+   simplified by using strset.

 Fixes since v2.35
 -----------------
 
  * "rebase" and "stash" in secondary worktrees are broken in
    Git 2.35.0, which has been corrected.
-   (merge ff5b7913f0 en/keep-cwd later to maint).
+
+ * "git pull --rebase" ignored the rebase.autostash configuration
+   variable when the remote history is a descendant of our history,
+   which has been corrected.
+   (merge 3013d98d7a pb/pull-rebase-autostash-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git update-index --refresh" has been taught to deal better with
+   racy timestamps (just like "git status" already does).
