configuration.
+ * "git repo structure" command learns to report maximum values on
+ various aspects of objects it inspects.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------
* The object source API is getting restructured to allow plugging new
backends.
+ * Reduce dependence on the global the_hash_algo and the_repository
+ variables of wt-status code path.

Fixes since v2.53
-----------------
* "git for-each-repo" started from a secondary worktree did not work
as expected, which has been corrected.
(merge e87493b9b4 ds/for-each-repo-w-worktree later to maint).
+
+ * The construct 'test "$(command)" = expectation' loses the exit
+ status from the command, which has been fixed by breaking up the
+ statement into pieces.
+ (merge d3edca979a fp/t3310-unhide-git-failures later to maint).
+
+ * While discovering a ".git" directory, the code treats any stat()
+ failure as a sign that a filesystem entity .git does not exist
+ there, and ignores ".git" that is not a "gitdir" file or a
+ directory. The code has been tightened to notice and report
+ filesystem corruption better.
+ (merge 1dd27bfbfd ty/setup-error-tightening later to maint).
+
+ * Plug a few leaks where mmap'ed memory regions are not unmapped.
+ (merge a8a69bbb64 jk/unleak-mmap later to maint).
+
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
