Git 2.4 Release Notes
=====================

Backward compatibility warning(s)
---------------------------------

This release has a few changes in the user-visible output from
Porcelain commands. These are not meant to be parsed by scripts, but
users still may want to be aware of the changes:

 * The output from ""git log --decorate"" (and, more generally, the ""%d""
   format specifier used in the ""--format=<string>"" parameter to the
   ""git log"" family of commands) has changed. It used to list ""HEAD""
   just like other branches; e.g.,

     $ git log --decorate -1 master
     commit bdb0f6788fa5e3cacc4315e9ff318a27b2676ff4 (HEAD, master)
     ...

   This release changes the output slightly when HEAD refers to a
   branch whose name is also shown in the output. The above is now
   shown as:

     $ git log --decorate -1 master
     commit bdb0f6788fa5e3cacc4315e9ff318a27b2676ff4 (HEAD -> master)
     ...

 * The phrasing ""git branch"" uses to describe a detached HEAD has been
   updated to agree with the phrasing used by ""git status"":

    - When HEAD is at the same commit as when it was originally
      detached, they now both show ""detached at <commit object name>"".

    - When HEAD has moved since it was originally detached, they now
      both show ""detached from <commit object name>"".

   Previously, ""git branch"" always used ""from"".
