It now requires two -f options for safety.\n\n* \"git fetch/push\" over http transports had two rather grave bugs.\n\n* \"git format-patch --cover-letter\" did not prepare the cover letter file\n  for use with non-ASCII strings when there are the series contributors with\n  non-ASCII names.\n\n* \"git pull origin branch\" and \"git fetch origin && git merge origin/branch\"\n  left different merge messages in the resulting commit.\n\nOther minor documentation updates are included.\n"}]}
