"git rev-parse --verify -q --end-of-options $rev".
+ * The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to expand
+ commands that are alias of alias.
+
+ * "git update-ref --stdin" learns to take multiple transactions in a
+ single session.
+
+ * Various subcommands of "git config" that take value_regex
+ learned the "--literal-value" option to take the value_regex option
+ as a literal string.
+
+ * The transport layer was taught to optionally exchange the session
+ ID assigned by the trace2 subsystem during fetch/push transactions.
+
+ * "git imap-send" used to ignore configuration variables like
+ core.askpass; this has been corrected.
+
+ * "git $cmd $args", when $cmd is not a recognised subcommand, by
+ default tries to see if $cmd is a typo of an existing subcommand
+ and optionally executes the corrected command if there is only one
+ possibility, depending on the setting of help.autocorrect; the
+ users can now disable the whole thing, including the cycles spent
+ to find a likely typo, by setting the configuration variable to
+ 'never'.

test pieces to run.
* Adjust tests so that they won't scream when the default initial
- branch name is changed to 'main'.
+ branch name is different from 'master'.
* Rewriting "git bisect" in C continues.
- * More preliminary tests have been added to document desired outcome
+ * More preliminary tests have been added to document desired outcomes
of various "directory rename" situations.
* Micro clean-up of a couple of test scripts.
* The code to detect premature EOF in the sideband demultiplexer has
been cleaned up.
- * Test scripts are being prepared to transition of the default branch
- name to 'main'.
-
* "git fetch --depth=<n>" over the stateless RPC / smart HTTP
transport handled EOF from the client poorly at the server end.
* A specialization of hashmap that uses a string as key has been
introduced. Hopefully it will see wider use over time.
+ * "git bisect start/next" in a large span of history spends a lot of
+ time trying to come up with exactly the half-way point; this can be
+ optimized by stopping when we see a commit that is close enough to
+ the half-way point.
+
+ * A lazily defined test prerequisite can now be defined in terms of
+ another lazily defined test prerequisite.
+
+ * Expectation for the original contributor after responding to a
+ review comment to use the explanation in a patch update has been
+ described.
+
+ * Multiple "credential-store" backends can race to lock the same
+ file, causing everybody else but one to fail---reattempt locking
+ with some timeout to reduce the rate of the failure.
+
+ * "git-parse-remote" shell script library outlived its usefulness.
+
+ * Like die() and error(), a call to warning() will also trigger a
+ trace2 event.
+
+ * Use of non-reentrant localtime() has been removed.
+
+ * Non-reentrant time-related library functions and ctime/asctime with
+ awkward calling interfaces are banned from the codebase.

Fixes since v2.29
-----------------
(merge c779386182 jc/sequencer-stopped-sha-simplify later to maint).
* The code to see if "git stash drop" can safely remove refs/stash
- has been made more carerful.
+ has been made more careful.
(merge 4f44c5659b rs/empty-reflog-check-fix later to maint).
* "git log -L<range>:<path>" is documented to take no pathspec, but
* Fix regression introduced when nvimdiff support in mergetool was added.
(merge 12026f46e7 pd/mergetool-nvimdiff later to maint).
+ * The exchange between receive-pack and proc-receive hook did not
+ carefully check for errors.
+
+ * The code was not prepared to deal with pack .idx file that is
+ larger than 4GB.
+ (merge 81c4c5cf2e jk/4gb-idx later to maint).
+
+ * Since jgit does not yet work with SHA-256 repositories, mark the
+ tests that use it not to run unless we are testing with ShA-1
+ repositories.
+ (merge ea699b4adc sg/t5310-jgit-wants-sha1 later to maint).
+
+ * Config parser fix for "git notes".
+ (merge 45fef1599a na/notes-displayref-is-not-boolean later to maint).
+
+ * Move a definition of compatibility wrapper from cache.h to
+ git-compat-util.h
+ (merge a76b138daa hn/sleep-millisec-decl later to maint).
+
+ * Error message fix.
+ (merge eaf5341538 km/stash-error-message-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules" checked for local changes
+ in a wrong range and failed to run correctly when it should.
+ (merge 5176f20ffe pb/pull-rebase-recurse-submodules later to maint).
+
+ * "git push" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,
+ still computing to find a good compression, wasting cycles. This
+ has been corrected.
+ (merge 8b59935114 jk/stop-pack-objects-when-push-is-killed later to maint).
+
+ * "git fetch" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,
+ still computing to find a good compression, wasting cycles. This
+ has been corrected.
+ (merge 309a4028e7 jk/stop-pack-objects-when-fetch-is-killed later to maint).
+
+ * "git add -i" failed to honor custom colors configured to show
+ patches, which has been corrected.
+ (merge 96386faa03 js/add-i-color-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Processes that access packdata while the .idx file gets removed
+ (e.g. while repacking) did not fail or fall back gracefully as they
+ could.
+ (merge 506ec2fbda tb/idx-midx-race-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git apply" adjusted the permission bits of working-tree files and
+ directories according to core.sharedRepository setting by mistake and
+ for a long time, which has been corrected.
+ (merge eb3c027e17 mt/do-not-use-scld-in-working-tree later to maint).
+
+ * "fetch-pack" could pass NULL pointer to unlink(2) when it sees an
+ invalid filename; the error checking has been tightened to make
+ this impossible.
+ (merge 6031af387e rs/fetch-pack-invalid-lockfile later to maint).
+
+ * "git maintenance run/start/stop" needed to be run in a repository
+ to hold the lockfile they use, but didn't make sure they are
+ actually in a repository, which has been corrected.
+
+ * The glossary described a branch as an "active" line of development,
+ which is misleading---a stale and non-moving branch is still a
+ branch.
+ (merge eef1ceabd8 so/glossary-branch-is-not-necessarily-active later to maint).
+
+ * Newer versions of xsltproc can assign IDs in HTML documents it
+ generates in a consistent manner. Use the feature to help format
+ HTML version of the user manual reproducibly.
+ (merge 3569e11d69 ae/doc-reproducible-html later to maint).
+
+ * Tighten error checking in the codepath that responds to "git fetch".
+ (merge d43a21bdbb jk/check-config-parsing-error-in-upload-pack later to maint).
+
+ * "git pack-redundant" when there is only one packfile used to crash,
+ which has been corrected.
