Now the message can be squelched as an advice message.\n\n * \"git for-each-ref\" learned \"--include-root-refs\" option to show\n even the stuff outside the 'refs/' hierarchy.\n\n * \"git rev-list --missing=print\" has learned to optionally take\n \"--allow-missing-tips\", which allows the objects at the starting\n points to be missing.\n\n * \"git merge-tree\" has learned that the three trees involved in the\n 3-way merge only need to be trees, not necessarily commits.\n\n * \"git log --merge\" learned to pay attention to CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and\n other kinds of *_HEAD pseudorefs.\n\n * Platform specific tweaks for OS/390 has been added to\n config.mak.uname.\n\n * Users with safe.bareRepository=explicit can still work from within\n $GIT_DIR of a seconary worktree (which resides at .git/worktrees/$name/)\n of the primary worktree without explicitly specifying the $GIT_DIR\n environment variable or the --git-dir= option.\n\n * The output format for dates \"iso-strict\" has been tweaked to show\n a time in the Zulu timezone with \"Z\" suffix, instead of \"+00:00\".\n\n * \"git diff\" and friends learned two extra configuration variables,\n diff.srcPrefix and diff.dstPrefix.\n\n * The status.showUntrackedFiles configuration variable had a name\n that tempts users to set a Boolean value expressed in our usual\n \"false\", \"off\", and \"0\", but it only took \"no\". This has been\n corrected so \"true\" and its synonyms are taken as \"normal\", while\n \"false\" and its synonyms are taken as \"no\".\n\n * Remove an ancient and not well maintained Hg-to-git migration\n script from contrib/.\n\n * Hints that suggest what to do after resolving conflicts can now be\n squelched by disabling advice.mergeConflict.\n\n * Allow git-cherry-pick(1) to automatically drop redundant commits via\n a new `--empty` option, similar to the `--empty` options for\n git-rebase(1) and git-am(1). Includes a soft deprecation of\n `--keep-redundant-commits` as well as some related docs changes and\n sequencer code cleanup.\n\n * \"git config\" learned \"--comment=\" option to leave a\n comment immediately after the \"variable = value\" on the same line\n in the configuration file.\n\n * core.commentChar used to be limited to a single byte, but has been\n updated to allow an arbitrary multi-byte sequence.\n\n * \"git add -p\" and other \"interactive hunk selection\" UI has learned to\n skip showing the hunk immediately after it has already been shown, and\n an additional action to explicitly ask to reshow the current hunk.\n\n * \"git pack-refs\" learned the \"--auto\" option, which is a useful\n addition to be triggered from \"git gc --auto\".\n\n * \"git add -u \" and \"git commit [-i] \" did not\n diagnose a pathspec element that did not match any files in certain\n situations, unlike \"git add \" did.\n\n * The userdiff patterns for C# has been updated.\n\n\nPerformance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.\n\n * The code to iterate over refs with the reftable backend has seen\n some optimization.\n\n * More tests that are marked as \"ref-files only\" have been updated to\n improve test coverage of reftable backend.\n\n * Some parts of command line completion script (in contrib/) have\n been micro-optimized.\n\n * The way placeholders are to be marked-up in documentation have been\n specified; use \"__\" to typeset the word inside a pair\n of emphasized.\n\n * \"git --no-lazy-fetch cmd\" allows to run \"cmd\" while disabling lazy\n fetching of objects from the promisor remote, which may be handy\n for debugging.\n\n * The implementation in \"git clean\" that makes \"-n\" and \"-i\" ignore\n clean.requireForce has been simplified, together with the\n documentation.\n\n * The code to iterate over refs with the reftable backend has seen\n some optimization.\n\n * Uses of xwrite() helper have been audited and updated for better\n error checking and simpler code.\n\n * Some trace2 events that lacked def_param have learned to show it,\n enriching the output.\n\n * The parse-options code that deals with abbreviated long option\n names have been cleaned up.\n\n * The code in reftable backend that creates new table files works\n better with the tempfile framework to avoid leaving cruft after a\n failure.\n\n * The reftable code has its own custom binary search function whose\n comparison callback has an unusual interface, which caused the\n binary search to degenerate into a linear search, which has been\n corrected.\n\n * The code to iterate over reflogs in the reftable has been optimized\n to reduce memory allocation and deallocation.\n\n * Work to support a repository that work with both SHA-1 and SHA-256\n hash algorithms has started.\n\n * A new fuzz target that exercises config parsing code has been\n added.\n\n * Fix the way recently added tests interpolate variables defined\n outside them, and document the best practice to help future\n developers.\n\n * Introduce an experimental protocol for contributors to propose the\n topic description to be used in the \"What's cooking\" report, the\n merge commit message for the topic, and in the release notes and\n document it in the SubmittingPatches document.\n\n * The t/README file now gives a hint on running individual tests in\n the \"t/\" directory with \"make t-*.sh t-*.sh\".\n (merge 8d383806fc pb/test-scripts-are-build-targets later to maint).\n\n * The \"hint:\" messages given by the advice mechanism, when given a\n message with a blank line, left a line with trailing whitespace,\n which has been cleansed.\n\n * Documentation rules has been explicitly described how to mark-up\n literal parts and a few manual pages have been updated as examples.\n\n * The .editorconfig file has been taught that a Makefile uses HT\n indentation.\n\n * t-prio-queue test has been cleaned up by using C99 compound\n literals; this is meant to also serve as a weather-balloon to smoke\n out folks with compilers who have trouble compiling code that uses\n the feature.\n\n * Windows binary used to decide the use of unix-domain socket at\n build time, but it learned to make the decision at runtime instead.\n\n * The \"shared repository\" test in the t0610 reftable test failed\n under restrictive umask setting (e.g. 007), which has been\n corrected.\n\n * Document and apply workaround for a buggy version of dash that\n mishandles \"local var=val\" construct.\n\n * The codepaths that reach date_mode_from_type() have been updated to\n pass \"struct date_mode\" by value to make them thread safe.\n\n * The strategy to compact multiple tables of reftables after many\n operations accumulate many entries has been improved to avoid\n accumulating too many tables uncollected.\n\n\nFixes since v2.44\n-----------------\n\n * \"git apply\" on a filesystem without filemode support have learned\n to take a hint from what is in the index for the path, even when\n not working with the \"--index\" or \"--cached\" option, when checking\n the executable bit match what is required by the preimage in the\n patch.\n (merge 45b625142d cp/apply-core-filemode later to maint).\n\n * \"git column\" has been taught to reject negative padding value, as\n it would lead to nonsense behaviour including division by zero.\n (merge 76fb807faa kh/column-reject-negative-padding later to maint).\n\n * \"git am --help\" now tells readers what actions are available in\n \"git am --whitespace=\", in addition to saying that the\n option is passed through to the underlying \"git apply\".\n (merge a171dac734 jc/am-whitespace-doc later to maint).\n\n * \"git tag --column\" failed to check the exit status of its \"git\n column\" invocation, which has been corrected.\n (merge 92e66478fc rj/tag-column-fix later to maint).\n\n * Credential helper based on libsecret (in contrib/) has been updated\n to handle an empty password correctly.\n (merge 8f1f2023b7 mh/libsecret-empty-password-fix later to maint).\n\n * \"git difftool --dir-diff\" learned to honor the \"--trust-exit-code\"\n option; it used to always exit with 0 and signalled success.\n (merge eb84c8b6ce ps/difftool-dir-diff-exit-code later to maint).\n\n * The code incorrectly attempted to use textconv cache when asked,\n even when we are not running in a repository, which has been\n corrected.\n (merge affe355fe7 jk/textconv-cache-outside-repo-fix later to maint).\n\n * Remove an empty file that shouldn't have been added in the first\n place.\n (merge 4f66942215 js/remove-cruft-files later to maint).\n\n * The logic to access reflog entries by date and number had ugly\n corner cases at the boundaries, which have been cleaned up.\n (merge 5edd126720 jk/reflog-special-cases-fix later to maint).\n\n * An error message from \"git upload-pack\", which responds to \"git\n fetch\" requests, had a trialing NUL in it, which has been\n corrected.\n (merge 3f4c7a0805 sg/upload-pack-error-message-fix later to maint).\n\n * Clarify wording in the CodingGuidelines that requires \n to be the first header file.\n (merge 4e89f0e07c jc/doc-compat-util later to maint).\n\n * \"git commit -v --cleanup=scissors\" used to add the scissors line\n twice in the log message buffer, which has been corrected.\n (merge e90cc075cc jt/commit-redundant-scissors-fix later to maint).\n\n * A custom remote helper no longer cannot access the newly created\n repository during \"git clone\", which is a regression in Git 2.44.\n This has been corrected.\n (merge 199f44cb2e ps/remote-helper-repo-initialization-fix later to maint).\n\n * Various parts of upload-pack has been updated to bound the resource\n consumption relative to the size of the repository to protect from\n abusive clients.\n (merge 6cd05e768b jk/upload-pack-bounded-resources later to maint).\n\n * The upload-pack program, when talking over v2, accepted the\n packfile-uris protocol extension from the client, even if it did\n not advertise the capability, which has been corrected.\n (merge a922bfa3b5 jk/upload-pack-v2-capability-cleanup later to maint).\n\n * Make sure failure return from merge_bases_many() is properly caught.\n (merge 25fd20eb44 js/merge-base-with-missing-commit later to maint).\n\n * FSMonitor client code was confused when FSEvents were given in a\n different case on a case-insensitive filesystem, which has been\n corrected.\n (merge 29c139ce78 jh/fsmonitor-icase-corner-case-fix later to maint).\n\n * The \"core.commentChar\" configuration variable only allows an ASCII\n character, which was not clearly documented, which has been\n corrected.\n (merge fb7c556f58 kh/doc-commentchar-is-a-byte later to maint).\n\n * With release 2.44 we got rid of all uses of test_i18ngrep and there\n is no in-flight topic that adds a new use of it. Make a call to\n test_i18ngrep a hard failure, so that we can remove it at the end\n of this release cycle.\n (merge 381a83dfa3 jc/test-i18ngrep later to maint).\n\n * The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to\n complete \"git reflog\" better.\n (merge 1284f9cc11 rj/complete-reflog later to maint).\n\n * The logic to complete the command line arguments to \"git worktree\"\n subcommand (in contrib/) has been updated to correctly honor things\n like \"git -C dir\" etc.\n (merge 3574816d98 rj/complete-worktree-paths-fix later to maint).\n\n * When git refuses to create a branch because the proposed branch\n name is not a valid refname, an advice message is given to refer\n the user to exact naming rules.\n (merge 8fbd903e58 kh/branch-ref-syntax-advice later to maint).\n\n * Code simplification by getting rid of code that sets an environment\n variable that is no longer used.\n (merge 72a8d3f027 pw/rebase-i-ignore-cherry-pick-help-environment later to

bugreport --no-suffix\" was not supported and instead\n segfaulted, which has been corrected.\n (merge b3b57c69da js/bugreport-no-suffix-fix later to maint).\n\n * The documentation for \"%(trailers[:options])\" placeholder in the\n \"--pretty\" option of commands in the \"git log\" family has been\n updated.\n (merge bff85a338c bl/doc-key-val-sep-fix later to maint).\n\n * \"git checkout --conflict=bad\" reported a bad conflictStyle as if it\n were given to a configuration variable; it has been corrected to\n report that the command line option is bad.\n (merge 5a99c1ac1a pw/checkout-conflict-errorfix later to maint).\n\n * Code clean-up in the \"git log\" machinery that implements custom log\n message formatting.\n (merge 1c10b8e5b0 jk/pretty-subject-cleanup later to

later to maint).\n\n * A unit test for reftable code tried to enumerate all files in a\n directory after reftable operations and expected to see nothing but\n the files it wanted to leave there, but was fooled by .nfs* cruft\n files left, which has been corrected.\n (merge 0068aa7946 ps/reftable-unit-test-nfs-workaround later to maint).\n\n * The implementation and documentation of \"object-format\" option\n exchange between the Git itself and its remote helpers did not\n quite match, which has been corrected.\n\n * The \"--pretty=\" option of the commands in the \"git log\"\n family, defined as \"[pretty] shortHand = \" should have\n been looked up case insensitively, but was not, which has been\n corrected.\n (merge f999d5188b bl/pretty-shorthand-config-fix later to maint).\n\n * \"git apply\" failed to extract the filename the patch applied to,\n when the change was about an empty file created in or deleted from\n a directory whose name ends with a SP, which has

which in turn allowed a mksnpath() function that is no\n longer used.\n (merge 708f7e0590 rs/apply-lift-path-length-limit later to maint).\n\n * A file descriptor leak in an error codepath, used when \"git apply\n --reject\" fails to create the *.rej file, has been corrected.\n (merge 2b1f456adf rs/apply-reject-fd-leakfix later to maint).\n\n * A config parser callback function fell through instead of returning\n after recognising and processing a variable, wasting cycles, which\n has been corrected.\n (merge a816ccd642 ds/fetch-config-parse-microfix later to maint).\n\n * Fix was added to work around a regression in libcURL 8.7.0 (which has\n already been fixed in their tip of the tree).\n (merge 92a209bf24 jk/libcurl-8.7-regression-workaround later to maint).\n\n * The variable
