Git v2.42 Release Notes
=======================
UI, Workflows & Features
* "git pack-refs" learns "--include" and "--exclude" to tweak the ref
hierarchy to be packed using pattern matching.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* "git diff-tree" has been taught to take advantage of the
sparse-index feature.
* Clang's sanitizer implementation seems to work better than GCC's.
(merge d88d727143 jk/ci-use-clang-for-sanitizer-jobs later to maint).
Fixes since v2.41
-----------------
* "git tag" learned to leave the "$GIT_DIR/TAG_EDITMSG" file when the
command failed, so that the user can salvage what they typed.
(merge 08c12ec1d0 kh/keep-tag-editmsg-upon-failure later to maint).
* The "-s" (silent, squelch) option of the "diff" family of commands
did not interact with other options that specify the output format
well. This has been cleaned up so that it will clear all the
formatting options given before.
(merge 9d484b92ed jc/diff-s-with-other-options later to maint).
* Update documentation regarding Coccinelle patches.
(merge 3bd0097cfc gc/doc-cocci-updates later to maint).
* Some atoms that can be used in "--format=<format>" for "git ls-tree"
were not supported by "git ls-files", even though they were relevant
in the context of the latter.
(merge 4d28c4f75f zh/ls-files-format-atoms later to maint).
* Document more pseudo-refs and teach the command line completion
machinery to complete AUTO_MERGE.
(merge 982ff3a649 pb/complete-and-document-auto-merge-and-friends later to maint).
* "git submodule" code trusted the data coming from the config (and
the in-tree .gitmodules file) too much without validating, leading
to NULL dereference if the user mucks with a repository (e.g.
submodule.<name>.url is removed). This has been corrected.
(merge fbc806acd1 tb/submodule-null-deref-fix later to maint).
* The value of config.worktree is per-repository, but has been kept
in a singleton global variable per process. This has been OK as
most Git operations interacted with a single repository at a time,
but not right for operations like recursive "grep" that want to
access multiple repositories from a single process without forking.
The global variable has been eliminated and made into a member in
the per-repository data structure.
(merge 3867f6d650 vd/worktree-config-is-per-repository later to maint).
* "git [-c log.follow=true] log [--follow] ':(glob)f**'" used to barf.
(merge 8260bc5902 jk/log-follow-with-non-literal-pathspec later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge 51f9d2e563 sa/doc-ls-remote later to maint).
(merge c6d26a9dda jk/format-patch-message-id-unleak later to maint).
(merge f7e063f326 ps/fetch-cleanups later to maint).
