490 * "git diff --indent-heuristic" had a bad corner case performance.
491 (merge 301ef85401 sb/indent-heuristic-optim later to maint).
492
493 + * The "--exec" option to "git rebase --rebase-merges" placed the exec
494 + commands at wrong places, which has been corrected.
495 +
496 + * "git verify-tag" and "git verify-commit" have been taught to use
497 + the exit status of underlying "gpg --verify" to signal bad or
498 + untrusted signature they found.
499 + (merge 4e5dc9ca17 jc/gpg-status later to maint).
500 +
501 + * "git mergetool" stopped and gave an extra prompt to continue after
502 + the last path has been handled, which did not make much sense.
503 + (merge d651a54b8a ng/mergetool-lose-final-prompt later to maint).
504 +
505 + * Among the three codepaths we use O_APPEND to open a file for
506 + appending, one used for writing GIT_TRACE output requires O_APPEND
507 + implementation that behaves sensibly when multiple processes are
508 + writing to the same file. POSIX emulation used in the Windows port
509 + has been updated to improve in this area.

520 +
521 + * When "git rebase -i" is told to squash two or more commits into
522 + one, it labeled the log message for each commit with its number.
523 + It correctly called the first one "1st commit", but the next one
524 + was "commit #1", which was off-by-one. This has been corrected.
