- In order to ensure the documentation is inclusive, avoid assuming
- that an unspecified example person is male or female, and think
- twice before using "he", "him", "she", or "her".  Here are some
- tips to avoid use of gendered pronouns:
-
-  - Prefer succinctness and matter-of-factly describing functionality
-    in the abstract.  E.g.
-
-     --short:: Emit output in the short-format.
-
-    and avoid something like these overly verbose alternatives:
-
-     --short:: Use this to emit output in the short-format.
-     --short:: You can use this to get output in the short-format.
-     --short:: A user who prefers shorter output could....
-     --short:: Should a person and/or program want shorter output, he
-               she/they/it can...
-
-    This practice often eliminates the need to involve human actors in
-    your description, but it is a good practice regardless of the
-    avoidance of gendered pronouns.
-
-  - When it becomes awkward to stick to this style, prefer "you" when
-    addressing the the hypothetical user, and possibly "we" when
-    discussing how the program might react to the user.  E.g.
-
-      You can use this option instead of --xyz, but we might remove
-      support for it in future versions.
-
-    while keeping in mind that you can probably be less verbose, e.g.
-
-      Use this instead of --xyz. This option might be removed in future
-      versions.
-
-  - If you still need to refer to an example person that is
-    third-person singular, you may resort to "singular they" to avoid
-    "he/she/him/her", e.g.
-
-      A contributor asks their upstream to pull from them.
-
-    Note that this sounds ungrammatical and unnatural to those who
-    learned that "they" is only used for third-person plural, e.g.
-    those who learn English as a second language in some parts of the
-    world.
-
  Every user-visible change should be reflected in the documentation.
  The same general rule as for code applies -- imitate the existing
  conventions.

+Git v2.30.6 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+This release addresses the security issues CVE-2022-39253 and
+CVE-2022-39260.
+
+Fixes since v2.30.5
+-------------------
+
+ * CVE-2022-39253:
+   When relying on the `--local` clone optimization, Git dereferences
+   symbolic links in the source repository before creating hardlinks
+   (or copies) of the dereferenced link in the destination repository.
+   This can lead to surprising behavior where arbitrary files are
+   present in a repository's `$GIT_DIR` when cloning from a malicious
+   repository.
+
+   Git will no longer dereference symbolic links via the `--local`
+   clone mechanism, and will instead refuse to clone repositories that
+   have symbolic links present in the `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory.
+
+   Additionally, the value of `protocol.file.allow` is changed to be
+   "user" by default.
+
+ * CVE-2022-39260:
+   An overly-long command string given to `git shell` can result in
+   overflow in `split_cmdline()`, leading to arbitrary heap writes and
+   remote code execution when `git shell` is exposed and the directory
+   `$HOME/git-shell-commands` exists.
+
+   `git shell` is taught to refuse interactive commands that are
+   longer than 4MiB in size. `split_cmdline()` is hardened to reject
+   inputs larger than 2GiB.
+
+Credit for finding CVE-2022-39253 goes to Cory Snider of Mirantis. The
+fix was authored by Taylor Blau, with help from Johannes Schindelin.
+
+Credit for finding CVE-2022-39260 goes to Kevin Backhouse of GitHub.

-Git 2.31 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Updates since v2.30
--------------------
-
-Backward incompatible and other important changes
-
- * The "pack-redundant" command, which has been left stale with almost
-   unusable performance issues, now warns loudly when it gets used, as
-   we no longer want to recommend its use (instead just "repack -d"
-   instead).
-
- * The development community has adopted Contributor Covenant v2.0 to
-   update from v1.4 that we have been using.
-
- * The support for deprecated PCRE1 library has been dropped.
-
- * Fixes for CVE-2021-21300 in Git 2.30.2 (and earlier) is included.
-
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * The "--format=%(trailers)" mechanism gets enhanced to make it
-   easier to design output for machine consumption.
-
- * When a user does not tell "git pull" to use rebase or merge, the
-   command gives a loud message telling a user to choose between
-   rebase or merge but creates a merge anyway, forcing users who would
-   want to rebase to redo the operation.  Fix an early part of this
-   problem by tightening the condition to give the message---there is
-   no reason to stop or force the user to choose between rebase or
-   merge if the history fast-forwards.
-
- * The configuration variable 'core.abbrev' can be set to 'no' to
-   force no abbreviation regardless of the hash algorithm.
-
- * "git rev-parse" can be explicitly told to give output as absolute
-   or relative path with the `--path-format=(absolute|relative)` option.
-
- * Bash completion (in contrib/) update to make it easier for
-   end-users to add completion for their custom "git" subcommands.
-
- * "git maintenance" learned to drive scheduled maintenance on
-   platforms whose native scheduling methods are not 'cron'.
-
- * After expiring a reflog and making a single commit, the reflog for
-   the branch would record a single entry that knows both @{0} and
-   @{1}, but we failed to answer "what commit were we on?", i.e. @{1}
-
- * "git bundle" learns "--stdin" option to read its refs from the
-   standard input.  Also, it now does not lose refs whey they point
-   at the same object.
-
- * "git log" learned a new "--diff-merges=<how>" option.
-
- * "git ls-files" can and does show multiple entries when the index is
-   unmerged, which is a source for confusion unless -s/-u option is in
-   use.  A new option --deduplicate has been introduced.
-
- * `git worktree list` now annotates worktrees as prunable, shows
-   locked and prunable attributes in --porcelain mode, and gained
-   a --verbose option.
-
- * "git clone" tries to locally check out the branch pointed at by
-   HEAD of the remote repository after it is done, but the protocol
-   did not convey the information necessary to do so when copying an
-   empty repository.  The protocol v2 learned how to do so.
-
- * There are other ways than ".." for a single token to denote a
-   "commit range", namely "<rev>^!" and "<rev>^-<n>", but "git
-   range-diff" did not understand them.
-
- * The "git range-diff" command learned "--(left|right)-only" option
-   to show only one side of the compared range.
-
- * "git mergetool" feeds three versions (base, local and remote) of
-   a conflicted path unmodified.  The command learned to optionally
-   prepare these files with unconflicted parts already resolved.
-
- * The .mailmap is documented to be read only from the root level of a
-   working tree, but a stray file in a bare repository also was read
-   by accident, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git maintenance" tool learned a new "pack-refs" maintenance task.
-
- * The error message given when a configuration variable that is
-   expected to have a boolean value has been improved.
-
- * Signed commits and tags now allow verification of objects, whose
-   two object names (one in SHA-1, the other in SHA-256) are both
-   signed.
-
- * "git rev-list" command learned "--disk-usage" option.
-
- * "git {diff,log} --{skip,rotate}-to=<path>" allows the user to
-   discard diff output for early paths or move them to the end of the
-   output.
-
- * "git difftool" learned "--skip-to=<path>" option to restart an
-   interrupted session from an arbitrary path.
-
- * "git grep" has been tweaked to be limited to the sparse checkout
-   paths.
-
- * "git rebase --[no-]fork-point" gained a configuration variable
-   rebase.forkPoint so that users do not have to keep specifying a
-   non-default setting.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * A 3-year old test that was not testing anything useful has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Retire more names with "sha1" in it.
-
- * The topological walk codepath is covered by new trace2 stats.
-
- * Update the Code-of-conduct to version 2.0 from the upstream (we've
-   been using version 1.4).
-
- * "git mktag" validates its input using its own rules before writing
-   a tag object---it has been updated to share the logic with "git
-   fsck".
-
- * Two new ways to feed configuration variable-value pairs via
-   environment variables have been introduced, and the way
-   GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS encodes variable/value pairs has been tweaked
-   to make it more robust.
-
- * Tests have been updated so that they do not to get affected by the
-   name of the default branch "git init" creates.
-
- * "git fetch" learns to treat ref updates atomically in all-or-none
-   fashion, just like "git push" does, with the new "--atomic" option.
-
- * The peel_ref() API has been replaced with peel_iterated_oid().
-
- * The .use_shell flag in struct child_process that is passed to
-   run_command() API has been clarified with a bit more documentation.
-
- * Document, clean-up and optimize the code around the cache-tree
-   extension in the index.
-
- * The ls-refs protocol operation has been optimized to narrow the
-   sub-hierarchy of refs/ it walks to produce response.
-
- * When removing many branches and tags, the code used to do so one
-   ref at a time.  There is another API it can use to delete multiple
-   refs, and it makes quite a lot of performance difference when the
-   refs are packed.
-
- * The "pack-objects" command needs to iterate over all the tags when
-   automatic tag following is enabled, but it actually iterated over
-   all refs and then discarded everything outside "refs/tags/"
-   hierarchy, which was quite wasteful.
-
- * A perf script was made more portable.
-
- * Our setting of GitHub CI test jobs were a bit too eager to give up
-   once there is even one failure found.  Tweak the knob to allow
-   other jobs keep running even when we see a failure, so that we can
-   find more failures in a single run.
-
- * We've carried compatibility codepaths for compilers without
-   variadic macros for quite some time, but the world may be ready for
-   them to be removed.  Force compilation failure on exotic platforms
-   where variadic macros are not available to find out who screams in
-   such a way that we can easily revert if it turns out that the world
-   is not yet ready.
-
- * Code clean-up to ensure our use of hashtables using object names as
-   keys use the "struct object_id" objects, not the raw hash values.
-
- * Lose the debugging aid that may have been useful in the past, but
-   no longer is, in the "grep" codepaths.
-
- * Some pretty-format specifiers do not need the data in commit object
-   (e.g. "%H"), but we were over-eager to load and parse it, which has
-   been made even lazier.
-
- * Get rid of "GETTEXT_POISON" support altogether, which may or may
-   not be controversial.
-
- * Introduce an on-disk file to record revindex for packdata, which
-   traditionally was always created on the fly and only in-core.
-
- * The commit-graph learned to use corrected commit dates instead of
-   the generation number to help topological revision traversal.
-
- * Piecemeal of rewrite of "git bisect" in C continues.
-
- * When a pager spawned by us exited, the trace log did not record its
-   exit status correctly, which has been corrected.
-
- * Removal of GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON continues.
-
- * The code to implement "git merge-base --independent" was poorly
-   done and was kept from the very beginning of the feature.
-
- * Preliminary changes to fsmonitor integration.
-
- * Performance improvements for rename detection.
-
- * The common code to deal with "chunked file format" that is shared
-   by the multi-pack-index and commit-graph files have been factored
-   out, to help codepaths for both filetypes to become more robust.
-
- * The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is
-   attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core,
-   inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be
-   applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree
-   object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as
-   ".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as
-   ".gitmodules" file, for example.  Teach "index-pack" to emit
-   objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling
-   "fetch-pack" process.
-
- * The logic to handle "trailer" related placeholders in the
-   "--format=" mechanisms in the "log" family and "for-each-ref"
-   family is getting unified.
-
- * Raise the buffer size used when writing the index file out from
-   (obviously too small) 8kB to (clearly sufficiently large) 128kB.
-
- * It is reported that open() on some platforms (e.g. macOS Big Sur)
-   can return EINTR even though our timers are set up with SA_RESTART.
-   A workaround has been implemented and enabled for macOS to rerun
-   open() transparently from the caller when this happens.
-
-
-Fixes since v2.30
------------------
-
- * Diagnose command line error of "git rebase" early.
-
- * Clean up option descriptions in "git cmd --help".
-
- * "git stash" did not work well in a sparsely checked out working
-   tree.
-
- * Some tests expect that "ls -l" output has either '-' or 'x' for
-   group executable bit, but setgid bit can be inherited from parent
-   directory and make these fields 'S' or 's' instead, causing test
-   failures.
-
- * "git for-each-repo --config=<var> <cmd>" should not run <cmd> for
-   any repository when the configuration variable <var> is not defined
-   even once.
-
- * Fix 2.29 regression where "git mergetool --tool-help" fails to list
-   all the available tools.
-
- * Fix for procedure to building CI test environment for mac.
-
- * The implementation of "git branch --sort" wrt the detached HEAD
-   display has always been hacky, which has been cleaned up.
-
- * Newline characters in the host and path part of git:// URL are
-   now forbidden.
-
- * "git diff" showed a submodule working tree with untracked cruft as
-   "Submodule commit <objectname>-dirty", but a natural expectation is
-   that the "-dirty" indicator would align with "git describe --dirty",
-   which does not consider having untracked files in the working tree
-   as source of dirtiness.  The inconsistency has been fixed.
-
- * When more than one commit with the same patch ID appears on one
-   side, "git log --cherry-pick A...B" did not exclude them all when a
-   commit with the same patch ID appears on the other side.  Now it
-   does.
-
- * Documentation for "git fsck" lost stale bits that has become
-   incorrect.
-
- * Doc fix for packfile URI feature.
-
- * When "git rebase -i" processes "fixup" insn, there is no reason to
-   clean up the commit log message, but we did the usual stripspace
-   processing.  This has been corrected.
-   (merge f7d42ceec5 js/rebase-i-commit-cleanup-fix later to maint).
-
- * Fix in passing custom args from "git clone" to "upload-pack" on the
-   other side.
-   (merge ad6b5fefbd jv/upload-pack-filter-spec-quotefix later to maint).
-
- * The command line completion (in contrib/) completed "git branch -d"
-   with branch names, but "git branch -D" offered tagnames in addition,
-   which has been corrected.  "git branch -M" had the same problem.
-   (merge 27dc071b9a jk/complete-branch-force-delete later to maint).
-
- * When commands are started from a subdirectory, they may have to
-   compare the path to the subdirectory (called prefix and found out
-   from $(pwd)) with the tracked paths.  On macOS, $(pwd) and
-   readdir() yield decomposed path, while the tracked paths are
-   usually normalized to the precomposed form, causing mismatch.  This
-   has been fixed by taking the same approach used to normalize the
-   command line arguments.
-   (merge 5c327502db tb/precompose-prefix-too later to maint).
-
- * Even though invocations of "die()" were logged to the trace2
-   system, "BUG()"s were not, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 0a9dde4a04 jt/trace2-BUG later to maint).
-
- * "git grep --untracked" is meant to be "let's ALSO find in these
-   files on the filesystem" when looking for matches in the working
-   tree files, and does not make any sense if the primary search is
-   done against the index, or the tree objects.  The "--cached" and
-   "--untracked" options have been marked as mutually incompatible.
-   (merge 0c5d83b248 mt/grep-cached-untracked later to maint).
-
- * Fix "git fsck --name-objects" which apparently has not been used by
-   anybody who is motivated enough to report breakage.
-   (merge e89f89361c js/fsck-name-objects-fix later to maint).
-
- * Avoid individual tests in t5411 from getting affected by each other
-   by forcing them to use separate output files during the test.
-   (merge 822ee894f6 jx/t5411-unique-filenames later to maint).
-
- * Test to make sure "git rev-parse one-thing one-thing" gives
-   the same thing twice (when one-thing is --since=X).
-   (merge a5cdca4520 ew/rev-parse-since-test later to maint).
-
- * When certain features (e.g. grafts) used in the repository are
-   incompatible with the use of the commit-graph, we used to silently
-   turned commit-graph off; we now tell the user what we are doing.
-   (merge c85eec7fc3 js/commit-graph-warning later to maint).
-
- * Objects that lost references can be pruned away, even when they
-   have notes attached to it (and these notes will become dangling,
-   which in turn can be pruned with "git notes prune").  This has been
-   clarified in the documentation.
-   (merge fa9ab027ba mz/doc-notes-are-not-anchors later to maint).
-
- * The error codepath around the "--temp/--prefix" feature of "git
-   checkout-index" has been improved.
-   (merge 3f7ba60350 mt/checkout-index-corner-cases later to maint).
-
- * The "git maintenance register" command had trouble registering bare
-   repositories, which had been corrected.
-
- * A handful of multi-word configuration variable names in
-   documentation that are spelled in all lowercase have been corrected
-   to use the more canonical camelCase.
-   (merge 7dd0eaa39c dl/doc-config-camelcase later to maint).
-
- * "git push $there --delete ''" should have been diagnosed as an
-   error, but instead turned into a matching push, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 20e416409f jc/push-delete-nothing later to maint).
-
- * Test script modernization.
-   (merge 488acf15df sv/t7001-modernize later to maint).
-
- * An under-allocation for the untracked cache data has been corrected.
-   (merge 6347d649bc jh/untracked-cache-fix later to maint).
-
- * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
-   (merge e3f5da7e60 sg/t7800-difftool-robustify later to maint).
-   (merge 9d336655ba js/doc-proto-v2-response-end later to maint).

-Git 2.31.1 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.31
------------------
-
- * The fsmonitor interface read from its input without making sure
-   there is something to read from.  This bug is new in 2.31
-   timeframe.
-
- * The data structure used by fsmonitor interface was not properly
-   duplicated during an in-core merge, leading to use-after-free etc.
-
- * "git bisect" reimplemented more in C during 2.30 timeframe did not
-   take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint well.  This regression
-   has been corrected.
-
- * Fix macros that can silently inject unintended null-statements.
-
- * CALLOC_ARRAY() macro replaces many uses of xcalloc().
-
- * Update insn in Makefile comments to run fuzz-all target.
-
- * Fix a corner case bug in "git mv" on case insensitive systems,
-   which was introduced in 2.29 timeframe.
-
-Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

-Git 2.32 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Backward compatibility notes
-----------------------------
-
- * ".gitattributes", ".gitignore", and ".mailmap" files that are
-   symbolic links are ignored.
-
- * "git apply --3way" used to first attempt a straight application,
-   and only fell back to the 3-way merge algorithm when the stright
-   application failed.  Starting with this version, the command will
-   first try the 3-way merge algorithm and only when it fails (either
-   resulting with conflict or the base versions of blobs are missing),
-   falls back to the usual patch application.
-
-
-Updates since v2.31
--------------------
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * It does not make sense to make ".gitattributes", ".gitignore" and
-   ".mailmap" symlinks, as they are supposed to be usable from the
-   object store (think: bare repositories where HEAD:.mailmap etc. are
-   used).  When these files are symbolic links, we used to read the
-   contents of the files pointed by them by mistake, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * "git stash show" learned to optionally show untracked part of the
-   stash.
-
- * "git log --format='...'" learned "%(describe)" placeholder.
-
- * "git repack" so far has been only capable of repacking everything
-   under the sun into a single pack (or split by size).  A cleverer
-   strategy to reduce the cost of repacking a repository has been
-   introduced.
-
- * The http codepath learned to let the credential layer to cache the
-   password used to unlock a certificate that has successfully been
-   used.
-
- * "git commit --fixup=<commit>", which was to tweak the changes made
-   to the contents while keeping the original log message intact,
-   learned "--fixup=(amend|reword):<commit>", that can be used to
-   tweak both the message and the contents, and only the message,
-   respectively.
-
- * "git send-email" learned to honor the core.hooksPath configuration.
-
- * "git format-patch -v<n>" learned to allow a reroll count that is
-   not an integer.
-
- * "git commit" learned "--trailer <key>[=<value>]" option; together
-   with the interpret-trailers command, this will make it easier to
-   support custom trailers.
-
- * "git clone --reject-shallow" option fails the clone as soon as we
-   notice that we are cloning from a shallow repository.
-
- * A configuration variable has been added to force tips of certain
-   refs to be given a reachability bitmap.
-
- * "gitweb" learned "e-mail privacy" feature to redact strings that
-   look like e-mail addresses on various pages.
-
- * "git apply --3way" has always been "to fall back to 3-way merge
-   only when straight application fails". Swap the order of falling
-   back so that 3-way is always attempted first (only when the option
-   is given, of course) and then straight patch application is used as
-   a fallback when it fails.
-
- * "git apply" now takes "--3way" and "--cached" at the same time, and
-   work and record results only in the index.
-
- * The command line completion (in contrib/) has learned that
-   CHERRY_PICK_HEAD is a possible pseudo-ref.
-
- * Userdiff patterns for "Scheme" has been added.
-
- * "git log" learned "--diff-merges=<style>" option, with an
-   associated configuration variable log.diffMerges.
-
- * "git log --format=..." placeholders learned %ah/%ch placeholders to
-   request the --date=human output.
-
- * Replace GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM mechanism to decline from reading the
-   system-wide configuration file with GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM that lets
-   users specify from which file to read the system-wide configuration
-   (setting it to an empty file would essentially be the same as
-   setting NOSYSTEM), and introduce GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL to override the
-   per-user configuration in $HOME/.gitconfig.
-
- * "git add" and "git rm" learned not to touch those paths that are
-   outside of sparse checkout.
-
- * "git rev-list" learns the "--filter=object:type=<type>" option,
-   which can be used to exclude objects of the given kind from the
-   packfile generated by pack-objects.
-
- * The command line completion (in contrib/) for "git stash" has been
-   updated.
-
- * "git subtree" updates.
-
- * It is now documented that "format-patch" skips merges.
-
- * Options to "git pack-objects" that take numeric values like
-   --window and --depth should not accept negative values; the input
-   validation has been tightened.
-
- * The way the command line specified by the trailer.<token>.command
-   configuration variable receives the end-user supplied value was
-   both error prone and misleading.  An alternative to achieve the
-   same goal in a safer and more intuitive way has been added, as
-   the trailer.<token>.cmd configuration variable, to replace it.
-
- * "git add -i --dry-run" does not dry-run, which was surprising.  The
-   combination of options has taught to error out.
-
- * "git push" learns to discover common ancestor with the receiving
-   end over protocol v2.  This will hopefully make "git push" as
-   efficient as "git fetch" in avoiding objects from getting
-   transferred unnecessarily.
-
- * "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") learned the "--quoted-cr" option to
-   control how lines ending with CRLF wrapped in base64 or qp are
-   handled.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * Rename detection rework continues.
-
- * GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is a mechanism to skip test pieces with
-   prerequisites to catch broken tests that depend on the side effects
-   of optional pieces, but did not work at all when negative
-   prerequisites were involved.
-   (merge 27d578d904 jk/fail-prereq-testfix later to maint).
-
- * "git diff-index" codepath has been taught to trust fsmonitor status
-   to reduce number of lstat() calls.
-   (merge 7e5aa13d2c nk/diff-index-fsmonitor later to maint).
-
- * Reorganize Makefile to allow building git.o and other essential
-   objects without extra stuff needed only for testing.
-
- * Preparatory API changes for parallel checkout.
-
- * A simple IPC interface gets introduced to build services like
-   fsmonitor on top.
-
- * Fsck API clean-up.
-
- * SECURITY.md that is facing individual contributors and end users
-   has been introduced.  Also a procedure to follow when preparing
-   embargoed releases has been spelled out.
-   (merge 09420b7648 js/security-md later to maint).
-
- * Optimize "rev-list --use-bitmap-index --objects" corner case that
-   uses negative tags as the stopping points.
-
- * CMake update for vsbuild.
-
- * An on-disk reverse-index to map the in-pack location of an object
-   back to its object name across multiple packfiles is introduced.
-
- * Generate [ec]tags under $(QUIET_GEN).
-
- * Clean-up codepaths that implements "git send-email --validate"
-   option and improves the message from it.
-
- * The last remnant of gettext-poison has been removed.
-
- * The test framework has been taught to optionally turn the default
-   merge strategy to "ort" throughout the system where we use
-   three-way merges internally, like cherry-pick, rebase etc.,
-   primarily to enhance its test coverage (the strategy has been
-   available as an explicit "-s ort" choice).
-
- * A bit of code clean-up and a lot of test clean-up around userdiff
-   area.
-
- * Handling of "promisor packs" that allows certain objects to be
-   missing and lazily retrievable has been optimized (a bit).
-
- * When packet_write() fails, we gave an extra error message
-   unnecessarily, which has been corrected.
-
- * The checkout machinery has been taught to perform the actual
-   write-out of the files in parallel when able.
-
- * Show errno in the trace output in the error codepath that calls
-   read_raw_ref method.
-
- * Effort to make the command line completion (in contrib/) safe with
-   "set -u" continues.
-
- * Tweak a few tests for "log --format=..." that show timestamps in
-   various formats.
-
- * The reflog expiry machinery has been taught to emit trace events.
-
- * Over-the-wire protocol learns a new request type to ask for object
-   sizes given a list of object names.
-

-   which was introduced in 2.29 timeframe.
-
- * We had a code to diagnose and die cleanly when a required
-   clean/smudge filter is missing, but an assert before that
-   unnecessarily fired, hiding the end-user facing die() message.
-   (merge 6fab35f748 mt/cleanly-die-upon-missing-required-filter later to maint).
-
- * Update C code that sets a few configuration variables when a remote
-   is configured so that it spells configuration variable names in the
-   canonical camelCase.
-   (merge 0f1da600e6 ab/remote-write-config-in-camel-case later to maint).
-

-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge 75555676ad bc/clone-bare-with-conflicting-config later to maint).
-
- * When "git checkout" removes a path that does not exist in the
-   commit it is checking out, it wasn't careful enough not to follow
-   symbolic links, which has been corrected.
-   (merge fab78a0c3d mt/checkout-remove-nofollow later to maint).
-
- * A few option description strings started with capital letters,
-   which were corrected.

-   (merge 68ffe095a2 ah/plugleaks later to maint).
-
- * The hashwrite() API uses a buffering mechanism to avoid calling

-   (merge ddaf1f62e3 ds/clarify-hashwrite later to maint).
-
- * "git cherry-pick/revert" with or without "--[no-]edit" did not spawn

-   option.
-   (merge c5c0548d79 vs/completion-with-set-u later to maint).
-
- * When "git pack-objects" makes a literal copy of a part of existing

-   meter was broken.
-   (merge 8e118e8490 jk/pack-objects-bitmap-progress-fix later to maint).

-   upstream branch configuration, which has been corrected.
-   (merge f3cce896a8 ow/push-quiet-set-upstream later to maint).
-
- * The prefetch task in "git maintenance" assumed that "git fetch"
-   from any remote would fetch all its local branches, which would

-   branches there.
-   (merge 32f67888d8 ds/maintenance-prefetch-fix later to maint).
-
- * Clarify that pathnames recorded in Git trees are most often (but
-   not necessarily) encoded in UTF-8.
-   (merge 9364bf465d ab/pathname-encoding-doc later to maint).

-   (merge c331551ccf ps/config-env-option-with-separate-value later to maint).
-
- * When the reachability bitmap is in effect, the "do not lose
-   recently created objects and those that are reachable from them"
-   safety to protect us from races were disabled by mistake, which has
-   been corrected.
-   (merge 2ba582ba4c jk/prune-with-bitmap-fix later to maint).
-
- * Cygwin pathname handling fix.
-   (merge bccc37fdc7 ad/cygwin-no-backslashes-in-paths later to maint).

-   been rephrased.
-   (merge ad9322da03 js/merge-already-up-to-date-message-reword later to maint).

-   or showing ignored paths inside an ignored directory, which has

-   (merge b548f0f156 en/dir-traversal later to maint).
-
- * The handling of "%(push)" formatting element of "for-each-ref" and

-   (merge 2d86a96220 jk/test-chainlint-softer later to maint).
-
- * The "rev-parse" command did not diagnose the lack of argument to

-Git 2.33 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Backward compatibility notes
-----------------------------
-
- * The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format,
-   if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now
-   implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced.
-
-   You can disable the diff output with "git log -m --no-patch", but
-   then there probably isn't much point in passing "-m" in the first
-   place ;-).
-
-
-Updates since Git 2.32
-----------------------
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * "git send-email" learned the "--sendmail-cmd" command line option
-   and the "sendemail.sendmailCmd" configuration variable, which is a
-   more sensible approach than the current way of repurposing the
-   "smtp-server" that is meant to name the server to instead name the
-   command to talk to the server.
-
- * The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format,
-   if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now
-   implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced.
-
- * The userdiff pattern for C# learned the token "record".
-
- * "git rev-list" learns to omit the "commit <object-name>" header
-   lines from the output with the `--no-commit-header` option.
-
- * "git worktree add --lock" learned to record why the worktree is
-   locked with a custom message.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * The code to handle the "--format" option in "for-each-ref" and
-   friends made too many string comparisons on %(atom)s used in the
-   format string, which has been corrected by converting them into
-   enum when the format string is parsed.
-
- * Use the hashfile API in the codepath that writes the index file to
-   reduce code duplication.
-
- * Repeated rename detections in a sequence of mergy operations have
-   been optimize out.
-
- * Preliminary clean-up of tests before the main reftable changes
-   hits the codebase.
-
- * The backend for "diff -G/-S" has been updated to use pcre2 engine
-   when available.
-
- * Use ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" pseudo target to simplify our Makefile.
-
- * Code cleanup around struct_type_init() functions.
-
- * "git send-email" optimization.
-
- * GitHub Actions / CI update.
-   (merge 0dc787a9f2 js/ci-windows-update later to maint).
-
- * Object accesses in repositories with many alternate object store
-   have been optimized.
-
- * "git log" has been optimized not to waste cycles to load ref
-   decoration data that may not be needed.
-
- * Many "printf"-like helper functions we have have been annotated
-   with __attribute__() to catch placeholder/parameter mismatches.
-
- * Tests that cover protocol bits have been updated and helpers
-   used there have been consolidated.
-
- * The CI gained a new job to run "make sparse" check.
-
- * "git status" codepath learned to work with sparsely populated index
-   without hydrating it fully.
-
- * A guideline for gender neutral documentation has been added.
-
- * Documentation on "git diff -l<n>" and diff.renameLimit have been
-   updated, and the defaults for these limits have been raised.
-
- * The completion support used to offer alternate spelling of options
-   that exist only for compatibility, which has been corrected.
-
- * "TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=there make test" failed to work, which has
-   been corrected.
-
- * "git bundle" gained more test coverage.
-
- * "git read-tree" had a codepath where blobs are fetched one-by-one
-   from the promisor remote, which has been corrected to fetch in bulk.
-
-
-Fixes since v2.32
------------------
-
- * We historically rejected a very short string as an author name
-   while accepting a patch e-mail, which has been loosened.
-   (merge 72ee47ceeb ef/mailinfo-short-name later to maint).
-
- * The parallel checkout codepath did not initialize object ID field
-   used to talk to the worker processes in a futureproof way.
-
- * Rewrite code that triggers undefined behaviour warning.
-   (merge aafa5df0df jn/size-t-casted-to-off-t-fix later to maint).
-
- * The description of "fast-forward" in the glossary has been updated.
-   (merge e22f2daed0 ry/clarify-fast-forward-in-glossary later to maint).
-
- * Recent "git clone" left a temporary directory behind when the
-   transport layer returned an failure.
-   (merge 6aacb7d861 jk/clone-clean-upon-transport-error later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch" over protocol v2 left its side of the socket open after
-   it finished speaking, which unnecessarily wasted the resource on
-   the other side.
-   (merge ae1a7eefff jk/fetch-pack-v2-half-close-early later to maint).
-
- * The command line completion (in contrib/) learned that "git diff"
-   takes the "--anchored" option.
-   (merge d1e7c2cac9 tb/complete-diff-anchored later to maint).
-
- * "git-svn" tests assumed that "locale -a", which is used to pick an
-   available UTF-8 locale, is available everywhere.  A knob has been
-   introduced to allow testers to specify a suitable locale to use.
-   (merge 482c962de4 dd/svn-test-wo-locale-a later to maint).
-
- * Update "git subtree" to work better on Windows.
-   (merge 77f37de39f js/subtree-on-windows-fix later to maint).
-
- * Remove multimail from contrib/
-   (merge f74d11471f js/no-more-multimail later to maint).
-
- * Make the codebase MSAN clean.
-   (merge 4dbc55e87d ah/uninitialized-reads-fix later to maint).
-
- * Work around inefficient glob substitution in older versions of bash
-   by rewriting parts of a test.
-   (merge eb87c6f559 jx/t6020-with-older-bash later to maint).
-
- * Avoid duplicated work while building reachability bitmaps.
-   (merge aa9ad6fee5 jk/bitmap-tree-optim later to maint).
-
- * We broke "GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t?000" to skip certain tests in recent
-   update, which got fixed.
-
- * The side-band demultiplexer that is used to display progress output
-   from the remote end did not clear the line properly when the end of
-   line hits at a packet boundary, which has been corrected.
-
- * Some test scripts assumed that readlink(1) was universally
-   installed and available, which is not the case.
-   (merge 7c0afdf23c jk/test-without-readlink-1 later to maint).
-
- * Recent update to completion script (in contrib/) broke those who
-   use the __git_complete helper to define completion to their custom
-   command.
-   (merge cea232194d fw/complete-cmd-idx-fix later to maint).
-
- * Output from some of our tests were affected by the width of the
-   terminal that they were run in, which has been corrected by
-   exporting a fixed value in the COLUMNS environment.
-   (merge c49a177bec ab/fix-columns-to-80-during-tests later to maint).
-
- * On Windows, mergetool has been taught to find kdiff3.exe just like
-   it finds winmerge.exe.
-   (merge 47eb4c6890 ms/mergetools-kdiff3-on-windows later to maint).
-
- * When we cannot figure out how wide the terminal is, we use a
-   fallback value of 80 ourselves (which cannot be avoided), but when
-   we run the pager, we export it in COLUMNS, which forces the pager
-   to use the hardcoded value, even when the pager is perfectly
-   capable to figure it out itself.  Stop exporting COLUMNS when we
-   fall back on the hardcoded default value for our own use.
-   (merge 9b6e2c8b98 js/stop-exporting-bogus-columns later to maint).
-
- * "git cat-file --batch-all-objects"" misbehaved when "--batch" is in
-   use and did not ask for certain object traits.
-   (merge ee02ac6164 zh/cat-file-batch-fix later to maint).
-
- * Some code and doc clarification around "git push".
-
- * The "union" conflict resultion variant misbehaved when used with
-   binary merge driver.
-   (merge 382b601acd jk/union-merge-binary later to maint).
-
- * Prevent "git p4" from failing to submit changes to binary file.
-   (merge 54662d5958 dc/p4-binary-submit-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git grep --and -e foo" ought to have been diagnosed as an error
-   but instead segfaulted, which has been corrected.
-   (merge fe7fe62d8d rs/grep-parser-fix later to maint).
-
- * The merge code had funny interactions between content based rename
-   detection and directory rename detection.
-   (merge 3585d0ea23 en/merge-dir-rename-corner-case-fix later to maint).
-
- * When rebuilding the multi-pack index file reusing an existing one,
-   we used to blindly trust the existing file and ended up carrying
-   corrupted data into the updated file, which has been corrected.
-   (merge f89ecf7988 tb/midx-use-checksum later to maint).
-
- * Update the location of system-side configuration file on Windows.
-   (merge e355307692 js/gfw-system-config-loc-fix later to maint).
-
- * Code recently added to support common ancestry negotiation during
-   "git push" did not sanity check its arguments carefully enough.
-   (merge eff40457a4 ab/fetch-negotiate-segv-fix later to maint).
-
- * Update the documentation not to assume users are of certain gender
-   and adds to guidelines to do so.
-   (merge 46a237f42f ds/gender-neutral-doc later to maint).
-
- * "git commit --allow-empty-message" won't abort the operation upon
-   an empty message, but the hint shown in the editor said otherwise.
-   (merge 6f70f00b4f hj/commit-allow-empty-message later to maint).
-
- * The code that gives an error message in "git multi-pack-index" when
-   no subcommand is given tried to print a NULL pointer as a strong,
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge 88617d11f9 tb/reverse-midx later to maint).
-
- * CI update.
-   (merge a066a90db6 js/ci-check-whitespace-updates later to maint).
-
- * Documentation fix for "git pull --rebase=no".
-   (merge d3236becec fc/pull-no-rebase-merges-theirs-into-ours later to maint).
-
- * A race between repacking and using pack bitmaps has been corrected.
-   (merge dc1daacdcc jk/check-pack-valid-before-opening-bitmap later to maint).
-
- * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
-   (merge bfe35a6165 ah/doc-describe later to maint).

++
+This is a multi-valued setting, i.e. you can add more than one directory

++
+This config setting is only respected when specified in a system or global

+line option `-c safe.directory=<path>`.
++
+The value of this setting is interpolated, i.e. `~/<path>` expands to a
+path relative to the home directory and `%(prefix)/<path>` expands to a
+path relative to Git's (runtime) prefix.
++
+To completely opt-out of this security check, set `safe.directory` to the

++
+As explained, Git only allows you to access repositories owned by

+is running as 'root' in a non Windows platform that provides sudo,
+however, git checks the SUDO_UID environment variable that sudo creates

+This is to make it easy to perform a common sequence during installation
+"make && sudo make install".  A git process running under 'sudo' runs as
+'root' but the 'sudo' command exports the environment variable to record
+which id the original user has.
+If that is not what you would prefer and want git to only trust

-The following sections describe the mechanisms put in place to run
-background maintenance by `git maintenance start` and how to customize
-them.
-
-BACKGROUND MAINTENANCE ON POSIX SYSTEMS
----------------------------------------
-
-The standard mechanism for scheduling background tasks on POSIX systems
-is cron(8). This tool executes commands based on a given schedule. The
-current list of user-scheduled tasks can be found by running `crontab -l`.
-The schedule written by `git maintenance start` is similar to this:
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-# BEGIN GIT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
-# The following schedule was created by Git
-# Any edits made in this region might be
-# replaced in the future by a Git command.
-
-0 1-23 * * * "/<path>/git" --exec-path="/<path>" for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo maintenance run --schedule=hourly
-0 0 * * 1-6 "/<path>/git" --exec-path="/<path>" for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo maintenance run --schedule=daily
-0 0 * * 0 "/<path>/git" --exec-path="/<path>" for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo maintenance run --schedule=weekly
-
-# END GIT MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The comments are used as a region to mark the schedule as written by Git.
-Any modifications within this region will be completely deleted by
-`git maintenance stop` or overwritten by `git maintenance start`.
-
-The `crontab` entry specifies the full path of the `git` executable to
-ensure that the executed `git` command is the same one with which
-`git maintenance start` was issued independent of `PATH`. If the same user
-runs `git maintenance start` with multiple Git executables, then only the
-latest executable is used.
-
-These commands use `git for-each-repo --config=maintenance.repo` to run
-`git maintenance run --schedule=<frequency>` on each repository listed in
-the multi-valued `maintenance.repo` config option. These are typically
-loaded from the user-specific global config. The `git maintenance` process
-then determines which maintenance tasks are configured to run on each
-repository with each `<frequency>` using the `maintenance.<task>.schedule`
-config options. These values are loaded from the global or repository
-config values.
-
-If the config values are insufficient to achieve your desired background
-maintenance schedule, then you can create your own schedule. If you run
-`crontab -e`, then an editor will load with your user-specific `cron`
-schedule. In that editor, you can add your own schedule lines. You could
-start by adapting the default schedule listed earlier, or you could read
-the crontab(5) documentation for advanced scheduling techniques. Please
-do use the full path and `--exec-path` techniques from the default
-schedule to ensure you are executing the correct binaries in your
-schedule.
-
-
-BACKGROUND MAINTENANCE ON MACOS SYSTEMS
----------------------------------------
-
-While macOS technically supports `cron`, using `crontab -e` requires
-elevated privileges and the executed process does not have a full user
-context. Without a full user context, Git and its credential helpers
-cannot access stored credentials, so some maintenance tasks are not
-functional.
-
-Instead, `git maintenance start` interacts with the `launchctl` tool,
-which is the recommended way to schedule timed jobs in macOS. Scheduling
-maintenance through `git maintenance (start|stop)` requires some
-`launchctl` features available only in macOS 10.11 or later.
-
-Your user-specific scheduled tasks are stored as XML-formatted `.plist`
-files in `~/Library/LaunchAgents/`. You can see the currently-registered
-tasks using the following command:
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-$ ls ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.git-scm.git*
-org.git-scm.git.daily.plist
-org.git-scm.git.hourly.plist
-org.git-scm.git.weekly.plist
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-One task is registered for each `--schedule=<frequency>` option. To
-inspect how the XML format describes each schedule, open one of these
-`.plist` files in an editor and inspect the `<array>` element following
-the `<key>StartCalendarInterval</key>` element.
-
-`git maintenance start` will overwrite these files and register the
-tasks again with `launchctl`, so any customizations should be done by
-creating your own `.plist` files with distinct names. Similarly, the
-`git maintenance stop` command will unregister the tasks with `launchctl`
-and delete the `.plist` files.
-
-To create more advanced customizations to your background tasks, see
-launchctl.plist(5) for more information.
-
-
-BACKGROUND MAINTENANCE ON WINDOWS SYSTEMS
------------------------------------------
-
-Windows does not support `cron` and instead has its own system for
-scheduling background tasks. The `git maintenance start` command uses
-the `schtasks` command to submit tasks to this system. You can inspect
-all background tasks using the Task Scheduler application. The tasks
-added by Git have names of the form `Git Maintenance (<frequency>)`.
-The Task Scheduler GUI has ways to inspect these tasks, but you can also
-export the tasks to XML files and view the details there.
-
-Note that since Git is a console application, these background tasks
-create a console window visible to the current user. This can be changed
-manually by selecting the "Run whether user is logged in or not" option
-in Task Scheduler. This change requires a password input, which is why
-`git maintenance start` does not select it by default.
-
-If you want to customize the background tasks, please rename the tasks
-so future calls to `git maintenance (start|stop)` do not overwrite your
-custom tasks.

 SYNOPSIS
@@ -13,50 +13,23 @@ SYNOPSIS
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
+Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object
+that can also be used to sign other objects.
 
-Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object. The
-output is the new tag's <object> identifier.
-
-This command is mostly equivalent to linkgit:git-hash-object[1]
-invoked with `-t tag -w --stdin`. I.e. both of these will create and
-write a tag found in `my-tag`:
-
-    git mktag <my-tag
-    git hash-object -t tag -w --stdin <my-tag
-
-The difference is that mktag will die before writing the tag if the
-tag doesn't pass a linkgit:git-fsck[1] check.
-
-The "fsck" check done mktag is stricter than what linkgit:git-fsck[1]
-would run by default in that all `fsck.<msg-id>` messages are promoted
-from warnings to errors (so e.g. a missing "tagger" line is an error).
-
-Extra headers in the object are also an error under mktag, but ignored
-by linkgit:git-fsck[1]. This extra check can be turned off by setting
-the appropriate `fsck.<msg-id>` varible:
-
-    git -c fsck.extraHeaderEntry=ignore mktag <my-tag-with-headers
-
-OPTIONS
--------
-
---strict::
-	By default mktag turns on the equivalent of
-	linkgit:git-fsck[1] `--strict` mode. Use `--no-strict` to
-	disable it.
+The output is the new tag's <object> identifier.
 
 Tag Format
 ----------
 A tag signature file, to be fed to this command's standard input,
 has a very simple fixed format: four lines of
 
-  object <hash>
+  object <sha1>
   type <typename>
   tag <tagname>
   tagger <tagger>
 
 followed by some 'optional' free-form message (some tags created
-by older Git may not have `tagger` line).  The message, when it
+by older Git may not have `tagger` line).  The message, when
 exists, is separated by a blank line from the header.  The
 message part may contain a signature that Git itself doesn't
 care about, but that can be verified with gpg.
