+ * A signature on a commit that was GPG signed long time ago ought to
+ be still valid after the key that was used to sign it has expired,
+ but we showed them in alarming red.
+
+ * "git subtree split --prefix=P <commit>" now checks the prefix P
+ against the tree of the (potentially quite different from the
+ current working tree) given commit.
