+Git v2.39 Release Notes
+=======================
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+------------------------
+
+ * "git grep" learned to expand the sparse-index more lazily and on
+ demand in a sparse checkout.
+
+ * By default, use of fsmonitor on a repository on networked
+ filesystem is disabled. Add knobs to make it workable on macOS.
+
+ * After checking out a "branch" that is a symbolic-ref that points at
+ another branch, "git symbolic-ref HEAD" reports the underlying
+ branch, not the symbolic-ref the user gave checkout as argument.
+ The command learned the "--no-recurse" option to stop after
+ dereferencing a symbolic-ref only once.
+
+ * "git branch --edit-description @{-1}" is now a way to edit branch
+ description of the branch you were on before switching to the
+ current branch.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ * With a bit of header twiddling, use the native regexp library on
+ macOS instead of the compat/ one.
+
+ * Prepare for GNU [ef]grep that throw warning of their uses.
+
+ * Sources related to fuzz testing have been moved down to their own
+ directory.
+
+ * Most credential helpers ignored unknown entries in a credential
+ description, but a few died upon seeing them. The latter were
+ taught to ignore them, too
+
+ * "scalar unregister" in a repository that is already been
+ unregistered reported an error.
+
+ * Remove error detection from a function that fetches from promisor
+ remotes, and make it die when such a fetch fails to bring all the
+ requested objects, to give an early failure to various operations.
+
+ * Update CodingGuidelines to clarify what features to use and avoid
+ in C99.
- (merge 4a6ed30f96 vd/fix-unaligned-read-index-v4 later to maint).
+
+ * Avoid false-positive from LSan whose assumption may be broken with
+ higher optimization levels.
+
+ * Enable address and undefined sanitizer tasks at GitHub Actions CI.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.38
+-----------------
+
+ * The codepath that reads from the index v4 had unaligned memory
+ accesses, which has been corrected.
- (merge 02cb8b9ee3 ah/fsmonitor-daemon-usage-non-l10n later to maint).
+
+ * Fix messages incorrectly marked for translation.
- (merge 51b27747e5 jk/fsck-on-diet later to maint).
+
+ * "git fsck" failed to release contents of tree objects already used
+ from the memory, which has been fixed.
- (merge 3b910d6e29 jk/clone-allow-bare-and-o-together later to maint).
+
+ * "git clone" did not like to see the "--bare" and the "--origin"
+ options used together without a good reason.
- (merge 5a97b38109 jk/remote-rename-without-fetch-refspec later to maint).
+
+ * "git remote rename" failed to rename a remote without fetch
+ refspec, which has been corrected.
- (merge 3e367a5f2f ja/rebase-i-avoid-amending-self later to maint).
+
+ * Documentation on various Boolean GIT_* environment variables have
+ been clarified.
+ (merge 819fb68222 jc/environ-docs later to maint).
+
+ * "git rebase -i" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to a commit
+ itself, which has been corrected.
- (merge 92481d1b26 js/merge-ort-in-read-only-repo later to maint).
+
+ * "git multi-pack-index repack/expire" used to repack unreachable
+ cruft into a new pack, which have been corrected.
+ (merge b62ad5681f tb/midx-repack-ignore-cruft-packs later to maint).
+
+ * In read-only repositories, "git merge-tree" tried to come up with a
+ merge result tree object, which it failed (which is not wrong) and
+ led to a segfault (which is bad), which has been corrected.
- (merge 7a2d8ea47e rs/test-httpd-in-C-locale later to maint).
+
+ * Force C locale while running tests around httpd to make sure we can
+ find expected error messages in the log.
- (merge 3ef1494685 pw/mailinfo-b-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Fix a logic in "mailinfo -b" that miscomputed the length of a
+ substring, which lead to an out-of-bounds access.
- (merge 36fb0d07d8 pw/ssh-sign-report-errors later to maint).
+
+ * The codepath to sign learned to report errors when it fails to read
+ from "ssh-keygen".
- (merge 246526d019 rs/bisect-start-leakfix later to maint).
+
+ * Code clean-up that results in plugging a leak.
- (merge e288b3de35 jc/branch-description-unset later to maint).
+
+ * "GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description" resulted in failure,
+ which has been corrected.
- (merge 5e7c8b75e7 ab/test-malloc-with-sanitize-leak later to maint).
+
+ * The code to clean temporary object directories (used for
+ quarantine) tried to remove them inside its signal handler, which
+ was a no-no.
+ (merge 22613b25ec jc/tmp-objdir later to maint).
+
+ * Update comment in the Makefile about the RUNTIME_PREFIX config knob.
+ (merge ebb6c16607 dd/document-runtime-prefix-better later to maint).
+
+ * Clarify that "the sentence after <area>: prefix does not begin with
+ a capital letter" rule applies only to the commit title.
+ (merge 3991bb73dd jc/use-of-uc-in-log-messages later to maint).
+
+ * "git branch --edit-description" on an unborh branch misleadingly
+ said that no such branch exists, which has been corrected.
+ (merge bcfc82bd48 rj/branch-edit-desc-unborn later to maint).
+
+ * Work around older clang that warns against C99 zero initialization
+ syntax for struct.
+ (merge 54795d37d9 jh/struct-zero-init-with-older-clang later to maint).
+
+ * Giving "--invert-grep" and "--all-match" without "--grep" to the
+ "git log" command resulted in an attempt to access grep pattern
+ expression structure that has not been allocated, which has been
+ corrected.
+ (merge db84376f98 ab/grep-simplify-extended-expression later to maint).
+
+ * "git diff rev^!" did not show combined diff to go to the rev from
+ its parents.

+
+ * Allow configuration files in "protected" scopes to include other
+ configuration files.
+ (merge ecec57b3c9 gc/bare-repo-discovery later to maint).
+
+ * Give a bit more diversity to macOS CI by using sha1dc in one of the
+ jobs (the other one tests Apple Common Crypto).
+ (merge 1ad5c3df35 jc/ci-osx-with-sha1dc later to maint).
+
+ * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
