+Git 2.28 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Updates since v2.27
+-------------------
+
+Backward compatibility notes
+
+ * "feature.experimental" configuration variable is to let volunteers
+   easily opt into a set of newer features, which use of the v2
+   transport protocol is now a part of.
+
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * The commands in the "diff" family learned to honor "diff.relative"
+   configuration variable.
+
+ * The check in "git fsck" to ensure that the tree objects are sorted
+   still had corner cases it missed unsorted entries.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * Code optimization for a common case.
+   (merge 8777616e4d an/merge-single-strategy-optim later to maint).
+
+ * We've adopted a convention that any on-stack structure can be
+   initialized to have zero values in all fields with "= { 0 }",
+   even when the first field happens to be a pointer, but sparse
+   complained that a null pointer should be spelled NULL for a long
+   time.  Start using -Wno-universal-initializer option to squelch
+   it (the latest sparse has it on by default).
+
+ * "git log -L..." now takes advantage of the "which paths are touched
+   by this commit?" info stored in the commit-graph system.
+
+ * As FreeBSD is not the only platform whose regexp library reports
+   a REG_ILLSEQ error when fed invalid UTF-8, add logic to detect that
+   automatically and skip the affected tests.
+
+ * "git bugreport" learns to report what shell is in use.
+
+ * Support for GIT_CURL_VERBOSE has been rewritten in terms of
+   GIT_TRACE_CURL.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.27
+-----------------
+
+ * The "--prepare-p4-only" option of "git p4" is supposed to stop
+   after replaying one changeset, but kept going (by mistake?)
+
+ * The error message from "git checkout -b foo -t bar baz" was
+   confusing.
+
+ * Some repositories in the wild have commits that record nonsense
+   committer timezone (e.g. rails.git); "git fast-import" learned an
+   option to pass these nonsense timestamps intact to allow recreating
+   existing repositories as-is.
+   (merge d42a2fb72f en/fast-import-looser-date later to maint).
+
+ * The command line completion script (in contrib/) tried to complete
+   "git stash -p" as if it were "git stash push -p", but it was too
+   aggressive and also affected "git stash show -p", which has been
+   corrected.
+   (merge fffd0cf520 vs/complete-stash-show-p-fix later to maint).
+
+ * On-the-wire protocol v2 easily falls into a deadlock between the
+   remote-curl helper and the fetch-pack process when the server side
+   prematurely throws an error and disconnects.  The communication has
+   been updated to make it more robust.
+
+ * "git checkout -p" did not handle a newly added path at all.
+   (merge 2c8bd8471a js/checkout-p-new-file later to maint).
+
+ * The code to parse "git bisect start" command line was lax in
+   validating the arguments.
+   (merge 4d9005ff5d cb/bisect-helper-parser-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
+   (merge 2c31a7aa44 jx/pkt-line-doc-count-fix later to maint).
+   (merge d63ae31962 cb/t5608-cleanup later to maint).
