+Git v2.43 Release Notes
+=======================
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * A message written in olden time prevented a branch from getting
+ checked out saying it is already checked out elsewhere, but these
+ days, we treat a branch that is being bisected or rebased just like
+ a branch that is checked out and protect it. Rephrase the message
+ to say that the branch is in use.
+
+ * Hourly and other schedule of "git maintenance" jobs are randomly
+ distributed now.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * TBD.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.42
+-----------------
+
+ * Overly long label names used in the sequencer machinery are now
+ chopped to fit under filesystem limitation.
+ (merge ac300bda10 mp/rebase-label-length-limit later to maint).
+
+ * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
+ (merge fd3ba590d8 ws/git-push-doc-grammofix later to maint).
+ (merge 5f33a843de ds/upload-pack-error-sequence-fix later to maint).
