* The API to manipulate the "refs" is currently undergoing a revamp
to make it more transactional, with the eventual goal to allow
all-or-none atomic updates and migrating the storage to something
other than the traditional filesystem based one (e.g. databases).
* We no longer attempt to keep track of individual dependencies to
the header files in the build procedure, relying on automated
dependency generation support from modern compilers.
* In tests, we have been using NOT_{MINGW,CYGWIN} test prerequisites
long before negated prerequisites e.g. !MINGW were invented.
The former has been converted to the latter to avoid confusion.

have been converted to use this subsystem.
* Various code paths have been cleaned up and simplified by using
"strbuf", "starts_with()", and "skip_prefix()" APIs more.
* A few codepaths that died when large blobs that would not fit in
core are involved in their operation have been taught to punt
instead, by e.g. marking too large a blob as not to be diffed.
* A few more code paths in "commit" and "checkout" have been taught
to repopulate the cache-tree in the index, to help speed up later

"status").
