git: updated to 2.48.0

Git v2.48 Release Notes
=======================

UI, Workflows & Features
------------------------

 * A new configuration variable remote.<name>.serverOption makes the
   transport layer act as if the --serverOption=<value> option is
   given from the command line.

 * "git rebase --rebase-merges" now uses branch names as labels when
   able.

 * Describe the policy to introduce breaking changes.

 * Teach 'git notes add' and 'git notes append' a new '-e' flag,
   instructing them to open the note in $GIT_EDITOR before saving.

 * Documentation for "git bundle" saw improvements to more prominently
   call out the use of '--all' when creating bundles.

 * Drop support for older libcURL and Perl.

 * End-user experience of "git mergetool" when the command errors out
   has been improved.

 * "git bundle --unbundle" and "git clone" running on a \ 
bundle file
   both learned to trigger fsck over the new objects with configurable
   fck check levels.

 * When "git fetch $remote" notices that refs/remotes/$remote/HEAD is
   missing and discovers what branch the other side points with its
   HEAD, refs/remotes/$remote/HEAD is updated to point to it.

 * "git fetch" honors \ 
"remote.<remote>.followRemoteHEAD" settings to
   tweak the remote-tracking HEAD in "refs/remotes/<remote>/HEAD".

 * "git range-diff" learned to optionally show and compare merge
   commits in the ranges being compared, with the --diff-merges
   option.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------

 * Document "amlog" notes.

 * The way AsciiDoc is used for SYNOPSIS part of the manual pages has
   been revamped.  The sources, at least for the simple cases, got
   vastly more pleasant to work with.

 * The reftable library is now prepared to expect that the memory
   allocation function given to it may fail to allocate and to deal
   with such an error.

 * An extra worktree attached to a repository points at each other to
   allow finding the repository from the worktree (and vice versa)
   possible.  Use relative paths for this linkage.

 * Enable Windows-based CI in GitLab.

 * Commands that can also work outside Git have learned to take the
   repository instance "repo" when we know we are in a repository, and
   NULL when we are not, in a parameter.  The uses of the_repository
   variable in a few of them have been removed using the new calling
   convention.

 * The reftable sub-system grew a new reftable-specific strbuf
   replacement to reduce its dependency on Git-specific data
   structures.

 * The ref-filter machinery learns to recognize and avoid cases where
   sorting would be redundant.

 * Various platform compatibility fixes split out of the larger effort
   to use Meson as the primary build tool.

 * Treat ECONNABORTED the same as ECONNRESET in 'git credential-cache'
   to work around a possible Cygwin regression. This resolves a race
   condition caused by changes in Cygwin's handling of socket
   closures, allowing the client to exit cleanly when encountering
   ECONNABORTED.

 * Demonstrate an assertion failure in 'git mv'.

 * Documentation update to clarify that 'uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant'
   implies both 'allowTipSHA1InWant' and 'allowReachableSHA1InWant'.

 * Replace various calls to atoi() with strtol_i() and strtoul_ui(),
   and add improved error handling.

 * Documentation updates to 'git-update-ref(1)'.

 * Update the project's CodingGuidelines to discourage naming functions
   with a "_1()" suffix.

 * Update '.clang-format' to match project conventions.

 * Centralize documentation for repository extensions into a single place.

 * Buildfix and upgrade of Clar to a newer version.

 * Documentation mark-up updates.

 * Renaming a handful of variables and structure fields.

 * Fix for clar unit tests to support CMake build.

 * C23 compatibility updates.

 * GCC 15 compatibility updates.

 * We now ensure "index-pack" is used with the "--promisor" \ 
option
   only during a "git fetch".

 * The migration procedure between two ref backends has been optimized.

 * "git fsck" learned to issue warnings on "curiously \ 
formatted" ref
   contents that have always been treated as valid but that Git
   wouldn't have written itself (e.g., missing terminating end-of-line
   after the full object name).

 * Work around Coverity warning that would not trigger in practice.

 * Built-in Git subcommands are supplied the repository object to work
   with; they learned to do the same when they invoke sub-subcommands.

 * Drop support for ancient environments in various CI jobs.

 * Isolate the reftable subsystem from the rest of Git's codebase by
   using fewer pieces of Git's infrastructure.

 * Optimize reading random references out of the reftable backend by
   allowing reuse of iterator objects.

 * Backport oss-fuzz tests to our codebase.

 * Introduce a new repository extension to prevent older Git versions
   from mis-interpreting worktrees created with relative paths.

 * Yet another "pass the repository through the callchain" topic.

 * "git describe" learned to stop digging the history needlessly
   deeper.

 * Build procedure update plus introduction of Meson based builds.

 * Recent reftable updates mistook a NULL return from a request for
   0-byte allocation as OOM and died unnecessarily, which has been
   corrected.

 * Reftable backend adds check for upper limit of log's update_index.

 * Start working to make the codebase buildable with -Wsign-compare.

 * Regression fix for 'show-index' when run outside of a repository.

 * The meson-build procedure is integrated into CI to catch and
   prevent bitrotting.

 * "git refs migrate" learned to also migrate the reflog data across
   backends.

 * The developer documentation has been updated to give the latest
   info on gitk and git-gui maintainer.

 * CI jobs that run threaded programs under LSan has been giving false
   positives from time to time, which has been worked around.

Fixes since v2.47
-----------------

 * Doc update to clarify how periodical maintenance are scheduled,
   spread across time to avoid thundering herds.

 * Use after free and double freeing at the end in "git log -L... -p"
   had been identified and fixed.

 * On macOS, fsmonitor can fall into a race condition that results in
   a client waiting forever to be notified about an event that has
   already happened.  This problem has been corrected.

 * "git maintenance start" crashed due to an uninitialized variable
   reference, which has been corrected.

 * Fail gracefully instead of crashing when attempting to write the
   contents of a corrupt in-core index as a tree object.

 * A "git fetch" from the superproject going down to a submodule used
   a wrong remote when the default remote names are set differently
   between them.

 * Fixes compile time warnings with 64-bit MSVC.

 * Teaches 'shortlog' to explicitly use SHA-1 when operating outside
   of a repository.

 * Fix 'git grep' regression on macOS by disabling lookahead when
   encountering invalid UTF-8 byte sequences.

 * The dumb-http code regressed when the result of re-indexing a pack
   yielded an *.idx file that differs in content from the *.idx file
   it downloaded from the remote. This has been corrected by no longer
   relying on the *.idx file we got from the remote.

 * When called with '--left-right' and '--use-bitmap-index', 'rev-list'
   will produce output without any left/right markers, which has been
   corrected.

 * More leakfixes.

 * Test modernization.

 * The "--shallow-exclude=<ref>" option to various history transfer
   commands takes a ref, not an arbitrary revision.

 * A regression where commit objects missing from a commit-graph can
   cause an infinite loop when doing a fetch in a partial clone has
   been fixed.

 * The MinGW compatibility layer has been taught to support POSIX
   semantics for atomic renames when other process(es) have a file
   opened at the destination path.

 * "git gc" discards any objects that are outside promisor packs that
   are referred to by an object in a promisor pack, and we do not
   refetch them from the promisor at runtime, resulting an unusable
   repository.  Work around it by including these objects in the
   referring promisor pack at the receiving end of the fetch.

 * Avoid build/test breakage on a system without working malloc debug
   support dynamic library.
   (merge 72ad6dc368 jk/test-malloc-debug-check later to maint).

 * Double-free fix.
   (merge fe17a25905 jk/fetch-prefetch-double-free-fix later to maint).

 * Use of some uninitialized variables in "git difftool" has been
   corrected.

 * Object reuse code based on multi-pack-index sent an unwanted copy
   of object.
   (merge e199290592 tb/multi-pack-reuse-dupfix later to maint).

 * "git fast-import" can be tricked into a replace ref that maps an
   object to itself, which is a useless thing to do.
   (merge 5e904f1a4a en/fast-import-avoid-self-replace later to maint).

 * The ref-transaction hook triggered for reflog updates, which has
   been corrected.
   (merge b886db48c6 kn/ref-transaction-hook-with-reflog later to maint).

 * Give a bit of advice/hint message when "git maintenance" stops finding a
   lock file left by another instance that still is potentially running.
   (merge ba874d1dac ps/gc-stale-lock-warning later to maint).

 * Use the right helper program to measure file size in performance tests.
   (merge 3f97f1bce6 tb/use-test-file-size-more later to maint).

 * A double-free that may not trigger in practice by luck has been
   corrected in the reference resolution code.
   (merge b6318cf23a sj/refs-symref-referent-fix later to maint).

 * The sequencer failed to honor core.commentString in some places.

 * Describe a case where an option value needs to be spelled as a
   separate argument, i.e. "--opt val", not "--opt=val".
   (merge 1bc1e94091 jc/doc-opt-tilde-expand later to maint).

 * Loosen overly strict ownership check introduced in the recent past,
   to keep the promise "cloning a suspicious repository is a safe
   first step to inspect it".
   (merge 0ffb5a6bf1 bc/allow-upload-pack-from-other-people later to maint).

 * "git fast-import" learned to reject paths with ".."  and \ 
"." as
   their components to avoid creating invalid tree objects.
   (merge 8cb4c6e62f en/fast-import-verify-path later to maint).

 * The --ancestry-path option is designed to be given a commit that is
   on the path, which was not documented, which has been corrected.
   (merge bc1a980759 kk/doc-ancestry-path later to maint).

 * "git tag" has been taught to refuse to create refs/tags/HEAD
   since such a tag will be confusing in the context of the UI provided by
   the Git Porcelain commands.
   (merge bbd445d5ef jc/forbid-head-as-tagname later to maint).

 * The advice messages now tell the newer 'git config set' command to
   set the advice.token configuration variable to squelch a message.
   (merge 6c397d0104 bf/explicit-config-set-in-advice-messages later to maint).

 * The syntax ":/<text>" to name the latest commit with the matching
   text was broken with a recent change, which has been corrected.
   (merge 0ff919e87a ps/commit-with-message-syntax-fix later to maint).

 * Fix performance regression of a recent "fatten promisor pack with
   local objects" protection against an unwanted gc.

 * "git log -p --remerge-diff --reverse" was completely broken.
   (merge f94bfa1516 js/log-remerge-keep-ancestry later to maint).

 * "git bundle create" with an annotated tag on the positive end of
   the revision range had a workaround code for older limitation in
   the revision walker, which has become unnecessary.
   (merge dd1072dfa8 tc/bundle-with-tag-remove-workaround later to maint).

 * GitLab CI updates.
   (merge c6b43f663e ps/ci-gitlab-update later to maint).

 * Code to reuse objects based on bitmap contents have been tightened
   to avoid race condition even when multiple packs are involved.
   (merge 62b3ec8a3f tb/bitmap-fix-pack-reuse later to maint).

 * An earlier "csum-file checksum does not have to be computed with
   sha1dc" topic had a few code paths that had initialized an
   implementation of a hash function to be used by an unmatching hash
   by mistake, which have been corrected.
   (merge 599a63409b ps/weak-sha1-for-tail-sum-fix later to maint).

 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
   (merge 77af53f56f aa/t7300-modernize later to maint).
   (merge dcd590a39d bf/t-readme-mention-reftable later to maint).

Git 2.25 Release Notes
======================

Updates since v2.24
-------------------

Backward compatibility notes

UI, Workflows & Features

 * A tutorial on object enumeration has been added.

 * The branch description ("git branch --edit-description") has been
   used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch
   command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be
   filled.

 * "git rebase --preserve-merges" has been marked as deprecated; this
   release stops advertising it in the "git rebase -h" output.

 * The code to generate multi-pack index learned to show (or not to
   show) progress indicators.

 * "git apply --3way" learned to honor merge.conflictStyle
   configuration variable, like merges would.

 * The custom format for "git log --format=<format>" learned the l/L
   placeholder that is similar to e/E that fills in the e-mail
   address, but only the local part on the left side of '@'.

 * Documentation pages for "git shortlog" now list commit limiting
   options explicitly.

 * The patterns to detect function boundary for Elixir language has
   been added.

 * The completion script (in contrib/) learned that the "--onto"
   option of "git rebase" can take its argument as the value of the
   option.

 * The userdiff machinery has been taught that "async def" is another
   way to begin a "function" in Python.

 * "git range-diff" learned to take the \ 
"--notes=<ref>" and the
   "--no-notes" options to control the commit notes included in the
   log message that gets compared.

 * "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" run outside of any working tree did
   not error out, which has been corrected.

 * A few commands learned to take the pathspec from the standard input
   or a named file, instead of taking it as the command line
   arguments, with the "--pathspec-from-file" option.

 * "git submodule" learned a subcommand "set-url".

 * "git log" family learned "--pretty=reference" that gives \ 
the name
   of a commit in the format that is often used to refer to it in log
   messages.

 * The interaction between "git clone --recurse-submodules" and
   alternate object store was ill-designed.  The documentation and
   code have been taught to make more clear recommendations when the
   users see failures.

 * Management of sparsely checked-out working tree has gained a
   dedicated "sparse-checkout" command.

 * Miscellaneous small UX improvements on "git-p4".

 * "git sparse-checkout list" subcommand learned to give its output in
   a more concise form when the "cone" mode is in effect.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

 * Debugging support for lazy cloning has been a bit improved.

 * Move the definition of a set of bitmask constants from 0ctal
   literal to (1U<<count) notation.

 * Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues.

 * Crufty code and logic accumulated over time around the object
   parsing and low-level object access used in "git fsck" have been
   cleaned up.

 * The implementation of "git log --graph" got refactored and then its
   output got simplified.

 * Follow recent push to move API docs from Documentation/ to header
   files and update config.h

 * "git bundle" has been taught to use the parse options API.  "git
   bundle verify" learned "--quiet" and "git bundle \ 
create" learned
   options to control the progress output.

 * Handling of commit objects that use non UTF-8 encoding during
   "rebase -i" has been improved.

 * The beginning of rewriting "git add -i" in C.

 * A label used in the todo list that are generated by "git rebase
   --rebase-merges" is used as a part of a refname; the logic to come
   up with the label has been tightened to avoid names that cannot be
   used as such.

 * The logic to avoid duplicate label names generated by "git rebase
   --rebase-merges" forgot that the machinery itself uses "onto" as a
   label name, which must be avoided by auto-generated labels, which
   has been corrected.

 * We have had compatibility fallback macro definitions for "PRIuMAX",
   "PRIu32", etc. but did not for "PRIdMAX", while the code \ 
used the
   last one apparently without any hiccup reported recently.  The
   fallback macro definitions for these <inttypes.h> macros that must
   appear in C99 systems have been removed.

 * Recently we have declared that GIT_TEST_* variables take the
   usual boolean values (it used to be that some used "non-empty
   means true" and taking GIT_TEST_VAR=YesPlease as true); make
   sure we notice and fail when non-bool strings are given to
   these variables.

 * Users of oneway_merge() (like "reset --hard") learned to take
   advantage of fsmonitor to avoid unnecessary lstat(2) calls.

 * Performance tweak on "git push" into a repository with many refs
   that point at objects we have never heard of.

 * PerfTest fix to avoid stale result mixed up with the latest round
   of test results.

 * Hide lower-level verify_signed-buffer() API as a pure helper to
   implement the public check_signature() function, in order to
   encourage new callers to use the correct and more strict
   validation.

 * Unnecessary reading of state variables back from the disk during
   sequencer operation has been reduced.

 * The code has been made to avoid gmtime() and localtime() and prefer
   their reentrant counterparts.

 * In a repository with many packfiles, the cost of the procedure that
   avoids registering the same packfile twice was unnecessarily high
   by using an inefficient search algorithm, which has been corrected.

 * Redo "git name-rev" to avoid recursive calls.

 * FreeBSD CI support via Cirrus-CI has been added.

Fixes since v2.24
-----------------

 * "rebase -i" ceased to run post-commit hook by mistake in an earlier
   update, which has been corrected.

 * "git notes copy $original" ought to copy the notes attached to the
   original object to HEAD, but a mistaken tightening to command line
   parameter validation made earlier disabled that feature by mistake.

 * When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root
   directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that
   as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has
   been corrected.

 * Code clean-up and a bugfix in the logic used to tell worktree local
   and repository global refs apart.

 * "git stash save" in a working tree that is sparsely checked out
   mistakenly removed paths that are outside the area of interest.

 * "git rev-parse --git-path HEAD.lock" did not give the right path
   when run in a secondary worktree.

 * "git merge --no-commit" needs "--no-ff" if you do not \ 
want to move
   HEAD, which has been corrected in the manual page for "git bisect".

 * "git worktree add" internally calls "reset --hard" that \ 
should not
   descend into submodules, even when submodule.recurse configuration
   is set, but it was affected.  This has been corrected.

 * Messages from die() etc. can be mixed up from multiple processes
   without even line buffering on Windows, which has been worked
   around.

 * HTTP transport had possible allocator/deallocator mismatch, which
   has been corrected.

 * The watchman integration for fsmonitor was racy, which has been
   corrected to be more conservative.

 * Fetching from multiple remotes into the same repository in parallel
   had a bad interaction with the recent change to (optionally) update
   the commit-graph after a fetch job finishes, as these parallel
   fetches compete with each other.  Which has been corrected.

 * Recent update to "git stash pop" made the command empty the index
   when run with the "--quiet" option, which has been corrected.

 * "git fetch" codepath had a big "do not lazily fetch missing objects
   when I ask if something exists" switch.  This has been corrected by
   marking the "does this thing exist?" calls with "if not please \ 
do not
   lazily fetch it" flag.

 * Test update to avoid wasted cycles.

 * Error handling after "git push" finishes sending the packdata and
   waits for the response to the remote side has been improved.

 * Some codepaths in "gitweb" that forgot to escape URLs generated
   based on end-user input have been corrected.

 * CI jobs for macOS has been made less chatty when updating perforce
   package used during testing.

 * "git unpack-objects" used to show progress based only on the number
   of received and unpacked objects, which stalled when it has to
   handle an unusually large object.  It now shows the throughput as
   well.

 * The sequencer machinery compared the HEAD and the state it is
   attempting to commit to decide if the result would be a no-op
   commit, even when amending a commit, which was incorrect, and
   has been corrected.

 * The code to parse GPG output used to assume incorrectly that the
   finterprint for the primary key would always be present for a valid
   signature, which has been corrected.

 * "git submodule status" and "git submodule status \ 
--cached" show
   different things, but the documentation did not cover them
   correctly, which has been corrected.

 * "git reset --patch $object" without any pathspec should allow a
   tree object to be given, but incorrectly required a committish,
   which has been corrected.

 * "git submodule status" that is run from a subdirectory of the
   superproject did not work well, which has been corrected.

 * The revision walking machinery uses resources like per-object flag
   bits that need to be reset before a new iteration of walking
   begins, but the resources related to topological walk were not
   cleared correctly, which has been corrected.

 * TravisCI update.

 * While running "revert" or "cherry-pick --edit" for multiple
   commits, a recent regression incorrectly detected "nothing to
   commit, working tree clean", instead of replaying the commits,
   which has been corrected.

 * Work around a issue where a FD that is left open when spawning a
   child process and is kept open in the child can interfere with the
   operation in the parent process on Windows.

 * One kind of progress messages were always given during commit-graph
   generation, instead of following the "if it takes more than two
   seconds, show progress" pattern, which has been corrected.

 * "git rebase" did not work well when format.useAutoBase
   configuration variable is set, which has been corrected.

 * The "diff" machinery learned not to lose added/removed blank lines
   in the context when --ignore-blank-lines and --function-context are
   used at the same time.

 * The test on "fast-import" used to get stuck when \ 
"fast-import" died
   in the middle.

 * "git format-patch" can take a set of configured format.notes values
   to specify which notes refs to use in the log message part of the
   output.  The behaviour of this was not consistent with multiple
   --notes command line options, which has been corrected.

 * "git p4" used to ignore lfs.storage configuration variable, which
   has been corrected.

 * Assorted fixes to the directory traversal API.

 * Forbid pathnames that the platform's filesystem cannot represent on
   MinGW.

 * "git rebase --signoff" stopped working when the command was written
   in C, which has been corrected.

 * An earlier update to Git for Windows declared that a tree object is
   invalid if it has a path component with backslash in it, which was
   overly strict, which has been corrected.  The only protection the
   Windows users need is to prevent such path (or any path that their
   filesystem cannot check out) from entering the index.

 * The code to write split commit-graph file(s) upon fetching computed
   bogus value for the parameter used in splitting the resulting
   files, which has been corrected.

 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

Log message:
git: updated to 2.24.0

Git 2.24 Release Notes
======================

Updates since v2.23
-------------------

Backward compatibility note

 * "filter-branch" is showing its age and alternatives are available.
   From this release, we started to discourage its use and hint
   people about filter-repo.

UI, Workflows & Features

 * We now have an active interim maintainer for the Git-Gui part of
   the system.  Praise and thank Pratyush Yadav for volunteering.

 * The command line parser learned "--end-of-options" notation; the
   standard convention for scripters to have hardcoded set of options
   first on the command line, and force the command to treat end-user
   input as non-options, has been to use "--" as the delimiter, but
   that would not work for commands that use "--" as a delimiter
   between revs and pathspec.

 * A mechanism to affect the default setting for a (related) group of
   configuration variables is introduced.

 * "git fetch" learned "--set-upstream" option to help those \ 
who first
   clone from their private fork they intend to push to, add the true
   upstream via "git remote add" and then "git fetch" from it.

 * Device-tree files learned their own userdiff patterns.
   (merge 3c81760bc6 sb/userdiff-dts later to maint).

 * "git rebase --rebase-merges" learned to drive different merge
   strategies and pass strategy specific options to them.

 * A new "pre-merge-commit" hook has been introduced.

 * Command line completion updates for "git -c var.name=val" have been
   added.

 * The lazy clone machinery has been taught that there can be more
   than one promisor remote and consult them in order when downloading
   missing objects on demand.

 * The list-objects-filter API (used to create a sparse/lazy clone)
   learned to take a combined filter specification.

 * The documentation and tests for "git format-patch" have been
   cleaned up.

 * On Windows, the root level of UNC share is now allowed to be used
   just like any other directory.

 * The command line completion support (in contrib/) learned about the
   "--skip" option of "git revert" and "git \ 
cherry-pick".

 * "git rebase --keep-base <upstream>" tries to find the \ 
original base
   of the topic being rebased and rebase on top of that same base,
   which is useful when running the "git rebase -i" (and its limited
   variant "git rebase -x").

   The command also has learned to fast-forward in more cases where it
   can instead of replaying to recreate identical commits.

 * A configuration variable tells "git fetch" to write the commit
   graph after finishing.

 * "git add -i" has been taught to show the total number of hunks and
   the hunks that has been processed so far when showing prompts.

 * "git fetch --jobs=<n>" allowed <n> parallel jobs when \ 
fetching
   submodules, but this did not apply to "git fetch --multiple" that
   fetches from multiple remote repositories.  It now does.

 * The installation instruction for zsh completion script (in
   contrib/) has been a bit improved.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

 * The code to write commit-graph over given commit object names has
   been made a bit more robust.

 * The first line of verbose output from each test piece now carries
   the test name and number to help scanning with eyeballs.

 * Further clean-up of the initialization code.

 * xmalloc() used to have a mechanism to ditch memory and address
   space resources as the last resort upon seeing an allocation
   failure from the underlying malloc(), which made the code complex
   and thread-unsafe with dubious benefit, as major memory resource
   users already do limit their uses with various other mechanisms.
   It has been simplified away.

 * Unnecessary full-tree diff in "git log -L" machinery has been
   optimized away.

 * The http transport lacked some optimization the native transports
   learned to avoid unnecessary ref advertisement, which has been
   corrected.

 * Preparation for SHA-256 upgrade continues in the test department.
   (merge 0c37c41d13 bc/hash-independent-tests-part-5 later to maint).

 * The memory ownership model of the "git fast-import" got
   straightened out.

 * Output from trace2 subsystem is formatted more prettily now.

 * The internal code originally invented for ".gitignore" processing
   got reshuffled and renamed to make it less tied to "excluding" and
   stress more that it is about "matching", as it has been reused for
   things like sparse checkout specification that want to check if a
   path is "included".

 * "git stash" learned to write refreshed index back to disk.

 * Coccinelle checks are done on more source files than before now.

 * The cache-tree code has been taught to be less aggressive in
   attempting to see if a tree object it computed already exists in
   the repository.

 * The code to parse and use the commit-graph file has been made more
   robust against corrupted input.

 * The hg-to-git script (in contrib/) has been updated to work with
   Python 3.

 * Update the way build artifacts in t/helper/ directory are ignored.

 * Preparation for SHA-256 upgrade continues.

 * "git log --graph" for an octopus merge is sometimes colored
   incorrectly, which is demonstrated and documented but not yet
   fixed.

 * The trace2 output, when sending them to files in a designated
   directory, can populate the directory with too many files; a
   mechanism is introduced to set the maximum number of files and
   discard further logs when the maximum is reached.

 * We have adopted a Code-of-conduct document.
   (merge 3f9ef874a7 jk/coc later to maint).

Fixes since v2.23
-----------------

 * "git grep --recurse-submodules" that looks at the working tree
   files looked at the contents in the index in submodules, instead of
   files in the working tree.
   (merge 6a289d45c0 mt/grep-submodules-working-tree later to maint).

 * Codepaths to walk tree objects have been audited for integer
   overflows and hardened.
   (merge 5aa02f9868 jk/tree-walk-overflow later to maint).

 * "git pack-refs" can lose refs that are created while running, which
   is getting corrected.
   (merge a613d4f817 sc/pack-refs-deletion-racefix later to maint).

 * "git checkout" and "git restore" to re-populate the index \ 
from a
   tree-ish (typically HEAD) did not work correctly for a path that
   was removed and then added again with the intent-to-add bit, when
   the corresponding working tree file was empty.  This has been
   corrected.

 * Compilation fix.
   (merge 70597e8386 rs/nedalloc-fixlets later to maint).

 * "git gui" learned to call the clean-up procedure before exiting.
   (merge 0d88f3d2c5 py/git-gui-do-quit later to maint).

 * We promoted the "indent heuristics" that decides where to split
   diff hunks from experimental to the default a few years ago, but
   some stale documentation still marked it as experimental, which has
   been corrected.
   (merge 64e5e1fba1 sg/diff-indent-heuristic-non-experimental later to maint).

 * Fix a mismerge that happened in 2.22 timeframe.
   (merge acb7da05ac en/checkout-mismerge-fix later to maint).

 * "git archive" recorded incorrect length in extended pax header in
   some corner cases, which has been corrected.
   (merge 71d41ff651 rs/pax-extended-header-length-fix later to maint).

 * On-demand object fetching in lazy clone incorrectly tried to fetch
   commits from submodule projects, while still working in the
   superproject, which has been corrected.
   (merge a63694f523 jt/diff-lazy-fetch-submodule-fix later to maint).

 * Prepare get_short_oid() codepath to be thread-safe.
   (merge 7cfcb16b0e rs/sort-oid-array-thread-safe later to maint).

 * "for-each-ref" and friends that show refs did not protect themselves
   against ancient tags that did not record tagger names when asked to
   show "%(taggername)", which have been corrected.
   (merge 8b3f33ef11 mp/for-each-ref-missing-name-or-email later to maint).

 * The "git am" based backend of "git rebase" ignored the \ 
result of
   updating ".gitattributes" done in one step when replaying
   subsequent steps.
   (merge 2c65d90f75 bc/reread-attributes-during-rebase later to maint).

 * Tell cURL library to use the same malloc() implementation, with the
   xmalloc() wrapper, as the rest of the system, for consistency.
   (merge 93b980e58f cb/curl-use-xmalloc later to maint).

 * Build fix to adjust .gitignore to unignore a path that we started to track.
   (merge aac6ff7b5b js/visual-studio later to maint).

 * A few implementation fixes in the notes API.
   (merge 60fe477a0b mh/notes-duplicate-entries later to maint).

 * Fix an earlier regression to "git push --all" which should have
   been forbidden when the target remote repository is set to be a
   mirror.
   (merge 8e4c8af058 tg/push-all-in-mirror-forbidden later to maint).

 * Fix an earlier regression in the test suite, which mistakenly
   stopped running HTTPD tests.
   (merge 3960290675 sg/git-test-boolean later to maint).

 * "git rebase --autostash <upstream> <branch>", when \ 
<branch> is
   different from the current branch, incorrectly moved the tip of the
   current branch, which has been corrected.
   (merge bf1e28e0ad bw/rebase-autostash-keep-current-branch later to maint).

 * Update support for Asciidoctor documentation toolchain.
   (merge 83b0b8953e ma/asciidoctor-refmiscinfo later to maint).

 * Start using DocBook 5 (instead of DocBook 4.5) as Asciidoctor 2.0
   no longer works with the older one.
   (merge f6461b82b9 bc/doc-use-docbook-5 later to maint).

 * The markup used in user-manual has been updated to work better with
   asciidoctor.
   (merge c4d2f6143a ma/user-manual-markup-update later to maint).

 * Make sure the grep machinery does not abort when seeing a payload
   that is not UTF-8 even when JIT is not in use with PCRE1.
   (merge ad7c543e3b cb/skip-utf8-check-with-pcre1 later to maint).

 * The name of the blob object that stores the filter specification
   for sparse cloning/fetching was interpreted in a wrong place in the
   code, causing Git to abort.

 * "git log --decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>" was incorrectly
   overruled when the "--simplify-by-decoration" option is used, which
   has been corrected.
   (merge 0cc7380d88 rs/simplify-by-deco-with-deco-refs-exclude later to maint).

 * The "upload-pack" (the counterpart of "git fetch") needs \ 
to disable
   commit-graph when responding to a shallow clone/fetch request, but
   the way this was done made Git panic, which has been corrected.

 * The object traversal machinery has been optimized not to load tree
   objects when we are only interested in commit history.
   (merge 72ed80c784 jk/list-objects-optim-wo-trees later to maint).

 * The object name parser for "Nth parent" syntax has been made more
   robust against integer overflows.
   (merge 59fa5f5a25 rs/nth-parent-parse later to maint).

 * The code used in following tags in "git fetch" has been optimized.
   (merge b7e2d8bca5 ms/fetch-follow-tag-optim later to maint).

 * Regression fix for progress output.
   (merge 2bb74b53a4 sg/progress-fix later to maint).

 * A bug in merge-recursive code that triggers when a branch with a
   symbolic link is merged with a branch that replaces it with a
   directory has been fixed.
   (merge 83e3ad3b12 jt/merge-recursive-symlink-is-not-a-dir-in-way later to maint).

 * The rename detection logic sorts a list of rename source candidates
   by similarity to pick the best candidate, which means that a tie
   between sources with the same similarity is broken by the original
   location in the original candidate list (which is sorted by path).
   Force the sorting by similarity done with a stable sort, which is
   not promised by system supplied qsort(3), to ensure consistent
   results across platforms.
   (merge 2049b8dc65 js/diff-rename-force-stable-sort later to maint).

 * The code to skip "UTF" and "UTF-" prefix, when computing \ 
an advice
   message, did not work correctly when the prefix was "UTF", which
   has been fixed.
   (merge b181676ce9 rs/convert-fix-utf-without-dash later to maint).

 * The author names taken from SVN repositories may have extra leading
   or trailing whitespaces, which are now munged away.
   (merge 4ddd4bddb1 tk/git-svn-trim-author-name later to maint).

 * "git rebase -i" showed a wrong HEAD while "reword" open \ 
the editor.
   (merge b0a3186140 pw/rebase-i-show-HEAD-to-reword later to maint).

 * A few simplification and bugfixes to PCRE interface.
   (merge c581e4a749 ab/pcre-jit-fixes later to maint).

 * PCRE fixes.
   (merge ff61681b46 cb/pcre1-cleanup later to maint).

 * "git range-diff" segfaulted when diff.noprefix configuration was
   used, as it blindly expected the patch it internally generates to
   have the standard a/ and b/ prefixes.  The command now forces the
   internal patch to be built without any prefix, not to be affected
   by any end-user configuration.
   (merge 937b76ed49 js/range-diff-noprefix later to maint).

 * "git stash apply" in a subdirectory of a secondary worktree failed
   to access the worktree correctly, which has been corrected.
   (merge dfd557c978 js/stash-apply-in-secondary-worktree later to maint).

 * The merge-recursive machinery is one of the most complex parts of
   the system that accumulated cruft over time.  This large series
   cleans up the implementation quite a bit.
   (merge b657047719 en/merge-recursive-cleanup later to maint).

 * Pretty-printed command line formatter (used in e.g. reporting the
   command being run by the tracing API) had a bug that lost an
   argument that is an empty string, which has been corrected.
   (merge ce2d7ed2fd gs/sq-quote-buf-pretty later to maint).

 * "git range-diff" failed to handle mode-only change, which has been
   corrected.
   (merge 2b6a9b13ca tg/range-diff-output-update later to maint).

 * Dev support update.
   (merge 4f3c1dc5d6 dl/allow-running-cocci-verbosely later to maint).

 * "git format-patch -o <outdir>" did an equivalent of \ 
"mkdir <outdir>"
   not "mkdir -p <outdir>", which was corrected.

 * "git stash save" lost local changes to submodules, which has been
   corrected.
   (merge 556895d0c8 jj/stash-reset-only-toplevel later to maint).

 * The atomic push over smart HTTP transport did not work, which has
   been corrected.
   (merge 6f1194246a bc/smart-http-atomic-push later to maint).

 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
