* A configuration variable tells "git fetch" to write the commit
graph after finishing.
+ * "git add -i" has been taught to show the total number of hunks and
+ the hunks that has been processed so far when showing prompts.
+
+ * "git fetch --jobs=<n>" allowed <n> parallel jobs when fetching
+ submodules, but this did not apply to "git fetch --multiple" that
+ fetches from multiple remote repositories. It now does.
+
+ * The installation instruction for zsh completion script (in
+ contrib/) has been a bit improved.
+
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Update the way build artifacts in t/helper/ directory are ignored.
+ * Preparation for SHA-256 upgrade continues.
+
+ * "git log --graph" for an octopus merge is sometimes colored
+ incorrectly, which is demonstrated and documented but not yet
+ fixed.
+
+ * The trace2 output, when sending them to files in a designated
+ directory, can populate the directory with too many files; a
+ mechanism is introduced to set the maximum number of files and
+ discard further logs when the maximum is reached.
+
+ * We have adopted a Code-of-conduct document.

Fixes since v2.23
-----------------
directory has been fixed.
(merge 83e3ad3b12 jt/merge-recursive-symlink-is-not-a-dir-in-way later to maint).
+ * The rename detection logic sorts a list of rename source candidates
+ by similarity to pick the best candidate, which means that a tie
+ between sources with the same similarity is broken by the original
+ location in the original candidate list (which is sorted by path).
+ Force the sorting by similarity done with a stable sort, which is
+ not promised by system supplied qsort(3), to ensure consistent
+ results across platforms.
+ (merge 2049b8dc65 js/diff-rename-force-stable-sort later to maint).
+
+ * The code to skip "UTF" and "UTF-" prefix, when computing an advice
+ message, did not work correctly when the prefix was "UTF", which
+ has been fixed.
+ (merge b181676ce9 rs/convert-fix-utf-without-dash later to maint).
+
+ * The author names taken from SVN repositories may have extra leading
+ or trailing whitespaces, which are now munged away.
+ (merge 4ddd4bddb1 tk/git-svn-trim-author-name later to maint).
+
+ * "git rebase -i" showed a wrong HEAD while "reword" open the editor.
+ (merge b0a3186140 pw/rebase-i-show-HEAD-to-reword later to maint).
+
+ * A few simplification and bugfixes to PCRE interface.
+ (merge c581e4a749 ab/pcre-jit-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * PCRE fixes.
+ (merge ff61681b46 cb/pcre1-cleanup later to maint).
+
+ * "git range-diff" segfaulted when diff.noprefix configuration was
+ used, as it blindly expected the patch it internally generates to
+ have the standard a/ and b/ prefixes. The command now forces the
+ internal patch to be built without any prefix, not to be affected
+ by any end-user configuration.
+ (merge 937b76ed49 js/range-diff-noprefix later to maint).
+
+ * "git stash apply" in a subdirectory of a secondary worktree failed
+ to access the worktree correctly, which has been corrected.
+ (merge dfd557c978 js/stash-apply-in-secondary-worktree later to maint).
+
+ * The merge-recursive machiery is one of the most complex parts of
+ the system that accumulated cruft over time. This large series
+ cleans up the implementation quite a bit.
+ (merge b657047719 en/merge-recursive-cleanup later to maint).
+
+ * Pretty-printed command line formatter (used in e.g. reporting the
+ command being run by the tracing API) had a bug that lost an
+ argument that is an empty string, which has been corrected.
+ (merge ce2d7ed2fd gs/sq-quote-buf-pretty later to maint).
+
+ * "git range-diff" failed to handle mode-only change, which has been
+ corrected.
+ (merge 2b6a9b13ca tg/range-diff-output-update later to maint).
+
+ * Dev support update.
+ (merge 4f3c1dc5d6 dl/allow-running-cocci-verbosely later to maint).
+
+ * "git format-patch -o <outdir>" did an equivalent of "mkdir <outdir>"
+ not "mkdir -p <outdir>", which was corrected.
+
+ * "git stash save" lost local changes to submodules, which has been
+ corrected.
+ (merge 556895d0c8 jj/stash-reset-only-toplevel later to maint).
+
+ * The atomic push over smart HTTP transport did not work, which has
+ been corrected.
+ (merge 6f1194246a bc/smart-http-atomic-push later to maint).
+
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
