+Git v2.8.4 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v2.8.3
5
+------------------
6
+
7
+ * Documentation for "git merge --verify-signatures" has been updated
8
+ to clarify that the signature of only the commit at the tip is
9
+ verified. Also the phrasing used for signature and key validity is
10
+ adjusted to align with that used by OpenPGP.
11
+
12
+ * On Windows, .git and optionally any files whose name starts with a
13
+ dot are now marked as hidden, with a core.hideDotFiles knob to
14
+ customize this behaviour.
15
+
16
+ * Portability enhancement for "rebase -i" to help platforms whose
17
+ shell does not like "for i in <empty>" (which is not POSIX-kosher).
18
+
19
+ * "git fsck" learned to catch NUL byte in a commit object as
20
+ potential error and warn.
21
+
22
+ * CI test was taught to build documentation pages.
23
+
24
+ * Many 'linkgit:<git documentation page>' references were broken,
25
+ which are all fixed with this.
26
+
27
+Also contains other minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
