* CI updates. FreeBSD image has been updated to 13.4.
(merge 2eeb29702e cb/ci-freebsd-13-4 later to maint).
+ * Give timeout to the locking code to write to reftable, instead of
+ failing on the first failure without retrying.

Fixes since v2.46
-----------------
been corrected.
(merge 9a41735af6 rs/diff-exit-code-binary later to maint).
+ * When a subprocess to work in a submodule spawned by "git submodule"
+ fails with SIGPIPE, the parent Git process caught the death of it,
+ but gave a generic "failed to work in that submodule", which was
+ misleading. We now behave as if the parent got SIGPIPE and die.
+ (merge 082caf527e pw/submodule-process-sigpipe later to maint).
+
+ * "git archive" with pathspec magic that uses the attribute
+ information did not work well, which has been corrected.
+ (merge 296743a7ca rs/archive-with-attr-pathspec-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Background tasks "git maintenance" runs may need to use credential
+ information when going over the network, but a credential helper
+ may work only in an interactive environment, and end up blocking a
+ scheduled task waiting for UI. Credential helpers can now behave
+ differently when they are not running interactively.
+ (merge b9183b0a02 ds/background-maintenance-with-credential later to maint).
+
+ * "git --git-dir=nowhere cmd" failed to properly notice that it
+ wasn't in any repository while processing includeIf.onbranch
+ configuration and instead crashed.
+
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
