    to read or write past the allocated buffer and abort, instead of
    reporting an error, which has been fixed.
 
+ * "git rebase -i" did not clear the state files correctly when a run
+   of "squash/fixup" is aborted and then the user manually amended the
+   commit instead, which has been corrected.
+   (merge 10d2f35436 js/rebase-i-autosquash-fix later to maint).
+
+ * When fsmonitor is in use, after operation on submodules updates
+   .gitmodules, we lost track of the fact that we did so and relied on
+   stale fsmonitor data.
+   (merge 43f1180814 bp/mv-submodules-with-fsmonitor later to maint).
+
+ * Fix for a long-standing bug that leaves the index file corrupt when

+
+ * "git add ':(attr:foo)'" is not supported and is supposed to be
+   rejected while the command line arguments are parsed, but we fail
+   to reject such a command line upfront.
+   (merge 84d938b732 nd/attr-pathspec-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Recent update broke the reachability algorithm when refs (e.g.
+   tags) that point at objects that are not commit were involved,
+   which has been fixed.
+
+ * "git rebase" etc. in Git 2.19 fails to abort when given an empty
+   commit log message as result of editing, which has been corrected.
+   (merge a3ec9eaf38 en/sequencer-empty-edit-result-aborts later to maint).
