@@ -551,51 +551,6 @@ Writing Documentation:
  documentation, please see the documentation-related advice in the
  Documentation/SubmittingPatches file).
 
- 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.

+
+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.
+The fix was authored by Kevin Backhouse, Jeff King, and Taylor Blau.

+Git v2.30.7 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+This release addresses the security issues CVE-2022-41903 and
+CVE-2022-23521.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.30.6
+-------------------
+
+ * CVE-2022-41903:
+
+   git log has the ability to display commits using an arbitrary
+   format with its --format specifiers. This functionality is also
+   exposed to git archive via the export-subst gitattribute.
+
+   When processing the padding operators (e.g., %<(, %<|(, %>(,
+   %>>(, or %><( ), an integer overflow can occur in
+   pretty.c::format_and_pad_commit() where a size_t is improperly
+   stored as an int, and then added as an offset to a subsequent
+   memcpy() call.
+
+   This overflow can be triggered directly by a user running a
+   command which invokes the commit formatting machinery (e.g., git
+   log --format=...). It may also be triggered indirectly through
+   git archive via the export-subst mechanism, which expands format
+   specifiers inside of files within the repository during a git
+   archive.
+
+   This integer overflow can result in arbitrary heap writes, which
+   may result in remote code execution.
+
+* CVE-2022-23521:
+
+    gitattributes are a mechanism to allow defining attributes for
+    paths. These attributes can be defined by adding a `.gitattributes`
+    file to the repository, which contains a set of file patterns and
+    the attributes that should be set for paths matching this pattern.
+
+    When parsing gitattributes, multiple integer overflows can occur
+    when there is a huge number of path patterns, a huge number of
+    attributes for a single pattern, or when the declared attribute
+    names are huge.
+
+    These overflows can be triggered via a crafted `.gitattributes` file
+    that may be part of the commit history. Git silently splits lines
+    longer than 2KB when parsing gitattributes from a file, but not when
+    parsing them from the index. Consequentially, the failure mode
+    depends on whether the file exists in the working tree, the index or
+    both.
+
+    This integer overflow can result in arbitrary heap reads and writes,
+    which may result in remote code execution.
+
+Credit for finding CVE-2022-41903 goes to Joern Schneeweisz of GitLab.
+An initial fix was authored by Markus Vervier of X41 D-Sec. Credit for
+finding CVE-2022-23521 goes to Markus Vervier and Eric Sesterhenn of X41
+D-Sec. This work was sponsored by OSTIF.
+
+The proposed fixes have been polished and extended to cover additional
+findings by Patrick Steinhardt of GitLab, with help from others on the
+Git security mailing list.

+Git v2.30.8 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+This release addresses the security issues CVE-2023-22490 and
+CVE-2023-23946.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.30.7
+-------------------
+
+ * CVE-2023-22490:
+
+   Using a specially-crafted repository, Git can be tricked into using
+   its local clone optimization even when using a non-local transport.
+   Though Git will abort local clones whose source $GIT_DIR/objects
+   directory contains symbolic links (c.f., CVE-2022-39253), the objects
+   directory itself may still be a symbolic link.
+
+   These two may be combined to include arbitrary files based on known
+   paths on the victim's filesystem within the malicious repository's
+   working copy, allowing for data exfiltration in a similar manner as
+   CVE-2022-39253.
+
+ * CVE-2023-23946:
+
+   By feeding a crafted input to "git apply", a path outside the
+   working tree can be overwritten as the user who is running "git
+   apply".
+
+ * A mismatched type in `attr.c::read_attr_from_index()` which could
+   cause Git to errantly reject attributes on Windows and 32-bit Linux
+   has been corrected.
+
+Credit for finding CVE-2023-22490 goes to yvvdwf, and the fix was
+developed by Taylor Blau, with additional help from others on the
+Git security mailing list.
+
+Credit for finding CVE-2023-23946 goes to Joern Schneeweisz, and the
+fix was developed by Patrick Steinhardt.
+
+
+Johannes Schindelin (1):
+      attr: adjust a mismatched data type
+
+Patrick Steinhardt (1):
+      apply: fix writing behind newly created symbolic links
+
+Taylor Blau (3):
+      t5619: demonstrate clone_local() with ambiguous transport
+      clone: delay picking a transport until after get_repo_path()

-Git 2.33 Release Notes
-======================
-
-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 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 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.

-   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
-   platforms do not allow removal of a file that still has mapping.
-
- * 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

-   corrected.
-

-
- * 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).
-

-
- * The "--color-lines" and "--color-by-age" options of "git blame"
-   have been missing, which are now documented.
-   (merge 8c32856133 bs/doc-blame-color-lines later to maint).
-
- * The PATH used in CI job may be too wide and let incompatible dlls
-   to be grabbed, which can cause the build&test to fail.  Tighten it.
-   (merge 7491ef6198 js/windows-ci-path-fix later to maint).
-
- * Avoid performance measurements from getting ruined by gc and other
-   housekeeping pauses interfering in the middle.
-   (merge be79131a53 rs/disable-gc-during-perf-tests 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).
-
- * "git commit" gave duplicated error message when the object store
-   was unwritable, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 4ef91a2d79 ab/fix-commit-error-message-upon-unwritable-object-store 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).
-
- * Improve test framework around unwritable directories.
-   (merge 5d22e18965 ab/test-cleanly-recreate-trash-directory later to maint).
-
- * "git push" client talking to an HTTP server did not diagnose the
-   lack of the final status report from the other side correctly,
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge c5c3486f38 jk/http-push-status-fix later to maint).
-
- * Update "git archive" documentation and give explicit mention on the
-   compression level for both zip and tar.gz format.
-   (merge c4b208c309 bs/archive-doc-compression-level later to maint).
-
- * Drop "git sparse-checkout" from the list of common commands.
-   (merge 6a9a50a8af sg/sparse-index-not-that-common-a-command later to maint).
-
- * "git branch -c/-m new old" was not described to copy config, which
-   has been corrected.
-   (merge 8252ec300e jc/branch-copy-doc later to maint).
-
- * Squelch over-eager warning message added during this cycle.
-
- * Fix long-standing shell syntax error in the completion script.
-   (merge 46b0585286 re/completion-fix-test-equality later to maint).
-
- * Teach "git commit-graph" command not to allow using replace objects
-   at all, as we do not use the commit-graph at runtime when we see
-   object replacement.
-   (merge 095d112f8c ab/ignore-replace-while-working-on-commit-graph later to maint).
-
- * "git pull --no-verify" did not affect the underlying "git merge".
-   (merge 47bfdfb3fd ar/fix-git-pull-no-verify 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.
-   (merge 361cb52383 jc/fix-pull-ff-only-when-already-up-to-date later to maint).
-
- * The way Cygwin emulates a unix-domain socket, on top of which the
-   simple-ipc mechanism is implemented, can race with the program on
-   the other side that wants to use the socket, and briefly make it
-   appear as a regular file before lstat(2) starts reporting it as a
-   socket.  We now have a workaround on the side that connects to a
-   unix domain socket.

-Git v2.34.1 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-This release is primarily to fix a handful of regressions in Git 2.34.
-
-Fixes since v2.34
------------------
-
- * "git grep" looking in a blob that has non-UTF8 payload was
-   completely broken when linked with certain versions of PCREv2
-   library in the latest release.
-
- * "git pull" with any strategy when the other side is behind us
-   should succeed as it is a no-op, but doesn't.
-
- * An earlier change in 2.34.0 caused JGit application (that abused
-   GIT_EDITOR mechanism when invoking "git config") to get stuck with
-   a SIGTTOU signal; it has been reverted.
-

-
-Like the the packed archive format itself bundles can either be

-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`

-
-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`).
 
+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>`.

-recipient repository has the required prerequisite commits for a
