+ * Our testing framework uses a special i18n "poisoned localization"
366
+ feature to find messages that ought to stay constant but are
367
+ incorrectly marked to be translated. This feature has been made
368

+ * "git push" used to check ambiguities between object-names and
371
+ refnames while processing the list of refs' old and new values,
372
+ which was unnecessary (as it knew that it is feeding raw object
373
+ names). This has been optimized out.

375
+ * The xcurl_off_t() helper function is used to cast size_t to
376
+ curl_off_t, but some compilers gave warnings against the code to
377
+ ensure the casting is done without wraparound, when size_t is
378
+ narrower than curl_off_t. This warning has been squelched.

380
+ * Code preparation to replace ulong vars with size_t vars where
381

383
+ * The "test installed Git" mode of our test suite has been updated to
384

+ * A coding convention around the Coccinelle semantic patches to have
387

388
