This should probably be 'A new option "--rfc" was introduced as a
short-hand for…' or similar.

 * When given an abbreviated object name that is not (or more
   realistically, "no longer") unique, we gave a fatal error
   "ambiguous argument".  This error is now accompanied by hints that
   lists the objects that begins with the given prefix.  During the
   course of development of this new feature, numerous minor bugs were
   uncovered and corrected, the most notable one of which is that we
   gave "short SHA1 xxxx is ambiguous." twice without good reason.

I think "This error is now accompanied by a hint that lists the
objects beginning with the given prefix." would be grammatically
more correct.

 * "git diff -W" output needs to extend the context backward to

   include the body of the entire current function up to the header

This should probably be "_two_ adjacent hunks".

 * In a worktree connected to a repository elsewhere, created via "git

   by refusing to check out a branch that is already checked out in
   another worktree.  However, this also prevented checking out a
   branch, which is designated as the primary branch of a bare
   reopsitory, in a worktree that is connected to the bare

There's a typo here in "reopsitory".
