-Git v2.11.1 Release Notes
-=========================
-
-Fixes since v2.11
------------------
-
- * The default Travis-CI configuration specifies newer P4 and GitLFS.
-
- * The character width table has been updated to match Unicode 9.0
-
- * Update the isatty() emulation for Windows by updating the previous
-   hack that depended on internals of (older) MSVC runtime.
-
- * "git rev-parse --symbolic" failed with a more recent notation like
-   "HEAD^-1" and "HEAD^!".
-
- * An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used
-   to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a
-   submodule directory there, which has been fixed..
-
- * The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the
-   superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed
-   out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small
-   project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable
-   number of refs.
-
- * "git push --dry-run --recurse-submodule=on-demand" wasn't
-   "--dry-run" in the submodules.
-
- * The output from "git worktree list" was made in readdir() order,
-   and was unstable.
-
- * mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode configuration variable did not apply
-   to built-in tools, but now it does.
-
- * "git p4" LFS support was broken when LFS stores an empty blob.
-
- * Fix a corner case in merge-recursive regression that crept in
-   during 2.10 development cycle.
-
- * Update the error messages from the dumb-http client when it fails
-   to obtain loose objects; we used to give sensible error message
-   only upon 404 but we now forbid unexpected redirects that needs to
-   be reported with something sensible.
-
- * When diff.renames configuration is on (and with Git 2.9 and later,
-   it is enabled by default, which made it worse), "git stash"
-   misbehaved if a file is removed and another file with a very
-   similar content is added.
-
- * "git diff --no-index" did not take "--no-abbrev" option.
-
- * "git difftool --dir-diff" had a minor regression when started from
-   a subdirectory, which has been fixed.
-
- * "git commit --allow-empty --only" (no pathspec) with dirty index
-   ought to be an acceptable way to create a new commit that does not
-   change any paths, but it was forbidden, perhaps because nobody
-   needed it so far.
-
- * A pathname that begins with "//" or "\\" on Windows is special but
-   path normalization logic was unaware of it.
-
- * "git pull --rebase", when there is no new commits on our side since
-   we forked from the upstream, should be able to fast-forward without
-   invoking "git rebase", but it didn't.
-
- * The way to specify hotkeys to "xxdiff" that is used by "git
-   mergetool" has been modernized to match recent versions of xxdiff.
-
- * Unlike "git am --abort", "git cherry-pick --abort" moved HEAD back
-   to where cherry-pick started while picking multiple changes, when
-   the cherry-pick stopped to ask for help from the user, and the user
-   did "git reset --hard" to a different commit in order to re-attempt
-   the operation.
-
- * Code cleanup in shallow boundary computation.
-
- * A recent update to receive-pack to make it easier to drop garbage
-   objects made it clear that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES cannot
-   have a pathname with a colon in it (no surprise!), and this in turn
-   made it impossible to push into a repository at such a path.  This
-   has been fixed by introducing a quoting mechanism used when
-   appending such a path to the colon-separated list.
-
- * The function usage_msg_opt() has been updated to say "fatal:"
-   before the custom message programs give, when they want to die
-   with a message about wrong command line options followed by the
-   standard usage string.
-
- * "git index-pack --stdin" needs an access to an existing repository,
-   but "git index-pack file.pack" to generate an .idx file that
-   corresponds to a packfile does not.
-
- * Fix for NDEBUG builds.
-
- * A lazy "git push" without refspec did not internally use a fully
-   specified refspec to perform 'current', 'simple', or 'upstream'
-   push, causing unnecessary "ambiguous ref" errors.
-
- * "git p4" misbehaved when swapping a directory and a symbolic link.
-
- * Even though an fix was attempted in Git 2.9.3 days, but running
-   "git difftool --dir-diff" from a subdirectory never worked. This
-   has been fixed.
-
- * "git p4" that tracks multile p4 paths imported a single changelist
-   that touches files in these multiple paths as one commit, followed
-   by many empty commits.  This has been fixed.
-
- * A potential but unlikely buffer overflow in Windows port has been
-   fixed.
-
- * When the http server gives an incomplete response to a smart-http
-   rpc call, it could lead to client waiting for a full response that
-   will never come.  Teach the client side to notice this condition
-   and abort the transfer.
-
- * Some platforms no longer understand "latin-1" that is still seen in
-   the wild in e-mail headers; replace them with "iso-8859-1" that is
-   more widely known when conversion fails from/to it.
-
- * Update the procedure to generate "tags" for developer support.
-
- * Update the definition of the MacOSX test environment used by
-   TravisCI.
-
- * A few git-svn updates.
-
- * Compression setting for producing packfiles were spread across
-   three codepaths, one of which did not honor any configuration.
-   Unify these so that all of them honor core.compression and
-   pack.compression variables the same way.
-
- * "git fast-import" sometimes mishandled while rebalancing notes
-   tree, which has been fixed.
-
- * Recent update to the default abbreviation length that auto-scales
-   lacked documentation update, which has been corrected.
-
- * Leakage of lockfiles in the config subsystem has been fixed.
-
- * 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".
-
- * "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.
-
- * "git blame --porcelain" misidentified the "previous" <commit, path>
-   pair (aka "source") when contents came from two or more files.
-
- * "git rebase -i" with a recent update started showing an incorrect
-   count when squashing more than 10 commits.
-
- * "git <cmd> @{push}" on a detached HEAD used to segfault; it has
-   been corrected to error out with a message.
-
- * Tighten a test to avoid mistaking an extended ERE regexp engine as
-   a PRE regexp engine.
-
- * 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.
-
-Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
