* "git clone" tries to locally check out the branch pointed at by
HEAD of the remote repository after it is done, but the protocol
did not convey the information necessary to do so when copying an
empty repository. The protocol v2 learned how to do so.
* There are other ways than ".." for a single token to denote a
"commit range", namely "<rev>^!" and "<rev>^-<n>", but "git
range-diff" did not understand them.
* The "git range-diff" command learned "--(left|right)-only" option
to show only one side of the compared range.
* "git mergetool" feeds three versions (base, local and remote) of
a conflicted path unmodified. The command learned to optionally
prepare these files with unconflicted parts already resolved.
* The .mailmap is documented to be read only from the root level of a
working tree, but a stray file in a bare repository also was read
by accident, which has been corrected.
* "git maintenance" tool learned a new "pack-refs" maintenance task.
* The error message given when a configuration variable that is
expected to have a boolean value has been improved.

* Introduce an on-disk file to record revindex for packdata, which
traditionally was always created on the fly and only in-core.
* The commit-graph learned to use corrected commit dates instead of
the generation number to help topological revision traversal.
* Piecemeal of rewrite of "git bisect" in C continues.

* Even though invocations of "die()" were logged to the trace2
system, "BUG()"s were not, which has been corrected.

* "git grep --untracked" is meant to be "let's ALSO find in these
files on the filesystem" when looking for matches in the working
tree files, and does not make any sense if the primary search is
done against the index, or the tree objects. The "--cached" and
"--untracked" options have been marked as mutually incompatible.

* Fix "git fsck --name-objects" which apparently has not been used by
anybody who is motivated enough to report breakage.

* When certain features (e.g. grafts) used in the repository are
