This\n   is finally fixed, so that we can move forward with the deprecation.\n\n * Codepaths that read from an on-disk loose object were too loose in\n   validating what they are reading is a proper object file and\n   sometimes read past the data they read from the disk, which has\n   been corrected.  H/t to Gustavo Grieco for reporting.\n\n * \"git worktree\", even though it used the default_abbrev setting that\n   ought to be affected by core.abbrev configuration variable, ignored\n   the variable setting.  The command has been taught to read the\n   default set of configuration variables to correct this.\n\n * A low-level function verify_packfile() was meant to show errors\n   that were detected without dying itself, but under some conditions\n   it didn't and died instead, which has been fixed.\n\n * When \"git fetch\" tries to find where the history of the repository\n   it runs in has diverged from what the other side has, it has a\n   mechanism to avoid digging too deep into irrelevant side branches.\n   This however did not work well over the \"smart-http\" transport due\n   to a design bug, which has been fixed.\n\n * When we started cURL to talk to imap server when a new enough\n   version of cURL library is available, we forgot to explicitly add\n   imap(s):// before the destination.  To some folks, that didn't work\n   and the library tried to make HTTP(s) requests instead.\n\n * The ./configure script generated from configure.ac was taught how\n   to detect support of SSL by libcurl better.\n\n * http.emptyauth configuration is a way to allow an empty username to\n   pass when attempting to authenticate using mechanisms like\n   Kerberos.  We took an unspecified (NULL) username and sent \":\"\n   (i.e. no username, no password) to CURLOPT_USERPWD, but did not do\n   the same when the username is explicitly set to an empty string.\n\n * \"git clone\" of a local repository can be done at the filesystem\n   level, but the codepath did not check errors while copying and\n   adjusting the file that lists alternate object stores.\n\n * Documentation for \"git commit\" was updated to clarify that \"commit\n   -p <paths>\" adds to the current contents of the index to come up\n   with what to commit.\n\n * A stray symbolic link in $GIT_DIR/refs/ directory could make name\n   resolution loop forever, which has been corrected.\n\n * The \"submodule.<name>.path\" stored in .gitmodules is never copied\n   to .git/config and such a key in .git/config has no meaning, but\n   the documentation described it and submodule.<name>.url next to\n   each other as if both belong to .git/config.  This has been fixed.\n\n * Recent git allows submodule.<name>.branch to use a special token\n   \".\" instead of the branch name; the documentation has been updated\n   to describe it.\n\n * In a worktree connected to a repository elsewhere, created via \"git\n   worktree\", \"git checkout\" attempts to protect users from confusion\n   by refusing to check out a branch that is already checked out in\n   another worktree.  However, this also prevented checking out a\n   branch, which is designated as the primary branch of a bare\n   reopsitory, in a worktree that is connected to the bare\n   repository.  The check has been corrected to allow it.\n\n * \"git rebase\" immediately after \"git clone\" failed to find the fork\n   point from the upstream.\n\n * When fetching from a remote that has many tags that are irrelevant\n   to branches we are following, we used to waste way too many cycles\n   when checking if the object pointed at by a tag (that we are not\n   going to fetch!) exists in our repository too carefully.\n\n * The Travis CI configuration we ship ran the tests with --verbose\n   option but this risks non-TAP output that happens to be \"ok\" to be\n   misinterpreted as TAP signalling a test that passed.  This resulted\n   in unnecessary failure.  This has been corrected by introducing a\n   new mode to run our tests in the test harness to send the verbose\n   output separately to the log file.\n\n * Some AsciiDoc formatter mishandles a displayed illustration with\n   tabs in it.  Adjust a few of them in merge-base documentation to\n   work around them.\n\nAlso contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v2.10.1 are as follows:\n\nAnders Kaseorg (1):\n      imap-send: Tell cURL to use imap:// or
