eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error, upgrading
the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature.
* The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..."
has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in the
next release (not this one).
* The default abbreviation length, which has historically been 7, now
scales as the repository grows, using the approximate number of
objects in the reopsitory and a bit of math around the birthday
paradox. The logic suggests to use 12 hexdigits for the Linux
kernel, and 9 to 10 for Git itself.

* When new paths were added by "git add -N" to the index, it was
enough to circumvent the check by "git commit" to refrain from
making an empty commit without "--allow-empty". The same logic
prevented "git status" to show such a path as "new file" in the

allowed possibly truncated paths to the directory. This has been
tightened to reject such a request that causes overlong path to be
