* The approxidate parser learns to parse seconds with fraction and
ignore fractional part.
* The userdiff patterns for Markdown documents have been added.
* The sparse-checkout patterns have been forbidden from excluding all
paths, leaving an empty working tree, for a long time. This
limitation has been lifted.
* "git restore --staged --worktree" now defaults to take the contents
out of "HEAD", instead of erring out.

correctly honor the core.sharedRepository settings and some were
left read-write.
* In error messages that "git switch" mentions its option to create a
new branch, "-b/-B" options were shown, where "-c/-C" options
should be, which has been corrected.
(merge 7c16ef7577 dl/switch-c-option-in-error-message later to maint).
* With the recent tightening of the code that is used to parse
various parts of a URL for use in the credential subsystem, a
hand-edited credential-store file causes the credential helper to
die, which is a bit too harsh to the users. Demote the error
behaviour to just ignore and keep using well-formed lines instead.
(merge c03859a665 cb/credential-store-ignore-bogus-lines later to maint).
* The samples in the credential documentation has been updated to
make it clear that we depict what would appear in the .git/config
file, by adding appropriate quotes as needed..
(merge 177681a07e jk/credential-sample-update later to maint).
* "git branch" and other "for-each-ref" variants accepted multiple
--sort=<key> options in the increasing order of precedence, but it
had a few breakages around "--ignore-case" handling, and tie-breaking
with the refname, which have been fixed.
(merge 7c5045fc18 jk/for-each-ref-multi-key-sort-fix later to maint).
* The coding guideline for shell scripts instructed to refer to a
variable with dollar-sign inside arithmetic expansion to work
around a bug in old versions of dash, which is a thing of the past.
Now we are not forbidden from writing $((var+1)).
(merge 32b5fe7f0e jk/arith-expansion-coding-guidelines later to maint).
* The <stdlib.h> header on NetBSD brings in its own definition of
hmac() function (eek), which conflicts with our own and unrelated
function with the same name. Our function has been renamed to work
around the issue.

* The basic test did not honor $TEST_SHELL_PATH setting, which has
been corrected.
