    that were detected without dying itself, but under some conditions
    it didn't and died instead, which has been fixed.
 
+ * When "git fetch" tries to find where the history of the repository
+   it runs in has diverged from what the other side has, it has a
+   mechanism to avoid digging too deep into irrelevant side branches.
+   This however did not work well over the "smart-http" transport due
+   to a design bug, which has been fixed.
+
+ * When we started cURL to talk to imap server when a new enough
+   version of cURL library is available, we forgot to explicitly add
+   imap(s):// before the destination.  To some folks, that didn't work
+   and the library tried to make HTTP(s) requests instead.
+
+ * The ./configure script generated from configure.ac was taught how
+   to detect support of SSL by libcurl better.
+
+ * http.emptyauth configuration is a way to allow an empty username to
+   pass when attempting to authenticate using mechanisms like
+   Kerberos.  We took an unspecified (NULL) username and sent ":"
+   (i.e. no username, no password) to CURLOPT_USERPWD, but did not do
+   the same when the username is explicitly set to an empty string.
+
+ * "git clone" of a local repository can be done at the filesystem
+   level, but the codepath did not check errors while copying and
+   adjusting the file that lists alternate object stores.
+
+ * Documentation for "git commit" was updated to clarify that "commit
+   -p <paths>" adds to the current contents of the index to come up
+   with what to commit.
+
+ * A stray symbolic link in $GIT_DIR/refs/ directory could make name
+   resolution loop forever, which has been corrected.
+
+ * The "submodule.<name>.path" stored in .gitmodules is never copied
+   to .git/config and such a key in .git/config has no meaning, but
+   the documentation described it and submodule.<name>.url next to
+   each other as if both belong to .git/config.  This has been fixed.
+
+ * Recent git allows submodule.<name>.branch to use a special token
+   "." instead of the branch name; the documentation has been updated
+   to describe it.
+
+ * In a worktree connected to a repository elsewhere, created via "git
+   worktree", "git checkout" attempts to protect users from confusion
+   by refusing to check out a branch that is already checked out in
+   another worktree.  However, this also prevented checking out a
+   branch, which is designated as the primary branch of a bare
+   reopsitory, in a worktree that is connected to the bare
+   repository.  The check has been corrected to allow it.
+
+ * "git rebase" immediately after "git clone" failed to find the fork
+   point from the upstream.
+
+ * When fetching from a remote that has many tags that are irrelevant
+   to branches we are following, we used to waste way too many cycles
+   when checking if the object pointed at by a tag (that we are not
+   going to fetch!) exists in our repository too carefully.
+
+ * The Travis CI configuration we ship ran the tests with --verbose
+   option but this risks non-TAP output that happens to be "ok" to be
+   misinterpreted as TAP signalling a test that passed.  This resulted
+   in unnecessary failure.  This has been corrected by introducing a
+   new mode to run our tests in the test harness to send the verbose
+   output separately to the log file.
+
+ * Some AsciiDoc formatter mishandles a displayed illustration with
+   tabs in it.  Adjust a few of them in merge-base documentation to
+   work around them.
