-Git v2.9.1 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.9
-----------------
-
- * When "git daemon" is run without --[init-]timeout specified, a
-   connection from a client that silently goes offline can hang around
-   for a long time, wasting resources.  The socket-level KEEPALIVE has
-   been enabled to allow the OS to notice such failed connections.
-
- * The commands in `git log` family take %C(auto) in a custom format
-   string.  This unconditionally turned the color on, ignoring
-   --no-color or with --color=auto when the output is not connected to
-   a tty; this was corrected to make the format truly behave as
-   "auto".
-
- * "git rev-list --count" whose walk-length is limited with "-n"
-   option did not work well with the counting optimized to look at the
-   bitmap index.
-
- * "git show -W" (extend hunks to cover the entire function, delimited
-   by lines that match the "funcname" pattern) used to show the entire
-   file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file,
-   which has been fixed.
-
- * The documentation set has been updated so that literal commands,
-   configuration variables and environment variables are consistently
-   typeset in fixed-width font and bold in manpages.
-
- * "git svn propset" subcommand that was added in 2.3 days is
-   documented now.
-
- * The documentation tries to consistently spell "GPG"; when
-   referring to the specific program name, "gpg" is used.
-
- * "git reflog" stopped upon seeing an entry that denotes a branch
-   creation event (aka "unborn"), which made it appear as if the
-   reflog was truncated.
-
- * The git-prompt scriptlet (in contrib/) was not friendly with those
-   who uses "set -u", which has been fixed.
-
- * A codepath that used alloca(3) to place an unbounded amount of data
-   on the stack has been updated to avoid doing so.
-
- * "git update-index --add --chmod=+x file" may be usable as an escape
-   hatch, but not a friendly thing to force for people who do need to
-   use it regularly.  "git add --chmod=+x file" can be used instead.
-
- * Build improvements for gnome-keyring (in contrib/)
-
- * "git status" used to say "working directory" when it meant "working
-   tree".
-
- * Comments about misbehaving FreeBSD shells have been clarified with
-   the version number (9.x and before are broken, newer ones are OK).
-
- * "git cherry-pick A" worked on an unborn branch, but "git
-   cherry-pick A..B" didn't.
-
- * "git add -i/-p" learned to honor diff.compactionHeuristic
-   experimental knob, so that the user can work on the same hunk split
-   as "git diff" output.
-
- * "log --graph --format=" learned that "%>|(N)" specifies the width
-   relative to the terminal's left edge, not relative to the area to
-   draw text that is to the right of the ancestry-graph section.  It
-   also now accepts negative N that means the column limit is relative
-   to the right border.
-
- * The ownership rule for the piece of memory that hold references to
-   be fetched in "git fetch" was screwy, which has been cleaned up.
-
- * "git bisect" makes an internal call to "git diff-tree" when
-   bisection finds the culprit, but this call did not initialize the
-   data structure to pass to the diff-tree API correctly.
-
- * Formats of the various data (and how to validate them) where we use
-   GPG signature have been documented.
-
- * Fix an unintended regression in v2.9 that breaks "clone --depth"
-   that recurses down to submodules by forcing the submodules to also
-   be cloned shallowly, which many server instances that host upstream
-   of the submodules are not prepared for.
-
- * Fix unnecessarily waste in the idiomatic use of ': ${VAR=default}'
-   to set the default value, without enclosing it in double quotes.
-
- * Some platform-specific code had non-ANSI strict declarations of C
-   functions that do not take any parameters, which has been
-   corrected.
-
- * The internal code used to show local timezone offset is not
-   prepared to handle timestamps beyond year 2100, and gave a
-   bogus offset value to the caller.  Use a more benign looking
-   +0000 instead and let "git log" going in such a case, instead
-   of aborting.
-
- * One among four invocations of readlink(1) in our test suite has
-   been rewritten so that the test can run on systems without the
-   command (others are in valgrind test framework and t9802).
-
- * t/perf needs /usr/bin/time with GNU extension; the invocation of it
-   is updated to "gtime" on Darwin.
-
- * A bug, which caused "git p4" while running under verbose mode to
-   report paths that are omitted due to branch prefix incorrectly, has
-   been fixed; the command said "Ignoring file outside of prefix" for
-   paths that are _inside_.
-
- * The top level documentation "git help git" still pointed at the
-   documentation set hosted at now-defunct google-code repository.
-   Update it to point to https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git.html
-   instead.
-
-Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
