Updates since v2.26
-------------------
Backward compatibility notes
* When "git describe C" finds that commit C is pointed by a signed or
annotated tag, which records T as its tagname in the object, the
command gives T as its answer. Even if the user renames or moves
such a tag from its natural location in the "refs/tags/" hierarchy,
"git describe C" would still give T as the answer, but in such a
case "git show T^0" would no longer work as expected. There may be
nothing at "refs/tags/T" or even worse there may be a different tag
instead.
Starting from this version, "git describe" will always use the
"long" version, as if the "--long" option were given, when giving
its output based on such a misplaced tag to work around the problem.
* "git pull" issues a warning message until the pull.rebase
configuration variable is explicitly given, which some existing
users may find annoying---those who prefer not to rebase need to
set the variable to false to squelch the warning.
UI, Workflows & Features
* A handful of options to configure SSL when talking to proxies have
been added.
* Smudge/clean conversion filters are now given more information
(e.g. the object of the tree-ish in which the blob being converted
appears, in addition to its path, which has already been given).
* When "git describe C" finds an annotated tag with tagname A to be
the best name to explain commit C, and the tag is stored in a
"wrong" place in the refs/tags hierarchy, e.g. refs/tags/B, the
command gave a warning message but used A (not B) to describe C.
If C is exactly at the tag, the describe output would be "A", but
"git rev-parse A^0" would not be equal as "git rev-parse C^0". The
behavior of the command has been changed to use the "long" form
i.e. A-0-gOBJECTNAME, which is correctly interpreted by rev-parse.
* "git pull" learned to warn when no pull.rebase configuration
exists, and neither --[no-]rebase nor --ff-only is given (which
would result a merge).
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The advise API has been revamped to allow more systematic enumeration of
advice knobs in the future.
* SHA-256 transition continues.
* The code to interface with GnuPG has been refactored.
* "git stash" has kept an escape hatch to use the scripted version
for a few releases, which got stale. It has been removed.
