* "git history" history rewriting (experimental) command has been
added.
-
* "git replay" is taught to drop commits that become empty (not the
ones that are empty in the original).
* Command line completion (in contrib/) update for
"stash import/export".
+ * "git repo info" learns "--keys" action to list known keys.

already do on Linux and Windows. Also adjust the way Windows
implementation reports this information to match the other two.
+ * A handful of places used refs_for_each_ref_in() API incorrectly,
+ which has been corrected.

(merge f4eff7116d ps/pack-concat-wo-backfill later to maint).
+ * "git switch <name>", in an attempt to create a local branch <name>
+ after a remote tracking branch of the same name gave an advise
+ message to disambiguate using "git checkout", which has been
+ updated to use "git switch".
+ (merge 12fee11f21 jc/checkout-switch-restore later to maint).
+
+ * It does not make much sense to apply the "incomplete-line"
+ whitespace rule to symbolic links, whose contents almost always
+ lack the final newline. "git apply" and "git diff" are now taught
+ to exclude them for a change to symbolic links.
+ (merge 6a41481c6d jc/whitespace-incomplete-line later to maint).
+
+ * "git format-patch --from=<me>" did not honor the command line
+ option when writing out the cover letter, which has been corrected.
+
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
