+ - mv: name both source and destination when rename fails
- 'git receive-pack' has been refactored to use ODB transaction
- interfaces instead of directly managing 'tmp_objdir' for staging
- incoming objects, bringing it closer to being ODB backend agnostic.
+ '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.

- The 'git rev-list --no-walk' command has been corrected to restore
- pathspec filtering, which was lost when the streaming walk was
- refactored.
+ The creation of the on-disk data structures for the object database
+ has been made pluggable, allowing future backends to customize their

- The object database enumeration interface odb_for_each_object() has
- been taught to accept object filters, allowing the underlying backends
- to optimize the traversal by using reachability bitmaps when
- available. 'git cat-file --batch-all-objects' has been updated to use
- this generic interface, simplifying its code and avoiding direct
- access to ODB backend internals.
