+Git 2.15 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Backward compatibility notes and other notable changes.
+
+ * Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for
+   'everything matches' is still warned and Git asks users to use a
+   more explicit '.' for that instead.  The hope is that existing
+   users will not mind this change, and eventually the warning can be
+   turned into a hard error, upgrading the deprecation into removal of
+   this (mis)feature.  That is now scheduled to happen in Git v2.16,
+   the next major release after this one.
+
+ * Git now avoids blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup
+   sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository.  A corner case that
+   happens to work right now may be broken by a call to BUG().
+   We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there
+   might still be cases that need to be addressed--bug reports are
+   greatly appreciated.
+
+ * "branch --set-upstream" that has been deprecated in Git 1.8 has
+   finally been retired.
+
+
+Updates since v2.14
+-------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * An example that is now obsolete has been removed from a sample hook,
+   and an old example in it that added a sign-off manually has been
+   improved to use the interpret-trailers command.
+
+ * The advice message given when "git rebase" stops for conflicting
+   changes has been improved.
+
+ * The "rerere-train" script (in contrib/) learned the "--overwrite"
+   option to allow overwriting existing recorded resolutions.
+
+ * "git contacts" (in contrib/) now lists the address on the
+   "Reported-by:" trailer to its output, in addition to those on
+   S-o-b: and other trailers, to make it easier to notify (and thank)
+   the original bug reporter.
+
+ * "git rebase", especially when it is run by mistake and ends up
+   trying to replay many changes, spent long time in silence.  The
+   command has been taught to show progress report when it spends
+   long time preparing these many changes to replay (which would give
+   the user a chance to abort with ^C).
+
+ * "git merge" learned a "--signoff" option to add the Signed-off-by:
+   trailer with the committer's name.
+
+ * "git diff" learned to optionally paint new lines that are the same
+   as deleted lines elsewhere differently from genuinely new lines.
+
+ * "git interpret-trailers" learned to take the trailer specifications
+   from the command line that overrides the configured values.
+
+ * "git interpret-trailers" has been taught a "--parse" and a few
+   other options to make it easier for scripts to grab existing
+   trailer lines from a commit log message.
+
+ * The "--format=%(trailers)" option "git log" and its friends take
+   learned to take the 'unfold' and 'only' modifiers to normalize its
+   output, e.g. "git log --format=%(trailers:only,unfold)".
+
+ * "gitweb" shows a link to visit the 'raw' contents of blobs in the
+   history overview page.
+
+ * "[gc] rerereResolved = 5.days" used to be invalid, as the variable
+   is defined to take an integer counting the number of days.  It now
+   is allowed.
+
+ * The code to acquire a lock on a reference (e.g. while accepting a
+   push from a client) used to immediately fail when the reference is
+   already locked---now it waits for a very short while and retries,
+   which can make it succeed if the lock holder was holding it during
+   a read-only operation.
+
+ * "branch --set-upstream" that has been deprecated in Git 1.8 has
+   finally been retired.
+
+ * The codepath to call external process filter for smudge/clean
+   operation learned to show the progress meter.
+
+ * "git rev-parse" learned "--is-shallow-repository", that is to be
+   used in a way similar to existing "--is-bare-repository" and
+   friends.
+
+ * "git describe --match <pattern>" has been taught to play well with
+   the "--all" option.
+
+ * "git branch" learned "-c/-C" to create a new branch by copying an
+   existing one.
+
+ * Some commands (most notably "git status") makes an opportunistic
+   update when performing a read-only operation to help optimize later
+   operations in the same repository.  The new "--no-optional-locks"
+   option can be passed to Git to disable them.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref --format=..." learned a new format element,
+   %(trailers), to show only the commit log trailer part of the log
+   message.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues.
+
+ * Start using selected c99 constructs in small, stable and
+   essential part of the system to catch people who care about
+   older compilers that do not grok them.
+
+ * The filter-process interface learned to allow a process with long
+   latency give a "delayed" response.
+
+ * Many uses of comparison callback function the hashmap API uses
+   cast the callback function type when registering it to
+   hashmap_init(), which defeats the compile time type checking when
+   the callback interface changes (e.g. gaining more parameters).
+   The callback implementations have been updated to take "void *"
+   pointers and cast them to the type they expect instead.
+
+ * Because recent Git for Windows do come with a real msgfmt, the
+   build procedure for git-gui has been updated to use it instead of a
+   hand-rolled substitute.
+
+ * "git grep --recurse-submodules" has been reworked to give a more
+   consistent output across submodule boundary (and do its thing
+   without having to fork a separate process).
+
+ * A helper function to read a single whole line into strbuf
+   mistakenly triggered OOM error at EOF under certain conditions,
+   which has been fixed.
+
+ * The "ref-store" code reorganization continues.
+
+ * "git commit" used to discard the index and re-read from the filesystem
+   just in case the pre-commit hook has updated it in the middle; this
+   has been optimized out when we know we do not run the pre-commit hook.
+   (merge 680ee550d7 kw/commit-keep-index-when-pre-commit-is-not-run later to maint).
+
+ * Updates to the HTTP layer we made recently unconditionally used
+   features of libCurl without checking the existence of them, causing
+   compilation errors, which has been fixed.  Also migrate the code to
+   check feature macros, not version numbers, to cope better with
+   libCurl that vendor ships with backported features.
+
+ * The API to start showing progress meter after a short delay has
+   been simplified.
+   (merge 8aade107dd jc/simplify-progress later to maint).
+
+ * Code clean-up to avoid mixing values read from the .gitmodules file
+   and values read from the .git/config file.
+
+ * We used to spend more than necessary cycles allocating and freeing
+   piece of memory while writing each index entry out.  This has been
+   optimized.
+
+ * Platforms that ship with a separate sha1 with collision detection
+   library can link to it instead of using the copy we ship as part of
+   our source tree.
+
+ * Code around "notes" have been cleaned up.
+   (merge 3964281524 mh/notes-cleanup later to maint).
+
+ * The long-standing rule that an in-core lockfile instance, once it
+   is used, must not be freed, has been lifted and the lockfile and
+   tempfile APIs have been updated to reduce the chance of programming
+   errors.
+
+ * Our hashmap implementation in hashmap.[ch] is not thread-safe when
+   adding a new item needs to expand the hashtable by rehashing; add
+   an API to disable the automatic rehashing to work it around.
+
+ * Many of our programs consider that it is OK to release dynamic
+   storage that is used throughout the life of the program by simply
+   exiting, but this makes it harder to leak detection tools to avoid
+   reporting false positives.  Plug many existing leaks and introduce
+   a mechanism for developers to mark that the region of memory
+   pointed by a pointer is not lost/leaking to help these tools.
+
+ * As "git commit" to conclude a conflicted "git merge" honors the
+   commit-msg hook, "git merge" that records a merge commit that
+   cleanly auto-merges should, but it didn't.
+
+ * The codepath for "git merge-recursive" has been cleaned up.
+
+ * Many leaks of strbuf have been fixed.
+
+ * "git imap-send" has our own implementation of the protocol and also
+   can use more recent libCurl with the imap protocol support.  Update
+   the latter so that it can use the credential subsystem, and then
+   make it the default option to use, so that we can eventually
+   deprecate and remove the former.
+
+ * "make style" runs git-clang-format to help developers by pointing
+   out coding style issues.
+
+ * A test to demonstrate "git mv" failing to adjust nested submodules
+   has been added.
+   (merge c514167df2 hv/mv-nested-submodules-test later to maint).
+
+ * On Cygwin, "ulimit -s" does not report failure but it does not work
+   at all, which causes an unexpected success of some tests that
+   expect failures under a limited stack situation.  This has been
+   fixed.
+
+ * Many codepaths have been updated to squelch -Wimplicit-fallthrough
+   warnings from Gcc 7 (which is a good code hygiene).
+
+ * Add a helper for DLL loading in anticipation for its need in a
+   future topic RSN.
+
+ * "git status --ignored", when noticing that a directory without any
+   tracked path is ignored, still enumerated all the ignored paths in
+   the directory, which is unnecessary.  The codepath has been
+   optimized to avoid this overhead.
+
+ * The final batch to "git rebase -i" updates to move more code from
+   the shell script to C has been merged.
+
+ * Operations that do not touch (majority of) packed refs have been
+   optimized by making accesses to packed-refs file lazy; we no longer
+   pre-parse everything, and an access to a single ref in the
+   packed-refs does not touch majority of irrelevant refs, either.
+
+ * Add comment to clarify that the style file is meant to be used with
+   clang-5 and the rules are still work in progress.
+
+ * Many variables that points at a region of memory that will live
+   throughout the life of the program have been marked with UNLEAK
+   marker to help the leak checkers concentrate on real leaks..
+
+ * Plans for weaning us off of SHA-1 has been documented.
+
+ * A new "oidmap" API has been introduced and oidset API has been
+   rewritten to use it.
+
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.14
+-----------------
+
+ * "%C(color name)" in the pretty print format always produced ANSI
+   color escape codes, which was an early design mistake.  They now
+   honor the configuration (e.g. "color.ui = never") and also tty-ness
+   of the output medium.
+
+ * The http.{sslkey,sslCert} configuration variables are to be
+   interpreted as a pathname that honors "~[username]/" prefix, but
+   weren't, which has been fixed.
+
+ * Numerous bugs in walking of reflogs via "log -g" and friends have
+   been fixed.
+
+ * "git commit" when seeing an totally empty message said "you did not
+   edit the message", which is clearly wrong.  The message has been
+   corrected.
+
+ * When a directory is not readable, "gitweb" fails to build the
+   project list.  Work this around by skipping such a directory.
+
+ * Some versions of GnuPG fails to kill gpg-agent it auto-spawned
+   and such a left-over agent can interfere with a test.  Work it
+   around by attempting to kill one before starting a new test.
+
+ * A recently added test for the "credential-cache" helper revealed
+   that EOF detection done around the time the connection to the cache
+   daemon is torn down were flaky.  This was fixed by reacting to
+   ECONNRESET and behaving as if we got an EOF.
+
+ * "git log --tag=no-such-tag" showed log starting from HEAD, which
+   has been fixed---it now shows nothing.
+
+ * The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who
+   actually create tag objects, as it interfered with the use of an
+   editor.  A new mechanism has been introduced for commands to enable
+   pager depending on what operation is being carried out to fix this,
+   and then "git tag -l" is made to run pager by default.
+
+ * "git push --recurse-submodules $there HEAD:$target" was not
+   propagated down to the submodules, but now it is.
+
+ * Commands like "git rebase" accepted the --rerere-autoupdate option
+   from the command line, but did not always use it.  This has been
+   fixed.
+
+ * "git clone --recurse-submodules --quiet" did not pass the quiet
+   option down to submodules.
+
+ * Test portability fix for OBSD.
+
+ * Portability fix for OBSD.
+
+ * "git am -s" has been taught that some input may end with a trailer
+   block that is not Signed-off-by: and it should refrain from adding
+   an extra blank line before adding a new sign-off in such a case.
+
+ * "git svn" used with "--localtime" option did not compute the tz
+   offset for the timestamp in question and instead always used the
+   current time, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Memory leak in an error codepath has been plugged.
+
+ * "git stash -u" used the contents of the committed version of the
+   ".gitignore" file to decide which paths are ignored, even when the
+   file has local changes.  The command has been taught to instead use
+   the locally modified contents.
+
+ * bash 4.4 or newer gave a warning on NUL byte in command
+   substitution done in "git stash"; this has been squelched.
+
+ * "git grep -L" and "git grep --quiet -L" reported different exit
+   codes; this has been corrected.
+
+ * When handshake with a subprocess filter notices that the process
+   asked for an unknown capability, Git did not report what program
+   the offending subprocess was running.  This has been corrected.
+
+ * "git apply" that is used as a better "patch -p1" failed to apply a
+   taken from a file with CRLF line endings to a file with CRLF line
+   endings.  The root cause was because it misused convert_to_git()
+   that tried to do "safe-crlf" processing by looking at the index
+   entry at the same path, which is a nonsense---in that mode, "apply"
+   is not working on the data in (or derived from) the index at all.
+   This has been fixed.
+
+ * Killing "git merge --edit" before the editor returns control left
+   the repository in a state with MERGE_MSG but without MERGE_HEAD,
+   which incorrectly tells the subsequent "git commit" that there was
+   a squash merge in progress.  This has been fixed.
+
+ * "git archive" did not work well with pathspecs and the
+   export-ignore attribute.
+
+ * In addition to "cc: <a@dd.re.ss> # cruft", "cc: a@dd.re.ss # cruft"
+   was taught to "git send-email" as a valid way to tell it that it
+   needs to also send a carbon copy to <a@dd.re.ss> in the trailer
+   section.
+
+ * "git branch -M a b" while on a branch that is completely unrelated
+   to either branch a or branch b misbehaved when multiple worktree
+   was in use.  This has been fixed.
+   (merge 31824d180d nd/worktree-kill-parse-ref later to maint).
+
+ * "git gc" and friends when multiple worktrees are used off of a
+   single repository did not consider the index and per-worktree refs
+   of other worktrees as the root for reachability traversal, making
+   objects that are in use only in other worktrees to be subject to
+   garbage collection.
+
+ * A regression to "gitk --bisect" by a recent update has been fixed.
+
+ * "git -c submodule.recurse=yes pull" did not work as if the
+   "--recurse-submodules" option was given from the command line.
+   This has been corrected.
+
+ * Unlike "git commit-tree < file", "git commit-tree -F file" did not
+   pass the contents of the file verbatim and instead completed an
+   incomplete line at the end, if exists.  The latter has been updated
+   to match the behaviour of the former.
+
+ * Many codepaths did not diagnose write failures correctly when disks
+   go full, due to their misuse of write_in_full() helper function,
+   which have been corrected.
+   (merge f48ecd38cb jk/write-in-full-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git help co" now says "co is aliased to ...", not "git co is".
+   (merge b3a8076e0d ks/help-alias-label later to maint).
+
+ * "git archive", especially when used with pathspec, stored an empty
+   directory in its output, even though Git itself never does so.
+   This has been fixed.
+
+ * API error-proofing which happens to also squelch warnings from GCC.
+
+ * The explanation of the cut-line in the commit log editor has been
+   slightly tweaked.
+   (merge 8c4b1a3593 ks/commit-do-not-touch-cut-line later to maint).
+
+ * "git gc" tries to avoid running two instances at the same time by
+   reading and writing pid/host from and to a lock file; it used to
+   use an incorrect fscanf() format when reading, which has been
+   corrected.
+
+ * The scripts to drive TravisCI has been reorganized and then an
+   optimization to avoid spending cycles on a branch whose tip is
+   tagged has been implemented.
+   (merge 8376eb4a8f ls/travis-scriptify later to maint).
+
+ * The test linter has been taught that we do not like "echo -e".
+
+ * Code cmp.std.c nitpick.
+
+ * A regression fix for 2.11 that made the code to read the list of
+   alternate object stores overrun the end of the string.
+   (merge f0f7bebef7 jk/info-alternates-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git describe --match" learned to take multiple patterns in v2.13
+   series, but the feature ignored the patterns after the first one
+   and did not work at all.  This has been fixed.
+
+ * "git filter-branch" cannot reproduce a history with a tag without
+   the tagger field, which only ancient versions of Git allowed to be
+   created.  This has been corrected.
+   (merge b2c1ca6b4b ic/fix-filter-branch-to-handle-tag-without-tagger later to maint).
+
+ * "git cat-file --textconv" started segfaulting recently, which
+   has been corrected.
+
+ * The built-in pattern to detect the "function header" for HTML did
+   not match <H1>..<H6> elements without any attributes, which has
+   been fixed.
+
+ * "git mailinfo" was loose in decoding quoted printable and produced
+   garbage when the two letters after the equal sign are not
+   hexadecimal.  This has been fixed.
+
+ * The machinery to create xdelta used in pack files received the
+   sizes of the data in size_t, but lost the higher bits of them by
+   storing them in "unsigned int" during the computation, which is
+   fixed.
+
+ * The delta format used in the packfile cannot reference data at
+   offset larger than what can be expressed in 4-byte, but the
+   generator for the data failed to make sure the offset does not
+   overflow.  This has been corrected.
+
+ * The documentation for '-X<option>' for merges was misleadingly
+   written to suggest that "-s theirs" exists, which is not the case.
+
+ * "git fast-export" with -M/-C option issued "copy" instruction on a
+   path that is simultaneously modified, which was incorrect.
+   (merge b3e8ca89cf jt/fast-export-copy-modify-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Many codepaths have been updated to squelch -Wsign-compare
+   warnings.
+   (merge 071bcaab64 rj/no-sign-compare later to maint).
+
+ * Memory leaks in various codepaths have been plugged.
+   (merge 4d01a7fa65 ma/leakplugs later to maint).
+
+ * Recent versions of "git rev-parse --parseopt" did not parse the
+   option specification that does not have the optional flags (*=?!)
+   correctly, which has been corrected.
+   (merge a6304fa4c2 bc/rev-parse-parseopt-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The checkpoint command "git fast-import" did not flush updates to
+   refs and marks unless at least one object was created since the
+   last checkpoint, which has been corrected, as these things can
+   happen without any new object getting created.
+   (merge 30e215a65c er/fast-import-dump-refs-on-checkpoint later to maint).
+
+ * Spell the name of our system as "Git" in the output from
+   request-pull script.
+
+ * Fixes for a handful memory access issues identified by valgrind.
+
+ * Backports a moral equivalent of 2015 fix to the poll() emulation
+   from the upstream gnulib to fix occasional breakages on HPE NonStop.
+
+ * Users with "color.ui = always" in their configuration were broken
+   by a recent change that made plumbing commands to pay attention to
+   them as the patch created internally by "git add -p" were colored
+   (heh) and made unusable.  This has been fixed by reverting the
+   offending change.
+
+ * In the "--format=..." option of the "git for-each-ref" command (and
+   its friends, i.e. the listing mode of "git branch/tag"), "%(atom:)"
+   (e.g. "%(refname:)", "%(body:)" used to error out.  Instead, treat
+   them as if the colon and an empty string that follows it were not
+   there.
+
+ * An ancient bug that made Git misbehave with creation/renaming of
+   refs has been fixed.
+
+ * "git fetch <there> <src>:<dst>" allows an object name on the <src>
+   side when the other side accepts such a request since Git v2.5, but
+   the documentation was left stale.
+   (merge 83558a412a jc/fetch-refspec-doc-update later to maint).
+
+ * Update the documentation for "git filter-branch" so that the filter
+   options are listed in the same order as they are applied, as
+   described in an earlier part of the doc.
+   (merge 07c4984508 dg/filter-branch-filter-order-doc later to maint).
+
+ * A possible oom error is now caught as a fatal error, instead of
+   continuing and dereferencing NULL.
+   (merge 55d7d15847 ao/path-use-xmalloc later to maint).
+
+ * Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
+   (merge f094b89a4d ma/parse-maybe-bool later to maint).

+Git v2.15.1 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Fixes since v2.15
+-----------------
+
+ * TravisCI build updates.
+
+ * "auto" as a value for the columnar output configuration ought to
+   judge "is the output consumed by humans?" with the same criteria as
+   "auto" for coloured output configuration, i.e. either the standard
+   output stream is going to tty, or a pager is in use.  We forgot the
+   latter, which has been fixed.
+
+ * The experimental "color moved lines differently in diff output"
+   feature was buggy around "ignore whitespace changes" edges, which
+   has been corrected.
+
+ * Instead of using custom line comparison and hashing functions to
+   implement "moved lines" coloring in the diff output, use the pair
+   of these functions from lower-layer xdiff/ code.
+
+ * Some codepaths did not check for errors when asking what branch the
+   HEAD points at, which have been fixed.
+
+ * "git commit", after making a commit, did not check for errors when
+   asking on what branch it made the commit, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git status --ignored -u" did not stop at a working tree of a
+   separate project that is embedded in an ignored directory and
+   listed files in that other project, instead of just showing the
+   directory itself as ignored.
+
+ * A broken access to object databases in recent update to "git grep
+   --recurse-submodules" has been fixed.
+
+ * A recent regression in "git rebase -i" that broke execution of git
+   commands from subdirectories via "exec" instruction has been fixed.
+
+ * "git check-ref-format --branch @{-1}" bit a "BUG()" when run
+   outside a repository for obvious reasons; clarify the documentation
+   and make sure we do not even try to expand the at-mark magic in
+   such a case, but still call the validation logic for branch names.
+
+ * Command line completion (in contrib/) update.
+
+ * Description of blame.{showroot,blankboundary,showemail,date}
+   configuration variables have been added to "git config --help".
+
+ * After an error from lstat(), diff_populate_filespec() function
+   sometimes still went ahead and used invalid data in struct stat,
+   which has been fixed.
+
+ * UNC paths are also relevant in Cygwin builds and they are now
+   tested just like Mingw builds.
+
+ * Correct start-up sequence so that a repository could be placed
+   immediately under the root directory again (which was broken at
+   around Git 2.13).
+
+ * The credential helper for libsecret (in contrib/) has been improved
+   to allow possibly prompting the end user to unlock secrets that are
+   currently locked (otherwise the secrets may not be loaded).
+
+ * Updates from GfW project.
+
+ * "git rebase -i" recently started misbehaving when a submodule that
+   is configured with 'submodule.<name>.ignore' is dirty; this has
+   been corrected.
+
+ * Some error messages did not quote filenames shown in it, which have
+   been fixed.
+
+ * Building with NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT did not disable it, which has been fixed.
+
+ * We used to add an empty alternate object database to the system
+   that does not help anything; it has been corrected.
+
+ * Error checking in "git imap-send" for empty response has been
+   improved.
+
+ * An ancient bug in "git apply --ignore-space-change" codepath has
+   been fixed.
+
+ * There was a recent semantic mismerge in the codepath to write out a
+   section of a configuration section, which has been corrected.
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

+Git v2.15.2 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Fixes since v2.15.1
+-------------------
+
+ * Recent update to the refs infrastructure implementation started
+   rewriting packed-refs file more often than before; this has been
+   optimized again for most trivial cases.
+
+ * The SubmittingPatches document has been converted to produce an
+   HTML version via AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor.
+
+ * Contrary to the documentation, "git pull -4/-6 other-args" did not
+   ask the underlying "git fetch" to go over IPv4/IPv6, which has been
+   corrected.
+
+ * When "git rebase" prepared an mailbox of changes and fed it to "git
+   am" to replay them, it was confused when a stray "From " happened
+   to be in the log message of one of the replayed changes.  This has
+   been corrected.
+
+ * Command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught about the
+   "--copy" option of "git branch".
+
+ * "git apply --inaccurate-eof" when used with "--ignore-space-change"
+   triggered an internal sanity check, which has been fixed.
+
+ * The sequencer machinery (used by "git cherry-pick A..B", and "git
+   rebase -i", among other things) would have lost a commit if stopped
+   due to an unlockable index file, which has been fixed.
+
+ * The three-way merge performed by "git cherry-pick" was confused
+   when a new submodule was added in the meantime, which has been
+   fixed (or "papered over").
+
+ * "git notes" sent its error message to its standard output stream,
+   which was corrected.
+
+ * A few scripts (both in production and tests) incorrectly redirected
+   their error output.  These have been corrected.
+
+ * Clarify and enhance documentation for "merge-base --fork-point", as
+   it was clear what it computed but not why/what for.
+
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

+Git 2.16 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Backward compatibility notes and other notable changes.
+
+ * Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for
+   'everything matches' is now an error.
+
+
+Updates since v2.15
+-------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * An empty string as a pathspec element that means "everything"
+   i.e. 'git add ""', is now illegal.  We started this by first
+   deprecating and warning a pathspec that has such an element in
+   2.11 (Nov 2016).
+
+ * A hook script that is set unexecutable is simply ignored.  Git
+   notifies when such a file is ignored, unless the message is
+   squelched via advice.ignoredHook configuration.
+
+ * "git pull" has been taught to accept "--[no-]signoff" option and
+   pass it down to "git merge".
+
+ * The "--push-option=<string>" option to "git push" now defaults to a
+   list of strings configured via push.pushOption variable.
+
+ * "gitweb" checks if a directory is searchable with Perl's "-x"
+   operator, which can be enhanced by using "filetest 'access'"
+   pragma, which now we do.
+
+ * "git stash save" has been deprecated in favour of "git stash push".
+
+ * The set of paths output from "git status --ignored" was tied
+   closely with its "--untracked=<mode>" option, but now it can be
+   controlled more flexibly.  Most notably, a directory that is
+   ignored because it is listed to be ignored in the ignore/exclude
+   mechanism can be handled differently from a directory that ends up
+   to be ignored only because all files in it are ignored.
+
+ * The remote-helper for talking to MediaWiki has been updated to
+   truncate an overlong pagename so that ".mw" suffix can still be
+   added.
+
+ * The remote-helper for talking to MediaWiki has been updated to
+   work with mediawiki namespaces.
+
+ * The "--format=..." option "git for-each-ref" takes learned to show
+   the name of the 'remote' repository and the ref at the remote side
+   that is affected for 'upstream' and 'push' via "%(push:remotename)"
+   and friends.
+
+ * Doc and message updates to teach users "bisect view" is a synonym
+   for "bisect visualize".
+
+ * "git bisect run" that did not specify any command to run used to go
+   ahead and treated all commits to be tested as 'good'.  This has
+   been corrected by making the command error out.
+
+ * The SubmittingPatches document has been converted to produce an
+   HTML version via AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor.
+
+ * We learned to optionally talk to a file system monitor via new
+   fsmonitor extension to speed up "git status" and other operations
+   that need to see which paths have been modified.  Currently we only
+   support "watchman".  See File System Monitor section of
+   git-update-index(1) for more detail.
+
+ * The "diff" family of commands learned to ignore differences in
+   carriage return at the end of line.
+
+ * Places that know about "sendemail.to", like documentation and shell
+   completion (in contrib/) have been taught about "sendemail.tocmd",
+   too.
+
+ * "git add --renormalize ." is a new and safer way to record the fact
+   that you are correcting the end-of-line convention and other
+   "convert_to_git()" glitches in the in-repository data.
+
+ * "git branch" and "git checkout -b" are now forbidden from creating
+   a branch whose name is "HEAD".
+
+ * "git branch --list" learned to show its output through the pager by
+   default when the output is going to a terminal, which is controlled
+   by the pager.branch configuration variable.  This is similar to a
+   recent change to "git tag --list".
+
+ * "git grep -W", "git diff -W" and their friends learned a heuristic
+   to extend a pre-context beyond the line that matches the "function
+   pattern" (aka "diff.*.xfuncname") to include a comment block, if
+   exists, that immediately precedes it.
+
+ * "git config --expiry-date gc.reflogexpire" can read "2.weeks" from
+   the configuration and report it as a timestamp, just like "--int"
+   would read "1k" and report 1024, to help consumption by scripts.
+
+ * The shell completion (in contrib/) learned that "git pull" can take
+   the "--autostash" option.
+
+ * The tagnames "git log --decorate" uses to annotate the commits can
+   now be limited to subset of available refs with the two additional
+   options, --decorate-refs[-exclude]=<pattern>.
+
+ * "git grep" compiled with libpcre2 sometimes triggered a segfault,
+   which is being fixed.
+
+ * "git send-email" tries to see if the sendmail program is available
+   in /usr/lib and /usr/sbin; extend the list of locations to be
+   checked to also include directories on $PATH.
+
+ * "git diff" learned, "--anchored", a variant of the "--patience"
+   algorithm, to which the user can specify which 'unique' line to be
+   used as anchoring points.
+
+ * The way "git worktree add" determines what branch to create from
+   where and checkout in the new worktree has been updated a bit.
+
+ * Ancient part of codebase still shows dots after an abbreviated
+   object name just to show that it is not a full object name, but
+   these ellipses are confusing to people who newly discovered Git
+   who are used to seeing abbreviated object names and find them
+   confusing with the range syntax.
+
+ * With a configuration variable rebase.abbreviateCommands set,
+   "git rebase -i" produces the todo list with a single-letter
+   command names.
+
+ * "git worktree add" learned to run the post-checkout hook, just like
+   "git checkout" does, after the initial checkout.
+
+ * "git svn" has been updated to strip CRs in the commit messages, as
+   recent versions of Subversion rejects them.
+
+ * "git imap-send" did not correctly quote the folder name when
+   making a request to the server, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Error messages from "git rebase" have been somewhat cleaned up.
+
+ * Git has been taught to support an https:// URL used for http.proxy
+   when using recent versions of libcurl.
+
+ * "git merge" learned to pay attention to merge.verifySignatures
+   configuration variable and pretend as if '--verify-signatures'
+   option was given from the command line.
+
+ * "git describe" was taught to dig trees deeper to find a
+   <commit-ish>:<path> that refers to a given blob object.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * An earlier update made it possible to use an on-stack in-core
+   lockfile structure (as opposed to having to deliberately leak an
+   on-heap one).  Many codepaths have been updated to take advantage
+   of this new facility.
+
+ * Calling cmd_foo() as if it is a general purpose helper function is
+   a no-no.  Correct two instances of such to set an example.
+
+ * We try to see if somebody runs our test suite with a shell that
+   does not support "local" like bash/dash does.
+
+ * An early part of piece-by-piece rewrite of "git bisect" in C.
+
+ * GSoC to piece-by-piece rewrite "git submodule" in C.
+
+ * Optimize the code to find shortest unique prefix of object names.
+
+ * Pathspec-limited revision traversal was taught not to keep finding
+   unneeded differences once it knows two trees are different inside
+   given pathspec.
+
+ * Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues.
+
+ * Code cleanup.
+
+ * A single-word "unsigned flags" in the diff options is being split
+   into a structure with many bitfields.
+
+ * TravisCI build updates.
+
+ * Parts of a test to drive the long-running content filter interface
+   has been split into its own module, hopefully to eventually become
+   reusable.
+
+ * Drop (perhaps overly cautious) sanity check before using the index
+   read from the filesystem at runtime.
+
+ * The build procedure has been taught to avoid some unnecessary
+   instability in the build products.
+
+ * A new mechanism to upgrade the wire protocol in place is proposed
+   and demonstrated that it works with the older versions of Git
+   without harming them.
+
+ * An infrastructure to define what hash function is used in Git is
+   introduced, and an effort to plumb that throughout various
+   codepaths has been started.
+
+ * The code to iterate over loose object files got optimized.
+
+ * An internal function that was left for backward compatibility has
+   been removed, as there is no remaining callers.
+
+ * Historically, the diff machinery for rename detection had a
+   hardcoded limit of 32k paths; this is being lifted to allow users
+   trade cycles with a (possibly) easier to read result.
+
+ * The tracing infrastructure has been optimized for cases where no
+   tracing is requested.
+
+ * In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the object
+   walking machinery has been taught a way to tell it to "filter" some
+   objects from enumeration.
+
+ * A few structures and variables that are implementation details of
+   the decorate API have been renamed and then the API got documented
+   better.
+
+ * Assorted updates for TravisCI integration.
+   (merge 4f26366679 sg/travis-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * Introduce a helper to simplify code to parse a common pattern that
+   expects either "--key" or "--key=<something>".
+
+ * "git version --build-options" learned to report the host CPU and
+   the exact commit object name the binary was built from.
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.15

+

+
+ * "git fetch --recurse-submodules" now knows that submodules can be
+   moved around in the superproject in addition to getting updated,

+ * Correct start-up sequence so that a repository could be placed
+   immediately under the root directory again (which was broken at
+   around Git 2.13).
+
+ * The credential helper for libsecret (in contrib/) has been improved
+   to allow possibly prompting the end user to unlock secrets that are
+   currently locked (otherwise the secrets may not be loaded).

+ * MinGW updates.
+
+ * Error checking in "git imap-send" for empty response has been
+   improved.
+
+ * Recent update to the refs infrastructure implementation started
+   rewriting packed-refs file more often than before; this has been
+   optimized again for most trivial cases.
+
+ * Some error messages did not quote filenames shown in it, which have
+   been fixed.
+
+ * "git rebase -i" recently started misbehaving when a submodule that
+   is configured with 'submodule.<name>.ignore' is dirty; this has
+   been corrected.
+
+ * Building with NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT did not disable it, which has been fixed.
+
+ * We used to add an empty alternate object database to the system
+   that does not help anything; it has been corrected.
+
+ * Doc update around use of "format-patch --subject-prefix" etc.
+
+ * A fix for an ancient bug in "git apply --ignore-space-change" codepath.
+
+ * Clarify and enhance documentation for "merge-base --fork-point", as
+   it was clear what it computed but not why/what for.
+
+ * A few scripts (both in production and tests) incorrectly redirected
+   their error output.  These have been corrected.
+
+ * "git notes" sent its error message to its standard output stream,
+   which was corrected.
+
+ * The three-way merge performed by "git cherry-pick" was confused
+   when a new submodule was added in the meantime, which has been
+   fixed (or "papered over").
+
+ * The sequencer machinery (used by "git cherry-pick A..B", and "git
+   rebase -i", among other things) would have lost a commit if stopped
+   due to an unlockable index file, which has been fixed.
+
+ * "git apply --inaccurate-eof" when used with "--ignore-space-change"
+   triggered an internal sanity check, which has been fixed.
+
+ * Command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught about the
+   "--copy" option of "git branch".
+
+ * When "git rebase" prepared a mailbox of changes and fed it to "git
+   am" to replay them, it was confused when a stray "From " happened
+   to be in the log message of one of the replayed changes.  This has
+   been corrected.
+
+ * There was a recent semantic mismerge in the codepath to write out a
+   section of a configuration section, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Mentions of "git-rebase" and "git-am" (dashed form) still remained
+   in end-user visible strings emitted by the "git rebase" command;
+   they have been corrected.
+
+ * Contrary to the documentation, "git pull -4/-6 other-args" did not
+   ask the underlying "git fetch" to go over IPv4/IPv6, which has been
+   corrected.
+
+ * "git checkout --recursive" may overwrite and rewind the history of
+   the branch that happens to be checked out in submodule
+   repositories, which might not be desirable.  Detach the HEAD but
+   still allow the recursive checkout to succeed in such a case.
+   (merge 57f22bf997 sb/submodule-recursive-checkout-detach-head later to maint).
+
+ * "git branch --set-upstream" has been deprecated and (sort of)
+   removed, as "--set-upstream-to" is the preferred one these days.
+   The documentation still had "--set-upstream" listed on its
+   synopsis section, which has been corrected.
+   (merge a060f3d3d8 tz/branch-doc-remove-set-upstream later to maint).
+
+ * Internally we use 0{40} as a placeholder object name to signal the
+   codepath that there is no such object (e.g. the fast-forward check
+   while "git fetch" stores a new remote-tracking ref says "we know
+   there is no 'old' thing pointed at by the ref, as we are creating
+   it anew" by passing 0{40} for the 'old' side), and expect that a
+   codepath to locate an in-core object to return NULL as a sign that
+   the object does not exist.  A look-up for an object that does not
+   exist however is quite costly with a repository with large number
+   of packfiles.  This access pattern has been optimized.
+   (merge 87b5e236a1 jk/fewer-pack-rescan later to maint).

+ * In addition to "git stash -m message", the command learned to
+   accept "git stash -mmessage" form.
+   (merge 5675473fcb ph/stash-save-m-option-fix later to maint).
+

+   but the documentation was not clear about it, which has been fixed.
+   (merge 75ce149575 ks/doc-checkout-previous later to maint).

+
+ * The code internal to the recursive merge strategy was not fully
+   prepared to see a path that is renamed to try overwriting another
+   path that is only different in case on case insensitive systems.
+   This does not matter in the current code, but will start to matter
+   once the rename detection logic starts taking hints from nearby
+   paths moving to some directory and moves a new path along with them.
+   (merge 4cba2b0108 en/merge-recursive-icase-removal later to maint).

+   (merge eef3df5a93 bw/pathspec-match-submodule-boundary later to maint).
+
+ * Amending commits in git-gui broke the author name that is non-ascii

+
+ * Recent update to the submodule configuration code broke "diff-tree"
+   by accidentally stopping to read from the index upfront.
+   (merge fd66bcc31f bw/submodule-config-cleanup later to maint).
+
+ * Git shows a message to tell the user that it is waiting for the

+   lost.

-when `origin/master` was at B3. This mode uses the reflog of
-`origin/master` to find B3 as the fork point, so that the `topic`
-can be rebased on top of the updated `origin/master` by:
+when `origin/master` was at B0, and you built three commits, D0, D1,
+and D, on top of it.  Imagine that you now want to rebase the work
+you did on the topic on top of the updated origin/master.
+
+In such a case, `git merge-base origin/master topic` would return the
+parent of B0 in the above picture, but B0^..D is *not* the range of
+commits you would want to replay on top of B (it includes B0, which
+is not what you wrote; it is a commit the other side discarded when
+it moved its tip from B0 to B1).
+
+`git merge-base --fork-point origin/master topic` is designed to
+help in such a case.  It takes not only B but also B0, B1, and B2
+(i.e. old tips of the remote-tracking branches your repository's
+reflog knows about) into account to see on which commit your topic
+branch was built and finds B0, allowing you to replay only the
+commits on your topic, excluding the commits the other side later
+discarded.
+
+Hence
 
     $ fork_point=$(git merge-base --fork-point origin/master topic)
+
+will find B0, and
+
     $ git rebase --onto origin/master $fork_point topic
 
+will replay D0, D1 and D on top of B to create a new history of this
+shape:
+
+			 o---B2
+			/
+	---o---o---B1--o---o---o---B (origin/master)
+		\                   \
+		 B0                  D0'--D1'--D' (topic - updated)
+		  \
+		   D0---D1---D (topic - old)
+
+A caveat is that older reflog entries in your repository may be
+expired by `git gc`.  If B0 no longer appears in the reflog of the
+remote-tracking branch `origin/master`, the `--fork-point` mode
+obviously cannot find it and fails, avoiding to give a random and
+useless result (such as the parent of B0, like the same command
+without the `--fork-point` option gives).
+
+Also, the remote-tracking branch you use the `--fork-point` mode
+with must be the one your topic forked from its tip.  If you forked
+from an older commit than the tip, this mode would not find the fork
+point (imagine in the above sample history B0 did not exist,
+origin/master started at B1, moved to B2 and then B, and you forked
+your topic at origin/master^ when origin/master was B1; the shape of
+the history would be the same as above, without B0, and the parent
+of B1 is what `git merge-base origin/master topic` correctly finds,
+but the `--fork-point` mode will not, because it is not one of the
+commits that used to be at the tip of origin/master).

+BACKGROUND REFRESH
+------------------
+
+By default, `git status` will automatically refresh the index, updating
+the cached stat information from the working tree and writing out the
+result. Writing out the updated index is an optimization that isn't
+strictly necessary (`status` computes the values for itself, but writing
+them out is just to save subsequent programs from repeating our
+computation). When `status` is run in the background, the lock held
+during the write may conflict with other simultaneous processes, causing

+using `git --no-optional-locks status` (see linkgit:git[1] for details).

+File System Monitor
+-------------------
+
+This feature is intended to speed up git operations for repos that have
+large working directories.
+
+It enables git to work together with a file system monitor (see the
+"fsmonitor-watchman" section of linkgit:githooks[5]) that can
+inform it as to what files have been modified. This enables git to avoid

+looking for new files.
+

+January 1, 1970.
+
+The hook should output to stdout the list of all files in the working
+directory that may have changed since the requested time.  The logic
+should be inclusive so that it does not miss any potential changes.
+The paths should be relative to the root of the working directory
+and be separated by a single NUL.
+
+It is OK to include files which have not actually changed.  All changes
+including newly-created and deleted files should be included. When
+files are renamed, both the old and the new name should be included.
+
+Git will limit what files it checks for changes as well as which
+directories are checked for untracked files based on the path names
+given.
+
+An optimized way to tell git "all files have changed" is to return
+the filename '/'.
+
+The exit status determines whether git will use the data from the
+hook to limit its search.  On error, it will fall back to verifying
+all files and folders.

-string-list API
-===============
-
-The string_list API offers a data structure and functions to handle
-sorted and unsorted string lists.  A "sorted" list is one whose
-entries are sorted by string value in `strcmp()` order.
-
-The 'string_list' struct used to be called 'path_list', but was renamed
-because it is not specific to paths.
-
-The caller:
-
-. Allocates and clears a `struct string_list` variable.
-
-. Initializes the members. You might want to set the flag `strdup_strings`
-  if the strings should be strdup()ed. For example, this is necessary
-  when you add something like git_path("..."), since that function returns
-  a static buffer that will change with the next call to git_path().
-+
-If you need something advanced, you can manually malloc() the `items`
-member (you need this if you add things later) and you should set the
-`nr` and `alloc` members in that case, too.
-
-. Adds new items to the list, using `string_list_append`,
-  `string_list_append_nodup`, `string_list_insert`,
-  `string_list_split`, and/or `string_list_split_in_place`.
-
-. Can check if a string is in the list using `string_list_has_string` or
-  `unsorted_string_list_has_string` and get it from the list using
-  `string_list_lookup` for sorted lists.
-
-. Can sort an unsorted list using `string_list_sort`.
-
-. Can remove duplicate items from a sorted list using
-  `string_list_remove_duplicates`.
-
-. Can remove individual items of an unsorted list using
-  `unsorted_string_list_delete_item`.
-
-. Can remove items not matching a criterion from a sorted or unsorted
-  list using `filter_string_list`, or remove empty strings using
-  `string_list_remove_empty_items`.
-
-. Finally it should free the list using `string_list_clear`.
-
-Example:
-
-----
-struct string_list list = STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP;
-int i;
-
-string_list_append(&list, "foo");
-string_list_append(&list, "bar");
-for (i = 0; i < list.nr; i++)
-	printf("%s\n", list.items[i].string)
-----
-
-NOTE: It is more efficient to build an unsorted list and sort it
-afterwards, instead of building a sorted list (`O(n log n)` instead of
-`O(n^2)`).
-+
-However, if you use the list to check if a certain string was added
-already, you should not do that (using unsorted_string_list_has_string()),
-because the complexity would be quadratic again (but with a worse factor).
-
-Functions
----------
-
-* General ones (works with sorted and unsorted lists as well)
-
-`string_list_init`::
-
-	Initialize the members of the string_list, set `strdup_strings`
-	member according to the value of the second parameter.
-
-`filter_string_list`::
-
-	Apply a function to each item in a list, retaining only the
-	items for which the function returns true.  If free_util is
-	true, call free() on the util members of any items that have
-	to be deleted.  Preserve the order of the items that are
-	retained.
-
-`string_list_remove_empty_items`::
-
-	Remove any empty strings from the list.  If free_util is true,
-	call free() on the util members of any items that have to be
-	deleted.  Preserve the order of the items that are retained.
-
-`print_string_list`::
-
-	Dump a string_list to stdout, useful mainly for debugging purposes. It
-	can take an optional header argument and it writes out the
-	string-pointer pairs of the string_list, each one in its own line.
-
-`string_list_clear`::
-
-	Free a string_list. The `string` pointer of the items will be freed in
-	case the `strdup_strings` member of the string_list is set. The second
-	parameter controls if the `util` pointer of the items should be freed
-	or not.
-
-* Functions for sorted lists only
-
-`string_list_has_string`::
-
-	Determine if the string_list has a given string or not.
-
-`string_list_insert`::
-
-	Insert a new element to the string_list. The returned pointer can be
-	handy if you want to write something to the `util` pointer of the
-	string_list_item containing the just added string. If the given
-	string already exists the insertion will be skipped and the
-	pointer to the existing item returned.
-+
-Since this function uses xrealloc() (which die()s if it fails) if the
-list needs to grow, it is safe not to check the pointer. I.e. you may
-write `string_list_insert(...)->util = ...;`.
-
-`string_list_lookup`::
-
-	Look up a given string in the string_list, returning the containing
-	string_list_item. If the string is not found, NULL is returned.
-
-`string_list_remove_duplicates`::
-
-	Remove all but the first of consecutive entries that have the
-	same string value.  If free_util is true, call free() on the
-	util members of any items that have to be deleted.
-
-* Functions for unsorted lists only
-
-`string_list_append`::
-
-	Append a new string to the end of the string_list.  If
-	`strdup_string` is set, then the string argument is copied;
-	otherwise the new `string_list_entry` refers to the input
-	string.
-
-`string_list_append_nodup`::
-
-	Append a new string to the end of the string_list.  The new
-	`string_list_entry` always refers to the input string, even if
-	`strdup_string` is set.  This function can be used to hand
-	ownership of a malloc()ed string to a `string_list` that has
-	`strdup_string` set.
-
-`string_list_sort`::
-
-	Sort the list's entries by string value in `strcmp()` order.
-
-`unsorted_string_list_has_string`::
-
-	It's like `string_list_has_string()` but for unsorted lists.
-
-`unsorted_string_list_lookup`::
-
-	It's like `string_list_lookup()` but for unsorted lists.
-+
-The above two functions need to look through all items, as opposed to their
-counterpart for sorted lists, which performs a binary search.
-
-`unsorted_string_list_delete_item`::
-
-	Remove an item from a string_list. The `string` pointer of the items
-	will be freed in case the `strdup_strings` member of the string_list
-	is set. The third parameter controls if the `util` pointer of the
-	items should be freed or not.
-
-`string_list_split`::
-`string_list_split_in_place`::
-
-	Split a string into substrings on a delimiter character and
-	append the substrings to a `string_list`.  If `maxsplit` is
-	non-negative, then split at most `maxsplit` times.  Return the
-	number of substrings appended to the list.
-+
-`string_list_split` requires a `string_list` that has `strdup_strings`
-set to true; it leaves the input string untouched and makes copies of
-the substrings in newly-allocated memory.
-`string_list_split_in_place` requires a `string_list` that has
-`strdup_strings` set to false; it splits the input string in place,
-overwriting the delimiter characters with NULs and creating new
-string_list_items that point into the original string (the original
-string must therefore not be modified or freed while the `string_list`
-is in use).
-
-
-Data structures
----------------
-
-* `struct string_list_item`
-
-Represents an item of the list. The `string` member is a pointer to the
-string, and you may use the `util` member for any purpose, if you want.
-
-* `struct string_list`
-
-Represents the list itself.
-
-. The array of items are available via the `items` member.
-. The `nr` member contains the number of items stored in the list.
-. The `alloc` member is used to avoid reallocating at every insertion.
-  You should not tamper with it.
-. Setting the `strdup_strings` member to 1 will strdup() the strings
-  before adding them, see above.
-. The `compare_strings_fn` member is used to specify a custom compare
-  function, otherwise `strcmp()` is used as the default function.

+Git hash function transition
+============================
+
+Objective
+---------
+Migrate Git from SHA-1 to a stronger hash function.
+
+Background
+----------
+At its core, the Git version control system is a content addressable
+filesystem. It uses the SHA-1 hash function to name content. For
+example, files, directories, and revisions are referred to by hash
+values unlike in other traditional version control systems where files
+or versions are referred to via sequential numbers. The use of a hash
+function to address its content delivers a few advantages:
+
+* Integrity checking is easy. Bit flips, for example, are easily
+  detected, as the hash of corrupted content does not match its name.
+* Lookup of objects is fast.
+
+Using a cryptographically secure hash function brings additional
+advantages:
+
+* Object names can be signed and third parties can trust the hash to
+  address the signed object and all objects it references.
+* Communication using Git protocol and out of band communication
+  methods have a short reliable string that can be used to reliably
+  address stored content.
+
+Over time some flaws in SHA-1 have been discovered by security
+researchers. https://shattered.io demonstrated a practical SHA-1 hash
+collision. As a result, SHA-1 cannot be considered cryptographically
+secure any more. This impacts the communication of hash values because
+we cannot trust that a given hash value represents the known good
+version of content that the speaker intended.
+
+SHA-1 still possesses the other properties such as fast object lookup
+and safe error checking, but other hash functions are equally suitable
+that are believed to be cryptographically secure.
+
+Goals
+-----
+Where NewHash is a strong 256-bit hash function to replace SHA-1 (see
+"Selection of a New Hash", below):
+
+1. The transition to NewHash can be done one local repository at a time.
+   a. Requiring no action by any other party.
+   b. A NewHash repository can communicate with SHA-1 Git servers
+      (push/fetch).
+   c. Users can use SHA-1 and NewHash identifiers for objects
+      interchangeably (see "Object names on the command line", below).
+   d. New signed objects make use of a stronger hash function than
+      SHA-1 for their security guarantees.
+2. Allow a complete transition away from SHA-1.
+   a. Local metadata for SHA-1 compatibility can be removed from a
+      repository if compatibility with SHA-1 is no longer needed.
+3. Maintainability throughout the process.
+   a. The object format is kept simple and consistent.
+   b. Creation of a generalized repository conversion tool.
+
+Non-Goals
+---------
+1. Add NewHash support to Git protocol. This is valuable and the
+   logical next step but it is out of scope for this initial design.
+2. Transparently improving the security of existing SHA-1 signed
+   objects.
+3. Intermixing objects using multiple hash functions in a single
+   repository.
+4. Taking the opportunity to fix other bugs in Git's formats and
+   protocols.
+5. Shallow clones and fetches into a NewHash repository. (This will
+   change when we add NewHash support to Git protocol.)
+6. Skip fetching some submodules of a project into a NewHash
+   repository. (This also depends on NewHash support in Git
+   protocol.)
+
+Overview
+--------
+We introduce a new repository format extension. Repositories with this
+extension enabled use NewHash instead of SHA-1 to name their objects.
+This affects both object names and object content --- both the names
+of objects and all references to other objects within an object are
+switched to the new hash function.
+
+NewHash repositories cannot be read by older versions of Git.
+
+Alongside the packfile, a NewHash repository stores a bidirectional
+mapping between NewHash and SHA-1 object names. The mapping is generated
+locally and can be verified using "git fsck". Object lookups use this
+mapping to allow naming objects using either their SHA-1 and NewHash names
+interchangeably.
+
+"git cat-file" and "git hash-object" gain options to display an object
+in its sha1 form and write an object given its sha1 form. This
+requires all objects referenced by that object to be present in the
+object database so that they can be named using the appropriate name
+(using the bidirectional hash mapping).
+
+Fetches from a SHA-1 based server convert the fetched objects into
+NewHash form and record the mapping in the bidirectional mapping table
+(see below for details). Pushes to a SHA-1 based server convert the
+objects being pushed into sha1 form so the server does not have to be
+aware of the hash function the client is using.
+
+Detailed Design
+---------------
+Repository format extension
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A NewHash repository uses repository format version `1` (see
+Documentation/technical/repository-version.txt) with extensions
+`objectFormat` and `compatObjectFormat`:
+
+	[core]
+		repositoryFormatVersion = 1
+	[extensions]
+		objectFormat = newhash
+		compatObjectFormat = sha1
+
+Specifying a repository format extension ensures that versions of Git
+not aware of NewHash do not try to operate on these repositories,
+instead producing an error message:
+
+	$ git status
+	fatal: unknown repository extensions found:
+		objectformat
+		compatobjectformat
+
+See the "Transition plan" section below for more details on these
+repository extensions.
+
+Object names
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Objects can be named by their 40 hexadecimal digit sha1-name or 64
+hexadecimal digit newhash-name, plus names derived from those (see
+gitrevisions(7)).
+
+The sha1-name of an object is the SHA-1 of the concatenation of its
+type, length, a nul byte, and the object's sha1-content. This is the
+traditional <sha1> used in Git to name objects.
+
+The newhash-name of an object is the NewHash of the concatenation of its
+type, length, a nul byte, and the object's newhash-content.
+
+Object format
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The content as a byte sequence of a tag, commit, or tree object named
+by sha1 and newhash differ because an object named by newhash-name refers to
+other objects by their newhash-names and an object named by sha1-name
+refers to other objects by their sha1-names.
+
+The newhash-content of an object is the same as its sha1-content, except
+that objects referenced by the object are named using their newhash-names
+instead of sha1-names. Because a blob object does not refer to any
+other object, its sha1-content and newhash-content are the same.
+
+The format allows round-trip conversion between newhash-content and
+sha1-content.
+
+Object storage
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Loose objects use zlib compression and packed objects use the packed
+format described in Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt, just like
+today. The content that is compressed and stored uses newhash-content
+instead of sha1-content.
+
+Pack index
+~~~~~~~~~~
+Pack index (.idx) files use a new v3 format that supports multiple
+hash functions. They have the following format (all integers are in
+network byte order):
+
+- A header appears at the beginning and consists of the following:
+  - The 4-byte pack index signature: '\377t0c'
+  - 4-byte version number: 3
+  - 4-byte length of the header section, including the signature and
+    version number
+  - 4-byte number of objects contained in the pack
+  - 4-byte number of object formats in this pack index: 2
+  - For each object format:
+    - 4-byte format identifier (e.g., 'sha1' for SHA-1)
+    - 4-byte length in bytes of shortened object names. This is the
+      shortest possible length needed to make names in the shortened
+      object name table unambiguous.
+    - 4-byte integer, recording where tables relating to this format
+      are stored in this index file, as an offset from the beginning.
+  - 4-byte offset to the trailer from the beginning of this file.
+  - Zero or more additional key/value pairs (4-byte key, 4-byte
+    value). Only one key is supported: 'PSRC'. See the "Loose objects
+    and unreachable objects" section for supported values and how this
+    is used.  All other keys are reserved. Readers must ignore
+    unrecognized keys.
+- Zero or more NUL bytes. This can optionally be used to improve the
+  alignment of the full object name table below.
+- Tables for the first object format:
+  - A sorted table of shortened object names.  These are prefixes of
+    the names of all objects in this pack file, packed together
+    without offset values to reduce the cache footprint of the binary
+    search for a specific object name.
+
+  - A table of full object names in pack order. This allows resolving
+    a reference to "the nth object in the pack file" (from a
+    reachability bitmap or from the next table of another object
+    format) to its object name.
+
+  - A table of 4-byte values mapping object name order to pack order.
+    For an object in the table of sorted shortened object names, the
+    value at the corresponding index in this table is the index in the
+    previous table for that same object.
+
+    This can be used to look up the object in reachability bitmaps or
+    to look up its name in another object format.
+
+  - A table of 4-byte CRC32 values of the packed object data, in the
+    order that the objects appear in the pack file. This is to allow
+    compressed data to be copied directly from pack to pack during
+    repacking without undetected data corruption.
+
+  - A table of 4-byte offset values. For an object in the table of
+    sorted shortened object names, the value at the corresponding
+    index in this table indicates where that object can be found in
+    the pack file. These are usually 31-bit pack file offsets, but
+    large offsets are encoded as an index into the next table with the
+    most significant bit set.
+
+  - A table of 8-byte offset entries (empty for pack files less than
+    2 GiB). Pack files are organized with heavily used objects toward
+    the front, so most object references should not need to refer to
+    this table.
+- Zero or more NUL bytes.
+- Tables for the second object format, with the same layout as above,
+  up to and not including the table of CRC32 values.
+- Zero or more NUL bytes.
+- The trailer consists of the following:
+  - A copy of the 20-byte NewHash checksum at the end of the
+    corresponding packfile.
+
+  - 20-byte NewHash checksum of all of the above.
+
+Loose object index
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A new file $GIT_OBJECT_DIR/loose-object-idx contains information about
+all loose objects. Its format is
+
+  # loose-object-idx
+  (newhash-name SP sha1-name LF)*
+
+where the object names are in hexadecimal format. The file is not
+sorted.
+
+The loose object index is protected against concurrent writes by a
+lock file $GIT_OBJECT_DIR/loose-object-idx.lock. To add a new loose
+object:
+
+1. Write the loose object to a temporary file, like today.
+2. Open loose-object-idx.lock with O_CREAT | O_EXCL to acquire the lock.
+3. Rename the loose object into place.
+4. Open loose-object-idx with O_APPEND and write the new object
+5. Unlink loose-object-idx.lock to release the lock.
+
+To remove entries (e.g. in "git pack-refs" or "git-prune"):
+
+1. Open loose-object-idx.lock with O_CREAT | O_EXCL to acquire the
+   lock.
+2. Write the new content to loose-object-idx.lock.
+3. Unlink any loose objects being removed.
+4. Rename to replace loose-object-idx, releasing the lock.
+
+Translation table
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The index files support a bidirectional mapping between sha1-names
+and newhash-names. The lookup proceeds similarly to ordinary object
+lookups. For example, to convert a sha1-name to a newhash-name:
+
+ 1. Look for the object in idx files. If a match is present in the
+    idx's sorted list of truncated sha1-names, then:
+    a. Read the corresponding entry in the sha1-name order to pack
+       name order mapping.
+    b. Read the corresponding entry in the full sha1-name table to
+       verify we found the right object. If it is, then
+    c. Read the corresponding entry in the full newhash-name table.
+       That is the object's newhash-name.
+ 2. Check for a loose object. Read lines from loose-object-idx until
+    we find a match.
+
+Step (1) takes the same amount of time as an ordinary object lookup:
+O(number of packs * log(objects per pack)). Step (2) takes O(number of
+loose objects) time. To maintain good performance it will be necessary
+to keep the number of loose objects low. See the "Loose objects and
+unreachable objects" section below for more details.
+
+Since all operations that make new objects (e.g., "git commit") add
+the new objects to the corresponding index, this mapping is possible
+for all objects in the object store.
+
+Reading an object's sha1-content
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The sha1-content of an object can be read by converting all newhash-names
+its newhash-content references to sha1-names using the translation table.
+
+Fetch
+~~~~~
+Fetching from a SHA-1 based server requires translating between SHA-1
+and NewHash based representations on the fly.
+
+SHA-1s named in the ref advertisement that are present on the client
+can be translated to NewHash and looked up as local objects using the
+translation table.
+
+Negotiation proceeds as today. Any "have"s generated locally are
+converted to SHA-1 before being sent to the server, and SHA-1s
+mentioned by the server are converted to NewHash when looking them up
+locally.
+
+After negotiation, the server sends a packfile containing the
+requested objects. We convert the packfile to NewHash format using
+the following steps:
+
+1. index-pack: inflate each object in the packfile and compute its
+   SHA-1. Objects can contain deltas in OBJ_REF_DELTA format against
+   objects the client has locally. These objects can be looked up
+   using the translation table and their sha1-content read as
+   described above to resolve the deltas.
+2. topological sort: starting at the "want"s from the negotiation
+   phase, walk through objects in the pack and emit a list of them,
+   excluding blobs, in reverse topologically sorted order, with each
+   object coming later in the list than all objects it references.
+   (This list only contains objects reachable from the "wants". If the
+   pack from the server contained additional extraneous objects, then
+   they will be discarded.)
+3. convert to newhash: open a new (newhash) packfile. Read the topologically
+   sorted list just generated. For each object, inflate its
+   sha1-content, convert to newhash-content, and write it to the newhash
+   pack. Record the new sha1<->newhash mapping entry for use in the idx.
+4. sort: reorder entries in the new pack to match the order of objects
+   in the pack the server generated and include blobs. Write a newhash idx
+   file
+5. clean up: remove the SHA-1 based pack file, index, and
+   topologically sorted list obtained from the server in steps 1
+   and 2.
+
+Step 3 requires every object referenced by the new object to be in the
+translation table. This is why the topological sort step is necessary.
+
+As an optimization, step 1 could write a file describing what non-blob
+objects each object it has inflated from the packfile references. This
+makes the topological sort in step 2 possible without inflating the
+objects in the packfile for a second time. The objects need to be
+inflated again in step 3, for a total of two inflations.
+
+Step 4 is probably necessary for good read-time performance. "git
+pack-objects" on the server optimizes the pack file for good data
+locality (see Documentation/technical/pack-heuristics.txt).
+
+Details of this process are likely to change. It will take some
+experimenting to get this to perform well.
+
+Push
+~~~~
+Push is simpler than fetch because the objects referenced by the
+pushed objects are already in the translation table. The sha1-content
+of each object being pushed can be read as described in the "Reading
+an object's sha1-content" section to generate the pack written by git
+send-pack.
+
+Signed Commits
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+We add a new field "gpgsig-newhash" to the commit object format to allow
+signing commits without relying on SHA-1. It is similar to the
+existing "gpgsig" field. Its signed payload is the newhash-content of the
+commit object with any "gpgsig" and "gpgsig-newhash" fields removed.
+
+This means commits can be signed
+1. using SHA-1 only, as in existing signed commit objects
+2. using both SHA-1 and NewHash, by using both gpgsig-newhash and gpgsig
+   fields.
+3. using only NewHash, by only using the gpgsig-newhash field.
+
+Old versions of "git verify-commit" can verify the gpgsig signature in
+cases (1) and (2) without modifications and view case (3) as an
+ordinary unsigned commit.
+
+Signed Tags
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+We add a new field "gpgsig-newhash" to the tag object format to allow
+signing tags without relying on SHA-1. Its signed payload is the
+newhash-content of the tag with its gpgsig-newhash field and "-----BEGIN PGP
+SIGNATURE-----" delimited in-body signature removed.
+
+This means tags can be signed
+1. using SHA-1 only, as in existing signed tag objects
+2. using both SHA-1 and NewHash, by using gpgsig-newhash and an in-body
+   signature.
+3. using only NewHash, by only using the gpgsig-newhash field.
+
+Mergetag embedding
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The mergetag field in the sha1-content of a commit contains the
+sha1-content of a tag that was merged by that commit.
+
+The mergetag field in the newhash-content of the same commit contains the
+newhash-content of the same tag.
+
+Submodules
+~~~~~~~~~~
+To convert recorded submodule pointers, you need to have the converted
+submodule repository in place. The translation table of the submodule
+can be used to look up the new hash.
+
+Loose objects and unreachable objects
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Fast lookups in the loose-object-idx require that the number of loose
+objects not grow too high.
+
+"git gc --auto" currently waits for there to be 6700 loose objects
+present before consolidating them into a packfile. We will need to
+measure to find a more appropriate threshold for it to use.
+
+"git gc --auto" currently waits for there to be 50 packs present
+before combining packfiles. Packing loose objects more aggressively
+may cause the number of pack files to grow too quickly. This can be
+mitigated by using a strategy similar to Martin Fick's exponential
+rolling garbage collection script:
+https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/c/gerrit/+/35215
+
+"git gc" currently expels any unreachable objects it encounters in
+pack files to loose objects in an attempt to prevent a race when
+pruning them (in case another process is simultaneously writing a new
+object that refers to the about-to-be-deleted object). This leads to
+an explosion in the number of loose objects present and disk space
+usage due to the objects in delta form being replaced with independent
+loose objects.  Worse, the race is still present for loose objects.
+
+Instead, "git gc" will need to move unreachable objects to a new
+packfile marked as UNREACHABLE_GARBAGE (using the PSRC field; see
+below). To avoid the race when writing new objects referring to an
+about-to-be-deleted object, code paths that write new objects will
+need to copy any objects from UNREACHABLE_GARBAGE packs that they
+refer to to new, non-UNREACHABLE_GARBAGE packs (or loose objects).
+UNREACHABLE_GARBAGE are then safe to delete if their creation time (as
+indicated by the file's mtime) is long enough ago.
+
+To avoid a proliferation of UNREACHABLE_GARBAGE packs, they can be
+combined under certain circumstances. If "gc.garbageTtl" is set to
+greater than one day, then packs created within a single calendar day,
+UTC, can be coalesced together. The resulting packfile would have an
+mtime before midnight on that day, so this makes the effective maximum
+ttl the garbageTtl + 1 day. If "gc.garbageTtl" is less than one day,
+then we divide the calendar day into intervals one-third of that ttl
+in duration. Packs created within the same interval can be coalesced
+together. The resulting packfile would have an mtime before the end of
+the interval, so this makes the effective maximum ttl equal to the
+garbageTtl * 4/3.
+
+This rule comes from Thirumala Reddy Mutchukota's JGit change
+https://git.eclipse.org/r/90465.
+
+The UNREACHABLE_GARBAGE setting goes in the PSRC field of the pack
+index. More generally, that field indicates where a pack came from:
+
+ - 1 (PACK_SOURCE_RECEIVE) for a pack received over the network
+ - 2 (PACK_SOURCE_AUTO) for a pack created by a lightweight
+   "gc --auto" operation
+ - 3 (PACK_SOURCE_GC) for a pack created by a full gc
+ - 4 (PACK_SOURCE_UNREACHABLE_GARBAGE) for potential garbage
+   discovered by gc
+ - 5 (PACK_SOURCE_INSERT) for locally created objects that were
+   written directly to a pack file, e.g. from "git add ."
+
+This information can be useful for debugging and for "gc --auto" to
+make appropriate choices about which packs to coalesce.
+
+Caveats
+-------
+Invalid objects
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The conversion from sha1-content to newhash-content retains any
+brokenness in the original object (e.g., tree entry modes encoded with
+leading 0, tree objects whose paths are not sorted correctly, and
+commit objects without an author or committer). This is a deliberate
+feature of the design to allow the conversion to round-trip.
+
+More profoundly broken objects (e.g., a commit with a truncated "tree"
+header line) cannot be converted but were not usable by current Git
+anyway.
+
+Shallow clone and submodules
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Because it requires all referenced objects to be available in the
+locally generated translation table, this design does not support
+shallow clone or unfetched submodules. Protocol improvements might
+allow lifting this restriction.
+
+Alternates
+~~~~~~~~~~
+For the same reason, a newhash repository cannot borrow objects from a
+sha1 repository using objects/info/alternates or
+$GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_REPOSITORIES.
+
+git notes
+~~~~~~~~~
+The "git notes" tool annotates objects using their sha1-name as key.
+This design does not describe a way to migrate notes trees to use
+newhash-names. That migration is expected to happen separately (for
+example using a file at the root of the notes tree to describe which
+hash it uses).
+
+Server-side cost
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Until Git protocol gains NewHash support, using NewHash based storage
+on public-facing Git servers is strongly discouraged. Once Git
+protocol gains NewHash support, NewHash based servers are likely not
+to support SHA-1 compatibility, to avoid what may be a very expensive
+hash reencode during clone and to encourage peers to modernize.
+
+The design described here allows fetches by SHA-1 clients of a
+personal NewHash repository because it's not much more difficult than
+allowing pushes from that repository. This support needs to be guarded
+by a configuration option --- servers like git.kernel.org that serve a
+large number of clients would not be expected to bear that cost.
+
+Meaning of signatures
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The signed payload for signed commits and tags does not explicitly
+name the hash used to identify objects. If some day Git adopts a new
+hash function with the same length as the current SHA-1 (40
+hexadecimal digit) or NewHash (64 hexadecimal digit) objects then the
+intent behind the PGP signed payload in an object signature is
+unclear:
+
+	object e7e07d5a4fcc2a203d9873968ad3e6bd4d7419d7
+	type commit
+	tag v2.12.0
+	tagger Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1487962205 -0800
+
+	Git 2.12
+
+Does this mean Git v2.12.0 is the commit with sha1-name
+e7e07d5a4fcc2a203d9873968ad3e6bd4d7419d7 or the commit with
+new-40-digit-hash-name e7e07d5a4fcc2a203d9873968ad3e6bd4d7419d7?
+
+Fortunately NewHash and SHA-1 have different lengths. If Git starts
+using another hash with the same length to name objects, then it will
+need to change the format of signed payloads using that hash to
+address this issue.
+
+Object names on the command line
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+To support the transition (see Transition plan below), this design
+supports four different modes of operation:
+
+ 1. ("dark launch") Treat object names input by the user as SHA-1 and
+    convert any object names written to output to SHA-1, but store
+    objects using NewHash.  This allows users to test the code with no
+    visible behavior change except for performance.  This allows
+    allows running even tests that assume the SHA-1 hash function, to
+    sanity-check the behavior of the new mode.
+
+ 2. ("early transition") Allow both SHA-1 and NewHash object names in
+    input. Any object names written to output use SHA-1. This allows
+    users to continue to make use of SHA-1 to communicate with peers
+    (e.g. by email) that have not migrated yet and prepares for mode 3.
+
+ 3. ("late transition") Allow both SHA-1 and NewHash object names in
+    input. Any object names written to output use NewHash. In this
+    mode, users are using a more secure object naming method by
+    default.  The disruption is minimal as long as most of their peers
+    are in mode 2 or mode 3.
+
+ 4. ("post-transition") Treat object names input by the user as
+    NewHash and write output using NewHash. This is safer than mode 3
+    because there is less risk that input is incorrectly interpreted
+    using the wrong hash function.
+
+The mode is specified in configuration.
+
+The user can also explicitly specify which format to use for a
+particular revision specifier and for output, overriding the mode. For
+example:
+
+git --output-format=sha1 log abac87a^{sha1}..f787cac^{newhash}
+
+Selection of a New Hash
+-----------------------
+In early 2005, around the time that Git was written,  Xiaoyun Wang,
+Yiqun Lisa Yin, and Hongbo Yu announced an attack finding SHA-1
+collisions in 2^69 operations. In August they published details.
+Luckily, no practical demonstrations of a collision in full SHA-1 were
+published until 10 years later, in 2017.
+
+The hash function NewHash to replace SHA-1 should be stronger than
+SHA-1 was: we would like it to be trustworthy and useful in practice
+for at least 10 years.
+
+Some other relevant properties:
+
+1. A 256-bit hash (long enough to match common security practice; not
+   excessively long to hurt performance and disk usage).
+
+2. High quality implementations should be widely available (e.g. in
+   OpenSSL).
+
+3. The hash function's properties should match Git's needs (e.g. Git
+   requires collision and 2nd preimage resistance and does not require
+   length extension resistance).
+
+4. As a tiebreaker, the hash should be fast to compute (fortunately
+   many contenders are faster than SHA-1).
+
+Some hashes under consideration are SHA-256, SHA-512/256, SHA-256x16,
+K12, and BLAKE2bp-256.
+
+Transition plan

+Some initial steps can be implemented independently of one another:
+- adding a hash function API (vtable)
+- teaching fsck to tolerate the gpgsig-newhash field
+- excluding gpgsig-* from the fields copied by "git commit --amend"
+- annotating tests that depend on SHA-1 values with a SHA1 test
+  prerequisite
+- using "struct object_id", GIT_MAX_RAWSZ, and GIT_MAX_HEXSZ
+  consistently instead of "unsigned char *" and the hardcoded
+  constants 20 and 40.
+- introducing index v3
+- adding support for the PSRC field and safer object pruning
+
+
+The first user-visible change is the introduction of the objectFormat
+extension (without compatObjectFormat). This requires:
+- implementing the loose-object-idx
+- teaching fsck about this mode of operation
+- using the hash function API (vtable) when computing object names
+- signing objects and verifying signatures
+- rejecting attempts to fetch from or push to an incompatible
+  repository
+
+Next comes introduction of compatObjectFormat:
+- translating object names between object formats
+- translating object content between object formats
+- generating and verifying signatures in the compat format
+- adding appropriate index entries when adding a new object to the
+  object store
+- --output-format option
+- ^{sha1} and ^{newhash} revision notation
+- configuration to specify default input and output format (see
+  "Object names on the command line" above)
+
+The next step is supporting fetches and pushes to SHA-1 repositories:
+- allow pushes to a repository using the compat format
+- generate a topologically sorted list of the SHA-1 names of fetched
+  objects
+- convert the fetched packfile to newhash format and generate an idx
+  file
+- re-sort to match the order of objects in the fetched packfile
+
+The infrastructure supporting fetch also allows converting an existing
+repository. In converted repositories and new clones, end users can
+gain support for the new hash function without any visible change in
+behavior (see "dark launch" in the "Object names on the command line"
+section). In particular this allows users to verify NewHash signatures
+on objects in the repository, and it should ensure the transition code
+is stable in production in preparation for using it more widely.
+
+Over time projects would encourage their users to adopt the "early
+transition" and then "late transition" modes to take advantage of the
+new, more futureproof NewHash object names.
+
+When objectFormat and compatObjectFormat are both set, commands
+generating signatures would generate both SHA-1 and NewHash signatures
+by default to support both new and old users.
+
+In projects using NewHash heavily, users could be encouraged to adopt
+the "post-transition" mode to avoid accidentally making implicit use
+of SHA-1 object names.
+
+Once a critical mass of users have upgraded to a version of Git that
+can verify NewHash signatures and have converted their existing
+repositories to support verifying them, we can add support for a
+setting to generate only NewHash signatures. This is expected to be at
+least a year later.
+
+That is also a good moment to advertise the ability to convert
+repositories to use NewHash only, stripping out all SHA-1 related
+metadata. This improves performance by eliminating translation
+overhead and security by avoiding the possibility of accidentally
+relying on the safety of SHA-1.
+
+Updating Git's protocols to allow a server to specify which hash
+functions it supports is also an important part of this transition. It
+is not discussed in detail in this document but this transition plan
+assumes it happens. :)
+
+Alternatives considered
+-----------------------
+Upgrading everyone working on a particular project on a flag day
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Projects like the Linux kernel are large and complex enough that
+flipping the switch for all projects based on the repository at once
+is infeasible.
+
+Not only would all developers and server operators supporting
+developers have to switch on the same flag day, but supporting tooling
+(continuous integration, code review, bug trackers, etc) would have to
+be adapted as well. This also makes it difficult to get early feedback
+from some project participants testing before it is time for mass
+adoption.
+
+Using hash functions in parallel
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+(e.g. https://public-inbox.org/git/22708.8913.864049.452252@chiark.greenend.org.uk/ )
+Objects newly created would be addressed by the new hash, but inside
+such an object (e.g. commit) it is still possible to address objects
+using the old hash function.
+* You cannot trust its history (needed for bisectability) in the
+  future without further work
+* Maintenance burden as the number of supported hash functions grows
+  (they will never go away, so they accumulate). In this proposal, by
+  comparison, converted objects lose all references to SHA-1.
+
+Signed objects with multiple hashes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Instead of introducing the gpgsig-newhash field in commit and tag objects
+for newhash-content based signatures, an earlier version of this design
+added "hash newhash <newhash-name>" fields to strengthen the existing
+sha1-content based signatures.
+
+In other words, a single signature was used to attest to the object
+content using both hash functions. This had some advantages:
+* Using one signature instead of two speeds up the signing process.
+* Having one signed payload with both hashes allows the signer to
+  attest to the sha1-name and newhash-name referring to the same object.
+* All users consume the same signature. Broken signatures are likely
+  to be detected quickly using current versions of git.
+
+However, it also came with disadvantages:
+* Verifying a signed object requires access to the sha1-names of all
+  objects it references, even after the transition is complete and
+  translation table is no longer needed for anything else. To support
+  this, the design added fields such as "hash sha1 tree <sha1-name>"
+  and "hash sha1 parent <sha1-name>" to the newhash-content of a signed
+  commit, complicating the conversion process.
+* Allowing signed objects without a sha1 (for after the transition is
+  complete) complicated the design further, requiring a "nohash sha1"
+  field to suppress including "hash sha1" fields in the newhash-content
+  and signed payload.
+
+Lazily populated translation table
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Some of the work of building the translation table could be deferred to
+push time, but that would significantly complicate and slow down pushes.
+Calculating the sha1-name at object creation time at the same time it is
+being streamed to disk and having its newhash-name calculated should be
+an acceptable cost.

+Partial Clone Design Notes
+==========================
+
+The "Partial Clone" feature is a performance optimization for Git that
+allows Git to function without having a complete copy of the repository.
+The goal of this work is to allow Git better handle extremely large
+repositories.
+
+During clone and fetch operations, Git downloads the complete contents
+and history of the repository.  This includes all commits, trees, and
+blobs for the complete life of the repository.  For extremely large
+repositories, clones can take hours (or days) and consume 100+GiB of disk
+space.
+
+Often in these repositories there are many blobs and trees that the user
+does not need such as:
+
+  1. files outside of the user's work area in the tree.  For example, in
+     a repository with 500K directories and 3.5M files in every commit,
+     we can avoid downloading many objects if the user only needs a
+     narrow "cone" of the source tree.
+
+  2. large binary assets.  For example, in a repository where large build
+     artifacts are checked into the tree, we can avoid downloading all
+     previous versions of these non-mergeable binary assets and only
+     download versions that are actually referenced.
+
+Partial clone allows us to avoid downloading such unneeded objects *in
+advance* during clone and fetch operations and thereby reduce download
+times and disk usage.  Missing objects can later be "demand fetched"
+if/when needed.
+
+Use of partial clone requires that the user be online and the origin
+remote be available for on-demand fetching of missing objects.  This may
+or may not be problematic for the user.  For example, if the user can
+stay within the pre-selected subset of the source tree, they may not
+encounter any missing objects.  Alternatively, the user could try to
+pre-fetch various objects if they know that they are going offline.
+
+
+Non-Goals
+---------
+
+Partial clone is a mechanism to limit the number of blobs and trees downloaded
+*within* a given range of commits -- and is therefore independent of and not
+intended to conflict with existing DAG-level mechanisms to limit the set of
+requested commits (i.e. shallow clone, single branch, or fetch '<refspec>').
+
+
+Design Overview
+---------------
+
+Partial clone logically consists of the following parts:
+
+- A mechanism for the client to describe unneeded or unwanted objects to
+  the server.
+
+- A mechanism for the server to omit such unwanted objects from packfiles
+  sent to the client.
+
+- A mechanism for the client to gracefully handle missing objects (that
+  were previously omitted by the server).
+
+- A mechanism for the client to backfill missing objects as needed.
+
+
+Design Details
+--------------
+
+- A new pack-protocol capability "filter" is added to the fetch-pack and
+  upload-pack negotiation.
+
+  This uses the existing capability discovery mechanism.
+  See "filter" in Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt.
+
+- Clients pass a "filter-spec" to clone and fetch which is passed to the
+  server to request filtering during packfile construction.
+
+  There are various filters available to accommodate different situations.
+  See "--filter=<filter-spec>" in Documentation/rev-list-options.txt.
+
+- On the server pack-objects applies the requested filter-spec as it
+  creates "filtered" packfiles for the client.
+
+  These filtered packfiles are *incomplete* in the traditional sense because
+  they may contain objects that reference objects not contained in the
+  packfile and that the client doesn't already have.  For example, the
+  filtered packfile may contain trees or tags that reference missing blobs
+  or commits that reference missing trees.
+
+- On the client these incomplete packfiles are marked as "promisor packfiles"
+  and treated differently by various commands.
+
+- On the client a repository extension is added to the local config to
+  prevent older versions of git from failing mid-operation because of
+  missing objects that they cannot handle.
+  See "extensions.partialClone" in Documentation/technical/repository-version.txt"
+
+
+Handling Missing Objects
+------------------------
+
+- An object may be missing due to a partial clone or fetch, or missing due
+  to repository corruption.  To differentiate these cases, the local
+  repository specially indicates such filtered packfiles obtained from the
+  promisor remote as "promisor packfiles".
+
+  These promisor packfiles consist of a "<name>.promisor" file with
+  arbitrary contents (like the "<name>.keep" files), in addition to
+  their "<name>.pack" and "<name>.idx" files.
+
+- The local repository considers a "promisor object" to be an object that
+  it knows (to the best of its ability) that the promisor remote has promised
+  that it has, either because the local repository has that object in one of
+  its promisor packfiles, or because another promisor object refers to it.
+
+  When Git encounters a missing object, Git can see if it a promisor object
+  and handle it appropriately.  If not, Git can report a corruption.
+
+  This means that there is no need for the client to explicitly maintain an
+  expensive-to-modify list of missing objects.[a]
+
+- Since almost all Git code currently expects any referenced object to be
+  present locally and because we do not want to force every command to do
+  a dry-run first, a fallback mechanism is added to allow Git to attempt
+  to dynamically fetch missing objects from the promisor remote.
+
+  When the normal object lookup fails to find an object, Git invokes
+  fetch-object to try to get the object from the server and then retry
+  the object lookup.  This allows objects to be "faulted in" without
+  complicated prediction algorithms.
+
+  For efficiency reasons, no check as to whether the missing object is
+  actually a promisor object is performed.
+
+  Dynamic object fetching tends to be slow as objects are fetched one at
+  a time.
+
+- `checkout` (and any other command using `unpack-trees`) has been taught
+  to bulk pre-fetch all required missing blobs in a single batch.
+
+- `rev-list` has been taught to print missing objects.
+
+  This can be used by other commands to bulk prefetch objects.
+  For example, a "git log -p A..B" may internally want to first do
+  something like "git rev-list --objects --quiet --missing=print A..B"
+  and prefetch those objects in bulk.
+
+- `fsck` has been updated to be fully aware of promisor objects.
+
+- `repack` in GC has been updated to not touch promisor packfiles at all,
+  and to only repack other objects.
+
+- The global variable "fetch_if_missing" is used to control whether an
+  object lookup will attempt to dynamically fetch a missing object or
+  report an error.
+
+  We are not happy with this global variable and would like to remove it,
+  but that requires significant refactoring of the object code to pass an
+  additional flag.  We hope that concurrent efforts to add an ODB API can
+  encompass this.
+
+
+Fetching Missing Objects
+------------------------
+
+- Fetching of objects is done using the existing transport mechanism using
+  transport_fetch_refs(), setting a new transport option
+  TRANS_OPT_NO_DEPENDENTS to indicate that only the objects themselves are
+  desired, not any object that they refer to.
+
+  Because some transports invoke fetch_pack() in the same process, fetch_pack()
+  has been updated to not use any object flags when the corresponding argument
+  (no_dependents) is set.
+
+- The local repository sends a request with the hashes of all requested
+  objects as "want" lines, and does not perform any packfile negotiation.
+  It then receives a packfile.
+
+- Because we are reusing the existing fetch-pack mechanism, fetching
+  currently fetches all objects referred to by the requested objects, even
+  though they are not necessary.
+
+
+Current Limitations
+-------------------
+
+- The remote used for a partial clone (or the first partial fetch
+  following a regular clone) is marked as the "promisor remote".
+
+  We are currently limited to a single promisor remote and only that
+  remote may be used for subsequent partial fetches.
+
+  We accept this limitation because we believe initial users of this
+  feature will be using it on repositories with a strong single central
+  server.
+
+- Dynamic object fetching will only ask the promisor remote for missing
+  objects.  We assume that the promisor remote has a complete view of the
+  repository and can satisfy all such requests.
+
+- Repack essentially treats promisor and non-promisor packfiles as 2
+  distinct partitions and does not mix them.  Repack currently only works
+  on non-promisor packfiles and loose objects.
+
+- Dynamic object fetching invokes fetch-pack once *for each item*
+  because most algorithms stumble upon a missing object and need to have
+  it resolved before continuing their work.  This may incur significant
+  overhead -- and multiple authentication requests -- if many objects are
+  needed.
+
+- Dynamic object fetching currently uses the existing pack protocol V0
+  which means that each object is requested via fetch-pack.  The server
+  will send a full set of info/refs when the connection is established.
+  If there are large number of refs, this may incur significant overhead.
+
+
+Future Work
+-----------
+
+- Allow more than one promisor remote and define a strategy for fetching
+  missing objects from specific promisor remotes or of iterating over the
+  set of promisor remotes until a missing object is found.
+
+  A user might want to have multiple geographically-close cache servers
+  for fetching missing blobs while continuing to do filtered `git-fetch`
+  commands from the central server, for example.
+
+  Or the user might want to work in a triangular work flow with multiple
+  promisor remotes that each have an incomplete view of the repository.
+
+- Allow repack to work on promisor packfiles (while keeping them distinct
+  from non-promisor packfiles).
+
+- Allow non-pathname-based filters to make use of packfile bitmaps (when
+  present).  This was just an omission during the initial implementation.
+
+- Investigate use of a long-running process to dynamically fetch a series
+  of objects, such as proposed in [5,6] to reduce process startup and
+  overhead costs.
+
+  It would be nice if pack protocol V2 could allow that long-running
+  process to make a series of requests over a single long-running
+  connection.
+
+- Investigate pack protocol V2 to avoid the info/refs broadcast on
+  each connection with the server to dynamically fetch missing objects.
+
+- Investigate the need to handle loose promisor objects.
+
+  Objects in promisor packfiles are allowed to reference missing objects
+  that can be dynamically fetched from the server.  An assumption was
+  made that loose objects are only created locally and therefore should
+  not reference a missing object.  We may need to revisit that assumption
+  if, for example, we dynamically fetch a missing tree and store it as a
+  loose object rather than a single object packfile.
+
+  This does not necessarily mean we need to mark loose objects as promisor;
+  it may be sufficient to relax the object lookup or is-promisor functions.
+
+
+Non-Tasks
+---------
+
+- Every time the subject of "demand loading blobs" comes up it seems
+  that someone suggests that the server be allowed to "guess" and send
+  additional objects that may be related to the requested objects.
+
+  No work has gone into actually doing that; we're just documenting that
+  it is a common suggestion.  We're not sure how it would work and have
+  no plans to work on it.
+
+  It is valid for the server to send more objects than requested (even
+  for a dynamic object fetch), but we are not building on that.
+
+
+Footnotes
+---------
+
+[a] expensive-to-modify list of missing objects:  Earlier in the design of
+    partial clone we discussed the need for a single list of missing objects.
+    This would essentially be a sorted linear list of OIDs that the were
+    omitted by the server during a clone or subsequent fetches.
+
+    This file would need to be loaded into memory on every object lookup.
+    It would need to be read, updated, and re-written (like the .git/index)
+    on every explicit "git fetch" command *and* on any dynamic object fetch.
+
+    The cost to read, update, and write this file could add significant
+    overhead to every command if there are many missing objects.  For example,
+    if there are 100M missing blobs, this file would be at least 2GiB on disk.
+
+    With the "promisor" concept, we *infer* a missing object based upon the
+    type of packfile that references it.
