+Git 2.14 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Backward compatibility notes.
+
+ * Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for
+ 'everything matches' is still warned and Git asks users to use a
+ more explicit '.' for that instead. The hope is that existing
+ users will not mind this change, and eventually the warning can be
+ turned into a hard error, upgrading the deprecation into removal of
+ this (mis)feature. That is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming
+ release (yet).
+
+ * Git now avoids blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup
+ sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository. A corner case that
+ happens to work right now may be broken by a call to die("BUG").
+ We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there
+ might still be cases that need to be addressed--bug reports are
+ greatly appreciated.
+
+
+Updates since v2.13
+-------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * The colors in which "git status --short --branch" showed the names
+ of the current branch and its remote-tracking branch are now
+ configurable.
+
+ * "git clone" learned the "--no-tags" option not to fetch all tags
+ initially, and also set up the tagopt not to follow any tags in
+ subsequent fetches.
+
+ * "git archive --format=zip" learned to use zip64 extension when
+ necessary to go beyond the 4GB limit.
+ (merge 867e40ff3a rs/large-zip later to maint).
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * The default packed-git limit value has been raised on larger
+ platforms to save "git fetch" from a (recoverable) failure while
+ "gc" is running in parallel.
+
+ * Code to update the cache-tree has been tightened so that we won't
+ accidentally write out any 0{40} entry in the tree object.
+ (merge a96d3cc3f6 jk/no-null-sha1-in-cache-tree later to maint).
+
+ * Attempt to allow us notice "fishy" situation where we fail to
+ remove the temporary directory used during the test.
+
+ * Travis CI gained a task to format the documentation with both
+ AsciiDoc and AsciiDoctor.
+ (merge 505ad91304 ls/travis-doc-asciidoctor later to maint).
+
+ * Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our
+ historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot
+ represent some timestamp that the platform allows. Invent a
+ separate and dedicated timestamp_t (so that we can distingiuish
+ timestamps and a vanilla ulongs, which along is already a good
+ move), and then declare uintmax_t is the type to be used as the
+ timestamp_t.
+
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.13
+-----------------
+
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.13 in the maintenance
+track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
+notes for details).
+
+ * "git gc" did not interact well with "git worktree"-managed
+ per-worktree refs.
+
+ * "git cherry-pick" and other uses of the sequencer machinery
+ mishandled a trailer block whose last line is an incomplete line.
+ This has been fixed so that an additional sign-off etc. are added
+ after completing the existing incomplete line.
+ (merge 44dc738a39 jt/use-trailer-api-in-commands later to maint).
+
+ * The codepath in "git am" that is used when running "git rebase"
+ leaked memory held for the log message of the commits being rebased.
+ (merge 721f5f1e35 jk/am-leakfix later to maint).
+
+ * "git clone --config var=val" is a way to populate the
+ per-repository configuration file of the new repository, but it did
+ not work well when val is an empty string. This has been fixed.
+ (merge db4eca1fea jn/clone-add-empty-config-from-command-line later to maint).
+
+ * Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
+ (merge 515360f9e9 jn/credential-doc-on-clear later to maint).
+ (merge 0e6d899fee ab/aix-needs-compat-regex later to maint).
+ (merge e294e8959f jc/apply-fix-mismerge later to maint).
