* During interactive rebase, using 'drop' on a merge commit led to

an error, which has been corrected.

49

* "git refs migrate" to migrate the reflog entries from a refs
50
+
backend to another had a handful of bugs squashed.
51
+
52
+
* "git push" had a code path that led to BUG() but it should have
53
+
been a die(), as it is a response to a usual but invalid end-user
54
+
action to attempt pushing an object that does not exist.
55
+
56
+
* Various bugs about rename handling in "ort" merge strategy have
57
+
been fixed.
58
+
59
+
* "git diff --no-index" run inside a subdirectory under control of a
60
+
Git repository operated at the top of the working tree and stripped
61
+
the prefix from the output, and oddballs like "-" (stdin) did not
62
+
work correctly because of it. Correct the set-up by undoing what
63
+
the set-up sequence did to cwd and prefix.
64
+
65
+
* Various options to "git diff" that make comparison ignore certain
66
+
aspects of the differences (like "space changes are ignored",
67
+
"differences in lines that match these regular expressions are
68
+
ignored") did not work well with "--name-only" and friends.
69
+
70
+
* Under a race against another process that is repacking the
71
+
repository, especially a partially cloned one, "git fetch" may
72
+
mistakenly think some objects we do have are missing, which has
73
+
been corrected.
74
+
75
+
* "git repack --path-walk" lost objects in some corner cases, which
76
+
has been corrected.

+
* Fixes multiple crashes around midx write-out codepaths.
80
+
81
+
* A broken or malicious "git fetch" can say that it has the same
82
+
object for many many times, and the upload-pack serving it can
83
+
exhaust memory storing them redundantly, which has been corrected.
84
+
85
+
* A corner case bug in "git log -L..." has been corrected.
86
+
87
+
* Some among "git add -p" and friends ignored color.diff and/or
88
+
color.ui configuration variables, which is an old regression, which
89
+
has been corrected.
90
+
91
+
* "git rebase -i" failed to clean-up the commit log message when the
92
+
command commits the final one in a chain of "fixup" commands, which
93
+
has been corrected.
94
+
95
+
* Deal more gracefully with directory / file conflicts when the files
96
+
backend is used for ref storage, by failing only the ones that are
97
+
involved in the conflict while allowing others.
