The latest feature release Git v2.26.0 is now available at the usual
places.  It is comprised of 504 non-merge commits since v2.25.0,
contributed by 64 people, 12 of which are new faces.

We had t0301 fail again. This is run entirely within bash as we gave up on ksh.
I need some advice on what to do here. It does look like this is actually in git
rather than the tests, based on below.

What is really strange is that the subtests are transiently failing and not the
same test each time. I cannot get any consistency during test runs. I also do
not see anything in the differences that might account for this, unless
somehow the unicode length. I did revert and retried the test, which also
resulted in transient failures. It all works fine when I use -x, so I can't shed
light on it from there. An example of the failure is:
