+Git v2.10.2 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+Fixes since v2.10.1
+-------------------
+
+ * The code that parses the format parameter of for-each-ref command
+ has seen a micro-optimization.
+
+ * The "graph" API used in "git log --graph" miscounted the number of
+ output columns consumed so far when drawing a padding line, which
+ has been fixed; this did not affect any existing code as nobody
+ tried to write anything after the padding on such a line, though.
+
+ * Almost everybody uses DEFAULT_ABBREV to refer to the default
+ setting for the abbreviation, but "git blame" peeked into
+ underlying variable bypassing the macro for no good reason.
+
+ * Doc update to clarify what "log -3 --reverse" does.
+
+ * An author name, that spelled a backslash-quoted double quote in the
+ human readable part "My \"double quoted\" name", was not unquoted
+ correctly while applying a patch from a piece of e-mail.
+
+ * The original command line syntax for "git merge", which was "git
+ merge <msg> HEAD <parent>...", has been deprecated for quite some
+ time, and "git gui" was the last in-tree user of the syntax. This
+ is finally fixed, so that we can move forward with the deprecation.
+
+ * Codepaths that read from an on-disk loose object were too loose in
+ validating what they are reading is a proper object file and
+ sometimes read past the data they read from the disk, which has
+ been corrected. H/t to Gustavo Grieco for reporting.
+
+ * "git worktree", even though it used the default_abbrev setting that
+ ought to be affected by core.abbrev configuration variable, ignored
+ the variable setting. The command has been taught to read the
+ default set of configuration variables to correct this.
+
+ * A low-level function verify_packfile() was meant to show errors
+ that were detected without dying itself, but under some conditions
+ it didn't and died instead, which has been fixed.
+
+
+Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.

+Git 2.11 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Updates since v2.10
+-------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * "git format-patch --cover-letter HEAD^" to format a single patch
+ with a separate cover letter now numbers the output as [PATCH 0/1]
+ and [PATCH 1/1] by default.
+
+ * An incoming "git push" that attempts to push too many bytes can now
+ be rejected by setting a new configuration variable at the receiving
+ end.
+
+ * "git nosuchcommand --help" said "No manual entry for gitnosuchcommand",
+ which was not intuitive, given that "git nosuchcommand" said "git:
+ 'nosuchcommand' is not a git command".
+
+ * "git clone --resurse-submodules --reference $path $URL" is a way to
+ reduce network transfer cost by borrowing objects in an existing
+ $path repository when cloning the superproject from $URL; it
+ learned to also peek into $path for presense of corresponding
+ repositories of submodules and borrow objects from there when able.
+
+ * The "git diff --submodule={short,log}" mechanism has been enhanced
+ to allow "--submodule=diff" to show the patch between the submodule
+ commits bound to the superproject.
+
+ * Even though "git hash-objects", which is a tool to take an
+ on-filesystem data stream and put it into the Git object store,
+ allowed to perform the "outside-world-to-Git" conversions (e.g.
+ end-of-line conversions and application of the clean-filter), and
+ it had the feature on by default from very early days, its reverse
+ operation "git cat-file", which takes an object from the Git object
+ store and externalize for the consumption by the outside world,
+ lacked an equivalent mechanism to run the "Git-to-outside-world"
+ conversion. The command learned the "--filters" option to do so.
+
+ * Output from "git diff" can be made easier to read by selecting
+ which lines are common and which lines are added/deleted
+ intelligently when the lines before and after the changed section
+ are the same. A command line option is added to help with the
+ experiment to find a good heuristics.
+
+ * In some projects, it is common to use "[RFC PATCH]" as the subject
+ prefix for a patch meant for discussion rather than application. A
+ new option "--rfc" was a short-hand for "--subject-prefix=RFC PATCH"
+ to help the participants of such projects.
+
+ * "git add --chmod=+x <pathspec>" added recently only toggled the
+ executable bit for paths that are either new or modified. This has
+ been corrected to flip the executable bit for all paths that match
+ the given pathspec.
+
+ * When "git format-patch --stdout" output is placed as an in-body
+ header and it uses the RFC2822 header folding, "git am" failed to
+ put the header line back into a single logical line. The
+ underlying "git mailinfo" was taught to handle this properly.
+
+ * "gitweb" can spawn "highlight" to show blob contents with
+ (programming) language-specific syntax highlighting, but only
+ when the language is known. "highlight" can however be told
+ to make the guess itself by giving it "--force" option, which
+ has been enabled.
+
+ * "git gui" l10n to Portuguese.
+
+ * When given an abbreviated object name that is not (or more
+ realistically, "no longer") unique, we gave a fatal error
+ "ambiguous argument". This error is now accompanied by hints that
+ lists the objects that begins with the given prefix. During the
+ course of development of this new feature, numerous minor bugs were
+ uncovered and corrected, the most notable one of which is that we
+ gave "short SHA1 xxxx is ambiguous." twice without good reason.
+
+ * "git log rev^..rev" is an often-used revision range specification
+ to show what was done on a side branch merged at rev. This has
+ gained a short-hand "rev^-1". In general "rev^-$n" is the same as
+ "^rev^$n rev", i.e. what has happened on other branches while the
+ history leading to nth parent was looking the other way.
+
+ * In recent versions of cURL, GSSAPI credential delegation is
+ disabled by default due to CVE-2011-2192; introduce a configuration
+ to selectively allow enabling this.
+ (merge 26a7b23429 ps/http-gssapi-cred-delegation later to maint).
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * The delta-base-cache mechanism has been a key to the performance in
+ a repository with a tightly packed packfile, but it did not scale
+ well even with a larger value of core.deltaBaseCacheLimit.
+
+ * Enhance "git status --porcelain" output by collecting more data on
+ the state of the index and the working tree files, which may
+ further be used to teach git-prompt (in contrib/) to make fewer
+ calls to git.
+
+ * Extract a small helper out of the function that reads the authors
+ script file "git am" internally uses.
+ (merge a77598e jc/am-read-author-file later to maint).
+
+ * Lifts calls to exit(2) and die() higher in the callchain in
+ sequencer.c files so that more helper functions in it can be used
+ by callers that want to handle error conditions themselves.
+
+ * "git am" has been taught to make an internal call to "git apply"'s
+ innards without spawning the latter as a separate process.
+
+ * The ref-store abstraction was introduced to the refs API so that we
+ can plug in different backends to store references.
+
+ * The "unsigned char sha1[20]" to "struct object_id" conversion
+ continues. Notable changes in this round includes that ce->sha1,
+ i.e. the object name recorded in the cache_entry, turns into an
+ object_id.
+
+ * JGit can show a fake ref "capabilities^{}" to "git fetch" when it
+ does not advertise any refs, but "git fetch" was not prepared to
+ see such an advertisement. When the other side disconnects without
+ giving any ref advertisement, we used to say "there may not be a
+ repository at that URL", but we may have seen other advertisement
+ like "shallow" and ".have" in which case we definitely know that a
+ repository is there. The code to detect this case has also been
+ updated.
+
+ * Some codepaths in "git pack-objects" were not ready to use an
+ existing pack bitmap; now they are and as the result they have
+ become faster.
+
+ * The codepath in "git fsck" to detect malformed tree objects has
+ been updated not to die but keep going after detecting them.
+
+ * We call "qsort(array, nelem, sizeof(array[0]), fn)", and most of
+ the time third parameter is redundant. A new QSORT() macro lets us
+ omit it.
+
+ * "git pack-objects" in a repository with many packfiles used to
+ spend a lot of time looking for/at objects in them; the accesses to
+ the packfiles are now optimized by checking the most-recently-used
+ packfile first.
+ (merge c9af708b1a jk/pack-objects-optim-mru later to maint).
+
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.10
+-----------------
+
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.9 in the maintenance
+track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
+notes for details).
+
+ * Clarify various ways to specify the "revision ranges" in the
+ documentation.
+
+ * "diff-highlight" script (in contrib/) learned to work better with
+ "git log -p --graph" output.
+
+ * The test framework left the number of tests and success/failure
+ count in the t/test-results directory, keyed by the name of the
+ test script plus the process ID. The latter however turned out not
+ to serve any useful purpose. The process ID part of the filename
+ has been removed.
+
+ * Having a submodule whose ".git" repository is somehow corrupt
+ caused a few commands that recurse into submodules loop forever.
+
+ * "git symbolic-ref -d HEAD" happily removes the symbolic ref, but
+ the resulting repository becomes an invalid one. Teach the command
+ to forbid removal of HEAD.
+
+ * A test spawned a short-lived background process, which sometimes
+ prevented the test directory from getting removed at the end of the
+ script on some platforms.
+
+ * Update a few tests that used to use GIT_CURL_VERBOSE to use the
+ newer GIT_TRACE_CURL.
+
+ * "git pack-objects --include-tag" was taught that when we know that
+ we are sending an object C, we want a tag B that directly points at
+ C but also a tag A that points at the tag B. We used to miss the
+ intermediate tag B in some cases.
+
+ * Update Japanese translation for "git-gui".
+
+ * "git fetch http::/site/path" did not die correctly and segfaulted
+ instead.
+
+ * "git commit-tree" stopped reading commit.gpgsign configuration
+ variable that was meant for Porcelain "git commit" in Git 2.9; we
+ forgot to update "git gui" to look at the configuration to match
+ this change.
+
+ * "git add --chmod=+x" added recently lacked documentation, which has
+ been corrected.
+
+ * "git log --cherry-pick" used to include merge commits as candidates
+ to be matched up with other commits, resulting a lot of wasted time.
+ The patch-id generation logic has been updated to ignore merges to
+ avoid the wastage.
+
+ * The http transport (with curl-multi option, which is the default
+ these days) failed to remove curl-easy handle from a curlm session,
+ which led to unnecessary API failures.
+
+ * There were numerous corner cases in which the configuration files
+ are read and used or not read at all depending on the directory a
+ Git command was run, leading to inconsistent behaviour. The code
+ to set-up repository access at the beginning of a Git process has
+ been updated to fix them.
+ (merge 4d0efa1 jk/setup-sequence-update later to maint).
+
+ * "git diff -W" output needs to extend the context backward to
+ include the header line of the current function and also forward to
+ include the body of the entire current function up to the header
+ line of the next one. This process may have to merge to adjacent
+ hunks, but the code forgot to do so in some cases.
+ (merge 45d2f75 rs/xdiff-merge-overlapping-hunks-for-W-context later to maint).
+
+ * Performance tests done via "t/perf" did not use the same set of
+ build configuration if the user relied on autoconf generated
+ configuration.
+
+ * "git format-patch --base=..." feature that was recently added
+ showed the base commit information after "-- " e-mail signature
+ line, which turned out to be inconvenient. The base information
+ has been moved above the signature line.
+
+ * More i18n.
+ (merge 43073f8 va/i18n later to maint).
+
+ * Even when "git pull --rebase=preserve" (and the underlying "git
+ rebase --preserve") can complete without creating any new commit
+ (i.e. fast-forwards), it still insisted on having a usable ident
+ information (read: user.email is set correctly), which was less
+ than nice. As the underlying commands used inside "git rebase"
+ would fail with a more meaningful error message and advice text
+ when the bogus ident matters, this extra check was removed.
+
+ * "git gc --aggressive" used to limit the delta-chain length to 250,
+ which is way too deep for gaining additional space savings and is
+ detrimental for runtime performance. The limit has been reduced to
+ 50.
+
+ * Documentation for individual configuration variables to control use
+ of color (like `color.grep`) said that their default value is
+ 'false', instead of saying their default is taken from `color.ui`.
+ When we updated the default value for color.ui from 'false' to
+ 'auto' quite a while ago, all of them broke. This has been
+ corrected.
+
+ * The pretty-format specifier "%C(auto)" used by the "log" family of
+ commands to enable coloring of the output is taught to also issue a
+ color-reset sequence to the output.
+ (merge c99ad27 rs/c-auto-resets-attributes later to maint).
+
+ * A shell script example in check-ref-format documentation has been
+ fixed.
+
+ * "git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation
+ rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow
+ checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a
+ file 'foo' in the working tree without having to disambiguate.
+ This was poorly documented and the check was incorrect when the
+ command was run from a subdirectory.
+
+ * Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was
+ mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read
+ beyond the end of the mapped region. This was fixed by introducing
+ a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND
+ extension.
+ (merge b7d36ff js/regexec-buf later to maint).
+
+ * The procedure to build Git on Mac OS X for Travis CI hardcoded the
+ internal directory structure we assumed HomeBrew uses, which was a
+ no-no. The procedure has been updated to ask HomeBrew things we
+ need to know to fix this.
+
+ * When "git rebase -i" is given a broken instruction, it told the
+ user to fix it with "--edit-todo", but didn't say what the step
+ after that was (i.e. "--continue").
+
+ * Documentation around tools to import from CVS was fairly outdated.
+
+ * "git clone --recurse-submodules" lost the progress eye-candy in
+ recent update, which has been corrected.
+
+ * A low-level function verify_packfile() was meant to show errors
+ that were detected without dying itself, but under some conditions
+ it didn't and died instead, which has been fixed.
+ (merge a9445d859e jk/verify-packfile-gently later to maint).
+
+ * When "git fetch" tries to find where the history of the repository
+ it runs in has diverged from what the other side has, it has a
+ mechanism to avoid digging too deep into irrelevant side branches.
+ This however did not work well over the "smart-http" transport due
+ to a design bug, which has been fixed.
+ (merge 06b3d386e0 jt/fetch-pack-in-vain-count-with-stateless later to maint).
+
+ * In the codepath that comes up with the hostname to be used in an
+ e-mail when the user didn't tell us, we looked at ai_canonname
+ field in struct addrinfo without making sure it is not NULL first.
+
+ * "git worktree", even though it used the default_abbrev setting that
+ ought to be affected by core.abbrev configuration variable, ignored
+ the variable setting. The command has been taught to read the
+ default set of configuration variables to correct this.
+ (merge d49028e6e7 jc/worktree-config later to maint).
+
+ * "git init" tried to record core.worktree in the repository's
+ 'config' file when GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable was set and
+ it was different from where GIT_DIR appears as ".git" at its top,
+ but the logic was faulty when .git is a "gitdir:" file that points
+ at the real place, causing trouble in working trees that are
+ managed by "git worktree". This has been corrected.
+
+ * Codepaths that read from an on-disk loose object were too loose in
+ validating what they are reading is a proper object file and
+ sometimes read past the data they read from the disk, which has
+ been corrected. H/t to Gustavo Grieco for reporting.
+ (merge d21f842690 jc/verify-loose-object-header later to maint).
+
+ * The original command line syntax for "git merge", which was "git
+ merge <msg> HEAD <parent>...", has been deprecated for quite some
+ time, and "git gui" was the last in-tree user of the syntax. This
+ is finally fixed, so that we can move forward with the deprecation.
+ (merge ff65e796f0 rs/git-gui-use-modern-git-merge-syntax later to maint).
+
+ * An author name, that spelled a backslash-quoted double quote in the
+ human readable part "My \"double quoted\" name", was not unquoted
+ correctly while applying a patch from a piece of e-mail.
+ (merge f357e5de31 kd/mailinfo-quoted-string later to maint).
+
+ * Doc update to clarify what "log -3 --reverse" does.
+ (merge 04be69478f pb/rev-list-reverse-with-count later to maint).
+
+ * Almost everybody uses DEFAULT_ABBREV to refer to the default
+ setting for the abbreviation, but "git blame" peeked into
+ underlying variable bypassing the macro for no good reason.
+ (merge 5293284b4d jc/blame-abbrev later to maint).
+
+ * The "graph" API used in "git log --graph" miscounted the number of
+ output columns consumed so far when drawing a padding line, which
+ has been fixed; this did not affect any existing code as nobody
+ tried to write anything after the padding on such a line, though.
+ (merge 1647793524 jk/graph-padding-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The code that parses the format parameter of for-each-ref command
+ has seen a micro-optimization.
+ (merge e94ce1394e sg/ref-filter-parse-optim later to maint).
+
+ * When we started cURL to talk to imap server when a new enough
+ version of cURL library is available, we forgot to explicitly add
+ imap(s):// before the destination. To some folks, that didn't work
+ and the library tried to make HTTP(s) requests instead.
+ (merge d2d07ab861 ak/curl-imap-send-explicit-scheme later to maint).
+
+ * The ./configure script generated from configure.ac was taught how
+ to detect support of SSL by libcurl better.
+ (merge 924b7eb1c9 dp/autoconf-curl-ssl later to maint).
+
+ * The command-line completion script (in contrib/) learned to
+ complete "git cmd ^mas<HT>" to complete the negative end of
+ reference to "git cmd ^master".
+ (merge 49416ad22a cp/completion-negative-refs later to maint).
+
+ * The existing "git fetch --depth=<n>" option was hard to use
+ correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone
+ deeper. A new option, "--deepen=<n>", has been added to make this
+ easier to use. "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=<date>"
+ and "--shallow-exclude=<tag>" options to make it easier to specify
+ "I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and
+ "Give me only the history since that version".
+ (merge cccf74e2da nd/shallow-deepen later to maint).
+
+ * It is a common mistake to say "git blame --reverse OLD path",
+ expecting that the command line is dwimmed as if asking how lines
+ in path in an old revision OLD have survived up to the current
+ commit.
+ (merge e1d09701a4 jc/blame-reverse later to maint).
+
+ * Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
+ (merge a22ae75 rs/cocci later to maint).
+ (merge 45ccef87b3 rs/copy-array later to maint).

+
+### Branch Headers
+

+
+ Line Notes

+entries. One of three different line formats may be used to describe
+an entry depending on the type of change. Tracked entries are printed
+in an undefined order; parsers should allow for a mixture of the 3
+line types in any order.
+
+Ordinary changed entries have the following format:
+
+ 1 <XY> <sub> <mH> <mI> <mW> <hH> <hI> <path>
+
+Renamed or copied entries have the following format:
+
+ 2 <XY> <sub> <mH> <mI> <mW> <hH> <hI> <X><score> <path><sep><origPath>
+
+ Field Meaning
+ --------------------------------------------------------
+ <XY> A 2 character field containing the staged and
+ unstaged XY values described in the short format,
+ with unchanged indicated by a "." rather than
+ a space.
+ <sub> A 4 character field describing the submodule state.
+ "N..." when the entry is not a submodule.
+ "S<c><m><u>" when the entry is a submodule.
+ <c> is "C" if the commit changed; otherwise ".".
+ <m> is "M" if it has tracked changes; otherwise ".".
+ <u> is "U" if there are untracked changes; otherwise ".".
+ <mH> The octal file mode in HEAD.
+ <mI> The octal file mode in the index.
+ <mW> The octal file mode in the worktree.
+ <hH> The object name in HEAD.
+ <hI> The object name in the index.
+ <X><score> The rename or copy score (denoting the percentage
+ of similarity between the source and target of the
+ move or copy). For example "R100" or "C75".
+ <path> The pathname. In a renamed/copied entry, this
+ is the path in the index and in the working tree.
+ <sep> When the `-z` option is used, the 2 pathnames are separated
+ with a NUL (ASCII 0x00) byte; otherwise, a tab (ASCII 0x09)
+ byte separates them.
+ <origPath> The pathname in the commit at HEAD. This is only
+ present in a renamed/copied entry, and tells
+ where the renamed/copied contents came from.
+ --------------------------------------------------------
+
+Unmerged entries have the following format; the first character is
+a "u" to distinguish from ordinary changed entries.
+
+ u <xy> <sub> <m1> <m2> <m3> <mW> <h1> <h2> <h3> <path>

+ <m2> The octal file mode in stage 2.
+ <m3> The octal file mode in stage 3.
+ <mW> The octal file mode in the worktree.
+ <h1> The object name in stage 1.
+ <h2> The object name in stage 2.
+ <h3> The object name in stage 3.
+ <path> The pathname.
+ --------------------------------------------------------
+
+### Other Items
+
+Following the tracked entries (and if requested), a series of
+lines will be printed for untracked and then ignored items
+found in the worktree.
+
+Untracked items have the following format:
+
+ ? <path>
+
+Ignored items have the following format:
+
+ ! <path>
+
+### Pathname Format Notes and -z
+
+When the `-z` option is given, pathnames are printed as is and
+without any quoting and lines are terminated with a NUL (ASCII 0x00)
+byte.
+
+Otherwise, all pathnames will be "C-quoted" if they contain any tab,
+linefeed, double quote, or backslash characters. In C-quoting, these
+characters will be replaced with the corresponding C-style escape
+sequences and the resulting pathname will be double quoted.
