146
+ * The long-standing rule that an in-core lockfile instance, once it
147

148

149

151
+ * Our hashmap implementation in hashmap.[ch] is not thread-safe when
152
+ adding a new item needs to expand the hashtable by rehashing; add
153

155
+ * Many of our programs consider that it is OK to release dynamic
156
+ storage that is used throughout the life of the program by simply
157
+ exiting, but this makes it harder to leak detection tools to avoid
158
+ reporting false positives. Plug many existing leaks and introduce
159
+ a mechanism for developers to mark that the region of memory
160
+ pointed by a pointer is not lost/leaking to help these tools.

162
+ * As "git commit" to conclude a conflicted "git merge" honors the
163
+ commit-msg hook, "git merge" that records a merge commit that
164

165
