- 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.

-all named like `v2-000n-my-commit-subject.patch`. `-v2` will also format
-your patches by prefixing them with "[PATCH v2]" instead of "[PATCH]",
-and your range-diff will be prefaced with "Range-diff against v1".

-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).
-

-   by forcing them to use separate output files during the test.

-   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).

-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.

-   clean/smudge filter is missing, but an assert before that

-
- * Update C code that sets a few configuration variables when a remote
-   is configured so that it spells configuration variable names in the

-   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 5ee90326dc cc/downcase-opt-help later to maint).
-
- * Plug or annotate remaining leaks that trigger while running the
-   very basic set of tests.
-   (merge 68ffe095a2 ah/plugleaks later to maint).
-
- * The hashwrite() API uses a buffering mechanism to avoid calling
-   write(2) too frequently. This logic has been refactored to be
-   easier to understand.
-   (merge ddaf1f62e3 ds/clarify-hashwrite later to maint).
-
- * "git cherry-pick/revert" with or without "--[no-]edit" did not spawn
-   the editor as expected (e.g. "revert --no-edit" after a conflict
-   still asked to edit the message), which has been corrected.
-   (merge 39edfd5cbc en/sequencer-edit-upon-conflict-fix later to maint).
-

-   as directory separator.
-   (merge 9a7f1ce8b7 rs/daemon-sanitize-dir-sep later to maint).

-   (merge c7d0e61016 tb/precompose-prefix-simplify later to maint).
-
- * The command-line completion script (in contrib/) had a couple of
-   references that would have given a warning under the "-u" (nounset)
-   option.
-   (merge c5c0548d79 vs/completion-with-set-u later to maint).
-
- * When "git pack-objects" makes a literal copy of a part of existing
-   packfile using the reachability bitmaps, its update to the progress
-   meter was broken.

-
- * The prefetch task in "git maintenance" assumed that "git fetch"

-   fetch too much if the user is interested in only a subset of
-   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).
-
- * "git --config-env var=val cmd" weren't accepted (only
-   --config-env=var=val was).
-   (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).

-
- * Portability fix for command line completion script (in contrib/).
-   (merge f2acf763e2 si/zsh-complete-comment-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git repack -A -d" in a partial clone unnecessarily loosened
-   objects in promisor pack.
-

-   work, which has been corrected.
-

-   (merge ad9322da03 js/merge-already-up-to-date-message-reword later to maint).
-
- * "git submodule update --quiet" did not propagate the quiet option
-   down to underlying "git fetch", which has been corrected.

-
- * Document that our test can use "local" keyword.

-   regexp that can match an empty string.

-
- * "git p4" learned to find branch points more efficiently.
-   (merge 6b79818bfb jk/p4-locate-branch-point-optim later to maint).

-
- * "git clean" and "git ls-files -i" had confusion around working on
-   or showing ignored paths inside an ignored directory, which has
-   been corrected.
-   (merge b548f0f156 en/dir-traversal later to maint).
-
- * The handling of "%(push)" formatting element of "for-each-ref" and
-   friends was broken when the same codepath started handling
-   "%(push:<what>)", which has been corrected.
-   (merge 1e1c4c5eac zh/ref-filter-push-remote-fix later to maint).
-
- * The bash prompt script (in contrib/) did not work under "set -u".
-   (merge 5c0cbdb107 en/prompt-under-set-u later to maint).
-
- * The "chainlint" feature in the test framework is a handy way to
-   catch common mistakes in writing new tests, but tends to get
-   expensive.  An knob to selectively disable it has been introduced
-   to help running tests that the developer has not modified.
-   (merge 2d86a96220 jk/test-chainlint-softer later to maint).
-
- * The "rev-parse" command did not diagnose the lack of argument to
-   "--path-format" option, which was introduced in v2.31 era, which
-   has been corrected.

- * 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 optimized out for the 'ort' merge strategy.
-
- * 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.
-
- * Rewrite of "git submodule" in C continues.
-
- * "git checkout" and "git commit" learn to work without unnecessarily
-   expanding sparse indexes.
-
-
-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).
-
- * The local changes stashed by "git merge --autostash" were lost when
-   the merge failed in certain ways, which has been corrected.
-
- * Windows rmdir() equivalent behaves differently from POSIX ones in
-   that when used on a symbolic link that points at a directory, the
-   target directory gets removed, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 3e7d4888e5 tb/mingw-rmdir-symlink-to-directory later to maint).
-
- * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
-   (merge bfe35a6165 ah/doc-describe later to maint).

-Git 2.33.1 Release Notes
-========================
-
-This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated during the
-development towards Git 2.34, the next feature release.
-
-
-Fixes since v2.33
------------------
-
- * The unicode character width table (used for output alignment) has
-   been updated.
-
- * Input validation of "git pack-objects --stdin-packs" has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Bugfix for common ancestor negotiation recently introduced in "git
-   push" codepath.
-
- * "git pull" had various corner cases that were not well thought out
-   around its --rebase backend, e.g. "git pull --ff-only" did not stop
-   but went ahead and rebased when the history on other side is not a
-   descendant of our history.  The series tries to fix them up.
-
- * "git apply" miscounted the bytes and failed to read to the end of
-   binary hunks.
-
- * "git range-diff" code clean-up.
-
- * "git commit --fixup" now works with "--edit" again, after it was
-   broken in v2.32.
-
- * Use upload-artifacts v1 (instead of v2) for 32-bit linux, as the
-   new version has a blocker bug for that architecture.
-
- * Checking out all the paths from HEAD during the last conflicted
-   step in "git rebase" and continuing would cause the step to be
-   skipped (which is expected), but leaves MERGE_MSG file behind in
-   $GIT_DIR and confuses the next "git commit", which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Various bugs in "git rebase -r" have been fixed.
-
- * mmap() imitation used to call xmalloc() that dies upon malloc()
-   failure, which has been corrected to just return an error to the
-   caller to be handled.
-
- * "git diff --relative" segfaulted and/or produced incorrect result
-   when there are unmerged paths.
-
- * The delayed checkout code path in "git checkout" etc. were chatty
-   even when --quiet and/or --no-progress options were given.
-
- * "git branch -D <branch>" used to refuse to remove a broken branch
-   ref that points at a missing commit, which has been corrected.
-
- * Build update for Apple clang.
-
- * The parser for the "--nl" option of "git column" has been
-   corrected.
-
- * "git upload-pack" which runs on the other side of "git fetch"
-   forgot to take the ref namespaces into account when handling
-   want-ref requests.
-
- * The sparse-index support can corrupt the index structure by storing
-   a stale and/or uninitialized data, which has been corrected.
-
- * Buggy tests could damage repositories outside the throw-away test
-   area we created.  We now by default export GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
-   to limit the damage from such a stray test.
-
- * Even when running "git send-email" without its own threaded
-   discussion support, a threading related header in one message is
-   carried over to the subsequent message to result in an unwanted
-   threading, which has been corrected.
-
- * The output from "git fast-export", when its anonymization feature
-   is in use, showed an annotated tag incorrectly.
-
- * Recent "diff -m" changes broke "gitk", which has been corrected.
-
- * "git maintenance" scheduler fix for macOS.
-
- * A pathname in an advice message has been made cut-and-paste ready.
-
- * The "git apply -3" code path learned not to bother the lower level
-   merge machinery when the three-way merge can be trivially resolved
-   without the content level merge.
-
- * The code that optionally creates the *.rev reverse index file has
-   been optimized to avoid needless computation when it is not writing
-   the file out.
-
- * "git range-diff -I... <range> <range>" segfaulted, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * The order in which various files that make up a single (conceptual)
-   packfile has been reevaluated and straightened up.  This matters in
-   correctness, as an incomplete set of files must not be shown to a
-   running Git.
-
- * The "mode" word is useless in a call to open(2) that does not
-   create a new file.  Such a call in the files backend of the ref
-   subsystem has been cleaned up.
-
- * "git update-ref --stdin" failed to flush its output as needed,
-   which potentially led the conversation to a deadlock.
-
- * When "git am --abort" fails to abort correctly, it still exited
-   with exit status of 0, which has been corrected.
-
- * Correct nr and alloc members of strvec struct to be of type size_t.
-
- * "git stash", where the tentative change involves changing a
-   directory to a file (or vice versa), was confused, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * "git clone" from a repository whose HEAD is unborn into a bare
-   repository didn't follow the branch name the other side used, which
-   is corrected.
-
- * "git cvsserver" had a long-standing bug in its authentication code,
-   which has finally been corrected (it is unclear and is a separate
-   question if anybody is seriously using it, though).
-
- * "git difftool --dir-diff" mishandled symbolic links.
-
- * Sensitive data in the HTTP trace were supposed to be redacted, but
-   we failed to do so in HTTP/2 requests.
-
- * "make clean" has been updated to remove leftover .depend/
-   directories, even when it is not told to use them to compute header
-   dependencies.
-
- * Protocol v0 clients can get stuck parsing a malformed feature line.
-
-Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

-Git 2.34 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Updates since Git 2.33
-----------------------
-
-Backward compatibility notes
-
- * The "--preserve-merges" option of "git rebase" has been removed.
-
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * Pathname expansion (like "~username/") learned a way to specify a
-   location relative to Git installation (e.g. its $sharedir which is
-   $(prefix)/share), with "%(prefix)".
-
- * The `ort` strategy is used instead of `recursive` as the default
-   merge strategy.
-
- * The userdiff pattern for "java" language has been updated.
-
- * "git rebase" by default skips changes that are equivalent to
-   commits that are already in the history the branch is rebased onto;
-   give messages when this happens to let the users be aware of
-   skipped commits, and also teach them how to tell "rebase" to keep
-   duplicated changes.
-
- * The advice message that "git cherry-pick" gives when it asks
-   conflicted replay of a commit to be resolved by the end user has
-   been updated.
-
- * After "git clone --recurse-submodules", all submodules are cloned
-   but they are not by default recursed into by other commands.  With
-   submodule.stickyRecursiveClone configuration set, submodule.recurse
-   configuration is set to true in a repository created by "clone"
-   with "--recurse-submodules" option.
-
- * The logic for auto-correction of misspelt subcommands learned to go
-   interactive when the help.autocorrect configuration variable is set
-   to 'prompt'.
-
- * "git maintenance" scheduler learned to use systemd timers as a
-   possible backend.
-
- * "git diff --submodule=diff" showed failure from run_command() when
-   trying to run diff inside a submodule, when the user manually
-   removes the submodule directory.
-
- * "git bundle unbundle" learned to show progress display.
-
- * In cone mode, the sparse-index code path learned to remove ignored
-   files (like build artifacts) outside the sparse cone, allowing the
-   entire directory outside the sparse cone to be removed, which is
-   especially useful when the sparse patterns change.
-
- * Taking advantage of the CGI interface, http-backend has been
-   updated to enable protocol v2 automatically when the other side
-   asks for it.
-
- * The credential-cache helper has been adjusted to Windows.
-
- * The error in "git help no-such-git-command" is handled better.
-
- * The unicode character width table (used for output alignment) has
-   been updated.
-
- * The ref iteration code used to optionally allow dangling refs to be
-   shown, which has been tightened up.
-
- * "git add", "git mv", and "git rm" have been adjusted to avoid
-   updating paths outside of the sparse-checkout definition unless
-   the user specifies a "--sparse" option.
-
- * "git repack" has been taught to generate multi-pack reachability
-   bitmaps.
-
- * "git fsck" has been taught to report mismatch between expected and
-   actual types of an object better.
-
- * In addition to GnuPG, ssh public crypto can be used for object and
-   push-cert signing.  Note that this feature cannot be used with
-   ssh-keygen from OpenSSH 8.7, whose support for it is broken.  Avoid
-   using it unless you update to OpenSSH 8.8.
-
- * "git log --grep=string --author=name" learns to highlight hits just
-   like "git grep string" does.
-
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * "git bisect" spawned "git show-branch" only to pretty-print the
-   title of the commit after checking out the next version to be
-   tested; this has been rewritten in C.
-
- * "git add" can work better with the sparse index.
-
- * Support for ancient versions of cURL library (pre 7.19.4) has been
-   dropped.
-
- * A handful of tests that assumed implementation details of files
-   backend for refs have been cleaned up.
-
- * trace2 logs learned to show parent process name to see in what
-   context Git was invoked.
-
- * Loading of ref tips to prepare for common ancestry negotiation in
-   "git fetch-pack" has been optimized by taking advantage of the
-   commit graph when available.
-
- * Remind developers that the userdiff patterns should be kept simple
-   and permissive, assuming that the contents they apply are always
-   syntactically correct.
-
- * The current implementation of GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is broken in
-   that checking for the lack of a prerequisite would not work.  Avoid
-   the use of "if ! test_have_prereq X" in a test script.
-
- * The revision traversal API has been optimized by taking advantage
-   of the commit-graph, when available, to determine if a commit is
-   reachable from any of the existing refs.
-
- * "git fetch --quiet" optimization to avoid useless computation of
-   info that will never be displayed.
-
- * Callers from older advice_config[] based API has been updated to
-   use the newer advice_if_enabled() and advice_enabled() API.
-
- * Teach "test_pause" and "debug" helpers to allow using the HOME and
-   TERM environment variables the user usually uses.
-
- * "make INSTALL_STRIP=-s install" allows the installation step to use
-   "install -s" to strip the binaries as they get installed.
-
- * Code that handles large number of refs in the "git fetch" code
-   path has been optimized.
-
- * The reachability bitmap file used to be generated only for a single
-   pack, but now we've learned to generate bitmaps for history that
-   span across multiple packfiles.
-
- * The code to make "git grep" recurse into submodules has been
-   updated to migrate away from the "add submodule's object store as
-   an alternate object store" mechanism (which is suboptimal).
-
- * The tracing of process ancestry information has been enhanced.
-
- * Reduce number of write(2) system calls while sending the
-   ref advertisement.
-
- * Update the build procedure to use the "-pedantic" build when
-   DEVELOPER makefile macro is in effect.
-
- * Large part of "git submodule add" gets rewritten in C.
-
- * The run-command API has been updated so that the callers can easily
-   ask the file descriptors open for packfiles to be closed immediately
-   before spawning commands that may trigger auto-gc.
-
- * An oddball OPTION_ARGUMENT feature has been removed from the
-   parse-options API.
-
- * The mergesort implementation used to sort linked list has been
-   optimized.
-
- * Remove external declaration of functions that no longer exist.
-
- * "git multi-pack-index write --bitmap" learns to propagate the
-   hashcache from original bitmap to resulting bitmap.
-
- * CI learns to run the leak sanitizer builds.
-
- * "git grep --recurse-submodules" takes trees and blobs from the
-   submodule repository, but the textconv settings when processing a
-   blob from the submodule is not taken from the submodule repository.
-   A test is added to demonstrate the issue, without fixing it.
-
- * Teach "git help -c" into helping the command line completion of
-   configuration variables.
-
- * When "git cmd -h" shows more than one line of usage text (e.g.
-   the cmd subcommand may take sub-sub-command), parse-options API
-   learned to align these lines, even across i18n/l10n.
-
- * Prevent "make sparse" from running for the source files that
-   haven't been modified.
-
- * The code path to write a new version of .midx multi-pack index files
-   has learned to release the mmaped memory holding the current
-   version of .midx before removing them from the disk, as some

- * A new feature has been added to abort early in the test framework.
-
-
-Fixes since v2.33
------------------
-
- * Input validation of "git pack-objects --stdin-packs" has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Bugfix for common ancestor negotiation recently introduced in "git
-   push" code path.
-
- * "git pull" had various corner cases that were not well thought out
-   around its --rebase backend, e.g. "git pull --ff-only" did not stop
-   but went ahead and rebased when the history on other side is not a
-   descendant of our history.  The series tries to fix them up.
-
- * "git apply" miscounted the bytes and failed to read to the end of
-   binary hunks.
-
- * "git range-diff" code clean-up.
-
- * "git commit --fixup" now works with "--edit" again, after it was
-   broken in v2.32.
-
- * Use upload-artifacts v1 (instead of v2) for 32-bit linux, as the
-   new version has a blocker bug for that architecture.
-
- * Checking out all the paths from HEAD during the last conflicted
-   step in "git rebase" and continuing would cause the step to be
-   skipped (which is expected), but leaves MERGE_MSG file behind in
-   $GIT_DIR and confuses the next "git commit", which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Various bugs in "git rebase -r" have been fixed.
-
- * mmap() imitation used to call xmalloc() that dies upon malloc()
-   failure, which has been corrected to just return an error to the
-   caller to be handled.
-
- * "git diff --relative" segfaulted and/or produced incorrect result
-   when there are unmerged paths.
-
- * The delayed checkout code path in "git checkout" etc. were chatty
-   even when --quiet and/or --no-progress options were given.
-
- * "git branch -D <branch>" used to refuse to remove a broken branch
-   ref that points at a missing commit, which has been corrected.
-
- * Build update for Apple clang.
-
- * The parser for the "--nl" option of "git column" has been
-   corrected.
-
- * "git upload-pack" which runs on the other side of "git fetch"
-   forgot to take the ref namespaces into account when handling
-   want-ref requests.
-
- * The sparse-index support can corrupt the index structure by storing
-   a stale and/or uninitialized data, which has been corrected.
-
- * Buggy tests could damage repositories outside the throw-away test
-   area we created.  We now by default export GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
-   to limit the damage from such a stray test.
-
- * Even when running "git send-email" without its own threaded
-   discussion support, a threading related header in one message is
-   carried over to the subsequent message to result in an unwanted
-   threading, which has been corrected.
-
- * The output from "git fast-export", when its anonymization feature
-   is in use, showed an annotated tag incorrectly.
-
- * Recent "diff -m" changes broke "gitk", which has been corrected.
-
- * The "git apply -3" code path learned not to bother the lower level
-   merge machinery when the three-way merge can be trivially resolved
-   without the content level merge.  This fixes a regression caused by
-   recent "-3way first and fall back to direct application" change.
-
- * The code that optionally creates the *.rev reverse index file has
-   been optimized to avoid needless computation when it is not writing
-   the file out.
-
- * "git range-diff -I... <range> <range>" segfaulted, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * The order in which various files that make up a single (conceptual)
-   packfile has been reevaluated and straightened up.  This matters in
-   correctness, as an incomplete set of files must not be shown to a
-   running Git.
-
- * The "mode" word is useless in a call to open(2) that does not
-   create a new file.  Such a call in the files backend of the ref
-   subsystem has been cleaned up.
-
- * "git update-ref --stdin" failed to flush its output as needed,
-   which potentially led the conversation to a deadlock.
-
- * When "git am --abort" fails to abort correctly, it still exited
-   with exit status of 0, which has been corrected.
-
- * Correct nr and alloc members of strvec struct to be of type size_t.
-
- * "git stash", where the tentative change involves changing a
-   directory to a file (or vice versa), was confused, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * "git clone" from a repository whose HEAD is unborn into a bare
-   repository didn't follow the branch name the other side used, which
-   is corrected.
-
- * "git cvsserver" had a long-standing bug in its authentication code,
-   which has finally been corrected (it is unclear and is a separate
-   question if anybody is seriously using it, though).
-
- * "git difftool --dir-diff" mishandled symbolic links.
-
- * Sensitive data in the HTTP trace were supposed to be redacted, but
-   we failed to do so in HTTP/2 requests.
-
- * "make clean" has been updated to remove leftover .depend/
-   directories, even when it is not told to use them to compute header
-   dependencies.
-
- * Protocol v0 clients can get stuck parsing a malformed feature line.
-
- * A few kinds of changes "git status" can show were not documented.
-   (merge d2a534c515 ja/doc-status-types-and-copies later to maint).
-
- * The mergesort implementation used to sort linked list has been
-   optimized.
-   (merge c90cfc225b rs/mergesort later to maint).
-
- * An editor session launched during a Git operation (e.g. during 'git
-   commit') can leave the terminal in a funny state.  The code path
-   has updated to save the terminal state before, and restore it
-   after, it spawns an editor.
-   (merge 3d411afabc cm/save-restore-terminal later to maint).
-
- * "git cat-file --batch" with the "--batch-all-objects" option is
-   supposed to iterate over all the objects found in a repository, but
-   it used to translate these object names using the replace mechanism,
-   which defeats the point of enumerating all objects in the repository.
-   This has been corrected.
-   (merge bf972896d7 jk/cat-file-batch-all-wo-replace later to maint).
-
- * Recent sparse-index work broke safety against attempts to add paths
-   with trailing slashes to the index, which has been corrected.
-   (merge c8ad9d04c6 rs/make-verify-path-really-verify-again later to maint).
-

- * Stop "git add --dry-run" from creating new blob and tree objects.
-   (merge e578d0311d rs/add-dry-run-without-objects later to maint).

-
- * Recent sparse-index addition, namely any use of index_name_pos(),
-   can expand sparse index entries and breaks any code that walks
-   cache-tree or existing index entries.  One such instance of such a
-   breakage has been corrected.
-
- * The xxdiff difftool backend can exit with status 128, which the
-   difftool-helper that launches the backend takes as a significant
-   failure, when it is not significant at all.  Work it around.
-   (merge 571f4348dd da/mergetools-special-case-xxdiff-exit-128 later to maint).

-   object replacement.
-   (merge 095d112f8c ab/ignore-replace-while-working-on-commit-graph later to maint).

-
- * One CI task based on Fedora image noticed a not-quite-kosher
-   construct recently, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git pull --ff-only" and "git pull --rebase --ff-only" should make
-   it a no-op to attempt pulling from a remote that is behind us, but
-   instead the command errored out by saying it was impossible to
-   fast-forward, which may technically be true, but not a useful thing
-   to diagnose as an error.  This has been corrected.

- * The way Cygwin emulates a unix-domain socket, on top of which the

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 
-Create, unpack, and manipulate "bundle" files. Bundles are used for
-the "offline" transfer of Git objects without an active "server"
-sitting on the other side of the network connection.
+Some workflows require that one or more branches of development on one
+machine be replicated on another machine, but the two machines cannot
+be directly connected, and therefore the interactive Git protocols (git,
+ssh, http) cannot be used.
 
-They can be used to create both incremental and full backups of a
-repository, and to relay the state of the references in one repository
-to another.
+The 'git bundle' command packages objects and references in an archive
+at the originating machine, which can then be imported into another
+repository using 'git fetch', 'git pull', or 'git clone',
+after moving the archive by some means (e.g., by sneakernet).
 
-Git commands that fetch or otherwise "read" via protocols such as
-`ssh://` and `https://` can also operate on bundle files. It is
-possible linkgit:git-clone[1] a new repository from a bundle, to use
-linkgit:git-fetch[1] to fetch from one, and to list the references
-contained within it with linkgit:git-ls-remote[1]. There's no
-corresponding "write" support, i.e.a 'git push' into a bundle is not
-supported.
-
-See the "EXAMPLES" section below for examples of how to use bundles.
-
-BUNDLE FORMAT
--------------
-
-Bundles are `.pack` files (see linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]) with a
-header indicating what references are contained within the bundle.
-
-Like the the packed archive format itself bundles can either be
-self-contained, or be created using exclusions.
-See the "OBJECT PREREQUISITES" section below.
-
-Bundles created using revision exclusions are "thin packs" created
-using the `--thin` option to linkgit:git-pack-objects[1], and
-unbundled using the `--fix-thin` option to linkgit:git-index-pack[1].
-
-There is no option to create a "thick pack" when using revision
-exclusions, and users should not be concerned about the difference. By
-using "thin packs", bundles created using exclusions are smaller in
-size. That they're "thin" under the hood is merely noted here as a
-curiosity, and as a reference to other documentation.
-
-See link:technical/bundle-format.html[the `bundle-format`
-documentation] for more details and the discussion of "thin pack" in
-link:technical/pack-format.html[the pack format documentation] for
-further details.
+As no
+direct connection between the repositories exists, the user must specify a

 SPECIFYING REFERENCES
 ---------------------
 
-Revisions must be accompanied by reference names to be packaged in a
-bundle.
-
-More than one reference may be packaged, and more than one set of prerequisite objects can
-be specified.  The objects packaged are those not contained in the
-union of the prerequisites.
-
-The 'git bundle create' command resolves the reference names for you
-using the same rules as `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref=loose`. Each
-prerequisite can be specified explicitly (e.g. `^master~10`), or implicitly
-(e.g. `master~10..master`, `--since=10.days.ago master`).
-
-All of these simple cases are OK (assuming we have a "master" and

-$ git bundle create master.bundle master
-$ echo master | git bundle create master.bundle --stdin
-$ git bundle create master-and-next.bundle master next
-$ (echo master; echo next) | git bundle create master-and-next.bundle --stdin

-OBJECT PREREQUISITES
---------------------
-
-When creating bundles it is possible to create a self-contained bundle
-that can be unbundled in a repository with no common history, as well
-as providing negative revisions to exclude objects needed in the
-earlier parts of the history.
-
-Feeding a revision such as `new` to `git bundle create` will create a
-bundle file that contains all the objects reachable from the revision
-`new`. That bundle can be unbundled in any repository to obtain a full
-history that leads to the revision `new`:
-
-----------------
-$ git bundle create full.bundle new
-----------------
-
-A revision range such as `old..new` will produce a bundle file that
-will require the revision `old` (and any objects reachable from it)
-to exist for the bundle to be "unbundle"-able:
-
-----------------
-$ git bundle create full.bundle old..new
-----------------
-
-A self-contained bundle without any prerequisites can be extracted
-into anywhere, even into an empty repository, or be cloned from
-(i.e., `new`, but not `old..new`).
+'git bundle' will only package references that are shown by
+'git show-ref': this includes heads, tags, and remote heads.  References
+such as `master~1` cannot be packaged, but are perfectly suitable for
+defining the basis.  More than one reference may be packaged, and more
+than one basis can be specified.  The objects packaged are those not
+contained in the union of the given bases.  Each basis can be
+specified explicitly (e.g. `^master~10`), or implicitly (e.g.
+`master~10..master`, `--since=10.days.ago master`).
 
+It is very important that the basis used be held by the destination.
 It is okay to err on the side of caution, causing the bundle file
 to contain objects already in the destination, as these are ignored
 when unpacking at the destination.
 
+`git clone` can use any bundle created without negative refspecs
+(e.g., `new`, but not `old..new`).
 If you want to match `git clone --mirror`, which would include your
 refs such as `refs/remotes/*`, use `--all`.
 If you want to provide the same set of refs that a clone directly
 from the source repository would get, use `--branches --tags` for
 the `<git-rev-list-args>`.
 
-The 'git bundle verify' command can be used to check whether your
-recipient repository has the required prerequisite commits for a

+	in that case, the output represents the changes the merge
+	brought _into_ the then-current branch.
+
+--diff-merges=off::
+--no-diff-merges::
+	Disable output of diffs for merge commits (default). Useful to
+	override `-m`, `-c`, or `--cc`.

-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 LINUX SYSTEMD SYSTEMS
------------------------------------------------
-
-While Linux supports `cron`, depending on the distribution, `cron` may
-be an optional package not necessarily installed. On modern Linux
-distributions, systemd timers are superseding it.
-
-If user systemd timers are available, they will be used as a replacement
-of `cron`.
-
-In this case, `git maintenance start` will create user systemd timer units
-and start the timers. The current list of user-scheduled tasks can be found
-by running `systemctl --user list-timers`. The timers written by `git
-maintenance start` are similar to this:
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-$ systemctl --user list-timers
-NEXT                         LEFT          LAST                         PASSED     UNIT                         ACTIVATES
-Thu 2021-04-29 19:00:00 CEST 42min left    Thu 2021-04-29 18:00:11 CEST 17min ago  git-maintenance@hourly.timer git-maintenance@hourly.service
-Fri 2021-04-30 00:00:00 CEST 5h 42min left Thu 2021-04-29 00:00:11 CEST 18h ago    git-maintenance@daily.timer  git-maintenance@daily.service
-Mon 2021-05-03 00:00:00 CEST 3 days left   Mon 2021-04-26 00:00:11 CEST 3 days ago git-maintenance@weekly.timer git-maintenance@weekly.service
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-One timer is registered for each `--schedule=<frequency>` option.
-
-The definition of the systemd units can be inspected in the following files:
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-~/.config/systemd/user/git-maintenance@.timer
-~/.config/systemd/user/git-maintenance@.service
-~/.config/systemd/user/timers.target.wants/git-maintenance@hourly.timer
-~/.config/systemd/user/timers.target.wants/git-maintenance@daily.timer
-~/.config/systemd/user/timers.target.wants/git-maintenance@weekly.timer
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-`git maintenance start` will overwrite these files and start the timer
-again with `systemctl --user`, so any customization should be done by
-creating a drop-in file, i.e. a `.conf` suffixed file in the
-`~/.config/systemd/user/git-maintenance@.service.d` directory.
-
-`git maintenance stop` will stop the user systemd timers and delete
-the above mentioned files.
-
-For more details, see `systemd.timer(5)`.
-
-
-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.
