a merge commit. This has been updated to use a more modern and
human readable output that still is concise enough.
+ * "git rebase --rebase-merges" replaces its old "--preserve-merges"
+ option; the latter is now marked as deprecated.
+
+ * Error message given while cloning with --recurse-submodules has
+ been updated.
+
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The command line parser of "git commit-tree" has been rewritten to
use the parse-options API.
+ * Suggest GitGitGadget instead of submitGit as a way to submit
+ patches based on GitHub PR to us.
+
Fixes since v2.21
-----------------
now fixed.
(merge cd8e7593b9 jk/config-type-color-ends-with-lf later to maint).
+ * When the "clean" filter can reduce the size of a huge file in the
+ working tree down to a small "token" (a la Git LFS), there is no
+ point in allocating a huge scratch area upfront, but the buffer is
+ sized based on the original file size. The convert mechanism now
+ allocates very minimum and reallocates as it receives the output
+ from the clean filter process.
+ (merge 02156ab031 jh/resize-convert-scratch-buffer later to maint).
+
+ * "git rebase" uses the refs/rewritten/ hierarchy to store its
+ intermediate states, which inherently makes the hierarchy per
+ worktree, but it didn't quite work well.
+ (merge b9317d55a3 nd/rewritten-ref-is-per-worktree later to maint).
+
+ * "git log -L<from>,<to>:<path>" with "-s" did not suppress the patch
+ output as it should. This has been corrected.
+ (merge 05314efaea jk/line-log-with-patch later to maint).
+
+ * "git worktree add" used to do a "find an available name with stat
+ and then mkdir", which is race-prone. This has been fixed by using
+ mkdir and reacting to EEXIST in a loop.
+ (merge 7af01f2367 ms/worktree-add-atomic-mkdir later to maint).
+
+ * Build update for SHA-1 with collision detection.
+ (merge 07a20f569b jk/sha1dc later to maint).
+
* Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
