+Git v2.46 Release Notes
+=======================
+
+Backward Compatibility Notes
+
+ (None at this moment)
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * The "--rfc" option of "git format-patch" learned to take an
+   optional string value to be used in place of "RFC" to tweak the
+   "[PATCH]" on the subject header.
+
+ * The credential helper protocol, together with the HTTP layer, have
+   been enhanced to support authentication schemes different from
+   username & password pair, like Bearer and NTLM.
+
+ * Command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete
+   "git symbolic-ref" a bit better (you need to enable plumbing
+   commands to be completed with GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS).
+
+ * When the user responds to a prompt given by "git add -p" with an
+   unsupported command, list of available commands were given, which
+   was too much if the user knew what they wanted to type but merely
+   made a typo.  Now the user gets a much shorter error message.
+
+ * The color parsing code learned to handle 12-bit RGB colors, spelled
+   as "#RGB" (in addition to "#RRGGBB" that is already supported).
+
+ * The operation mode options (like "--get") the "git config" command
+   uses have been deprecated and replaced with subcommands (like "git
+   config get").
+
+ * "git tag" learned the "--trailer" option to futz with the trailers
+   in the same way as "git commit" does.
+
+ * A new global "--no-advice" option can be used to disable all advice
+   messages, which is meant to be used only in scripts.
+
+ * Updates to symbolic refs can now be made as a part of ref
+   transaction.
+
+ * The trailer API has been reshuffled a bit.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * Advertise "git contacts", a tool for newcomers to find people to
+   ask review for their patches, a bit more in our developer
+   documentation.
+
+ * In addition to building the objects needed, try to link the objects
+   that are used in fuzzer tests, to make sure at least they build
+   without bitrot, in Linux CI runs.
+
+ * Code to write out reftable has seen some optimization and
+   simplification.
+
+ * Tests to ensure interoperability between reftable written by jgit
+   and our code have been added and enabled in CI.
+
+ * The singleton index_state instance "the_index" has been eliminated
+   by always instantiating "the_repository" and replacing references
+   to "the_index"  with references to its .index member.
+
+ * Git-GUI has a new maintainer, Johannes Sixt.
+   (merge e18ad8eb26 jc/git-gui-maintainer-update later to maint).
+
+ * The "test-tool" has been taught to run testsuite tests in parallel,
+   bypassing the need to use the "prove" tool.
+
+ * The "whitespace check" task that was enabled for GitHub Actions CI
+   has been ported to GitLab CI.
+
+ * The refs API lost functions that implicitly assumes to work on the
+   primary ref_store by forcing the callers to pass a ref_store as an
+   argument.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.45
+-----------------
+
+ * "git rebase --signoff" used to forget that it needs to add a
+   sign-off to the resulting commit when told to continue after a
+   conflict stops its operation.
+   (merge a6c2654f83 pw/rebase-m-signoff-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The procedure to build multi-pack-index got confused by the
+   replace-refs mechanism, which has been corrected by disabling the
+   latter.
+   (merge 93e2ae1c95 xx/disable-replace-when-building-midx later to maint).
+
+ * The "-k" and "--rfc" options of "format-patch" will now error out
+   when used together, as one tells us not to add anything to the
+   title of the commit, and the other one tells us to add "RFC" in
+   addition to "PATCH".
+   (merge cadcf58085 ds/format-patch-rfc-and-k later to maint).
+
+ * "git stash -S" did not handle binary files correctly, which has
+   been corrected.
+   (merge 5fb7686409 aj/stash-staged-fix later to maint).
+
+ * A scheduled "git maintenance" job is expected to work on all
+   repositories it knows about, but it stopped at the first one that
+   errored out.  Now it keeps going.
+   (merge c75662bfc9 js/for-each-repo-keep-going later to maint).
+
+ * zsh can pretend to be a normal shell pretty well except for some
+   glitches that we tickle in some of our scripts. Work them around
+   so that "vimdiff" and our test suite works well enough with it.
+   (merge fedd5c79ff bc/zsh-compatibility later to maint).
+
+ * Command line completion support for zsh (in contrib/) has been
+   updated to stop exposing internal state to end-user shell
+   interaction.
+   (merge 3c20acdf46 dk/zsh-git-repo-path-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Tests that try to corrupt in-repository files in chunked format did
+   not work well on macOS due to its broken "mv", which has been
+   worked around.
+   (merge 861dc19ba8 jc/test-workaround-broken-mv later to maint).
+
+ * The maximum size of attribute files is enforced more consistently.
+   (merge c793f9cb08 tb/attr-limits later to maint).
+
+ * Unbreak CI jobs so that we do not attempt to use Python 2 that has
+   been removed from the platform.
+   (merge 5ca0c455f1 ps/ci-python-2-deprecation later to maint).
+
+ * Git 2.43 started using the tree of HEAD as the source of attributes
+   in a bare repository, which has severe performance implications.
+   For now, revert the change, without ripping out a more explicit
+   support for the attr.tree configuration variable.
+   (merge 51441e6460 jc/no-default-attr-tree-in-bare later to maint).
+
+ * The "--exit-code" option of "git diff" command learned to work with
+   the "--ext-diff" option.
+   (merge 11be65cfa4 rs/external-diff-with-exit-code later to maint).
+
+ * Windows CI running in GitHub Actions started complaining about the
+   order of arguments given to calloc(); the imported regex code uses
+   the wrong order almost consistently, which has been corrected.
+   (merge f01301aabe jc/compat-regex-calloc-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Expose "name conflict" error when a ref creation fails due to D/F
+   conflict in the ref namespace, to improve an error message given by
+   "git fetch".
+   (merge 9339fca23e it/refs-name-conflict later to maint).
+
+ * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
+   (merge 4cf6e7bf5e jt/doc-submitting-rerolled-series later to maint).
+   (merge a5a4cb7b27 rs/diff-parseopts-cleanup later to maint).
+   (merge 395c130fd8 ma/win32-unix-domain-socket later to maint).
+   (merge 7df2405b38 jk/ci-macos-gcc13-fix later to maint).
+   (merge 55702c543e fa/p4-error later to maint).
+   (merge 2566a77774 vd/doc-merge-tree-x-option later to maint).
+   (merge b64b0df9da ds/scalar-reconfigure-all-fix later to maint).
+   (merge c81ffcff83 dm/update-index-doc-fix later to maint).
+   (merge fc0202b0e9 dg/fetch-pack-code-cleanup later to maint).
