celebrate year-end and new year, unless a bad regression is found

+ pack-redundant: fix crash when one packfile in repo
"git worktree repair" learned to take advantage of the fact that it
knows both ends (i.e. the main repository is found in the location
the command runs, the worktrees are given as arguments) to deal
with the case where both the repository and the worktree moved.

that the value read from an environment variable can contain an
equal sign when using the "git --config-env var=env" feature.
We may want to make this just a middle part of the
