Fixes since v2.50
-----------------
now removes refs/heads/foo/ if the directory is otherwise not used.
(merge a3a7f20516 ps/refs-files-remove-empty-parent later to maint).
+ * "pack-objects" has been taught to avoid pointing into objects in
+ cruft packs from midx.
+
+ * "git remote" now detects remote names that overlap with each other
+ (e.g., remote nickname "outer" and "outer/inner" are used at the
+ same time), as it will lead to overlapping remote-tracking
+ branches.
+ (merge a5a727c448 jk/remote-avoid-overlapping-names later to maint).
+
+ * The gpg.program configuration variable, which names a pathname to
+ the (custom) GPG compatible program, can now be spelled with ~tilde
+ expansion.
+ (merge 7d275cd5c0 jb/gpg-program-variable-is-a-pathname later to maint).
