There were some early changes in the 2.31 cycle to optimize some setup
in diffcore-rename.c[1], some later changes to measure performance[2],
and finally some significant changes to improve rename detection
performance. The final one was merged with the note
Performance optimization work on the rename detection continues.
That works for the commit log, but feels misleading as a release note
since all the changes were within one cycle. Simplify this to just
Performance improvements for rename detection.
The former wording could be seen as hinting that more performance
improvements will come in 2.32, which is true, but we can just cover
those in the 2.32 release notes when the time comes.

The logic to handle "trailer" related placeholders in the
"--format=" mechanisms in the "log" family and "for-each-ref"
family is getting unified.
* hv/trailer-formatting:
ref-filter: use pretty.c logic for trailers
pretty.c: capture invalid trailer argument
pretty.c: refactor trailer logic to `format_set_trailers_options()`
t6300: use function to test trailer options
The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is
attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core,
inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be
applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree
object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as
".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as
".gitmodules" file, for example. Teach "index-pack" to emit
objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling
"fetch-pack" process.
* jt/transfer-fsck-across-packs:
fetch-pack: print and use dangling .gitmodules
fetch-pack: with packfile URIs, use index-pack arg
http-fetch: allow custom index-pack args
http: allow custom index-pack args
The common code to deal with "chunked file format" that is shared
by the multi-pack-index and commit-graph files have been factored
out, to help codepaths for both filetypes to become more robust.
* ds/chunked-file-api:
commit-graph.c: display correct number of chunks when writing
chunk-format: add technical docs
chunk-format: restore duplicate chunk checks
midx: use 64-bit multiplication for chunk sizes
midx: use chunk-format read API
commit-graph: use chunk-format read API
chunk-format: create read chunk API
midx: use chunk-format API in write_midx_internal()
midx: drop chunk progress during write
midx: return success/failure in chunk write methods
midx: add num_large_offsets to write_midx_context
midx: add pack_perm to write_midx_context
midx: add entries to write_midx_context
midx: use context in write_midx_pack_names()
midx: rename pack_info to write_midx_context
commit-graph: use chunk-format write API
chunk-format: create chunk format write API
commit-graph: anonymize data in chunk_write_fn
Performance optimization work on the rename detection continues.
* en/diffcore-rename:
merge-ort: call diffcore_rename() directly
gitdiffcore doc: mention new preliminary step for rename detection
diffcore-rename: guide inexact rename detection based on basenames
diffcore-rename: complete find_basename_matches()
diffcore-rename: compute basenames of source and dest candidates
t4001: add a test comparing basename similarity and content similarity
diffcore-rename: filter rename_src list when possible
diffcore-rename: no point trying to find a match better than exact
A handful of multi-word configuration variable names in
documentation that are spelled in all lowercase have been corrected
to use the more canonical camelCase.
* dl/doc-config-camelcase:
index-format doc: camelCase core.excludesFile
blame-options.txt: camelcase blame.blankBoundary
i18n.txt: camel case and monospace "i18n.commitEncoding"
"git rebase --[no-]fork-point" gained a configuration variable
rebase.forkPoint so that users do not have to keep specifying a
non-default setting.
* ah/rebase-no-fork-point-config:

"git difftool" learned "--skip-to=<path>" option to restart an
interrupted session from an arbitrary path.
* zh/difftool-skip-to:
difftool.c: learn a new way start at specified file
"git {diff,log} --{skip,rotate}-to=<path>" allows the user to
discard diff output for early paths or move them to the end of the
output.
* jc/diffcore-rotate:
diff: --{rotate,skip}-to=<path>
Objects that lost references can be pruned away, even when they
have notes attached to it (and these notes will become dangling,
which in turn can be pruned with "git notes prune"). This has been
clarified in the documentation.

We describe the more strict date formats accepted by GIT_COMMITTER_DATE,
etc, but the --date option also allows the looser approxidate formats,
as well. Unfortunately we don't have a good or complete reference for
this format, but let's at least mention that it _is_ looser, and give a
few examples.
If we ever write separate, more complete date-format documentation, we
should refer to it from here.

On Windows we can't delete or overwrite files opened by other processes. Here we

We propose to use a random element in the filename. It's possible to design an
alternate solution based on counters, but that would assign semantics to the

`git difftool` only allow us to select file to view in turn.
If there is a commit with many files and we exit in the middle,
we will have to traverse list again to get the file diff which
we want to see. Therefore,teach the command an option
`--skip-to=<path>` to allow the user to say that diffs for earlier
paths are not interesting (because they were already seen in an
earlier session) and start this session with the named path.

Teach index-pack to print dangling .gitmodules links after its "keep" or
"pack" line instead of declaring an error, and teach fetch-pack to check
such lines printed.
This allows the tree side of the .gitmodules link to be in one packfile
and the blob side to be in another without failing the fsck check,
because it is now fetch-pack which checks such objects after all
packfiles have been downloaded and indexed (and not index-pack on an
individual packfile, as it is before this commit).

Both AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor are eager to pick up the e-mail addresses
in this document and turn them into references at the bottom of the
manpage / clickable links. We don't really need that for these dummy
addresses. Spell "@" as "@" to make them not do this. In the open
block, we can instead avoid this by indenting the contents, similar to
the earlier blocks.
Fix a backtick which should have been a single quote mark. With all the
quoting that is going on around here, this mistake trips up the parsing
and rendering quite a bit.
Before this commit, we have the same failure mode with AsciiDoc 8.6.10

We currently don't show any examples of using git-rev-list at all. Let's
add some pretty elementary examples. They likely seem obvious to anybody
who has worked with the tool for a while, but my purpose here is
two-fold:
- they may be enlightening to people who haven't used the tool a lot
to give a general flavor of how it is meant to be used
- they can serve as a starting point for adding more interesting
examples (we can do that without the basic ones, of course, but I
think it makes sense to show off the building blocks)
This set is far from exhaustive, but again, the purpose is to be a
starting point for further additions.

In the implementation of "git difftool", there is a case where the
user wants to start viewing the diffs at a specific path and
continue on to the rest, optionally wrapping around to the
beginning. Since it is somewhat cumbersome to implement such a
feature as a post-processing step of "git diff" output, let's
support it internally with two new options.
- "git diff --rotate-to=C", when the resulting patch would show
paths A B C D E without the option, would "rotate" the paths to
shows patch to C D E A B instead. It is an error when there is
no patch for C is shown.
- "git diff --skip-to=C" would instead "skip" the paths before C,
and shows patch to C D E. Again, it is an error when there is no
patch for C is shown.
- "git log [-p]" also accepts these two options, but it is not an
error if there is no change to the specified path. Instead, the
set of output paths are rotated or skipped to the specified path
or the first path that sorts after the specified path.
