+The road to the upcoming 2.20 turned out to be a bit rockier as we
+had a couple of subcommands with larger importance (rebase and
+rebase-i) reimplemented, together with some new and exciting
+commands (like range-diff and its integration into format-patch),
+each with a few loose ends we needed to tie until the last minute.
+I've let -rc1 and -rc2 slip for a few days to make sure we get
+closer to a stable point, and I am hoping that a few topics that are
+at the bottom of master..pu chain with today's pushout merged to the
+'master' branch, I should be able to cut a 2.20-rc2 that is in a
+reasonable shape.

- Our testing framework uses a special i18n "poisoned localization"

- incorrectly marked to be translated.  This feature has been made

+ + format-patch: do not let its diff-options affect --range-diff
 
- When "git bundle" aborts due to an empty commit ranges
- (i.e. resulting in an empty pack), it left a file descriptor to an
- lockfile open, which resulted in leftover lockfile on Windows where
- you cannot remove a file with an open file descriptor.  This has
+ "git format-patch --range-diff" by mistake passed the diff options
+ used to generate the primary output of the command to the
+ range-diff machinery, which caused the range-diff in the cover
+ letter to include fairly useless "--stat" output.  This has been
+ corrected by forcing a non-customizable default formatting options
+ on the range-diff machinery when driven by format-patch.

+
+ "git rebase" reimplemented recently in C accidentally changed the

+ entries it leaves with "rebase -i", but the new version always

+ + rebase --stat: fix when rebasing to an unrelated history
+
+ "git rebase --stat" to transplant a piece of history onto a totally
+ unrelated history were not working before and silently showed wrong
+ result.  With the recent reimplementation in C, it started to instead
+ die with an error message, as the original logic was not prepared
+ to cope with this case.  This has now been fixed.

- The way -lcurl library gets linked has been simplified by taking

- + remote-curl.c: xcurl_off_t is not portable (on 32 bit platfoms)
-
- The xcurl_off_t() helper function is used to cast size_t to
- curl_off_t, but some compilers gave warnings against the code to
- ensure the casting is done without wraparound, when size_t is
- narrower than curl_off_t.  This warning has been squelched.
+ A documentation page that is referred to by other pages was not
+ built by mistake, which has been corrected.
