40
- Recent update to git-sh-setup (a library of shell functions that

42
- another shell library git-sh-i18n without specifying where it is,
43

- The user always has to say "stash@{$N}" when naming a single

65
106
- The smudge/clean filter API expect an external process is spawned
107
- to filter the contents for each path that has a filter defined. A
108
- new type of "process" filter API has been added to allow the first
109
- request to run the filter for a path to spawn a single process, and
110
- all filtering need is served by this single process for multiple
111
- paths, reducing the process creation overhead.

121
- Git generally does not explicitly close file descriptors that were
122
- open in the parent process when spawning a child process, but most
123
- of the time the child does not want to access them. As Windows does
124
- not allow removing or renaming a file that has a file descriptor
125
- open, a slow-to-exit child can even break the parent process by
126
- holding onto them. Use O_CLOEXEC flag to open files in various
127
- codepaths.
