  * Adjust to the way newer versions of cURL selectively enable tracing
    options, so that our tests can continue to work.
 
+ * During interactive rebase, using 'drop' on a merge commit led to
+   an error, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git refs migrate" to migrate the reflog entries from a refs
+   backend to another had a handful of bugs squashed.
+
+ * "git push" had a code path that led to BUG() but it should have
+   been a die(), as it is a response to a usual but invalid end-user
+   action to attempt pushing an object that does not exist.
+
+ * Various bugs about rename handling in "ort" merge strategy have
+   been fixed.
+
+ * "git diff --no-index" run inside a subdirectory under control of a
+   Git repository operated at the top of the working tree and stripped
+   the prefix from the output, and oddballs like "-" (stdin) did not
+   work correctly because of it.  Correct the set-up by undoing what
+   the set-up sequence did to cwd and prefix.
+
+ * Various options to "git diff" that make comparison ignore certain
+   aspects of the differences (like "space changes are ignored",
+   "differences in lines that match these regular expressions are
+   ignored") did not work well with "--name-only" and friends.
+
+ * Under a race against another process that is repacking the
+   repository, especially a partially cloned one, "git fetch" may
+   mistakenly think some objects we do have are missing, which has
+   been corrected.
+
+ * "git repack --path-walk" lost objects in some corner cases, which
+   has been corrected.
+   cf. <CABPp-BHFxxGrqKc0m==TjQNjDGdO=H5Rf6EFsf2nfE1=TuraOQ@mail.gmail.com>
+
+ * Fixes multiple crashes around midx write-out codepaths.
+
+ * A broken or malicious "git fetch" can say that it has the same
+   object for many many times, and the upload-pack serving it can
+   exhaust memory storing them redundantly, which has been corrected.
+
+ * A corner case bug in "git log -L..." has been corrected.
+
+ * Some among "git add -p" and friends ignored color.diff and/or
+   color.ui configuration variables, which is an old regression, which
+   has been corrected.
+
+ * "git rebase -i" failed to clean-up the commit log message when the
+   command commits the final one in a chain of "fixup" commands, which
+   has been corrected.
+
+ * Deal more gracefully with directory / file conflicts when the files
+   backend is used for ref storage, by failing only the ones that are
+   involved in the conflict while allowing others.
+
 Also contains various documentation updates, code cleanups and minor fixups.
