  - The first #include in C files, except in platform specific compat/
-   implementations and sha1dc/, must be either "git-compat-util.h" or
-   one of the approved headers that includes it first for you.  (The
-   approved headers currently include "builtin.h",
-   "t/helper/test-tool.h", "xdiff/xinclude.h", or
-   "reftable/system.h").  You do not have to include more than one of
-   these.
+   implementations and sha1dc/, must be <git-compat-util.h>.  This
+   header file insulates other header files and source files from
+   platform differences, like which system header files must be
+   included in what order, and what C preprocessor feature macros must
+   be defined to trigger certain features we expect out of the system.
+   A collorary to this is that C files should not directly include
+   system header files themselves.
+
+   There are some exceptions, because certain group of files that
+   implement an API all have to include the same header file that
+   defines the API and it is convenient to include <git-compat-util.h>
+   there.  Namely:
+
+   - the implementation of the built-in commands in the "builtin/"
+     directory that include "builtin.h" for the cmd_foo() prototype
+     definition,

+Git 2.43.1 Release Notes
+========================
+
+There is nothing exciting to see here.  Relative to Git 2.43, this
+release contains the fixes that have already been merged to the
+'master' branch of the development towards the next major release.
+
+Fixes since Git 2.43.0
+----------------------
+
+ * The way CI testing used "prove" could lead to running the test
+   suite twice needlessly, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Newer versions of Getopt::Long started giving warnings against our
+   (ab)use of it in "git send-email".  Bump the minimum version
+   requirement for Perl to 5.8.1 (from September 2002) to allow
+   simplifying our implementation.
+
+ * Earlier we stopped relying on commit-graph that (still) records
+   information about commits that are lost from the object store,
+   which has negative performance implications.  The default has been
+   flipped to disable this pessimization.
+
+ * Stale URLs have been updated to their current counterparts (or
+   archive.org) and HTTP links are replaced with working HTTPS links.
+
+ * trace2 streams used to record the URLs that potentially embed
+   authentication material, which has been corrected.
+
+ * The sample pre-commit hook that tries to catch introduction of new
+   paths that use potentially non-portable characters did not notice
+   an existing path getting renamed to such a problematic path, when
+   rename detection was enabled.
+
+ * The command line parser for the "log" family of commands was too
+   loose when parsing certain numbers, e.g., silently ignoring the
+   extra 'q' in "git log -n 1q" without complaining, which has been
+   tightened up.
+
+ * "git $cmd --end-of-options --rev -- --path" for some $cmd failed
+   to interpret "--rev" as a rev, and "--path" as a path.  This was
+   fixed for many programs like "reset" and "checkout".
+
+ * "git bisect reset" has been taught to clean up state files and refs
+   even when BISECT_START file is gone.
+
+ * Some codepaths did not correctly parse configuration variables
+   specified with valueless "true", which has been corrected.
+
+ * Code clean-up for sanity checking of command line options for "git
+   show-ref".
+
+ * The code to parse the From e-mail header has been updated to avoid
+   recursion.
+
+ * "git fetch --atomic" issued an unnecessary empty error message,
+   which has been corrected.
+
+ * Command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to work better
+   with the reftable backend.
+
+ * "git status" is taught to show both the branch being bisected and
+   being rebased when both are in effect at the same time.
+   cf. <xmqqil76kyov.fsf@gitster.g>
+
+ * "git archive --list extra garbage" silently ignored excess command
+   line parameters, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git sparse-checkout set" added default patterns even when the
+   patterns are being fed from the standard input, which has been
+   corrected.
+
+ * Unlike other environment variables that took the usual
+   true/false/yes/no as well as 0/1, GIT_FLUSH only understood 0/1,
+   which has been corrected.
+
+ * Clearing in-core repository (happens during e.g., "git fetch
+   --recurse-submodules" with commit graph enabled) made in-core
+   commit object in an inconsistent state by discarding the necessary
+   data from commit-graph too early, which has been corrected.
+
+Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.

+Git 2.43.2 Release Notes
+========================
+
+Relative to Git 2.43.1, this release has two important fixes to allow
+"git imap-send" to be built with NO_CURL defined, and to restore the
+forced flushing behaviour when GIT_FLUSH=1 is set.  It also contains
+other, unexciting, fixes that have already been merged to the 'master'
+branch of the development towards the next major release.
+
+Fixes since Git 2.43.1
+----------------------
+
+ * Update to a new feature recently added, "git show-ref --exists".
+
+ * Rename detection logic ignored the final line of a file if it is an
+   incomplete line.
+
+ * "git diff --no-rename A B" did not disable rename detection but did
+   not trigger an error from the command line parser.
+
+ * "git diff --no-index file1 file2" segfaulted while invoking the

+
+ * Recent conversion to allow more than 0/1 in GIT_FLUSH broke the

+Git 2.43.3 Release Notes
+========================
+
+Relative to Git 2.43.2, this release fixes one regression that
+manifests while running "git commit -v --trailer".
+
+Fixes since Git 2.43.2
+----------------------
+
+ * "git commit -v --trailer=..." was broken with recent update and
+   placed the trailer _after_ the divider line, which has been
+   corrected.

+Git v2.44 Release Notes
+=======================
+
+Backward Compatibility Notes
+
+ * "git checkout -B <branch>" used to allow switching to a branch that
+   is in use on another worktree, but this was by mistake.  The users
+   need to use "--ignore-other-worktrees" option.
+
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * "git add" and "git stash" learned to support the ":(attr:...)"
+   magic pathspec.
+
+ * "git rebase --autosquash" is now enabled for non-interactive rebase,
+   but it is still incompatible with the apply backend.
+
+ * Introduce "git replay", a tool meant on the server side without
+   working tree to recreate a history.
+
+ * "git merge-file" learned to take the "--diff-algorithm" option to
+   use algorithm different from the default "myers" diff.
+
+ * Command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete path
+   arguments to the "add/set" subcommands of "git sparse-checkout"
+   better.
+
+ * "git checkout -B <branch> [<start-point>]" allowed a branch that is
+   in use in another worktree to be updated and checked out, which
+   might be a bit unexpected.  The rule has been tightened, which is a
+   breaking change.  "--ignore-other-worktrees" option is required to
+   unbreak you, if you are used to the current behaviour that "-B"
+   overrides the safety.
+
+ * The builtin_objectmode attribute is populated for each path
+   without adding anything in .gitattributes files, which would be
+   useful in magic pathspec, e.g., ":(attr:builtin_objectmode=100755)"
+   to limit to executables.
+
+ * "git fetch" learned to pay attention to "fetch.all" configuration
+   variable, which pretends as if "--all" was passed from the command
+   line when no remote parameter was given.
+
+ * In addition to (rather cryptic) Security Identifiers, show username
+   and domain in the error message when we barf on mismatch between
+   the Git directory and the current user on Windows.
+
+ * The error message given when "git branch -d branch" fails due to
+   commits unique to the branch has been split into an error and a new
+   conditional advice message.
+
+ * When given an existing but unreadable file as a configuration file,
+   gitweb behaved as if the file did not exist at all, but now it
+   errors out.  This is a change that may break backward compatibility.
+
+ * When $HOME/.gitconfig is missing but XDG config file is available, we
+   should write into the latter, not former.  "git gc" and "git
+   maintenance" wrote into a wrong "global config" file, which have
+   been corrected.
+
+ * Define "special ref" as a very narrow set that consists of
+   FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD, and clarify everything else that used to
+   be classified as such are actually just pseudorefs.
+
+ * All conditional "advice" messages show how to turn them off, which
+   becomes repetitive.  Setting advice.* configuration explicitly on
+   now omits the instruction part.
+
+ * The "disable repository discovery of a bare repository" check,
+   triggered by setting safe.bareRepository configuration variable to
+   'explicit', has been loosened to exclude the ".git/" directory inside
+   a non-bare repository from the check.  So you can do "cd .git &&
+   git cmd" to run a Git command that works on a bare repository without
+   explicitly specifying $GIT_DIR now.
+
+ * The completion script (in contrib/) learned more options that can
+   be used with "git log".
+
+ * The labels on conflict markers for the common ancestor, our version,
+   and the other version are available to custom 3-way merge driver
+   via %S, %X, and %Y placeholders.
+
+ * The write codepath for the reftable data learned to honor
+   core.fsync configuration.
+
+ * The "--fsck-objects" option of "git index-pack" now can take the
+   optional parameter to tweak severity of different fsck errors.
+
+ * The wincred credential backend has been taught to support oauth
+   refresh token the same way as credential-cache and
+   credential-libsecret backends.
+
+ * Command line completion support (in contrib/) has been
+   updated for "git bisect".
+
+ * "git branch" and friends learned to use the formatted text as
+   sorting key, not the underlying timestamp value, when the --sort
+   option is used with author or committer timestamp with a format
+   specifier (e.g., "--sort=creatordate:format:%H:%M:%S").
+
+ * The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to
+   complete configuration variable names better.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * Process to add some form of low-level unit tests has started.
+
+ * Add support for GitLab CI.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref --no-sort" still sorted the refs alphabetically
+   which paid non-trivial cost.  It has been redefined to show output
+   in an unspecified order, to allow certain optimizations to take
+   advantage of.
+
+ * Simplify API implementation to delete references by eliminating
+   duplication.
+
+ * Subject approxidate() and show_date() machinery to OSS-Fuzz.
+
+ * A new helper to let us pretend that we called lstat() when we know
+   our cache_entry is up-to-date via fsmonitor.
+
+ * The optimization based on fsmonitor in the "diff --cached"
+   codepath is resurrected with the "fake-lstat" introduced earlier.
+
+ * Test balloon to use C99 "bool" type from <stdbool.h> has been
+   added.
+
+ * "git clone" has been prepared to allow cloning a repository with
+   non-default hash function into a repository that uses the reftable
+   backend.
+
+ * Streaming spans of packfile data used to be done only from a
+   single, primary, pack in a repository with multiple packfiles.  It
+   has been extended to allow reuse from other packfiles, too.
+
+ * Comment updates to help developers not to attempt to modify
+   messages from plumbing commands that must stay constant.
+
+   It might make sense to reassess the plumbing needs every few years,
+   but that should be done as a separate effort.
+
+ * Move test-ctype helper to the unit-test framework.
+
+ * Instead of manually creating refs/ hierarchy on disk upon a
+   creation of a secondary worktree, which is only usable via the
+   files backend, use the refs API to populate it.
+
+ * CI for GitLab learned to drive macOS jobs.
+
+ * A few tests to "git commit -o <pathspec>" and "git commit -i
+   <pathspec>" has been added.
+
+ * Tests on ref API are moved around to prepare for reftable.
+
+ * The Makefile often had to say "-L$(path) -R$(path)" that repeats
+   the path to the same library directory for link time and runtime.
+   A Makefile template is used to reduce such repetition.
+
+ * The priority queue test has been migrated to the unit testing
+   framework.
+
+ * Setting `feature.experimental` opts the user into multi-pack reuse
+   experiment
+
+ * Squelch node.js 16 deprecation warnings from GitHub Actions CI
+   by updating actions/github-script and actions/checkout that use
+   node.js 20.
+
+ * The mechanism to report the filename in the source code, used by
+   the unit-test machinery, assumed that the compiler expanded __FILE__
+   to the path to the source given to the $(CC), but some compilers
+   give full path, breaking the output.  This has been corrected.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.43
+-----------------
+
+ * The way CI testing used "prove" could lead to running the test
+   suite twice needlessly, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Update ref-related tests.
+
+ * "git format-patch --encode-email-headers" ignored the option when
+   preparing the cover letter, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Newer versions of Getopt::Long started giving warnings against our
+   (ab)use of it in "git send-email".  Bump the minimum version
+   requirement for Perl to 5.8.1 (from September 2002) to allow
+   simplifying our implementation.
+
+ * Earlier we stopped relying on commit-graph that (still) records
+   information about commits that are lost from the object store,
+   which has negative performance implications.  The default has been
+   flipped to disable this pessimization.
+
+ * Stale URLs have been updated to their current counterparts (or
+   archive.org) and HTTP links are replaced with working HTTPS links.
+
+ * trace2 streams used to record the URLs that potentially embed
+   authentication material, which has been corrected.
+
+ * The sample pre-commit hook that tries to catch introduction of new
+   paths that use potentially non-portable characters did not notice
+   an existing path getting renamed to such a problematic path, when
+   rename detection was enabled.
+
+ * The command line parser for the "log" family of commands was too
+   loose when parsing certain numbers, e.g., silently ignoring the
+   extra 'q' in "git log -n 1q" without complaining, which has been
+   tightened up.
+
+ * "git $cmd --end-of-options --rev -- --path" for some $cmd failed
+   to interpret "--rev" as a rev, and "--path" as a path.  This was
+   fixed for many programs like "reset" and "checkout".
+
+ * "git bisect reset" has been taught to clean up state files and refs
+   even when BISECT_START file is gone.
+
+ * Some codepaths did not correctly parse configuration variables
+   specified with valueless "true", which has been corrected.
+
+ * Code clean-up for sanity checking of command line options for "git
+   show-ref".
+
+ * The code to parse the From e-mail header has been updated to avoid
+   recursion.
+
+ * "git fetch --atomic" issued an unnecessary empty error message,
+   which has been corrected.
+
+ * Command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to work better
+   with the reftable backend.
+
+ * "git status" is taught to show both the branch being bisected and
+   being rebased when both are in effect at the same time.
+
+ * "git archive --list extra garbage" silently ignored excess command
+   line parameters, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git sparse-checkout set" added default patterns even when the
+   patterns are being fed from the standard input, which has been
+   corrected.
+
+ * "git sparse-checkout (add|set) --[no-]cone --end-of-options" did
+   not handle "--end-of-options" correctly after a recent update.
+
+ * Unlike other environment variables that took the usual
+   true/false/yes/no as well as 0/1, GIT_FLUSH only understood 0/1,
+   which has been corrected.
+
+ * Clearing in-core repository (happens during e.g., "git fetch
+   --recurse-submodules" with commit graph enabled) made in-core
+   commit object in an inconsistent state by discarding the necessary
+   data from commit-graph too early, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Update to a new feature recently added, "git show-ref --exists".
+
+ * oss-fuzz tests are built and run in CI.
+   (merge c4a9cf1df3 js/oss-fuzz-build-in-ci later to maint).
+
+ * Rename detection logic ignored the final line of a file if it is an
+   incomplete line.
+
+ * GitHub CI update.
+   (merge 0188b2c8e0 pb/ci-github-skip-logs-for-broken-tests later to maint).
+
+ * "git diff --no-rename A B" did not disable rename detection but did
+   not trigger an error from the command line parser.
+
+ * "git archive --remote=<remote>" learned to talk over the smart
+   http (aka stateless) transport.
+   (merge 176cd68634 jx/remote-archive-over-smart-http later to maint).
+
+ * Fetching via protocol v0 over Smart HTTP transport sometimes failed
+   to correctly auto-follow tags.
+   (merge fba732c462 jk/fetch-auto-tag-following-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The documentation for the --exclude-per-directory option marked it
+   as deprecated, which confused readers into thinking there may be a
+   plan to remove it in the future, which was not our intention.
+   (merge 0009542cab jc/ls-files-doc-update later to maint).
+
+ * "git diff --no-index file1 file2" segfaulted while invoking the
+   external diff driver, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Rewrite //-comments to /* comments */ in files whose comments
+   prevalently use the latter.
+
+ * Cirrus CI jobs started breaking because we specified version of
+   FreeBSD that is no longer available, which has been corrected.
+   (merge 81fffb66d3 cb/use-freebsd-13-2-at-cirrus-ci later to maint).
+
+ * A caller called index_file_exists() that takes a string expressed
+   as <ptr, length> with a wrong length, which has been corrected.
+   (merge 156e28b36d jh/sparse-index-expand-to-path-fix later to maint).
+
+ * A failed "git tag -s" did not necessarily result in an error
+   depending on the crypto backend, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git stash" sometimes was silent even when it failed due to
+   unwritable index file, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git show-ref --verify" did not show things like "CHERRY_PICK_HEAD",
+   which has been corrected.
+
+ * Recent conversion to allow more than 0/1 in GIT_FLUSH broke the
+   mechanism by flipping what yes/no means by mistake, which has been
+   corrected.
+
+ * The sequencer machinery does not use the ref API and instead
+   records names of certain objects it needs for its correct operation
+   in temporary files, which makes these objects susceptible to loss
+   by garbage collection.  These temporary files have been added as
+   starting points for reachability analysis to fix this.
+   (merge bc7f5db896 pw/gc-during-rebase later to maint).
+
+ * "git cherry-pick" invoked during "git rebase -i" session lost
+   the authorship information, which has been corrected.
+   (merge e4301f73ff vn/rebase-with-cherry-pick-authorship later to maint).
+
+ * The code paths that call repo_read_object_file() have been
+   tightened to react to errors.
+   (merge 568459bf5e js/check-null-from-read-object-file later to maint).
+
+ * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
+   (merge 5aea3955bc rj/clarify-branch-doc-m later to maint).
+   (merge 9cce3be2df bk/bisect-doc-fix later to maint).

+Git v2.45 Release Notes
+=======================
+
+Backward Compatibility Notes
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * Integrate the reftable code into the refs framework as a backend.
+   With "git init --ref-format=reftable", hopefully it would be a lot
+   more efficient to manage a repository with many references.
+
+ * "git checkout -p" and friends learned that that "@" is a synonym
+   for "HEAD".
+
+ * Variants of vimdiff learned to honor mergetool.<variant>.layout
+   settings.
+
+ * "git reflog" learned a "list" subcommand that enumerates known reflogs.
+
+ * When a merge conflicted at a submodule, merge-ort backend used to
+   unconditionally give a lengthy message to suggest how to resolve
+   it.  Now the message can be squelched as an advice message.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref" learned "--include-root-refs" option to show
+   even the stuff outside the 'refs/' hierarchy.
+
+ * "git rev-list --missing=print" has learned to optionally take
+   "--allow-missing-tips", which allows the objects at the starting
+   points to be missing.
+
+ * "git merge-tree" has learned that the three trees involved in the
+   3-way merge only need to be trees, not necessarily commits.
+
+ * "git log --merge" learned to pay attention to CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and
+   other kinds of *_HEAD pseudorefs.
+
+ * Platform specific tweaks for OS/390 has been added to
+   config.mak.uname.
+
+ * Users with safe.bareRepository=explicit can still work from within
+   $GIT_DIR of a seconary worktree (which resides at .git/worktrees/$name/)
+   of the primary worktree without explicitly specifying the $GIT_DIR
+   environment variable or the --git-dir=<path> option.
+
+ * The output format for dates "iso-strict" has been tweaked to show
+   a time in the Zulu timezone with "Z" suffix, instead of "+00:00".
+
+ * "git diff" and friends learned two extra configuration variables,
+   diff.srcPrefix and diff.dstPrefix.
+
+ * The status.showUntrackedFiles configuration variable had a name
+   that tempts users to set a Boolean value expressed in our usual
+   "false", "off", and "0", but it only took "no".  This has been
+   corrected so "true" and its synonyms are taken as "normal", while
+   "false" and its synonyms are taken as "no".
+
+ * Remove an ancient and not well maintained Hg-to-git migration
+   script from contrib/.
+
+ * Hints that suggest what to do after resolving conflicts can now be
+   squelched by disabling advice.mergeConflict.
+
+ * Allow git-cherry-pick(1) to automatically drop redundant commits via
+   a new `--empty` option, similar to the `--empty` options for
+   git-rebase(1) and git-am(1). Includes a soft deprecation of
+   `--keep-redundant-commits` as well as some related docs changes and
+   sequencer code cleanup.
+
+ * "git config" learned "--comment=<message>" option to leave a
+   comment immediately after the "variable = value" on the same line
+   in the configuration file.
+
+ * core.commentChar used to be limited to a single byte, but has been
+   updated to allow an arbitrary multi-byte sequence.
+
+ * "git add -p" and other "interactive hunk selection" UI has learned to
+   skip showing the hunk immediately after it has already been shown, and
+   an additional action to explicitly ask to reshow the current hunk.
+
+ * "git pack-refs" learned the "--auto" option, which is a useful
+   addition to be triggered from "git gc --auto".
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * The code to iterate over refs with the reftable backend has seen
+   some optimization.
+
+ * More tests that are marked as "ref-files only" have been updated to
+   improve test coverage of reftable backend.
+
+ * Some parts of command line completion script (in contrib/) have
+   been micro-optimized.
+
+ * The way placeholders are to be marked-up in documentation have been
+   specified; use "_<placeholder>_" to typeset the word inside a pair
+   of <angle-brakets> emphasized.
+
+ * "git --no-lazy-fetch cmd" allows to run "cmd" while disabling lazy
+   fetching of objects from the promisor remote, which may be handy
+   for debugging.
+
+ * The implementation in "git clean" that makes "-n" and "-i" ignore
+   clean.requireForce has been simplified, together with the
+   documentation.
+
+ * The code to iterate over refs with the reftable backend has seen
+   some optimization.
+
+ * Uses of xwrite() helper have been audited and updated for better
+   error checking and simpler code.
+
+ * Some trace2 events that lacked def_param have learned to show it,
+   enriching the output.
+
+ * The parse-options code that deals with abbreviated long option
+   names have been cleaned up.
+
+ * The code in reftable backend that creates new table files works
+   better with the tempfile framework to avoid leaving cruft after a
+   failure.
+
+ * The reftable code has its own custom binary search function whose
+   comparison callback has an unusual interface, which caused the
+   binary search to degenerate into a linear search, which has been
+   corrected.
+
+ * The code to iterate over reflogs in the reftable has been optimized
+   to reduce memory allocation and deallocation.
+
+ * Work to support a repository that work with both SHA-1 and SHA-256
+   hash algorithms has started.
+
+ * A new fuzz target that exercises config parsing code has been
+   added.
+
+ * Fix the way recently added tests interpolate variables defined
+   outside them, and document the best practice to help future
+   developers.
+
+ * Introduce an experimental protocol for contributors to propose the
+   topic description to be used in the "What's cooking" report, the
+   merge commit message for the topic, and in the release notes and
+   document it in the SubmittingPatches document.
+
+ * The t/README file now gives a hint on running individual tests in
+   the "t/" directory with "make t<num>-*.sh t<num>-*.sh".
+   (merge 8d383806fc pb/test-scripts-are-build-targets later to maint).
+
+ * The "hint:" messages given by the advice mechanism, when given a
+   message with a blank line, left a line with trailing whitespace,
+   which has been cleansed.
+
+ * Documentation rules has been explicitly described how to mark-up
+   literal parts and a few manual pages have been updated as examples.
+
+ * The .editorconfig file has been taught that a Makefile uses HT
+   indentation.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.44
+-----------------
+
+ * "git apply" on a filesystem without filemode support have learned
+   to take a hint from what is in the index for the path, even when
+   not working with the "--index" or "--cached" option, when checking
+   the executable bit match what is required by the preimage in the
+   patch.
+   (merge 45b625142d cp/apply-core-filemode later to maint).
+
+ * "git column" has been taught to reject negative padding value, as
+   it would lead to nonsense behaviour including division by zero.
+   (merge 76fb807faa kh/column-reject-negative-padding later to maint).
+
+ * "git am --help" now tells readers what actions are available in
+   "git am --whitespace=<action>", in addition to saying that the
+   option is passed through to the underlying "git apply".
+   (merge a171dac734 jc/am-whitespace-doc later to maint).
+
+ * "git tag --column" failed to check the exit status of its "git
+   column" invocation, which has been corrected.
+   (merge 92e66478fc rj/tag-column-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Credential helper based on libsecret (in contrib/) has been updated
+   to handle an empty password correctly.
+   (merge 8f1f2023b7 mh/libsecret-empty-password-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git difftool --dir-diff" learned to honor the "--trust-exit-code"
+   option; it used to always exit with 0 and signalled success.
+   (merge eb84c8b6ce ps/difftool-dir-diff-exit-code later to maint).
+
+ * The code incorrectly attempted to use textconv cache when asked,
+   even when we are not running in a repository, which has been
+   corrected.
+   (merge affe355fe7 jk/textconv-cache-outside-repo-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Remove an empty file that shouldn't have been added in the first
+   place.
+   (merge 4f66942215 js/remove-cruft-files later to maint).
+
+ * The logic to access reflog entries by date and number had ugly
+   corner cases at the boundaries, which have been cleaned up.
+   (merge 5edd126720 jk/reflog-special-cases-fix later to maint).
+
+ * An error message from "git upload-pack", which responds to "git
+   fetch" requests, had a trialing NUL in it, which has been
+   corrected.
+   (merge 3f4c7a0805 sg/upload-pack-error-message-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Clarify wording in the CodingGuidelines that requires <git-compat-util.h>
+   to be the first header file.
+   (merge 4e89f0e07c jc/doc-compat-util later to maint).
+
+ * "git commit -v --cleanup=scissors" used to add the scissors line
+   twice in the log message buffer, which has been corrected.
+   (merge e90cc075cc jt/commit-redundant-scissors-fix later to maint).
+
+ * A custom remote helper no longer cannot access the newly created
+   repository during "git clone", which is a regression in Git 2.44.
+   This has been corrected.
+   (merge 199f44cb2e ps/remote-helper-repo-initialization-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Various parts of upload-pack has been updated to bound the resource
+   consumption relative to the size of the repository to protect from
+   abusive clients.
+   (merge 6cd05e768b jk/upload-pack-bounded-resources later to maint).
+
+ * The upload-pack program, when talking over v2, accepted the
+   packfile-uris protocol extension from the client, even if it did
+   not advertise the capability, which has been corrected.
+   (merge a922bfa3b5 jk/upload-pack-v2-capability-cleanup later to maint).

+NAME
+----
+git-replay - EXPERIMENTAL: Replay commits on a new base, works with bare repos too
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+(EXPERIMENTAL!) 'git replay' ([--contained] --onto <newbase> | --advance <branch>) <revision-range>...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Takes ranges of commits and replays them onto a new location. Leaves
+the working tree and the index untouched, and updates no references.
+The output of this command is meant to be used as input to
+`git update-ref --stdin`, which would update the relevant branches
+(see the OUTPUT section below).
+
+THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--onto <newbase>::
+	Starting point at which to create the new commits.  May be any
+	valid commit, and not just an existing branch name.
++
+When `--onto` is specified, the update-ref command(s) in the output will
+update the branch(es) in the revision range to point at the new
+commits, similar to the way how `git rebase --update-refs` updates
+multiple branches in the affected range.
+
+--advance <branch>::
+	Starting point at which to create the new commits; must be a
+	branch name.
++
+When `--advance` is specified, the update-ref command(s) in the output
+will update the branch passed as an argument to `--advance` to point at
+the new commits (in other words, this mimics a cherry-pick operation).
+
+<revision-range>::
+	Range of commits to replay. More than one <revision-range> can
+	be passed, but in `--advance <branch>` mode, they should have
+	a single tip, so that it's clear where <branch> should point
+	to. See "Specifying Ranges" in linkgit:git-rev-parse and the
+	"Commit Limiting" options below.
+
+include::rev-list-options.txt[]
+
+OUTPUT
+------
+
+When there are no conflicts, the output of this command is usable as
+input to `git update-ref --stdin`.  It is of the form:
+
+	update refs/heads/branch1 ${NEW_branch1_HASH} ${OLD_branch1_HASH}
+	update refs/heads/branch2 ${NEW_branch2_HASH} ${OLD_branch2_HASH}
+	update refs/heads/branch3 ${NEW_branch3_HASH} ${OLD_branch3_HASH}
+
+where the number of refs updated depends on the arguments passed and
+the shape of the history being replayed.  When using `--advance`, the
+number of refs updated is always one, but for `--onto`, it can be one
+or more (rebasing multiple branches simultaneously is supported).
+
+EXIT STATUS
+-----------
+
+For a successful, non-conflicted replay, the exit status is 0.  When
+the replay has conflicts, the exit status is 1.  If the replay is not
+able to complete (or start) due to some kind of error, the exit status
+is something other than 0 or 1.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+To simply rebase `mybranch` onto `target`:
+
+------------
+$ git replay --onto target origin/main..mybranch
+update refs/heads/mybranch ${NEW_mybranch_HASH} ${OLD_mybranch_HASH}
+------------
+
+To cherry-pick the commits from mybranch onto target:
+
+------------
+$ git replay --advance target origin/main..mybranch
+update refs/heads/target ${NEW_target_HASH} ${OLD_target_HASH}
+------------
+
+Note that the first two examples replay the exact same commits and on
+top of the exact same new base, they only differ in that the first
+provides instructions to make mybranch point at the new commits and
+the second provides instructions to make target point at them.
+
+What if you have a stack of branches, one depending upon another, and
+you'd really like to rebase the whole set?
+
+------------
+$ git replay --contained --onto origin/main origin/main..tipbranch
+update refs/heads/branch1 ${NEW_branch1_HASH} ${OLD_branch1_HASH}
+update refs/heads/branch2 ${NEW_branch2_HASH} ${OLD_branch2_HASH}
+update refs/heads/tipbranch ${NEW_tipbranch_HASH} ${OLD_tipbranch_HASH}
+------------
+
+When calling `git replay`, one does not need to specify a range of
+commits to replay using the syntax `A..B`; any range expression will
+do:
+
+------------
+$ git replay --onto origin/main ^base branch1 branch2 branch3
+update refs/heads/branch1 ${NEW_branch1_HASH} ${OLD_branch1_HASH}
+update refs/heads/branch2 ${NEW_branch2_HASH} ${OLD_branch2_HASH}
+update refs/heads/branch3 ${NEW_branch3_HASH} ${OLD_branch3_HASH}
+------------
+
+This will simultaneously rebase `branch1`, `branch2`, and `branch3`,
+all commits they have since `base`, playing them on top of
+`origin/main`. These three branches may have commits on top of `base`
+that they have in common, but that does not need to be the case.

 The MIDX's reverse index is stored in the optional 'RIDX' chunk within

+=== `BTMP` chunk
+
+The Bitmapped Packfiles (`BTMP`) chunk encodes additional information
+about the objects in the multi-pack index's reachability bitmap. Recall
+that objects from the MIDX are arranged in "pseudo-pack" order (see
+above) for reachability bitmaps.
+
+From the example above, suppose we have packs "a", "b", and "c", with
+10, 15, and 20 objects, respectively. In pseudo-pack order, those would
+be arranged as follows:
+
+    |a,0|a,1|...|a,9|b,0|b,1|...|b,14|c,0|c,1|...|c,19|
+
+When working with single-pack bitmaps (or, equivalently, multi-pack
+reachability bitmaps with a preferred pack), linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]
+performs ``verbatim'' reuse, attempting to reuse chunks of the bitmapped
+or preferred packfile instead of adding objects to the packing list.
+
+When a chunk of bytes is reused from an existing pack, any objects
+contained therein do not need to be added to the packing list, saving
+memory and CPU time. But a chunk from an existing packfile can only be
+reused when the following conditions are met:
+
+  - The chunk contains only objects which were requested by the caller
+    (i.e. does not contain any objects which the caller didn't ask for
+    explicitly or implicitly).
+
+  - All objects stored in non-thin packs as offset- or reference-deltas
+    also include their base object in the resulting pack.
+
+The `BTMP` chunk encodes the necessary information in order to implement
+multi-pack reuse over a set of packfiles as described above.
+Specifically, the `BTMP` chunk encodes three pieces of information (all
+32-bit unsigned integers in network byte-order) for each packfile `p`
+that is stored in the MIDX, as follows:
+
+`bitmap_pos`:: The first bit position (in pseudo-pack order) in the
+  multi-pack index's reachability bitmap occupied by an object from `p`.
+
+`bitmap_nr`:: The number of bit positions (including the one at
+  `bitmap_pos`) that encode objects from that pack `p`.
+
+For example, the `BTMP` chunk corresponding to the above example (with
+packs ``a'', ``b'', and ``c'') would look like:
+
+[cols="1,2,2"]
+|===
+| |`bitmap_pos` |`bitmap_nr`
+
+|packfile ``a''
+|`0`
+|`10`
+
+|packfile ``b''
+|`10`
+|`15`
+
+|packfile ``c''
+|`25`
+|`20`
+|===
+
+With this information in place, we can treat each packfile as
+individually reusable in the same fashion as verbatim pack reuse is
+performed on individual packs prior to the implementation of the `BTMP`
+chunk.

+= Unit Testing
+
+In our current testing environment, we spend a significant amount of effort
+crafting end-to-end tests for error conditions that could easily be captured by
+unit tests (or we simply forgo some hard-to-setup and rare error conditions).
+Unit tests additionally provide stability to the codebase and can simplify
+debugging through isolation. Writing unit tests in pure C, rather than with our
+current shell/test-tool helper setup, simplifies test setup, simplifies passing
+data around (no shell-isms required), and reduces testing runtime by not
+spawning a separate process for every test invocation.
+
+We believe that a large body of unit tests, living alongside the existing test
+suite, will improve code quality for the Git project.
+
+== Definitions
+
+For the purposes of this document, we'll use *test framework* to refer to
+projects that support writing test cases and running tests within the context
+of a single executable. *Test harness* will refer to projects that manage
+running multiple executables (each of which may contain multiple test cases) and
+aggregating their results.
+
+In reality, these terms are not strictly defined, and many of the projects
+discussed below contain features from both categories.
+
+For now, we will evaluate projects solely on their framework features. Since we
+are relying on having TAP output (see below), we can assume that any framework
+can be made to work with a harness that we can choose later.
+
+
+== Summary
+
+We believe the best way forward is to implement a custom TAP framework for the
+Git project. We use a version of the framework originally proposed in
+https://lore.kernel.org/git/c902a166-98ce-afba-93f2-ea6027557176@gmail.com/[1].
+
+See the <<framework-selection,Framework Selection>> section below for the
+rationale behind this decision.
+
+
+== Choosing a test harness
+
+During upstream discussion, it was occasionally noted that `prove` provides many
+convenient features, such as scheduling slower tests first, or re-running
+previously failed tests.
+
+While we already support the use of `prove` as a test harness for the shell
+tests, it is not strictly required. The t/Makefile allows running shell tests
+directly (though with interleaved output if parallelism is enabled). Git
+developers who wish to use `prove` as a more advanced harness can do so by
+setting DEFAULT_TEST_TARGET=prove in their config.mak.
+
+We will follow a similar approach for unit tests: by default the test
+executables will be run directly from the t/Makefile, but `prove` can be
+configured with DEFAULT_UNIT_TEST_TARGET=prove.
+
+
+[[framework-selection]]
+== Framework selection
+
+There are a variety of features we can use to rank the candidate frameworks, and
+those features have different priorities:
+
+* Critical features: we probably won't consider a framework without these
+** Can we legally / easily use the project?
+*** <<license,License>>
+*** <<vendorable-or-ubiquitous,Vendorable or ubiquitous>>
+*** <<maintainable-extensible,Maintainable / extensible>>
+*** <<major-platform-support,Major platform support>>
+** Does the project support our bare-minimum needs?
+*** <<tap-support,TAP support>>
+*** <<diagnostic-output,Diagnostic output>>
+*** <<runtime-skippable-tests,Runtime-skippable tests>>
+* Nice-to-have features:
+** <<parallel-execution,Parallel execution>>
+** <<mock-support,Mock support>>
+** <<signal-error-handling,Signal & error-handling>>
+* Tie-breaker stats
+** <<project-kloc,Project KLOC>>
+** <<adoption,Adoption>>
+
+[[license]]
+=== License
+
+We must be able to legally use the framework in connection with Git. As Git is
+licensed only under GPLv2, we must eliminate any LGPLv3, GPLv3, or Apache 2.0
+projects.
+
+[[vendorable-or-ubiquitous]]
+=== Vendorable or ubiquitous
+
+We want to avoid forcing Git developers to install new tools just to run unit
+tests. Any prospective frameworks and harnesses must either be vendorable
+(meaning, we can copy their source directly into Git's repository), or so
+ubiquitous that it is reasonable to expect that most developers will have the
+tools installed already.
+
+[[maintainable-extensible]]
+=== Maintainable / extensible
+
+It is unlikely that any pre-existing project perfectly fits our needs, so any
+project we select will need to be actively maintained and open to accepting
+changes. Alternatively, assuming we are vendoring the source into our repo, it
+must be simple enough that Git developers can feel comfortable making changes as
+needed to our version.
+
+In the comparison table below, "True" means that the framework seems to have
+active developers, that it is simple enough that Git developers can make changes
+to it, and that the project seems open to accepting external contributions (or
+that it is vendorable). "Partial" means that at least one of the above
+conditions holds.
+
+[[major-platform-support]]
+=== Major platform support
+
+At a bare minimum, unit-testing must work on Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
+
+In the comparison table below, "True" means that it works on all three major
+platforms with no issues. "Partial" means that there may be annoyances on one or
+more platforms, but it is still usable in principle.
+
+[[tap-support]]
+=== TAP support
+
+The https://testanything.org/[Test Anything Protocol] is a text-based interface
+that allows tests to communicate with a test harness. It is already used by
+Git's integration test suite. Supporting TAP output is a mandatory feature for
+any prospective test framework.
+
+In the comparison table below, "True" means this is natively supported.
+"Partial" means TAP output must be generated by post-processing the native
+output.
+
+Frameworks that do not have at least Partial support will not be evaluated
+further.
+
+[[diagnostic-output]]
+=== Diagnostic output
+
+When a test case fails, the framework must generate enough diagnostic output to
+help developers find the appropriate test case in source code in order to debug
+the failure.
+
+[[runtime-skippable-tests]]
+=== Runtime-skippable tests
+
+Test authors may wish to skip certain test cases based on runtime circumstances,
+so the framework should support this.
+
+[[parallel-execution]]
+=== Parallel execution
+
+Ideally, we will build up a significant collection of unit test cases, most
+likely split across multiple executables. It will be necessary to run these
+tests in parallel to enable fast develop-test-debug cycles.
+
+In the comparison table below, "True" means that individual test cases within a
+single test executable can be run in parallel. We assume that executable-level
+parallelism can be handled by the test harness.
+
+[[mock-support]]
+=== Mock support
+
+Unit test authors may wish to test code that interacts with objects that may be
+inconvenient to handle in a test (e.g. interacting with a network service).
+Mocking allows test authors to provide a fake implementation of these objects
+for more convenient tests.
+
+[[signal-error-handling]]
+=== Signal & error handling
+
+The test framework should fail gracefully when test cases are themselves buggy
+or when they are interrupted by signals during runtime.
+
+[[project-kloc]]
+=== Project KLOC
+
+The size of the project, in thousands of lines of code as measured by
+https://dwheeler.com/sloccount/[sloccount] (rounded up to the next multiple of
+1,000). As a tie-breaker, we probably prefer a project with fewer LOC.
+
+[[adoption]]
+=== Adoption
+
+As a tie-breaker, we prefer a more widely-used project. We use the number of
+GitHub / GitLab stars to estimate this.
+
+

 independently of the contents or the type of the object: all objects can
 be validated by verifying that (a) their hashes match the content of the

 forms a sequence of

+	 *

+	 * have added a "lazy-refdb-init" capability that announces whether the

+	 * didn't support them, we would have fully initialized the refdb with
+	 * the SHA1 object format, but later on bailed out if we found out that

-hg-to-git.py is able to convert a Mercurial repository into a git one,
-and preserves the branches in the process (unlike tailor)
-
-hg-to-git.py can probably be greatly improved (it's a rather crude
-combination of shell and python) but it does already work quite well for
-me. Features:
-	- supports incremental conversion
-	  (for keeping a git repo in sync with a hg one)
-        - supports hg branches
-        - converts hg tags
-
-Note that the git repository will be created 'in place' (at the same
-location as the source hg repo). You will have to manually remove the
-'.hg' directory after the conversion.
-
-Also note that the incremental conversion uses 'simple' hg changesets
-identifiers (ordinals, as opposed to SHA-1 ids), and since these ids
-are not stable across different repositories the hg-to-git.py state file
-is forever tied to one hg repository.
