+Git 2.29 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Updates since v2.28
+-------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * "git help log" has been enhanced by sharing more material from the
+   documentation for the underlying "git rev-list" command.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref --format=<>" learned %(contents:size).
+
+ * "git merge" learned to selectively omit " into <branch>" at the end
+   of the title of default merge message with merge.suppressDest
+   configuration.
+
+ * The component to respond to "git fetch" request is made more
+   configurable to selectively allow or reject object filtering
+   specification used for partial cloning.
+
+ * Stop when "sendmail.*" configuration variables are defined, which
+   could be a mistaken attempt to define "sendemail.*" variables.
+
+ * The existing backends for "git mergetool" based on variants of vim
+   have been refactored and then support for "nvim" has been added.
+
+ * "git bisect" learns the "--first-parent" option to find the first
+   breakage along the first-parent chain.
+
+ * "git log --first-parent -p" showed patches only for single-parent
+   commits on the first-parent chain; the "--first-parent" option has
+   been made to imply "-m".  Use "--no-diff-merges" to restore the
+   previous behaviour to omit patches for merge commits.
+
+ * The commit labels used to explain each side of conflicted hunks
+   placed by the sequencer machinery have been made more readable by
+   humans.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * The changed-path Bloom filter is improved using ideas from an
+   independent implementation.
+
+ * Updates to the changed-paths bloom filter.
+
+ * The test framework has been updated so that most tests will run
+   with predictable (artificial) timestamps.
+
+ * Preliminary clean-up of the refs API in preparation for adding a
+   new refs backend "reftable".
+
+ * Dev support to limit the use of test_must_fail to only git commands.
+
+ * While packing many objects in a repository with a promissor remote,
+   lazily fetching missing objects from the promissor remote one by
+   one may be inefficient---the code now attempts to fetch all the
+   missing objects in batch (obviously this won't work for a lazy
+   clone that lazily fetches tree objects as you cannot even enumerate
+   what blobs are missing until you learn which trees are missing).
+
+ * The pretend-object mechanism checks if the given object already
+   exists in the object store before deciding to keep the data
+   in-core, but the check would have triggered lazy fetching of such
+   an object from a promissor remote.
+
+ * The argv_array API is useful for not just managing argv but any
+   "vector" (NULL-terminated array) of strings, and has seen adoption
+   to a certain degree.  It has been renamed to "strvec" to reduce the
+   barrier to adoption.
+
+ * The final leg of SHA-256 transition plus doc updates.  Note that
+   there is no inter-operability between SHA-1 and SHA-256
+   repositories yet.
+
+ * CMake support to build with MSVC for Windows bypassing the Makefile.
+
+ * A new helper function has_object() has been introduced to make it
+   easier to mark object existence checks that do and don't want to
+   trigger lazy fetches, and a few such checks are converted using it.
+
+ * A no-op replacement function implemented as a C preprocessor macro
+   does not perform as good a job as one implemented as a "static
+   inline" function in catching errors in parameters; replace the
+   former with the latter in <git-compat-util.h> header.
+
+ * Test framework update.
+   (merge d572f52a64 es/test-cmp-typocatcher later to maint).
+
+ * Updates to "git merge" tests, in preparation for a new merge
+   strategy backend.
+
+ * midx and commit-graph files now use the byte defined in their file
+   format specification for identifying the hash function used for
+   object names.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.28
+-----------------
+
+ * "git clone --separate-git-dir=$elsewhere" used to stomp on the
+   contents of the existing directory $elsewhere, which has been
+   taught to fail when $elsewhere is not an empty directory.
+   (merge dfaa209a79 bw/fail-cloning-into-non-empty later to maint).
+
+ * With the base fix to 2.27 regresion, any new extensions in a v0
+   repository would still be silently honored, which is not quite
+   right.  Instead, complain and die loudly.
+   (merge ec91ffca04 jk/reject-newer-extensions-in-v0 later to maint).
+
+ * Fetching from a lazily cloned repository resulted at the server
+   side in attempts to lazy fetch objects that the client side has,
+   many of which will not be available from the third-party anyway.
+   (merge 77aa0941ce jt/avoid-lazy-fetching-upon-have-check later to maint).
+
+ * Fix to an ancient bug caused by an over-eager attempt for
+   optimization.
+   (merge a98f7fb366 rs/add-index-entry-optim-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Pushing a ref whose name contains non-ASCII character with the
+   "--force-with-lease" option did not work over smart HTTP protocol,
+   which has been corrected.
+   (merge cd85b447bf bc/push-cas-cquoted-refname later to maint).
+
+ * "git mv src dst", when src is an unmerged path, errored out
+   correctly but with an incorrect error message to claim that src is
+   not tracked, which has been clarified.
+   (merge 9b906af657 ct/mv-unmerged-path-error later to maint).
+
+ * Fix to a regression introduced during 2.27 cycle.
+   (merge cada7308ad en/fill-directory-exponential later to maint).
+
+ * Command line completion (in contrib/) update.
+   (merge 688b87c81b mp/complete-show-color-moved later to maint).
+
+ * All "mergy" operations that internally use the merge-recursive
+   machinery should honor the merge.renormalize configuration, but
+   many of them didn't.
+
+ * Doc cleanup around "worktree".
+   (merge dc9c144be5 es/worktree-doc-cleanups later to maint).
+
+ * The "git blame --first-parent" option was not documented, but now
+   it is.
+   (merge 11bc12ae1e rp/blame-first-parent-doc later to maint).
+
+ * The logic to find the ref transaction hook script attempted to
+   cache the path to the found hook without realizing that it needed
+   to keep a copied value, as the API it used returned a transitory
+   buffer space.  This has been corrected.
+   (merge 09b2aa30c9 ps/ref-transaction-hook later to maint).
+
+ * Recent versions of "git diff-files" shows a diff between the index
+   and the working tree for "intent-to-add" paths as a "new file"
+   patch; "git apply --cached" should be able to take "git diff-files"
+   and should act as an equivalent to "git add" for the path, but the
+   command failed to do so for such a path.
+   (merge 4c025c667e rp/apply-cached-with-i-t-a later to maint).
+
+ * "git diff [<tree-ish>] $path" for a $path that is marked with i-t-a
+   bit was not showing the mode bits from the working tree.
+   (merge cb0dd22b82 rp/ita-diff-modefix later to maint).
+
+ * Ring buffer with size 4 used for bin-hex translation resulted in a
+   wrong object name in the sequencer's todo output, which has been
+   corrected.
+   (merge 5da69c0dac ak/sequencer-fix-find-uniq-abbrev later to maint).
+
+ * When given more than one target line ranges, "git blame -La,b
+   -Lc,d" was over-eager to coalesce groups of original lines and
+   showed incorrect results, which has been corrected.
+   (merge c2ebaa27d6 jk/blame-coalesce-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The regexp to identify the function boundary for FORTRAN programs
+   has been updated.
+   (merge 75c3b6b2e8 pb/userdiff-fortran-update later to maint).
+
+ * A few end-user facing messages have been updated to be
+   hash-algorithm agnostic.
+   (merge 4279000d3e jc/object-names-are-not-sha-1 later to maint).
+
+ * "unlink" emulation on MinGW has been optimized.
+   (merge 680e0b4524 jh/mingw-unlink later to maint).
+
+ * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
+   (merge 84544f2ea3 sk/typofixes later to maint).
+   (merge b17f411ab5 ar/help-guides-doc later to maint).
+   (merge 98c6871fad rs/grep-simpler-parse-object-or-die-call later to maint).

-COMMON DIFF OPTIONS
--------------------
+DIFF FORMATTING
+---------------
+
+By default, `git log` does not generate any diff output. The options
+below can be used to show the changes made by each commit.
+
+Note that unless one of `-c`, `--cc`, or `-m` is given, merge commits
+will never show a diff, even if a diff format like `--patch` is
+selected, nor will they match search options like `-S`. The exception is
+when `--first-parent` is in use, in which merges are treated like normal
+single-parent commits (this can be overridden by providing a
+combined-diff option or with `--no-diff-merges`).
+
+-c::
+	With this option, diff output for a merge commit
+	shows the differences from each of the parents to the merge result
+	simultaneously instead of showing pairwise diff between a parent
+	and the result one at a time. Furthermore, it lists only files
+	which were modified from all parents.
+
+--cc::
+	This flag implies the `-c` option and further compresses the
+	patch output by omitting uninteresting hunks whose contents in
+	the parents have only two variants and the merge result picks
+	one of them without modification.
+
+--combined-all-paths::
+	This flag causes combined diffs (used for merge commits) to
+	list the name of the file from all parents.  It thus only has
+	effect when -c or --cc are specified, and is likely only
+	useful if filename changes are detected (i.e. when either
+	rename or copy detection have been requested).
+
+-m::
+	This flag makes the merge commits show the full diff like
+	regular commits; for each merge parent, a separate log entry
+	and diff is generated. An exception is that only diff against
+	the first parent is shown when `--first-parent` option is given;
+	in that case, the output represents the changes the merge
+	brought _into_ the then-current branch.
+
+--diff-merges=off::
+--no-diff-merges::
+	Disable output of diffs for merge commits (default). Useful to
+	override `-m`, `-c`, or `--cc`.

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 
-List commits that are reachable by following the `parent` links from the
-given commit(s), but exclude commits that are reachable from the one(s)
-given with a '{caret}' in front of them.  The output is given in reverse
-chronological order by default.
-
-You can think of this as a set operation.  Commits given on the command
-line form a set of commits that are reachable from any of them, and then
-commits reachable from any of the ones given with '{caret}' in front are
-subtracted from that set.  The remaining commits are what comes out in the
-command's output.  Various other options and paths parameters can be used
-to further limit the result.
-
-Thus, the following command:
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-	$ git rev-list foo bar ^baz
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-means "list all the commits which are reachable from 'foo' or 'bar', but
-not from 'baz'".
-
-A special notation "'<commit1>'..'<commit2>'" can be used as a
-short-hand for "{caret}'<commit1>' '<commit2>'". For example, either of
-the following may be used interchangeably:
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-	$ git rev-list origin..HEAD
-	$ git rev-list HEAD ^origin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Another special notation is "'<commit1>'...'<commit2>'" which is useful
-for merges.  The resulting set of commits is the symmetric difference
-between the two operands.  The following two commands are equivalent:
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-	$ git rev-list A B --not $(git merge-base --all A B)
-	$ git rev-list A...B

+List commits that are reachable by following the `parent` links from the
+given commit(s), but exclude commits that are reachable from the one(s)
+given with a '{caret}' in front of them.  The output is given in reverse
+chronological order by default.
+
+You can think of this as a set operation. Commits reachable from any of
+the commits given on the command line form a set, and then commits reachable
+from any of the ones given with '{caret}' in front are subtracted from that
+set.  The remaining commits are what comes out in the command's output.
+Various other options and paths parameters can be used to further limit the
+result.
+
+Thus, the following command:
+
+ifdef::git-rev-list[]
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+$ git rev-list foo bar ^baz
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+endif::git-rev-list[]
+ifdef::git-log[]
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+$ git log foo bar ^baz
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+endif::git-log[]
+
+means "list all the commits which are reachable from 'foo' or 'bar', but
+not from 'baz'".
+
+A special notation "'<commit1>'..'<commit2>'" can be used as a
+short-hand for "^'<commit1>' '<commit2>'". For example, either of
+the following may be used interchangeably:
+
+ifdef::git-rev-list[]
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+$ git rev-list origin..HEAD
+$ git rev-list HEAD ^origin
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+endif::git-rev-list[]
+ifdef::git-log[]
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+$ git log origin..HEAD
+$ git log HEAD ^origin
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+endif::git-log[]
+
+Another special notation is "'<commit1>'...'<commit2>'" which is useful
+for merges.  The resulting set of commits is the symmetric difference
+between the two operands.  The following two commands are equivalent:
+
+ifdef::git-rev-list[]
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+$ git rev-list A B --not $(git merge-base --all A B)

-Listed below are options that control the formatting of diff output.
-Some of them are specific to linkgit:git-rev-list[1], however other diff
-options may be given. See linkgit:git-diff-files[1] for more options.
-
--c::
-	With this option, diff output for a merge commit
-	shows the differences from each of the parents to the merge result
-	simultaneously instead of showing pairwise diff between a parent
-	and the result one at a time. Furthermore, it lists only files
-	which were modified from all parents.
-
---cc::
-	This flag implies the `-c` option and further compresses the
-	patch output by omitting uninteresting hunks whose contents in
-	the parents have only two variants and the merge result picks
-	one of them without modification.
-
---combined-all-paths::
-	This flag causes combined diffs (used for merge commits) to
-	list the name of the file from all parents.  It thus only has
-	effect when -c or --cc are specified, and is likely only
-	useful if filename changes are detected (i.e. when either
-	rename or copy detection have been requested).
-
--m::
-	This flag makes the merge commits show the full diff like
-	regular commits; for each merge parent, a separate log entry
-	and diff is generated. An exception is that only diff against
-	the first parent is shown when `--first-parent` option is given;
-	in that case, the output represents the changes the merge
-	brought _into_ the then-current branch.

+Instructions to run CMake:
+
+cmake `relative-path-to-CMakeLists.txt` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+Eg.
+From the root of git source tree
+	`cmake contrib/buildsystems/ `
+This will build the git binaries at the root
+
+For out of source builds, say build in 'git/git-build/'
+	`mkdir git-build;cd git-build; cmake ../contrib/buildsystems/`
+This will build the git binaries in git-build directory
+
+Possible build configurations(-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE) with corresponding
+compiler flags
+Debug : -g
+Release: -O3
+RelWithDebInfo : -O2 -g
+MinSizeRel : -Os
+empty(default) :
+
+NOTE: -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is optional. For multi-config generators like Visual Studio
+this option is ignored
+
+This process generates a Makefile(Linux/*BSD/MacOS) , Visual Studio solution(Windows) by default.
+Run `make` to build Git on Linux/*BSD/MacOS.
+Open git.sln on Windows and build Git.
+
+NOTE: By default CMake uses Makefile as the build tool on Linux and Visual Studio in Windows,
+to use another tool say `ninja` add this to the command line when configuring.

 # Notes: In commit A, directory z got renamed to y.  In commit B, directory z
 #        did NOT get renamed; the directory is still present; instead it is
 #        considered to have just renamed a subset of paths in directory z
-#        elsewhere.  Therefore, the directory rename done in commit A to z/
-#        applies to z/d and maps it to y/d.
+#        elsewhere.  However, this is much like testcase 6b (where commit B
+#        moves all the original paths out of z/ but opted to keep d
+#        within z/).  This makes it hard to judge where d should end up.
 #
 #        It's possible that users would get confused about this, but what
-#        should we do instead?  Silently leaving at z/d seems just as bad or
-#        maybe even worse.  Perhaps we could print a big warning about z/d
-#        and how we're moving to y/d in this case, but when I started thinking
-#        about the ramifications of doing that, I didn't know how to rule out
-#        that opening other weird edge and corner cases so I just punted.
+#        should we do instead?  It's not at all clear to me whether z/d or
+#        y/d or something else is a better resolution here, and other cases
+#        start getting really tricky, so I just picked one.
