The command learned to take 'local'\n   as an instruction to use the local timezone with other formats,\n\n * The refs used during a \"git bisect\" session is now per-worktree so\n   that independent bisect sessions can be done in different worktrees\n   created with \"git worktree add\".\n\n * Users who are too busy to type three extra keystrokes to ask for\n   \"git stash show -p\" can now set stash.showPatch configuration\n   variable to true to always see the actual patch, not just the list\n   of paths affected with feel for the extent of damage via diffstat.\n\n * \"quiltimport\" allows to specify the series file by honoring the\n   $QUILT_SERIES environment and also --series command line option.\n\n * The use of 'good/bad' in \"git bisect\" made it confusing to use when\n   hunting for a state change that is not a regression (e.g. bugfix).\n   The command learned 'old/new' and then allows the end user to\n   say e.g. \"bisect start --term-old=fast --term-new=slow\" to find a\n   performance regression.\n\n * \"git interpret-trailers\" can now run outside of a Git repository.\n\n * \"git p4\" learned to reencode the pathname it uses to communicate\n   with the p4 depot with a new option.\n\n * Give progress meter to \"git filter-branch\".\n\n * Allow a later \"!/abc/def\" to override an earlier \"/abc\" that\n   appears in the same .gitignore file to make it easier to express\n   \"everything in /abc directory is ignored, except for ...\".\n\n * Teach \"git p4\" to send large blobs outside the repository by\n   talking to Git LFS.\n\n * Prepare for Git on-disk repository representation to undergo\n   backward incompatible changes by introducing a new repository\n   format version \"1\", with an extension mechanism.\n\n * \"git worktree\" learned a \"list\" subcommand.\n\n * \"git clone --dissociate\" learned that it can be used even when\n   \"--reference\" was not used at the same time.\n\n * \"git blame\" learnt to take \"--first-parent\" and \"--reverse\" at the\n   same time when it makes sense.\n\n * \"git checkout\" did not follow the usual \"--[no-]progress\"\n   convention and implemented only \"--quiet\" that is essentially\n   a superset of \"--no-progress\".  Extend the command to support the\n   usual \"--[no-]progress\".\n\n * The semantics of transfer.hideRefs configuration variable have been\n   extended to work better with the ref \"namespace\" feature that lets\n   you throw unrelated bunches of repositories in a single physical\n   repository and virtually serve them as separate ones.\n\n * send-email config variables whose values are pathnames now go\n   through the ~username/ expansion.\n\n * bash completion learnt to TAB-complete recipient addresses given\n   to send-email.\n\n * The credential-cache daemon can be told to ignore SIGHUP to work\n   around issue when running Git from inside emacs.\n\n * \"git push\" learned new configuration for doing \"--recurse-submodules\"\n   on each push.\n\n * \"format-patch\" has learned a new option to zero-out the commit\n   object name on the mbox \"From \" line.\n\n\nPerformance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.\n\n * The infrastructure to rewrite \"git submodule\" in C is being built\n   incrementally.  Let's polish these early parts well enough and make\n   them graduate to 'next' and 'master', so that the more involved\n   follow-up can start cooking on a solid ground.\n\n * Some features from \"git tag -l\" and \"git branch -l\" have been made\n   available to \"git for-each-ref\" so that eventually the unified\n   implementation can be shared across all three.  The version merged\n   to the 'master' branch earlier had a performance regression in \"tag\n   --contains\", which has since been corrected.\n\n * Because \"test_when_finished\" in our test framework queues the\n   clean-up tasks to be done in a shell variable, it should not be\n   used inside a subshell.  Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch\n   such uses, and fix the ones that were found.\n\n * The debugging infrastructure for pkt-line based communication has\n   been improved to mark the side-band communication specifically.\n\n * Update \"git branch\" that list existing branches, using the\n   ref-filter API that is shared with \"git tag\" and \"git\n   for-each-ref\".\n\n * The test for various line-ending conversions has been enhanced.\n\n * A few test scripts around \"git p4\" have been improved for\n   portability.\n\n * Many allocations that is manually counted (correctly) that are\n   followed by strcpy/sprintf have been replaced with a less error\n   prone constructs such as xstrfmt.\n\n * The internal stripspace() function has been moved to where it\n   logically belongs to, i.e. strbuf API, and the command line parser\n   of \"git stripspace\" has been updated to use the parse_options API.\n\n * \"git am\" used to spawn \"git mailinfo\" via run_command() API once\n   per each patch, but learned to make a direct call to mailinfo()\n   instead.\n\n * The implementation of \"git mailinfo\" was refactored so that a\n   mailinfo() function can be directly called from inside a process.\n\n * With a \"debug\" helper, debugging of a single \"git\" invocation in\n   our test scripts has become a lot easier.\n\n * The \"configure\" script did not test for -lpthread correctly, which\n   upset some linkers.\n\n * Cross completed task off of subtree project's todo list.\n\n * Test cleanups for the subtree project.\n\n * Clean up style in an ancient test t9300.\n\n * Work around some test flakiness with p4d.\n\n * Fsck did not correctly detect a NUL-truncated header in a tag.\n\n * Use a safer behavior when we hit errors verifying remote certificates.\n\n * Speed up filter-branch for cases where we only care about rewriting\n   commits, not tree data.\n\n * The parse-options API has been updated to make \"-h\" command line\n   option work more consistently in all commands.\n\n * \"git svn rebase/mkdirs\" got optimized by keeping track of empty\n   directories better.\n\n * Fix some racy client/server tests by treating SIGPIPE the same as a\n   normal non-zero exit.\n\n * The necessary infrastructure to build topics using the free Travis\n   CI has been added. Developers forking from this topic (and enabling\n   Travis) can do their own builds, and we can turn on auto-builds for\n   git/git (including build-status for pull requests that people\n   open).\n\n * The write(2) emulation for Windows learned to set errno to EPIPE\n   when necessary.\n\n\nAlso contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.\n\n\nFixes since v2.6\n----------------\n\nUnless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.6 in the maintenance\ntrack are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'\nnotes for details).\n\n * Very small number of options take a parameter that is optional\n   (which is not a great UI element as they can only appear at the end\n   of the command line).  Add notice to documentation of each and\n   every one of them.\n\n * \"git blame --first-parent v1.0..v2.0\" was not rejected but did not\n   limit the blame to commits on the first parent chain.\n\n * \"git subtree\" (in contrib/) now can take whitespaces in the\n   pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of the\n   directory that the repository is in.\n\n * The ssh transport, just like any other transport over the network,\n   did not clear GIT_* environment variables, but it is possible to\n   use SendEnv and AcceptEnv to leak them to the remote invocation of\n   Git, which is not a good idea at all.  Explicitly clear them just\n   like we do for the local transport.\n\n * Correct \"git p4 --detect-labels\" so that it does not fail to create\n   a tag that points at a commit that is also being imported.\n\n * The Makefile always runs the library archiver with hardcoded \"crs\"\n   options, which was inconvenient for exotic platforms on which\n   people want to use programs with totally different set of command\n   line options.\n\n * Customization to change the behaviour with \"make -w\" and \"make -s\"\n   in our Makefile was broken when they were used together.\n\n * Allocation related functions and stdio are unsafe things to call\n   inside a signal handler, and indeed killing the pager can cause\n   glibc to deadlock waiting on allocation mutex as our signal handler\n   tries to free() some data structures in wait_for_pager().  Reduce\n   these unsafe calls.\n\n * The way how --ref/--notes to specify the notes tree reference are\n   DWIMmed was not clearly documented.\n\n * \"git gc\" used to barf when a symbolic ref has gone dangling\n   (e.g. the branch that used to be your upstream's default when you\n   cloned from it is now gone, and you did \"fetch --prune\").\n\n * \"git clone --dissociate\" runs a big \"git repack\" process at the\n   end, and it helps to close file descriptors that are open on the\n   packs and their idx files before doing so on filesystems that\n   cannot remove a file that is still open.\n\n * Description of the \"log.follow\" configuration variable in \"git log\"\n   documentation is now also copied to \"git config\" documentation.\n\n * \"git rebase -i\" had a minor regression recently, which stopped\n   considering a line that begins with an indented '#' in its insn\n   sheet not a comment. Further, the code was still too picky on\n   Windows where CRLF left by the editor is turned into a trailing CR\n   on the line read via the \"read\" built-in command of bash.  Both of\n   these issues are now fixed.\n\n * After \"git checkout --detach\", \"git status\" reported a fairly\n   useless \"HEAD detached at HEAD\", instead of saying at which exact\n   commit.\n\n * When \"git send-email\" wanted to talk over Net::SMTP::SSL,\n   Net::Cmd::datasend() did not like to be fed too many bytes at the\n   same time and failed to send messages.  Send the payload one line\n   at a time to work around the problem.\n\n * When \"git am\" was rewritten as a built-in, it stopped paying\n   attention to user.signingkey, which was fixed.\n\n * It was not possible to use a repository-lookalike created by \"git\n   worktree add\" as a local source of \"git clone\".\n\n * On a case insensitive filesystems, setting GIT_WORK_TREE variable\n   using a random cases that does not agree with what the filesystem\n   thinks confused Git that it wasn't inside the working tree.\n\n * Performance-measurement tests did not work without an installed Git.\n\n * A test script for the HTTP service had a timing dependent bug,\n   which was fixed.\n\n * There were some classes of errors that \"git fsck\" diagnosed to its\n   standard error that did not cause it to exit with non-zero status.\n\n * Work around \"git p4\" failing when the P4 depot records the contents\n   in UTF-16 without UTF-16 BOM.\n\n * When \"git gc --auto\" is backgrounded, its diagnosis message is\n   lost.  Save it to a file in $GIT_DIR and show it next time the \"gc\n   --auto\" is run.\n\n * The submodule code has been taught to work better with separate\n   work trees created via \"git worktree add\".\n\n * \"git gc\" is safe to run anytime only because it has the built-in\n   grace period to protect young objects.  In order to run with no\n   grace period, the user must make sure that the repository is\n   quiescent.\n\n * A recent \"filter-branch --msg-filter\" broke skipping of the commit\n   object header, which is fixed.\n\n * The normalize_ceiling_entry() function does not muck with the end\n   of the path it accepts, and the real world callers do rely on that,\n   but a test insisted that the function drops a trailing slash.\n\n * A test for interaction between untracked cache and sparse checkout\n   added in Git 2.5 days were flaky.\n\n * A couple of commands still showed \"[options]\" in their usage string\n   to note where options should come on their command line, but we\n   spell that \"[<options>]\" in most places these days.\n\n * The synopsis text and the usage string of subcommands that read\n   list of things from the standard input are often shown as if they\n   only take input from a file on a filesystem, which was misleading.\n\n * \"git am -3\" had a small regression where it is aborted in its error\n   handling codepath when underlying merge-recursive failed in certain\n   ways, as it assumed that the internal call to merge-recursive will\n   never die, which is not the case (yet).\n\n * The linkage order of libraries was wrong in places around libcurl.\n\n * The name-hash subsystem that is used to cope with case insensitive\n   filesystems keeps track of directories and their on-filesystem\n   cases for all the paths in the index by holding a pointer to a\n   randomly chosen cache entry that is inside the directory (for its\n   ce->ce_name component).  This pointer was not updated even when the\n   cache entry was removed from the index, leading to use after free.\n   This was fixed by recording the path for each directory instead of\n   borrowing cache entries and restructuring the API somewhat.\n\n * \"git merge-file\" tried to signal how many conflicts it found, which\n   obviously would not work well when there are too many of them.\n\n * The error message from \"git blame --contents --reverse\" incorrectly\n   talked about \"--contents --children\".\n\n * \"git imap-send\" did not compile well with older version of cURL library.\n\n * Merging a branch that removes a path and another that changes the\n   mode bits on the same path should have conflicted at the path, but\n   it didn't and silently favoured the removal.\n\n * \"git --literal-pathspecs add -u/-A\" without any command line\n   argument misbehaved ever since Git 2.0.\n\n * \"git daemon\" uses \"run_command()\" without \"finish_command()\", so it\n   needs to release resources itself, which it forgot to do.\n\n * \"git status --branch --short\" accessed beyond the constant string\n   \"HEAD\", which has been corrected.\n\n * We peek objects from submodule's object store by linking it to the\n   list of alternate object databases, but the code to do so forgot to\n   correctly initialize the list.\n\n * The code to prepare the working tree side of temporary directory\n   for the \"dir-diff\" feature forgot that symbolic links need not be\n   copied (or symlinked) to the temporary area, as the code already\n   special cases and overwrites them.  Besides, it was wrong to try\n   computing the object name of the target of symbolic link, which may\n   not even exist or may be a directory.\n\n * A Range: request can be responded with a full response and when\n   asked properly libcurl knows how to strip the result down to the\n   requested range.  However, we were hand-crafting a range request\n   and it did not kick in.\n\n * Having a leftover .idx file without corresponding .pack file in\n   the repository hurts performance; \"git gc\" learned to prune them.\n\n * Apple's common crypto implementation of SHA1_Update() does not take\n   more than 4GB at a time, and we now have a compile-time workaround\n   for it.\n\n * Produce correct \"dirty\" marker for shell prompts, even when we\n   are on an orphan or an unborn branch.\n\n * A build without NO_IPv6 used to use gethostbyname() when guessing\n   user's hostname, instead of getaddrinfo() that is used in other\n   codepaths in such a build.\n\n * The exit code of git-fsck did not reflect some types of errors\n   found in packed objects, which has been corrected.\n\n * The helper used to iterate over loose object directories to prune\n   stale objects did not closedir() immediately when it is done with a\n   directory--a callback such as the one used for \"git prune\" may want\n   to do rmdir(), but it would fail on open directory on platforms\n   such as WinXP.\n\n * \"git p4\" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths outside\n   the client spec as empty commits.  It has been corrected to ignore\n   them instead, with a new configuration git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a\n   backward compatibility knob.\n\n * The completion script (in contrib/) used to list \"git column\"\n   (which is not an end-user facing command) as one of the choices\n   (merge 160fcdb sg/completion-no-column later to maint).\n\n * The error reporting from \"git send-email\", when SMTP TLS fails, has\n   been improved.\n   (merge 9d60524 jk/send-email-ssl-errors later to maint).\n\n * When getpwuid() on the system returned NULL (e.g. the user is not\n   in the /etc/passwd file or other uid-to-name mappings), the\n   codepath to find who the user is to record it in the reflog barfed\n   and died.  Loosen the check in this codepath, which already accepts\n   questionable ident string (e.g. host part of the e-mail address is\n   obviously bogus), and in general when we operate fmt_ident() function\n   in non-strict mode.\n   (merge 92bcbb9 jk/ident-loosen-getpwuid later to maint).\n\n * \"git symbolic-ref\" forgot to report a failure with its exit status.\n   (merge f91b273 jk/symbolic-ref-maint later to maint).\n\n * History traversal with \"git log --source\" that starts with an\n   annotated tag failed to report the tag as \"source\", due to an\n   old regression in the command line parser back in v2.2 days.\n   (merge 728350b jk/pending-keep-tag-name later to maint).\n\n * \"git p4\" when interacting with multiple depots at the same time\n   used to incorrectly drop changes.\n\n * Code clean-up, minor fixes etc.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v2.6.0 are as follows:\n\nAlex Henrie (5):\n      merge: grammofix in please-commit-before-merge message\n      pull: enclose <options> in brackets in the usage string\n      gitk: l10n: Update Catalan translation\n      l10n: ca.po: update translation\n      l10n: ca.po: update translation\n\nAlex Riesen (1):\n      clone: allow \"--dissociate\" without reference\n\nAlexander Shopov (2):\n      l10n: Updated Bulgarian translation of git (2477t,0f,0u)\n      l10n: Updated Bulgarian translation of git (2477t,0f,0u)\n\nAlexey Shumkin (2):\n      t7900-subtree: test the \"space in a subdirectory name\" case\n      contrib/subtree: respect spaces in a repository path\n\nAntoine Delaite (1):\n      bisect: add the terms old/new\n\nAtousa Pahlevan Duprat (2):\n      sha1: provide another level of indirection for the SHA-1 functions\n      sha1: allow limiting the size of the data passed to SHA1_Update()\n\nAudric Schiltknecht (1):\n      l10n: fr.po: Fix typo\n\nBeat Bolli (1):\n      gitk: Add missing accelerators\n\nBen Boeckel (1):\n      remote: add get-url subcommand\n\nBlake Burkhart (2):\n      http: limit redirection to protocol-whitelist\n      http: limit redirection depth\n\nCharles Bailey (2):\n      http: treat config options sslCAPath and sslCAInfo as paths\n      t3404: fix quoting of redirect for some versions of bash\n\nChristian Couder (4):\n      quote: fix broken sq_quote_buf() related comment\n      quote: move comment before sq_quote_buf()\n      Documentation/git-update-index: add missing opts to synopsys\n      Documentation/git-update-index: add missing opts to synopsis\n\nClemens Buchacher (1):\n      allow hooks to ignore their standard input stream\n\nDair Grant (1):\n      git-svn: improve rebase/mkdirs performance\n\nDaniel Knittl-Frank (1):\n      Escape Git's exec path in contrib/rerere-train.sh script\n\nDavid Aguilar (1):\n      difftool: ignore symbolic links in use_wt_file\n\nDavid Turner (11):\n      refs: clean up common_list\n      path: optimize common dir checking\n      refs: make refs/bisect/* per-worktree\n      t7063: fix flaky untracked-cache test\n      name-hash: don't reuse cache_entry in dir_entry\n      http.c: use CURLOPT_RANGE for range requests\n      copy_msg(): rename to copy_reflog_msg()\n      initdb: make safe_create_dir public\n      files_log_ref_write: new function\n      refs: break out ref conflict checks\n      verify_pack: do not ignore return value of verification function\n\nDennis Kaarsemaker (3):\n      git-p4: import the ctypes module\n      t5813: avoid creating urls that break on cygwin\n      check-ignore: correct documentation about output\n\nDimitriy Ryazantcev (3):\n      l10n: ru.po: update Russian translation\n      gitk: Update Russian translation\n      l10n: ru.po: update Russian translation\n\nDoug Kelly (2):\n      t5304: test cleaning pack garbage\n      gc: remove garbage .idx files from pack dir\n\nEdmundo Carmona Antoranz (1):\n      checkout: add --progress option\n\nElia Pinto (1):\n      ident.c: add support for IPv6\n\nEric N.
