We ended up scrapping the index-pack patch, in favor of just using the existing --strict check. So the correct statement is more like '...will be rejected by "git index-pack --strict"'. But that is not a new behavior in v1.8.5. :)

We did fix bugs in GIT_USE_LOOKUP related to duplicates in commit 171bdac. That may not be exciting enough to mention in the release notes, though, as the code is not even used by default.
