* "git add -p" learned a new mode that allows the user to revisit a
file that was already dealt with.
+ * Allow the directory in which reference backends store their data to
+ be specified.
+
+ * "gitweb" has been taught to be mobile friendly.
+
+ * "git apply --directory=./un/../normalized/path" now normalizes the
+ given path before using it.
+
+ * "git maintenance" starts using the "geometric" strategy by default.
+
+ * "git config list" is taught to show the values interpreted for
+ specific type with "--type=<X>" option.
+
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------
* The code to accept shallow "git push" has been optimized.
+ * Simplify build procedure for oxskeychain (in contrib/).
+
+ * Fix dependency screw-up in meson-based builds.
+
+ * Wean the mailmap code off of the_repository dependency.
+
+ * API clean-up for the worktree subsystem.
+
+ * The last uses of the_repository in "tree-diff.c" have been
+ eradicated.
+
+ * Clean-up the code around "git repo info" command.
+
+ * Mark the marge-ort codebase to prevent more uses of the_repository
+ from getting added.
+
Fixes since v2.53
-----------------
* An earlier attempt to optimize "git subtree" discarded too much
relevant histories, which has been corrected.
+ * A prefetch call can be triggered to access a stale diff_queue entry
+ after diffcore-break breaks a filepair into two and freed the
+ original entry that is no longer used, leading to a segfault, which
+ has been corrected.
+ (merge 2d88ab078d hy/diff-lazy-fetch-with-break-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git fetch --deepen" that tries to go beyond merged branch used to
+ get confused where the updated shallow points are, which has been
+ corrected.
+ (merge 3ef68ff40e sp/shallow-deepen-relative-fix later to maint).

* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
