-Program Output
-
- We make a distinction between a Git command's primary output and
- output which is merely chatty feedback (for instance, status
- messages, running transcript, or progress display), as well as error
- messages. Roughly speaking, a Git command's primary output is that
- which one might want to capture to a file or send down a pipe; its
- chatty output should not interfere with these use-cases.
-
- As such, primary output should be sent to the standard output stream
- (stdout), and chatty output should be sent to the standard error
- stream (stderr). Examples of commands which produce primary output
- include `git log`, `git show`, and `git branch --list` which generate
- output on the stdout stream.
-
- Not all Git commands have primary output; this is often true of
- commands whose main function is to perform an action. Some action
- commands are silent, whereas others are chatty. An example of a
- chatty action commands is `git clone` with its "Cloning into
- '<path>'..." and "Checking connectivity..." status messages which it
- sends to the stderr stream.
-
- Error messages from Git commands should always be sent to the stderr
- stream.
-
-
 Error Messages
 
  - Do not end error messages with a full stop.
 
- - Do not capitalize the first word, only because it is the first word
-   in the message ("unable to open %s", not "Unable to open %s").  But
-   "SHA-3 not supported" is fine, because the reason the first word is
-   capitalized is not because it is at the beginning of the sentence,
-   but because the word would be spelled in capital letters even when
-   it appeared in the middle of the sentence.
+ - Do not capitalize ("unable to open %s", not "Unable to open %s")

- 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 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

-We can note a few things:
-
-- Each commit is sent as a separate email, with the commit message title as
-  subject, prefixed with "[PATCH _i_/_n_]" for the _i_-th commit of an
-  _n_-commit series.
-- Each patch is sent as a reply to an introductory email called the _cover
-  letter_ of the series, prefixed "[PATCH 0/_n_]".
-- Subsequent iterations of the patch series are labelled "PATCH v2", "PATCH
-  v3", etc. in place of "PATCH". For example, "[PATCH v2 1/3]" would be the first of
-  three patches in the second iteration. Each iteration is sent with a new cover
-  letter (like "[PATCH v2 0/3]" above), itself a reply to the cover letter of the
-  previous iteration (more on that below).

-NOTE: A single-patch topic is sent with "[PATCH]", "[PATCH v2]", etc. without
-_i_/_n_ numbering (in the above thread overview, no single-patch topic appears,

+Git v2.30.9 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+This release addresses the security issues CVE-2023-25652,
+CVE-2023-25815, and CVE-2023-29007.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.30.8
+-------------------
+
+ * CVE-2023-25652:
+
+   By feeding specially crafted input to `git apply --reject`, a
+   path outside the working tree can be overwritten with partially
+   controlled contents (corresponding to the rejected hunk(s) from
+   the given patch).
+
+ * CVE-2023-25815:
+
+   When Git is compiled with runtime prefix support and runs without
+   translated messages, it still used the gettext machinery to
+   display messages, which subsequently potentially looked for
+   translated messages in unexpected places. This allowed for
+   malicious placement of crafted messages.
+
+ * CVE-2023-29007:
+
+   When renaming or deleting a section from a configuration file,
+   certain malicious configuration values may be misinterpreted as
+   the beginning of a new configuration section, leading to arbitrary
+   configuration injection.
+
+Credit for finding CVE-2023-25652 goes to Ry0taK, and the fix was
+developed by Taylor Blau, Junio C Hamano and Johannes Schindelin,
+with the help of Linus Torvalds.
+
+Credit for finding CVE-2023-25815 goes to Maxime Escourbiac and
+Yassine BENGANA of Michelin, and the fix was developed by Johannes
+Schindelin.
+
+Credit for finding CVE-2023-29007 goes to André Baptista and Vítor Pinho
+of Ethiack, and the fix was developed by Taylor Blau, and Johannes
+Schindelin, with help from Jeff King, and Patrick Steinhardt.

-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.
-
-
-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.
-
- * We had a code to diagnose and die cleanly when a required
-   clean/smudge filter is missing, but an assert before that
-   unnecessarily fired, hiding the end-user facing die() message.
-   (merge 6fab35f748 mt/cleanly-die-upon-missing-required-filter later to maint).
-
- * Update C code that sets a few configuration variables when a remote
-   is configured so that it spells configuration variable names in the
-   canonical camelCase.
-   (merge 0f1da600e6 ab/remote-write-config-in-camel-case later to maint).
-
- * A new configuration variable has been introduced to allow choosing
-   which version of the generation number gets used in the
-   commit-graph file.
-   (merge 702110aac6 ds/commit-graph-generation-config later to maint).
-
- * Perf test update to work better in secondary worktrees.
-   (merge 36e834abc1 jk/perf-in-worktrees later to maint).
-
- * Updates to memory allocation code around the use of pcre2 library.
-   (merge c1760352e0 ab/grep-pcre2-allocfix later to maint).
-
- * "git -c core.bare=false clone --bare ..." would have segfaulted,
-   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).
-
- * "git daemon" has been tightened against systems that take backslash
-   as directory separator.
-   (merge 9a7f1ce8b7 rs/daemon-sanitize-dir-sep later to maint).
-
- * A NULL-dereference bug has been corrected in an error codepath in
-   "git for-each-ref", "git branch --list" etc.
-   (merge c685450880 jk/ref-filter-segfault-fix later to maint).
-
- * Streamline the codepath to fix the UTF-8 encoding issues in the
-   argv[] and the prefix on macOS.
-   (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.
-   (merge 8e118e8490 jk/pack-objects-bitmap-progress-fix later to maint).
-
- * The dependencies for config-list.h and command-list.h were broken
-   when the former was split out of the latter, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 56550ea718 sg/bugreport-fixes later to maint).
-
- * "git push --quiet --set-upstream" was not quiet when setting the
-   upstream branch configuration, which has been corrected.
-   (merge f3cce896a8 ow/push-quiet-set-upstream later to maint).
-
- * The prefetch task in "git maintenance" assumed that "git fetch"
-   from any remote would fetch all its local branches, which would
-   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).
-
- * "git rebase --[no-]reschedule-failed-exec" did not work well with
-   its configuration variable, which has been corrected.
-   (merge e5b32bffd1 ab/rebase-no-reschedule-failed-exec 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.
-
- * "git bisect skip" when custom words are used for new/old did not
-   work, which has been corrected.
-
- * A few variants of informational message "Already up-to-date" has
-   been rephrased.
-   (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.
-   (merge 62af4bdd42 nc/submodule-update-quiet later to maint).
-
- * Document that our test can use "local" keyword.
-   (merge a84fd3bcc6 jc/test-allows-local later to maint).
-
- * The word-diff mode has been taught to work better with a word
-   regexp that can match an empty string.
-   (merge 0324e8fc6b pw/word-diff-zero-width-matches later to maint).
-
- * "git p4" learned to find branch points more efficiently.
-   (merge 6b79818bfb jk/p4-locate-branch-point-optim later to maint).
-
- * When "git update-ref -d" removes a ref that is packed, it left
-   empty directories under $GIT_DIR/refs/ for
-   (merge 5f03e5126d wc/packed-ref-removal-cleanup 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.
-   (merge 99fc555188 wm/rev-parse-path-format-wo-arg later to maint).

-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.
-   (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
-   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
-   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).
-
- * 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.
-
- * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
-   (merge f188160be9 ab/bundle-remove-verbose-option later to maint).

-=========================
-
-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.
-
- * An earlier change that broke .gitignore matching has been reverted.
-
- * SubmittingPatches document gained a syntactically incorrect mark-up,

-Git 2.35 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Updates since Git 2.34
-----------------------
-
-Backward compatibility warts
-
- * "_" is now treated as any other URL-valid characters in an URL when
-   matching the per-URL configuration variable names.
-
- * The color palette used by "git grep" has been updated to match that
-   of GNU grep.
-
-
-Note to those who build from the source
-
- * You may need to define NO_UNCOMPRESS2 Makefile macro if you build
-   with zlib older than 1.2.9.
-
- * If your compiler cannot grok C99, the build will fail.  See the
-   instruction at the beginning of git-compat-util.h if this happens
-   to you.
-
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * "git status --porcelain=v2" now show the number of stash entries
-   with --show-stash like the normal output does.
-
- * "git stash" learned the "--staged" option to stash away what has
-   been added to the index (and nothing else).
-
- * "git var GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH" is a way to see what name is used for
-   the newly created branch if "git init" is run.
-
- * Various operating modes of "git reset" have been made to work
-   better with the sparse index.
-
- * "git submodule deinit" for a submodule whose .git metadata
-   directory is embedded in its working tree refused to work, until
-   the submodule gets converted to use the "absorbed" form where the
-   metadata directory is stored in superproject, and a gitfile at the
-   top-level of the working tree of the submodule points at it.  The
-   command is taught to convert such submodules to the absorbed form
-   as needed.
-
- * The completion script (in contrib/) learns that the "--date"
-   option of commands from the "git log" family takes "human" and
-   "auto" as valid values.
-
- * "Zealous diff3" style of merge conflict presentation has been added.
-
- * The "git log --format=%(describe)" placeholder has been extended to
-   allow passing selected command-line options to the underlying "git
-   describe" command.
-
- * "default" and "reset" have been added to our color palette.
-
- * The cryptographic signing using ssh keys can specify literal keys
-   for keytypes whose name do not begin with the "ssh-" prefix by
-   using the "key::" prefix mechanism (e.g. "key::ecdsa-sha2-nistp256").
-
- * "git fetch" without the "--update-head-ok" option ought to protect
-   a checked out branch from getting updated, to prevent the working
-   tree that checks it out to go out of sync.  The code was written
-   before the use of "git worktree" got widespread, and only checked
-   the branch that was checked out in the current worktree, which has
-   been updated.
-
- * "git name-rev" has been tweaked to give output that is shorter and
-   easier to understand.
-
- * "git apply" has been taught to ignore a message without a patch
-   with the "--allow-empty" option.  It also learned to honor the
-   "--quiet" option given from the command line.
-
- * The "init" and "set" subcommands in "git sparse-checkout" have been
-   unified for a better user experience and performance.
-
- * Many git commands that deal with working tree files try to remove a
-   directory that becomes empty (i.e. "git switch" from a branch that
-   has the directory to another branch that does not would attempt
-   remove all files in the directory and the directory itself).  This
-   drops users into an unfamiliar situation if the command was run in
-   a subdirectory that becomes subject to removal due to the command.
-   The commands have been taught to keep an empty directory if it is
-   the directory they were started in to avoid surprising users.
-
- * "git am" learns "--empty=(stop|drop|keep)" option to tweak what is
-   done to a piece of e-mail without a patch in it.
-
- * The default merge message prepared by "git merge" records the name
-   of the current branch; the name can be overridden with a new option
-   to allow users to pretend a merge is made on a different branch.
-
- * The way "git p4" shows file sizes in its output has been updated to
-   use human-readable units.
-
- * "git -c branch.autosetupmerge=inherit branch new old" makes "new"
-   to have the same upstream as the "old" branch, instead of marking
-   "old" itself as its upstream.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * The use of errno as a means to carry the nature of error in the ref
-   API implementation has been reworked and reduced.
-
- * Teach and encourage first-time contributors to this project to
-   state the base commit when they submit their topic.
-
- * The command line completion for "git send-email" options have been
-   tweaked to make it easier to keep it in sync with the command itself.
-
- * Ensure that the sparseness of the in-core index matches the
-   index.sparse configuration specified by the repository immediately
-   after the on-disk index file is read.
-
- * Code clean-up to eventually allow information on remotes defined
-   for an arbitrary repository to be read.
-
- * Build optimization.
-
- * Tighten code for testing pack-bitmap.
-
- * Weather balloon to break people with compilers that do not support
-   C99.
-
- * The "reftable" backend for the refs API, without integrating into
-   the refs subsystem, has been added.
-
- * More tests are marked as leak-free.
-
- * The test framework learns to list unsatisfied test prerequisites,
-   and optionally error out when prerequisites that are expected to be
-   satisfied are not.
-
- * The default setting for trace2 event nesting was too low to cause
-   test failures, which is worked around by bumping it up in the test
-   framework.
-
- * Drop support for TravisCI and update test workflows at GitHub.
-
- * Many tests that used to need GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME
-   mechanism to force "git" to use 'master' as the default name for
-   the initial branch no longer need it; the use of the mechanism from
-   them have been removed.
-
- * Allow running our tests while disabling fsync.
-
- * Document the parameters given to the reflog entry iterator callback
-   functions.
-   (merge e6e94f34b2 jc/reflog-iterator-callback-doc later to maint).
-
- * The test helper for refs subsystem learned to write bogus and/or
-   nonexistent object name to refs to simulate error situations we
-   want to test Git in.
-
- * "diff --histogram" optimization.
-
- * Weather balloon to find compilers that do not grok variable
-   declaration in the for() loop.
-
- * diff and blame commands have been taught to work better with sparse
-   index.
-
- * The chainlint test script linter in the test suite has been updated.
-
- * The DEVELOPER=yes build uses -std=gnu99 now.
-
- * "git format-patch" uses a single rev_info instance and then exits.
-   Mark the structure with UNLEAK() macro to squelch leak sanitizer.
-
- * New interface into the tmp-objdir API to help in-core use of the
-   quarantine feature.
-
- * Broken &&-chains in the test scripts have been corrected.
-
- * The RCS keyword substitution in "git p4" used to be done assuming
-   that the contents are UTF-8 text, which can trigger decoding
-   errors.  We now treat the contents as a bytestring for robustness
-   and correctness.
-
- * The conditions to choose different definitions of the FLEX_ARRAY
-   macro for vendor compilers has been simplified to make it easier to
-   maintain.
-
- * Correctness and performance update to "diff --color-moved" feature.
-
- * "git upload-pack" (the other side of "git fetch") used a 8kB buffer
-   but most of its payload came on 64kB "packets".  The buffer size
-   has been enlarged so that such a packet fits.
-
- * "git fetch" and "git pull" are now declared sparse-index clean.
-   Also "git ls-files" learns the "--sparse" option to help debugging.
-
- * Similar message templates have been consolidated so that
-   translators need to work on fewer number of messages.
-
-
-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.
-
- * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
-
- * "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.
-
- * An earlier change that broke .gitignore matching has been reverted.
-
- * Things like "git -c branch.sort=bogus branch new HEAD", i.e. the
-   operation modes of the "git branch" command that do not need the
-   sort key information, no longer errors out by seeing a bogus sort
-   key.
-   (merge 98e7ab6d42 jc/fix-ref-sorting-parse later to maint).
-
- * The compatibility implementation for unsetenv(3) were written to
-   mimic ancient, non-POSIX, variant seen in an old glibc; it has been
-   changed to return an integer to match the more modern era.
-   (merge a38989bd5b jc/unsetenv-returns-an-int later to maint).
-
- * The clean/smudge conversion code path has been prepared to better
-   work on platforms where ulong is narrower than size_t.
-   (merge 596b5e77c9 mc/clean-smudge-with-llp64 later to maint).
-
- * Redact the path part of packfile URI that appears in the trace output.
-   (merge 0ba558ffb1 if/redact-packfile-uri later to maint).
-
- * CI has been taught to catch some Unicode directional formatting
-   sequence that can be used in certain mischief.
-   (merge 0e7696c64d js/ci-no-directional-formatting later to maint).
-
- * The "--date=format:<strftime>" gained a workaround for the lack of
-   system support for a non-local timezone to handle "%s" placeholder.
-   (merge 9b591b9403 jk/strbuf-addftime-seconds-since-epoch later to maint).
-
- * The "merge" subcommand of "git jump" (in contrib/) silently ignored
-   pathspec and other parameters.
-   (merge 67ba13e5a4 jk/jump-merge-with-pathspec later to maint).
-
- * The code to decode the length of packed object size has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 34de5b8eac jt/pack-header-lshift-overflow later to maint).
-
- * The advice message given by "git pull" when the user hasn't made a
-   choice between merge and rebase still said that the merge is the
-   default, which no longer is the case.  This has been corrected.
-   (merge 71076d0edd ah/advice-pull-has-no-preference-between-rebase-and-merge later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch", when received a bad packfile, can fail with SIGPIPE.
-   This wasn't wrong per-se, but we now detect the situation and fail
-   in a more predictable way.
-   (merge 2a4aed42ec jk/fetch-pack-avoid-sigpipe-to-index-pack later to maint).
-
- * The function to cull a child process and determine the exit status
-   had two separate code paths for normal callers and callers in a
-   signal handler, and the latter did not yield correct value when the
-   child has caught a signal.  The handling of the exit status has
-   been unified for these two code paths.  An existing test with
-   flakiness has also been corrected.
-   (merge 5263e22cba jk/t7006-sigpipe-tests-fix later to maint).
-
- * When a non-existent program is given as the pager, we tried to
-   reuse an uninitialized child_process structure and crashed, which
-   has been fixed.
-   (merge f917f57f40 em/missing-pager later to maint).
-
- * The single-key-input mode in "git add -p" had some code to handle
-   keys that generate a sequence of input via ReadKey(), which did not
-   handle end-of-file correctly, which has been fixed.
-   (merge fc8a8126df cb/add-p-single-key-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase -x" added an unnecessary 'exec' instructions before
-   'noop', which has been corrected.
-   (merge cc9dcdee61 en/rebase-x-fix later to maint).
-
- * When the "git push" command is killed while the receiving end is
-   trying to report what happened to the ref update proposals, the
-   latter used to die, due to SIGPIPE.  The code now ignores SIGPIPE
-   to increase our chances to run the post-receive hook after it
-   happens.
-   (merge d34182b9e3 rj/receive-pack-avoid-sigpipe-during-status-reporting later to maint).
-
- * "git worktree add" showed "Preparing worktree" message to the
-   standard output stream, but when it failed, the message from die()
-   went to the standard error stream.  Depending on the order the
-   stdio streams are flushed at the program end, this resulted in
-   confusing output.  It has been corrected by sending all the chatty
-   messages to the standard error stream.
-   (merge b50252484f es/worktree-chatty-to-stderr later to maint).
-
- * Coding guideline document has been updated to clarify what goes to
-   standard error in our system.
-   (merge e258eb4800 es/doc-stdout-vs-stderr later to maint).
-
- * The sparse-index/sparse-checkout feature had a bug in its use of
-   the matching code to determine which path is in or outside the
-   sparse checkout patterns.
-   (merge 8c5de0d265 ds/sparse-deep-pattern-checkout-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git rebase -x" by mistake started exporting the GIT_DIR and
-   GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables when the command was rewritten
-   in C, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 434e0636db en/rebase-x-wo-git-dir-env later to maint).
-
- * When "git log" implicitly enabled the "decoration" processing
-   without being explicitly asked with "--decorate" option, it failed
-   to read and honor the settings given by the "--decorate-refs"
-   option.
-
- * "git fetch --set-upstream" did not check if there is a current
-   branch, leading to a segfault when it is run on a detached HEAD,
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge 17baeaf82d ab/fetch-set-upstream-while-detached later to maint).
-
- * Among some code paths that ask an yes/no question, only one place
-   gave a prompt that looked different from the others, which has been
-   updated to match what the others create.
-   (merge 0fc8ed154c km/help-prompt-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git log --invert-grep --author=<name>" used to exclude commits
-   written by the given author, but now "--invert-grep" only affects
-   the matches made by the "--grep=<pattern>" option.
-   (merge 794c000267 rs/log-invert-grep-with-headers later to maint).
-
- * "git grep --perl-regexp" failed to match UTF-8 characters with
-   wildcard when the pattern consists only of ASCII letters, which has
-   been corrected.
-   (merge 32e3e8bc55 rs/pcre2-utf later to maint).
-
- * Certain sparse-checkout patterns that are valid in non-cone mode
-   led to segfault in cone mode, which has been corrected.
-
- * Use of certain "git rev-list" options with "git fast-export"
-   created nonsense results (the worst two of which being "--reverse"
-   and "--invert-grep --grep=<foo>").  The use of "--first-parent" is
-   made to behave a bit more sensible than before.
-   (merge 726a228dfb ws/fast-export-with-revision-options later to maint).
-
- * Perf tests were run with end-user's shell, but it has been
-   corrected to use the shell specified by $TEST_SHELL_PATH.
-   (merge 9ccab75608 ja/perf-use-specified-shell later to maint).
-
- * Fix dependency rules to generate hook-list.h header file.
-   (merge d3fd1a6667 ab/makefile-hook-list-dependency-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git stash" by default triggers its "push" action, but its
-   implementation also made "git stash -h" to show short help only for
-   "git stash push", which has been corrected.
-   (merge ca7990cea5 ab/do-not-limit-stash-help-to-push later to maint).
-
- * "git apply --3way" bypasses the attempt to do a three-way
-   application in more cases to address the regression caused by the
-   recent change to use direct application as a fallback.
-   (merge 34d607032c jz/apply-3-corner-cases later to maint).
-
- * Fix performance-releated bug in "git subtree" (in contrib/).
-   (merge 3ce8888fb4 jl/subtree-check-parents-argument-passing-fix later to maint).
-
- * Extend the guidance to choose the base commit to build your work
-   on, and hint/nudge contributors to read others' changes.
-   (merge fdfae830f8 jc/doc-submitting-patches-choice-of-base later to maint).
-
- * A corner case bug in the ort merge strategy has been corrected.
-   (merge d30126c20d en/merge-ort-renorm-with-rename-delete-conflict-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git stash apply" forgot to attempt restoring untracked files when
-   it failed to restore changes to tracked ones.
-   (merge 71cade5a0b en/stash-df-fix later to maint).
-
- * Calling dynamically loaded functions on Windows has been corrected.
-   (merge 4a9b204920 ma/windows-dynload-fix later to maint).
-
- * Some lockfile code called free() in signal-death code path, which
-   has been corrected.
-   (merge 58d4d7f1c5 ps/lockfile-cleanup-fix later to maint).
-
- * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

-Git 2.36 Release Notes
-======================
-
-Updates since Git 2.35
-----------------------
-
-Backward compatibility warts
-
- * "git name-rev --stdin" has been deprecated and issues a warning
-   when used; use "git name-rev --annotate-stdin" instead.
-
- * "git clone --filter=... --recurse-submodules" only makes the
-   top-level a partial clone, while submodules are fully cloned.  This
-   behaviour is changed to pass the same filter down to the submodules.
-
- * With the fixes for CVE-2022-24765 that are common with versions of
-   Git 2.30.4, 2.31.3, 2.32.2, 2.33.3, 2.34.3, and 2.35.3, Git has
-   been taught not to recognise repositories owned by other users, in
-   order to avoid getting affected by their config files and hooks.
-   You can list the path to the safe/trusted repositories that may be
-   owned by others on a multi-valued configuration variable
-   `safe.directory` to override this behaviour, or use '*' to declare
-   that you trust anything.
-
-
-Note to those who build from the source
-
- * Since Git 2.31, our source assumed that the compiler you use to
-   build Git supports variadic macros, with an easy-to-use escape
-   hatch to allow compilation without variadic macros with an request
-   to report that you had to use the escape hatch to the list.
-   Because we haven't heard from anybody who actually needed to use
-   the escape hatch, it has been removed, making support of variadic
-   macros a hard requirement.
-
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * Assorted updates to "git cat-file", especially "-h".
-
- * The command line completion (in contrib/) learns to complete
-   arguments to give to "git sparse-checkout" command.
-
- * "git log --remerge-diff" shows the difference from mechanical merge
-   result and the result that is actually recorded in a merge commit.
-
- * "git log" and friends learned an option --exclude-first-parent-only
-   to propagate UNINTERESTING bit down only along the first-parent
-   chain, just like --first-parent option shows commits that lack the
-   UNINTERESTING bit only along the first-parent chain.
-
- * The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to
-   complete all Git subcommands, including the ones that are normally
-   hidden, when GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS is used.
-
- * "git branch" learned the "--recurse-submodules" option.
-
- * A user can forget to make a script file executable before giving
-   it to "git bisect run".  In such a case, all tests will exit with
-   126 or 127 error codes, even on revisions that are marked as good.
-   Try to recognize this situation and stop iteration early.
-
- * When "index-pack" dies due to incoming data exceeding the maximum
-   allowed input size, include the value of the limit in the error
-   message.
-
- * The error message given by "git switch HEAD~4" has been clarified
-   to suggest the "--detach" option that is required.
-
- * In sparse-checkouts, files mis-marked as missing from the working tree
-   could lead to later problems.  Such files were hard to discover, and
-   harder to correct.  Automatically detecting and correcting the marking
-   of such files has been added to avoid these problems.
-
- * "git cat-file" learns "--batch-command" mode, which is a more
-   flexible interface than the existing "--batch" or "--batch-check"
-   modes, to allow different kinds of inquiries made.
-
- * The level of verbose output from the ort backend during inner merge
-   has been aligned to that of the recursive backend.
-
- * "git remote rename A B", depending on the number of remote-tracking
-   refs involved, takes long time renaming them.  The command has been
-   taught to show progress bar while making the user wait.
-
- * Bundle file format gets extended to allow a partial bundle,
-   filtered by similar criteria you would give when making a
-   partial/lazy clone.
-
- * A new built-in userdiff driver for kotlin has been added.
-
- * "git repack" learned a new configuration to disable triggering of
-   age-old "update-server-info" command, which is rarely useful these
-   days.
-
- * "git stash" does not allow subcommands it internally runs as its
-   implementation detail, except for "git reset", to emit messages;
-   now "git reset" part has also been squelched.
-
- * "git ls-tree" learns "--oid-only" option, similar to "--name-only",
-   and more generalized "--format" option.
-
- * "git fetch --refetch" learned to fetch everything without telling
-   the other side what we already have, which is useful when you
-   cannot trust what you have in the local object store.
-
- * "git branch" gives hint when branch tracking cannot be established
-   because fetch refspecs from multiple remote repositories overlap.
-
- * "git worktree list --porcelain" did not c-quote pathnames and lock
-   reasons with unsafe bytes correctly, which is worked around by
-   introducing NUL terminated output format with "-z".
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * "git apply" (ab)used the util pointer of the string-list to keep
-   track of how each symbolic link needs to be handled, which has been
-   simplified by using strset.
-
- * Fix a hand-rolled alloca() imitation that may have violated
-   alignment requirement of data being sorted in compatibility
-   implementation of qsort_s() and stable qsort().
-
- * Use the parse-options API in "git reflog" command.
-
- * The conditional inclusion mechanism of configuration files using
-   "[includeIf <condition>]" learns to base its decision on the
-   URL of the remote repository the repository interacts with.
-   (merge 399b198489 jt/conditional-config-on-remote-url later to maint).
-
- * "git name-rev --stdin" does not behave like usual "--stdin" at
-   all.  Start the process of renaming it to "--annotate-stdin".
-   (merge a2585719b3 jc/name-rev-stdin later to maint).
-
- * "git update-index", "git checkout-index", and "git clean" are
-   taught to work better with the sparse checkout feature.
-
- * Use an internal call to reset_head() helper function instead of
-   spawning "git checkout" in "rebase", and update code paths that are
-   involved in the change.
-
- * Messages "ort" merge backend prepares while dealing with conflicted
-   paths were unnecessarily confusing since it did not differentiate
-   inner merges and outer merges.
-
- * Small modernization of the rerere-train script (in contrib/).
-
- * Use designated initializers we started using in mid 2017 in more
-   parts of the codebase that are relatively quiescent.
-
- * Improve failure case behaviour of xdiff library when memory
-   allocation fails.
-
- * General clean-up in reftable implementation, including
-   clarification of the API documentation, tightening the code to
-   honor documented length limit, etc.
-
- * Remove the escape hatch we added when we introduced the weather
-   balloon to use variadic macros unconditionally, to make it official
-   that we now have a hard dependency on the feature.
-
- * Makefile refactoring with a bit of suffixes rule stripping to
-   optimize the runtime overhead.
-
- * "git stash drop" is reimplemented as an internal call to
-   reflog_delete() function, instead of invoking "git reflog delete"
-   via run_command() API.
-
- * Count string_list items in size_t, not "unsigned int".
-
- * The single-key interactive operation used by "git add -p" has been
-   made more robust.
-
- * Remove unneeded <meta http-equiv=content-type...> from gitweb
-   output.
-
- * "git name-rev" learned to use the generation numbers when setting
-   the lower bound of searching commits used to explain the revision,
-   when available, instead of committer time.
-
- * Replace core.fsyncObjectFiles with two new configuration variables,
-   core.fsync and core.fsyncMethod.
-
- * Updates to refs traditionally weren't fsync'ed, but we can
-   configure using core.fsync variable to do so.
-
- * "git reflog" command now uses parse-options API to parse its
-   command line options.
-
-
-Fixes since v2.35
------------------
-
- * "rebase" and "stash" in secondary worktrees are broken in
-   Git 2.35.0, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git pull --rebase" ignored the rebase.autostash configuration
-   variable when the remote history is a descendant of our history,
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge 3013d98d7a pb/pull-rebase-autostash-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git update-index --refresh" has been taught to deal better with
-   racy timestamps (just like "git status" already does).
-   (merge 2ede073fd2 ms/update-index-racy later to maint).
-
- * Avoid tests that are run under GIT_TRACE2 set from failing
-   unnecessarily.
-   (merge 944d808e42 js/test-unset-trace2-parents later to maint).
-
- * The merge-ort misbehaved when merge.renameLimit configuration is
-   set too low and failed to find all renames.
-   (merge 9ae39fef7f en/merge-ort-restart-optim-fix later to maint).
-
- * We explain that revs come first before the pathspec among command
-   line arguments, but did not spell out that dashed options come
-   before other args, which has been corrected.
-   (merge c11f95010c tl/doc-cli-options-first later to maint).
-
- * "git add -p" rewritten in C regressed hunk splitting in some cases,
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge 7008ddc645 pw/add-p-hunk-split-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch --negotiate-only" is an internal command used by "git
-   push" to figure out which part of our history is missing from the
-   other side.  It should never recurse into submodules even when
-   fetch.recursesubmodules configuration variable is set, nor it
-   should trigger "gc".  The code has been tightened up to ensure it
-   only does common ancestry discovery and nothing else.
-   (merge de4eaae63a gc/fetch-negotiate-only-early-return later to maint).
-
- * The code path that verifies signatures made with ssh were made to
-   work better on a system with CRLF line endings.
-   (merge caeef01ea7 fs/ssh-signing-crlf later to maint).
-
- * "git sparse-checkout init" failed to write into $GIT_DIR/info
-   directory when the repository was created without one, which has
-   been corrected to auto-create it.
-   (merge 7f44842ac1 jt/sparse-checkout-leading-dir-fix later to maint).
-
- * Cloning from a repository that does not yet have any branches or
-   tags but has other refs resulted in a "remote transport reported
-   error", which has been corrected.
-   (merge dccea605b6 jt/clone-not-quite-empty later to maint).

- * Mark in various places in the code that the sparse index and the
-   split index features are mutually incompatible.

-
- * Update the logic to compute alignment requirement for our mem-pool.

-   temporary filenames.

-
- * Update the contributor-facing documents on proposed log messages.
-   (merge cdba0295b0 jc/doc-log-messages later to maint).
-

-   prune, the command issued error messages but exited with exit
-   status 0, which has been corrected.
-   (merge c9e04d905e tg/fetch-prune-exit-code-fix later to maint).
-
- * Problems identified by Coverity in the reftable code have been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 01033de49f hn/reftable-coverity-fixes later to maint).
-
- * A bug that made multi-pack bitmap and the object order out-of-sync,
-   making the .midx data corrupt, has been fixed.
-   (merge f8b60cf99b tb/midx-bitmap-corruption-fix later to maint).
-
- * The build procedure has been taught to notice older version of zlib
-   and enable our replacement uncompress2() automatically.

-

-
- * "git diff --diff-filter=aR" is now parsed correctly.
-   (merge 75408ca949 js/diff-filter-negation-fix later to maint).
-
- * When "git subtree" wants to create a merge, it used "git merge" and
-   let it be affected by end-user's "merge.ff" configuration, which
-   has been corrected.
-   (merge 9158a3564a tk/subtree-merge-not-ff-only later to maint).
-
- * Unlike "git apply", "git patch-id" did not handle patches with

-   has been corrected.
-   (merge 757e75c81e jz/patch-id-hunk-header-parsing-fix later to maint).
-
- * "receive-pack" checks if it will do any ref updates (various
-   conditions could reject a push) before received objects are taken
-   out of the temporary directory used for quarantine purposes, so
-   that a push that is known-to-fail will not leave crufts that a
-   future "gc" needs to clean up.
-   (merge 5407764069 cb/clear-quarantine-early-on-all-ref-update-errors later to maint).
-
- * When there is no object to write .bitmap file for, "git
-   multi-pack-index" triggered an error, instead of just skipping,
-   which has been corrected.
-   (merge eb57277ba3 tb/midx-no-bitmap-for-no-objects later to maint).

-   (merge 87ad07d735 js/short-help-outside-repo-fix later to maint).
-
- * "working tree" and "per-worktree ref" were in glossary, but

-
- * Test modernization.
-   (merge d4fe066e4b sy/t0001-use-path-is-helper later to maint).
-
- * "git log --graph --graph" used to leak a graph structure, and there
-   was no way to countermand "--graph" that appear earlier on the
-   command line.  A "--no-graph" option has been added and resource
-   leakage has been plugged.
-
- * Error output given in response to an ambiguous object name has been
-   improved.
-   (merge 3a73c1dfaf ab/ambiguous-object-name later to maint).
-
- * "git sparse-checkout" wants to work with per-worktree configuration,
-   but did not work well in a worktree attached to a bare repository.
-   (merge 3ce1138272 ds/sparse-checkout-requires-per-worktree-config later to maint).
-
- * Setting core.untrackedCache to true failed to add the untracked
-   cache extension to the index.

-   (merge e8d56ca863 tb/coc-plc-update later to maint).
-

-   recorded the last level component of the branch name, which has
-   been corrected.
-
- * Check the return value from parse_tree_indirect() to turn segfaults
-   into calls to die().
-   (merge 8d2eaf649a gc/parse-tree-indirect-errors later to maint).
-
- * Newer version of GPGSM changed its output in a backward
-   incompatible way to break our code that parses its output.  It also
-   added more processes our tests need to kill when cleaning up.
-   Adjustments have been made to accommodate these changes.
-   (merge b0b70d54c4 fs/gpgsm-update later to maint).
-
- * The untracked cache newly computed weren't written back to the

-
- * The method to trigger malloc check used in our tests no longer work
-   with newer versions of glibc.
-   (merge baedc59543 ep/test-malloc-check-with-glibc-2.34 later to maint).
-
- * When "git fetch --recurse-submodules" grabbed submodule commits
-   that would be needed to recursively check out newly fetched commits
-   in the superproject, it only paid attention to submodules that are
-   in the current checkout of the superproject.  We now do so for all
-   submodules that have been run "git submodule init" on.
-
- * "git rebase $base $non_branch_commit", when $base is an ancestor or
-   the $non_branch_commit, modified the current branch, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * When "shallow" information is updated, we forgot to update the
-   in-core equivalent, which has been corrected.
-
- * When creating a loose object file, we didn't report the exact
-   filename of the file we failed to fsync, even though the
-   information was readily available, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git am" can read from the standard input when no mailbox is given
-   on the command line, but the end-user gets no indication when it
-   happens, making Git appear stuck.
-   (merge 7b20af6a06 jc/mailsplit-warn-on-tty later to maint).
-
- * "git mv" failed to refresh the cached stat information for the
-   entry it moved.

-Git v2.36.1 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-Fixes since v2.36
------------------
-
- * "git submodule update" without pathspec should silently skip an
-   uninitialized submodule, but it started to become noisy by mistake.
-
- * "diff-tree --stdin" has been broken for about a year, but 2.36
-   release broke it even worse by breaking running the command with
-   <pathspec>, which in turn broke "gitk" and got noticed.  This has
-   been corrected by aligning its behaviour to that of "log".
-
- * Regression fix for 2.36 where "git name-rev" started to sometimes
-   reference strings after they are freed.
-
- * "git show <commit1> <commit2>... -- <pathspec>" lost the pathspec
-   when showing the second and subsequent commits, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * "git fast-export -- <pathspec>" lost the pathspec when showing the
-   second and subsequent commits, which has been corrected.
-
- * "git format-patch <args> -- <pathspec>" lost the pathspec when
-   showing the second and subsequent commits, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Get rid of a bogus and over-eager coccinelle rule.
-
- * Correct choices of C compilers used in various CI jobs.
-
-Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.

-Git v2.36.2 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-This release merges up the fixes that appear in v2.30.5, v2.31.4,
-v2.32.3, v2.33.4, v2.34.4 and v2.35.4 to address the security
-issue CVE-2022-29187; see the release notes for these versions
-for details.
-
-Apart from that, this maintenance release is primarily to merge down
-updates to the build and CI procedures from the 'master' front, in
-order to ensure that we can cut healthy maintenance releases in the
-future.  It also contains a handful of small and trivially-correct
-bugfixes.
-
-Fixes since v2.36.1
--------------------
-
- * Fixes real problems noticed by gcc 12 and works around false
-   positives.
-
- * Update URL to the gitk repository.
-
- * The "--current" option of "git show-branch" should have been made
-   incompatible with the "--reflog" mode, but this was not enforced,
-   which has been corrected.
-
- * "git archive --add-file=<path>" picked up the raw permission bits
-   from the path and propagated to zip output in some cases, without
-   normalization, which has been corrected (tar output did not have
-   this issue).
-
- * A bit of test framework fixes with a few fixes to issues found by
-   valgrind.
-
- * macOS CI jobs have been occasionally flaky due to tentative version
-   skew between perforce and the homebrew packager.  Instead of
-   failing the whole CI job, just let it skip the p4 tests when this
-   happens.
-
- * The commit summary shown after making a commit is matched to what
-   is given in "git status" not to use the break-rewrite heuristics.
-
- * Avoid problems from interaction between malloc_check and address
-   sanitizer.
-
- * "git rebase --keep-base <upstream> <branch-to-rebase>" computed the
-   commit to rebase onto incorrectly, which has been corrected.
-
- * The path taken by "git multi-pack-index" command from the end user
-   was compared with path internally prepared by the tool withut first
-   normalizing, which lead to duplicated paths not being noticed,
-   which has been corrected.
-
- * "git clone --origin X" leaked piece of memory that held value read
-   from the clone.defaultRemoteName configuration variable, which has
-   been plugged.

-Git v2.37 Release Notes
-=======================
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * "vimdiff[123]" mergetool drivers have been reimplemented with a
-   more generic layout mechanism.
-
- * "git -v" and "git -h" are now understood as "git --version" and
-   "git --help".
-
- * The temporary files fed to external diff command are now generated
-   inside a new temporary directory under the same basename.
-
- * "git log --since=X" will stop traversal upon seeing a commit that
-   is older than X, but there may be commits behind it that is younger
-   than X when the commit was created with a faulty clock.  A new
-   option is added to keep digging without stopping, and instead
-   filter out commits with timestamp older than X.
-
- * "git -c branch.autosetupmerge=simple branch $A $B" will set the $B
-   as $A's upstream only when $A and $B shares the same name, and "git
-   -c push.default=simple" on branch $A would push to update the
-   branch $A at the remote $B came from.  Also more places use the
-   sole remote, if exists, before defaulting to 'origin'.
-
- * A new doc has been added that lists tips for tools to work with
-   Git's codebase.
-
- * "git remote -v" now shows the list-objects-filter used during
-   fetching from the remote, if available.
-
- * With the new http.curloptResolve configuration, the CURLOPT_RESOLVE
-   mechanism that allows cURL based applications to use pre-resolved
-   IP addresses for the requests is exposed to the scripts.
-
- * "git add -i" was rewritten in C some time ago and has been in
-   testing; the reimplementation is now exposed to general public by
-   default.
-
- * Deprecate non-cone mode of the sparse-checkout feature.
-
- * Introduce a filesystem-dependent mechanism to optimize the way the
-   bits for many loose object files are ensured to hit the disk
-   platter.
-
- * The "do not remove the directory the user started Git in" logic,
-   when Git cannot tell where that directory is, is disabled.  Earlier
-   we refused to run in such a case.
-
- * A mechanism to pack unreachable objects into a "cruft pack",
-   instead of ejecting them into loose form to be reclaimed later, has
-   been introduced.
-
- * Update the doctype written in gitweb output to xhtml5.
-
- * The "transfer.credentialsInURL" configuration variable controls what
-   happens when a URL with embedded login credential is used on either
-   "fetch" or "push". Credentials are currently only detected in
-   `remote.<name>.url` config, not `remote.<name>.pushurl`.
-
- * "git revert" learns "--reference" option to use more human-readable
-   reference to the commit it reverts in the message template it
-   prepares for the user.
-
- * Various error messages that talk about the removal of
-   "--preserve-merges" in "rebase" have been strengthened, and "rebase
-   --abort" learned to get out of a state that was left by an earlier
-   use of the option.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * The performance of the "untracked cache" feature has been improved
-   when "--untracked-files=<mode>" and "status.showUntrackedFiles"
-   are combined.
-
- * "git stash" works better with sparse index entries.
-
- * "git show :<path>" learned to work better with the sparse-index
-   feature.
-
- * Introduce and apply coccinelle rule to discourage an explicit
-   comparison between a pointer and NULL, and applies the clean-up to
-   the maintenance track.
-
- * Preliminary code refactoring around transport and bundle code.
-
- * "sparse-checkout" learns to work better with the sparse-index
-   feature.
-
- * A workflow change for translators are being proposed.  git.pot is
-   no longer version controlled and it is local responsibility of
-   translators to generate it.
-
- * Plug the memory leaks from the trickiest API of all, the revision
-   walker.
-
- * Rename .env_array member to .env in the child_process structure.
-
-  * The fsmonitor--daemon handles even more corner cases when
-    watching filesystem events.
-
- * A new bug() and BUG_if_bug() API is introduced to make it easier to
-   uniformly log "detect multiple bugs and abort in the end" pattern.

-   (merge f7400da800 os/fetch-check-not-current-branch later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch --recurse-submodules" from multiple remotes (either from

-
- * With a recent update to refuse access to repositories of other

-   stopped working, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 6b11e3d52e cb/path-owner-check-with-sudo-plus later to maint).
-
- * The tests that ensured merges stop when interfering local changes
-   are present did not make sure that local changes are preserved; now
-   they do.
-   (merge 4b317450ce jc/t6424-failing-merge-preserve-local-changes later to maint).
-
- * Some real problems noticed by gcc 12 have been fixed, while false
-   positives have been worked around.
-
- * Update the version of FreeBSD image used in Cirrus CI.
-   (merge c58bebd4c6 pb/use-freebsd-12.3-in-cirrus-ci later to maint).
-
- * The multi-pack-index code did not protect the packfile it is going
-   to depend on from getting removed while in use, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 4090511e40 tb/midx-race-in-pack-objects later to maint).
-
- * Teach "git repack --geometric" work better with "--keep-pack" and
-   avoid corrupting the repository when packsize limit is used.
-   (merge 66731ff921 tb/geom-repack-with-keep-and-max later to maint).
-
- * The documentation on the interaction between "--add-file" and
-   "--prefix" options of "git archive" has been improved.
-   (merge a75910602a rs/document-archive-prefix later to maint).
-
- * A git subcommand like "git add -p" spawns a separate git process
-   while relaying its command line arguments.  A pathspec with only
-   negative elements was mistakenly passed with an empty string, which
-   has been corrected.
-   (merge b02fdbc80a jc/all-negative-pathspec later to maint).
-
- * With a more targeted workaround in http.c in another topic, we may
-   be able to lift this blanket "GCC12 dangling-pointer warning is
-   broken and unsalvageable" workaround.
-   (merge 419141e495 cb/buggy-gcc-12-workaround later to maint).
-
- * A misconfigured 'branch..remote' led to a bug in configuration
-   parsing.
-   (merge f1dfbd9ee0 gc/zero-length-branch-config-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git -c diff.submodule=log range-diff" did not show anything for
-   submodules that changed in the ranges being compared, and
-   "git -c diff.submodule=diff range-diff" did not work correctly.
-   Fix this by including the "--submodule=short" output
-   unconditionally to be compared.
-
- * In Git 2.36 we revamped the way how hooks are invoked.  One change
-   that is end-user visible is that the output of a hook is no longer
-   directly connected to the standard output of "git" that spawns the
-   hook, which was noticed post release.  This is getting corrected.
-   (merge a082345372 ab/hooks-regression-fix later to maint).
-
- * Updating the graft information invalidates the list of parents of
-   in-core commit objects that used to be in the graft file.
-
- * "git show-ref --heads" (and "--tags") still iterated over all the
-   refs only to discard refs outside the specified area, which has
-   been corrected.
-   (merge c0c9d35e27 tb/show-ref-optim later to maint).
-
- * Remove redundant copying (with index v3 and older) or possible
-   over-reading beyond end of mmapped memory (with index v4) has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge 6d858341d2 zh/read-cache-copy-name-entry-fix later to maint).
-
- * Sample watchman interface hook sometimes failed to produce
-   correctly formatted JSON message, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 134047b500 sn/fsmonitor-missing-clock later to maint).
-
- * Use-after-free (with another forget-to-free) fix.
-   (merge 323822c72b ab/remote-free-fix later to maint).
-
- * Remove a coccinelle rule that is no longer relevant.

-
- * Give _() markings to fatal/warning/usage: labels that are shown in
-   front of these messages.

-   has been corrected.
-
- * mkstemp() emulation on Windows has been improved.

-Git 2.37.3 Release Notes
-========================
-
-This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated on the 'master'
-front since 2.37.2.
-
-Fixes since v2.37.2
--------------------
-
- * The build procedure for Windows that uses CMake has been updated to
-   pick up the shell interpreter from local installation location.
-
- * Conditionally allow building Python interpreter on Windows
-
- * Fix to lstat() emulation on Windows.
-
- * Older gcc with -Wall complains about the universal zero initializer
-   "struct s = { 0 };" idiom, which makes developers' lives
-   inconvenient (as -Werror is enabled by DEVELOPER=YesPlease).  The
-   build procedure has been tweaked to help these compilers.
-
- * Plug memory leaks in the failure code path in the "merge-ort" merge
-   strategy backend.
-
- * Avoid repeatedly running getconf to ask libc version in the test
-   suite, and instead just as it once per script.
-
- * Platform-specific code that determines if a directory is OK to use
-   as a repository has been taught to report more details, especially
-   on Windows.
-
- * "vimdiff3" regression has been corrected.
-
- * "git fsck" reads mode from tree objects but canonicalizes the mode
-   before passing it to the logic to check object sanity, which has
-   hid broken tree objects from the checking logic.  This has been
-   corrected, but to help exiting projects with broken tree objects
-   that they cannot fix retroactively, the severity of anomalies this
-   code detects has been demoted to "info" for now.

-Git 2.37.4 Release Notes
-========================
-
-This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated on the 'master'
-front since 2.37.3, and also includes the same security fixes as in
-v2.30.6.
-
-Fixes since v2.37.3
--------------------
-
- * 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.
-
-   Credit for finding CVE-2022-39253 goes to Cory Snider of Mirantis.
-   The fix was authored by Taylor Blau, with help from Johannes
-   Schindelin.
-
- * 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-2022-39260 goes to Kevin Backhouse of
-   GitHub. The fix was authored by Kevin Backhouse, Jeff King, and
-   Taylor Blau.
-
- * An earlier optimization discarded a tree-object buffer that is
-   still in use, which has been corrected.
-
- * Fix deadlocks between main Git process and subprocess spawned via
-   the pipe_command() API, that can kill "git add -p" that was
-   reimplemented in C recently.
-
- * xcalloc(), imitating calloc(), takes "number of elements of the
-   array", and "size of a single element", in this order.  A call that
-   does not follow this ordering has been corrected.
-
- * The preload-index codepath made copies of pathspec to give to
-   multiple threads, which were left leaked.
-
- * Update the version of Ubuntu used for GitHub Actions CI from 18.04
-   to 22.04.
-
- * The auto-stashed local changes created by "git merge --autostash"
-   was mixed into a conflicted state left in the working tree, which
-   has been corrected.

-Also contains other minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.

-Git v2.38 Release Notes
-=======================
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * "git remote show [-n] frotz" now pays attention to negative
-   pathspec.
-
- * "git push" sometimes performs poorly when reachability bitmaps are
-   used, even in a repository where other operations are helped by
-   bitmaps.  The push.useBitmaps configuration variable is introduced
-   to allow disabling use of reachability bitmaps only for "git push".
-
- * "git grep -m<max-hits>" is a way to limit the hits shown per file.
-
- * "git merge-tree" learned a new mode where it takes two commits and
-   computes a tree that would result in the merge commit, if the
-   histories leading to these two commits were to be merged.
-
- * "git mv A B" in a sparsely populated working tree can be asked to
-   move a path between directories that are "in cone" (i.e. expected
-   to be materialized in the working tree) and "out of cone"
-   (i.e. expected to be hidden).  The handling of such cases has been
-   improved.
-
- * Earlier, HTTP transport clients learned to tell the server side
-   what locale they are in by sending Accept-Language HTTP header, but
-   this was done only for some requests but not others.
-
- * Introduce a safe.barerepository configuration variable that
-   allows users to forbid discovery of bare repositories.
-
- * Various messages that come from the pack-bitmap codepaths have been
-   tweaked.
-
- * "git rebase -i" learns to update branches whose tip appear in the
-   rebased range with "--update-refs" option.
-
- * "git ls-files" learns the "--format" option to tweak its output.
-
- * "git cat-file" learned an option to use the mailmap when showing
-   commit and tag objects.
-
- * When "git merge" finds that it cannot perform a merge, it should
-   restore the working tree to the state before the command was
-   initiated, but in some corner cases it didn't.
-
- * Operating modes like "--batch" of "git cat-file" command learned to
-   take NUL-terminated input, instead of one-item-per-line.
-
- * "git rm" has become more aware of the sparse-index feature.
-
- * "git rev-list --disk-usage" learned to take an optional value
-   "human" to show the reported value in human-readable format, like
-   "3.40MiB".
-
- * The "diagnose" feature to create a zip archive for diagnostic
-   material has been lifted from "scalar" and made into a feature of
-   "git bugreport".
-
- * The namespaces used by "log --decorate" from "refs/" hierarchy by
-   default has been tightened.
-
- * "git rev-list --ancestry-path=C A..B" is a natural extension of
-   "git rev-list A..B"; instead of choosing a subset of A..B to those
-   that have ancestry relationship with A, it lets a subset with
-   ancestry relationship with C.
-
- * "scalar" now enables built-in fsmonitor on enlisted repositories,
-   when able.
-
- * The bash prompt (in contrib/) learned to optionally indicate when
-   the index is unmerged.
-
- * "git clone" command learned the "--bundle-uri" option to coordinate
-   with hosting sites the use of pre-prepared bundle files.
-
- * "git range-diff" learned to honor pathspec argument if given.
-
- * "git format-patch --from=<ident>" can be told to add an in-body
-   "From:" line even for commits that are authored by the given
-   <ident> with "--force-in-body-from" option.
-
- * The built-in fsmonitor refuses to work on a network mounted
-   repositories; a configuration knob for users to override this has
-   been introduced.
-
- * The "scalar" addition from Microsoft is now part of the core Git
-   installation.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * Collection of what is referenced by objects in promisor packs have
-   been optimized to inspect these objects in the in-pack order.
-
- * Introduce a helper to see if a branch is already being worked on
-   (hence should not be newly checked out in a working tree), which
-   performs much better than the existing find_shared_symref() to
-   replace many uses of the latter.
-
- * Teach "git archive" to (optionally and then by default) avoid
-   spawning an external "gzip" process when creating ".tar.gz" (and
-   ".tgz") archives.
-
- * Allow large objects read from a packstream to be streamed into a
-   loose object file straight, without having to keep it in-core as a
-   whole.
-
- * Further preparation to turn git-submodule.sh into a builtin
-   continues.
-
- * Apply Coccinelle rule to turn raw memmove() into MOVE_ARRAY() cpp
-   macro, which would improve maintainability and readability.
-
- * Teach "make all" to build gitweb as well.
-
- * Tweak tests so that they still work when the "git init" template
-   did not create .git/info directory.
-
- * Add Coccinelle rules to detect the pattern of initializing and then
-   finalizing a structure without using it in between at all, which
-   happens after code restructuring and the compilers fail to
-   recognize as an unused variable.
-
- * The code to convert between GPG trust level strings and internal
-   constants we use to represent them have been cleaned up.
-
- * Support for libnettle as SHA256 implementation has been added.
-
- * The way "git multi-pack" uses parse-options API has been improved.
-
- * A Coccinelle rule (in contrib/) to encourage use of COPY_ARRAY
-   macro has been improved.
-
- * API tweak to make it easier to run fuzz testing on commit-graph parser.
-
- * Omit fsync-related trace2 entries when their values are all zero.
-
- * The codepath to write multi-pack index has been taught to release a
-   large chunk of memory that holds an array of objects in the packs,
-   as soon as it is done with the array, to reduce memory consumption.
-
- * Add a level of redirection to array allocation API in xdiff part,
-   to make it easier to share with the libgit2 project.
-
- * "git fetch" client logs the partial clone filter used in the trace2
-   output.
-
- * The "bundle URI" design gets documented.
-
- * The common ancestor negotiation exchange during a "git fetch"
-   session now leaves trace log.
-
- * Test portability improvements.
-   (merge 4d1d843be7 mt/rot13-in-c later to maint).
-
- * The "subcommand" mode is introduced to parse-options API and update
-   the command line parser of Git commands with subcommands.
-
- * The pack bitmap file gained a bitmap-lookup table to speed up
-   locating the necessary bitmap for a given commit.
-
- * The assembly version of SHA-1 implementation for PPC has been
-   removed.
-
- * The server side that responds to "git fetch" and "git clone"
-   request has been optimized by allowing it to send objects in its
-   object store without recomputing and validating the object names.
-
- * Annotate function parameters that are not used (but cannot be
-   removed for structural reasons), to prepare us to later compile
-   with -Wunused warning turned on.
-
- * Share the text used to explain configuration variables used by "git
-   <subcmd>" in "git help <subcmd>" with the text from "git help config".
-
- * "git mv A B" in a sparsely populated working tree can be asked to
-   move a path from a directory that is "in cone" to another directory
-   that is "out of cone".  Handling of such a case has been improved.
-
- * The chainlint script for our tests has been revamped.

- * "git p4" did not handle non-ASCII client name well, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * "rerere-train" script (in contrib/) used to honor commit.gpgSign
-   while recreating the throw-away merges.
-
- * "git checkout" miscounted the paths it updated, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Fix for a bug that makes write-tree to fail to write out a
-   non-existent index as a tree, introduced in 2.37.
-
- * There was a bug in the codepath to upgrade generation information
-   in commit-graph from v1 to v2 format, which has been corrected.
-
- * Gitweb had legacy URL shortener that is specific to the way
-   projects hosted on kernel.org used to (but no longer) work, which
-   has been removed.
-
- * Fix build procedure for Windows that uses CMake so that it can pick
-   up the shell interpreter from local installation location.
-
- * Conditionally allow building Python interpreter on Windows
-
- * Fix to lstat() emulation on Windows.
-
- * Older gcc with -Wall complains about the universal zero initializer
-   "struct s = { 0 };" idiom, which makes developers' lives
-   inconvenient (as -Werror is enabled by DEVELOPER=YesPlease).  The
-   build procedure has been tweaked to help these compilers.
-
- * Plug memory leaks in the failure code path in the "merge-ort" merge
-   strategy backend.
-
- * "git symbolic-ref symref non..sen..se" is now diagnosed as an error.
-
- * A follow-up fix to a fix for a regression in 2.36 around hooks.
-
- * Avoid repeatedly running getconf to ask libc version in the test
-   suite, and instead just as it once per script.
-
- * Platform-specific code that determines if a directory is OK to use
-   as a repository has been taught to report more details, especially
-   on Windows.
-
- * "vimdiff3" regression fix.
-
- * "git fsck" reads mode from tree objects but canonicalizes the mode
-   before passing it to the logic to check object sanity, which has
-   hid broken tree objects from the checking logic.  This has been
-   corrected, but to help existing projects with broken tree objects
-   that they cannot fix retroactively, the severity of anomalies this
-   code detects has been demoted to "info" for now.
-
- * Fixes to sparse index compatibility work for "reset" and "checkout"
-   commands.
-
- * An earlier optimization discarded a tree-object buffer that is
-   still in use, which has been corrected.
-
- * Fix deadlocks between main Git process and subprocess spawned via
-   the pipe_command() API, that can kill "git add -p" that was
-   reimplemented in C recently.
-
- * The sequencer machinery translated messages left in the reflog by
-   mistake, which has been corrected.
-
- * xcalloc(), imitating calloc(), takes "number of elements of the
-   array", and "size of a single element", in this order.  A call that
-   does not follow this ordering has been corrected.
-
- * The preload-index codepath made copies of pathspec to give to
-   multiple threads, which were left leaked.
-
- * Update the version of Ubuntu used for GitHub Actions CI from 18.04
-   to 22.04.
-
- * The auto-stashed local changes created by "git merge --autostash"
-   was mixed into a conflicted state left in the working tree, which
-   has been corrected.
-
- * Multi-pack index got corrupted when preferred pack changed from one
-   pack to another in a certain way, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 99e4d084ff tb/midx-with-changing-preferred-pack-fix later to maint).
-
- * The clean-up of temporary files created via mks_tempfile_dt() was
-   racy and attempted to unlink() the leading directory when signals
-   are involved, which has been corrected.
-   (merge babe2e0559 rs/tempfile-cleanup-race-fix later to maint).
-
- * FreeBSD portability fix for "git maintenance" that spawns "crontab"
-   to schedule tasks.
-   (merge ee69e7884e bc/gc-crontab-fix later to maint).
-
- * Those who use diff-so-fancy as the diff-filter noticed a regression
-   or two in the code that parses the diff output in the built-in
-   version of "add -p", which has been corrected.
-   (merge 0a101676e5 js/add-p-diff-parsing-fix later to maint).
-
- * Segfault fix-up to an earlier fix to the topic to teach "git reset"
-   and "git checkout" work better in a sparse checkout.
-   (merge 037f8ea6d9 vd/sparse-reset-checkout-fixes later to maint).
-
- * "git diff --no-index A B" managed its the pathnames of its two
-   input files rather haphazardly, sometimes leaking them.  The
-   command line argument processing has been straightened out to clean
-   it up.
-   (merge 2b43dd0eb5 rs/diff-no-index-cleanup later to maint).
-
- * "git rev-list --verify-objects" ought to inspect the contents of
-   objects and notice corrupted ones, but it didn't when the commit
-   graph is in use, which has been corrected.
-   (merge b27ccae34b jk/rev-list-verify-objects-fix later to maint).
-
- * More fixes to "add -p"
-   (merge 64ec8efb83 js/builtin-add-p-portability-fix later to maint).
-
- * The parser in the script interface to parse-options in "git
-   rev-parse" has been updated to diagnose a bogus input correctly.
-   (merge f20b9c36d0 ow/rev-parse-parseopt-fix later to maint).
-
- * The code that manages list-object-filter structure, used in partial
-   clones, leaked the instances, which has been plugged.
-   (merge 66eede4a37 jk/plug-list-object-filter-leaks later to maint).
-
- * Fix another UI regression in the reimplemented "add -p".
-   (merge f6f0ee247f rs/add-p-worktree-mode-prompt-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git fetch" over protocol v2 sent an incorrect ref prefix request
-   to the server and made "git pull" with configured fetch refspec
-   that does not cover the remote branch to merge with fail, which has
-   been corrected.
-   (merge 49ca2fba39 jk/proto-v2-ref-prefix-fix later to maint).
-
- * A result from opendir() was leaking in the commit-graph expiration
-   codepath, which has been plugged.
-   (merge 12f1ae5324 ml/commit-graph-expire-dir-leak-fix later to maint).
-
- * Just like we have coding guidelines, we now have guidelines for
-   reviewers.
-   (merge e01b851923 vd/doc-reviewing-guidelines later to maint).
-
- * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
-   (merge 77b9e85c0f vd/fix-perf-tests later to maint).
-   (merge 0682bc43f5 jk/test-crontab-fixes later to maint).

-Git v2.39 Release Notes
-=======================
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-------------------------
-
- * "git grep" learned to expand the sparse-index more lazily and on
-   demand in a sparse checkout.
-
- * By default, use of fsmonitor on a repository on networked
-   filesystem is disabled. Add knobs to make it workable on macOS.
-
- * After checking out a "branch" that is a symbolic-ref that points at
-   another branch, "git symbolic-ref HEAD" reports the underlying
-   branch, not the symbolic-ref the user gave checkout as argument.
-   The command learned the "--no-recurse" option to stop after
-   dereferencing a symbolic-ref only once.
-
- * "git branch --edit-description @{-1}" is now a way to edit branch
-   description of the branch you were on before switching to the
-   current branch.
-
- * "git merge-tree --stdin" is a new way to request a series of merges
-   and report the merge results.
-
- * "git shortlog" learned to group by the "format" string.
-
- * A new "--include-whitespace" option is added to "git patch-id", and
-   existing bugs in the internal patch-id logic that did not match
-   what "git patch-id" produces have been corrected.
-
- * Enable gc.cruftpacks by default for those who opt into
-   feature.experimental setting.
-
- * "git repack" learns to send cruft objects out of the way into
-   packfiles outside the repository.
-
- * 'scalar reconfigure -a' is taught to automatically remove
-   scalar.repo entires which no longer exist.
-
- * Redact headers from cURL's h2h3 module in GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and
-   others.
-
- * 'git maintenance register' is taught to write configuration to an
-   arbitrary path, and 'git for-each-repo' is taught to expand tilde
-   characters in paths.
-
- * When creating new notes, the template used to get a stray empty
-   newline, which has been removed.
-
- * "git receive-pack" used to use all the local refs as the boundary for
-   checking connectivity of the data "git push" sent, but now it uses
-   only the refs that it advertised to the pusher. In a repository with
-   the .hideRefs configuration, this reduces the resources needed to
-   perform the check.
-
- * With '--recurse-submodules=on-demand', all submodules are
-   recursively pushed.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- * With a bit of header twiddling, use the native regexp library on
-   macOS instead of the compat/ one.
-
- * Prepare for GNU [ef]grep that throw warning of their uses.
-
- * Sources related to fuzz testing have been moved down to their own
-   directory.
-
- * Most credential helpers ignored unknown entries in a credential
-   description, but a few died upon seeing them.  The latter were
-   taught to ignore them, too
-
- * "scalar unregister" in a repository that is already been
-   unregistered reported an error.
-
- * Remove error detection from a function that fetches from promisor
-   remotes, and make it die when such a fetch fails to bring all the
-   requested objects, to give an early failure to various operations.
-
- * Update CodingGuidelines to clarify what features to use and avoid
-   in C99.
-
- * Avoid false-positive from LSan whose assumption may be broken with
-   higher optimization levels.
-
- * Enable address and undefined sanitizer tasks at GitHub Actions CI.
-
- * More UNUSED annotation to help using -Wunused option with the
-   compiler.
-   (merge 4b992f0a24 jk/unused-anno-more later to maint).
-
- * Rewrite a deep recursion in the skipping negotiator to use a loop
-   with on-heap prio queue to avoid stack wastage.
-
- * Add documentation for message IDs in fsck error messages.
-
- * Define the logical elements of a "bundle list", data structure to
-   store them in-core, format to transfer them, and code to parse
-   them.
-
- * The role the security mailing list plays in an embargoed release
-   has been documented.
-
- * Two new facilities, "timer" and "counter", are introduced to the
-   trace2 API.
-
- * Code simplification by using strvec_pushf() instead of building an
-   argument in a separate strbuf.
-
- * Make sure generated dependency file is stably sorted to help
-   developers debugging their build issues.
-
- * The glossary entries for "commit-graph file" and "reachability
-   bitmap" have been added.
-
- * Various tests exercising the transfer.credentialsInUrl
-   configuration are taught to avoid making requests which require
-   resolving localhost to reduce CI-flakiness.
-
- * A redundant diagnostic message is dropped from test_path_is_missing().
-
- * Simplify the run-command API.
-
- * Update the actions/github-script dependency in CI to avoid a
-   deprecation warning.
-
- * Progress on being able to initialize a rev_info struct with a
-   macro.
-
- * Add trace2 counters to the region to clear skip worktree bits in a
-   sparse checkout.
-
- * Modernize test script to avoid "test -f" and friends.
-
- * Avoid calling 'cache_tree_update()' when doing so would be
-   redundant.
-
- * Update the credential-cache documentation to provide a more
-   realistic example.
-
- * Makefile comments updates and reordering to clarify knobs used to
-   choose SHA implementations.
-
- * A design document for sparse-checkout's future directions has been
-   added.
-
- * Teach chainlint.pl to annotate the original test definition instead
-   of the token stream.
-
- * "make coccicheck" is time consuming. It has been made to run more
-   incrementally.
-
- * `parse_object()` has been hardened to check for the existence of a
-   suspected blob object.
-
- * The build procedure has been adjusted to GNUmake version 4.4, which
-   made some changes to how pattern rule with multiple targets are
-   handled.
-
-

-
- * Clarify that "the sentence after <area>: prefix does not begin with
-   a capital letter" rule applies only to the commit title.
-
- * "git branch --edit-description" on an unborn branch misleadingly
-   said that no such branch exists, which has been corrected.
-
- * Work around older clang that warns against C99 zero initialization
-   syntax for struct.
-
- * Giving "--invert-grep" and "--all-match" without "--grep" to the
-   "git log" command resulted in an attempt to access grep pattern
-   expression structure that has not been allocated, which has been
-   corrected.
-   (merge db84376f98 ab/grep-simplify-extended-expression later to maint).
-
- * "git diff rev^!" did not show combined diff to go to the rev from
-   its parents.
-   (merge a79c6b6081 rs/diff-caret-bang-with-parents later to maint).
-
- * Allow configuration files in "protected" scopes to include other
-   configuration files.
-   (merge ecec57b3c9 gc/bare-repo-discovery later to maint).
-
- * Give a bit more diversity to macOS CI by using sha1dc in one of the
-   jobs (the other one tests Apple Common Crypto).
-   (merge 1ad5c3df35 jc/ci-osx-with-sha1dc later to maint).
-
- * A bugfix with tracing support in midx codepath
-   (merge e9c3839944 tb/midx-bitmap-selection-fix later to maint).
-
- * When geometric repacking feature is in use together with the
-   --pack-kept-objects option, we lost packs marked with .keep files.
-   (merge 197443e80a tb/save-keep-pack-during-geometric-repack later to maint).

-   consistent.
-
- * When creating a multi-pack bitmap, remove per-pack bitmap files
-   unconditionally as they will never be consulted.
-   (merge 55d902cd61 tb/remove-unused-pack-bitmap later to maint).
-
- * Fix a longstanding syntax error in Git.pm error codepath.
-
- * "git diff --stat" etc. were invented back when everything was ASCII
-   and strlen() was a way to measure the display width of a string;
-   adjust them to compute the display width assuming UTF-8 pathnames.
-   (merge ce8529b2bb tb/diffstat-with-utf8-strwidth later to maint).
-
- * "git branch --edit-description" can exit with status -1 which is
-   not a good practice; it learned to use 1 as everybody else instead.
-
- * "git apply" limits its input to a bit less than 1 GiB.
-
- * Merging a branch with directory renames into a branch that changes
-   the directory to a symlink was mishandled by the ort merge

-
- * A bugfix to "git subtree" in its split and merge features.
-
- * Fix some bugs in the reflog messages when rebasing and changes the
-   reflog messages of "rebase --apply" to match "rebase --merge" with
-   the aim of making the reflog easier to parse.
-
- * "git rebase --keep-base" used to discard the commits that are
-   already cherry-picked to the upstream, even when "keep-base" meant
-   that the base, on top of which the history is being rebuilt, does
-   not yet include these cherry-picked commits.  The --keep-base
-   option now implies --reapply-cherry-picks and --no-fork-point
-   options.
-
- * The way "git repack" created temporary files when it received a
-   signal was prone to deadlocking, which has been corrected.
-
- * Various tests exercising the transfer.credentialsInUrl
-   configuration are taught to avoid making requests which require
-   resolving localhost to reduce CI-flakiness.
-
- * The adjust_shared_perm() helper function learned to refrain from
-   setting the "g+s" bit on directories when it is not necessary.
-
- * "git archive" mistakenly complained twice about a missing
-   executable, which has been corrected.
-
- * Fix a bug where `git branch -d` did not work on an orphaned HEAD.
-
- * `git rebase --update-refs` would delete references when all
-   `update-ref` commands in the sequencer were removed, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * Fix a regression in the bisect-helper which mistakenly treats
-   arguments to the command given to 'git bisect run' as arguments to
-   the helper.
-
- * Correct an error where `git rebase` would mistakenly use a branch or
-   tag named "refs/rewritten/xyz" when missing a rebase label.
-
- * Assorted fixes of parsing end-user input as integers.
-   (merge 14770cf0de pw/config-int-parse-fixes later to maint).
-
- * "git prune" may try to iterate over .git/objects/pack for trash
-   files to remove in it, and loudly fail when the directory is
-   missing, which is not necessary.  The command has been taught to
-   ignore such a failure.
-   (merge 6974765352 ew/prune-with-missing-objects-pack later to maint).
-
- * Add one more candidate directory that may house httpd modules while
-   running tests.
-   (merge 1c7dc23d41 es/locate-httpd-module-location-in-test later to maint).
-
- * A handful of leaks in the line-log machinery have been plugged.
-
- * The format of a line in /proc/cpuinfo that describes a CPU on s390x
-   looked different from everybody else, and the code in chainlint.pl
-   failed to parse it.
-   (merge 1f51b77f4f ah/chainlint-cpuinfo-parse-fix later to maint).

-Git v2.39.3 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-This release is primarily to merge fixes accumulated on the 'master'
-front to prepare for 2.40 release that are still relevant to 2.39.x
-maintenance track.
-
-Fixes since v2.39.2
--------------------
-
- * Stop running win+VS build by default.
-
- * CI updates.  We probably want a clean-up to move the long shell
-   script embedded in yaml file into a separate file, but that can
-   come later.
-
- * Avoid unnecessary builds in CI, with settings configured in
-   ci-config.
-
- * Redefining system functions for a few functions did not follow our
-   usual "implement git_foo() and #define foo(args) git_foo(args)"
-   pattern, which has broken build for some folks.
-
- * Deal with a few deprecation warning from cURL library.

-Git v2.40 Release Notes
-=======================
-
-UI, Workflows & Features
-
- * "merge-tree" learns a new `--merge-base` option.
-
- * "git jump" (in contrib/) learned to present the "quickfix list" to
-   its standard output (instead of letting it consumed by the editor
-   it invokes), and learned to also drive emacs/emacsclient.
-
- * "git var UNKNOWN_VARIABLE" and "git var VARIABLE" with the variable
-   given an empty value used to behave identically.  Now the latter
-   just gives an empty output, while the former still gives an error
-   message.
-
- * Introduce a case insensitive mode to the Bash completion helpers.
-
- * The advice message given by "git status" when it takes long time to
-   enumerate untracked paths has been updated.
-
- * Just like "git var GIT_EDITOR" abstracts the complex logic to
-   choose which editor gets used behind it, "git var" now give support
-   to GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR.
-
- * "git format-patch" learned to honor format.mboxrd even when sending
-   patches to the standard output stream,
-
- * 'cat-file' gains mailmap support for its '--batch-check' and '-s'
-   options.
-
- * Conditionally skip the pre-applypatch and applypatch-msg hooks when
-   applying patches with 'git am'.
-
- * Introduce an optional configuration to allow the trailing hash that
-   protects the index file from bit flipping.
-
- * "git check-attr" learned to take an optional tree-ish to read the
-   .gitattributes file from.
-
- * "scalar" learned to give progress bar.
-
- * "grep -P" learned to use Unicode Character Property to grok
-   character classes when processing \b and \w etc.
-
- * "git rebase" often ignored incompatible options instead of
-   complaining, which has been corrected.
-
- * "scalar" warns but continues when its periodic maintenance
-   feature cannot be enabled.
-
- * The bundle-URI subsystem adds support for creation-token heuristics
-   to help incremental fetches.
-
- * Userdiff regexp update for Java language.
-
-
-Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
-
- * `git bisect` becomes a builtin.
-
- * The pack-bitmap machinery is taught to log the paths of redundant
-   bitmap(s) to trace2 instead of stderr.
-
- * Use the SHA1DC implementation on macOS, just like other platforms,
-   by default.
-
- * Even in a repository with promisor remote, it is useless to
-   attempt to lazily attempt fetching an object that is expected to be
-   commit, because no "filter" mode omits commit objects.  Take
-   advantage of this assumption to fail fast on errors.
-
- * Stop using "git --super-prefix" and narrow the scope of its use to
-   the submodule--helper.
-
- * Stop running win+VS build by default.
-
- * CI updates.  We probably want a clean-up to move the long shell
-   script embedded in yaml file into a separate file, but that can
-   come later.
-
- * Use `git diff --no-index` as a test_cmp on Windows.
-
-   We'd probably need to revisit "do we really want to, and have to,
-   lose CRLF vs LF?" later, at which time we may be able to further
-   clean this up by replacing "git diff --no-index" with "diff -u".
-
- * Avoid unnecessary builds in CI, with settings configured in
-   ci-config.
-
- * Plug leaks in sequencer subsystem and its users.
-
- * In-tree .gitattributes update to match the way we recommend our
-   users to mark a file as text.
-   (merge 1f34e0cd3d po/attributes-text later to maint).
-
- * Finally retire the scripted "git add -p/-i" implementation and have
-   everybody use the one reimplemented in C.
-
-
-Fixes since v2.39
------------------
-
- * Various leak fixes.

-
- * The way the diff machinery prepares the options array for the
-   parse_options API has been refactored to avoid resource leaks.

-   (merge 209d9cb011 pg/diff-stat-unmerged-regression-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git pull -v --recurse-submodules" attempted to pass "-v" down to

-   request and barfed, which has been corrected.
-   (merge 6f65f84766 ss/pull-v-recurse-fix later to maint).
-
- * When given a pattern that matches an empty string at the end of a
-   line, the code to parse the "git diff" line-ranges fell into an
-   infinite loop, which has been corrected.
-
- * Fix the sequence to fsync $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file that forgot to
-   flush its output to the disk..
-
- * Fix to a small regression in 2.38 days.

- * "git diff --relative" did not mix well with "git diff --ext-diff",
-   which has been corrected.
-
- * The logic to see if we are using the "cone" mode by checking the
-   sparsity patterns has been tightened to avoid mistaking a pattern
-   that names a single file as specifying a cone.
-
- * Deal with a few deprecation warning from cURL library.

-
- * Document ORIG_HEAD a bit more.

- * Remove "git env--helper" and demote it to a test-tool subcommand.
-   (merge 4a1baacd46 ab/test-env-helper later to maint).
-
- * Newer regex library macOS stopped enabling GNU-like enhanced BRE,

-   the REG_ENHANCED flag.  "git grep" now can be compiled to do so, to
-   retain the old behaviour.
-
- * Pthread emulation on Win32 leaked thread handle when a thread is
-   joined.
-   (merge 238a9dfe86 sk/win32-close-handle-upon-pthread-join later to maint).
-
- * "git send-email -v 3" used to be expanded to "git send-email
-   --validate 3" when the user meant to pass them down to
-   "format-patch", which has been corrected.
-   (merge 8774aa56ad km/send-email-with-v-reroll-count later to maint).
-
- * Document that "branch -f <branch>" disables only the safety to
-   avoid recreating an existing branch.
-
- * "git fetch <group>", when "<group>" of remotes lists the same
-   remote twice, unnecessarily failed when parallel fetching was
-   enabled, which has been corrected.

-
- * Clarify how "checkout -b/-B" and "git branch [-f]" are similar but

-
- * Remove support for MSys, which now lags way behind MSys2.
-   (merge 2987407f3c hj/remove-msys-support later to maint).
-
- * Fix use of CreateThread() API call made early in the windows
-   start-up code.
-   (merge 592bcab61b sk/winansi-createthread-fix later to maint).
-
- * "git pack-objects" learned to release delta-island bitmap data when
-   it is done using it, saving peak heap memory usage.
-   (merge 647982bb71 ew/free-island-marks later to maint).
-
- * In an environment where dynamically generated code is prohibited to
-   run (e.g. SELinux), failure to JIT pcre patterns is expected.  Fall
-   back to interpreted execution in such a case.
-   (merge 50b6ad55b0 cb/grep-fallback-failing-jit later to maint).

-Reviewing Patches in the Git Project
-====================================
-
-Introduction
-------------
-The Git development community is a widely distributed, diverse, ever-changing
-group of individuals. Asynchronous communication via the Git mailing list poses
-unique challenges when reviewing or discussing patches. This document contains
-some guiding principles and helpful tools you can use to make your reviews both
-more efficient for yourself and more effective for other contributors.
-
-Note that none of the recommendations here are binding or in any way a
-requirement of participation in the Git community. They are provided as a
-resource to supplement your skills as a contributor.
-
-Principles
-----------
-
-Selecting patch(es) to review
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-If you are looking for a patch series in need of review, start by checking
-latest "What's cooking in git.git" email
-(https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqilm1yp3m.fsf@gitster.g/[example]). The "What's
-cooking" emails & replies can be found using the query `s:"What's cooking"` on
-the https://lore.kernel.org/git/[`lore.kernel.org` mailing list archive];
-alternatively, you can find the contents of the "What's cooking" email tracked
-in `whats-cooking.txt` on the `todo` branch of Git. Topics tagged with "Needs
-review" and those in the "[New Topics]" section are typically those that would
-benefit the most from additional review.
-
-Patches can also be searched manually in the mailing list archive using a query
-like `s:"PATCH" -s:"Re:"`. You can browse these results for topics relevant to
-your expertise or interest.
-
-If you've already contributed to Git, you may also be CC'd in another
-contributor's patch series. These are topics where the author feels that your
-attention is warranted. This may be because their patch changes something you
-wrote previously (making you a good judge of whether the new approach does or
-doesn't work), or because you have the expertise to provide an exceptionally
-helpful review. There is no requirement to review these patches but, in the
-spirit of open source collaboration, you should strongly consider doing so.
-
-Reviewing patches
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-While every contributor takes their own approach to reviewing patches, here are
-some general pieces of advice to make your reviews as clear and helpful as
-possible. The advice is broken into two rough categories: high-level reviewing
-guidance, and concrete tips for interacting with patches on the mailing list.
-
-==== High-level guidance
-- Remember to review the content of commit messages for correctness and clarity,
-  in addition to the code change in the patch's diff. The commit message of a
-  patch should accurately and fully explain the code change being made in the
-  diff.
-
-- Reviewing test coverage is an important - but easy to overlook - component of
-  reviews. A patch's changes may be covered by existing tests, or new tests may
-  be introduced to exercise new behavior. Checking out a patch or series locally
-  allows you to manually mutate lines of new & existing tests to verify expected
-  pass/fail behavior. You can use this information to verify proper coverage or
-  to suggest additional tests the author could add.
-
-- When providing a recommendation, be as clear as possible about whether you
-  consider it "blocking" (the code would be broken or otherwise made worse if an
-  issue isn't fixed) or "non-blocking" (the patch could be made better by taking
-  the recommendation, but acceptance of the series does not require it).
-  Non-blocking recommendations can be particularly ambiguous when they are
-  related to - but outside the scope of - a series ("nice-to-have"s), or when
-  they represent only stylistic differences between the author and reviewer.
-
-- When commenting on an issue, try to include suggestions for how the author
-  could fix it. This not only helps the author to understand and fix the issue,
-  it also deepens and improves your understanding of the topic.
-
-- Reviews do not need to exclusively point out problems. Feel free to "think out
-  loud" in your review: describe how you read & understood a complex section of
-  a patch, ask a question about something that confused you, point out something
-  you found exceptionally well-written, etc. In particular, uplifting feedback
-  goes a long way towards encouraging contributors to participate more actively
-  in the Git community.
-
-==== Performing your review
-- Provide your review comments per-patch in a plaintext "Reply-All" email to the
-  relevant patch. Comments should be made inline, immediately below the relevant
-  section(s).
-
-- You may find that the limited context provided in the patch diff is sometimes
-  insufficient for a thorough review. In such cases, you can review patches in
-  your local tree by either applying patches with linkgit:git-am[1] or checking
-  out the associated branch from https://github.com/gitster/git once the series
-  is tracked there.
-
-- Large, complicated patch diffs are sometimes unavoidable, such as when they
-  refactor existing code. If you find such a patch difficult to parse, try
-  reviewing the diff produced with the `--color-moved` and/or
-  `--ignore-space-change` options.
-
-- If a patch is long, you are encouraged to delete parts of it that are
-  unrelated to your review from the email reply. Make sure to leave enough
-  context for readers to understand your comments!
-
-- If you cannot complete a full review of a series all at once, consider letting
-  the author know (on- or off-list) if/when you plan to review the rest of the
-  series.
-
-Completing a review
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Once each patch of a series is reviewed, the author (and/or other contributors)
-may discuss the review(s). This may result in no changes being applied, or the
-author will send a new version of their patch(es).
-
-After a series is rerolled in response to your or others' review, make sure to
-re-review the updates. If you are happy with the state of the patch series,
-explicitly indicate your approval (typically with a reply to the latest
-version's cover letter). Optionally, you can let the author know that they can
-add a "Reviewed-by: <you>" trailer if they resubmit the reviewed patch verbatim
-in a later iteration of the series.
-
-Finally, subsequent "What's cooking" emails may explicitly ask whether a
-reviewed topic is ready for merging to the `next` branch (typically phrased
-"Will merge to \'next\'?"). You can help the maintainer and author by responding
-with a short description of the state of your (and others', if applicable)
-review, including the links to the relevant thread(s).
-
-Terminology
------------
-nit: ::
-	Denotes a small issue that should be fixed, such as a typographical error
-	or mis-alignment of conditions in an `if()` statement.
-
-aside: ::
-optional: ::
-non-blocking: ::
-	Indicates to the reader that the following comment should not block the
-	acceptance of the patch or series. These are typically recommendations
-	related to code organization & style, or musings about topics related to
-	the patch in question, but beyond its scope.
-
-s/<before>/<after>/::
-	Shorthand for "you wrote <before>, but I think you meant <after>," usually
-	for misspellings or other typographical errors. The syntax is a reference
-	to "substitute" command commonly found in Unix tools such as `ed`, `sed`,
-	`vim`, and `perl`.
-
-cover letter::
-	The "Patch 0" of a multi-patch series. This email describes the
-	high-level intent and structure of the patch series to readers on the
-	Git mailing list. It is also where the changelog notes and range-diff of
-	subsequent versions are provided by the author.
-+
-On single-patch submissions, cover letter content is typically not sent as a
-separate email. Instead, it is inserted between the end of the patch's commit
-message (after the `---`) and the beginning of the diff.
-
-#leftoverbits::
-  Used by either an author or a reviewer to describe features or suggested
-  changes that are out-of-scope of a given patch or series, but are relevant
-  to the topic for the sake of discussion.

 === Describe your changes well.
 
-The log message that explains your changes is just as important as the
-changes themselves.  Your code may be clearly written with in-code
-comment to sufficiently explain how it works with the surrounding
-code, but those who need to fix or enhance your code in the future
-will need to know _why_ your code does what it does, for a few
-reasons:
-
-. Your code may be doing something differently from what you wanted it
-  to do.  Writing down what you actually wanted to achieve will help
-  them fix your code and make it do what it should have been doing
-  (also, you often discover your own bugs yourself, while writing the
-  log message to summarize the thought behind it).
-
-. Your code may be doing things that were only necessary for your
-  immediate needs (e.g. "do X to directories" without implementing or
-  even designing what is to be done on files).  Writing down why you
-  excluded what the code does not do will help guide future developers.
-  Writing down "we do X to directories, because directories have
-  characteristic Y" would help them infer "oh, files also have the same
-  characteristic Y, so perhaps doing X to them would also make sense?".
-  Saying "we don't do the same X to files, because ..." will help them
-  decide if the reasoning is sound (in which case they do not waste
