   Log message:
   Git v2.13.3:

    * The "collision detecting" SHA-1 implementation shipped with 2.13.2
      was still broken on some platforms.  Update to the upstream code
      again to take their fix.

    * The 'diff-highlight' program (in contrib/) has been restructured
      for easier reuse by an external project 'diff-so-fancy'.

    * "git mergetool" learned to work around a wrapper MacOS X adds
      around underlying meld.

    * An example in documentation that does not work in multi worktree
      configuration has been corrected.

    * The pretty-format specifiers like '%h', '%t', etc. had an
      optimization that no longer works correctly.  In preparation/hope
      of getting it correctly implemented, first discard the optimization
      that is broken.

    * The code to pick up and execute command alias definition from the
      configuration used to switch to the top of the working tree and
      then come back when the expanded alias was executed, which was
      unnecessarilyl complex.  Attempt to simplify the logic by using the
      early-config mechanism that does not chdir around.

    * "git add -p" were updated in 2.12 timeframe to cope with custom
      core.commentchar but the implementation was buggy and a
      metacharacter like $ and * did not work.

    * Fix a recent regression to "git rebase -i" and add tests that would
      have caught it and others.

    * An unaligned 32-bit access in pack-bitmap code ahs been corrected.

    * Tighten error checks for invalid "git apply" input.

    * The split index code did not honor core.sharedrepository setting
      correctly.

    * The Makefile rule in contrib/subtree for building documentation
      learned to honour USE_ASCIIDOCTOR just like the main documentation
      set does.

    * A few tests that tried to verify the contents of push certificates
      did not use 'git rev-parse' to formulate the line to look for in
      the certificate correctly.

    * After "git branch --move" of the currently checked out branch, the
      code to walk the reflog of HEAD via "log -g" and friends
      incorrectly stopped at the reflog entry that records the renaming
      of the branch.

    * The rewrite of "git branch --list" using for-each-ref's internals
      that happened in v2.13 regressed its handling of color.branch.local;
      this has been fixed.

   Log message:
   Git v2.13.4:

   * Update the character width tables.

   * A recent update broke an alias that contained an uppercase letter,
     which has been fixed.

   * On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"
     ought to mean a repository on a network share that can be accessed
     locally, but this did not work correctly due to stripping the double
     slashes at the beginning.

   * The progress meter did not give a useful output when we haven't had
     0.5 seconds to measure the throughput during the interval.  Instead
     show the overall throughput rate at the end, which is a much more
     useful number.

   * We run an early part of "git gc" that deals with refs before
     daemonising (and not under lock) even when running a background
     auto-gc, which caused multiple gc processes attempting to run the
     early part at the same time.  This is now prevented by running the
     early part also under the GC lock.

   Git 2.14 Release Notes
   ===========

   Backward compatibility notes and other notable changes.

    * Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for
      'everything matches' is still warned and Git asks users to use a
      more explicit '.' for that instead.  The hope is that existing
      users will not mind this change, and eventually the warning can be
      turned into a hard error, upgrading the deprecation into removal of
      this (mis)feature.  That is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming
      release (yet).

    * Git now avoids blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup
      sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository.  A corner case that
      happens to work right now may be broken by a call to die("BUG").
      We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there
      might still be cases that need to be addressed--bug reports are
      greatly appreciated.

    * The experiment to improve the hunk-boundary selection of textual
      diff output has finished, and the "indent heuristics" has now
      become the default.

    * Git can now be built with PCRE v2 instead of v1 of the PCRE
      library. Replace USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease with USE_LIBPCRE2=YesPlease
      in existing build scripts to build against the new version.  As the
      upstream PCRE maintainer has abandoned v1 maintenance for all but
      the most critical bug fixes, use of v2 is recommended.

   Updates since v2.13
   -------------------

   UI, Workflows & Features

    * The colors in which "git status --short --branch" showed the names
      of the current branch and its remote-tracking branch are now
      configurable.

    * "git clone" learned the "--no-tags" option not to \ 
fetch all tags
      initially, and also set up the tagopt not to follow any tags in
      subsequent fetches.

    * "git archive --format=zip" learned to use zip64 extension when
      necessary to go beyond the 4GB limit.

    * "git reset" learned "--recurse-submodules" option.

    * "git diff --submodule=diff" now recurses into nested submodules.

    * "git repack" learned to accept the --threads=<n> option \ 
and pass it
      to pack-objects.

    * "git send-email" learned to run sendemail-validate hook to inspect
      and reject a message before sending it out.

    * There is no good reason why "git fetch $there $sha1" should fail
      when the $sha1 names an object at the tip of an advertised ref,
      even when the other side hasn't enabled allowTipSHA1InWant.

    * The "[includeIf "gitdir:$dir"] path=..." mechanism \ 
introduced in
      2.13.0 would canonicalize the path of the gitdir being matched,
      and did not match e.g. "gitdir:~/work/*" against a repo in
      "~/work/main" if "~/work" was a symlink to \ 
"/mnt/storage/work".
      Now we match both the resolved canonical path and what "pwd" would
      show. The include will happen if either one matches.

    * The "indent" heuristics is now the default in "diff". The
      diff.indentHeuristic configuration variable can be set to "false"
      for those who do not want it.

    * Many commands learned to pay attention to submodule.recurse
      configuration.

    * The convention for a command line is to follow "git cmdname
      --options" with revisions followed by an optional "--"
      disambiguator and then finally pathspecs.  When "--" is not there,
      we make sure early ones are all interpretable as revs (and do not
      look like paths) and later ones are the other way around.  A
      pathspec with "magic" (e.g. ":/p/a/t/h" that matches \ 
p/a/t/h from
      the top-level of the working tree, no matter what subdirectory you
      are working from) are conservatively judged as "not a path", which
      required disambiguation more often.  The command line parser
      learned to say "it's a pathspec" a bit more often when the syntax
      looks like so.

    * Update "perl-compatible regular expression" support to enable JIT
      and also allow linking with the newer PCRE v2 library.

    * "filter-branch" learned a pseudo filter "--setup" that \ 
can be used
      to define common functions/variables that can be used by other
      filters.

    * Using "git add d/i/r" when d/i/r is the top of the working tree of
      a separate repository would create a gitlink in the index, which
      would appear as a not-quite-initialized submodule to others.  We
      learned to give warnings when this happens.

    * "git status" learned to optionally give how many stash entries there
      are in its output.

    * "git status" has long shown essentially the same message as "git
      commit"; the message it gives while preparing for the root commit,
      i.e. "Initial commit", was hard to understand for some new users.
      Now it says "No commits yet" to stress more on the current status
      (rather than the commit the user is preparing for, which is more in
      line with the focus of "git commit").

    * "git send-email" now has --batch-size and --relogin-delay options
       which can be used to overcome limitations on SMTP servers that
       restrict on how many of e-mails can be sent in a single session.

    * An old message shown in the commit log template was removed, as it
      has outlived its usefulness.

    * "git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules" learns to rebase the
      branch in the submodules to an updated base.

    * "git log" learned -P as a synonym for --perl-regexp, "git \ 
grep"
      already had such a synonym.

    * "git log" didn't understand --regexp-ignore-case when combined with
      --perl-regexp. This has been fixed.

   Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

    * The default packed-git limit value has been raised on larger
      platforms to save "git fetch" from a (recoverable) failure while
      "gc" is running in parallel.

    * Code to update the cache-tree has been tightened so that we won't
      accidentally write out any 0{40} entry in the tree object.

    * Attempt to allow us notice "fishy" situation where we fail to
      remove the temporary directory used during the test.

    * Travis CI gained a task to format the documentation with both
      AsciiDoc and AsciiDoctor.

    * Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our
      historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot
      represent some timestamp that the platform allows.  Invent a
      separate and dedicated timestamp_t (so that we can distingiuish
      timestamps and a vanilla ulongs, which along is already a good
      move), and then declare uintmax_t is the type to be used as the
      timestamp_t.

    * We can trigger Windows auto-build tester (credits: Dscho &
      Microsoft) from our existing Travis CI tester now.

    * Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues.

    * Simplify parse_pathspec() codepath and stop it from looking at the
      default in-core index.

    * Add perf-test for wildmatch.

    * Code from "conversion using external process" codepath has been
      extracted to a separate sub-process.[ch] module.

    * When "git checkout", "git merge", etc. manipulates the \ 
in-core
      index, various pieces of information in the index extensions are
      discarded from the original state, as it is usually not the case
      that they are kept up-to-date and in-sync with the operation on the
      main index.  The untracked cache extension is copied across these
      operations now, which would speed up "git status" (as long as the
      cache is properly invalidated).

    * The internal implementation of "git grep" has seen some clean-up.

    * Update the C style recommendation for notes for translators, as
      recent versions of gettext tools can work with our style of
      multi-line comments.

    * The implementation of "ref" API around the "packed \ 
refs" have been
      cleaned up, in preparation for further changes.

    * The internal logic used in "git blame" has been libified to make it
      easier to use by cgit.

    * Our code often opens a path to an optional file, to work on its
      contents when we can successfully open it.  We can ignore a failure
      to open if such an optional file does not exist, but we do want to
      report a failure in opening for other reasons (e.g. we got an I/O
      error, or the file is there, but we lack the permission to open).

      The exact errors we need to ignore are ENOENT (obviously) and
      ENOTDIR (less obvious).  Instead of repeating comparison of errno
      with these two constants, introduce a helper function to do so.

    * We often try to open a file for reading whose existence is
      optional, and silently ignore errors from open/fopen; report such
      errors if they are not due to missing files.

    * When an existing repository is used for t/perf testing, we first
      create bit-for-bit copy of it, which may grab a transient state of
      the repository and freeze it into the repository used for testing,
      which then may cause Git operations to fail.  Single out "the index
      being locked" case and forcibly drop the lock from the copy.

    * Three instances of the same helper function have been consolidated
      to one.

    * "fast-import" uses a default pack chain depth that is consistent
      with other parts of the system.

    * A new test to show the interaction between the pattern [^a-z]
      (which matches '/') and a slash in a path has been added.  The
      pattern should not match the slash with "pathmatch", but should
      with "wildmatch".

    * The 'diff-highlight' program (in contrib/) has been restructured
      for easier reuse by an external project 'diff-so-fancy'.

    * A common pattern to free a piece of memory and assign NULL to the
      pointer that used to point at it has been replaced with a new
      FREE_AND_NULL() macro.

    * Traditionally, the default die() routine had a code to prevent it
      from getting called multiple times, which interacted badly when a
      threaded program used it (one downside is that the real error may
      be hidden and instead the only error message given to the user may
      end up being "die recursion detected", which is not very useful).

    * Introduce a "repository" object to eventually make it easier to
      work in multiple repositories (the primary focus is to work with
      the superproject and its submodules) in a single process.

    * Optimize "what are the object names already taken in an alternate
      object database?" query that is used to derive the length of prefix
      an object name is uniquely abbreviated to.

    * The hashmap API has been updated so that data to customize the
      behaviour of the comparison function can be specified at the time a
      hashmap is initialized.

    * The "collision detecting" SHA-1 implementation shipped with 2.13 is
      now integrated into git.git as a submodule (the first submodule to
      ship with git.git). Clone git.git with --recurse-submodules to get
      it. For now a non-submodule copy of the same code is also shipped
      as part of the tree.

    * A recent update made it easier to use "-fsanitize=" option while
      compiling but supported only one sanitize option.  Allow more than
      one to be combined, joined with a comma, like "make \ 
SANITIZE=foo,bar".

    * Use "p4 -G" to make "p4 changes" output more \ 
Python-friendly
      to parse.

    * We started using "%" PRItime, imitating "%" PRIuMAX \ 
and friends, as
      a way to format the internal timestamp value, but this does not
      play well with gettext(1) i18n framework, and causes "make pot"
      that is run by the l10n coordinator to create a broken po/git.pot
      file.  This is a possible workaround for that problem.

    * It turns out that Cygwin also needs the fopen() wrapper that
      returns failure when a directory is opened for reading.
