22
+ * The build procedure for perl/ part has been greatly simplified by
23

24

25
+ * In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the machinery
26
+ for checking object connectivity used by gc and fsck has been
27
+ taught that a missing object is OK when it is referenced by a
28
+ packfile specially marked as coming from trusted repository that
29
+ promises to make them available on-demand and lazily.
30
+
31
+ * The machinery to clone & fetch, which in turn involves packing and
32
+ unpacking objects, has been told how to omit certain objects using
33
+ the filtering mechanism introduced by another topic. It now knows
34
+ to mark the resulting pack as a promisor pack to tolerate missing
35
+ objects, laying foundation for "narrow" clones.
36

37
+ * The first step to getting rid of mru API and using the
38
+ doubly-linked list API directly instead.
39
+
40
+ * Retire mru API as it does not give enough abstraction over
41
+ underlying list API to be worth it.
42

43
+ * Rewrite two more "git submodule" subcommands in C.
44

45
+ * The tracing machinery learned to report tweaking of environment
46
+ variables as well.

55
+ * The sequencer infrastructure is shared across "git cherry-pick",
56
+ "git rebase -i", etc., and has always spawned "git commit" when it
57
+ needs to create a commit. It has been taught to do so internally,
58
+ when able, by reusing the codepath "git commit" itself uses, which
59
+ gives performance boost for a few tens of percents in some sample
60
+ scenarios.
