Git v2.20.1 Release Notes =========================

This release is primarily to fix brown-paper-bag breakages in the 2.20.0 release.

Fixes since v2.20 -----------------

 * A few newly added tests were not portable and caused minority
   platforms to report false breakages, which have been fixed.
 * Portability fix for a recent update to parse-options API.
 * "git help -a" did not work well when an overly long alias is
   defined, which has been corrected.
 * A recent update accidentally squelched an error message when the
   run_command API failed to run a missing command, which has been
   corrected.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Changes since v2.20.0 are as follows:
Derrick Stolee (1):
      .gitattributes: ensure t/oid-info/* has eol=lf

      help.h: fix coding style
      help -a: handle aliases with long names gracefully
      t4256: mark support files as LF-only
