-# Git Code of Conduct
-
-This code of conduct outlines our expectations for participants within
-the Git community, as well as steps for reporting unacceptable behavior.
-We are committed to providing a welcoming and inspiring community for
-all and expect our code of conduct to be honored. Anyone who violates
-this code of conduct may be banned from the community.
-
-## Our Pledge
-
-In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
-contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in our project and
-our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age,
-body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and
-expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
-nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
-orientation.
-
-## Our Standards
-
-Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
-include:
-
-* Using welcoming and inclusive language
-* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
-* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
-* Focusing on what is best for the community
-* Showing empathy towards other community members
-
-Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
-
-* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
-  advances
-* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
-* Public or private harassment
-* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
-  address, without explicit permission
-* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
-  professional setting
-
-## Our Responsibilities
-
-Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
-behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
-response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
-
-Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
-reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
-that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
-permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
-threatening, offensive, or harmful.
-
-## Scope
-
-This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, and it also applies
-when an individual is representing the project or its community in public
-spaces. Examples of representing a project or community include using an
-official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account,
-or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
-Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project
-maintainers.
-
-## Enforcement
-
-Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
-reported by contacting the project team at git@sfconservancy.org. All
-complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response
-that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project
-team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of
-an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted
-separately.
-
-Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
-faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
-members of the project's leadership.
-
-The project leadership team can be contacted by email as a whole at
-git@sfconservancy.org, or individually:

-= My First Object Walk
-
-== What's an Object Walk?
-
-The object walk is a key concept in Git - this is the process that underpins
-operations like object transfer and fsck. Beginning from a given commit, the
-list of objects is found by walking parent relationships between commits (commit
-X based on commit W) and containment relationships between objects (tree Y is
-contained within commit X, and blob Z is located within tree Y, giving our
-working tree for commit X something like `y/z.txt`).
-
-A related concept is the revision walk, which is focused on commit objects and
-their parent relationships and does not delve into other object types. The
-revision walk is used for operations like `git log`.
-
-=== Related Reading
-
-- `Documentation/user-manual.txt` under "Hacking Git" contains some coverage of
-  the revision walker in its various incarnations.
-- `revision.h`
-- https://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/[Git for Computer Scientists]
-  gives a good overview of the types of objects in Git and what your object
-  walk is really describing.
-
-== Setting Up
-
-Create a new branch from `master`.
-
-----
-git checkout -b revwalk origin/master
-----
-
-We'll put our fiddling into a new command. For fun, let's name it `git walken`.
-Open up a new file `builtin/walken.c` and set up the command handler:
-
-----
-/*
- * "git walken"
- *
- * Part of the "My First Object Walk" tutorial.
- */
-
-#include "builtin.h"
-
-int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
-{
-	trace_printf(_("cmd_walken incoming...\n"));
-	return 0;
-}
-----
-
-NOTE: `trace_printf()` differs from `printf()` in that it can be turned on or
-off at runtime. For the purposes of this tutorial, we will write `walken` as
-though it is intended for use as a "plumbing" command: that is, a command which
-is used primarily in scripts, rather than interactively by humans (a "porcelain"
-command). So we will send our debug output to `trace_printf()` instead. When
-running, enable trace output by setting the environment variable `GIT_TRACE`.
-
-Add usage text and `-h` handling, like all subcommands should consistently do
-(our test suite will notice and complain if you fail to do so).
-
-----
-int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
-{
-	const char * const walken_usage[] = {
-		N_("git walken"),
-		NULL,
-	}
-	struct option options[] = {
-		OPT_END()
-	};
-
-	argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, options, walken_usage, 0);
-
-	...
-}
-----
-
-Also add the relevant line in `builtin.h` near `cmd_whatchanged()`:
-
-----
-int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix);
-----
-
-Include the command in `git.c` in `commands[]` near the entry for `whatchanged`,
-maintaining alphabetical ordering:
-
-----
-{ "walken", cmd_walken, RUN_SETUP },
-----
-
-Add it to the `Makefile` near the line for `builtin/worktree.o`:
-
-----
-BUILTIN_OBJS += builtin/walken.o
-----
-
-Build and test out your command, without forgetting to ensure the `DEVELOPER`
-flag is set, and with `GIT_TRACE` enabled so the debug output can be seen:
-
-----
-$ echo DEVELOPER=1 >>config.mak
-$ make
-$ GIT_TRACE=1 ./bin-wrappers/git walken
-----
-
-NOTE: For a more exhaustive overview of the new command process, take a look at
-`Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt`.
-
-NOTE: A reference implementation can be found at
-https://github.com/nasamuffin/git/tree/revwalk.
-
-=== `struct rev_cmdline_info`
-
-The definition of `struct rev_cmdline_info` can be found in `revision.h`.
-
-This struct is contained within the `rev_info` struct and is used to reflect
-parameters provided by the user over the CLI.
-
-`nr` represents the number of `rev_cmdline_entry` present in the array.
-
-`alloc` is used by the `ALLOC_GROW` macro. Check `cache.h` - this variable is
-used to track the allocated size of the list.
-
-Per entry, we find:
-
-`item` is the object provided upon which to base the object walk. Items in Git
-can be blobs, trees, commits, or tags. (See `Documentation/gittutorial-2.txt`.)
-
-`name` is the object ID (OID) of the object - a hex string you may be familiar
-with from using Git to organize your source in the past. Check the tutorial
-mentioned above towards the top for a discussion of where the OID can come
-from.
-
-`whence` indicates some information about what to do with the parents of the
-specified object. We'll explore this flag more later on; take a look at
-`Documentation/revisions.txt` to get an idea of what could set the `whence`
-value.
-
-`flags` are used to hint the beginning of the revision walk and are the first
-block under the `#include`s in `revision.h`. The most likely ones to be set in
-the `rev_cmdline_info` are `UNINTERESTING` and `BOTTOM`, but these same flags
-can be used during the walk, as well.
-
-=== `struct rev_info`
-
-This one is quite a bit longer, and many fields are only used during the walk
-by `revision.c` - not configuration options. Most of the configurable flags in
-`struct rev_info` have a mirror in `Documentation/rev-list-options.txt`. It's a
-good idea to take some time and read through that document.
-
-== Basic Commit Walk
-
-First, let's see if we can replicate the output of `git log --oneline`. We'll
-refer back to the implementation frequently to discover norms when performing
-an object walk of our own.
-
-To do so, we'll first find all the commits, in order, which preceded the current
-commit. We'll extract the name and subject of the commit from each.
-
-Ideally, we will also be able to find out which ones are currently at the tip of
-various branches.
-
-=== Setting Up
-
-Preparing for your object walk has some distinct stages.
-
-1. Perform default setup for this mode, and others which may be invoked.
-2. Check configuration files for relevant settings.
-3. Set up the `rev_info` struct.
-4. Tweak the initialized `rev_info` to suit the current walk.
-5. Prepare the `rev_info` for the walk.
-6. Iterate over the objects, processing each one.
-
-==== Default Setups
-
-Before examining configuration files which may modify command behavior, set up
-default state for switches or options your command may have. If your command
-utilizes other Git components, ask them to set up their default states as well.
-For instance, `git log` takes advantage of `grep` and `diff` functionality, so
-its `init_log_defaults()` sets its own state (`decoration_style`) and asks
-`grep` and `diff` to initialize themselves by calling each of their
-initialization functions.
-
-For our first example within `git walken`, we don't intend to use any other
-components within Git, and we don't have any configuration to do.  However, we
-may want to add some later, so for now, we can add an empty placeholder. Create
-a new function in `builtin/walken.c`:
-
-----
-static void init_walken_defaults(void)
-{
-	/*
-	 * We don't actually need the same components `git log` does; leave this
-	 * empty for now.
-	 */
-}
-----
-
-Make sure to add a line invoking it inside of `cmd_walken()`.
-
-----
-int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
-{
-	init_walken_defaults();
-}
-----
-
-==== Configuring From `.gitconfig`
-
-Next, we should have a look at any relevant configuration settings (i.e.,
-settings readable and settable from `git config`). This is done by providing a
-callback to `git_config()`; within that callback, you can also invoke methods
-from other components you may need that need to intercept these options. Your
-callback will be invoked once per each configuration value which Git knows about
-(global, local, worktree, etc.).
-
-Similarly to the default values, we don't have anything to do here yet
-ourselves; however, we should call `git_default_config()` if we aren't calling
-any other existing config callbacks.
-
-Add a new function to `builtin/walken.c`:
-
-----
-static int git_walken_config(const char *var, const char *value, void *cb)
-{
-	/*
-	 * For now, we don't have any custom configuration, so fall back to
-	 * the default config.
-	 */
-	return git_default_config(var, value, cb);
-}
-----
-
-Make sure to invoke `git_config()` with it in your `cmd_walken()`:
-
-----
-int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
-{
-	...
-
-	git_config(git_walken_config, NULL);
-
-	...
-}
-----
-
-==== Setting Up `rev_info`
-
-Now that we've gathered external configuration and options, it's time to
-initialize the `rev_info` object which we will use to perform the walk. This is
-typically done by calling `repo_init_revisions()` with the repository you intend
-to target, as well as the `prefix` argument of `cmd_walken` and your `rev_info`
-struct.
-
-Add the `struct rev_info` and the `repo_init_revisions()` call:
-----
-int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
-{
-	/* This can go wherever you like in your declarations.*/
-	struct rev_info rev;
-	...
-
-	/* This should go after the git_config() call. */
-	repo_init_revisions(the_repository, &rev, prefix);
-
-	...
-}
-----
-
-==== Tweaking `rev_info` For the Walk
-
-We're getting close, but we're still not quite ready to go. Now that `rev` is
-initialized, we can modify it to fit our needs. This is usually done within a
-helper for clarity, so let's add one:
-
-----
-static void final_rev_info_setup(struct rev_info *rev)
-{
-	/*
-	 * We want to mimic the appearance of `git log --oneline`, so let's
-	 * force oneline format.
-	 */
-	get_commit_format("oneline", rev);
-
-	/* Start our object walk at HEAD. */
-	add_head_to_pending(rev);
-}
-----
-
-[NOTE]
-====
-Instead of using the shorthand `add_head_to_pending()`, you could do
-something like this:
-----
-	struct setup_revision_opt opt;
-
-	memset(&opt, 0, sizeof(opt));
-	opt.def = "HEAD";
-	opt.revarg_opt = REVARG_COMMITTISH;
-	setup_revisions(argc, argv, rev, &opt);
-----
-Using a `setup_revision_opt` gives you finer control over your walk's starting
-point.
-====
-
-Then let's invoke `final_rev_info_setup()` after the call to
-`repo_init_revisions()`:
-
-----
-int cmd_walken(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)
-{
-	...
-
-	final_rev_info_setup(&rev);
-
-	...
-}
-----
-
-Later, we may wish to add more arguments to `final_rev_info_setup()`. But for
-now, this is all we need.
-
-==== Preparing `rev_info` For the Walk
-
-Now that `rev` is all initialized and configured, we've got one more setup step
-before we get rolling. We can do this in a helper, which will both prepare the
-`rev_info` for the walk, and perform the walk itself. Let's start the helper
-with the call to `prepare_revision_walk()`, which can return an error without
-dying on its own:
-
-----
-static void walken_commit_walk(struct rev_info *rev)
-{
-	if (prepare_revision_walk(rev))
-		die(_("revision walk setup failed"));
-}
-----
-
-NOTE: `die()` prints to `stderr` and exits the program. Since it will print to
-`stderr` it's likely to be seen by a human, so we will localize it.
-
-==== Performing the Walk!
-
-Finally! We are ready to begin the walk itself. Now we can see that `rev_info`
-can also be used as an iterator; we move to the next item in the walk by using
-`get_revision()` repeatedly. Add the listed variable declarations at the top and
-the walk loop below the `prepare_revision_walk()` call within your
-`walken_commit_walk()`:
-
-----
-static void walken_commit_walk(struct rev_info *rev)
-{
-	struct commit *commit;
-	struct strbuf prettybuf = STRBUF_INIT;
-
-	...
-

-You should see all of the subject lines of all the commits in
-your tree's history, in order, ending with the initial commit, "Initial revision
-of "git", the information manager from hell". Congratulations! You've written
-your first revision walk. You can play with printing some additional fields
-from each commit if you're curious; have a look at the functions available in
-`commit.h`.
-
-=== Adding a Filter
-
-Next, let's try to filter the commits we see based on their author. This is
-equivalent to running `git log --author=<pattern>`. We can add a filter by
-modifying `rev_info.grep_filter`, which is a `struct grep_opt`.
-
-First some setup. Add `init_grep_defaults()` to `init_walken_defaults()` and add
-`grep_config()` to `git_walken_config()`:
-
-----
-static void init_walken_defaults(void)
-{
-	init_grep_defaults(the_repository);
-}
-
-...
-
-static int git_walken_config(const char *var, const char *value, void *cb)
-{
-	grep_config(var, value, cb);
-	return git_default_config(var, value, cb);
-}
-----
-
-Next, we can modify the `grep_filter`. This is done with convenience functions
-found in `grep.h`. For fun, we're filtering to only commits from folks using a
-`gmail.com` email address - a not-very-precise guess at who may be working on
-Git as a hobby. Since we're checking the author, which is a specific line in the
-header, we'll use the `append_header_grep_pattern()` helper. We can use
-the `enum grep_header_field` to indicate which part of the commit header we want
-to search.
-
-In `final_rev_info_setup()`, add your filter line:
-
-----
-static void final_rev_info_setup(int argc, const char **argv,
-		const char *prefix, struct rev_info *rev)
-{
-	...
-
-	append_header_grep_pattern(&rev->grep_filter, GREP_HEADER_AUTHOR,
-		"gmail");
-	compile_grep_patterns(&rev->grep_filter);
-
-	...
-}
-----
-
-`append_header_grep_pattern()` adds your new "gmail" pattern to `rev_info`, but
-it won't work unless we compile it with `compile_grep_patterns()`.
-
-NOTE: If you are using `setup_revisions()` (for example, if you are passing a
-`setup_revision_opt` instead of using `add_head_to_pending()`), you don't need
-to call `compile_grep_patterns()` because `setup_revisions()` calls it for you.
-
-NOTE: We could add the same filter via the `append_grep_pattern()` helper if we
-wanted to, but `append_header_grep_pattern()` adds the `enum grep_context` and
-`enum grep_pat_token` for us.
-
-=== Changing the Order
-
-There are a few ways that we can change the order of the commits during a
-revision walk. Firstly, we can use the `enum rev_sort_order` to choose from some
-typical orderings.
-
-`topo_order` is the same as `git log --topo-order`: we avoid showing a parent
-before all of its children have been shown, and we avoid mixing commits which
-are in different lines of history. (`git help log`'s section on `--topo-order`
-has a very nice diagram to illustrate this.)
-
-Let's see what happens when we run with `REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE` as opposed to
-`REV_SORT_BY_AUTHOR_DATE`. Add the following:
-
-----
-static void final_rev_info_setup(int argc, const char **argv,
-		const char *prefix, struct rev_info *rev)
-{
-	...
-
-	rev->topo_order = 1;
-	rev->sort_order = REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE;
-
-	...
-}
-----
-
-Let's output this into a file so we can easily diff it with the walk sorted by
-author date.
-
-----
-$ make
-$ ./bin-wrappers/git walken > commit-date.txt
-----
-
-Then, let's sort by author date and run it again.
-
-----
-static void final_rev_info_setup(int argc, const char **argv,
-		const char *prefix, struct rev_info *rev)
-{
-	...
-
-	rev->topo_order = 1;
-	rev->sort_order = REV_SORT_BY_AUTHOR_DATE;
-
-	...
-}
-----
-
-----
-$ make
-$ ./bin-wrappers/git walken > author-date.txt
-----
-
-Finally, compare the two. This is a little less helpful without object names or
-dates, but hopefully we get the idea.
-
-----
-$ diff -u commit-date.txt author-date.txt
-----
-
-This display indicates that commits can be reordered after they're written, for
-example with `git rebase`.
-
-Let's try one more reordering of commits. `rev_info` exposes a `reverse` flag.
-Set that flag somewhere inside of `final_rev_info_setup()`:
-
-----
-static void final_rev_info_setup(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix,
-		struct rev_info *rev)
-{
-	...
-
-	rev->reverse = 1;
-
-	...
-}
-----
-
-Run your walk again and note the difference in order. (If you remove the grep
-pattern, you should see the last commit this call gives you as your current
-HEAD.)
-
-== Basic Object Walk
-
-So far we've been walking only commits. But Git has more types of objects than
-that! Let's see if we can walk _all_ objects, and find out some information
-about each one.
-
-We can base our work on an example. `git pack-objects` prepares all kinds of
-objects for packing into a bitmap or packfile. The work we are interested in
-resides in `builtins/pack-objects.c:get_object_list()`; examination of that
-function shows that the all-object walk is being performed by
-`traverse_commit_list()` or `traverse_commit_list_filtered()`. Those two
-functions reside in `list-objects.c`; examining the source shows that, despite
-the name, these functions traverse all kinds of objects. Let's have a look at
-the arguments to `traverse_commit_list_filtered()`, which are a superset of the
-arguments to the unfiltered version.
-
-- `struct list_objects_filter_options *filter_options`: This is a struct which
-  stores a filter-spec as outlined in `Documentation/rev-list-options.txt`.
-- `struct rev_info *revs`: This is the `rev_info` used for the walk.
-- `show_commit_fn show_commit`: A callback which will be used to handle each
-  individual commit object.
-- `show_object_fn show_object`: A callback which will be used to handle each
-  non-commit object (so each blob, tree, or tag).
-- `void *show_data`: A context buffer which is passed in turn to `show_commit`
-  and `show_object`.
-- `struct oidset *omitted`: A linked-list of object IDs which the provided
-  filter caused to be omitted.
-
-It looks like this `traverse_commit_list_filtered()` uses callbacks we provide
-instead of needing us to call it repeatedly ourselves. Cool! Let's add the
-callbacks first.
-
-For the sake of this tutorial, we'll simply keep track of how many of each kind
-of object we find. At file scope in `builtin/walken.c` add the following
-tracking variables:
-
-----
-static int commit_count;
-static int tag_count;
-static int blob_count;
-static int tree_count;
-----
-
-Commits are handled by a different callback than other objects; let's do that
-one first:
-
-----
-static void walken_show_commit(struct commit *cmt, void *buf)
-{
-	commit_count++;
-}
-----
-
-The `cmt` argument is fairly self-explanatory. But it's worth mentioning that
-the `buf` argument is actually the context buffer that we can provide to the
-traversal calls - `show_data`, which we mentioned a moment ago.
-
-Since we have the `struct commit` object, we can look at all the same parts that
-we looked at in our earlier commit-only walk. For the sake of this tutorial,
-though, we'll just increment the commit counter and move on.
-
-The callback for non-commits is a little different, as we'll need to check
-which kind of object we're dealing with:
-
-----
-static void walken_show_object(struct object *obj, const char *str, void *buf)
-{
-	switch (obj->type) {
-	case OBJ_TREE:
-		tree_count++;
-		break;
-	case OBJ_BLOB:
-		blob_count++;
-		break;
-	case OBJ_TAG:
-		tag_count++;
-		break;
-	case OBJ_COMMIT:
-		BUG("unexpected commit object in walken_show_object\n");
-	default:
-		BUG("unexpected object type %s in walken_show_object\n",
-			type_name(obj->type));
-	}
-}
-----
-
-Again, `obj` is fairly self-explanatory, and we can guess that `buf` is the same
-context pointer that `walken_show_commit()` receives: the `show_data` argument
-to `traverse_commit_list()` and `traverse_commit_list_filtered()`. Finally,
-`str` contains the name of the object, which ends up being something like
-`foo.txt` (blob), `bar/baz` (tree), or `v1.2.3` (tag).
-
-To help assure us that we aren't double-counting commits, we'll include some
-complaining if a commit object is routed through our non-commit callback; we'll
-also complain if we see an invalid object type. Since those two cases should be
-unreachable, and would only change in the event of a semantic change to the Git
-codebase, we complain by using `BUG()` - which is a signal to a developer that
-the change they made caused unintended consequences, and the rest of the
-codebase needs to be updated to understand that change. `BUG()` is not intended
-to be seen by the public, so it is not localized.
-
-Our main object walk implementation is substantially different from our commit
-walk implementation, so let's make a new function to perform the object walk. We
-can perform setup which is applicable to all objects here, too, to keep separate
-from setup which is applicable to commit-only walks.
-
-We'll start by enabling all types of objects in the `struct rev_info`.  We'll
-also turn on `tree_blobs_in_commit_order`, which means that we will walk a
-commit's tree and everything it points to immediately after we find each commit,
-as opposed to waiting for the end and walking through all trees after the commit
-history has been discovered. With the appropriate settings configured, we are
-ready to call `prepare_revision_walk()`.
-
-----
-static void walken_object_walk(struct rev_info *rev)
-{
-	rev->tree_objects = 1;
-	rev->blob_objects = 1;
-	rev->tag_objects = 1;
-	rev->tree_blobs_in_commit_order = 1;
-
-	if (prepare_revision_walk(rev))
-		die(_("revision walk setup failed"));
-
-	commit_count = 0;
-	tag_count = 0;
-	blob_count = 0;
-	tree_count = 0;
-----
-
-Let's start by calling just the unfiltered walk and reporting our counts.
-Complete your implementation of `walken_object_walk()`:
-
-----
-	traverse_commit_list(rev, walken_show_commit, walken_show_object, NULL);
-
-	printf("commits %d\nblobs %d\ntags %d\ntrees %d\n", commit_count,
-		blob_count, tag_count, tree_count);
-}
-----
-
-NOTE: This output is intended to be machine-parsed. Therefore, we are not
-sending it to `trace_printf()`, and we are not localizing it - we need scripts
-to be able to count on the formatting to be exactly the way it is shown here.
-If we were intending this output to be read by humans, we would need to localize
-it with `_()`.
-
-Finally, we'll ask `cmd_walken()` to use the object walk instead. Discussing
-command line options is out of scope for this tutorial, so we'll just hardcode
-a branch we can change at compile time. Where you call `final_rev_info_setup()`
-and `walken_commit_walk()`, instead branch like so:
-
-----
-	if (1) {
-		add_head_to_pending(&rev);
-		walken_object_walk(&rev);
-	} else {
-		final_rev_info_setup(argc, argv, prefix, &rev);
-		walken_commit_walk(&rev);
-	}
-----
-
-NOTE: For simplicity, we've avoided all the filters and sorts we applied in
-`final_rev_info_setup()` and simply added `HEAD` to our pending queue. If you
-want, you can certainly use the filters we added before by moving
-`final_rev_info_setup()` out of the conditional and removing the call to
-`add_head_to_pending()`.
-
-Now we can try to run our command! It should take noticeably longer than the
-commit walk, but an examination of the output will give you an idea why. Your
-output should look similar to this example, but with different counts:
-
-----
-Object walk completed. Found 55733 commits, 100274 blobs, 0 tags, and 104210 trees.
-----
-
-This makes sense. We have more trees than commits because the Git project has
-lots of subdirectories which can change, plus at least one tree per commit. We
-have no tags because we started on a commit (`HEAD`) and while tags can point to
-commits, commits can't point to tags.
-
-NOTE: You will have different counts when you run this yourself! The number of
-objects grows along with the Git project.
-
-=== Adding a Filter
-
-There are a handful of filters that we can apply to the object walk laid out in
-`Documentation/rev-list-options.txt`. These filters are typically useful for
-operations such as creating packfiles or performing a partial clone. They are
-defined in `list-objects-filter-options.h`. For the purposes of this tutorial we
-will use the "tree:1" filter, which causes the walk to omit all trees and blobs
-which are not directly referenced by commits reachable from the commit in
-`pending` when the walk begins. (`pending` is the list of objects which need to
-be traversed during a walk; you can imagine a breadth-first tree traversal to
-help understand. In our case, that means we omit trees and blobs not directly
-referenced by `HEAD` or `HEAD`'s history, because we begin the walk with only
-`HEAD` in the `pending` list.)
-
-First, we'll need to `#include "list-objects-filter-options.h`" and set up the
-`struct list_objects_filter_options` at the top of the function.
-
-----
-static void walken_object_walk(struct rev_info *rev)
-{
-	struct list_objects_filter_options filter_options = {};
-
-	...
-----
-
-For now, we are not going to track the omitted objects, so we'll replace those
-parameters with `NULL`. For the sake of simplicity, we'll add a simple
-build-time branch to use our filter or not. Replace the line calling
-`traverse_commit_list()` with the following, which will remind us which kind of
-walk we've just performed:
-
-----
-	if (0) {
-		/* Unfiltered: */
-		trace_printf(_("Unfiltered object walk.\n"));
-		traverse_commit_list(rev, walken_show_commit,
-				walken_show_object, NULL);
-	} else {
-		trace_printf(
-			_("Filtered object walk with filterspec 'tree:1'.\n"));
-		parse_list_objects_filter(&filter_options, "tree:1");
-
-		traverse_commit_list_filtered(&filter_options, rev,
-			walken_show_commit, walken_show_object, NULL, NULL);
-	}
-----
-
-`struct list_objects_filter_options` is usually built directly from a command
-line argument, so the module provides an easy way to build one from a string.
-Even though we aren't taking user input right now, we can still build one with
-a hardcoded string using `parse_list_objects_filter()`.
-
-With the filter spec "tree:1", we are expecting to see _only_ the root tree for
-each commit; therefore, the tree object count should be less than or equal to
-the number of commits. (For an example of why that's true: `git commit --revert`
-points to the same tree object as its grandparent.)
-
-=== Counting Omitted Objects
-
-We also have the capability to enumerate all objects which were omitted by a
-filter, like with `git log --filter=<spec> --filter-print-omitted`. Asking
-`traverse_commit_list_filtered()` to populate the `omitted` list means that our
-object walk does not perform any better than an unfiltered object walk; all
-reachable objects are walked in order to populate the list.
-
-First, add the `struct oidset` and related items we will use to iterate it:
-
-----
-static void walken_object_walk(
-	...
-
-	struct oidset omitted;
-	struct oidset_iter oit;
-	struct object_id *oid = NULL;
-	int omitted_count = 0;
-	oidset_init(&omitted, 0);
-
-	...
-----
-
-Modify the call to `traverse_commit_list_filtered()` to include your `omitted`
-object:
-
-----
-	...
-
-		traverse_commit_list_filtered(&filter_options, rev,
-			walken_show_commit, walken_show_object, NULL, &omitted);
-
-	...
-----
-
-Then, after your traversal, the `oidset` traversal is pretty straightforward.
-Count all the objects within and modify the print statement:
-
-----
-	/* Count the omitted objects. */
-	oidset_iter_init(&omitted, &oit);
-
-	while ((oid = oidset_iter_next(&oit)))
-		omitted_count++;
-
-	printf("commits %d\nblobs %d\ntags %d\ntrees%d\nomitted %d\n",
-		commit_count, blob_count, tag_count, tree_count, omitted_count);
-----
-
-By running your walk with and without the filter, you should find that the total
-object count in each case is identical. You can also time each invocation of
-the `walken` subcommand, with and without `omitted` being passed in, to confirm
-to yourself the runtime impact of tracking all omitted objects.
-
-=== Changing the Order
-
-Finally, let's demonstrate that you can also reorder walks of all objects, not
-just walks of commits. First, we'll make our handlers chattier - modify
-`walken_show_commit()` and `walken_show_object()` to print the object as they
-go:
-
-----
-static void walken_show_commit(struct commit *cmt, void *buf)
-{
-	trace_printf("commit: %s\n", oid_to_hex(&cmt->object.oid));
-	commit_count++;
-}
-
-static void walken_show_object(struct object *obj, const char *str, void *buf)
-{
-	trace_printf("%s: %s\n", type_name(obj->type), oid_to_hex(&obj->oid));
-
-	...
-}
-----
-
-NOTE: Since we will be examining this output directly as humans, we'll use
-`trace_printf()` here. Additionally, since this change introduces a significant
-number of printed lines, using `trace_printf()` will allow us to easily silence
-those lines without having to recompile.
-
-(Leave the counter increment logic in place.)
-
-With only that change, run again (but save yourself some scrollback):
-
-----
-$ GIT_TRACE=1 ./bin-wrappers/git walken | head -n 10
-----
-
-Take a look at the top commit with `git show` and the object ID you printed; it
-should be the same as the output of `git show HEAD`.
-
-Next, let's change a setting on our `struct rev_info` within
-`walken_object_walk()`. Find where you're changing the other settings on `rev`,
-such as `rev->tree_objects` and `rev->tree_blobs_in_commit_order`, and add the
-`reverse` setting at the bottom:
-
-----
-	...
-
-	rev->tree_objects = 1;
-	rev->blob_objects = 1;
-	rev->tag_objects = 1;
-	rev->tree_blobs_in_commit_order = 1;
-	rev->reverse = 1;
-
-	...
-----
-
-Now, run again, but this time, let's grab the last handful of objects instead
-of the first handful:
-
-----
-$ make
-$ GIT_TRACE=1 ./bin-wrappers git walken | tail -n 10
-----
-
-The last commit object given should have the same OID as the one we saw at the
-top before, and running `git show <oid>` with that OID should give you again
-the same results as `git show HEAD`. Furthermore, if you run and examine the
-first ten lines again (with `head` instead of `tail` like we did before applying
-the `reverse` setting), you should see that now the first commit printed is the
-initial commit, `e83c5163`.
-

-Git 2.19 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Updates since v2.18
--------------------
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * "git diff" compares the index and the working tree.  For paths
-   added with intent-to-add bit, the command shows the full contents
-   of them as added, but the paths themselves were not marked as new
-   files.  They are now shown as new by default.
-
-   "git apply" learned the "--intent-to-add" option so that an
-   otherwise working-tree-only application of a patch will add new
-   paths to the index marked with the "intent-to-add" bit.
-
- * "git grep" learned the "--column" option that gives not just the
-   line number but the column number of the hit.
-
- * The "-l" option in "git branch -l" is an unfortunate short-hand for
-   "--create-reflog", but many users, both old and new, somehow expect
-   it to be something else, perhaps "--list".  This step warns when "-l"
-   is used as a short-hand for "--create-reflog" and warns about the
-   future repurposing of the it when it is used.
-
- * The userdiff pattern for .php has been updated.
-
- * The content-transfer-encoding of the message "git send-email" sends
-   out by default was 8bit, which can cause trouble when there is an
-   overlong line to bust RFC 5322/2822 limit.  A new option 'auto' to
-   automatically switch to quoted-printable when there is such a line
-   in the payload has been introduced and is made the default.
-
- * "git checkout" and "git worktree add" learned to honor
-   checkout.defaultRemote when auto-vivifying a local branch out of a
-   remote tracking branch in a repository with multiple remotes that
-   have tracking branches that share the same names.
-   (merge 8d7b558bae ab/checkout-default-remote later to maint).
-
- * "git grep" learned the "--only-matching" option.
-
- * "git rebase --rebase-merges" mode now handles octopus merges as
-   well.
-
- * Add a server-side knob to skip commits in exponential/fibbonacci
-   stride in an attempt to cover wider swath of history with a smaller
-   number of iterations, potentially accepting a larger packfile
-   transfer, instead of going back one commit a time during common
-   ancestor discovery during the "git fetch" transaction.
-   (merge 42cc7485a2 jt/fetch-negotiator-skipping later to maint).
-
- * A new configuration variable core.usereplacerefs has been added,
-   primarily to help server installations that want to ignore the
-   replace mechanism altogether.
-
- * Teach "git tag -s" etc. a few configuration variables (gpg.format
-   that can be set to "openpgp" or "x509", and gpg.<format>.program
-   that is used to specify what program to use to deal with the format)
-   to allow x.509 certs with CMS via "gpgsm" to be used instead of
-   openpgp via "gnupg".
-
- * Many more strings are prepared for l10n.
-
- * "git p4 submit" learns to ask its own pre-submit hook if it should
-   continue with submitting.
-
- * The test performed at the receiving end of "git push" to prevent
-   bad objects from entering repository can be customized via
-   receive.fsck.* configuration variables; we now have gained a
-   counterpart to do the same on the "git fetch" side, with
-   fetch.fsck.* configuration variables.
-
- * "git pull --rebase=interactive" learned "i" as a short-hand for
-   "interactive".
-
- * "git instaweb" has been adjusted to run better with newer Apache on
-   RedHat based distros.
-
- * "git range-diff" is a reimplementation of "git tbdiff" that lets us
-   compare individual patches in two iterations of a topic.
-
- * The sideband code learned to optionally paint selected keywords at
-   the beginning of incoming lines on the receiving end.
-
- * "git branch --list" learned to take the default sort order from the
-   'branch.sort' configuration variable, just like "git tag --list"
-   pays attention to 'tag.sort'.
-
- * "git worktree" command learned "--quiet" option to make it less
-   verbose.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * The bulk of "git submodule foreach" has been rewritten in C.
-
- * The in-core "commit" object had an all-purpose "void *util" field,
-   which was tricky to use especially in library-ish part of the
-   code.  All of the existing uses of the field has been migrated to a
-   more dedicated "commit-slab" mechanism and the field is eliminated.
-
- * A less often used command "git show-index" has been modernized.
-   (merge fb3010c31f jk/show-index later to maint).
-
- * The conversion to pass "the_repository" and then "a_repository"
-   throughout the object access API continues.
-
- * Continuing with the idea to programmatically enumerate various
-   pieces of data required for command line completion, teach the
-   codebase to report the list of configuration variables
-   subcommands care about to help complete them.
-
- * Separate "rebase -p" codepath out of "rebase -i" implementation to
-   slim down the latter and make it easier to manage.
-
- * Make refspec parsing codepath more robust.
-
- * Some flaky tests have been fixed.
-
- * Continuing with the idea to programmatically enumerate various
-   pieces of data required for command line completion, the codebase
-   has been taught to enumerate options prefixed with "--no-" to
-   negate them.
-
- * Build and test procedure for netrc credential helper (in contrib/)
-   has been updated.
-
- * Remove unused function definitions and declarations from ewah
-   bitmap subsystem.
-
- * Code preparation to make "git p4" closer to be usable with Python 3.
-
- * Tighten the API to make it harder to misuse in-tree .gitmodules
-   file, even though it shares the same syntax with configuration
-   files, to read random configuration items from it.
-
- * "git fast-import" has been updated to avoid attempting to create
-   delta against a zero-byte-long string, which is pointless.
-
- * The codebase has been updated to compile cleanly with -pedantic
-   option.
-   (merge 2b647a05d7 bb/pedantic later to maint).
-
- * The character display width table has been updated to match the
-   latest Unicode standard.
-   (merge 570951eea2 bb/unicode-11-width later to maint).
-
- * test-lint now looks for broken use of "VAR=VAL shell_func" in test
-   scripts.
-
- * Conversion from uchar[40] to struct object_id continues.
-
- * Recent "security fix" to pay attention to contents of ".gitmodules"
-   while accepting "git push" was a bit overly strict than necessary,
-   which has been adjusted.
-
- * "git fsck" learns to make sure the optional commit-graph file is in
-   a sane state.
-
- * "git diff --color-moved" feature has further been tweaked.
-
- * Code restructuring and a small fix to transport protocol v2 during
-   fetching.
-
- * Parsing of -L[<N>][,[<M>]] parameters "git blame" and "git log"
-   take has been tweaked.
-
- * lookup_commit_reference() and friends have been updated to find
-   in-core object for a specific in-core repository instance.
-
- * Various glitches in the heuristics of merge-recursive strategy have
-   been documented in new tests.
-
- * "git fetch" learned a new option "--negotiation-tip" to limit the
-   set of commits it tells the other end as "have", to reduce wasted
-   bandwidth and cycles, which would be helpful when the receiving
-   repository has a lot of refs that have little to do with the
-   history at the remote it is fetching from.
-
- * For a large tree, the index needs to hold many cache entries
-   allocated on heap.  These cache entries are now allocated out of a
-   dedicated memory pool to amortize malloc(3) overhead.
-
- * Tests to cover various conflicting cases have been added for
-   merge-recursive.
-
- * Tests to cover conflict cases that involve submodules have been
-   added for merge-recursive.
-
- * Look for broken "&&" chains that are hidden in subshell, many of
-   which have been found and corrected.
-
- * The singleton commit-graph in-core instance is made per in-core
-   repository instance.
-
- * "make DEVELOPER=1 DEVOPTS=pedantic" allows developers to compile
-   with -pedantic option, which may catch more problematic program
-   constructs and potential bugs.
-
- * Preparatory code to later add json output for telemetry data has
-   been added.
-
- * Update the way we use Coccinelle to find out-of-style code that
-   need to be modernised.
-
- * It is too easy to misuse system API functions such as strcat();
-   these selected functions are now forbidden in this codebase and
-   will cause a compilation failure.
-
- * Add a script (in contrib/) to help users of VSCode work better with
-   our codebase.
-
- * The Travis CI scripts were taught to ship back the test data from
-   failed tests.
-   (merge aea8879a6a sg/travis-retrieve-trash-upon-failure later to maint).
-
- * The parse-options machinery learned to refrain from enclosing
-   placeholder string inside a "<bra" and "ket>" pair automatically
-   without PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP.  Existing help text for option
-   arguments that are not formatted correctly have been identified and
-   fixed.
-   (merge 5f0df44cd7 rs/parse-opt-lithelp later to maint).
-
- * Noiseword "extern" has been removed from function decls in the
-   header files.
-
- * A few atoms like %(objecttype) and %(objectsize) in the format
-   specifier of "for-each-ref --format=<format>" can be filled without
-   getting the full contents of the object, but just with the object
-   header.  These cases have been optimized by calling
-   oid_object_info() API (instead of reading and inspecting the data).
-
- * The end result of documentation update has been made to be
-   inspected more easily to help developers.
-
- * The API to iterate over all objects learned to optionally list
-   objects in the order they appear in packfiles, which helps locality
-   of access if the caller accesses these objects while as objects are
-   enumerated.
-
- * Improve built-in facility to catch broken &&-chain in the tests.
-
- * The more library-ish parts of the codebase learned to work on the
-   in-core index-state instance that is passed in by their callers,
-   instead of always working on the singleton "the_index" instance.
-
- * A test prerequisite defined by various test scripts with slightly
-   different semantics has been consolidated into a single copy and
-   made into a lazily defined one.
-   (merge 6ec633059a wc/make-funnynames-shared-lazy-prereq later to maint).
-
- * After a partial clone, repeated fetches from promisor remote would
-   have accumulated many packfiles marked with .promisor bit without
-   getting them coalesced into fewer packfiles, hurting performance.
-   "git repack" now learned to repack them.
-
- * Partially revert the support for multiple hash functions to regain
-   hash comparison performance; we'd think of a way to do this better
-   in the next cycle.
-
- * "git help --config" (which is used in command line completion)
-   missed the configuration variables not described in the main
-   config.txt file but are described in another file that is included
-   by it, which has been corrected.
-
- * The test linter code has learned that the end of here-doc mark
-   "EOF" can be quoted in a double-quote pair, not just in a
-   single-quote pair.
-
-
-Fixes since v2.18
------------------
-
- * "git remote update" can take both a single remote nickname and a
-   nickname for remote groups, and the completion script (in contrib/)
-   has been taught about it.
-   (merge 9cd4382ad5 ls/complete-remote-update-names later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch --shallow-since=<cutoff>" that specifies the cut-off
-   point that is newer than the existing history used to end up
-   grabbing the entire history.  Such a request now errors out.
-   (merge e34de73c56 nd/reject-empty-shallow-request later to maint).
-
- * Fix for 2.17-era regression around `core.safecrlf`.
-   (merge 6cb09125be as/safecrlf-quiet-fix later to maint).
-
- * The recent addition of "partial clone" experimental feature kicked
-   in when it shouldn't, namely, when there is no partial-clone filter
-   defined even if extensions.partialclone is set.
-   (merge cac1137dc4 jh/partial-clone later to maint).
-
- * "git send-pack --signed" (hence "git push --signed" over the http
-   transport) did not read user ident from the config mechanism to
-   determine whom to sign the push certificate as, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge d067d98887 ms/send-pack-honor-config later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch-pack --all" used to unnecessarily fail upon seeing an
-   annotated tag that points at an object other than a commit.
-   (merge c12c9df527 jk/fetch-all-peeled-fix later to maint).
-
- * When user edits the patch in "git add -p" and the user's editor is
-   set to strip trailing whitespaces indiscriminately, an empty line
-   that is unchanged in the patch would become completely empty
-   (instead of a line with a sole SP on it).  The code introduced in
-   Git 2.17 timeframe failed to parse such a patch, but now it learned
-   to notice the situation and cope with it.
-   (merge f4d35a6b49 pw/add-p-recount later to maint).
-
- * The code to try seeing if a fetch is necessary in a submodule
-   during a fetch with --recurse-submodules got confused when the path
-   to the submodule was changed in the range of commits in the
-   superproject, sometimes showing "(null)".  This has been corrected.
-
- * Bugfix for "rebase -i" corner case regression.
-   (merge a9279c6785 pw/rebase-i-keep-reword-after-conflict later to maint).
-
- * Recently added "--base" option to "git format-patch" command did
-   not correctly generate prereq patch ids.

-
- * POSIX portability fix in Makefile to fix a glitch introduced a few
-   releases ago.
-   (merge 6600054e9b dj/runtime-prefix later to maint).
-
- * "git filter-branch" when used with the "--state-branch" option
-   still attempted to rewrite the commits whose filtered result is
-   known from the previous attempt (which is recorded on the state
-   branch); the command has been corrected not to waste cycles doing
-   so.
-   (merge 709cfe848a mb/filter-branch-optim later to maint).
-
- * Clarify that setting core.ignoreCase to deviate from reality would
-   not turn a case-incapable filesystem into a case-capable one.
-   (merge 48294b512a ms/core-icase-doc later to maint).
-
- * "fsck.skipList" did not prevent a blob object listed there from
-   being inspected for is contents (e.g. we recently started to
-   inspect the contents of ".gitmodules" for certain malicious
-   patterns), which has been corrected.
-   (merge fb16287719 rj/submodule-fsck-skip later to maint).
-
- * "git checkout --recurse-submodules another-branch" did not report
-   in which submodule it failed to update the working tree, which
-   resulted in an unhelpful error message.
-   (merge ba95d4e4bd sb/submodule-move-head-error-msg later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase" behaved slightly differently depending on which one of
-   the three backends gets used; this has been documented and an
-   effort to make them more uniform has begun.
-   (merge b00bf1c9a8 en/rebase-consistency later to maint).
-
- * The "--ignore-case" option of "git for-each-ref" (and its friends)
-   did not work correctly, which has been fixed.
-   (merge e674eb2528 jk/for-each-ref-icase later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch" failed to correctly validate the set of objects it
-   received when making a shallow history deeper, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge cf1e7c0770 jt/connectivity-check-after-unshallow later to maint).
-
- * Partial clone support of "git clone" has been updated to correctly
-   validate the objects it receives from the other side.  The server
-   side has been corrected to send objects that are directly
-   requested, even if they may match the filtering criteria (e.g. when
-   doing a "lazy blob" partial clone).
-   (merge a7e67c11b8 jt/partial-clone-fsck-connectivity later to maint).
-
- * Handling of an empty range by "git cherry-pick" was inconsistent
-   depending on how the range ended up to be empty, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge c5e358d073 jk/empty-pick-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git reset --merge" (hence "git merge ---abort") and "git reset --hard"
-   had trouble working correctly in a sparsely checked out working
-   tree after a conflict, which has been corrected.
-   (merge b33fdfc34c mk/merge-in-sparse-checkout later to maint).
-
- * Correct a broken use of "VAR=VAL shell_func" in a test.
-   (merge 650161a277 jc/t3404-one-shot-export-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git rev-parse ':/substring'" did not consider the history leading
-   only to HEAD when looking for a commit with the given substring,
-   when the HEAD is detached.  This has been fixed.
-   (merge 6b3351e799 wc/find-commit-with-pattern-on-detached-head later to maint).
-
- * Build doc update for Windows.
-   (merge ede8d89bb1 nd/command-list later to maint).
-
- * core.commentchar is now honored when preparing the list of commits
-   to replay in "rebase -i".
-
- * "git pull --rebase" on a corrupt HEAD caused a segfault.  In
-   general we substitute an empty tree object when running the in-core
-   equivalent of the diff-index command, and the codepath has been
-   corrected to do so as well to fix this issue.
-   (merge 3506dc9445 jk/has-uncommitted-changes-fix later to maint).
-
- * httpd tests saw occasional breakage due to the way its access log
-   gets inspected by the tests, which has been updated to make them
-   less flaky.
-   (merge e8b3b2e275 sg/httpd-test-unflake later to maint).
-
- * Tests to cover more D/F conflict cases have been added for
-   merge-recursive.
-
- * "git gc --auto" opens file descriptors for the packfiles before
-   spawning "git repack/prune", which would upset Windows that does
-   not want a process to work on a file that is open by another
-   process.  The issue has been worked around.
-   (merge 12e73a3ce4 kg/gc-auto-windows-workaround later to maint).
-
- * The recursive merge strategy did not properly ensure there was no
-   change between HEAD and the index before performing its operation,
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge 55f39cf755 en/dirty-merge-fixes later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase" started exporting GIT_DIR environment variable and
-   exposing it to hook scripts when part of it got rewritten in C.
-   Instead of matching the old scripted Porcelains' behaviour,
-   compensate by also exporting GIT_WORK_TREE environment as well to
-   lessen the damage.  This can harm existing hooks that want to
-   operate on different repository, but the current behaviour is
-   already broken for them anyway.
-   (merge ab5e67d751 bc/sequencer-export-work-tree-as-well later to maint).
-
- * "git send-email" when using in a batched mode that limits the
-   number of messages sent in a single SMTP session lost the contents
-   of the variable used to choose between tls/ssl, unable to send the
-   second and later batches, which has been fixed.
-   (merge 636f3d7ac5 jm/send-email-tls-auth-on-batch later to maint).
-
- * The lazy clone support had a few places where missing but promised
-   objects were not correctly tolerated, which have been fixed.
-
- * One of the "diff --color-moved" mode "dimmed_zebra" that was named
-   in an unusual way has been deprecated and replaced by
-   "dimmed-zebra".
-   (merge e3f2f5f9cd es/diff-color-moved-fix later to maint).
-
- * The wire-protocol v2 relies on the client to send "ref prefixes" to
-   limit the bandwidth spent on the initial ref advertisement.  "git
-   clone" when learned to speak v2 forgot to do so, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 402c47d939 bw/clone-ref-prefixes later to maint).
-
- * "git diff --histogram" had a bad memory usage pattern, which has
-   been rearranged to reduce the peak usage.
-   (merge 79cb2ebb92 sb/histogram-less-memory later to maint).
-
- * Code clean-up to use size_t/ssize_t when they are the right type.
-   (merge 7726d360b5 jk/size-t later to maint).
-
- * The wire-protocol v2 relies on the client to send "ref prefixes" to
-   limit the bandwidth spent on the initial ref advertisement.  "git
-   fetch $remote branch:branch" that asks tags that point into the
-   history leading to the "branch" automatically followed sent to
-   narrow prefix and broke the tag following, which has been fixed.
-   (merge 2b554353a5 jt/tag-following-with-proto-v2-fix later to maint).
-
- * When the sparse checkout feature is in use, "git cherry-pick" and
-   other mergy operations lost the skip_worktree bit when a path that
-   is excluded from checkout requires content level merge, which is
-   resolved as the same as the HEAD version, without materializing the
-   merge result in the working tree, which made the path appear as
-   deleted.  This has been corrected by preserving the skip_worktree
-   bit (and not materializing the file in the working tree).
-   (merge 2b75fb601c en/merge-recursive-skip-fix later to maint).
-
- * The "author-script" file "git rebase -i" creates got broken when
-   we started to move the command away from shell script, which is
-   getting fixed now.
-   (merge 5522bbac20 es/rebase-i-author-script-fix later to maint).
-
- * The automatic tree-matching in "git merge -s subtree" was broken 5
-   years ago and nobody has noticed since then, which is now fixed.
-   (merge 2ec4150713 jk/merge-subtree-heuristics later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch $there refs/heads/s" ought to fetch the tip of the
-   branch 's', but when "refs/heads/refs/heads/s", i.e. a branch whose
-   name is "refs/heads/s" exists at the same time, fetched that one
-   instead by mistake.  This has been corrected to honor the usual
-   disambiguation rules for abbreviated refnames.
-   (merge 60650a48c0 jt/refspec-dwim-precedence-fix later to maint).
-
- * Futureproofing a helper function that can easily be misused.
-   (merge 65bb21e77e es/want-color-fd-defensive later to maint).
-
- * The http-backend (used for smart-http transport) used to slurp the
-   whole input until EOF, without paying attention to CONTENT_LENGTH
-   that is supplied in the environment and instead expecting the Web
-   server to close the input stream.  This has been fixed.
-   (merge eebfe40962 mk/http-backend-content-length later to maint).
-
- * "git merge --abort" etc. did not clean things up properly when
-   there were conflicted entries in the index in certain order that
-   are involved in D/F conflicts.  This has been corrected.
-   (merge ad3762042a en/abort-df-conflict-fixes later to maint).
-
- * "git diff --indent-heuristic" had a bad corner case performance.
-   (merge 301ef85401 sb/indent-heuristic-optim later to maint).
-
- * The "--exec" option to "git rebase --rebase-merges" placed the exec
-   commands at wrong places, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git verify-tag" and "git verify-commit" have been taught to use
-   the exit status of underlying "gpg --verify" to signal bad or
-   untrusted signature they found.
-   (merge 4e5dc9ca17 jc/gpg-status later to maint).
-
- * "git mergetool" stopped and gave an extra prompt to continue after
-   the last path has been handled, which did not make much sense.
-   (merge d651a54b8a ng/mergetool-lose-final-prompt later to maint).
-
- * Among the three codepaths we use O_APPEND to open a file for
-   appending, one used for writing GIT_TRACE output requires O_APPEND
-   implementation that behaves sensibly when multiple processes are
-   writing to the same file.  POSIX emulation used in the Windows port
-   has been updated to improve in this area.
-   (merge d641097589 js/mingw-o-append later to maint).
-
- * "git pull --rebase -v" in a repository with a submodule barfed as
-   an intermediate process did not understand what "-v(erbose)" flag
-   meant, which has been fixed.
-   (merge e84c3cf3dc sb/pull-rebase-submodule later to maint).
-
- * Recent update to "git config" broke updating variable in a
-   subsection, which has been corrected.
-   (merge bff7df7a87 sb/config-write-fix later to maint).
-
- * When "git rebase -i" is told to squash two or more commits into
-   one, it labeled the log message for each commit with its number.
-   It correctly called the first one "1st commit", but the next one
-   was "commit #1", which was off-by-one.  This has been corrected.
-   (merge dd2e36ebac pw/rebase-i-squash-number-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase -i", when a 'merge <branch>' insn in its todo list
-   fails, segfaulted, which has been (minimally) corrected.
-   (merge bc9238bb09 pw/rebase-i-merge-segv-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git cherry-pick --quit" failed to remove CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even
-   though we won't be in a cherry-pick session after it returns, which
-   has been corrected.
-   (merge 3e7dd99208 nd/cherry-pick-quit-fix later to maint).
-
- * In a recent update in 2.18 era, "git pack-objects" started
-   producing a larger than necessary packfiles by missing
-   opportunities to use large deltas.  This has been corrected.
-
- * The meaning of the possible values the "core.checkStat"
-   configuration variable can take were not adequately documented,
-   which has been fixed.
-   (merge 9bf5d4c4e2 nd/config-core-checkstat-doc later to maint).
-
- * Recent "git rebase -i" update started to write bogusly formatted
-   author-script, with a matching broken reading code.  These are
-   fixed.
-
- * Recent addition of "directory rename" heuristics to the
-   merge-recursive backend makes the command susceptible to false
-   positives and false negatives.  In the context of "git am -3",
-   which does not know about surrounding unmodified paths and thus
-   cannot inform the merge machinery about the full trees involved,
-   this risk is particularly severe.  As such, the heuristic is
-   disabled for "git am -3" to keep the machinery "more stupid but
-   predictable".
-
- * "git merge-base" in 2.19-rc1 has performance regression when the
-   (experimental) commit-graph feature is in use, which has been
-   mitigated.
-
- * Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

-Git v2.19.2 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-Fixes since v2.19.1
--------------------
-
- * "git interpret-trailers" and its underlying machinery had a buggy
-   code that attempted to ignore patch text after commit log message,
-   which triggered in various codepaths that will always get the log
-   message alone and never get such an input.
-
- * "git rebase -i" did not clear the state files correctly when a run
-   of "squash/fixup" is aborted and then the user manually amended the
-   commit instead, which has been corrected.
-
- * When fsmonitor is in use, after operation on submodules updates
-   .gitmodules, we lost track of the fact that we did so and relied on
-   stale fsmonitor data.
-
- * Fix for a long-standing bug that leaves the index file corrupt when
-   it shrinks during a partial commit.
-
- * Further fix for O_APPEND emulation on Windows
-
- * A corner case bugfix in "git rerere" code.
-
- * "git add ':(attr:foo)'" is not supported and is supposed to be
-   rejected while the command line arguments are parsed, but we fail
-   to reject such a command line upfront.
-
- * "git rebase" etc. in Git 2.19 fails to abort when given an empty
-   commit log message as result of editing, which has been corrected.
-
- * The code to backfill objects in lazily cloned repository did not
-   work correctly, which has been corrected.
-
- * Update error messages given by "git remote" and make them consistent.
-
- * "git update-ref" learned to make both "--no-deref" and "--stdin"
-   work at the same time.
-
- * Recently added "range-diff" had a corner-case bug to cause it
-   segfault, which has been corrected.
-
- * The recently introduced commit-graph auxiliary data is incompatible
-   with mechanisms such as replace & grafts that "breaks" immutable
-   nature of the object reference relationship.  Disable optimizations
-   based on its use (and updating existing commit-graph) when these
-   incompatible features are in use in the repository.
-
- * The mailmap file update.
-
- * The code in "git status" sometimes hit an assertion failure.  This
-   was caused by a structure that was reused without cleaning the data
-   used for the first run, which has been corrected.
-
- * A corner-case bugfix.
-
- * A partial clone that is configured to lazily fetch missing objects
-   will on-demand issue a "git fetch" request to the originating
-   repository to fill not-yet-obtained objects.  The request has been
-   optimized for requesting a tree object (and not the leaf blob
-   objects contained in it) by telling the originating repository that
-   no blobs are needed.
-
- * The codepath to support the experimental split-index mode had
-   remaining "racily clean" issues fixed.
-
- * "git log --graph" showing an octopus merge sometimes miscounted the
-   number of display columns it is consuming to show the merge and its
-   parent commits, which has been corrected.
-
- * The implementation of run_command() API on the UNIX platforms had a
-   bug that caused a command not on $PATH to be found in the current
-   directory.
-
- * A mutex used in "git pack-objects" were not correctly initialized
-   and this caused "git repack" to dump core on Windows.
-
- * Under certain circumstances, "git diff D:/a/b/c D:/a/b/d" on
-   Windows would strip initial parts from the paths because they
-   were not recognized as absolute, which has been corrected.
-
- * The receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead codepath kicked in even
-   when the push should have been rejected due to other reasons, such
-   as it does not fast-forward or the update-hook rejects it, which
-   has been corrected.
-
- * "git repack" in a shallow clone did not correctly update the
-   shallow points in the repository, leading to a repository that
-   does not pass fsck.
-
- * Operations on promisor objects make sense in the context of only a
-   small subset of the commands that internally use the revisions
-   machinery, but the "--exclude-promisor-objects" option were taken
-   and led to nonsense results by commands like "log", to which it
-   didn't make much sense.  This has been corrected.
-
- * The "container" mode of TravisCI is going away.  Our .travis.yml
-   file is getting prepared for the transition.
-
- * Our test scripts can now take the '-V' option as a synonym for the
-   '--verbose-log' option.
-
- * A regression in Git 2.12 era made "git fsck" fall into an infinite
-   loop while processing truncated loose objects.
-
-Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

-Git 2.20 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Backward Compatibility Notes
-----------------------------
-
- * "git branch -l <foo>" used to be a way to ask a reflog to be
-   created while creating a new branch, but that is no longer the
-   case.  It is a short-hand for "git branch --list <foo>" now.
-
- * "git push" into refs/tags/* hierarchy is rejected without getting
-   forced, but "git fetch" (misguidedly) used the "fast forwarding"
-   rule used for the refs/heads/* hierarchy; this has been corrected,
-   which means some fetches of tags that did not fail with older
-   version of Git will fail without "--force" with this version.
-
- * "git help -a" now gives verbose output (same as "git help -av").
-   Those who want the old output may say "git help --no-verbose -a"..
-
- * "git cpn --help", when "cpn" is an alias to, say, "cherry-pick -n",
-   reported only the alias expansion of "cpn" in earlier versions of
-   Git.  It now runs "git cherry-pick --help" to show the manual page
-   of the command, while sending the alias expansion to the standard
-   error stream.
-
- * "git send-email" learned to grab address-looking string on any
-   trailer whose name ends with "-by". This is a backward-incompatible
-   change.  Adding "--suppress-cc=misc-by" on the command line, or
-   setting sendemail.suppresscc configuration variable to "misc-by",
-   can be used to disable this behaviour.
-
-
-Updates since v2.19
--------------------
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * Running "git clone" against a project that contain two files with
-   pathnames that differ only in cases on a case insensitive
-   filesystem would result in one of the files lost because the
-   underlying filesystem is incapable of holding both at the same
-   time.  An attempt is made to detect such a case and warn.
-
- * "git checkout -b newbranch [HEAD]" should not have to do as much as
-   checking out a commit different from HEAD.  An attempt is made to
-   optimize this special case.
-
- * "git rev-list --stdin </dev/null" used to be an error; it now shows
-   no output without an error.  "git rev-list --stdin --default HEAD"
-   still falls back to the given default when nothing is given on the
-   standard input.
-
- * Lift code from GitHub to restrict delta computation so that an
-   object that exists in one fork is not made into a delta against
-   another object that does not appear in the same forked repository.
-
- * "git format-patch" learned new "--interdiff" and "--range-diff"
-   options to explain the difference between this version and the
-   previous attempt in the cover letter (or after the three-dashes as
-   a comment).
-
- * "git mailinfo" used in "git am" learned to make a best-effort
-   recovery of a patch corrupted by MUA that sends text/plain with
-   format=flawed option.
-   (merge 3aa4d81f88 rs/mailinfo-format-flowed later to maint).
-
- * The rules used by "git push" and "git fetch" to determine if a ref
-   can or cannot be updated were inconsistent; specifically, fetching
-   to update existing tags were allowed even though tags are supposed
-   to be unmoving anchoring points.  "git fetch" was taught to forbid
-   updates to existing tags without the "--force" option.
-
- * "git multi-pack-index" learned to detect corruption in the .midx
-   file it uses, and this feature has been integrated into "git fsck".
-
- * Generation of (experimental) commit-graph files have so far been
-   fairly silent, even though it takes noticeable amount of time in a
-   meaningfully large repository.  The users will now see progress
-   output.
-
- * The minimum version of Windows supported by Windows port of Git is
-   now set to Vista.
-
- * The completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete a handful of
-   options "git stash list" command takes.
-
- * The completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git fetch
-   --multiple" only takes remote names as arguments and no refspecs.
-
- * "git status" learns to show progress bar when refreshing the index
-   takes a long time.
-   (merge ae9af12287 nd/status-refresh-progress later to maint).
-
- * "git help -a" and "git help -av" give different pieces of
-   information, and generally the "verbose" version is more friendly
-   to the new users.  "git help -a" by default now uses the more
-   verbose output (with "--no-verbose", you can go back to the
-   original).  Also "git help -av" now lists aliases and external
-   commands, which it did not used to.
-
- * Unlike "grep", "git grep" by default recurses to the whole tree.
-   The command learned "git grep --recursive" option, so that "git
-   grep --no-recursive" can serve as a synonym to setting the
-   max-depth to 0.
-
- * When pushing into a repository that borrows its objects from an
-   alternate object store, "git receive-pack" that responds to the
-   push request on the other side lists the tips of refs in the
-   alternate to reduce the amount of objects transferred.  This
-   sometimes is detrimental when the number of refs in the alternate
-   is absurdly large, in which case the bandwidth saved in potentially
-   fewer objects transferred is wasted in excessively large ref
-   advertisement.  The alternate refs that are advertised are now
-   configurable with a pair of configuration variables.
-
- * "git cmd --help" when "cmd" is aliased used to only say "cmd is
-   aliased to ...".  Now it shows that to the standard error stream
-   and runs "git $cmd --help" where $cmd is the first word of the
-   alias expansion.
-
- * The documentation of "git gc" has been updated to mention that it
-   is no longer limited to "pruning away cruft" but also updates
-   ancillary files like commit-graph as a part of repository
-   optimization.
-
- * "git p4 unshelve" improvements.
-
- * The logic to select the default user name and e-mail on Windows has
-   been improved.
-   (merge 501afcb8b0 js/mingw-default-ident later to maint).
-
- * The "rev-list --filter" feature learned to exclude all trees via
-   "tree:0" filter.
-
- * "git send-email" learned to grab address-looking string on any
-   trailer whose name ends with "-by"; --suppress-cc=misc-by on the
-   command line, or setting sendemail.suppresscc configuration
-   variable to "misc-by", can be used to disable this behaviour.
-
- * "git mergetool" learned to take the "--[no-]gui" option, just like
-   "git difftool" does.
-
- * "git rebase -i" learned a new insn, 'break', that the user can
-   insert in the to-do list.  Upon hitting it, the command returns
-   control back to the user.
-
- * New "--pretty=format:" placeholders %GF and %GP that show the GPG
-   key fingerprints have been invented.
-
- * On platforms with recent cURL library, http.sslBackend configuration
-   variable can be used to choose a different SSL backend at runtime.
-   The Windows port uses this mechanism to switch between OpenSSL and
-   Secure Channel while talking over the HTTPS protocol.
-
- * "git send-email" learned to disable SMTP authentication via the
-   "--smtp-auth=none" option, even when the smtp username is given
-   (which turns the authentication on by default).
-
- * A fourth class of configuration files (in addition to the
-   traditional "system wide", "per user in the $HOME directory" and
-   "per repository in the $GIT_DIR/config") has been introduced so
-   that different worktrees that share the same repository (hence the
-   same $GIT_DIR/config file) can use different customization.
-
- * A pattern with '**' that does not have a slash on either side used
-   to be an invalid one, but the code now treats such double-asterisks
-   the same way as two normal asterisks that happen to be adjacent to
-   each other.
-   (merge e5bbe09e88 nd/wildmatch-double-asterisk later to maint).
-
- * The "--no-patch" option, which can be used to get a high-level
-   overview without the actual line-by-line patch difference shown, of
-   the "range-diff" command was earlier broken, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * The recently merged "rebase in C" has an escape hatch to use the
-   scripted version when necessary, but it hasn't been documented,
-   which has been corrected.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * Developer builds now use -Wunused-function compilation option.
-
- * One of our CI tests to run with "unusual/experimental/random"
-   settings now also uses commit-graph and midx.
-
- * When there are too many packfiles in a repository (which is not
-   recommended), looking up an object in these would require
-   consulting many pack .idx files; a new mechanism to have a single
-   file that consolidates all of these .idx files is introduced.
-
- * "git submodule update" is getting rewritten piece-by-piece into C.
-
- * The code for computing history reachability has been shuffled,
-   obtained a bunch of new tests to cover them, and then being
-   improved.
-
- * The unpack_trees() API used in checking out a branch and merging
-   walks one or more trees along with the index.  When the cache-tree
-   in the index tells us that we are walking a tree whose flattened
-   contents is known (i.e. matches a span in the index), as linearly
-   scanning a span in the index is much more efficient than having to
-   open tree objects recursively and listing their entries, the walk
-   can be optimized, which has been done.
-
- * When creating a thin pack, which allows objects to be made into a
-   delta against another object that is not in the resulting pack but
-   is known to be present on the receiving end, the code learned to
-   take advantage of the reachability bitmap; this allows the server
-   to send a delta against a base beyond the "boundary" commit.
-
- * spatch transformation to replace boolean uses of !hashcmp() to
-   newly introduced oideq() is added, and applied, to regain
-   performance lost due to support of multiple hash algorithms.
-
- * Fix a bug in which the same path could be registered under multiple
-   worktree entries if the path was missing (for instance, was removed
-   manually).  Also, as a convenience, expand the number of cases in
-   which --force is applicable.
-
- * Split Documentation/config.txt for easier maintenance.
-   (merge 6014363f0b nd/config-split later to maint).
-
- * Test helper binaries clean-up.
-   (merge c9a1f4161f nd/test-tool later to maint).
-
- * Various tests have been updated to make it easier to swap the
-   hash function used for object identification.
-   (merge ae0c89d41b bc/hash-independent-tests later to maint).
-
- * Update fsck.skipList implementation and documentation.
-   (merge 371a655074 ab/fsck-skiplist later to maint).
-
- * An alias that expands to another alias has so far been forbidden,
-   but now it is allowed to create such an alias.
-
- * Various test scripts have been updated for style and also correct
-   handling of exit status of various commands.
-
- * "gc --auto" ended up calling exit(-1) upon error, which has been
-   corrected to use exit(1).  Also the error reporting behaviour when
-   daemonized has been updated to exit with zero status when stopping
-   due to a previously discovered error (which implies there is no
-   point running gc to improve the situation); we used to exit with
-   failure in such a case.
-
- * Various codepaths in the core-ish part learned to work on an
-   arbitrary in-core index structure, not necessarily the default
-   instance "the_index".
-   (merge b3c7eef9b0 nd/the-index later to maint).
-
- * Code clean-up in the internal machinery used by "git status" and
-   "git commit --dry-run".
-   (merge 73ba5d78b4 ss/wt-status-committable later to maint).
-
- * Some environment variables that control the runtime options of Git
-   used during tests are getting renamed for consistency.
-   (merge 4231d1ba99 bp/rename-test-env-var later to maint).
-
- * A pair of new extensions to the index file have been introduced.
-   They allow the index file to be read in parallel for performance.
-
- * The oidset API was built on top of the oidmap API which in turn is
-   on the hashmap API.  Replace the implementation to build on top of
-   the khash API and gain performance.
-
- * Over some transports, fetching objects with an exact commit object
-   name can be done without first seeing the ref advertisements.  The
-   code has been optimized to exploit this.
-
- * In a partial clone that will lazily be hydrated from the
-   originating repository, we generally want to avoid "does this
-   object exist (locally)?" on objects that we deliberately omitted
-   when we created the clone.  The cache-tree codepath (which is used
-   to write a tree object out of the index) however insisted that the
-   object exists, even for paths that are outside of the partial
-   checkout area.  The code has been updated to avoid such a check.
-
- * To help developers, an EditorConfig file that attempts to follow
-   the project convention has been added.
-   (merge b548d698a0 bc/editorconfig later to maint).
-
- * The result of coverage test can be combined with "git blame" to
-   check the test coverage of code introduced recently with a new
-   'coverage-diff' tool (in contrib/).
-   (merge 783faedd65 ds/coverage-diff later to maint).
-
- * An experiment to fuzz test a few areas, hopefully we can gain more
-   coverage to various areas.
-
- * More codepaths are moving away from hardcoded hash sizes.
-
- * The way the Windows port figures out the current directory has been
-   improved.
-
- * The way DLLs are loaded on the Windows port has been improved.
-
- * Some tests have been reorganized and renamed; "ls t/" now gives a
-   better overview of what is tested for these scripts than before.
-
- * "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" have been reimplemented in C.
-
- * Windows port learned to use nano-second resolution file timestamps.
-
- * The overly large Documentation/config.txt file have been split into
-   million little pieces.  This potentially allows each individual piece
-   to be included into the manual page of the command it affects more easily.
-
- * Replace three string-list instances used as look-up tables in "git
-   fetch" with hashmaps.
-
- * Unify code to read the author-script used in "git am" and the
-   commands that use the sequencer machinery, e.g. "git rebase -i".
-
- * In preparation to the day when we can deprecate and remove the
-   "rebase -p", make sure we can skip and later remove tests for
-   it.
-
- * The history traversal used to implement the tag-following has been
-   optimized by introducing a new helper.
-
- * The helper function to refresh the cached stat information in the
-   in-core index has learned to perform the lstat() part of the
-   operation in parallel on multi-core platforms.
-
- * The code to traverse objects for reachability, used to decide what
-   objects are unreferenced and expendable, have been taught to also
-   consider per-worktree refs of other worktrees as starting points to
-   prevent data loss.
-
- * "git add" needs to internally run "diff-files" equivalent, and the
-   codepath learned the same optimization as "diff-files" has to run
-   lstat(2) in parallel to find which paths have been updated in the
-   working tree.
-
- * The procedure to install dependencies before testing at Travis CI
-   is getting revamped for both simplicity and flexibility, taking
-   advantage of the recent move to the vm-based environment.
-
- * The support for format-patch (and send-email) by the command-line
-   completion script (in contrib/) has been simplified a bit.
-
- * The revision walker machinery learned to take advantage of the
-   commit generation numbers stored in the commit-graph file.
-
- * The codebase has been cleaned up to reduce "#ifndef NO_PTHREADS".
-
- * The way -lcurl library gets linked has been simplified by taking
-   advantage of the fact that we can just ask curl-config command how.
-
- * Various functions have been audited for "-Wunused-parameter" warnings
-   and bugs in them got fixed.
-
- * A sanity check for start-up sequence has been added in the config
-   API codepath.
-
- * The build procedure to link for fuzzing test has been made
-   customizable with a new Makefile variable.
-
- * The way "git rebase" parses and forwards the command line options
-   meant for underlying "git am" has been revamped, which fixed for
-   options with parameters that were not passed correctly.
-
- * Our testing framework uses a special i18n "poisoned localization"
-   feature to find messages that ought to stay constant but are
-   incorrectly marked to be translated.  This feature has been made
-   into a runtime option (it used to be a compile-time option).
-
- * "git push" used to check ambiguities between object-names and
-   refnames while processing the list of refs' old and new values,
-   which was unnecessary (as it knew that it is feeding raw object
-   names).  This has been optimized out.
-
- * The xcurl_off_t() helper function is used to cast size_t to
-   curl_off_t, but some compilers gave warnings against the code to
-   ensure the casting is done without wraparound, when size_t is
-   narrower than curl_off_t.  This warning has been squelched.
-
- * Code preparation to replace ulong vars with size_t vars where
-   appropriate continues.
-
- * The "test installed Git" mode of our test suite has been updated to
-   work better.
-
- * A coding convention around the Coccinelle semantic patches to have
-   two classes to ease code migration process has been proposed and
-   its support has been added to the Makefile.
-
- * The "container" mode of TravisCI is going away.  Our .travis.yml
-   file is getting prepared for the transition.
-   (merge 32ee384be8 ss/travis-ci-force-vm-mode later to maint).
-
- * Our test scripts can now take the '-V' option as a synonym for the
-   '--verbose-log' option.
-   (merge a5f52c6dab sg/test-verbose-log later to maint).
-
-
-Fixes since v2.19
------------------
-
- * "git interpret-trailers" and its underlying machinery had a buggy
-   code that attempted to ignore patch text after commit log message,
-   which triggered in various codepaths that will always get the log
-   message alone and never get such an input.
-   (merge 66e83d9b41 jk/trailer-fixes later to maint).
-
- * Malformed or crafted data in packstream can make our code attempt
-   to read or write past the allocated buffer and abort, instead of
-   reporting an error, which has been fixed.
-
- * "git rebase -i" did not clear the state files correctly when a run
-   of "squash/fixup" is aborted and then the user manually amended the
-   commit instead, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 10d2f35436 js/rebase-i-autosquash-fix later to maint).
-
- * When fsmonitor is in use, after operation on submodules updates
-   .gitmodules, we lost track of the fact that we did so and relied on
-   stale fsmonitor data.
-   (merge 43f1180814 bp/mv-submodules-with-fsmonitor later to maint).
-
- * Fix for a long-standing bug that leaves the index file corrupt when
-   it shrinks during a partial commit.
-   (merge 6c003d6ffb jk/reopen-tempfile-truncate later to maint).
-
- * Further fix for O_APPEND emulation on Windows
-   (merge eeaf7ddac7 js/mingw-o-append later to maint).
-
- * A corner case bugfix in "git rerere" code.
-   (merge ad2bf0d9b4 en/rerere-multi-stage-1-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git add ':(attr:foo)'" is not supported and is supposed to be
-   rejected while the command line arguments are parsed, but we fail
-   to reject such a command line upfront.
-   (merge 84d938b732 nd/attr-pathspec-fix later to maint).
-
- * Recent update broke the reachability algorithm when refs (e.g.
-   tags) that point at objects that are not commit were involved,
-   which has been fixed.
-
- * "git rebase" etc. in Git 2.19 fails to abort when given an empty
-   commit log message as result of editing, which has been corrected.
-   (merge a3ec9eaf38 en/sequencer-empty-edit-result-aborts later to maint).
-
- * The code to backfill objects in lazily cloned repository did not
-   work correctly, which has been corrected.
-   (merge e68302011c jt/lazy-object-fetch-fix later to maint).
-
- * Update error messages given by "git remote" and make them consistent.
-   (merge 5025425dff ms/remote-error-message-update later to maint).
-
- * "git update-ref" learned to make both "--no-deref" and "--stdin"
-   work at the same time.
-   (merge d345e9fbe7 en/update-ref-no-deref-stdin later to maint).
-
- * Recently added "range-diff" had a corner-case bug to cause it
-   segfault, which has been corrected.
-   (merge e467a90c7a tg/range-diff-corner-case-fix later to maint).
-
- * The recently introduced commit-graph auxiliary data is incompatible
-   with mechanisms such as replace & grafts that "breaks" immutable
-   nature of the object reference relationship.  Disable optimizations
-   based on its use (and updating existing commit-graph) when these
-   incompatible features are in use in the repository.
-   (merge 829a321569 ds/commit-graph-with-grafts later to maint).
-
- * The mailmap file update.
-   (merge 255eb03edf jn/mailmap-update later to maint).
-
- * The code in "git status" sometimes hit an assertion failure.  This
-   was caused by a structure that was reused without cleaning the data
-   used for the first run, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 3e73cc62c0 en/status-multiple-renames-to-the-same-target-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch $repo $object" in a partial clone did not correctly
-   fetch the asked-for object that is referenced by an object in
-   promisor packfile, which has been fixed.
-
- * A corner-case bugfix.
-   (merge c5cbb27cb5 sm/show-superproject-while-conflicted later to maint).
-
- * Various fixes to "diff --color-moved-ws".
-
- * A partial clone that is configured to lazily fetch missing objects
-   will on-demand issue a "git fetch" request to the originating
-   repository to fill not-yet-obtained objects.  The request has been
-   optimized for requesting a tree object (and not the leaf blob
-   objects contained in it) by telling the originating repository that
-   no blobs are needed.
-   (merge 4c7f9567ea jt/non-blob-lazy-fetch later to maint).
-
- * The codepath to support the experimental split-index mode had
-   remaining "racily clean" issues fixed.
-   (merge 4c490f3d32 sg/split-index-racefix later to maint).
-
- * "git log --graph" showing an octopus merge sometimes miscounted the
-   number of display columns it is consuming to show the merge and its
-   parent commits, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 04005834ed np/log-graph-octopus-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git range-diff" did not work well when the compared ranges had
-   changes in submodules and the "--submodule=log" was used.
-
- * The implementation of run_command() API on the UNIX platforms had a
-   bug that caused a command not on $PATH to be found in the current
-   directory.
-   (merge f67b980771 jk/run-command-notdot later to maint).
-
- * A mutex used in "git pack-objects" were not correctly initialized
-   and this caused "git repack" to dump core on Windows.
-   (merge 34204c8166 js/pack-objects-mutex-init-fix later to maint).
-
- * Under certain circumstances, "git diff D:/a/b/c D:/a/b/d" on
-   Windows would strip initial parts from the paths because they
-   were not recognized as absolute, which has been corrected.
-   (merge ffd04e92e2 js/diff-notice-has-drive-prefix later to maint).
-
- * The receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead codepath kicked in even
-   when the push should have been rejected due to other reasons, such
-   as it does not fast-forward or the update-hook rejects it, which
-   has been corrected.
-   (merge b072a25fad jc/receive-deny-current-branch-fix later to maint).
-
- * The logic to determine the archive type "git archive" uses did not
-   correctly kick in for "git archive --remote", which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * "git repack" in a shallow clone did not correctly update the
-   shallow points in the repository, leading to a repository that
-   does not pass fsck.
-   (merge 5dcfbf564c js/shallow-and-fetch-prune later to maint).
-
- * Some codepaths failed to form a proper URL when .gitmodules record
-   the URL to a submodule repository as relative to the repository of
-   superproject, which has been corrected.
-   (merge e0a862fdaf sb/submodule-url-to-absolute later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch" over protocol v2 into a shallow repository failed to
-   fetch full history behind a new tip of history that was diverged
-   before the cut-off point of the history that was previously fetched
-   shallowly.
-
- * The command line completion machinery (in contrib/) has been
-   updated to allow the completion script to tweak the list of options
-   that are reported by the parse-options machinery correctly.
-   (merge 276b49ff34 nd/completion-negation later to maint).
-
- * Operations on promisor objects make sense in the context of only a
-   small subset of the commands that internally use the revisions
-   machinery, but the "--exclude-promisor-objects" option were taken
-   and led to nonsense results by commands like "log", to which it
-   didn't make much sense.  This has been corrected.
-   (merge 669b1d2aae md/exclude-promisor-objects-fix later to maint).
-
- * A regression in Git 2.12 era made "git fsck" fall into an infinite
-   loop while processing truncated loose objects.
-   (merge 18ad13e5b2 jk/detect-truncated-zlib-input later to maint).
-
- * "git ls-remote $there foo" was broken by recent update for the
-   protocol v2 and stopped showing refs that match 'foo' that are not
-   refs/{heads,tags}/foo, which has been fixed.
-   (merge 6a139cdd74 jk/proto-v2-ref-prefix-fix later to maint).
-
- * Additional comment on a tricky piece of code to help developers.
-   (merge 0afbe3e806 jk/stream-pack-non-delta-clarification later to maint).
-
- * A couple of tests used to leave the repository in a state that is
-   deliberately corrupt, which have been corrected.
-   (merge aa984dbe5e ab/pack-tests-cleanup later to maint).
-
- * The submodule support has been updated to read from the blob at
-   HEAD:.gitmodules when the .gitmodules file is missing from the
-   working tree.
-   (merge 2b1257e463 ao/submodule-wo-gitmodules-checked-out later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch" was a bit loose in parsing responses from the other side
-   when talking over the protocol v2.
-
- * "git rev-parse --exclude=* --branches --branches"  (i.e. first
-   saying "add only things that do not match '*' out of all branches"
-   and then adding all branches, without any exclusion this time)
-   worked as expected, but "--exclude=* --all --all" did not work the
-   same way, which has been fixed.
-   (merge 5221048092 ag/rev-parse-all-exclude-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git send-email --transfer-encoding=..." in recent versions of Git
-   sometimes produced an empty "Content-Transfer-Encoding:" header,
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge 3c88e46f1a al/send-email-auto-cte-fixup later to maint).
-
- * The interface into "xdiff" library used to discover the offset and
-   size of a generated patch hunk by first formatting it into the
-   textual hunk header "@@ -n,m +k,l @@" and then parsing the numbers
-   out.  A new interface has been introduced to allow callers a more
-   direct access to them.
-   (merge 5eade0746e jk/xdiff-interface later to maint).
-
- * Pathspec matching against a tree object were buggy when negative
-   pathspec elements were involved, which has been fixed.
-   (merge b7845cebc0 nd/tree-walk-path-exclusion later to maint).
-
- * "git merge" and "git pull" that merges into an unborn branch used
-   to completely ignore "--verify-signatures", which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 01a31f3bca jk/verify-sig-merge-into-void later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase --autostash" did not correctly re-attach the HEAD at times.
-
- * "rev-parse --exclude=<pattern> --branches=<pattern>" etc. did not
-   quite work, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 9ab9b5df0e ra/rev-parse-exclude-glob later to maint).
-
- * When editing a patch in a "git add -i" session, a hunk could be
-   made to no-op.  The "git apply" program used to reject a patch with
-   such a no-op hunk to catch user mistakes, but it is now updated to
-   explicitly allow a no-op hunk in an edited patch.
-   (merge 22cb3835b9 js/apply-recount-allow-noop later to maint).
-
- * The URL to an MSDN page in a comment has been updated.
-   (merge 2ef2ae2917 js/mingw-msdn-url later to maint).
-
- * "git ls-remote --sort=<thing>" can feed an object that is not yet
-   available into the comparison machinery and segfault, which has
-   been corrected to check such a request upfront and reject it.
-
- * When "git bundle" aborts due to an empty commit ranges
-   (i.e. resulting in an empty pack), it left a file descriptor to an
-   lockfile open, which resulted in leftover lockfile on Windows where
-   you cannot remove a file with an open file descriptor.  This has
-   been corrected.
-   (merge 2c8ee1f53c jk/close-duped-fd-before-unlock-for-bundle later to maint).
-
- * "git format-patch --stat=<width>" can be used to specify the width
-   used by the diffstat (shown in the cover letter).
-   (merge 284aeb7e60 nd/format-patch-cover-letter-stat-width later to maint).
-
- * The way .git/index and .git/sharedindex* files were initially
-   created gave these files different perm bits until they were
-   adjusted for shared repository settings.  This was made consistent.
-   (merge c9d6c78870 cc/shared-index-permbits later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase --stat" to transplant a piece of history onto a totally
-   unrelated history were not working before and silently showed wrong
-   result.  With the recent reimplementation in C, it started to instead
-   die with an error message, as the original logic was not prepared
-   to cope with this case.  This has now been fixed.
-
- * The advice message to tell the user to migrate an existing graft
-   file to the replace system when a graft file was read was shown
-   even when "git replace --convert-graft-file" command, which is the
-   way the message suggests to use, was running, which made little
-   sense.
-   (merge 8821e90a09 ab/replace-graft-with-replace-advice later to maint).
-
- * "git diff --raw" lost ellipses to adjust the output columns for
-   some time now, but the documentation still showed them.
-
- * Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
-   (merge 96a7501aad ts/doc-build-manpage-xsl-quietly later to maint).
-   (merge b9b07efdb2 tg/conflict-marker-size later to maint).

-Git v2.20.1 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-This release is primarily to fix brown-paper-bag breakages in the
-2.20.0 release.
-
-Fixes since v2.20
------------------
-
- * A few newly added tests were not portable and caused minority
-   platforms to report false breakages, which have been fixed.
-
- * Portability fix for a recent update to parse-options API.
-
- * "git help -a" did not work well when an overly long alias is
-   defined, which has been corrected.
-
- * A recent update accidentally squelched an error message when the
-   run_command API failed to run a missing command, which has been
-   corrected.

-Git v2.20.2 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-This release merges up the fixes that appear in v2.14.6, v2.15.4
-and in v2.17.3, addressing the security issues CVE-2019-1348,
-CVE-2019-1349, CVE-2019-1350, CVE-2019-1351, CVE-2019-1352,
-CVE-2019-1353, CVE-2019-1354, and CVE-2019-1387; see the release notes
-for those versions for details.
-
-The change to disallow `submodule.<name>.update=!command` entries in
-`.gitmodules` which was introduced v2.15.4 (and for which v2.17.3
-added explicit fsck checks) fixes the vulnerability in v2.20.x where a
-recursive clone followed by a submodule update could execute code
-contained within the repository without the user explicitly having
-asked for that (CVE-2019-19604).
-
-Credit for finding this vulnerability goes to Joern Schneeweisz,
-credit for the fixes goes to Jonathan Nieder.

-Git 2.21 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Backward Compatibility Notes
-----------------------------
-
- * Historically, the "-m" (mainline) option can only be used for "git
-   cherry-pick" and "git revert" when working with a merge commit.
-   This version of Git no longer warns or errors out when working with
-   a single-parent commit, as long as the argument to the "-m" option
-   is 1 (i.e. it has only one parent, and the request is to pick or
-   revert relative to that first parent).  Scripts that relied on the
-   behaviour may get broken with this change.
-
-
-Updates since v2.20
--------------------
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * The "http.version" configuration variable can be used with recent
-   enough versions of cURL library to force the version of HTTP used
-   to talk when fetching and pushing.
-
- * Small fixes and features for fast-export and fast-import, mostly on
-   the fast-export side has been made.
-
- * "git push $there $src:$dst" rejects when $dst is not a fully
-   qualified refname and it is not clear what the end user meant.  The
-   codepath has been taught to give a clearer error message, and also
-   guess where the push should go by taking the type of the pushed
-   object into account (e.g. a tag object would want to go under
-   refs/tags/).
-
- * "git checkout [<tree-ish>] path..." learned to report the number of
-   paths that have been checked out of the index or the tree-ish,
-   which gives it the same degree of noisy-ness as the case in which
-   the command checks out a branch.  "git checkout -m <pathspec>" to
-   undo conflict resolution gives a similar message.
-
- * "git quiltimport" learned "--keep-non-patch" option.
-
- * "git worktree remove" and "git worktree move" refused to work when
-   there is a submodule involved.  This has been loosened to ignore
-   uninitialized submodules.
-
- * "git cherry-pick -m1" was forbidden when picking a non-merge
-   commit, even though there _is_ parent number 1 for such a commit.
-   This was done to avoid mistakes back when "cherry-pick" was about
-   picking a single commit, but is no longer useful with "cherry-pick"
-   that can pick a range of commits.  Now the "-m$num" option is
-   allowed when picking any commit, as long as $num names an existing
-   parent of the commit.
-
- * Update "git multimail" from the upstream.
-
- * "git p4" update.
-
- * The "--format=<placeholder>" option of for-each-ref, branch and tag
-   learned to show a few more traits of objects that can be learned by
-   the object_info API.
-
- * "git rebase -i" learned to re-execute a command given with 'exec'
-   to run after it failed the last time.
-
- * "git diff --color-moved-ws" updates.
-
- * Custom userformat "log --format" learned %S atom that stands for
-   the tip the traversal reached the commit from, i.e. --source.
-
- * "git instaweb" learned to drive http.server that comes with
-   "batteries included" Python installation (both Python2 & 3).
-
- * A new encoding UTF-16LE-BOM has been invented to force encoding to
-   UTF-16 with BOM in little endian byte order, which cannot be directly
-   generated by using iconv.
-
- * A new date format "--date=human" that morphs its output depending
-   on how far the time is from the current time has been introduced.
-   "--date=auto:human" can be used to use this new format (or any
-   existing format) when the output is going to the pager or to the
-   terminal, and otherwise the default format.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * Code clean-up with optimization for the codepath that checks
-   (non-)existence of loose objects.
-
- * More codepaths have become aware of working with in-core repository
-   instances other than the default "the_repository".
-
- * The "strncat()" function is now among the banned functions.
-
- * Portability updates for the HPE NonStop platform.
-
- * Earlier we added "-Wformat-security" to developer builds, assuming
-   that "-Wall" (which includes "-Wformat" which in turn is required
-   to use "-Wformat-security") is always in effect.  This is not true
-   when config.mak.autogen is in use, unfortunately.  This has been
-   fixed by unconditionally adding "-Wall" to developer builds.
-
- * The loose object cache used to optimize existence look-up has been
-   updated.
-
- * Flaky tests can now be repeatedly run under load with the
-   "--stress" option.
-
- * Documentation/Makefile is getting prepared for manpage
-   localization.
-
- * "git fetch-pack" now can talk the version 2 protocol.
-
- * sha-256 hash has been added and plumbed through the code to allow
-   building Git with the "NewHash".
-
- * Debugging help for http transport.
-
- * "git fetch --deepen=<more>" has been corrected to work over v2
-   protocol.
-
- * The code to walk tree objects has been taught that we may be
-   working with object names that are not computed with SHA-1.
-
- * The in-core repository instances are passed through more codepaths.
-
- * Update the protocol message specification to allow only the limited
-   use of scaled quantities.  This is to ensure potential compatibility
-   issues will not get out of hand.
-
- * Micro-optimize the code that prepares commit objects to be walked
-   by "git rev-list" when the commit-graph is available.
-
- * "git fetch" and "git upload-pack" learned to send all exchanges over
-   the sideband channel while talking the v2 protocol.
-
- * The codepath to write out commit-graph has been optimized by
-   following the usual pattern of visiting objects in in-pack order.
-
- * The codepath to show progress meter while writing out commit-graph
-   file has been improved.
-
- * Cocci rules have been updated to encourage use of strbuf_addbuf().
-
- * "git rebase --merge" has been reimplemented by reusing the internal
-   machinery used for "git rebase -i".
-
- * More code in "git bisect" has been rewritten in C.
-
- * Instead of going through "git-rebase--am" scriptlet to use the "am"
-   backend, the built-in version of "git rebase" learned to drive the
-   "am" backend directly.
-
- * The assumption to work on the single "in-core index" instance has
-   been reduced from the library-ish part of the codebase.
-
- * The test lint learned to catch non-portable "sed" options.
-
- * "git pack-objects" learned another algorithm to compute the set of
-   objects to send, that trades the resulting packfile off to save
-   traversal cost to favor small pushes.
-
- * The travis CI scripts have been corrected to build Git with the
-   compiler(s) of our choice.
-
- * "git submodule update" learned to abort early when core.worktree
-   for the submodule is not set correctly to prevent spreading damage.
-
- * Test suite has been adjusted to run on Azure Pipeline.
-
- * Running "Documentation/doc-diff x" from anywhere other than the
-   top-level of the working tree did not show the usage string
-   correctly, which has been fixed.
-
- * Use of the sparse tool got easier to customize from the command
-   line to help developers.
-
- * A new target "coverage-prove" to run the coverage test under
-   "prove" has been added.
-
- * A flakey "p4" test has been removed.
-
- * The code and tests assume that the system supplied iconv() would
-   always use BOM in its output when asked to encode to UTF-16 (or
-   UTF-32), but apparently some implementations output big-endian
-   without BOM.  A compile-time knob has been added to help such
-   systems (e.g. NonStop) to add BOM to the output to increase
-   portability.
-
-
-Fixes since v2.20
------------------
-
- * Updates for corner cases in merge-recursive.
-   (merge cc4cb0902c en/merge-path-collision later to maint).
-
- * "git checkout frotz" (without any double-dash) avoids ambiguity by
-   making sure 'frotz' cannot be interpreted as a revision and as a
-   path at the same time.  This safety has been updated to check also
-   a unique remote-tracking branch 'frotz' in a remote, when dwimming
-   to create a local branch 'frotz' out of a remote-tracking branch
-   'frotz' from a remote.
-   (merge be4908f103 nd/checkout-dwim-fix later to maint).
-
- * Refspecs configured with "git -c var=val clone" did not propagate
-   to the resulting repository, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 7eae4a3ac4 sg/clone-initial-fetch-configuration later to maint).
-
- * A properly configured username/email is required under
-   user.useConfigOnly in order to create commits; now "git stash"
-   (even though it creates commit objects to represent stash entries)
-   command is exempt from the requirement.
-   (merge 3bc2111fc2 sd/stash-wo-user-name later to maint).
-
- * The http-backend CGI process did not correctly clean up the child
-   processes it spawns to run upload-pack etc. when it dies itself,
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge 02818a98d7 mk/http-backend-kill-children-before-exit later to maint).
-
- * "git rev-list --exclude-promisor-objects" had to take an object
-   that does not exist locally (and is lazily available) from the
-   command line without barfing, but the code dereferenced NULL.
-   (merge 4cf67869b2 md/list-lazy-objects-fix later to maint).
-
- * The traversal over tree objects has learned to honor
-   ":(attr:label)" pathspec match, which has been implemented only for
-   enumerating paths on the filesystem.
-   (merge 5a0b97b34c nd/attr-pathspec-in-tree-walk later to maint).
-
- * BSD port updates.
-   (merge 4e3ecbd439 cb/openbsd-allows-reading-directory later to maint).
-   (merge b6bdc2a0f5 cb/t5004-empty-tar-archive-fix later to maint).
-   (merge 82cbc8cde2 cb/test-lint-cp-a later to maint).
-
- * Lines that begin with a certain keyword that come over the wire, as
-   well as lines that consist only of one of these keywords, ought to
-   be painted in color for easier eyeballing, but the latter was
-   broken ever since the feature was introduced in 2.19, which has
-   been corrected.
-   (merge 1f67290450 hn/highlight-sideband-keywords later to maint).
-
- * "git log -G<regex>" looked for a hunk in the "git log -p" patch
-   output that contained a string that matches the given pattern.
-   Optimize this code to ignore binary files, which by default will
-   not show any hunk that would match any pattern (unless textconv or
-   the --text option is in effect, that is).
-   (merge e0e7cb8080 tb/log-G-binary later to maint).
-
- * "git submodule update" ought to use a single job unless asked, but
-   by mistake used multiple jobs, which has been fixed.
-   (merge e3a9d1aca9 sb/submodule-fetchjobs-default-to-one later to maint).
-
- * "git stripspace" should be usable outside a git repository, but
-   under the "-s" or "-c" mode, it didn't.
-   (merge 957da75802 jn/stripspace-wo-repository later to maint).
-
- * Some of the documentation pages formatted incorrectly with
-   Asciidoctor, which have been fixed.
-   (merge b62eb1d2f4 ma/asciidoctor later to maint).
-
- * The core.worktree setting in a submodule repository should not be
-   pointing at a directory when the submodule loses its working tree
-   (e.g. getting deinit'ed), but the code did not properly maintain
-   this invariant.
-
- * With zsh, "git cmd path<TAB>" was completed to "git cmd path name"
-   when the completed path has a special character like SP in it,
-   without any attempt to keep "path name" a single filename.  This
-   has been fixed to complete it to "git cmd path\ name" just like
-   Bash completion does.
-
- * The test suite tried to see if it is run under bash, but the check
-   itself failed under some other implementations of shell (notably
-   under NetBSD).  This has been corrected.
-   (merge 54ea72f09c sg/test-bash-version-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git gc" and "git repack" did not close the open packfiles that
-   they found unneeded before removing them, which didn't work on a
-   platform incapable of removing an open file.  This has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 5bdece0d70 js/gc-repack-close-before-remove later to maint).
-
- * The code to drive GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF command relied on the string
-   returned from getenv() to be non-volatile, which is not true, that
-   has been corrected.
-   (merge 6776a84dae kg/external-diff-save-env later to maint).
-
- * There were many places the code relied on the string returned from
-   getenv() to be non-volatile, which is not true, that have been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 0da0e9268b jk/save-getenv-result later to maint).
-
- * The v2 upload-pack protocol implementation failed to honor
-   hidden-ref configuration, which has been corrected.
-   (merge e20b4192a3 jk/proto-v2-hidden-refs-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch --recurse-submodules" may not fetch the necessary commit
-   that is bound to the superproject, which is getting corrected.
-   (merge be76c21282 sb/submodule-recursive-fetch-gets-the-tip later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase" internally runs "checkout" to switch between branches,
-   and the command used to call the post-checkout hook, but the
-   reimplementation stopped doing so, which is getting fixed.
-
- * "git add -e" got confused when the change it wants to let the user
-   edit is smaller than the previous change that was left over in a
-   temporary file.
-   (merge fa6f225e01 js/add-e-clear-patch-before-stating later to maint).
-
- * "git p4" failed to update a shelved change when there were moved
-   files, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 7a10946ab9 ld/git-p4-shelve-update-fix later to maint).
-
- * The codepath to read from the commit-graph file attempted to read
-   past the end of it when the file's table-of-contents was corrupt.
-
- * The compat/obstack code had casts that -Wcast-function-type
-   compilation option found questionable.
-   (merge 764473d257 sg/obstack-cast-function-type-fix later to maint).
-
- * An obvious typo in an assertion error message has been fixed.
-   (merge 3c27e2e059 cc/test-ref-store-typofix later to maint).
-
- * In Git for Windows, "git clone \\server\share\path" etc. that uses
-   UNC paths from command line had bad interaction with its shell
-   emulation.
-
- * "git add --ignore-errors" did not work as advertised and instead
-   worked as an unintended synonym for "git add --renormalize", which
-   has been fixed.
-   (merge e2c2a37545 jk/add-ignore-errors-bit-assignment-fix later to maint).
-
- * On a case-insensitive filesystem, we failed to compare the part of
-   the path that is above the worktree directory in an absolute
-   pathname, which has been corrected.
-
- * Asking "git check-attr" about a macro (e.g. "binary") on a specific
-   path did not work correctly, even though "git check-attr -a" listed
-   such a macro correctly.  This has been corrected.
-   (merge 7b95849be4 jk/attr-macro-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git pack-objects" incorrectly used uninitialized mutex, which has
-   been corrected.
-   (merge edb673cf10 ph/pack-objects-mutex-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git checkout -b <new> [HEAD]" to create a new branch from the
-   current commit and check it out ought to be a no-op in the index
-   and the working tree in normal cases, but there are corner cases
-   that do require updates to the index and the working tree.  Running
-   it immediately after "git clone --no-checkout" is one of these
-   cases that an earlier optimization kicked in incorrectly, which has
-   been fixed.
-   (merge 8424bfd45b bp/checkout-new-branch-optim later to maint).
-
- * "git diff --color-moved --cc --stat -p" did not work well due to
-   funny interaction between a bug in color-moved and the rest, which
-   has been fixed.
-   (merge dac03b5518 jk/diff-cc-stat-fixes later to maint).
-
- * When GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR is set, the command was incorrectly
-   started when modes of "git rebase" that implicitly uses the
-   machinery for the interactive rebase are run, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 891d4a0313 pw/no-editor-in-rebase-i-implicit later to maint).
-
- * The commit-graph facility did not work when in-core objects that
-   are promoted from unknown type to commit (e.g. a commit that is
-   accessed via a tag that refers to it) were involved, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 4468d4435c sg/object-as-type-commit-graph-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch" output cleanup.
-   (merge dc40b24df4 nd/fetch-compact-update later to maint).
-
- * "git cat-file --batch" reported a dangling symbolic link by
-   mistake, when it wanted to report that a given name is ambiguous.
-
- * Documentation around core.crlf has been updated.
-   (merge c9446f0504 jk/autocrlf-overrides-eol-doc later to maint).
-
- * The documentation of "git commit-tree" said that the command
-   understands "--gpg-sign" in addition to "-S", but the command line
-   parser did not know about the longhand, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git rebase -x $cmd" did not reject multi-line command, even though
-   the command is incapable of handling such a command.  It now is
-   rejected upfront.
-   (merge c762aada1a pw/rebase-x-sanity-check later to maint).
-
- * Output from "git help" was not correctly aligned, which has been
-   fixed.
-   (merge 6195a76da4 nd/help-align-command-desc later to maint).
-
- * The "git submodule summary" subcommand showed shortened commit
-   object names by mechanically truncating them at 7-hexdigit, which
-   has been improved to let "rev-parse --short" scale the length of
-   the abbreviation with the size of the repository.
-   (merge 0586a438f6 sh/submodule-summary-abbrev-fix later to maint).
-
- * The way the OSX build jobs updates its build environment used the
-   "--quiet" option to "brew update" command, but it wasn't all that
-   quiet to be useful.  The use of the option has been replaced with
-   an explicit redirection to the /dev/null (which incidentally would
-   have worked around a breakage by recent updates to homebrew, which
-   has fixed itself already).
-   (merge a1ccaedd62 sg/travis-osx-brew-breakage-workaround later to maint).
-
- * "git --work-tree=$there --git-dir=$here describe --dirty" did not
-   work correctly as it did not pay attention to the location of the
-   worktree specified by the user by mistake, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge c801170b0c ss/describe-dirty-in-the-right-directory later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch" over protocol v2 that needs to make a second connection
-   to backfill tags did not clear a variable that holds shallow
-   repository information correctly, leading to an access of freed
-   piece of memory.
-
- * Some errors from the other side coming over smart HTTP transport
-   were not noticed, which has been corrected.
-
- * Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
-   (merge 89ba9a79ae hb/t0061-dot-in-path-fix later to maint).

-Git 2.22 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Updates since v2.21
--------------------
-
-Backward compatibility note
-
- * The filter specification "--filter=sparse:path=<path>" used to
-   create a lazy/partial clone has been removed.  Using a blob that is
-   part of the project as sparse specification is still supported with
-   the "--filter=sparse:oid=<blob>" option.
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * "git checkout --no-overlay" can be used to trigger a new mode of
-   checking out paths out of the tree-ish, that allows paths that
-   match the pathspec that are in the current index and working tree
-   and are not in the tree-ish.
-
- * The %(trailers) formatter in "git log --format=..."  now allows to
-   optionally pick trailers selectively by keyword, show only values,
-   etc.
-
- * Four new configuration variables {author,committer}.{name,email}
-   have been introduced to override user.{name,email} in more specific
-   cases.
-
- * Command-line completion (in contrib/) learned to tab-complete the
-   "git submodule absorbgitdirs" subcommand.
-
- * "git branch" learned a new subcommand "--show-current".
-
- * Output from "diff --cc" did not show the original paths when the
-   merge involved renames.  A new option adds the paths in the
-   original trees to the output.
-
- * The command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught to
-   complete more subcommand parameters.
-
- * The final report from "git bisect" used to show the suspected
-   culprit using a raw "diff-tree", with which there is no output for
-   a merge commit.  This has been updated to use a more modern and
-   human readable output that still is concise enough.
-
- * "git rebase --rebase-merges" replaces its old "--preserve-merges"
-   option; the latter is now marked as deprecated.
-
- * Error message given while cloning with --recurse-submodules has
-   been updated.
-
- * The completion helper code now pays attention to repository-local
-   configuration (when available), which allows --list-cmds to honour
-   a repository specific setting of completion.commands, for example.
-
- * "git mergetool" learned to offer Sublime Merge (smerge) as one of
-   its backends.
-
- * A new hook "post-index-change" is called when the on-disk index
-   file changes, which can help e.g. a virtualized working tree
-   implementation.
-
- * "git difftool" can now run outside a repository.
-
- * "git checkout -m <other>" was about carrying the differences
-   between HEAD and the working-tree files forward while checking out
-   another branch, and ignored the differences between HEAD and the
-   index.  The command has been taught to abort when the index and the
-   HEAD are different.
-
- * A progress indicator has been added to the "index-pack" step, which
-   often makes users wait for completion during "git clone".
-
- * "git submodule" learns "set-branch" subcommand that allows the
-   submodule.*.branch settings to be modified.
-
- * "git merge-recursive" backend recently learned a new heuristics to
-   infer file movement based on how other files in the same directory
-   moved.  As this is inherently less robust heuristics than the one
-   based on the content similarity of the file itself (rather than
-   based on what its neighbours are doing), it sometimes gives an
-   outcome unexpected by the end users.  This has been toned down to
-   leave the renamed paths in higher/conflicted stages in the index so
-   that the user can examine and confirm the result.
-
- * "git tag" learned to give an advice suggesting it might be a
-   mistake when creating an annotated or signed tag that points at
-   another tag.
-
- * The "git pack-objects" command learned to report the number of
-   objects it packed via the trace2 mechanism.
-
- * The list of conflicted paths shown in the editor while concluding a
-   conflicted merge was shown above the scissors line when the
-   clean-up mode is set to "scissors", even though it was commented
-   out just like the list of updated paths and other information to
-   help the user explain the merge better.
-
- * The trace2 tracing facility learned to auto-generate a filename
-   when told to log to a directory.
-
- * "git clone" learned a new --server-option option when talking over
-   the protocol version 2.
-
- * The connectivity bitmaps are created by default in bare
-   repositories now; also the pathname hash-cache is created by
-   default to avoid making crappy deltas when repacking.
-
- * "git branch new A...B" and "git checkout -b new A...B" have been
-   taught that in their contexts, the notation A...B means "the merge
-   base between these two commits", just like "git checkout A...B"
-   detaches HEAD at that commit.
-
- * Update "git difftool" and "git mergetool" so that the combinations
-   of {diff,merge}.{tool,guitool} configuration variables serve as
-   fallback settings of each other in a sensible order.
-
- * The "--dir-diff" mode of "git difftool" is not useful in "--no-index"
-   mode; they are now explicitly marked as mutually incompatible.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * The diff machinery, one of the oldest parts of the system, which
-   long predates the parse-options API, uses fairly long and complex
-   handcrafted option parser.  This is being rewritten to use the
-   parse-options API.
-
- * The implementation of pack-redundant has been updated for
-   performance in a repository with many packfiles.
-
- * A more structured way to obtain execution trace has been added.
-
- * "git prune" has been taught to take advantage of reachability
-   bitmap when able.
-
- * The command line parser of "git commit-tree" has been rewritten to
-   use the parse-options API.
-
- * Suggest GitGitGadget instead of submitGit as a way to submit
-   patches based on GitHub PR to us.
-
- * The test framework has been updated to help developers by making it
-   easier to run most of the tests under different versions of
-   over-the-wire protocols.
-
- * Dev support update to make it easier to compare two formatted
-   results from our documentation.
-
- * The scripted "git rebase" implementation has been retired.
-
- * "git multi-pack-index verify" did not scale well with the number of
-   packfiles, which is being improved.
-
- * "git stash" has been rewritten in C.
-
- * The "check-docs" Makefile target to support developers has been
-   updated.
-
- * The tests have been updated not to rely on the abbreviated option
-   names the parse-options API offers, to protect us from an
-   abbreviated form of an option that used to be unique within the
-   command getting non-unique when a new option that share the same
-   prefix is added.
-
- * The scripted version of "git rebase -i" wrote and rewrote the todo
-   list many times during a single step of its operation, and the
-   recent C-rewrite made a faithful conversion of the logic to C.  The
-   implementation has been updated to carry necessary information
-   around in-core to avoid rewriting the same file over and over
-   unnecessarily.
-
- * Test framework update to more robustly clean up leftover files and
-   processes after tests are done.
-
- * Conversion from unsigned char[20] to struct object_id continues.
-
- * While running "git diff" in a lazy clone, we can upfront know which
-   missing blobs we will need, instead of waiting for the on-demand
-   machinery to discover them one by one.  The code learned to aim to
-   achieve better performance by batching the request for these
-   promised blobs.
-
- * During an initial "git clone --depth=..." partial clone, it is
-   pointless to spend cycles for a large portion of the connectivity
-   check that enumerates and skips promisor objects (which by
-   definition is all objects fetched from the other side).  This has
-   been optimized out.
-
- * Mechanically and systematically drop "extern" from function
-   declaration.
-
- * The script to aggregate perf result unconditionally depended on
-   libjson-perl even though it did not have to, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * The internal implementation of "git rebase -i" has been updated to
-   avoid forking a separate "rebase--interactive" process.
-
- * Allow DEP and ASLR for Windows build to for security hardening.
-
- * Performance test framework has been broken and measured the version
-   of Git that happens to be on $PATH, not the specified one to
-   measure, for a while, which has been corrected.
-
- * Optionally "make coccicheck" can feed multiple source files to
-   spatch, gaining performance while spending more memory.
-
- * Attempt to use an abbreviated option in "git clone --recurs" is
-   responded by a request to disambiguate between --recursive and
-   --recurse-submodules, which is bad because these two are synonyms.
-   The parse-options API has been extended to define such synonyms
-   more easily and not produce an unnecessary failure.
-
- * A pair of private functions in http.c that had names similar to
-   fread/fwrite did not return the number of elements, which was found
-   to be confusing.
-
- * Update collision-detecting SHA-1 code to build properly on HP-UX.
-
-
-Fixes since v2.21
------------------
-
- * "git prune-packed" did not notice and complain against excess
-   arguments given from the command line, which now it does.
-   (merge 9b0bd87ed2 rj/prune-packed-excess-args later to maint).
-
- * Split-index fix.
-   (merge 6e37c8ed3c nd/split-index-null-base-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git diff --no-index" may still want to access Git goodies like
-   --ext-diff and --textconv, but so far these have been ignored,
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge 287ab28bfa jk/diff-no-index-initialize later to maint).
-
- * Unify RPC code for smart http in protocol v0/v1 and v2, which fixes
-   a bug in the latter (lack of authentication retry) and generally
-   improves the code base.
-   (merge a97d00799a jt/http-auth-proto-v2-fix later to maint).
-
- * The include file compat/bswap.h has been updated so that it is safe
-   to (accidentally) include it more than once.
-   (merge 33aa579a55 jk/guard-bswap-header later to maint).
-
- * The set of header files used by "make hdr-check" unconditionally
-   included sha256/gcrypt.h, even when it is not used, causing the
-   make target to fail.  We now skip it when GCRYPT_SHA256 is not in
-   use.
-   (merge f23aa18e7f rj/hdr-check-gcrypt-fix later to maint).
-
- * The Makefile uses 'find' utility to enumerate all the *.h header
-   files, which is expensive on platforms with slow filesystems; it
-   now optionally uses "ls-files" if working within a repository,
-   which is a trick similar to how all sources are enumerated to run
-   ETAGS on.
-   (merge 92b88eba9f js/find-lib-h-with-ls-files-when-possible later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase" that was reimplemented in C did not set ORIG_HEAD
-   correctly, which has been corrected.
-   (merge cbd29ead92 js/rebase-orig-head-fix later to maint).
-
- * Dev support.
-   (merge f545737144 js/stress-test-ui-tweak later to maint).
-
- * CFLAGS now can be tweaked when invoking Make while using
-   DEVELOPER=YesPlease; this did not work well before.
-   (merge 6d5d4b4e93 ab/makefile-help-devs-more later to maint).
-
- * "git fsck --connectivity-only" omits computation necessary to sift
-   the objects that are not reachable from any of the refs into
-   unreachable and dangling.  This is now enabled when dangling
-   objects are requested (which is done by default, but can be
-   overridden with the "--no-dangling" option).
-   (merge 8d8c2a5aef jk/fsck-doc later to maint).
-
- * On platforms where "git fetch" is killed with SIGPIPE (e.g. OSX),
-   the upload-pack that runs on the other end that hangs up after
-   detecting an error could cause "git fetch" to die with a signal,
-   which led to a flaky test.  "git fetch" now ignores SIGPIPE during
-   the network portion of its operation (this is not a problem as we
-   check the return status from our write(2)s).
-   (merge 143588949c jk/no-sigpipe-during-network-transport later to maint).
-
- * A recent update broke "is this object available to us?" check for
-   well-known objects like an empty tree (which should yield "yes",
-   even when there is no on-disk object for an empty tree), which has
-   been corrected.
-   (merge f06ab027ef jk/virtual-objects-do-exist later to maint).
-
- * The setup code has been cleaned up to avoid leaks around the
-   repository_format structure.
-   (merge e8805af1c3 ma/clear-repository-format later to maint).
-
- * "git config --type=color ..." is meant to replace "git config --get-color"
-   but there is a slight difference that wasn't documented, which is
-   now fixed.
-   (merge cd8e7593b9 jk/config-type-color-ends-with-lf later to maint).
-
- * When the "clean" filter can reduce the size of a huge file in the
-   working tree down to a small "token" (a la Git LFS), there is no
-   point in allocating a huge scratch area upfront, but the buffer is
-   sized based on the original file size.  The convert mechanism now
-   allocates very minimum and reallocates as it receives the output
-   from the clean filter process.
-   (merge 02156ab031 jh/resize-convert-scratch-buffer later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase" uses the refs/rewritten/ hierarchy to store its
-   intermediate states, which inherently makes the hierarchy per
-   worktree, but it didn't quite work well.
-   (merge b9317d55a3 nd/rewritten-ref-is-per-worktree later to maint).
-
- * "git log -L<from>,<to>:<path>" with "-s" did not suppress the patch
-   output as it should.  This has been corrected.
-   (merge 05314efaea jk/line-log-with-patch later to maint).
-
- * "git worktree add" used to do a "find an available name with stat
-   and then mkdir", which is race-prone.  This has been fixed by using
-   mkdir and reacting to EEXIST in a loop.
-   (merge 7af01f2367 ms/worktree-add-atomic-mkdir later to maint).
-
- * Build update for SHA-1 with collision detection.
-   (merge 07a20f569b jk/sha1dc later to maint).
-
- * Build procedure has been fixed around use of asciidoctor instead of
-   asciidoc.
-   (merge 185f9a0ea0 ma/asciidoctor-fixes later to maint).
-
- * remote-http transport did not anonymize URLs reported in its error
-   messages at places.
-   (merge c1284b21f2 js/anonymize-remote-curl-diag later to maint).
-
- * Error messages given from the http transport have been updated so
-   that they can be localized.
-   (merge ed8b4132c8 js/remote-curl-i18n later to maint).
-
- * "git init" forgot to read platform-specific repository
-   configuration, which made Windows port to ignore settings of
-   core.hidedotfiles, for example.
-
- * A corner-case object name ambiguity while the sequencer machinery
-   is working (e.g. "rebase -i -x") has been fixed.
-
- * "git format-patch" did not diagnose an error while opening the
-   output file for the cover-letter, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 2fe95f494c jc/format-patch-error-check later to maint).
-
- * "git checkout -f <branch>" while the index has an unmerged path
-   incorrectly left some paths in an unmerged state, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * A corner case bug in the refs API has been corrected.
-   (merge d3322eb28b jk/refs-double-abort later to maint).
-
- * Unicode update.
-   (merge 584b62c37b bb/unicode-12 later to maint).
-
- * dumb-http walker has been updated to share more error recovery
-   strategy with the normal codepath.
-
- * A buglet in configuration parser has been fixed.
-   (merge 19e7fdaa58 nd/include-if-wildmatch later to maint).
-
- * The documentation for "git read-tree --reset -u" has been updated.
-   (merge b5a0bd694c nd/read-tree-reset-doc later to maint).
-
- * Code clean-up around a much-less-important-than-it-used-to-be
-   update_server_info() function.
-   (merge b3223761c8 jk/server-info-rabbit-hole later to maint).
-
- * The message given when "git commit -a <paths>" errors out has been
-   updated.
-   (merge 5a1dbd48bc nd/commit-a-with-paths-msg-update later to maint).
-
- * "git cherry-pick --options A..B", after giving control back to the
-   user to ask help resolving a conflicted step, did not honor the
-   options it originally received, which has been corrected.
-
- * Various glitches in "git gc" around reflog handling have been fixed.
-
- * The code to read from commit-graph file has been cleanup with more
-   careful error checking before using data read from it.
-
- * Performance fix around "git fetch" that grabs many refs.
-   (merge b764300912 jt/fetch-pack-wanted-refs-optim later to maint).
-
- * Protocol v2 support in "git fetch-pack" of shallow clones has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Performance fix around "git blame", especially in a linear history
-   (which is the norm we should optimize for).
-   (merge f892014943 dk/blame-keep-origin-blob later to maint).
-
- * Performance fix for "rev-list --parents -- pathspec".
-   (merge 8320b1dbe7 jk/revision-rewritten-parents-in-prio-queue later to maint).
-
- * Updating the display with progress message has been cleaned up to
-   deal better with overlong messages.
-   (merge 545dc345eb sg/overlong-progress-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git blame -- path" in a non-bare repository starts blaming from
-   the working tree, and the same command in a bare repository errors
-   out because there is no working tree by definition.  The command
-   has been taught to instead start blaming from the commit at HEAD,
-   which is more useful.
-   (merge a544fb08f8 sg/blame-in-bare-start-at-head later to maint).
-
- * An underallocation in the code to read the untracked cache
-   extension has been corrected.
-   (merge 3a7b45a623 js/untracked-cache-allocfix later to maint).
-
- * The code is updated to check the result of memory allocation before
-   it is used in more places, by using xmalloc and/or xcalloc calls.
-   (merge 999b951b28 jk/xmalloc later to maint).
-
- * The GETTEXT_POISON test option has been quite broken ever since it
-   was made runtime-tunable, which has been fixed.
-   (merge f88b9cb603 jc/gettext-test-fix later to maint).
-
- * Test fix on APFS that is incapable of store paths in Latin-1.
-   (merge 3889149619 js/iso8895-test-on-apfs later to maint).
-
- * "git submodule foreach <command> --quiet" did not pass the option
-   down correctly, which has been corrected.
-   (merge a282f5a906 nd/submodule-foreach-quiet later to maint).
-
- * "git send-email" has been taught to use quoted-printable when the
-   payload contains carriage-return.  The use of the mechanism is in
-   line with the design originally added the codepath that chooses QP
-   when the payload has overly long lines.
-   (merge 74d76a1701 bc/send-email-qp-cr later to maint).
-
- * The recently added feature to add addresses that are on
-   anything-by: trailers in 'git send-email' was found to be way too
-   eager and considered nonsense strings as if they can be legitimate
-   beginning of *-by: trailer.  This has been tightened.
-
- * Builds with gettext broke on recent macOS w/ Homebrew, which
-   seems to have stopped including from /usr/local/include; this
-   has been corrected.
-   (merge 92a1377a2a js/macos-gettext-build later to maint).
-
- * Running "git add" on a repository created inside the current
-   repository is an explicit indication that the user wants to add it
-   as a submodule, but when the HEAD of the inner repository is on an
-   unborn branch, it cannot be added as a submodule.  Worse, the files
-   in its working tree can be added as if they are a part of the outer
-   repository, which is not what the user wants.  These problems are
-   being addressed.
-   (merge f937bc2f86 km/empty-repo-is-still-a-repo later to maint).
-
- * "git cherry-pick" run with the "-x" or the "--signoff" option used
-   to (and more importantly, ought to) clean up the commit log message
-   with the --cleanup=space option by default, but this has been
-   broken since late 2017.  This has been fixed.
-
- * When given a tag that points at a commit-ish, "git replace --graft"
-   failed to peel the tag before writing a replace ref, which did not
-   make sense because the old graft mechanism the feature wants to
-   mimic only allowed to replace one commit object with another.
-   This has been fixed.
-   (merge ee521ec4cb cc/replace-graft-peel-tags later to maint).
-
- * Code tightening against a "wrong" object appearing where an object
-   of a different type is expected, instead of blindly assuming that
-   the connection between objects are correctly made.
-   (merge 97dd512af7 tb/unexpected later to maint).
-
- * An earlier update for MinGW and Cygwin accidentally broke MSVC build,
-   which has been fixed.
-   (merge 22c3634c0f ss/msvc-path-utils-fix later to maint).
-
- * %(push:track) token used in the --format option to "git
-   for-each-ref" and friends was not showing the right branch, which
-   has been fixed.
-   (merge c646d0934e dr/ref-filter-push-track-fix later to maint).
-
- * "make check-docs", "git help -a", etc. did not account for cases
-   where a particular build may deliberately omit some subcommands,
-   which has been corrected.
-
- * The logic to tell if a Git repository has a working tree protects
-   "git branch -D" from removing the branch that is currently checked
-   out by mistake.  The implementation of this logic was broken for
-   repositories with unusual name, which unfortunately is the norm for
-   submodules these days.  This has been fixed.
-   (merge f3534c98e4 jt/submodule-repo-is-with-worktree later to maint).
-
- * AIX shared the same build issues with other BSDs around fileno(fp),
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge ee662bf5c6 cc/aix-has-fileno-as-a-macro later to maint).
-
- * The autoconf generated configure script failed to use the right
-   gettext() implementations from -libintl by ignoring useless stub
-   implementations shipped in some C library, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge b71e56a683 vk/autoconf-gettext later to maint).
-
- * Fix index-pack perf test so that the repeated invocations always
-   run in an empty repository, which emulates the initial clone
-   situation better.
-   (merge 775c71e16d jk/p5302-avoid-collision-check-cost later to maint).
-
- * A "ls-files" that emulates "find" to enumerate files in the working
-   tree resulted in duplicated Makefile rules that caused the build to
-   issue an unnecessary warning during a trial build after merge
-   conflicts are resolved in working tree *.h files but before the
-   resolved results are added to the index.  This has been corrected.
-
- * "git cherry-pick" (and "revert" that shares the same runtime engine)
-   that deals with multiple commits got confused when the final step
-   gets stopped with a conflict and the user concluded the sequence
-   with "git commit".  Attempt to fix it by cleaning up the state
-   files used by these commands in such a situation.
-   (merge 4a72486de9 pw/clean-sequencer-state-upon-final-commit later to maint).
-
- * On a filesystem like HFS+, the names of the refs stored as filesystem
-   entities may become different from what the end-user expects, just
-   like files in the working tree get "renamed".  Work around the
-   mismatch by paying attention to the core.precomposeUnicode
-   configuration.
-   (merge 8e712ef6fc en/unicode-in-refnames later to maint).
-
- * The code to generate the multi-pack idx file was not prepared to
-   see too many packfiles and ran out of open file descriptor, which
-   has been corrected.
-
- * To run tests for Git SVN, our scripts for CI used to install the
-   git-svn package (in the hope that it would bring in the right
-   dependencies).  This has been updated to install the more direct
-   dependency, namely, libsvn-perl.
-   (merge db864306cf sg/ci-libsvn-perl later to maint).
-
- * "git cvsexportcommit" running on msys did not expect cvsnt showed
-   "cvs status" output with CRLF line endings.
-
- * The fsmonitor interface got out of sync after the in-core index
-   file gets discarded, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 398a3b0899 js/fsmonitor-refresh-after-discarding-index later to maint).
-
- * "git status" did not know that the "label" instruction in the
-   todo-list "rebase -i -r" uses should not be shown as a hex object
-   name.
-
- * A prerequisite check in the test suite to see if a working jgit is
-   available was made more robust.
-   (merge abd0f28983 tz/test-lib-check-working-jgit later to maint).
-
- * The codepath to parse :<path> that obtains the object name for an
-   indexed object has been made more robust.

-Git 2.22.1 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.22
------------------
-
- * A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>"
-   ought to be relative to the directory "git init" gets invoked in,
-   but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * "git worktree add" used to fail when another worktree connected to
-   the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected.
-
- * The ownership rule for the file descriptor to fast-import remote
-   backend was mixed up, leading to unrelated file descriptor getting
-   closed, which has been fixed.
-
- * "git update-server-info" used to leave stale packfiles in its
-   output, which has been corrected.
-
- * The server side support for "git fetch" used to show incorrect
-   value for the HEAD symbolic ref when the namespace feature is in
-   use, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git am -i --resolved" segfaulted after trying to see a commit as
-   if it were a tree, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git bundle verify" needs to see if prerequisite objects exist in
-   the receiving repository, but the command did not check if we are
-   in a repository upfront, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git merge --squash" is designed to update the working tree and the
-   index without creating the commit, and this cannot be countermanded
-   by adding the "--commit" option; the command now refuses to work
-   when both options are given.
-
- * The data collected by fsmonitor was not properly written back to
-   the on-disk index file, breaking t7519 tests occasionally, which
-   has been corrected.
-
- * Update to Unicode 12.1 width table.
-
- * The command line to invoke a "git cat-file" command from inside
-   "git p4" was not properly quoted to protect a caret and running a
-   broken command on Windows, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git request-pull" learned to warn when the ref we ask them to pull
-   from in the local repository and in the published repository are
-   different.
-
- * When creating a partial clone, the object filtering criteria is
-   recorded for the origin of the clone, but this incorrectly used a
-   hardcoded name "origin" to name that remote; it has been corrected
-   to honor the "--origin <name>" option.
-
- * "git fetch" into a lazy clone forgot to fetch base objects that are
-   necessary to complete delta in a thin packfile, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * The filter_data used in the list-objects-filter (which manages a
-   lazily sparse clone repository) did not use the dynamic array API
-   correctly---'nr' is supposed to point at one past the last element
-   of the array in use.  This has been corrected.
-
- * The description about slashes in gitignore patterns (used to
-   indicate things like "anchored to this level only" and "only
-   matches directories") has been revamped.
-
- * The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end
-   of the string while parsing %-<hex>-<hex> sequence.
-
- * The list of for-each like macros used by clang-format has been
-   updated.
-
- * "git push --atomic" that goes over the transport-helper (namely,
-   the smart http transport) failed to prevent refs to be pushed when
-   it can locally tell that one of the ref update will fail without
-   having to consult the other end, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git clean" silently skipped a path when it cannot lstat() it; now
-   it gives a warning.
-
- * A codepath that reads from GPG for signed object verification read
-   past the end of allocated buffer, which has been fixed.
-
- * "git rm" to resolve a conflicted path leaked an internal message
-   "needs merge" before actually removing the path, which was
-   confusing.  This has been corrected.
-
- * The "git clone" documentation refers to command line options in its
-   description in the short form; they have been replaced with long
-   forms to make them more recognisable.
-
- * The configuration variable rebase.rescheduleFailedExec should be
-   effective only while running an interactive rebase and should not
-   affect anything when running a non-interactive one, which was not
-   the case.  This has been corrected.
-
- * "git submodule foreach" did not protect command line options passed
-   to the command to be run in each submodule correctly, when the
-   "--recursive" option was in use.
-
- * Use "Erase in Line" CSI sequence that is already used in the editor
-   support to clear cruft in the progress output.
-
- * The codepath to compute delta islands used to spew progress output
-   without giving the callers any way to squelch it, which has been
-   fixed.
-
- * The code to parse scaled numbers out of configuration files has
-   been made more robust and also easier to follow.
-
- * An incorrect list of options was cached after command line
-   completion failed (e.g. trying to complete a command that requires
-   a repository outside one), which has been corrected.
-
- * "git rebase --abort" used to leave refs/rewritten/ when concluding
-   "git rebase -r", which has been corrected.
-
- * "git stash show 23" used to work, but no more after getting
-   rewritten in C; this regression has been corrected.
-
- * "git interpret-trailers" always treated '#' as the comment
-   character, regardless of core.commentChar setting, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Code clean-up to avoid signed integer overlaps during binary search.
-
- * "git checkout -p" needs to selectively apply a patch in reverse,
-   which did not work well.
-
- * The commit-graph file is now part of the "files that the runtime
-   may keep open file descriptors on, all of which would need to be
-   closed when done with the object store", and the file descriptor to
-   an existing commit-graph file now is closed before "gc" finalizes a
-   new instance to replace it.
-
- * Code restructuring during 2.20 period broke fetching tags via
-   "import" based transports.
-
- * We have been trying out a few language features outside c89; the
-   coding guidelines document did not talk about them and instead had
-   a blanket ban against them.
-
- * The internal diff machinery can be made to read out of bounds while
-   looking for --funcion-context line in a corner case, which has been
-   corrected.
-
-Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.

-Git 2.23 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Updates since v2.22
--------------------
-
-Backward compatibility note
-
- * The "--base" option of "format-patch" computed the patch-ids for
-   prerequisite patches in an unstable way, which has been updated to
-   compute in a way that is compatible with "git patch-id --stable".
-
- * The "git log" command by default behaves as if the --mailmap option
-   was given.
-
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * The "git fast-export/import" pair has been taught to handle commits
-   with log messages in encoding other than UTF-8 better.
-
- * In recent versions of Git, per-worktree refs are exposed in
-   refs/worktrees/<wtname>/ hierarchy, which means that worktree names
-   must be a valid refname component.  The code now sanitizes the names
-   given to worktrees, to make sure these refs are well-formed.
-
- * "git merge" learned "--quit" option that cleans up the in-progress
-   merge while leaving the working tree and the index still in a mess.
-
- * "git format-patch" learns a configuration to set the default for
-   its --notes=<ref> option.
-
- * The code to show args with potential typo that cannot be
-   interpreted as a commit-ish has been improved.
-
- * "git clone --recurse-submodules" learned to set up the submodules
-   to ignore commit object names recorded in the superproject gitlink
-   and instead use the commits that happen to be at the tip of the
-   remote-tracking branches from the get-go, by passing the new
-   "--remote-submodules" option.
-
- * The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
-   boundary for Matlab has been extend to cover Octave, which is more
-   or less equivalent.
-
- * "git help git" was hard to discover (well, at least for some
-   people).
-
- * The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
-   boundary for Rust has been added.
-
- * "git status" can be told a non-standard default value for the
-   "--[no-]ahead-behind" option with a new configuration variable
-   status.aheadBehind.
-
- * "git fetch" and "git pull" reports when a fetch results in
-   non-fast-forward updates to let the user notice unusual situation.
-   The commands learned "--no-show-forced-updates" option to disable
-   this safety feature.
-
- * Two new commands "git switch" and "git restore" are introduced to
-   split "checking out a branch to work on advancing its history" and
-   "checking out paths out of the index and/or a tree-ish to work on
-   advancing the current history" out of the single "git checkout"
-   command.
-
- * "git branch --list" learned to always output the detached HEAD as
-   the first item (when the HEAD is detached, of course), regardless
-   of the locale.
-
- * The conditional inclusion mechanism learned to base the choice on
-   the branch the HEAD currently is on.
-
- * "git rev-list --objects" learned the "--no-object-names" option to
-   squelch the path to the object that is used as a grouping hint for
-   pack-objects.
-
- * A new tag.gpgSign configuration variable turns "git tag -a" into
-   "git tag -s".
-
- * "git multi-pack-index" learned expire and repack subcommands.
-
- * "git blame" learned to "ignore" commits in the history, whose
-   effects (as well as their presence) get ignored.
-
- * "git cherry-pick/revert" learned a new "--skip" action.
-
- * The tips of refs from the alternate object store can be used as
-   starting point for reachability computation now.
-
- * Extra blank lines in "git status" output have been reduced.
-
- * The commits in a repository can be described by multiple
-   commit-graph files now, which allows the commit-graph files to be
-   updated incrementally.
-
- * "git range-diff" output has been tweaked for easier identification
-   of which part of what file the patch shown is about.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * Update supporting parts of "git rebase" to remove code that should
-   no longer be used.
-
- * Developer support to emulate unsatisfied prerequisites in tests to
-   ensure that the remainder of the tests still succeeds when tests
-   with prerequisites are skipped.
-
- * "git update-server-info" learned not to rewrite the file with the
-   same contents.
-
- * The way of specifying the path to find dynamic libraries at runtime
-   has been simplified.  The old default to pass -R/path/to/dir has been
-   replaced with the new default to pass -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/dir,
-   which is the more recent GCC uses.  Those who need to build with an
-   old GCC can still use "CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R"
-
- * Prepare use of reachability index in topological walker that works
-   on a range (A..B).
-
- * A new tutorial targeting specifically aspiring git-core
-   developers has been added.
-
- * Auto-detect how to tell HP-UX aCC where to use dynamically linked
-   libraries from at runtime.
-
- * "git mergetool" and its tests now spawn fewer subprocesses.
-
- * Dev support update to help tracing out tests.
-
- * Support to build with MSVC has been updated.
-
- * "git fetch" that grabs from a group of remotes learned to run the
-   auto-gc only once at the very end.
-
- * A handful of Windows build patches have been upstreamed.
-
- * The code to read state files used by the sequencer machinery for
-   "git status" has been made more robust against a corrupt or stale
-   state files.
-
- * "git for-each-ref" with multiple patterns have been optimized.
-
- * The tree-walk API learned to pass an in-core repository
-   instance throughout more codepaths.
-
- * When one step in multi step cherry-pick or revert is reset or
-   committed, the command line prompt script failed to notice the
-   current status, which has been improved.
-
- * Many GIT_TEST_* environment variables control various aspects of
-   how our tests are run, but a few followed "non-empty is true, empty
-   or unset is false" while others followed the usual "there are a few
-   ways to spell true, like yes, on, etc., and also ways to spell
-   false, like no, off, etc." convention.
-
- * Adjust the dir-iterator API and apply it to the local clone
-   optimization codepath.
-
- * We have been trying out a few language features outside c89; the
-   coding guidelines document did not talk about them and instead had
-   a blanket ban against them.
-
- * A test helper has been introduced to optimize preparation of test
-   repositories with many simple commits, and a handful of test
-   scripts have been updated to use it.
-
-

-
- * A "merge -c" instruction during "git rebase --rebase-merges" should
-   give the user a chance to edit the log message, even when there is
-   otherwise no need to create a new merge and replace the existing
-   one (i.e. fast-forward instead), but did not.  Which has been

-   with '*' in front.
-   (merge 6e9381469e nb/branch-show-other-worktrees-head later to maint).
-

-Git 2.24 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Updates since v2.23
--------------------
-
-Backward compatibility note
-
- * "filter-branch" is showing its age and alternatives are available.
-   From this release, we started to discourage its use and hint
-   people about filter-repo.
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * We now have an active interim maintainer for the Git-Gui part of
-   the system.  Praise and thank Pratyush Yadav for volunteering.
-
- * The command line parser learned "--end-of-options" notation; the
-   standard convention for scripters to have hardcoded set of options
-   first on the command line, and force the command to treat end-user
-   input as non-options, has been to use "--" as the delimiter, but
-   that would not work for commands that use "--" as a delimiter
-   between revs and pathspec.
-
- * A mechanism to affect the default setting for a (related) group of
-   configuration variables is introduced.
-
- * "git fetch" learned "--set-upstream" option to help those who first
-   clone from their private fork they intend to push to, add the true
-   upstream via "git remote add" and then "git fetch" from it.
-
- * Device-tree files learned their own userdiff patterns.
-   (merge 3c81760bc6 sb/userdiff-dts later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase --rebase-merges" learned to drive different merge
-   strategies and pass strategy specific options to them.
-
- * A new "pre-merge-commit" hook has been introduced.
-
- * Command line completion updates for "git -c var.name=val" have been
-   added.
-
- * The lazy clone machinery has been taught that there can be more
-   than one promisor remote and consult them in order when downloading
-   missing objects on demand.
-
- * The list-objects-filter API (used to create a sparse/lazy clone)
-   learned to take a combined filter specification.
-
- * The documentation and tests for "git format-patch" have been
-   cleaned up.
-
- * On Windows, the root level of UNC share is now allowed to be used
-   just like any other directory.
-
- * The command line completion support (in contrib/) learned about the
-   "--skip" option of "git revert" and "git cherry-pick".
-
- * "git rebase --keep-base <upstream>" tries to find the original base
-   of the topic being rebased and rebase on top of that same base,
-   which is useful when running the "git rebase -i" (and its limited
-   variant "git rebase -x").
-
-   The command also has learned to fast-forward in more cases where it
-   can instead of replaying to recreate identical commits.
-
- * A configuration variable tells "git fetch" to write the commit
-   graph after finishing.
-
- * "git add -i" has been taught to show the total number of hunks and
-   the hunks that has been processed so far when showing prompts.
-
- * "git fetch --jobs=<n>" allowed <n> parallel jobs when fetching
-   submodules, but this did not apply to "git fetch --multiple" that
-   fetches from multiple remote repositories.  It now does.
-
- * The installation instruction for zsh completion script (in
-   contrib/) has been a bit improved.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * The code to write commit-graph over given commit object names has
-   been made a bit more robust.
-
- * The first line of verbose output from each test piece now carries
-   the test name and number to help scanning with eyeballs.
-
- * Further clean-up of the initialization code.
-
- * xmalloc() used to have a mechanism to ditch memory and address
-   space resources as the last resort upon seeing an allocation
-   failure from the underlying malloc(), which made the code complex
-   and thread-unsafe with dubious benefit, as major memory resource
-   users already do limit their uses with various other mechanisms.
-   It has been simplified away.
-
- * Unnecessary full-tree diff in "git log -L" machinery has been
-   optimized away.
-
- * The http transport lacked some optimization the native transports
-   learned to avoid unnecessary ref advertisement, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Preparation for SHA-256 upgrade continues in the test department.
-   (merge 0c37c41d13 bc/hash-independent-tests-part-5 later to maint).
-
- * The memory ownership model of the "git fast-import" got
-   straightened out.
-
- * Output from trace2 subsystem is formatted more prettily now.
-
- * The internal code originally invented for ".gitignore" processing
-   got reshuffled and renamed to make it less tied to "excluding" and
-   stress more that it is about "matching", as it has been reused for
-   things like sparse checkout specification that want to check if a
-   path is "included".
-
- * "git stash" learned to write refreshed index back to disk.
-
- * Coccinelle checks are done on more source files than before now.
-
- * The cache-tree code has been taught to be less aggressive in
-   attempting to see if a tree object it computed already exists in
-   the repository.
-
- * The code to parse and use the commit-graph file has been made more
-   robust against corrupted input.
-
- * The hg-to-git script (in contrib/) has been updated to work with
-   Python 3.
-
- * Update the way build artifacts in t/helper/ directory are ignored.
-
- * Preparation for SHA-256 upgrade continues.
-
- * "git log --graph" for an octopus merge is sometimes colored
-   incorrectly, which is demonstrated and documented but not yet
-   fixed.
-
- * The trace2 output, when sending them to files in a designated
-   directory, can populate the directory with too many files; a
-   mechanism is introduced to set the maximum number of files and
-   discard further logs when the maximum is reached.
-
- * We have adopted a Code-of-conduct document.
-   (merge 3f9ef874a7 jk/coc later to maint).
-
-
-Fixes since v2.23
------------------
-
- * "git grep --recurse-submodules" that looks at the working tree
-   files looked at the contents in the index in submodules, instead of
-   files in the working tree.
-   (merge 6a289d45c0 mt/grep-submodules-working-tree later to maint).
-
- * Codepaths to walk tree objects have been audited for integer
-   overflows and hardened.
-   (merge 5aa02f9868 jk/tree-walk-overflow later to maint).
-
- * "git pack-refs" can lose refs that are created while running, which
-   is getting corrected.
-   (merge a613d4f817 sc/pack-refs-deletion-racefix later to maint).
-
- * "git checkout" and "git restore" to re-populate the index from a
-   tree-ish (typically HEAD) did not work correctly for a path that
-   was removed and then added again with the intent-to-add bit, when
-   the corresponding working tree file was empty.  This has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Compilation fix.
-   (merge 70597e8386 rs/nedalloc-fixlets later to maint).
-
- * "git gui" learned to call the clean-up procedure before exiting.
-   (merge 0d88f3d2c5 py/git-gui-do-quit later to maint).
-
- * We promoted the "indent heuristics" that decides where to split
-   diff hunks from experimental to the default a few years ago, but
-   some stale documentation still marked it as experimental, which has
-   been corrected.
-   (merge 64e5e1fba1 sg/diff-indent-heuristic-non-experimental later to maint).
-
- * Fix a mismerge that happened in 2.22 timeframe.
-   (merge acb7da05ac en/checkout-mismerge-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git archive" recorded incorrect length in extended pax header in
-   some corner cases, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 71d41ff651 rs/pax-extended-header-length-fix later to maint).
-
- * On-demand object fetching in lazy clone incorrectly tried to fetch
-   commits from submodule projects, while still working in the
-   superproject, which has been corrected.
-   (merge a63694f523 jt/diff-lazy-fetch-submodule-fix later to maint).
-
- * Prepare get_short_oid() codepath to be thread-safe.
-   (merge 7cfcb16b0e rs/sort-oid-array-thread-safe later to maint).
-
- * "for-each-ref" and friends that show refs did not protect themselves
-   against ancient tags that did not record tagger names when asked to
-   show "%(taggername)", which have been corrected.
-   (merge 8b3f33ef11 mp/for-each-ref-missing-name-or-email later to maint).
-
- * The "git am" based backend of "git rebase" ignored the result of
-   updating ".gitattributes" done in one step when replaying
-   subsequent steps.
-   (merge 2c65d90f75 bc/reread-attributes-during-rebase later to maint).
-
- * Tell cURL library to use the same malloc() implementation, with the
-   xmalloc() wrapper, as the rest of the system, for consistency.
-   (merge 93b980e58f cb/curl-use-xmalloc later to maint).
-
- * Build fix to adjust .gitignore to unignore a path that we started to track.
-   (merge aac6ff7b5b js/visual-studio later to maint).
-
- * A few implementation fixes in the notes API.
-   (merge 60fe477a0b mh/notes-duplicate-entries later to maint).
-
- * Fix an earlier regression to "git push --all" which should have
-   been forbidden when the target remote repository is set to be a
-   mirror.
-   (merge 8e4c8af058 tg/push-all-in-mirror-forbidden later to maint).
-
- * Fix an earlier regression in the test suite, which mistakenly
-   stopped running HTTPD tests.
-   (merge 3960290675 sg/git-test-boolean later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase --autostash <upstream> <branch>", when <branch> is
-   different from the current branch, incorrectly moved the tip of the
-   current branch, which has been corrected.
-   (merge bf1e28e0ad bw/rebase-autostash-keep-current-branch later to maint).
-
- * Update support for Asciidoctor documentation toolchain.
-   (merge 83b0b8953e ma/asciidoctor-refmiscinfo later to maint).
-
- * Start using DocBook 5 (instead of DocBook 4.5) as Asciidoctor 2.0
-   no longer works with the older one.
-   (merge f6461b82b9 bc/doc-use-docbook-5 later to maint).
-
- * The markup used in user-manual has been updated to work better with
-   asciidoctor.
-   (merge c4d2f6143a ma/user-manual-markup-update later to maint).
-
- * Make sure the grep machinery does not abort when seeing a payload
-   that is not UTF-8 even when JIT is not in use with PCRE1.
-   (merge ad7c543e3b cb/skip-utf8-check-with-pcre1 later to maint).
-
- * The name of the blob object that stores the filter specification
-   for sparse cloning/fetching was interpreted in a wrong place in the
-   code, causing Git to abort.
-
- * "git log --decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>" was incorrectly
-   overruled when the "--simplify-by-decoration" option is used, which
-   has been corrected.
-   (merge 0cc7380d88 rs/simplify-by-deco-with-deco-refs-exclude later to maint).
-
- * The "upload-pack" (the counterpart of "git fetch") needs to disable
-   commit-graph when responding to a shallow clone/fetch request, but
-   the way this was done made Git panic, which has been corrected.
-
- * The object traversal machinery has been optimized not to load tree
-   objects when we are only interested in commit history.
-   (merge 72ed80c784 jk/list-objects-optim-wo-trees later to maint).
-
- * The object name parser for "Nth parent" syntax has been made more
-   robust against integer overflows.
-   (merge 59fa5f5a25 rs/nth-parent-parse later to maint).
-
- * The code used in following tags in "git fetch" has been optimized.
-   (merge b7e2d8bca5 ms/fetch-follow-tag-optim later to maint).
-
- * Regression fix for progress output.
-   (merge 2bb74b53a4 sg/progress-fix later to maint).
-
- * A bug in merge-recursive code that triggers when a branch with a
-   symbolic link is merged with a branch that replaces it with a
-   directory has been fixed.
-   (merge 83e3ad3b12 jt/merge-recursive-symlink-is-not-a-dir-in-way later to maint).
-
- * The rename detection logic sorts a list of rename source candidates
-   by similarity to pick the best candidate, which means that a tie
-   between sources with the same similarity is broken by the original
-   location in the original candidate list (which is sorted by path).
-   Force the sorting by similarity done with a stable sort, which is
-   not promised by system supplied qsort(3), to ensure consistent
-   results across platforms.
-   (merge 2049b8dc65 js/diff-rename-force-stable-sort later to maint).
-
- * The code to skip "UTF" and "UTF-" prefix, when computing an advice
-   message, did not work correctly when the prefix was "UTF", which
-   has been fixed.
-   (merge b181676ce9 rs/convert-fix-utf-without-dash later to maint).
-
- * The author names taken from SVN repositories may have extra leading
-   or trailing whitespaces, which are now munged away.
-   (merge 4ddd4bddb1 tk/git-svn-trim-author-name later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase -i" showed a wrong HEAD while "reword" open the editor.
-   (merge b0a3186140 pw/rebase-i-show-HEAD-to-reword later to maint).
-
- * A few simplification and bugfixes to PCRE interface.
-   (merge c581e4a749 ab/pcre-jit-fixes later to maint).
-
- * PCRE fixes.
-   (merge ff61681b46 cb/pcre1-cleanup later to maint).
-
- * "git range-diff" segfaulted when diff.noprefix configuration was
-   used, as it blindly expected the patch it internally generates to
-   have the standard a/ and b/ prefixes.  The command now forces the
-   internal patch to be built without any prefix, not to be affected
-   by any end-user configuration.
-   (merge 937b76ed49 js/range-diff-noprefix later to maint).
-
- * "git stash apply" in a subdirectory of a secondary worktree failed
-   to access the worktree correctly, which has been corrected.
-   (merge dfd557c978 js/stash-apply-in-secondary-worktree later to maint).
-
- * The merge-recursive machinery is one of the most complex parts of
-   the system that accumulated cruft over time.  This large series
-   cleans up the implementation quite a bit.
-   (merge b657047719 en/merge-recursive-cleanup later to maint).
-
- * Pretty-printed command line formatter (used in e.g. reporting the
-   command being run by the tracing API) had a bug that lost an
-   argument that is an empty string, which has been corrected.
-   (merge ce2d7ed2fd gs/sq-quote-buf-pretty later to maint).
-
- * "git range-diff" failed to handle mode-only change, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 2b6a9b13ca tg/range-diff-output-update later to maint).
-
- * Dev support update.
-   (merge 4f3c1dc5d6 dl/allow-running-cocci-verbosely later to maint).
-
- * "git format-patch -o <outdir>" did an equivalent of "mkdir <outdir>"
-   not "mkdir -p <outdir>", which was corrected.
-
- * "git stash save" lost local changes to submodules, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 556895d0c8 jj/stash-reset-only-toplevel later to maint).
-
- * The atomic push over smart HTTP transport did not work, which has
-   been corrected.
-   (merge 6f1194246a bc/smart-http-atomic-push later to maint).
-
- * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
-   (merge d1387d3895 en/fast-import-merge-doc later to maint).

-Git 2.25 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Updates since v2.24
--------------------
-
-Backward compatibility notes
-
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * A tutorial on object enumeration has been added.
-
- * The branch description ("git branch --edit-description") has been
-   used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch
-   command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be
-   filled.
-
- * "git rebase --preserve-merges" has been marked as deprecated; this
-   release stops advertising it in the "git rebase -h" output.
-
- * The code to generate multi-pack index learned to show (or not to
-   show) progress indicators.
-
- * "git apply --3way" learned to honor merge.conflictStyle
-   configuration variable, like merges would.
-
- * The custom format for "git log --format=<format>" learned the l/L
-   placeholder that is similar to e/E that fills in the e-mail
-   address, but only the local part on the left side of '@'.
-
- * Documentation pages for "git shortlog" now list commit limiting
-   options explicitly.
-
- * The patterns to detect function boundary for Elixir language has
-   been added.
-
- * The completion script (in contrib/) learned that the "--onto"
-   option of "git rebase" can take its argument as the value of the
-   option.
-
- * The userdiff machinery has been taught that "async def" is another
-   way to begin a "function" in Python.
-
- * "git range-diff" learned to take the "--notes=<ref>" and the
-   "--no-notes" options to control the commit notes included in the
-   log message that gets compared.
-
- * "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" run outside of any working tree did
-   not error out, which has been corrected.
-
- * A few commands learned to take the pathspec from the standard input
-   or a named file, instead of taking it as the command line
-   arguments, with the "--pathspec-from-file" option.
-
- * "git rebase -i" learned a few options that are known by "git
-   rebase" proper.
-
- * "git submodule" learned a subcommand "set-url".
-
- * "git log" family learned "--pretty=reference" that gives the name
-   of a commit in the format that is often used to refer to it in log
-   messages.
-
- * The interaction between "git clone --recurse-submodules" and
-   alternate object store was ill-designed.  The documentation and
-   code have been taught to make more clear recommendations when the
-   users see failures.
-
- * Management of sparsely checked-out working tree has gained a
-   dedicated "sparse-checkout" command.
-
- * Miscellaneous small UX improvements on "git-p4".
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * Debugging support for lazy cloning has been a bit improved.
-
- * Move the definition of a set of bitmask constants from 0ctal
-   literal to (1U<<count) notation.
-
- * Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues.
-
- * Crufty code and logic accumulated over time around the object
-   parsing and low-level object access used in "git fsck" have been
-   cleaned up.
-
- * The implementation of "git log --graph" got refactored and then its
-   output got simplified.
-
- * Follow recent push to move API docs from Documentation/ to header
-   files and update config.h
-
- * "git bundle" has been taught to use the parse options API.  "git
-   bundle verify" learned "--quiet" and "git bundle create" learned
-   options to control the progress output.
-
- * Handling of commit objects that use non UTF-8 encoding during
-   "rebase -i" has been improved.
-
- * The beginning of rewriting "git add -i" in C.
-
- * A label used in the todo list that are generated by "git rebase
-   --rebase-merges" is used as a part of a refname; the logic to come
-   up with the label has been tightened to avoid names that cannot be
-   used as such.
-
- * The logic to avoid duplicate label names generated by "git rebase
-   --rebase-merges" forgot that the machinery itself uses "onto" as a
-   label name, which must be avoided by auto-generated labels, which
-   has been corrected.
-
- * We have had compatibility fallback macro definitions for "PRIuMAX",
-   "PRIu32", etc. but did not for "PRIdMAX", while the code used the
-   last one apparently without any hiccup reported recently.  The
-   fallback macro definitions for these <inttypes.h> macros that must
-   appear in C99 systems have been removed.
-
- * Recently we have declared that GIT_TEST_* variables take the
-   usual boolean values (it used to be that some used "non-empty
-   means true" and taking GIT_TEST_VAR=YesPlease as true); make
-   sure we notice and fail when non-bool strings are given to
-   these variables.
-
- * Users of oneway_merge() (like "reset --hard") learned to take
-   advantage of fsmonitor to avoid unnecessary lstat(2) calls.
-
- * Performance tweak on "git push" into a repository with many refs
-   that point at objects we have never heard of.
-
- * PerfTest fix to avoid stale result mixed up with the latest round
-   of test results.
-
- * Hide lower-level verify_signed-buffer() API as a pure helper to
-   implement the public check_signature() function, in order to
-   encourage new callers to use the correct and more strict
-   validation.
-
- * Unnecessary reading of state variables back from the disk during
-   sequencer operation has been reduced.
-
- * The code has been made to avoid gmtime() and localtime() and prefer
-   their reentrant counterparts.
-
- * The effort to reimplement "git add -i" in C continues.
-
- * In a repository with many packfiles, the cost of the procedure that
-   avoids registering the same packfile twice was unnecessarily high
-   by using an inefficient search algorithm, which has been corrected.
-
- * Redo "git name-rev" to avoid recursive calls.
-
- * FreeBSD CI support via Cirrus-CI has been added.
-
-
-Fixes since v2.24
------------------
-
- * "rebase -i" ceased to run post-commit hook by mistake in an earlier
-   update, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git notes copy $original" ought to copy the notes attached to the
-   original object to HEAD, but a mistaken tightening to command line
-   parameter validation made earlier disabled that feature by mistake.
-
- * When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root
-   directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that
-   as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has
-   been corrected.
-
- * Code clean-up and a bugfix in the logic used to tell worktree local
-   and repository global refs apart.
-   (merge f45f88b2e4 sg/dir-trie-fixes later to maint).
-
- * "git stash save" in a working tree that is sparsely checked out
-   mistakenly removed paths that are outside the area of interest.
-   (merge 4a58c3d7f7 js/update-index-ignore-removal-for-skip-worktree later to maint).
-
- * "git rev-parse --git-path HEAD.lock" did not give the right path
-   when run in a secondary worktree.
-   (merge 76a53d640f js/git-path-head-dot-lock-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git merge --no-commit" needs "--no-ff" if you do not want to move
-   HEAD, which has been corrected in the manual page for "git bisect".
-   (merge 8dd327b246 ma/bisect-doc-sample-update later to maint).
-
- * "git worktree add" internally calls "reset --hard" that should not
-   descend into submodules, even when submodule.recurse configuration
-   is set, but it was affected.  This has been corrected.
-   (merge 4782cf2ab6 pb/no-recursive-reset-hard-in-worktree-add later to maint).
-
- * Messages from die() etc. can be mixed up from multiple processes
-   without even line buffering on Windows, which has been worked
-   around.
-   (merge 116d1fa6c6 js/vreportf-wo-buffering later to maint).
-
- * HTTP transport had possible allocator/deallocator mismatch, which
-   has been corrected.
-
- * The watchman integration for fsmonitor was racy, which has been
-   corrected to be more conservative.
-   (merge dd0b61f577 kw/fsmonitor-watchman-fix later to maint).
-
- * Fetching from multiple remotes into the same repository in parallel
-   had a bad interaction with the recent change to (optionally) update
-   the commit-graph after a fetch job finishes, as these parallel
-   fetches compete with each other.  Which has been corrected.
-
- * Recent update to "git stash pop" made the command empty the index
-   when run with the "--quiet" option, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git fetch" codepath had a big "do not lazily fetch missing objects
-   when I ask if something exists" switch.  This has been corrected by
-   marking the "does this thing exist?" calls with "if not please do not
-   lazily fetch it" flag.
-
- * Test update to avoid wasted cycles.
-   (merge e0316695ec sg/skip-skipped-prereq later to maint).
-
- * Error handling after "git push" finishes sending the packdata and
-   waits for the response to the remote side has been improved.
-   (merge ad7a403268 jk/send-pack-remote-failure later to maint).
-
- * Some codepaths in "gitweb" that forgot to escape URLs generated
-   based on end-user input have been corrected.
-   (merge a376e37b2c jk/gitweb-anti-xss later to maint).
-
- * CI jobs for macOS has been made less chatty when updating perforce
-   package used during testing.
-   (merge 0dbc4a0edf jc/azure-ci-osx-fix-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git unpack-objects" used to show progress based only on the number
-   of received and unpacked objects, which stalled when it has to
-   handle an unusually large object.  It now shows the throughput as
-   well.
-   (merge bae60ba7e9 sg/unpack-progress-throughput later to maint).
-
- * The sequencer machinery compared the HEAD and the state it is
-   attempting to commit to decide if the result would be a no-op
-   commit, even when amending a commit, which was incorrect, and
-   has been corrected.
-
- * The code to parse GPG output used to assume incorrectly that the
-   finterprint for the primary key would always be present for a valid
-   signature, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 67a6ea6300 hi/gpg-optional-pkfp-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git submodule status" and "git submodule status --cached" show
-   different things, but the documentation did not cover them
-   correctly, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 8d483c8408 mg/doc-submodule-status-cached later to maint).
-
- * "git reset --patch $object" without any pathspec should allow a
-   tree object to be given, but incorrectly required a committish,
-   which has been corrected.
-
- * "git submodule status" that is run from a subdirectory of the
-   superproject did not work well, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 1f3aea22c7 mg/submodule-status-from-a-subdirectory later to maint).
-
- * The revision walking machinery uses resources like per-object flag
-   bits that need to be reset before a new iteration of walking
-   begins, but the resources related to topological walk were not
-   cleared correctly, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 0aa0c2b2ec mh/clear-topo-walk-upon-reset later to maint).
-
- * TravisCI update.
-   (merge 176441bfb5 sg/osx-force-gcc-9 later to maint).
-
- * While running "revert" or "cherry-pick --edit" for multiple
-   commits, a recent regression incorrectly detected "nothing to
-   commit, working tree clean", instead of replaying the commits,
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge befd4f6a81 sg/assume-no-todo-update-in-cherry-pick later to maint).
-
- * Work around a issue where a FD that is left open when spawning a
-   child process and is kept open in the child can interfere with the
-   operation in the parent process on Windows.
-
- * One kind of progress messages were always given during commit-graph
-   generation, instead of following the "if it takes more than two
-   seconds, show progress" pattern, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git rebase" did not work well when format.useAutoBase
-   configuration variable is set, which has been corrected.
-
- * The "diff" machinery learned not to lose added/removed blank lines
-   in the context when --ignore-blank-lines and --function-context are
-   used at the same time.
-   (merge 0bb313a552 rs/xdiff-ignore-ws-w-func-context later to maint).
-
- * The test on "fast-import" used to get stuck when "fast-import" died
-   in the middle.
-   (merge 0d9b0d7885 sg/t9300-robustify later to maint).
-
- * "git format-patch" can take a set of configured format.notes values
-   to specify which notes refs to use in the log message part of the
-   output.  The behaviour of this was not consistent with multiple
-   --notes command line options, which has been corrected.
-   (merge e0f9095aaa dl/format-patch-notes-config-fixup later to maint).
-
- * "git p4" used to ignore lfs.storage configuration variable, which
-   has been corrected.
-   (merge ea94b16fb8 rb/p4-lfs later to maint).
-
- * Assorted fixes to the directory traversal API.
-   (merge 6836d2fe06 en/fill-directory-fixes later to maint).
-
- * Forbid pathnames that the platform's filesystem cannot represent on
-   MinGW.
-   (merge 4dc42c6c18 js/mingw-reserved-filenames later to maint).

- * "git rebase --signoff" stopped working when the command was written

-to pass in one-time configurations or `-p` to force pagination. For example,
-`loud-rebase = -c commit.verbose=true rebase` can be defined such that
-running `git loud-rebase` would be equivalent to

-branch.<name>.pushRemote::
-	When on branch <name>, it overrides `branch.<name>.remote` for

-branch.<name>.merge::
-	Defines, together with branch.<name>.remote, the upstream branch

-	When in branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' the default
-	refspec to be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value is
-	handled like the remote part of a refspec, and must match a
-	ref which is fetched from the remote given by
-	"branch.<name>.remote".
-	The merge information is used by 'git pull' (which at first calls
-	'git fetch') to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
-	this option, 'git pull' defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
-	Specify multiple values to get an octopus merge.
-	If you wish to setup 'git pull' so that it merges into <name> from

-	supported options are the same as those of linkgit:git-merge[1], but
-	option values containing whitespace characters are currently not
-	supported.
-
-branch.<name>.rebase::
-	When true, rebase the branch <name> on top of the fetched branch,
-	instead of merging the default branch from the default remote when
-	"git pull" is run. See "pull.rebase" for doing this in a non
-	branch-specific manner.

-When `merges`, pass the `--rebase-merges` option to 'git rebase'

-	linkgit:git-status[1]. May be set to `always`,
-	`false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used
-	only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the
-	value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
-
-color.status.<slot>::
-	Use customized color for status colorization. `<slot>` is
-	one of `header` (the header text of the status message),
-	`added` or `updated` (files which are added but not committed),
-	`changed` (files which are changed but not added in the index),
-	`untracked` (files which are not tracked by Git),

-	`localBranch` or `remoteBranch` (the local and remote branch names,
-	respectively, when branch and tracking information is displayed in the
-	status short-format), or
-	`unmerged` (files which have unmerged changes).
-
-color.transport::
-	A boolean to enable/disable color when pushes are rejected. May be
-	set to `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which
-	case colors are used only when the error output goes to a terminal.
-	If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
-
-color.transport.rejected::
-	Use customized color when a push was rejected.
-
-color.ui::
-	This variable determines the default value for variables such
-	as `color.diff` and `color.grep` that control the use of color
-	per command family. Its scope will expand as more commands learn
-	configuration to set a default for the `--color` option.  Set it
-	to `false` or `never` if you prefer Git commands not to use
-	color unless enabled explicitly with some other configuration
-	or the `--color` option. Set it to `always` if you want all
-	output not intended for machine consumption to use color, to
-	`true` or `auto` (this is the default since Git 1.8.4) if you
-	want such output to use color when written to the terminal.

-The default is false, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
-will probe and set core.ignoreCase true if appropriate when the repository
-is created.
-+
-Git relies on the proper configuration of this variable for your operating
-and file system. Modifying this value may result in unexpected behavior.
-
-core.precomposeUnicode::
-	This option is only used by Mac OS implementation of Git.
-	When core.precomposeUnicode=true, Git reverts the unicode decomposition
-	of filenames done by Mac OS. This is useful when sharing a repository
-	between Mac OS and Linux or Windows.
-	(Git for Windows 1.7.10 or higher is needed, or Git under cygwin 1.7).
-	When false, file names are handled fully transparent by Git,
-	which is backward compatible with older versions of Git.
-
-core.protectHFS::
-	If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
-	be considered equivalent to `.git` on an HFS+ filesystem.
-	Defaults to `true` on Mac OS, and `false` elsewhere.
-
-core.protectNTFS::
-	If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
-	cause problems with the NTFS filesystem, e.g. conflict with
-	8.3 "short" names.
-	Defaults to `true` on Windows, and `false` elsewhere.
-
-core.fsmonitor::
-	If set, the value of this variable is used as a command which
-	will identify all files that may have changed since the

-	avoiding unnecessary processing of files that have not changed.
-	See the "fsmonitor-watchman" section of linkgit:githooks[5].

-	If true, the split-index feature of the index will be used.
-	See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. False by default.
-
-core.untrackedCache::
-	Determines what to do about the untracked cache feature of the
-	index. It will be kept, if this variable is unset or set to
-	`keep`. It will automatically be added if set to `true`. And
-	it will automatically be removed, if set to `false`. Before
-	setting it to `true`, you should check that mtime is working
-	properly on your system.
-	See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. `keep` by default, unless

-	`true` by default.
-
-core.checkStat::
-	When missing or is set to `default`, many fields in the stat
-	structure are checked to detect if a file has been modified
-	since Git looked at it.  When this configuration variable is
-	set to `minimal`, sub-second part of mtime and ctime, the
-	uid and gid of the owner of the file, the inode number (and
-	the device number, if Git was compiled to use it), are
-	excluded from the check among these fields, leaving only the
-	whole-second part of mtime (and ctime, if `core.trustCtime`
-	is set) and the filesize to be checked.
-+
-There are implementations of Git that do not leave usable values in
-some fields (e.g. JGit); by excluding these fields from the
-comparison, the `minimal` mode may help interoperability when the
-same repository is used by these other systems at the same time.
-
-core.quotePath::
-	Commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files', 'diff'), will
-	quote "unusual" characters in the pathname by enclosing the
-	pathname in double-quotes and escaping those characters with
-	backslashes in the same way C escapes control characters (e.g.
-	`\t` for TAB, `\n` for LF, `\\` for backslash) or bytes with
-	values larger than 0x80 (e.g. octal `\302\265` for "micro" in
-	UTF-8).  If this variable is set to false, bytes higher than
-	0x80 are not considered "unusual" any more. Double-quotes,
-	backslash and control characters are always escaped regardless
-	of the setting of this variable.  A simple space character is
-	not considered "unusual".  Many commands can output pathnames
-	completely verbatim using the `-z` option. The default value
-	is true.
-
-core.eol::
-	Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
-	files that are marked as text (either by having the `text`
-	attribute set, or by having `text=auto` and Git auto-detecting
-	the contents as text).
-	Alternatives are 'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's
-	native line ending.  The default value is `native`.  See
-	linkgit:gitattributes[5] for more information on end-of-line
-	conversion. Note that this value is ignored if `core.autocrlf`
-	is set to `true` or `input`.
-
-core.safecrlf::
-	If true, makes Git check if converting `CRLF` is reversible when
-	end-of-line conversion is active.  Git will verify if a command
-	modifies a file in the work tree either directly or indirectly.
-	For example, committing a file followed by checking out the
-	same file should yield the original file in the work tree.  If
-	this is not the case for the current setting of
-	`core.autocrlf`, Git will reject the file.  The variable can
-	be set to "warn", in which case Git will only warn about an
-	irreversible conversion but continue the operation.
-+
-CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
-When it is enabled, Git will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
-CRLF during checkout.  A file that contains a mixture of LF and
-CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by Git.  For text
-files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
-such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
-But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
-conversion can corrupt data.
-+
-If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
-setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes.  Right
-after committing you still have the original file in your work
-tree and this file is not yet corrupted.  You can explicitly tell
-Git that this file is binary and Git will handle the file
-appropriately.
-+
-Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
-mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
-files cannot be distinguished.  In both cases CRLFs are removed
-in an irreversible way.  For text files this is the right thing
-to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
-converting CRLFs corrupts data.
-+
-Note, this safety check does not mean that a checkout will generate a
-file identical to the original file for a different setting of
-`core.eol` and `core.autocrlf`, but only for the current one.  For
-example, a text file with `LF` would be accepted with `core.eol=lf`
-and could later be checked out with `core.eol=crlf`, in which case the
-resulting file would contain `CRLF`, although the original file
-contained `LF`.  However, in both work trees the line endings would be
-consistent, that is either all `LF` or all `CRLF`, but never mixed.  A
-file with mixed line endings would be reported by the `core.safecrlf`
-mechanism.
-
-core.autocrlf::
-	Setting this variable to "true" is the same as setting
-	the `text` attribute to "auto" on all files and core.eol to "crlf".
-	Set to true if you want to have `CRLF` line endings in your
-	working directory and the repository has LF line endings.
-	This variable can be set to 'input',
-	in which case no output conversion is performed.
-
-core.checkRoundtripEncoding::
-	A comma and/or whitespace separated list of encodings that Git
-	performs UTF-8 round trip checks on if they are used in an
-	`working-tree-encoding` attribute (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
-	The default value is `SHIFT-JIS`.
-
-core.symlinks::
-	If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
-	contain the link text. linkgit:git-update-index[1] and
-	linkgit:git-add[1] will not change the recorded type to regular
-	file. Useful on filesystems like FAT that do not support
-	symbolic links.
-+
-The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
-will probe and set core.symlinks false if appropriate when the repository
-is created.
-
-core.gitProxy::
-	A "proxy command" to execute (as 'command host port') instead
-	of establishing direct connection to the remote server when
-	using the Git protocol for fetching. If the variable value is
-	in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only
-	on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable
-	may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order;
-	the first match wins.
-+
-Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_COMMAND` environment variable
-(which always applies universally, without the special "for"
-handling).
-+
-The special string `none` can be used as the proxy command to
-specify that no proxy be used for a given domain pattern.
-This is useful for excluding servers inside a firewall from
-proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
-
-core.sshCommand::
-	If this variable is set, `git fetch` and `git push` will
-	use the specified command instead of `ssh` when they need to
-	connect to a remote system. The command is in the same form as
-	the `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` environment variable and is overridden
-	when the environment variable is set.
-
-core.ignoreStat::
-	If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
-	changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
-	which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
-+
-When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
-the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
-linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
-Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
-+
-This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
-CIFS/Microsoft Windows.
-+
-False by default.
-
-core.preferSymlinkRefs::
-	Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD
-	and other symbolic reference files, use symbolic links.
-	This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that
-	expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
-
-core.alternateRefsCommand::
-	When advertising tips of available history from an alternate, use the shell to
-	execute the specified command instead of linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. The
-	first argument is the absolute path of the alternate. Output must contain one
-	hex object id per line (i.e., the same as produced by `git for-each-ref
-	--format='%(objectname)'`).
-+
-Note that you cannot generally put `git for-each-ref` directly into the config
-value, as it does not take a repository path as an argument (but you can wrap
-the command above in a shell script).
-
-core.alternateRefsPrefixes::
-	When listing references from an alternate, list only references that begin
-	with the given prefix. Prefixes match as if they were given as arguments to
-	linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. To list multiple prefixes, separate them with
-	whitespace. If `core.alternateRefsCommand` is set, setting
-	`core.alternateRefsPrefixes` has no effect.
-
-core.bare::
-	If true this repository is assumed to be 'bare' and has no
-	working directory associated with it.  If this is the case a
-	number of commands that require a working directory will be
-	disabled, such as linkgit:git-add[1] or linkgit:git-merge[1].
-+
-This setting is automatically guessed by linkgit:git-clone[1] or
-linkgit:git-init[1] when the repository was created.  By default a
-repository that ends in "/.git" is assumed to be not bare (bare =
-false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare
-= true).
-
-core.worktree::
-	Set the path to the root of the working tree.
-	If `GIT_COMMON_DIR` environment variable is set, core.worktree
-	is ignored and not used for determining the root of working tree.
-	This can be overridden by the `GIT_WORK_TREE` environment
-	variable and the `--work-tree` command-line option.
-	The value can be an absolute path or relative to the path to
-	the .git directory, which is either specified by --git-dir
-	or GIT_DIR, or automatically discovered.
-	If --git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified but none of
-	--work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
-	the current working directory is regarded as the top level
-	of your working tree.
-+
-Note that this variable is honored even when set in a configuration
-file in a ".git" subdirectory of a directory and its value differs
-from the latter directory (e.g. "/path/to/.git/config" has
-core.worktree set to "/different/path"), which is most likely a
-misconfiguration.  Running Git commands in the "/path/to" directory will
-still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
-confusion unless you know what you are doing (e.g. you are creating a
-read-only snapshot of the same index to a location different from the
-repository's usual working tree).
-
-core.logAllRefUpdates::
-	Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
-	"`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`", by appending the new and old
-	SHA-1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
-	only when the file exists.  If this configuration
-	variable is set to `true`, missing "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`"
-	file is automatically created for branch heads (i.e. under
-	`refs/heads/`), remote refs (i.e. under `refs/remotes/`),
-	note refs (i.e. under `refs/notes/`), and the symbolic ref `HEAD`.
-	If it is set to `always`, then a missing reflog is automatically
-	created for any ref under `refs/`.
-+
-This information can be used to determine what commit
-was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
-+
-This value is true by default in a repository that has
-a working directory associated with it, and false by
-default in a bare repository.
-
-core.repositoryFormatVersion::
-	Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
-	version.
-
-core.sharedRepository::
-	When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between
-	several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are
-	group-writable). When 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'), the
-	repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being
-	group-shareable. When 'umask' (or 'false'), Git will use permissions
-	reported by umask(2). When '0xxx', where '0xxx' is an octal number,
-	files in the repository will have this mode value. '0xxx' will override
-	user's umask value (whereas the other options will only override
-	requested parts of the user's umask value). Examples: '0660' will make
-	the repo read/write-able for the owner and group, but inaccessible to
-	others (equivalent to 'group' unless umask is e.g. '0022'). '0640' is a
-	repository that is group-readable but not group-writable.
-	See linkgit:git-init[1]. False by default.
-
-core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
-	If true, Git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
-	and might match multiple refs in the repository. True by default.
-
-core.compression::
-	An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
-	-1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
-	and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.
-	If set, this provides a default to other compression variables,
-	such as `core.looseCompression` and `pack.compression`.
-
-core.looseCompression::
-	An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
-	are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
-	compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
-	slowest.  If not set,  defaults to core.compression.  If that is
-	not set,  defaults to 1 (best speed).
-
-core.packedGitWindowSize::
-	Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
-	single mapping operation.  Larger window sizes may allow
-	your system to process a smaller number of large pack files
-	more quickly.  Smaller window sizes will negatively affect
-	performance due to increased calls to the operating system's
-	memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing
-	a large number of large pack files.
-+
-Default is 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32
-MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms.  This should
-be reasonable for all users/operating systems.  You probably do
-not need to adjust this value.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-
-core.packedGitLimit::
-	Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory
-	from pack files.  If Git needs to access more than this many
-	bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing
-	regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process.
-+
-Default is 256 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 32 TiB (effectively
-unlimited) on 64 bit platforms.
-This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems, except on
-the largest projects.  You probably do not need to adjust this value.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-
-core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
-	Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
-	that may be referenced by multiple deltified objects.  By storing the
-	entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able
-	to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
-	objects multiple times.
-+
-Default is 96 MiB on all platforms.  This should be reasonable
-for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects.
-You probably do not need to adjust this value.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-
-core.bigFileThreshold::
-	Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
-	attempting delta compression.  Storing large files without
-	delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
-	slight expense of increased disk usage. Additionally files
-	larger than this size are always treated as binary.
-+
-Default is 512 MiB on all platforms.  This should be reasonable
-for most projects as source code and other text files can still
-be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-
-core.excludesFile::
-	Specifies the pathname to the file that contains patterns to
-	describe paths that are not meant to be tracked, in addition
-	to `.gitignore` (per-directory) and `.git/info/exclude`.
-	Defaults to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore`.
-	If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/ignore`
-	is used instead. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
-
-core.askPass::
-	Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
-	ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
-	via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the `GIT_ASKPASS`
-	environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
-	`SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
-	prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
-	command-line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
-
-core.attributesFile::
-	In addition to `.gitattributes` (per-directory) and
-	`.git/info/attributes`, Git looks into this file for attributes
-	(see linkgit:gitattributes[5]). Path expansions are made the same
-	way as for `core.excludesFile`. Its default value is
-	`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes`. If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not
-	set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/attributes` is used instead.
-
-core.hooksPath::
-	By default Git will look for your hooks in the
-	`$GIT_DIR/hooks` directory. Set this to different path,
-	e.g. `/etc/git/hooks`, and Git will try to find your hooks in
-	that directory, e.g. `/etc/git/hooks/pre-receive` instead of
-	in `$GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive`.
-+
-The path can be either absolute or relative. A relative path is
-taken as relative to the directory where the hooks are run (see
-the "DESCRIPTION" section of linkgit:githooks[5]).
-+
-This configuration variable is useful in cases where you'd like to
-centrally configure your Git hooks instead of configuring them on a
-per-repository basis, or as a more flexible and centralized
-alternative to having an `init.templateDir` where you've changed
-default hooks.
-
-core.editor::
-	Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
-	messages by launching an editor use the value of this
-	variable when it is set, and the environment variable
-	`GIT_EDITOR` is not set.  See linkgit:git-var[1].
-
-core.commentChar::
-	Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
-	messages consider a line that begins with this character
-	commented, and removes them after the editor returns
-	(default '#').
-+
-If set to "auto", `git-commit` would select a character that is not
-the beginning character of any line in existing commit messages.
-
-core.filesRefLockTimeout::
-	The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
-	lock an individual reference. Value 0 means not to retry at
-	all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 100 (i.e.,
-	retry for 100ms).
-
-core.packedRefsTimeout::
-	The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
-	lock the `packed-refs` file. Value 0 means not to retry at
-	all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e.,
-	retry for 1 second).
-
-core.pager::
-	Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., 'less').  The value
-	is meant to be interpreted by the shell.  The order of preference
-	is the `$GIT_PAGER` environment variable, then `core.pager`
-	configuration, then `$PAGER`, and then the default chosen at
-	compile time (usually 'less').
-+
-When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets it to `FRX`
-(if `LESS` environment variable is set, Git does not change it at
-all).  If you want to selectively override Git's default setting
-for `LESS`, you can set `core.pager` to e.g. `less -S`.  This will
-be passed to the shell by Git, which will translate the final
-command to `LESS=FRX less -S`. The environment does not set the
-`S` option but the command line does, instructing less to truncate
-long lines. Similarly, setting `core.pager` to `less -+F` will
-deactivate the `F` option specified by the environment from the
-command-line, deactivating the "quit if one screen" behavior of
-`less`.  One can specifically activate some flags for particular
-commands: for example, setting `pager.blame` to `less -S` enables
-line truncation only for `git blame`.
-+
-Likewise, when the `LV` environment variable is unset, Git sets it
-to `-c`.  You can override this setting by exporting `LV` with
-another value or setting `core.pager` to `lv +c`.
-
-core.whitespace::
-	A comma separated list of common whitespace problems to
-	notice.  'git diff' will use `color.diff.whitespace` to
-	highlight them, and 'git apply --whitespace=error' will
-	consider them as errors.  You can prefix `-` to disable
-	any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):
-+
-* `blank-at-eol` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
-  as an error (enabled by default).
-* `space-before-tab` treats a space character that appears immediately
-  before a tab character in the initial indent part of the line as an
-  error (enabled by default).
-* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with space
-  characters instead of the equivalent tabs as an error (not enabled by
-  default).
-* `tab-in-indent` treats a tab character in the initial indent part of
-  the line as an error (not enabled by default).
-* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
-  (enabled by default).
-* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and
-  `blank-at-eof`.
-* `cr-at-eol` treats a carriage-return at the end of line as
-  part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`
-  does not trigger if the character before such a carriage-return
-  is not a whitespace (not enabled by default).
-* `tabwidth=<n>` tells how many character positions a tab occupies; this
-  is relevant for `indent-with-non-tab` and when Git fixes `tab-in-indent`
-  errors. The default tab width is 8. Allowed values are 1 to 63.
-
-core.fsyncObjectFiles::
-	This boolean will enable 'fsync()' when writing object files.
-+
-This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that orders
-data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems that do not use
-journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or that only journal metadata
-and not file contents (OS X's HFS+, or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
-
-core.preloadIndex::
-	Enable parallel index preload for operations like 'git diff'
-+
-This can speed up operations like 'git diff' and 'git status' especially
-on filesystems like NFS that have weak caching semantics and thus
-relatively high IO latencies.  When enabled, Git will do the
-index comparison to the filesystem data in parallel, allowing
-overlapping IO's.  Defaults to true.
-
-core.unsetenvvars::
-	Windows-only: comma-separated list of environment variables'
-	names that need to be unset before spawning any other process.
-	Defaults to `PERL5LIB` to account for the fact that Git for
-	Windows insists on using its own Perl interpreter.
-
-core.restrictinheritedhandles::
-	Windows-only: override whether spawned processes inherit only standard
-	file handles (`stdin`, `stdout` and `stderr`) or all handles. Can be
-	`auto`, `true` or `false`. Defaults to `auto`, which means `true` on
-	Windows 7 and later, and `false` on older Windows versions.
-
-core.createObject::
-	You can set this to 'link', in which case a hardlink followed by
-	a delete of the source are used to make sure that object creation
-	will not overwrite existing objects.
-+
-On some file system/operating system combinations, this is unreliable.
-Set this config setting to 'rename' there; However, This will remove the
-check that makes sure that existing object files will not get overwritten.
-
-core.notesRef::
-	When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
-	the given ref.  The ref must be fully qualified.  If the given
-	ref does not exist, it is not an error but means that no
-	notes should be printed.
-+
-This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
-the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable.  See linkgit:git-notes[1].
-
-core.commitGraph::
-	If true, then git will read the commit-graph file (if it exists)
-	to parse the graph structure of commits. Defaults to true. See
-	linkgit:git-commit-graph[1] for more information.
-
-core.useReplaceRefs::
-	If set to `false`, behave as if the `--no-replace-objects`
-	option was given on the command line. See linkgit:git[1] and
-	linkgit:git-replace[1] for more information.
-
-core.multiPackIndex::
-	Use the multi-pack-index file to track multiple packfiles using a
-	single index. See link:technical/multi-pack-index.html[the
-	multi-pack-index design document].
-
-core.sparseCheckout::
-	Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[1]
-	for more information.

-core.sparseCheckoutCone::
-	Enables the "cone mode" of the sparse checkout feature. When the
-	sparse-checkout file contains a limited set of patterns, then this
-	mode provides significant performance advantages. See
-	linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[1] for more information.
-
-core.abbrev::
-	Set the length object names are abbreviated to.  If
-	unspecified or set to "auto", an appropriate value is
-	computed based on the approximate number of packed objects
-	in your repository, which hopefully is enough for
-	abbreviated object names to stay unique for some time.
-	The minimum length is 4.

-with the message ID, e.g. "missingEmail: invalid author/committer

-will hide that issue.
-+
-In general, it is better to enumerate existing objects with problems

-This feature is useful when an established project should be accepted
-despite early commits containing errors that can be safely ignored
-such as invalid committer email addresses.  Note: corrupt objects

-	if the system supports it. Default is true.
-
-gc.bigPackThreshold::
-	If non-zero, all packs larger than this limit are kept when
-	`git gc` is run. This is very similar to `--keep-base-pack`
-	except that all packs that meet the threshold are kept, not
-	just the base pack. Defaults to zero. Common unit suffixes of
-	'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-+
-Note that if the number of kept packs is more than gc.autoPackLimit,
-this configuration variable is ignored, all packs except the base pack
-will be repacked. After this the number of packs should go below
-gc.autoPackLimit and gc.bigPackThreshold should be respected again.
-+
-If the amount of memory estimated for `git repack` to run smoothly is
-not available and `gc.bigPackThreshold` is not set, the largest pack
-will also be excluded (this is the equivalent of running `git gc` with
-`--keep-base-pack`).
-
-gc.writeCommitGraph::
-	If true, then gc will rewrite the commit-graph file when
-	linkgit:git-gc[1] is run. When using `git gc --auto`
-	the commit-graph will be updated if housekeeping is
-	required. Default is true. See linkgit:git-commit-graph[1]
-	for details.
-
-gc.logExpiry::
-	If the file gc.log exists, then `git gc --auto` will print
-	its content and exit with status zero instead of running
-	unless that file is more than 'gc.logExpiry' old.  Default is
-	"1.day".  See `gc.pruneExpire` for more ways to specify its
-	value.
-
-gc.packRefs::
-	Running `git pack-refs` in a repository renders it
-	unclonable by Git versions prior to 1.5.1.2 over dumb
-	transports such as HTTP.  This variable determines whether
-	'git gc' runs `git pack-refs`. This can be set to `notbare`
-	to enable it within all non-bare repos or it can be set to a
-	boolean value.  The default is `true`.
-
-gc.pruneExpire::
-	When 'git gc' is run, it will call 'prune --expire 2.weeks.ago'.
-	Override the grace period with this config variable.  The value
-	"now" may be used to disable this grace period and always prune
-	unreachable objects immediately, or "never" may be used to
-	suppress pruning.  This feature helps prevent corruption when
-	'git gc' runs concurrently with another process writing to the
-	repository; see the "NOTES" section of linkgit:git-gc[1].
-
-gc.worktreePruneExpire::
-	When 'git gc' is run, it calls
-	'git worktree prune --expire 3.months.ago'.
-	This config variable can be used to set a different grace
-	period. The value "now" may be used to disable the grace
-	period and prune `$GIT_DIR/worktrees` immediately, or "never"
-	may be used to suppress pruning.
-
-gc.reflogExpire::
-gc.<pattern>.reflogExpire::
-	'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
-	this time; defaults to 90 days. The value "now" expires all
-	entries immediately, and "never" suppresses expiration
-	altogether. With "<pattern>" (e.g.
-	"refs/stash") in the middle the setting applies only to
-	the refs that match the <pattern>.
-
-gc.reflogExpireUnreachable::
-gc.<pattern>.reflogExpireUnreachable::
-	'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
-	this time and are not reachable from the current tip;
-	defaults to 30 days. The value "now" expires all entries
-	immediately, and "never" suppresses expiration altogether.
-	With "<pattern>" (e.g. "refs/stash")
-	in the middle, the setting applies only to the refs that
-	match the <pattern>.
-+
-These types of entries are generally created as a result of using `git
-commit --amend` or `git rebase` and are the commits prior to the amend
-or rebase occurring.  Since these changes are not part of the current
-project most users will want to expire them sooner, which is why the
-default is more aggressive than `gc.reflogExpire`.
-
-gc.rerereResolved::
-	Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
-	kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
-	You can also use more human-readable "1.month.ago", etc.
-	The default is 60 days.  See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
-
-gc.rerereUnresolved::
-	Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
-	kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
-	You can also use more human-readable "1.month.ago", etc.
-	The default is 15 days.  See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
