4141 that were detected without dying itself, but under some conditions
4242 it didn't and died instead, which has been fixed.

44+ * When "git fetch" tries to find where the history of the repository
45+ it runs in has diverged from what the other side has, it has a
46+ mechanism to avoid digging too deep into irrelevant side branches.
47+ This however did not work well over the "smart-http" transport due
48+ to a design bug, which has been fixed.
49+
50+ * When we started cURL to talk to imap server when a new enough
51+ version of cURL library is available, we forgot to explicitly add
52+ imap(s):// before the destination. To some folks, that didn't work
53+ and the library tried to make HTTP(s) requests instead.
54+
55+ * The ./configure script generated from configure.ac was taught how
56+ to detect support of SSL by libcurl better.
57+
58+ * http.emptyauth configuration is a way to allow an empty username to
59+ pass when attempting to authenticate using mechanisms like
60+ Kerberos. We took an unspecified (NULL) username and sent ":"
61+ (i.e. no username, no password) to CURLOPT_USERPWD, but did not do
62+ the same when the username is explicitly set to an empty string.
63+
64+ * "git clone" of a local repository can be done at the filesystem
65+ level, but the codepath did not check errors while copying and
66+ adjusting the file that lists alternate object stores.
67+
68+ * Documentation for "git commit" was updated to clarify that "commit
69+ -p <paths>" adds to the current contents of the index to come up
70+ with what to commit.
71+
72+ * A stray symbolic link in $GIT_DIR/refs/ directory could make name
73+ resolution loop forever, which has been corrected.
74+
75+ * The "submodule.<name>.path" stored in .gitmodules is never copied
76+ to .git/config and such a key in .git/config has no meaning, but
77+ the documentation described it and submodule.<name>.url next to
78+ each other as if both belong to .git/config. This has been fixed.
79+
80+ * Recent git allows submodule.<name>.branch to use a special token
81+ "." instead of the branch name; the documentation has been updated
82+ to describe it.
83+
84+ * In a worktree connected to a repository elsewhere, created via "git
85+ worktree", "git checkout" attempts to protect users from confusion
86+ by refusing to check out a branch that is already checked out in
87+ another worktree. However, this also prevented checking out a
88+ branch, which is designated as the primary branch of a bare
89+ reopsitory, in a worktree that is connected to the bare
90+ repository. The check has been corrected to allow it.
91+
92+ * "git rebase" immediately after "git clone" failed to find the fork
93+ point from the upstream.
94+
95+ * When fetching from a remote that has many tags that are irrelevant
96+ to branches we are following, we used to waste way too many cycles
97+ when checking if the object pointed at by a tag (that we are not
98+ going to fetch!) exists in our repository too carefully.
99+
100+ * The Travis CI configuration we ship ran the tests with --verbose
101+ option but this risks non-TAP output that happens to be "ok" to be
102+ misinterpreted as TAP signalling a test that passed. This resulted
103+ in unnecessary failure. This has been corrected by introducing a
104+ new mode to run our tests in the test harness to send the verbose
105+ output separately to the log file.
106+
107+ * Some AsciiDoc formatter mishandles a displayed illustration with
108+ tabs in it. Adjust a few of them in merge-base documentation to
109+ work around them.
