more widely known when conversion fails from/to it.
(merge df3755888b jc/latin-1 later to maint).
+ * "git grep" has been taught to optionally recurse into submodules.
+
+ * "git rm" used to refuse to remove a submodule when it has its own
+ git repository embedded in its working tree. It learned to move
+ the repository away to $GIT_DIR/modules/ of the superproject
+ instead, and allow the submodule to be deleted (as long as there
+ will be no loss of local modifications, that is).
+
+ * A recent updates to "git p4" was not usable for older p4 but it
+ could be made to work with minimum changes. Do so.
+
+ * "git diff" learned diff.interHunkContext configuration variable
+ that gives the default value for its --inter-hunk-context option.
+
+ * The prereleaseSuffix feature of version comparison that is used in
+ "git tag -l" did not correctly when two or more prereleases for the
+ same release were present (e.g. when 2.0, 2.0-beta1, and 2.0-beta2
+ are there and the code needs to compare 2.0-beta1 and 2.0-beta2).

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
superproject to .git/modules/ (and point the latter with the former
that is turned into a "gitdir:" file) has been added.
+ * "git push \\server\share\dir" has recently regressed and then
+ fixed. A test has retroactively been added for this breakage.
+
+ * Build updates for Cygwin.
+
+ * The implementation of "real_path()" was to go there with chdir(2)
+ and call getcwd(3), but this obviously wouldn't be usable in a
+ threaded environment. Rewrite it to manually resolve relative
+ paths including symbolic links in path components.
+
+ * Adjust documentation to help AsciiDoctor render better while not
+ breaking the rendering done by AsciiDoc.
+
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
* Leakage of lockfiles in the config subsystem has been fixed.
(merge c06fa62dfc nd/config-misc-fixes later to maint).
+ * It is natural that "git gc --auto" may not attempt to pack
+ everything into a single pack, and there is no point in warning
+ when the user has configured the system to use the pack bitmap,
+ leading to disabling further "gc".
+ (merge 1c409a705c dt/disable-bitmap-in-auto-gc later to maint).
+
+ * "git archive" did not read the standard configuration files, and
+ failed to notice a file that is marked as binary via the userdiff
+ driver configuration.
+ (merge 965cba2e7e jk/archive-zip-userdiff-config later to maint).
+
+ * "git blame --porcelain" misidentified the "previous" <commit, path>
+ pair (aka "source") when contents came from two or more files.
+ (merge 4e76832984 jk/blame-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * "git rebase -i" with a recent update started showing an incorrect
+ count when squashing more than 10 commits.
+ (merge 356b8ecff1 jk/rebase-i-squash-count-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git <cmd> @{push}" on a detached HEAD used to segfault; it has
+ been corrected to error out with a message.
+ (merge b10731f43d km/branch-get-push-while-detached later to maint).
+
+ * Running "git add a/b" when "a" is a submodule correctly errored
+ out, but without a meaningful error message.
+ (merge 2d81c48fa7 sb/pathspec-errors later to maint).
+
+ * Typing ^C to pager, which usually does not kill it, killed Git and
+ took the pager down as a collateral damage in certain process-tree
+ structure. This has been fixed.
+ (merge 46df6906f3 jk/execv-dashed-external later to maint).
+
+ * "git mergetool" without any pathspec on the command line that is
+ run from a subdirectory became no-op in Git v2.11 by mistake, which
+ has been fixed.
+
+ * Retire long unused/unmaintained gitview from the contrib/ area.
+ (merge 3120925c25 sb/remove-gitview later to maint).
+
+ * Tighten a test to avoid mistaking an extended ERE regexp engine as
+ a PRE regexp engine.
+ (merge 7675c7bd01 jk/grep-e-could-be-extended-beyond-posix later to maint).

* Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
