+ * The "pack-redundant" command, which has been left stale with almost
+   unusable performance issues, now warns loudly when it gets used, as
+   we no longer want to recommend its use (instead just "repack -d"

  * "git maintenance" learned to drive scheduled maintenance on

+ * After expiring a reflog and making a single commit, the reflog for

+   @{1}, but we failed to answer "what commit were we on?", i.e. @{1}
+
+ * "git bundle" learns "--stdin" option to read its refs from the

+ * Two new ways to feed configuration variable-value pairs via
