+Git 2.43.1 Release Notes
+========================
+
+There is nothing exciting to see here. Relative to Git 2.43, this
+release contains the fixes that have already been merged to the
+'master' branch of the development towards the next major release.
+
+Fixes since Git 2.43.0
+----------------------
+
+ * The way CI testing used "prove" could lead to running the test
+ suite twice needlessly, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Newer versions of Getopt::Long started giving warnings against our
+ (ab)use of it in "git send-email". Bump the minimum version
+ requirement for Perl to 5.8.1 (from September 2002) to allow
+ simplifying our implementation.
+
+ * Earlier we stopped relying on commit-graph that (still) records
+ information about commits that are lost from the object store,
+ which has negative performance implications. The default has been
+ flipped to disable this pessimization.
+
+ * Stale URLs have been updated to their current counterparts (or
+ archive.org) and HTTP links are replaced with working HTTPS links.
+
+ * trace2 streams used to record the URLs that potentially embed
+ authentication material, which has been corrected.
+
+ * The sample pre-commit hook that tries to catch introduction of new
+ paths that use potentially non-portable characters did not notice
+ an existing path getting renamed to such a problematic path, when
+ rename detection was enabled.
+
+ * The command line parser for the "log" family of commands was too
+ loose when parsing certain numbers, e.g., silently ignoring the
+ extra 'q' in "git log -n 1q" without complaining, which has been
+ tightened up.
+
+ * "git $cmd --end-of-options --rev -- --path" for some $cmd failed
+ to interpret "--rev" as a rev, and "--path" as a path. This was
+ fixed for many programs like "reset" and "checkout".
+
+ * "git bisect reset" has been taught to clean up state files and refs
+ even when BISECT_START file is gone.
+
+ * Some codepaths did not correctly parse configuration variables
+ specified with valueless "true", which has been corrected.
+
+ * Code clean-up for sanity checking of command line options for "git
+ show-ref".
+
+ * The code to parse the From e-mail header has been updated to avoid
+ recursion.
+
+ * "git fetch --atomic" issued an unnecessary empty error message,
+ which has been corrected.
+
+ * Command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to work better
+ with the reftable backend.
+
+ * "git status" is taught to show both the branch being bisected and
+ being rebased when both are in effect at the same time.
+ cf. <xmqqil76kyov.fsf@gitster.g>
+
+ * "git archive --list extra garbage" silently ignored excess command
+ line parameters, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git sparse-checkout set" added default patterns even when the
+ patterns are being fed from the standard input, which has been
+ corrected.
+
+ * Unlike other environment variables that took the usual
+ true/false/yes/no as well as 0/1, GIT_FLUSH only understood 0/1,
+ which has been corrected.
+
+ * Clearing in-core repository (happens during e.g., "git fetch
+ --recurse-submodules" with commit graph enabled) made in-core
+ commit object in an inconsistent state by discarding the necessary
+ data from commit-graph too early, which has been corrected.
+
+Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.
