 +Git v2.55 Release Notes
 +=======================
 +
 +UI, Workflows & Features
 +------------------------
 +
 + * Hook scripts defined via the configuration system can now be
 +   configured to run in parallel.
 +
 + * The userdiff driver for the Scheme language has been extended to
 +   cover other Lisp dialects.
 +
 + * Terminal control sequences coming over the sideband while talking
 +   to a remote repository are mostly disabled by default, except for
 +   ANSI color escape sequences.
 +
 + * "ort" merge backend improvements.
 +
 + * "git checkout -m another-branch" was invented to deal with local
 +   changes to paths that are different between the current and the new
 +   branch, but it gave only one chance to resolve conflicts.  The command
 +   was taught to create a stash to save the local changes.
 +
 + * A new builtin "git format-rev" is introduced for pretty formatting
 +   one revision expression per line or commit object names found in
 +   running text.
 +
 + * "git history" learned "fixup" command.
 +
 + * The internal URL parsing logic has been made accessible via a new
 +   subcommand "git url-parse".
 +
 + * Misspelt proxy URL (e.g., httt://...) did not trigger any warning
 +   or failure, which has been corrected.
 +
 +
 +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
 +--------------------------------------------------------------
 +
 + * Promisor remote handling has been refactored and fixed in
 +   preparation for auto-configuration of advertised remotes.
 +
 + * Rust support is enabled by default (but still allows opting out) in
 +   some future version of Git.
 +
 + * Preparation of the xdiff/ codebase to work with Rust.
 +
 + * Use a larger buffer size in the code paths to ingest pack stream.
 +
 + * Refactor service routines in the ref subsystem backends.
 +
 + * Shrink wasted memory in Myers diff that does not account for common
 +   prefix and suffix removal.
 +
 + * Enable expensive tests to catch topics that may cause breakages on
 +   integration branches closer to their origin in the contributor PR
 +   builds.
 +
 +
 +Fixes since v2.54
 +-----------------
 +
 + * Code clean-up to use the right instance of a repository instance in
 +   calls inside refs subsystem.
 +   (merge 57c590feb9 sp/refs-reduce-the-repository later to maint).
 +
 + * The check that implements the logic to see if an in-core cache-tree
 +   is fully ready to write out a tree object was broken, which has
 +   been corrected.
 +   (merge 521731213c dl/cache-tree-fully-valid-fix later to maint).
 +
 + * The test suite harness and many individual test scripts have been
 +   updated to work correctly when 'set -e' is in effect, which helps
 +   detect misspelled test commands.
 +   (merge ffe8005b9d ps/test-set-e-clean later to maint).
 +
 + * Revert a recent change that introduced a regression to help mksh users.
-    (merge 4a6ed9d09f js/ci-github-actions-update later to maint).
 +
 + * Update various GitHub Actions versions.
-    (merge b33bea27a2 js/t5564-socks-use-short-path later to maint).

 +   contents are still mmap()'ed.
-    (merge 0a6d29090c ps/clang-w-glibc-2.43-and-_Generic later to maint).
 +
 + * The 'git backfill' command now rejects revision-limiting options that
 +   are incompatible with its operation, uses standard documentation for
 +   revision ranges, and includes blobs from boundary commits by default
 +   to improve performance of subsequent operations.
 +   (merge a1ad4a0fca en/backfill-fixes-and-edges later to maint).
 +
 + * "git grep" update.
 +   (merge 9ff4b5ab1b rs/grep-column-only-match-fix later to maint).

-    (merge 0b72550110 js/mingw-no-nedmalloc later to maint).

 +   with "%d" (describe) in it, tried to update local branch HEAD by
 +   mistake, which has been corrected.
 +   (merge 106b6885c7 ag/rebase-update-refs-limit-to-branches later to maint).
 +
 + * Tweak the way how sideband messages from remote are printed while
 +   we talk with a remote repository to avoid tickling terminal
 +   emulator glitches.
 +   (merge 31e8fcabd8 rs/sideband-clear-line-before-print later to maint).
 +
 + * The configuration variable submodule.fetchJobs was not read correctly,
 +   which has been corrected.

 +   control character).
 +   (merge 09d86a3b98 en/diffstat-utf8-truncation-fix later to maint).
 +
 + * Some tests assume that bare repository accesses are by default
 +   allowed; rewrite some of them to avoid the assumption, rewrite

 +   (merge 985b38ca6c js/adjust-tests-to-explicitly-access-bare-repo later to maint).
 +
