+Git 2.21 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Backward Compatibility Notes
+----------------------------
+
+
+Updates since v2.20
+-------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * The "http.version" configuration variable can be used with recent
+   enough cURL library to force the version of HTTP used to talk when
+   fetching and pushing.
+
+ * Small fixes and features for fast-export and fast-import, mostly on
+   the fast-export side.
+
+ * "git push $there $src:$dst" rejects when $dst is not a fully
+   qualified refname and not clear what the end user meant.  The
+   codepath has been taught to give a clearer error message, and also
+   guess where the push should go by taking the type of the pushed
+   object into account (e.g. a tag object would want to go under
+   refs/tags/).
+
+ * "git checkout [<tree-ish>] path..." learned to report the number of
+   paths that have been checked out of the index or the tree-ish,
+   which gives it the same degree of noisy-ness as the case in which
+   the command checks out a branch.
+
+ * "git quiltimport" learned "--keep-non-patch" option.
+
+ * "git worktree remove" and "git worktree move" refused to work when
+   there is a submodule involved.  This has been loosened to ignore
+   uninitialized submodules.
+
+ * "git cherry-pick -m1" was forbidden when picking a non-merge
+   commit, even though there _is_ parent number 1 for such a commit.
+   This was done to avoid mistakes back when "cherry-pick" was about
+   picking a single commit, but is no longer useful with "cherry-pick"
+   that can pick a range of commits.  Now the "-m$num" option is
+   allowed when picking any commit, as long as $num names an existing
+   parent of the commit.
+
+ * Update "git multimail" from the upstream.
+
+ * "git p4" update.
+
+ * The "--format=<placeholder>" option of for-each-ref, branch and tag
+   learned to show a few more traits of objects that can be learned by
+   the object_info API.
+
+ * "git rebase -i" learned to re-execute a command given with 'exec'
+   to run after it failed the last time.
+
+ * "git diff --color-moved-ws" updates.
+
+ * Custom userformat "log --format" learned %S atom that stands for
+   the tip the traversal reached the commit from, i.e. --source.
+
+ * "git instaweb" learned to drive http.server that comes with
+   "batteries included" Python installation (both Python2 & 3).
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * Code clean-up with optimization for the codepath that checks
+   (non-)existence of loose objects.
+
+ * More codepaths become aware of working with in-core repository
+   instance other than the default "the_repository".
+
+ * The "strncat()" function is now among the banned functions.
+
+ * Portability updates for the HPE NonStop platform.
+
+ * Earlier we added "-Wformat-security" to developer builds, assuming
+   that "-Wall" (which includes "-Wformat" which in turn is required
+   to use "-Wformat-security") is always in effect.  This is not true
+   when config.mak.autogen is in use, unfortunately.  This has been
+   fixed by unconditionally adding "-Wall" to developer builds.
+
+ * The loose object cache used to optimize existence look-up has been
+   updated.
+
+ * Flaky tests can now be repeatedly run under load with the
+   "--stress" option.
+   (merge fb7d1e3ac8 sg/stress-test later to maint).
+
+ * Documentation/Makefile is getting prepared for manpage
+   localization.
+
+ * "git fetch-pack" now can talk the version 2 protocol.
+
+ * sha-256 hash has been added and plumbed through the code to allow
+   building Git with the "NewHash".
+
+ * Debugging help for http transport.
+
+ * "git fetch --deepen=<more>" has been corrected to work over v2
+   protocol.
+
+ * The code to walk tree objects has been taught that we may be
+   working with object names that are not computed with SHA-1.
+
+ * The in-core repository instances are passed through more codepaths.
+
+ * Update the protocol message specification to allow only the limited
+   use of scaled quantities.  This is ensure potential compatibility
+   issues will not go out of hand.
+
+ * Micro-optimize the code that prepares commit objects to be walked
+   by "git rev-list" when the commit-graph is available.
+
+ * "git fetch" and "git upload-pack" learned to send all exchange over
+   the sideband channel while talking the v2 protocol.
+
+ * The codepath to write out commit-graph has been optimized by
+   following the usual pattern of visiting objects in in-pack order.
+
+ * The codepath to show progress meter while writing out commit-graph
+   file has been improved.
+
+ * Cocci rules have been updated to encourage use of strbuf_addbuf().
+
+
+Fixes since v2.20
+-----------------
+
+ * Updates for corner cases in merge-recursive.
+   (merge cc4cb0902c en/merge-path-collision later to maint).
+
+ * "git checkout frotz" (without any double-dash) avoids ambiguity by
+   making sure 'frotz' cannot be interpreted as a revision and as a
+   path at the same time.  This safety has been updated to check also
+   a unique remote-tracking branch 'frotz' in a remote, when dwimming
+   to create a local branch 'frotz' out of a remote-tracking branch
+   'frotz' from a remote.
+   (merge be4908f103 nd/checkout-dwim-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Refspecs configured with "git -c var=val clone" did not propagate
+   to the resulting repository, which has been corrected.
+   (merge 7eae4a3ac4 sg/clone-initial-fetch-configuration later to maint).
+
+ * A properly configured username/email is required under
+   user.useConfigOnly in order to create commits; now "git stash"
+   (even though it creates commit objects to represent stash entries)
+   command is exempt from the requirement.
+   (merge 3bc2111fc2 sd/stash-wo-user-name later to maint).
+
+ * The http-backend CGI process did not correctly clean up the child
+   processes it spawns to run upload-pack etc. when it dies itself,
+   which has been corrected.
+   (merge 02818a98d7 mk/http-backend-kill-children-before-exit later to maint).
+
+ * "git rev-list --exclude-promisor-objects" had to take an object
+   that does not exist locally (and is lazily available) from the
+   command line without barfing, but the code dereferenced NULL.
+   (merge 4cf67869b2 md/list-lazy-objects-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The traversal over tree objects has learned to honor
+   ":(attr:label)" pathspec match, which has been implemented only for
+   enumerating paths on the filesystem.
+   (merge 5a0b97b34c nd/attr-pathspec-in-tree-walk later to maint).
+
+ * BSD port updates.
+   (merge 4e3ecbd439 cb/openbsd-allows-reading-directory later to maint).
+   (merge b6bdc2a0f5 cb/t5004-empty-tar-archive-fix later to maint).
+   (merge 82cbc8cde2 cb/test-lint-cp-a later to maint).
+
+ * Lines that begin with a certain keyword that come over the wire, as
+   well as lines that consist only of one of these keywords, ought to
+   be painted in color for easier eyeballing, but the latter was
+   broken ever since the feature was introduced in 2.19, which has
+   been corrected.
+   (merge 1f67290450 hn/highlight-sideband-keywords later to maint).
+
+ * "git log -G<regex>" looked for a hunk in the "git log -p" patch
+   output that contained a string that matches the given pattern.
+   Optimize this code to ignore binary files, which by default will
+   not show any hunk that would match any pattern (unless textconv or
+   the --text option is in effect, that is).
+   (merge e0e7cb8080 tb/log-G-binary later to maint).
+
+ * "git submodule update" ought to use a single job unless asked, but
+   by mistake used multiple jobs, which has been fixed.
+   (merge e3a9d1aca9 sb/submodule-fetchjobs-default-to-one later to maint).
+
+ * "git stripspace" should be usable outside a git repository, but
+   under the "-s" or "-c" mode, it didn't.
+   (merge 957da75802 jn/stripspace-wo-repository later to maint).
+
+ * Some of the documentation pages formatted incorrectly with
+   Asciidoctor, which have been fixed.
+   (merge b62eb1d2f4 ma/asciidoctor later to maint).
+
+ * The core.worktree setting in a submodule repository should not be
+   pointing at a directory when the submodule loses its working tree
+   (e.g. getting deinit'ed), but the code did not properly maintain
+   this invariant.
+
+ * With zsh, "git cmd path<TAB>" was completed to "git cmd path name"
+   when the completed path has a special character like SP in it,
+   without any attempt to keep "path name" a single filename.  This
+   has been fixed to complete it to "git cmd path\ name" just like
+   Bash completion does.
+
+ * The test suite tried to see if it is run under bash, but the check
+   itself failed under some other implementations of shell (notably
+   under NetBSD).  This has been corrected.
+   (merge 54ea72f09c sg/test-bash-version-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git gc" and "git repack" did not close the open packfiles that
+   they found unneeded before removing them, which didn't work on a
+   platform incapable of removing an open file.  This has been
+   corrected.
+   (merge 5bdece0d70 js/gc-repack-close-before-remove later to maint).
+
+ * The code to drive GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF command relied on the string
+   returned from getenv() to be non-volatile, which is not true, that
+   has been corrected.
+   (merge 6776a84dae kg/external-diff-save-env later to maint).
+
+ * There were many places the code relied on the string returned from
+   getenv() to be non-volatile, which is not true, that have been
+   corrected.
+   (merge 0da0e9268b jk/save-getenv-result later to maint).
+
+ * The v2 upload-pack protocol implementation failed to honor
+   hidden-ref configuration, which has been corrected.
+   (merge e20b4192a3 jk/proto-v2-hidden-refs-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git fetch --recurse-submodules" may not fetch the necessary commit
+   that is bound to the superproject, which is getting corrected.
+   (merge be76c21282 sb/submodule-recursive-fetch-gets-the-tip later to maint).
+
+ * "git rebase" internally runs "checkout" to switch between branches,
+   and the command used to call the post-checkout hook, but the
+   reimplementation stopped doing so, which is getting fixed.
+
+ * "git add -e" got confused when the change it wants to let the user
+   edit is smaller than the previous change that was left over in a
+   temporary file.
+   (merge fa6f225e01 js/add-e-clear-patch-before-stating later to maint).
+
+ * "git p4" failed to update a shelved change when there were moved
+   files, which has been corrected.
+   (merge 7a10946ab9 ld/git-p4-shelve-update-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The codepath to read from the commit-graph file attempted to read
+   past the end of it when the file's table-of-contents was corrupt.
+
+ * The compat/obstack code had casts that -Wcast-function-type
+   compilation option found questionable.
+   (merge 764473d257 sg/obstack-cast-function-type-fix later to maint).
+
+ * An obvious typo in an assertion error message has been fixed.
+   (merge 3c27e2e059 cc/test-ref-store-typofix later to maint).
+
+ * In Git for Windows, "git clone \\server\share\path" etc. that uses
+   UNC paths from command line had bad interaction with its shell
+   emulation.
+
+ * "git add --ignore-errors" did not work as advertised and instead
+   worked as an unintended synonym for "git add --renormalize", which
+   has been fixed.
+   (merge 9e5da3d055 jk/add-ignore-errors-bit-assignment-fix later to maint).
+
+ * On a case-insensitive filesystem, we failed to compare the part of
+   the path that is above the worktree directory in an absolute
+   pathname, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Asking "git check-attr" about a macro (e.g. "binary") on a specific
+   path did not work correctly, even though "git check-attr -a" listed
+   such a macro correctly.  This has been corrected.
+   (merge 7b95849be4 jk/attr-macro-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git pack-objects" incorrectly used uninitialized mutex, which has
+   been corrected.
+   (merge edb673cf10 ph/pack-objects-mutex-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git checkout -b <new> [HEAD]" to create a new branch from the
+   current commit and check it out ought to be a no-op in the index
+   and the working tree in normal cases, but there are corner cases
+   that do require updates to the index and the working tree.  Running
+   it immediately after "git clone --no-checkout" is one of these
+   cases that an earlier optimization kicked in incorrectly, which has
+   been fixed.
+   (merge 8424bfd45b bp/checkout-new-branch-optim later to maint).
+
+ * "git diff --color-moved --cc --stat -p" did not work well due to
+   funny interaction between a bug in color-moved and the rest, which
+   has been fixed.
+   (merge dac03b5518 jk/diff-cc-stat-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * When GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR is set, the command was incorrectly
+   started when modes of "git rebase" that implicitly uses the
+   machinery for the interactive rebase are run, which has been
+   corrected.
+   (merge 891d4a0313 pw/no-editor-in-rebase-i-implicit later to maint).
+
+ * The commit-graph facility did not work when in-core objects that
+   are promoted from unknown type to commit (e.g. a commit that is
+   accessed via a tag that refers to it) were involved, which has been
+   corrected.
+   (merge 4468d4435c sg/object-as-type-commit-graph-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git fetch" output cleanup.
+   (merge dc40b24df4 nd/fetch-compact-update later to maint).
+
+ * Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
+   (merge 89ba9a79ae hb/t0061-dot-in-path-fix later to maint).

+Release 1.5.0
+=============
+
+Backward-incompatible change
+----------------------------
+
+The name of classes for environment was misnamed as `*Environement`.
+It is now `*Environment`.
+
+New features
+------------
+
+* A Thread-Index header is now added to each email sent (except for
+  combined emails where it would not make sense), so that MS Outlook
+  properly groups messages by threads even though they have a
+  different subject line. Unfortunately, even adding this header the
+  threading still seems to be unreliable, but it is unclear whether
+  this is an issue on our side or on MS Outlook's side (see discussion
+  here: https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail/pull/194).
+
+* A new variable multimailhook.ExcludeMergeRevisions was added to send
+  notification emails only for non-merge commits.
+
+* For gitolite environment, it is now possible to specify the mail map
+  in a separate file in addition to gitolite.conf, using the variable
+  multimailhook.MailaddressMap.
+
+Internal changes
+----------------
+
+* The testsuite now uses GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS where needed for
+  compatibility with recent Git versions. Only tests are affected.
+
+* We don't try to install pyflakes in the continuous integration job
+  for old Python versions where it's no longer available.
+
+* Stop using the deprecated cgi.escape in Python 3.
+
+* New flake8 warnings have been fixed.
+
+* Python 3.6 is now tested against on Travis-CI.
+
+* A bunch of lgtm.com warnings have been fixed.
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+* SMTPMailer logs in only once now. It used to re-login for each email
+  sent which triggered errors for some SMTP servers.
+
+* migrate-mailhook-config was broken by internal refactoring, it
+  should now work again.
+
+This version was tested with Python 2.6 to 3.7. It was tested with Git
+1.7.10.406.gdc801, 2.15.1 and 2.20.1.98.gecbdaf0.

 Please CC emails regarding git-multimail to the maintainers so that we
 don't overlook them.
 
+Help needed: testers/maintainer for specific environments/OS
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The current maintainer uses and tests git-multimail on Linux with the
+Generic environment. More testers, or better contributors are needed
+to test git-multimail on other real-life setups:
+
+* Mac OS X, Windows: git-multimail is currently not supported on these
+  platforms. But since we have no external dependencies and try to
+  write code as portable as possible, it is possible that
+  git-multimail already runs there and if not, it is likely that it
+  could be ported easily.
+
+  Patches to improve support for Windows and OS X are welcome.
+  Ideally, there would be a sub-maintainer for each OS who would test
+  at least once before each release (around twice a year).
+
+* Gerrit, Stash, Gitolite environments: although the testsuite
+  contains tests for these environments, a tester/maintainer for each
+  environment would be welcome to test and report failure (or success)
+  on real-life environments periodically (here also, feedback before
+  each release would be highly appreciated).
