Note to those who build from the source
*
* Since Git 2.31, our source assumed that the compiler you use to
build Git supports variadic macros, with an easy-to-use escape
hatch to allow compilation without variadic macros with an request
to report that you had to use the escape hatch to the list.
Because we haven't heard from anybody who actually needed to use
the escape hatch, it has been removed, making support of variadic
macros a hard requirement.
UI, Workflows & Features

* The error message given by "git switch HEAD~4" has been clarified
to suggest the "--detach" option that is required.
* In sparse-checkouts, files mis-marked as missing from the working tree
could lead to later problems. Such files were hard to discover, and
harder to correct. Automatically detecting and correcting the marking
of such files has been added to avoid these problems.
* "git cat-file" learns "--batch-command" mode, which is a more
flexible interface than the existing "--batch" or "--batch-check"
modes, to allow different kinds of inquiries made.

* Use designated initializers we started using in mid 2017 in more
parts of the codebase that are relatively quiescent.
* Improve failure case behaviour of xdiff library when memory
allocation fails.
* General clean-up in reftable implementation, including
clarification of the API documentation, tightening the code to
honor documented length limit, etc.
* Remove the escape hatch we added when we introduced the weather
balloon to use variadic macros unconditionally, to make it official
that we now have a hard dependency on the feature.
Fixes since v2.35
