+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.
