+Git 2.7 Release Notes
+=====================
+
+Updates since v2.6
+------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * "git remote" learned "get-url" subcommand to show the URL for a
+ given remote name used for fetching and pushing.
+
+ * There was no way to defeat a configured rebase.autostash variable
+ from the command line, as "git rebase --no-autostash" was missing.
+
+ * "git log --date=local" used to only show the normal (default)
+ format in the local timezone. The command learned to take 'local'
+ as an instruction to use the local timezone with other formats,
+
+ * The refs used during a "git bisect" session is now per-worktree so
+ that independent bisect sessions can be done in different worktrees
+ created with "git worktree add".
+
+ * Users who are too busy to type three extra keystrokes to ask for
+ "git stash show -p" can now set stash.showPatch configuration
+ varible to true to always see the actual patch, not just the list
+ of paths affected with feel for the extent of damage via diffstat.
+
+ * "quiltimport" allows to specify the series file by honoring the
+ $QUILT_SERIES environment and also --series command line option.
+
+ * The use of 'good/bad' in "git bisect" made it confusing to use when
+ hunting for a state change that is not a regression (e.g. bugfix).
+ The command learned 'old/new' and then allows the end user to
+ say e.g. "bisect start --term-old=fast --term-new=slow" to find a
+ performance regression.
+
+ * "git interpret-trailers" can now run outside of a Git repository.
+
+ * "git p4" learned to reencode the pathname it uses to communicate
+ with the p4 depot with a new option.
+
+ * Give progress meter to "git filter-branch".
+
+ * Allow a later "!/abc/def" to override an earlier "/abc" that
+ appears in the same .gitignore file to make it easier to express
+ "everything in /abc directory is ignored, except for ...".
+
+ * Teach "git p4" to send large blobs outside the repository by
+ talking to Git LFS.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * The infrastructure to rewrite "git submodule" in C is being built
+ incrementally. Let's polish these early parts well enough and make
+ them graduate to 'next' and 'master', so that the more involved
+ follow-up can start cooking on a solid ground.
+
+ * Some features from "git tag -l" and "git branch -l" have been made
+ available to "git for-each-ref" so that eventually the unified
+ implementation can be shared across all three.
+
+ * Because "test_when_finished" in our test framework queues the
+ clean-up tasks to be done in a shell variable, it should not be
+ used inside a subshell. Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch
+ such uses, and fix the ones that were found.
+ (merge 0968f12 jk/test-lint-forbid-when-finished-in-subshell later to maint).
+
+ * The debugging infrastructure for pkt-line based communication has
+ been improved to mark the side-band communication specifically.
+ (merge fd89433 jk/async-pkt-line later to maint).
+
+ * Update "git branch" that list existing branches, using the
+ ref-filter API that is shared with "git tag" and "git
+ for-each-ref".
+
+ * The test for various line-ending conversions has been enhanced.
+
+ * A few test scripts around "git p4" have been improved for
+ portability.
+
+ * Many allocations that is manually counted (correctly) that are
+ followed by strcpy/sprintf have been replaced with a less error
+ prone constructs such as xstrfmt.
+
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.6
+----------------
+
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.6 in the maintenance
+track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
+notes for details).
+
+ * Very small number of options take a parameter that is optional
+ (which is not a great UI element as they can only appear at the end
+ of the command line). Add notice to documentation of each and
+ every one of them.
+ (merge 2b594bf mm/keyid-docs later to maint).
+
+ * "git blame --first-parent v1.0..v2.0" was not rejected but did not
+ limit the blame to commits on the first parent chain.
+ (merge 95a4fb0 jk/blame-first-parent later to maint).
+
+ * "git subtree" (in contrib/) now can take whitespaces in the
+ pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of the
+ directory that the repository is in. (merge 5b6ab38
+ as/subtree-with-spaces later to maint).
+
+ * The ssh transport, just like any other transport over the network,
+ did not clear GIT_* environment variables, but it is possible to
+ use SendEnv and AcceptEnv to leak them to the remote invocation of
+ Git, which is not a good idea at all. Explicitly clear them just
+ like we do for the local transport.
+ (merge a48b409 jk/connect-clear-env later to maint).
+
+ * Correct "git p4 --detect-labels" so that it does not fail to create
+ a tag that points at a commit that is also being imported.
+ (merge b43702a ld/p4-import-labels later to maint).
+
+ * The Makefile always runs the library archiver with hardcoded "crs"
+ options, which was inconvenient for exotic platforms on which
+ people want to use programs with totally different set of command
+ line options.
+ (merge ac179b4 jw/make-arflags-customizable later to maint).
+
+ * Customization to change the behaviour with "make -w" and "make -s"
+ in our Makefile was broken when they were used together.
+ (merge ef49e05 jk/make-findstring-makeflags-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Allocation related functions and stdio are unsafe things to call
+ inside a signal handler, and indeed killing the pager can cause
+ glibc to deadlock waiting on allocation mutex as our signal handler
+ tries to free() some data structures in wait_for_pager(). Reduce
+ these unsafe calls.
+ (merge 507d780 ti/glibc-stdio-mutex-from-signal-handler later to maint).
+
+ * The way how --ref/--notes to specify the notes tree reference are
+ DWIMmed was not clearly documented.
+ (merge e14c92e jk/notes-dwim-doc later to maint).
+
+ * "git gc" used to barf when a symbolic ref has gone dangling
+ (e.g. the branch that used to be your upstream's default when you
+ cloned from it is now gone, and you did "fetch --prune").
+ (merge 14886b4 js/gc-with-stale-symref later to maint).
+
+ * "git clone --dissociate" runs a big "git repack" process at the
+ end, and it helps to close file descriptors that are open on the
+ packs and their idx files before doing so on filesystems that
+ cannot remove a file that is still open.
+ (merge 786b150 js/clone-dissociate later to maint).
+
+ * Description of the "log.follow" configuration variable in "git log"
+ documentation is now also copied to "git config" documentation.
+ (merge fd8d07e dt/log-follow-config later to maint).
+
+ * "git rebase -i" had a minor regression recently, which stopped
+ considering a line that begins with an indented '#' in its insn
+ sheet not a comment, which is now fixed.
+ (merge 1db168e gr/rebase-i-drop-warn later to maint).
+
+ * After "git checkout --detach", "git status" reported a fairly
+ useless "HEAD detached at HEAD", instead of saying at which exact
+ commit.
+ (merge 0eb8548 mm/detach-at-HEAD-reflog later to maint).
+
+ * When "git send-email" wanted to talk over Net::SMTP::SSL,
+ Net::Cmd::datasend() did not like to be fed too many bytes at the
+ same time and failed to send messages. Send the payload one line
+ at a time to work around the problem.
+ (merge f60c483 sa/send-email-smtp-batch-data-limit later to maint).
+
+ * When "git am" was rewritten as a built-in, it stopped paying
+ attention to user.signingkey, which was fixed.
+ (merge 434c64d pt/am-builtin later to maint).
+
+ * It was not possible to use a repository-lookalike created by "git
+ worktree add" as a local source of "git clone".
+ (merge d78db84 nd/clone-linked-checkout later to maint).
+
+ * On a case insensitive filesystems, setting GIT_WORK_TREE variable
+ using a random cases that does not agree with what the filesystem
+ thinks confused Git that it wasn't inside the working tree.
+ (merge 63ec5e1 js/icase-wt-detection later to maint).
+
+ * Performance-measurement tests did not work without an installed Git.
+ (merge 31cd128 sb/perf-without-installed-git later to maint).
+
+ * A test script for the HTTP service had a timing dependent bug,
+ which was fixed.
+ (merge 362d8b6 sb/http-flaky-test-fix later to maint).
+
+ * There were some classes of errors that "git fsck" diagnosed to its
+ standard error that did not cause it to exit with non-zero status.
+ (merge 122f76f jc/fsck-dropped-errors later to maint).
+
+ * Work around "git p4" failing when the P4 depot records the contents
+ in UTF-16 without UTF-16 BOM.
+ (merge 1f5f390 ls/p4-translation-failure later to maint).
+
+ * When "git gc --auto" is backgrounded, its diagnosis message is
+ lost. Save it to a file in $GIT_DIR and show it next time the "gc
+ --auto" is run.
+ (merge 329e6e8 nd/gc-auto-background-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The submodule code has been taught to work better with separate
+ work trees created via "git worktree add".
+ (merge 11f9dd7 mk/submodule-gitdir-path later to maint).
+
+ * "git gc" is safe to run anytime only because it has the built-in
+ grace period to protect young objects. In order to run with no
+ grace period, the user must make sure that the repository is
+ quiescent.
+ (merge fae1a90 jc/doc-gc-prune-now later to maint).
+
+ * A recent "filter-branch --msg-filter" broke skipping of the commit
+ object header, which is fixed.
+ (merge a5a4b3f jk/filter-branch-use-of-sed-on-incomplete-line later to maint).
+
+ * The normalize_ceiling_entry() function does not muck with the end
+ of the path it accepts, and the real world callers do rely on that,
+ but a test insisted that the function drops a trailing slash.
+ (merge b2a7123 rd/test-path-utils later to maint).

+ (merge 15ed07d jc/rerere later to maint).

current bisection commit and avoid switching commits at all.
+Alternate terms
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Sometimes you are not looking for the commit that introduced a
+breakage, but rather for a commit that caused a change between some
+other "old" state and "new" state. For example, you might be looking
+for the commit that introduced a particular fix. Or you might be
+looking for the first commit in which the source-code filenames were
+finally all converted to your company's naming standard. Or whatever.
+
+In such cases it can be very confusing to use the terms "good" and
+"bad" to refer to "the state before the change" and "the state after
+the change". So instead, you can use the terms "old" and "new",
+respectively, in place of "good" and "bad". (But note that you cannot
+mix "good" and "bad" with "old" and "new" in a single session.)
+
+In this more general usage, you provide `git bisect` with a "new"
+commit has some property and an "old" commit that doesn't have that
+property. Each time `git bisect` checks out a commit, you test if that
+commit has the property. If it does, mark the commit as "new";
+otherwise, mark it as "old". When the bisection is done, `git bisect`
+will report which commit introduced the property.
+
+To use "old" and "new" instead of "good" and bad, you must run `git
+bisect start` without commits as argument and then run the following
+commands to add the commits:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+git bisect old [<rev>]
+------------------------------------------------
+
+to indicate that a commit was before the sought change, or
+
+------------------------------------------------
+git bisect new [<rev>...]
+------------------------------------------------
+
+to indicate that it was after.
+
+To get a reminder of the currently used terms, use
+
+------------------------------------------------
+git bisect terms
+------------------------------------------------
+
+You can get just the old (respectively new) term with `git bisect term
+--term-old` or `git bisect term --term-good`.
+
+If you would like to use your own terms instead of "bad"/"good" or
+"new"/"old", you can choose any names you like (except existing bisect
+subcommands like `reset`, `start`, ...) by starting the
+bisection using
+
+------------------------------------------------
+git bisect start --term-old <term-old> --term-new <term-new>
+------------------------------------------------
+
+For example, if you are looking for a commit that introduced a
+performance regression, you might use
+
+------------------------------------------------
+git bisect start --term-old fast --term-new slow
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Or if you are looking for the commit that fixed a bug, you might use
+
+------------------------------------------------
+git bisect start --term-new fixed --term-old broken
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Then, use `git bisect <term-old>` and `git bisect <term-new>` instead
+of `git bisect good` and `git bisect bad` to mark commits.

+------------------
+The worktree list command has two output formats. The default format shows the
+details on a single line with columns. For example:

+Porcelain Format
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The porcelain format has a line per attribute. Attributes are listed with a
+label and value separated by a single space. Boolean attributes (like 'bare'
+and 'detached') are listed as a label only, and are only present if and only
+if the value is true. An empty line indicates the end of a worktree. For
