+Git 2.33 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Backward compatibility notes
+----------------------------
+
+ * The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format,
+   if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now
+   implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced.
+
+   You can disable the diff output with "git log -m --no-patch", but
+   then there probably isn't much point in passing "-m" in the first
+   place ;-).
+
+
+Updates since Git 2.32
+----------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * "git send-email" learned the "--sendmail-cmd" command line option
+   and the "sendemail.sendmailCmd" configuration variable, which is a
+   more sensible approach than the current way of repurposing the
+   "smtp-server" that is meant to name the server to instead name the
+   command to talk to the server.
+
+ * The "-m" option in "git log -m" that does not specify which format,
+   if any, of diff is desired did not have any visible effect; it now
+   implies some form of diff (by default "--patch") is produced.
+
+ * The userdiff pattern for C# learned the token "record".
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * The code to handle the "--format" option in "for-each-ref" and
+   friends made too many string comparisons on %(atom)s used in the
+   format string, which has been corrected by converting them into
+   enum when the format string is parsed.
+
+ * Use the hashfile API in the codepath that writes the index file to
+   reduce code duplication.
+
+ * Repeated rename detections in a sequence of mergy operations have
+   been optimize out.
+
+ * Preliminary clean-up of tests before the main reftable changes
+   hits the codebase.
+
+ * The backend for "diff -G/-S" has been updated to use pcre2 engine
+   when available.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.32
+-----------------
+
+ * We historically rejected a very short string as an author name
+   while accepting a patch e-mail, which has been loosened.
+   (merge 72ee47ceeb ef/mailinfo-short-name later to maint).
+
+ * The parallel checkout codepath did not initialize object ID field
+   used to talk to the worker processes in a futureproof way.
+
+ * Rewrite code that triggers undefined behaviour warning.
+   (merge aafa5df0df jn/size-t-casted-to-off-t-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The description of "fast-forward" in the glossary has been updated.
+   (merge e22f2daed0 ry/clarify-fast-forward-in-glossary later to maint).
+
+ * Recent "git clone" left a temporary directory behind when the
+   transport layer returned an failure.
+   (merge 6aacb7d861 jk/clone-clean-upon-transport-error later to maint).
+
+ * "git fetch" over protocol v2 left its side of the socket open after
+   it finished speaking, which unnecessarily wasted the resource on
+   the other side.
+   (merge ae1a7eefff jk/fetch-pack-v2-half-close-early later to maint).
+
+ * The command line completion (in contrib/) learned that "git diff"
+   takes the "--anchored" option.
+   (merge d1e7c2cac9 tb/complete-diff-anchored later to maint).
+
+ * "git-svn" tests assumed that "locale -a", which is used to pick an
+   available UTF-8 locale, is available everywhere.  A knob has been
+   introduced to allow testers to specify a suitable locale to use.
+   (merge 482c962de4 dd/svn-test-wo-locale-a later to maint).
+
+ * Update "git subtree" to work better on Windows.
+   (merge 77f37de39f js/subtree-on-windows-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Remove multimail from contrib/
+   (merge f74d11471f js/no-more-multimail later to maint).
+
+ * Make the codebase MSAN clean.
+   (merge 4dbc55e87d ah/uninitialized-reads-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Work around inefficient glob substitution in older versions of bash
+   by rewriting parts of a test.
+   (merge eb87c6f559 jx/t6020-with-older-bash later to maint).
+
+ * Avoid duplicated work while building reachability bitmaps.
+   (merge aa9ad6fee5 jk/bitmap-tree-optim later to maint).
+
+ * We broke "GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t?000" to skip certain tests in recent
+   update, which got fixed.
+
+ * The side-band demultiplexer that is used to display progress output
+   from the remote end did not clear the line properly when the end of
+   line hits at a packet boundary, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Some test scripts assumed that readlink(1) was universally
+   installed and available, which is not the case.
+   (merge 7c0afdf23c jk/test-without-readlink-1 later to maint).
+
+ * Recent update to completion script (in contrib/) broke those who
+   use the __git_complete helper to define completion to their custom
+   command.
+   (merge cea232194d fw/complete-cmd-idx-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Output from some of our tests were affected by the width of the
+   terminal that they were run in, which has been corrected by
+   exporting a fixed value in the COLUMNS environment.
+   (merge c49a177bec ab/fix-columns-to-80-during-tests later to maint).
+
+ * On Windows, mergetool has been taught to find kdiff3.exe just like
+   it finds winmerge.exe.
+   (merge 47eb4c6890 ms/mergetools-kdiff3-on-windows later to maint).
+
+ * When we cannot figure out how wide the terminal is, we use a
+   fallback value of 80 ourselves (which cannot be avoided), but when
+   we run the pager, we export it in COLUMNS, which forces the pager
+   to use the hardcoded value, even when the pager is perfectly
+   capable to figure it out itself.  Stop exporting COLUMNS when we
+   fall back on the hardcoded default value for our own use.
+   (merge 9b6e2c8b98 js/stop-exporting-bogus-columns later to maint).
+
+ * "git cat-file --batch-all-objects"" misbehaved when "--batch" is in
+   use and did not ask for certain object traits.
+   (merge ee02ac6164 zh/cat-file-batch-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Some code and doc clarification around "git push".
+
+ * The "union" conflict resultion variant misbehaved when used with
+   binary merge driver.
+   (merge 382b601acd jk/union-merge-binary later to maint).
+
+ * Prevent "git p4" from failing to submit changes to binary file.
+   (merge 54662d5958 dc/p4-binary-submit-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git grep --and -e foo" ought to have been diagnosed as an error
+   but instead segfaulted, which has been corrected.
+   (merge fe7fe62d8d rs/grep-parser-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
+   (merge bfe35a6165 ah/doc-describe later to maint).
