Note to those who build from the source

+ * Since Git 2.31, our source assumed that the compiler you use to
+ build Git supports variadic macros, with an easy-to-use escape
+ hatch to allow compilation without variadic macros with an request
+ to report that you had to use the escape hatch to the list.
+ Because we haven't heard from anybody who actually needed to use
+ the escape hatch, it has been removed, making support of variadic
+ macros a hard requirement.

* The error message given by "git switch HEAD~4" has been clarified
to suggest the "--detach" option that is required.
+ * In sparse-checkouts, files mis-marked as missing from the working tree
+ could lead to later problems. Such files were hard to discover, and
+ harder to correct. Automatically detecting and correcting the marking
+ of such files has been added to avoid these problems.

+ flexible interface than the existing "--batch" or "--batch-check"
+ modes, to allow different kinds of inquiries made.
