+Git 2.46.1 Release Notes
+========================
+
+This release is primarily to merge fixes accumulated on the 'master'
+front to prepare for 2.47 release that are still relevant to 2.46.x
+maintenance track.
+
+Fixes since Git 2.46
+--------------------
+
+ * "git checkout --ours" (no other arguments) complained that the
+ option is incompatible with branch switching, which is technically
+ correct, but found confusing by some users. It now says that the
+ user needs to give pathspec to specify what paths to checkout.
+
+ * It has been documented that we avoid "VAR=VAL shell_func" and why.
+
+ * "git add -p" by users with diff.suppressBlankEmpty set to true
+ failed to parse the patch that represents an unmodified empty line
+ with an empty line (not a line with a single space on it), which
+ has been corrected.
+
+ * "git rebase --help" referred to "offset" (the difference between
+ the location a change was taken from and the change gets replaced)
+ incorrectly and called it "fuzz", which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git notes add -m '' --allow-empty" and friends that take prepared
+ data to create notes should not invoke an editor, but it started
+ doing so since Git 2.42, which has been corrected.
+
+ * An expensive operation to prepare tracing was done in re-encoding
+ code path even when the tracing was not requested, which has been
+ corrected.
+
+ * Perforce tests have been updated.
+
+ * The credential helper to talk to OSX keychain sometimes sent
+ garbage bytes after the username, which has been corrected.
+
+ * A recent update broke "git ls-remote" used outside a repository,
+ which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git config --value=foo --fixed-value section.key newvalue" barfed
+ when the existing value in the configuration file used the
+ valueless true syntax, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git reflog expire" failed to honor annotated tags when computing
+ reachable commits.
+
+ * A flakey test and incorrect calls to strtoX() functions have been
+ fixed.
+
+ * Follow-up on 2.45.1 regression fix.
+
+ * "git rev-list ... | git diff-tree -p --remerge-diff --stdin" should
+ behave more or less like "git log -p --remerge-diff" but instead it
+ crashed, forgetting to prepare a temporary object store needed.
+
+ * The patch parser in "git patch-id" has been tightened to avoid
+ getting confused by lines that look like a patch header in the log
+ message.
+
+ * "git bundle unbundle" outside a repository triggered a BUG()
+ unnecessarily, which has been corrected.
+
+ * The code forgot to discard unnecessary in-core commit buffer data
+ for commits that "git log --skip=<number>" traversed but omitted
+ from the output, which has been corrected.
+
+ * "git verify-pack" and "git index-pack" started dying outside a
+ repository, which has been corrected.
+
+ * A corner case bug in "git stash" was fixed.
+
+Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
