* "git p4" used a location outside $GIT_DIR/refs/ to place its
170
temporary branches, which has been moved to refs/git-p4-tmp/.
171
172
+ * Existing autoconf generated test for the need to link with pthread
173
+ library did not check all the functions from pthread libraries;
174
+ recent FreeBSD has some functions in libc but not others, and we
175
+ mistakenly thought linking with libc is enough when it is not.

178
+ * When "git fsck" reports a broken link (e.g. a tree object contains
179
+ a blob that does not exist), both containing object and the object
180
+ that is referred to were reported with their 40-hex object names.
181
+ The command learned the "--name-objects" option to show the path to
182
+ the containing object from existing refs (e.g. "HEAD~24^2:file.txt").
183

184
+ * Allow http daemon tests in Travis CI tests.
185

187
+ * Makefile assumed that -lrt is always available on platforms that
188
+ want to use clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, which is not a
189
+ case for recent Mac OS X. The necessary symbols are often found in
190
+ libc on many modern systems and having -lrt on the command line, as
191
+ long as the library exists, had no effect, but when the platform
192
+ removes librt.a that is a different matter--having -lrt will break
193
+ the linkage.
194
+
195
+ This change could be seen as a regression for those who do need to
196
+ specify -lrt, as they now specifically ask for NEEDS_LIBRT when
197
+ building. Hopefully they are in the minority these days.
198
+
199
+ * Further preparatory work on the refs API before the pluggable
200
+ backend series can land.
201
+
202
+ * Error handling in the codepaths that updates refs has been
203
+ improved.
204
+
205
+ * The API to iterate over all the refs (i.e. for_each_ref(), etc.)
206
+ has been revamped.
