* The build procedure for perl/ part has been greatly simplified by
23+
weaning ourselves off of MakeMaker.
24+
25+
* In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the machinery
26+
for checking object connectivity used by gc and fsck has been
27+
taught that a missing object is OK when it is referenced by a
28+
packfile specially marked as coming from trusted repository that
29+
promises to make them available on-demand and lazily.
30+
31+
* The machinery to clone & fetch, which in turn involves packing and
32+
unpacking objects, has been told how to omit certain objects using
33+
the filtering mechanism introduced by another topic. It now knows
34+
to mark the resulting pack as a promisor pack to tolerate missing
35+
objects, laying foundation for "narrow" clones.
36+
37+
* The first step to getting rid of mru API and using the
38+
doubly-linked list API directly instead.
39+
40+
* Retire mru API as it does not give enough abstraction over
41+
underlying list API to be worth it.
42+

* Rewrite two more "git submodule" subcommands in C.

* The tracing machinery learned to report tweaking of environment
46+
variables as well.

* The sequencer infrastructure is shared across "git cherry-pick",
56+
"git rebase -i", etc., and has always spawned "git commit" when it
57+
needs to create a commit. It has been taught to do so internally,
58+
when able, by reusing the codepath "git commit" itself uses, which
59+
gives performance boost for a few tens of percents in some sample
60+
scenarios.
