+Git v2.1.1 Release Notes
+========================
+
+ * Git 2.0 had a regression where "git fetch" into a shallowly
+ cloned repository from a repository with bitmap object index
+ enabled did not work correctly. This has been corrected.
+
+ * Git 2.0 had a regression which broke (rarely used) "git diff-tree
+ -t". This has been corrected.
+
+ * "git log --pretty/format=" with an empty format string did not
+ mean the more obvious "No output whatsoever" but "Use default
+ format", which was counterintuitive. Now it means "nothing shown
+ for the log message part".
+
+ * "git -c section.var command" and "git -c section.var= command"
+ should pass the configuration differently (the former should be a
+ boolean true, the latter should be an empty string), but they
+ didn't work that way. Now it does.
+
+ * Applying a patch not generated by Git in a subdirectory used to
+ check the whitespace breakage using the attributes for incorrect
+ paths. Also whitespace checks were performed even for paths
+ excluded via "git apply --exclude=<path>" mechanism.
+
+ * "git bundle create" with date-range specification were meant to
+ exclude tags outside the range, but it did not work correctly.
+
+ * "git add x" where x that used to be a directory has become a
+ symbolic link to a directory misbehaved.
+
+ * The prompt script checked $GIT_DIR/ref/stash file to see if there
+ is a stash, which was a no-no.
+
+ * "git checkout -m" did not switch to another branch while carrying
+ the local changes forward when a path was deleted from the index.
+
+ * With sufficiently long refnames, fast-import could have overflown
+ an on-stack buffer.
+
+ * After "pack-refs --prune" packed refs at the top-level, it failed
+ to prune them.
+
+ * "git gc --auto" triggered from "git fetch --quiet" was not quiet.

- Force the rebase even if the current branch is a descendant
