track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' notes
for details).
+ * The pathspec matching code, while comparing two trees (e.g. "git
+ diff A B -- path1 path2") was too agrresive and failed to match
+ some paths when multiple pathspecs were involved.

+
+ * An earlier update in v1.8.4.x to "git rev-list --objects" with
+ negative ref had performance regression.
+ (merge 200abe7 jk/mark-edges-uninteresting later to maint).
+
+ * A recent update to "git send-email" broke platforms where
+ /etc/ssl/certs/ directory exists, but it cannot used as SSL_ca_path
+ (e.g. Fedora rawhide).
+ (merge 01645b7 rk/send-email-ssl-cert later to maint).
+
+ * A handful of bugs around interpreting $branch@{upstream} notation
+ and its lookalike, when $branch part has interesting characters,
+ e.g. "@", and ":", have been fixed.
+ (merge 9892d5d jk/interpret-branch-name-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git clone" would fail to clone from a repository that has a ref
+ directly under "refs/", e.g. "refs/stash", because different
+ validation paths do different things on such a refname. Loosen the
+ client side's validation to allow such a ref.
+ (merge 4c22408 jk/allow-fetch-onelevel-refname later to maint).
+
+ * "git log --left-right A...B" lost the "leftness" of commits
+ reachable from A when A is a tag as a side effect of a recent
+ bugfix. This is a regression in 1.8.4.x series.
+ (merge a743528 jc/revision-range-unpeel later to maint).
+
+ * documentations to "git pull" hinted there is an "-m" option because
+ it incorrectly shared the documentation with "git merge".
+ (merge 08f19cf jc/maint-pull-docfix later to maint).
+
+ * "git diff A B submod" and "git diff A B submod/" ought to have done
+ the same for a submodule "submod", but didn't.
+
+ * "git clone $origin foo\bar\baz" on Windows failed to create the
+ leading directories (i.e. a moral-equivalent of "mkdir -p").
+
* "submodule.*.update=checkout", when propagated from .gitmodules to
.git/config, turned into a "submodule.*.update=none", which did not
make much sense.
