+ * The build procedure for perl/ part has been greatly simplified by
+   weaning ourselves off of MakeMaker.
+
+ * In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the machinery
+   for checking object connectivity used by gc and fsck has been
+   taught that a missing object is OK when it is referenced by a
+   packfile specially marked as coming from trusted repository that
+   promises to make them available on-demand and lazily.
+
+ * The machinery to clone & fetch, which in turn involves packing and
+   unpacking objects, has been told how to omit certain objects using
+   the filtering mechanism introduced by another topic.  It now knows
+   to mark the resulting pack as a promisor pack to tolerate missing
+   objects, laying foundation for "narrow" clones.
+
+ * The first step to getting rid of mru API and using the
+   doubly-linked list API directly instead.
+
+ * Retire mru API as it does not give enough abstraction over
+   underlying list API to be worth it.
+
+ * Rewrite two more "git submodule" subcommands in C.
+
+ * The tracing machinery learned to report tweaking of environment
+   variables as well.

+ * Update Coccinelle rules to catch and optimize strbuf_addf(&buf, "%s", str)

+
+ * Prevent "clang-format" from breaking line after function return type.
+   (merge a3715d43e8 po/clang-format-functype-weight later to maint).
+
+ * The sequencer infrastructure is shared across "git cherry-pick",
+   "git rebase -i", etc., and has always spawned "git commit" when it
+   needs to create a commit.  It has been taught to do so internally,
+   when able, by reusing the codepath "git commit" itself uses, which
+   gives performance boost for a few tens of percents in some sample
+   scenarios.
