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 rebase -i" learned a few options that are known by "git
+ rebase" proper.
+
+ * "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".
+
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* 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.
+
+ * The effort to reimplement "git add -i" in C continues.
+
+ * 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
-----------------
mistakenly removed paths that are outside the area of interest.
(merge 4a58c3d7f7 js/update-index-ignore-removal-for-skip-worktree later to maint).
+ * "git rev-parse --git-path HEAD.lock" did not give the right path
+ when run in a secondary worktree.
+ (merge 76a53d640f js/git-path-head-dot-lock-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "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".
+ (merge 8dd327b246 ma/bisect-doc-sample-update later to maint).
+
+ * "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.
+ (merge 4782cf2ab6 pb/no-recursive-reset-hard-in-worktree-add later to maint).
+
+ * Messages from die() etc. can be mixed up from multiple processes
+ without even line buffering on Windows, which has been worked
+ around.
+ (merge 116d1fa6c6 js/vreportf-wo-buffering later to maint).
+
+ * 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.
+ (merge dd0b61f577 kw/fsmonitor-watchman-fix later to maint).
+
+ * 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.
+ (merge e0316695ec sg/skip-skipped-prereq later to maint).
+
+ * Error handling after "git push" finishes sending the packdata and
+ waits for the response to the remote side has been improved.
+ (merge ad7a403268 jk/send-pack-remote-failure later to maint).
+
+ * Some codepaths in "gitweb" that forgot to escape URLs generated
+ based on end-user input have been corrected.
+ (merge a376e37b2c jk/gitweb-anti-xss later to maint).
+
+ * CI jobs for macOS has been made less chatty when updating perforce
+ package used during testing.
+ (merge 0dbc4a0edf jc/azure-ci-osx-fix-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "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.
+ (merge bae60ba7e9 sg/unpack-progress-throughput later to maint).
+
+ * 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.
+ (merge 67a6ea6300 hi/gpg-optional-pkfp-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git submodule status" and "git submodule status --cached" show
+ different things, but the documentation did not cover them
+ correctly, which has been corrected.
+ (merge 8d483c8408 mg/doc-submodule-status-cached later to maint).
+
+ * "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.
+ (merge 1f3aea22c7 mg/submodule-status-from-a-subdirectory later to maint).
+
+ * 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.
+ (merge 0aa0c2b2ec mh/clear-topo-walk-upon-reset later to maint).
+
+ * TravisCI update.
+ (merge 176441bfb5 sg/osx-force-gcc-9 later to maint).
+
+ * 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.
+ (merge befd4f6a81 sg/assume-no-todo-update-in-cherry-pick later to maint).
+
+ * 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.
+ (merge 0bb313a552 rs/xdiff-ignore-ws-w-func-context later to maint).
+
+ * The test on "fast-import" used to get stuck when "fast-import" died
+ in the middle.
+ (merge 0d9b0d7885 sg/t9300-robustify later to maint).
+
+ * "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.
+ (merge e0f9095aaa dl/format-patch-notes-config-fixup later to maint).
+
+ * "git p4" used to ignore lfs.storage configuration variable, which
+ has been corrected.
+ (merge ea94b16fb8 rb/p4-lfs later to maint).
+
+ * Assorted fixes to the directory traversal API.
+ (merge 6836d2fe06 en/fill-directory-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * Forbid pathnames that the platform's filesystem cannot represent on
+ MinGW.
+ (merge 4dc42c6c18 js/mingw-reserved-filenames later to maint).
+
+ * "git rebase --signoff" stopped working when the command was written
+ in C, which has been corrected.
+ (merge 4fe7e43c53 en/rebase-signoff-fix later to maint).
+
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
