HPA suggests it is simply silly to imitate Linux versioning
scheme where the leading "2" does not mean anything anymore, and
I tend to agree.
The first feature release after 1.0.0 will be 1.1.0, and the
development path leading to 1.1.0 will carry 1.0.GIT as the
version number from now on. Similarly, the third maintenance
release that follows 1.0.0 will not be 1.0.0c as planned, but
will be called 1.0.3. The "maint" branch will merge in fixes
and immediately tagged, so there is no need for 1.0.2.GIT that
is in between 1.0.2 (aka 1.0.0b) and 1.0.3.

Oh, I hate to do this but I ended up merging big usage string
cleanups from Fredrik, git-am enhancements that made a lot of
sense for non mbox users from HPA, and rebase changes (done
independently by me and Lukas) among other things, so git is
still in perpetual state of 1.0rc. 1.0 will probably be next
Wednesday, but who knows.

This is GIT 1.0-rc1 in disguise. It is plausible that
relatively new parts of the system still need tweaking and
fixing, but that is why it is not 1.0 but rc ;-).

Another snapshot, as slow and steady marth towards 1.0 continues.
Major changes include:
- Jim Radford's RPM split.
- Fredrik's recursive merge strategy is now default for two heads merge.
- Yaacov's SVN importer updates.

This contains the changes made on the master branch since 0.99.9a.
The workaround for building RPMs has not changed since 0.99.9a,
mainly because I haven't heard back if it was good enough for
kernel.org consumption, or otherwise what changes are needed.

Done in 0.99.9
==============
Ports
~~~~~
* Cygwin port [HPA].
* OpenBSD build [Merlyn and others].
Fixes
~~~~~
* clone request over git native protocol from a repository with
too many refs did not work; this has been fixed.
* git-daemon got safer for kernel.org use [HPA].
* Extended SHA1 parser was not enforcing uniqueness for
abbreviated SHA1; this has been fixed.
* http transport does not barf on funny characters in URL.
* The ref naming restrictions have been formalized and the
coreish refuses to create funny refs; we still need to audit
importers. See git-check-ref-format(1).
New Features and Commands
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* .git/config file as a per-repository configuration mechanism,
and some commands understand it [Linus]. See
git(7).
* The core.filemode configuration item can be used to make us a
bit more FAT friendly. See git(7).
* The extended SHA1 notation acquired Peel-the-onion operator
^{type} and ^{}. See git-rev-parse(1).
* SVN importer [Matthias]. See git-svnimport(1).
* .git/objects/[0-9a-f]{2} directories are created on demand,
and removed when becomes empty after prune-packed [Linus].
* Filenames output from various commands without -z option are
quoted when they embed funny characters (TAB and LF) using
C-style quoting within double-quotes, to match the proposed
GNU diff/patch notation [me, but many people contributed in
the discussion].
* git-mv is expected to be a better replacement for git-rename.
While the latter has two parameter restriction, it acts more
like the regular 'mv' that can move multiple things to one
destinatino directory [Josef Weidendorfer].
* git-checkout can take filenames to revert the changes to
them. See git-checkout(1)
* The new program git-am is a replacement for git-applymbox that
has saner command line options and a bit easier to use when a
patch does not apply cleanly.
* git-ls-remote can show unwrapped onions using ^{} notation, to
help Cogito to track tags.
* git-merge-recursive backend can merge unrelated projects.
* git-clone over native transport leaves the result packed.
* git-http-fetch issues multiple requests in parallel when
underlying cURL library supports it [Nick and Daniel].
* git-fetch-pack and git-upload-pack try harder to figure out
better common commits [Johannes].
* git-read-tree -u removes a directory when it makes it empty.
* git-diff-* records abbreviated SHA1 names of original and
resulting blob; this sometimes helps to apply otherwise an
unapplicable patch by falling back to 3-way merge.
* git-format-patch now takes series of from..to rev ranges and
with '-m --stdout', writes them out to the standard output.
This can be piped to 'git-am' to implement cheaper
cherry-picking.
* git-tag takes '-u' to specify the tag signer identity [Linus].
* git-rev-list can take optional pathspecs to skip commits that
do not touch them (--dense) [Linus].
* Comes with new and improved gitk [Paulus and Linus].

Yes I said 0.99.8e was the last maintenance release for 0.99.8, but it
turns out that there was another backport necessary after git-daemon
was unleashed on kernel.org servers.
Contains the following since 0.99.8e:
H. Peter Anvin:
revised^2: git-daemon extra paranoia, and path DWIM
Johannes Schindelin:
Fix cvsimport warning when called without --no-cvs-direct
Junio C Hamano:
Do not ask for objects known to be complete.
Linus Torvalds:

Linus Torvalds:

Junio C Hamano:

Update git-apply to use C-style quoting for funny pathnames.
Do not quote SP.
git-checkout-index: documentation updates.

Deb packaging claim we depend on patch, but I think we use git-apply
where it matters. When a patch does not apply with git-apply, using
GNU patch still is helpful sometimes. So demote it from "Depends" to
"Suggests".

Contains the following changes since v0.99.8c.
Johannes Schindelin:

t5400-send-pack relies on a working cpio
Jonas Fonseca:
git.sh: quote all paths
Junio C Hamano:
Also force LC_ALL in test scripts.
OpenBSD needs the strcasestr replacement.
git-check-ref-format: reject funny ref names.
Refuse to create funny refs in clone-pack, git-fetch and receive-pack.
Ignore funny refname sent from remote
Introduce notation "ref^{type}".
Martin Langhoff:
cvsimport: don't pass --cvs-direct if user options contradict us
Ralf Baechle:
rsh.c: typo fix
Note that "funny ref" bits are not strictly fixes but rather
backport from the "master" branch. They will prevent refs and
heads with funny names from being created. In addition, what is
in the master branch will start feeding the clients unwrapped
tag information to help Martin's findtags and possibly later
Cogito. These backported "funny ref" changes are to prevent
clients on the "maint" branch from getting confused when talking
with newer git-upload-pack and when reading from info/refs file
prepared with newer git-update-server-info.
