+Updates since v2.3

+------------------
6

7
+Ports
8
+
9
+
10
+UI, Workflows & Features
11
+
12
+ * The command usage info strings given by "git cmd -h" and in
13
+ documentation have been tweaked for consistency.
14
+
15
+ * The "sync" subcommand of "git p4" now allows users to exclude
16
+ subdirectories like its "clone" subcommand does.
17
+
18
+ * "git log --invert-grep --grep=WIP" will show only commits that do
19
+ not have the string "WIP" in their messages.
20
+
21
+ * "git push" has been taught a "--atomic" option that makes push to
22
+ update more than one ref an "all-or-none" affair.
23
+
24
+ * Extending the "push to deploy" added in 2.3, the behaviour of "git
25
+ push" when updating the branch that is checked out can now be
26
+ tweaked by push-to-checkout hook.
27
+
28
+
29
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
30
+
31
+ * Implementation of N_() macro has been updated slightly to help us
32
+ detect mistakes.
33
+
34
+ * Implementation of "reflog expire" has been restructured to fit the
35
+ reflogs better with the recently updated ref API.
36
+
37
+
38
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

41
+Fixes since v2.3
42
+----------------
43
+
44
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.3 in the maintenance
45
+track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
46
+notes for details).
47
+
48
+ * "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it
49
+ tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD".
50
+ (merge a46442f jk/blame-commit-label later to maint).
51
+
52
+ * "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
53
+ not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
54
+ files and failed to do so for whatever reason.
55
+ (merge 89ea903 jn/rerere-fail-on-auto-update-failure later to maint).
56
+
57
+ * Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce
58
+ broken patches.
59
+ (merge 339de50 dk/format-patch-ignore-diff-submodule later to maint).
60
+
61
+ * After attempting and failing a password-less authentication
62
+ (e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based
63
+ Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement.
64
+ (merge 4dbe664 bc/http-fallback-to-password-after-krb-fails later to maint).
