158 * "git reflog" stopped upon seeing an entry that denotes a branch
159 creation event (aka "unborn"), which made it appear as if the
160 reflog was truncated.

200 + * The internal code used to show local timezone offset is not
201 + prepared to handle timestamps beyond year 2100, and gave a

204 + of aborting.

217 + report paths that are omitted due to branch prefix incorrectly, has
218 + been fixed; the command said "Ignoring file outside of prefix" for
219 + paths that are _inside_.
