--------------------------------------------------
We are at -rc2 now. A few more topics are now in 'next' but it is
not a big deal anyway, as they are not about any regression fixes
and will not go anywhere during the prerelease freeze.
Possibly a few more last-minute fixes may want to be on 'master'
before the final:
- ab/checkout-branch-info-leakfix is to stop "git checkout -f
<ref>" from triggering BUG() when <ref> is a symbolic ref that
points at a strange place.
- en/merge-ort-restart-optim-fix is to avoid triggering assertion
failure when merge.renameLimit is set to a value that is too low.
- js/test-unset-trace2-parents is to help those developers who run
"make test" inside a git that is being traced via GIT_TRACE2
mechanism.
- ab/auto-detect-zlib-compress2 is to automate use of replacement
uncompress2() implementation on platforms with zlib that is too
old.
- pb/pull-rebase-autostash-fix is to fix the remaining case where
"git pull --rebase" that reused the merge machinery when the
update can be fast-forwarded did not behave well.
but we can probably do without many of them in the worst case.
Here are the topics that have been cooking in my tree. Commits

- checkout: avoid BUG() when hitting a broken repository
FreeBSD 13.0 headers have unconditional dependency on C11 language
features, and adding -std=gnu99 to DEVELOPER_CFLAGS would just
break the developer build.
source: <xmqq1r15szpg.fsf_-_@gitster.g>
We added an unrelated sanity checking that leads to a BUG() while
plugging a leak, which triggered in a repository with symrefs in
the local branch namespace that point at a ref outside. Partially
revert the change to avoid triggering the BUG().

. http-backend: give a hint that web browser access is not supported
When the http-backend program, which is the server-side component
for the smart HTTP transport, sends a "404 Not found" error, we
deliberately did not say anything to the requesting client. We now
send a message back to the browser to tell the user that they do
not want to visit the URL via their browser, instead of a totally
blank page.
Expecting a reroll.
