-Git v2.7.1 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.7
-----------------
-
- * An earlier change in 2.5.x-era broke users' hooks and aliases by
-   exporting GIT_WORK_TREE to point at the root of the working tree,
-   interfering when they tried to use a different working tree without
-   setting GIT_WORK_TREE environment themselves.
-
- * The "exclude_list" structure has the usual "alloc, nr" pair of
-   fields to be used by ALLOC_GROW(), but clear_pattern_list() forgot
-   to reset 'alloc' to 0 when it cleared 'nr' to discard the managed
-   array.
-
- * "git send-email" was confused by escaped quotes stored in the alias
-   files saved by "mutt", which has been corrected.
-
- * A few unportable C construct have been spotted by clang compiler
-   and have been fixed.
-
- * The documentation has been updated to hint the connection between
-   the '--signoff' option and DCO.
-
- * "git reflog" incorrectly assumed that all objects that used to be
-   at the tip of a ref must be commits, which caused it to segfault.
-
- * The ignore mechanism saw a few regressions around untracked file
-   listing and sparse checkout selection areas in 2.7.0; the change
-   that is responsible for the regression has been reverted.
-
- * Some codepaths used fopen(3) when opening a fixed path in $GIT_DIR
-   (e.g. COMMIT_EDITMSG) that is meant to be left after the command is
-   done.  This however did not work well if the repository is set to
-   be shared with core.sharedRepository and the umask of the previous
-   user is tighter.  They have been made to work better by calling
-   unlink(2) and retrying after fopen(3) fails with EPERM.
-
- * Asking gitweb for a nonexistent commit left a warning in the server
-   log.
-
- * "git rebase", unlike all other callers of "gc --auto", did not
-   ignore the exit code from "gc --auto".
-
- * Many codepaths that run "gc --auto" before exiting kept packfiles
-   mapped and left the file descriptors to them open, which was not
-   friendly to systems that cannot remove files that are open.  They
-   now close the packs before doing so.
-
- * A recent optimization to filter-branch in v2.7.0 introduced a
-   regression when --prune-empty filter is used, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * The description for SANITY prerequisite the test suite uses has
-   been clarified both in the comment and in the implementation.
-
- * "git tag" started listing a tag "foo" as "tags/foo" when a branch
-   named "foo" exists in the same repository; remove this unnecessary
-   disambiguation, which is a regression introduced in v2.7.0.
-
- * The way "git svn" uses auth parameter was broken by Subversion
-   1.9.0 and later.
-
- * The "split" subcommand of "git subtree" (in contrib/) incorrectly
-   skipped merges when it shouldn't, which was corrected.
-
- * A few options of "git diff" did not work well when the command was
-   run from a subdirectory.
-
- * dirname() emulation has been added, as Msys2 lacks it.
-
- * The underlying machinery used by "ls-files -o" and other commands
-   have been taught not to create empty submodule ref cache for a
-   directory that is not a submodule.  This removes a ton of wasted
-   CPU cycles.
-
- * Drop a few old "todo" items by deciding that the change one of them
-   suggests is not such a good idea, and doing the change the other
-   one suggested to do.
-
- * Documentation for "git fetch --depth" has been updated for clarity.
-
- * The command line completion learned a handful of additional options
-   and command specific syntax.
-
-Also includes a handful of documentation and test updates.
