The known limitations of the ref format migration in 'git refs' have

'linkgit' macro.

+ bloom: silence CHECK_ASSERTION_SIDE_EFFECTS false positive

A segfault when 'git clone --revision' talks to a server that does not
support protocol v2 (falling back to protocol v0) has been corrected.
The image version used by the static-analysis CI job has been bumped
to ubuntu-latest (Ubuntu 24.04), which brings in a newer Coccinelle
version that resolves a severe performance regression. A false
positive warning from the 'CHECK_ASSERTION_SIDE_EFFECTS' build with
GCC 15 in the Bloom filter code has also been silenced to facilitate
the image upgrade.

'git diff --relative' running with '--cached' has been corrected to
avoid a segfault when encountering unmerged paths outside the

When the push remote is specified as a URL, the fetch refspec of a

The alias tests in 't/t0014-alias.sh' have been updated to dynamically
query the list of deprecated commands using 'git
--list-cmds=deprecated' to avoid test failures when running with
'WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES' in a build directory that contains stale
executables of formerly deprecated commands.

Traversals with '--exclude-first-parent-only' have been corrected
to properly stop after the first parent even when it has already
been marked as 'SEEN'.
Git for Windows has been updated to avoid auto-detecting the symlink
type if the target path starts with a slash, preventing NTLM
credential leaks when checking out repositories with crafted
symbolic links pointing to network shares.

rewrites_release() in 'remote.c' has been updated to free 'struct
rewrite' instances, their '.instead_of' arrays, and their contents.
Object database housekeeping in 'git gc' and 'git maintenance' has
been refactored to be pluggable. The files-backend-specific logic,
including incremental and geometric repacking as well as object
pruning, has been moved out of the command implementation and into the
files object database source, enabling future alternative object
database backends to implement their own housekeeping services.

+ rebase -i: fix counting of fixups after rebase --skip

Configuration file locking has been updated to retry for a short
period, avoiding failures when multiple processes attempt to update
the configuration simultaneously.
Two bugs in how 'git rebase' handles skipped 'fixup' and 'squash'
commands have been fixed. One bug caused an incorrect commit count to
be shown in the template message when multiple commands were skipped,
and another prevented the editor from opening when the final command
in a chain containing 'fixup -c' was skipped.

+ branch: report active bisect run when rejecting delete

The 'remote-object-info' command has been added to 'git cat-file
--batch-command', allowing clients to request object metadata
(currently size) from a remote server via protocol v2 without
downloading the entire object. Format placeholders are dynamically
filtered on the client based on server-advertised capabilities,
returning empty strings for inapplicable or unsupported fields.
'git branch -d' has been taught to report when a branch cannot be
deleted because it is being used in an active bisect run.

- object-name: use hexval
- hex: label usages of hex parsing for object IDs
- hex: make hex_to_bytes accept kind of hex to use
- hex: allow specifying hex type with hex2chr
- hex: add functionality for lowercase-only hex

The logic to write loose objects has been refactored and moved from
'object-file.c' to the loose backend source file 'odb/source-loose.c',
making the loose backend more self-contained. This is achieved by
first refactoring force_object_loose() to use generic ODB write
interfaces instead of loose-backend internals.
The parser for hex object names has been updated to reject uppercase
hexadecimal characters when running in the breaking changes mode, in
preparation for Git 3.0.

- windows: skip linking `git-<command>` for built-ins

- mingw: set the prefix and HOST_CPU as per MSYS2's settings
- mingw: avoid over-specifying `--pic-executable`

- mingw: drop the -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T option
- mingw: stop hard-coding `CC = gcc`
- mingw: include the Python parts in the build

The tempfile and lockfile APIs have been refactored to stop depending
on the 'the_repository' global variable, and their callers have been
updated to use the repository-aware variants.
A collection of patches from Git for Windows has been upstreamed,
mostly focusing on simplifying and robustifying build configurations
for MinGW/MSYS2, dropping obsolete compatibility options, and
allowing the main git.exe to be used directly without the extra
wrapper process on Windows.

- doc: refs: put ref migration warning under the command

The known limitations of the ref format migration in 'git refs' have
been moved to be displayed as a warning admonition directly under the
description of the 'migrate' subcommand, improving visibility. A
reference to 'git-maintenance' has also been corrected to use the
'linkgit' macro.

The image version used by the static-analysis CI job has been bumped
