+Git v2.1 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Updates since v2.0
+------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * "git commit --date=<date>" option learned to read from more
+   timestamp formats, including "--date=now".
+
+ * "git grep" learned grep.fullname configuration variable to force
+   "--full-name" to be default.  This may cause regressions on
+   scripted users that do not expect this new behaviour.
+
+ * "git merge" without argument, even when there is an upstream
+   defined for the current branch, refused to run until
+   merge.defaultToUpstream is set to true.  Flip the default of that
+   configuration variable to true.
+
+ * "git mergetool" learned to drive the vimdiff3 backend.
+
+ * mergetool.prompt used to default to 'true', always asking "do you
+   really want to run the tool on this path?".  Among the two
+   purposes this prompt serves, ignore the use case to confirm that
+   the user wants to view particular path with the named tool, and
+   redefine the meaning of the prompt only to confirm the choice of
+   the tool made by the autodetection (for those who configured the
+   tool explicitly, the prompt shown for the latter purpose is
+   simply annoying).
+
+   Strictly speaking, this is a backward incompatible change and the
+   users need to explicitly set the variable to 'true' if they want
+   to resurrect the now-ignored use case.
+
+ * "git svn" learned to cope with malformed timestamps with only one
+   digit in the hour part, e.g. 2014-01-07T5:01:02.048176Z, emitted
+   by some broken subversion server implementations.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, etc.
+
+ * "git diff" that compares 3-or-more trees (e.g. parents and the
+   result of a merge) have been optimized.
+
+ * The API to update/delete references are being converted to handle
+   updates to multiple references in a transactional way.  As an
+   example, "update-ref --stdin [-z]" has been updated to use this
+   API.
+
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.0
+----------------
+
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.0 in the maintenance
+track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
+notes for details).
+
+ * "--ignore-space-change" option of "git apply" ignored the spaces
+   at the beginning of line too aggressively, which is inconsistent
+   with the option of the same name "diff" and "git diff" have.
+   (merge 14d3bb4 jc/apply-ignore-whitespace later to maint).
+
+ * "git blame" miscounted number of columns needed to show localized
+   timestamps, resulting in jaggy left-side-edge of the source code
+   lines in its output.
+   (merge dd75553 jx/blame-align-relative-time later to maint).
+
+ * We used to disable threaded "git index-pack" on platforms without
+   thread-safe pread(); use a different workaround for such
+   platforms to allow threaded "git index-pack".
+   (merge 3953949 nd/index-pack-one-fd-per-thread later to maint).
+
+ * "git rerere forget" did not work well when merge.conflictstyle
+   was set to a non-default value.
+   (merge de3d8bb fc/rerere-conflict-style later to maint).
+
+ * "git status", even though it is a read-only operation, tries to
+   update the index with refreshed lstat(2) info to optimize future
+   accesses to the working tree opportunistically, but this could
+   race with a "read-write" operation that modify the index while it
+   is running.  Detect such a race and avoid overwriting the index.
+   (merge 426ddee ym/fix-opportunistic-index-update-race later to maint).
