falsely related to unrelated commits rendered immediately above them.
* Userdiff patterns for Swift have been added, with support for
Swift-specific constructs such as attributes, modifiers, failable
initializers, and generics.
* Configuration file locking has been updated to retry for a short
period, avoiding failures when multiple processes attempt to update
the configuration simultaneously.
* 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.

* 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.
* The 'trust_executable_bit' (coming from the 'core.filemode'
configuration) has been migrated into 'struct repo_config_values' to
tie it to a specific repository instance.
* The 'excludes_file' and various other global configuration variables
(including 'editor_program', 'pager_program', 'askpass_program', and
'push_default') have been migrated into the per-repository structure.
* The 'git stash push' command has been optimized to avoid unnecessary
sparse index expansion when pathspecs are wholly inside the
sparse-checkout cone. Also, a potential out-of-bounds read in the
sparse-index expansion check helper pathspec_needs_expanded_index()
has been fixed by consistently using the parsed, prefixed path.
* 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.

properly initializes the context before cloning, and its 'Drop'

* The object ID shortening and linking in the 'commitdiff' view of
'gitweb' has been corrected to work even when the index line carries
a trailing file mode.
