-Git v2.0.1 Release Notes
-========================
-
- * We used to unconditionally disable the pager in the pager process
-   we spawn to feed out output, but that prevented people who want to
-   run "less" within "less" from doing so.
-
- * Tools that read diagnostic output in our standard error stream do
-   not want to see terminal control sequence (e.g. erase-to-eol).
-   Detect them by checking if the standard error stream is connected
-   to a tty.
- * Reworded the error message given upon a failure to open an existing
-   loose object file due to e.g. permission issues; it was reported as
-   the object being corrupt, but that is not quite true.
-
- * "git log -2master" is a common typo that shows two commits starting
-   from whichever random branch that is not 'master' that happens to
-   be checked out currently.
-
- * The "%<(10,trunc)%s" pretty format specifier in the log family of
-   commands is used to truncate the string to a given length (e.g. 10
-   in the example) with padding to column-align the output, but did
-   not take into account that number of bytes and number of display
-   columns are different.
-
- * The "mailmap.file" configuration option did not support the tilde
-   expansion (i.e. ~user/path and ~/path).
-
- * The completion scripts (in contrib/) did not know about quite a few
-   options that are common between "git merge" and "git pull", and a
-   couple of options unique to "git merge".
-
- * "--ignore-space-change" option of "git apply" ignored the spaces
-   at the beginning of line too aggressively, which is inconsistent
-   with the option of the same name "diff" and "git diff" have.
-
- * "git blame" miscounted number of columns needed to show localized
-   timestamps, resulting in jaggy left-side-edge of the source code
-   lines in its output.
-
- * "git blame" assigned the blame to the copy in the working-tree if
-   the repository is set to core.autocrlf=input and the file used CRLF
-   line endings.
-
- * "git commit --allow-empty-message -C $commit" did not work when the
-   commit did not have any log message.
-
- * "git diff --find-copies-harder" sometimes pretended as if the mode
-   bits have changed for paths that are marked with assume-unchanged
-   bit.
-
- * "git format-patch" did not enforce the rule that the "--follow"
-   option from the log/diff family of commands must be used with
-   exactly one pathspec.
-
- * "git gc --auto" was recently changed to run in the background to
-   give control back early to the end-user sitting in front of the
-   terminal, but it forgot that housekeeping involving reflogs should
-   be done without other processes competing for accesses to the refs.
-
- * "git grep -O" to show the lines that hit in the pager did not work
-   well with case insensitive search.  We now spawn "less" with its
-   "-I" option when it is used as the pager (which is the default).
-
- * We used to disable threaded "git index-pack" on platforms without
-   thread-safe pread(); use a different workaround for such
-   platforms to allow threaded "git index-pack".
-
- * The error reporting from "git index-pack" has been improved to
-   distinguish missing objects from type errors.
-
- * "git mailinfo" used to read beyond the end of header string while
-   parsing an incoming e-mail message to extract the patch.
-
- * On a case insensitive filesystem, merge-recursive incorrectly
-   deleted the file that is to be renamed to a name that is the same
-   except for case differences.
-
- * "git pack-objects" unnecessarily copied the previous contents when
-   extending the hashtable, even though it will populate the table
-   from scratch anyway.
-
- * "git rerere forget" did not work well when merge.conflictstyle
-   was set to a non-default value.
-
- * "git remote rm" and "git remote prune" can involve removing many
-   refs at once, which is not a very efficient thing to do when very
-   many refs exist in the packed-refs file.
-
- * "git log --exclude=<glob> --all | git shortlog" worked as expected,
-   but "git shortlog --exclude=<glob> --all", which is supposed to be
-   identical to the above pipeline, was not accepted at the command
-   line argument parser level.
-
- * The autostash mode of "git rebase -i" did not restore the dirty
-   working tree state if the user aborted the interactive rebase by
-   emptying the insn sheet.
-
- * "git show -s" (i.e. show log message only) used to incorrectly emit
-   an extra blank line after a merge commit.
-
- * "git status", even though it is a read-only operation, tries to
-   update the index with refreshed lstat(2) info to optimize future
-   accesses to the working tree opportunistically, but this could
-   race with a "read-write" operation that modify the index while it
-   is running.  Detect such a race and avoid overwriting the index.
-
- * "git status" (and "git commit") behaved as if changes in a modified
-   submodule are not there if submodule.*.ignore configuration is set,
-   which was misleading.  The configuration is only to unclutter diff
-   output during the course of development, and should not to hide
-   changes in the "status" output to cause the users forget to commit
-   them.
-
- * The mode to run tests with HTTP server tests disabled was broken.
