An early preview release Git v2.21.0-rc0 is now available for
testing at the usual places.  It is comprised of 426 non-merge
commits since v2.20.0, contributed by 57 people, 13 of which are
new faces.

As seen on https://gitlab.com/git-vcs/git-ci/branches there are
regressions since 2.19.0, e.g. we have hard compile errors on BSD now,
and maybe AIX. I haven't dug into it.

The build problem on BSD is known and being worked on [1]. I was going
to install FreeBSD to examine it closey, but got distracted.

The AIX problem is from d1dd94b308 (Do not print 'dangling' for
cat-file in case of ambiguity - 2019-01-17). Apparently AIX compiler
is a bit picky about enum being a strong or weak type. I like this
compiler. The below patch should do.

Thanks.

If I find time later in the day, I may forge your sign-off and
fabricate log messages for both patches, but unfortunately I need to
run a long errand today during the day, so it may not happen.
