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

+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.
+
+
+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).
+
+
+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 complation for "git send-email" options have been
+ tweaked to make it easier to keep it in sync with the command itself.

+ key.
