+ * The test scripts for "git p4" (but not "git p4" implementation
71
+ itself) has been updated so that they would work even on a system
72
+ where the installed version of Python is python 3.
73

74
+ * The "user.useConfigOnly" configuration variable makes it an error
75
+ if users do not explicitly set user.name and user.email. However,
76
+ its check was not done early enough and allowed another error to
77
+ trigger, reporting that the default value we guessed from the
78
+ system setting was unusable. This was a suboptimal end-user
79
+ experience as we want the users to set user.name/user.email without
80
+ relying on the auto-detection at all.
81
+
82
+ * "git mv old new" did not adjust the path for a submodule that lives
83
+ as a subdirectory inside old/ directory correctly.
84
+
85
+ * "git push" from a corrupt repository that attempts to push a large
86
+ number of refs deadlocked; the thread to relay rejection notices
87
+ for these ref updates blocked on writing them to the main thread,
88
+ after the main thread at the receiving end notices that the push
89
+ failed and decides not to read these notices and return a failure.
90
+
91
+ * A question by "git send-email" to ask the identity of the sender
92
+ has been updated.
93
+
94
+ * Recent update to Git LFS broke "git p4" by changing the output from
95
+ its "lfs pointer" subcommand.
96
+
97
+ * Some multi-byte encoding can have a backslash byte as a later part
98
+ of one letter, which would confuse "highlight" filter used in
99
+ gitweb.
