Plan to deprecate and remove it.\n\n * An interchange format for stash entries is defined, and subcommand\n of \"git stash\" to import/export has been added.\n\n * \"git merge/pull\" has been taught the \"--compact-summary\" option to\n use the compact-summary format, intead of diffstat, when showing\n the summary of the incoming changes.\n\n * \"git imap-send\" has been broken for a long time, which has been\n resurrected and then taught to talk OAuth2.0 etc.\n\n * Some error messages from \"git imap-send\" has been updated.\n\n * When \"git daemon\" sees a signal while attempting to accept() a new\n client, instead of retrying, it skipped it by mistake, which has\n been corrected.\n\n * The reftable ref backend has matured enough; Git 3.0 will make it\n the default format in a newly created repositories by default.\n\n * \"netrc\" credential helper has been improved to understand textual\n service names (like smtp) in addition to the numeric port numbers\n (like 25).\n\n * Lift the limitation to use changed-path filter in \"git log\" so that\n it can be used for a pathspec with multiple literal paths.\n\n * Clean up the way how signature on commit objects are exported to\n and imported from fast-import stream.\n\n * Remove unsupported, unused, and unsupportable old option from \"git\n log\".\n\n * Document recently added \"git imap-send --list\" with an example.\n\n * \"git pull\" learned to pay attention to pull.autostash configuration\n variable, which overrides rebase/merge.autostash.\n\n * \"git for-each-ref\" learns \"--start-after\" option to help\n applications that want to page its output.\n\n * \"git switch\" and \"git restore\" are declared to be no longer\n experimental.\n\n * \"git -c alias.foo=bar foo -h baz\" reported \"'foo' is aliased to\n 'bar'\" and then went on to run \"git foo -h baz\", which was\n unexpected. Tighten the rule so that alias expansion is reported\n only when \"-h\" is the sole option.\n\n\nPerformance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.\n--------------------------------------------------------------\n\n * \"git pack-objects\" learned to find delta bases from blobs at the\n same path, using the --path-walk API.\n\n * CodingGuidelines update.\n\n * Add settings for Solaris 10 & 11.\n\n * Meson-based build/test framework now understands TAP output\n generated by our tests.\n\n * \"Do not explicitly initialize to zero\" rule has been clarified in\n the CodingGuidelines document.\n\n * A test helper \"test_seq\" function learned the \"-f \" option,\n which allowed us to simplify a lot of test scripts.\n\n * A lot of stale stuff has been removed from the contrib/ hierarchy.\n\n * \"git push\" and \"git fetch\" are taught to update refs in batches to\n gain performance.\n\n * Some code paths in \"git prune\" used to ignore the passed-in\n repository object and used the `the_repository` singleton instance\n instead, which has been corrected.\n\n * Update \".clang-format\" and \".editorconfig\" to match our style guide\n a bit better.\n\n * \"make coccicheck\" succeeds even when spatch made suggestions, which\n has been updated to fail in such a case.\n\n * Code clean-up around object access API.\n\n * Define .precision to more canned parse-options type to avoid bugs\n coming from using a variable with a wrong type to capture the\n parsed values.\n\n * Flipping the default hash function to SHA-256 at Git 3.0 boundary\n is planned.\n\n * Declare weather-balloon we raised for \"bool\" type 18 months ago a\n success and officially allow using the type in our codebase.\n\n * GIT_TEST_INSTALLED was not honored in the recent topic related to\n SHA256 hashes, which has been corrected.\n\n * The pop_most_recent_commit() function can have quite expensive\n worst case performance characteristics, which has been optimized by\n using prio-queue data structure.\n\n * Move structure definition from unrelated header file to where it\n belongs.\n\n * To help our developers, document what C99 language features are\n being considered for adoption, in addition to what past experiments\n have already decided.\n\n * The reftable unit tests are now ported to the \"clar\" unit testing\n framework.\n\n * Redefine where the multi-pack-index sits in the object subsystem,\n which recently was restructured to allow multiple backends that\n support a single object source that belongs to one repository. A\n MIDX does span multiple \"object sources\".\n\n * Reduce implicit assumption and dependence on the_repository in the\n object-file subsystem.\n\n\nFixes since v2.50\n-----------------\n\nUnless otherwise noted, all the changes in 2.50.X maintenance track,\nincluding security updates, are included in this release.\n\n * A memory-leak in an error code path has been plugged.\n (merge 7082da85cb ly/commit-graph-graph-write-leakfix later to maint).\n\n * A memory-leak in an error code path has been plugged.\n (merge aedebdb6b9 ly/fetch-pack-leakfix later to maint).\n\n * Some leftover references to documentation source files that no\n longer exist, due to recent \".txt\" -> \".adoc\" renaming, have been\n corrected.\n (merge 3717a5775a jw/doc-txt-to-adoc-refs later to maint).\n\n * \"git stash -p \" improvements.\n (merge 468817bab2 pw/stash-p-pathspec-fixes later to maint).\n\n * \"git send-email\" incremented its internal message counter when a\n message was edited, which made logic that treats the first message\n specially misbehave, which has been corrected.\n (merge 2cc27b3501 ag/send-email-edit-threading-fix later to maint).\n\n * \"git stash\" recorded a wrong branch name when submodules are\n present in the current checkout, which has been corrected.\n (merge ffb36c64f2 kj/stash-onbranch-submodule-fix later to maint).\n\n * When asking to apply mailmap to both author and committer field\n while showing a commit object, the field that appears later was not\n correctly parsed and replaced, which has been corrected.\n (merge abf94a283f sa/multi-mailmap-fix later to maint).\n\n * \"git maintenance\" lacked the care \"git gc\" had to avoid holding\n onto the repository lock for too long during packing refs, which\n has been remedied.\n (merge 1b5074e614 ps/maintenance-ref-lock later to maint).\n\n * Avoid regexp_constraint and instead use comparison_constraint when\n listing functions to exclude from application of coccinelle rules,\n as spatch can be built with different regexp engine X-<.\n (merge f2ad545813 jc/cocci-avoid-regexp-constraint later to maint).\n\n * Updating submodules from the upstream did not work well when\n submodule's HEAD is detached, which has been improved.\n (merge ca62f524c1 jk/submodule-remote-lookup-cleanup later to maint).\n\n * Remove unnecessary check from \"git daemon\" code.\n (merge 0c856224d2 cb/daemon-fd-check-fix later to maint).\n\n * Use of sysctl() system call to learn the total RAM size used on\n BSDs has been corrected.\n (merge 781c1cf571 cb/total-ram-bsd-fix later to maint).\n\n * Drop FreeBSD 4 support and declare that we support only FreeBSD 12\n or later, which has memmem() supported.\n (merge 0392f976a7 bs/config-mak-freebsd later to maint).\n\n * A diff-filter with negative-only specification like \"git log\n --diff-filter=d\" did not trigger correctly, which has been fixed.\n (merge 375ac087c5 jk/all-negative-diff-filter-fix later to maint).\n\n * A failure to open the index file for writing due to conflicting\n access did not state what went wrong, which has been corrected.\n (merge 9455397a5c hy/read-cache-lock-error-fix later to maint).\n\n * Tempfile removal fix in the codepath to sign commits with SSH keys.\n (merge 4498127b04 re/ssh-sign-buffer-fix later to maint).\n\n * Code and test clean-up around string-list API.\n (merge 6e5b26c3ff sj/string-list later to maint).\n\n * \"git apply -N\" should start from the current index and register\n only new files, but it instead started from an empty index, which\n has been corrected.\n (merge 2b49d97fcb rp/apply-intent-to-add-fix later to maint).\n\n * Leakfix with a new and a bit invasive test on pack-bitmap files.\n (merge bfd5522e98 ly/load-bitmap-leakfix later to maint).\n\n * \"git fetch --prune\" used to be O(n^2) expensive when there are many\n refs, which has been corrected.\n (merge 87d8d8c5d0 ph/fetch-prune-optim later to maint).\n\n * When a ref creation at refs/heads/foo/bar fails, the files backend\n now removes refs/heads/foo/ if the directory is otherwise not used.\n (merge a3a7f20516 ps/refs-files-remove-empty-parent later to maint).\n\n * \"pack-objects\" has been taught to avoid pointing into objects in\n cruft packs from midx.\n\n * \"git remote\" now detects remote names that overlap with each other\n (e.g., remote nickname \"outer\" and \"outer/inner\" are used at the\n same time), as it will lead to overlapping remote-tracking\n branches.\n (merge a5a727c448 jk/remote-avoid-overlapping-names later to maint).\n\n * The gpg.program configuration variable, which names a pathname to\n the (custom) GPG compatible program, can now be spelled with ~tilde\n expansion.\n (merge 7d275cd5c0 jb/gpg-program-variable-is-a-pathname later to maint).\n\n * Our header file relied on that the system-supplied\n header is not later included, which would override our\n macro definitions, but \"amazon linux\" broke this assumption. Fix\n this by preemptively including near the beginning of\n ourselves.\n (merge 9d3b33125f ps/sane-ctype-workaround later to maint).\n\n * Clean-up compat/bswap.h mess.\n (merge f4ac32c03a ss/compat-bswap-revamp later to maint).\n\n * Meson-based build did not handle libexecdir setting correctly,\n which has been corrected.\n (merge 056dbe8612 rj/meson-libexecdir-fix later to maint).\n\n * Document that we do not require \"real\" name when signing your\n patches off.\n (merge 1f0fed312a bc/contribution-under-non-real-names later to maint).\n\n * \"git commit\" that concludes a conflicted merge failed to notice and remove\n existing comment added automatically (like \"# Conflicts:\") when the\n core.commentstring is set to 'auto'.\n (merge 92b7c7c9f5 ac/auto-comment-char-fix later to maint).\n\n * \"git rebase -i\" with bogus rebase.instructionFormat configuration\n failed to produce the todo file after recording the state files,\n leading to confused \"git status\"; this has been corrected.\n (merge ade14bffd7 ow/rebase-verify-insn-fmt-before-initializing-state later to maint).\n\n * A few file descriptors left unclosed upon program completion in a\n few test helper programs are now closed.\n (merge 0f1b33815b hl/test-helper-fd-close later to maint).\n\n * Interactive prompt code did not correctly strip CRLF from the end\n of line on Windows.\n (merge 711a20827b js/prompt-crlf-fix later to maint).\n\n * The config API had a set of convenience wrapper functions that\n implicitly use the_repository instance; they have been removed and\n inlined at the calling sites.\n\n * \"git add/etc -p\" now honor the diff.context configuration variable,\n and also they learn to honor the -U command-line option.\n (merge 2b3ae04011 lm/add-p-context later to maint).\n\n * The case where a new submodule takes a path where there used to be a\n completely different subproject is now dealt with a bit better than\n before.\n (merge 5ed8c5b465 kj/renamed-submodule later to maint).\n\n * The deflate codepath in \"git archive --format=zip\" had a\n longstanding bug coming from misuse of zlib API, which has been\n corrected.\n\n *
