+Git 2.32 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Backward compatibility notes
+----------------------------
+
+ * ".gitattributes", ".gitignore", and ".mailmap" files that are
+   symbolic links are ignored.
+
+
+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.
+
+ * When accessing a server with a URL like https://user:pass@site/, we
+   did not to fall back to the basic authentication with the
+   credential material embedded in the URL after the "Negotiate"
+   authentication failed.  Now we do.
+
+ * "git send-email" learned to honor the core.hooksPath configuration.
+
+
+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.
+
+
+
+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).
+
+ * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
+   (merge f451960708 dl/cat-file-doc-cleanup later to maint).
+   (merge 12604a8d0c sv/t9801-test-path-is-file-cleanup later to maint).
