* 'git branch -d' has been taught to report when a branch cannot be
deleted because it is being used in an active bisect run.
+ * 'git mv' has been updated to check for a missing destination
+ leading directory during the checking phase, allowing 'git mv -n'
+ to report the failure. The error message when the rename(2)
+ syscall fails has also been improved to name both the source and
+ the destination.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------
before the walk reaches it does not prematurely mutate its tracked
line ranges, making it safer for potential lookahead evaluations.
+ * Synopsis and options in the documentation for 'git format-patch',
+ 'git imap-send', 'git send-email', and 'git request-pull' have been
+ updated to the modern style.
+
+ * A new test helper commit_body() has been introduced to print the
+ message body of a commit, and various tests have been updated to use
+ it instead of spelling out the command pipeline manually and losing
+ the exit status of the 'git cat-file' command on the upstream of the
+ pipe.
+
+ * Tests for 'git merge-base --is-ancestor' have been added to cover
+ exit codes (0 for success, 1 for non-ancestor, 128 for errors) and
+ to ensure it cannot be combined with '--all'.

Fixes since v2.55
-----------------
invalidated cache-tree node (due to an intent-to-add path) has been
fixed by avoiding collapsing such subtrees.
(merge eede1e69fe ds/sparse-index-ita-crash later to maint).
+
+ * Documentation for 'git replay' has been updated to refer to its
+ configuration variables.
