+Git v2.4.7 Release Notes
+========================
+
+Fixes since v2.4.6
+------------------
+
+ * A minor regression to "git fsck" in v2.2 era was fixed; it
+ complained about a body-less tag object when it lacked a
+ separator empty line after its header to separate it with a
+ non-existent body.
+
+ * We used to ask libCURL to use the most secure authentication method
+ available when talking to an HTTP proxy only when we were told to
+ talk to one via configuration variables. We now ask libCURL to
+ always use the most secure authentication method, because the user
+ can tell libCURL to use an HTTP proxy via an environment variable
+ without using configuration variables.
+
+ * When you say "!<ENTER>" while running say "git log", you'd confuse
+ yourself in the resulting shell, that may look as if you took
+ control back to the original shell you spawned "git log" from but
+ that isn't what is happening. To that new shell, we leaked
+ GIT_PAGER_IN_USE environment variable that was meant as a local
+ communication between the original "Git" and subprocesses that was
+ spawned by it after we launched the pager, which caused many
+ "interesting" things to happen, e.g. "git diff | cat" still paints
+ its output in color by default.
+
+ Stop leaking that environment variable to the pager's half of the
+ fork; we only need it on "Git" side when we spawn the pager.
+
+ * Avoid possible ssize_t to int truncation.
+
+ * "git config" failed to update the configuration file when the
+ underlying filesystem is incapable of renaming a file that is still
+ open.
+
+ * A minor bugfix when pack bitmap is used with "rev-list --count".
+
+ * An ancient test framework enhancement to allow color was not
+ entirely correct; this makes it work even when tput needs to read
+ from the ~/.terminfo under the user's real HOME directory.
+
+ * Fix a small bug in our use of umask() return value.
+
+ * "git rebase" did not exit with failure when format-patch it invoked
+ failed for whatever reason.
+
+ * Disable "have we lost a race with competing repack?" check while
+ receiving a huge object transfer that runs index-pack.
+
+Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
+clean-ups.
