+Git 2.34 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Updates since Git 2.33
+----------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * Pathname expansion (like "~username/") learned a way to specify a
+   location relative to Git installation (e.g. its $sharedir which is
+   $(prefix)/share), with "%(prefix)".
+
+ * Use `ort` instead of `recursive` as the default merge strategy.
+
+ * The userdiff pattern for "java" language has been updated.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
+
+ * "git bisect" spawned "git show-branch" only to pretty-print the
+   title of the commit after checking out the next version to be
+   tested; this has been rewritten in C.
+
+ * "git add" can work better with the sparse index.
+
+ * Support for ancient versions of cURL library (pre 7.19.4) has been
+   dropped.
+
+ * A handful of tests that assumed implementation details of files
+   backend for refs have been cleaned up.
+
+ * trace2 logs learned to show parent process name to see in what
+   context Git was invoked.
+
+ * Loading of ref tips to prepare for common ancestry negotiation in
+   "git fetch-pack" has been optimized by taking advantage of the
+   commit graph when available.
+
+ * Remind developers that the userdiff patterns should be kept simple
+   and permissive, assuming that the contents they apply are always
+   syntactically correct.
+
+ * The current implementation of GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is broken in
+   that checking for the lack of a prerequisite would not work.  Avoid
+   the use of "if ! test_have_prereq X" in a test script.
+
+ * The revision traversal API has been optimized by taking advantage
+   of the commit-graph, when available, to determine if a commit is
+   reachable from any of the existing refs.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.33
+-----------------
+
+ * Input validation of "git pack-objects --stdin-packs" has been
+   corrected.
+   (merge 561fa03529 ab/pack-stdin-packs-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Bugfix for common ancestor negotiation recently introduced in "git
+   push" code path.
+   (merge 82823118b9 jt/push-negotiation-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * "git pull" had various corner cases that were not well thought out
+   around its --rebase backend, e.g. "git pull --ff-only" did not stop
+   but went ahead and rebased when the history on other side is not a
+   descendant of our history.  The series tries to fix them up.
+   (merge 6f843a3355 en/pull-conflicting-options later to maint).
+
+ * "git apply" miscounted the bytes and failed to read to the end of
+   binary hunks.
+   (merge 46d723ce57 jk/apply-binary-hunk-parsing-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git range-diff" code clean-up.
+   (merge c4d5907324 jk/range-diff-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * "git commit --fixup" now works with "--edit" again, after it was
+   broken in v2.32.
+   (merge 8ef6aad664 jk/commit-edit-fixup-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Use upload-artifacts v1 (instead of v2) for 32-bit linux, as the
+   new version has a blocker bug for that architecture.
+   (merge 3cf9bb36bf cb/ci-use-upload-artifacts-v1 later to maint).
+
+ * Checking out all the paths from HEAD during the last conflicted
+   step in "git rebase" and continuing would cause the step to be
+   skipped (which is expected), but leaves MERGE_MSG file behind in
+   $GIT_DIR and confuses the next "git commit", which has been
+   corrected.
+   (merge e5ee33e855 pw/rebase-skip-final-fix later to maint).
+
+ * Various bugs in "git rebase -r" have been fixed.
+   (merge f2563c9ef3 pw/rebase-r-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * mmap() imitation used to call xmalloc() that dies upon malloc()
+   failure, which has been corrected to just return an error to the
+   caller to be handled.
+   (merge 95b4ff3931 rs/git-mmap-uses-malloc later to maint).
+
+ * "git diff --relative" segfaulted and/or produced incorrect result
+   when there are unmerged paths.
+   (merge 8174627b3d dd/diff-files-unmerged-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The delayed checkout code path in "git checkout" etc. were chatty
+   even when --quiet and/or --no-progress options were given.
+   (merge 7a132c628e mt/quiet-with-delayed-checkout later to maint).
+
+ * "git branch -D <branch>" used to refuse to remove a broken branch
+   ref that points at a missing commit, which has been corrected.
+   (merge 597a977489 rs/branch-allow-deleting-dangling later to maint).

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 
-Some workflows require that one or more branches of development on one
-machine be replicated on another machine, but the two machines cannot
-be directly connected, and therefore the interactive Git protocols (git,
-ssh, http) cannot be used.
+Create, unpack, and manipulate "bundle" files. Bundles are used for
+the "offline" transfer of Git objects without an active "server"
+sitting on the other side of the network connection.
 
-The 'git bundle' command packages objects and references in an archive
-at the originating machine, which can then be imported into another
-repository using 'git fetch', 'git pull', or 'git clone',
-after moving the archive by some means (e.g., by sneakernet).
+They can be used to create both incremental and full backups of a
+repository, and to relay the state of the references in one repository
+to another.
 
-As no
-direct connection between the repositories exists, the user must specify a
-basis for the bundle that is held by the destination repository: the
-bundle assumes that all objects in the basis are already in the
-destination repository.
+Git commands that fetch or otherwise "read" via protocols such as
+`ssh://` and `https://` can also operate on bundle files. It is
+possible linkgit:git-clone[1] a new repository from a bundle, to use
+linkgit:git-fetch[1] to fetch from one, and to list the references
+contained within it with linkgit:git-ls-remote[1]. There's no
+corresponding "write" support, i.e.a 'git push' into a bundle is not
+supported.
+
+See the "EXAMPLES" section below for examples of how to use bundles.
+
+BUNDLE FORMAT
+-------------
+
+Bundles are `.pack` files (see linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]) with a
+header indicating what references are contained within the bundle.
+
+Like the the packed archive format itself bundles can either be
+self-contained, or be created using exclusions.
+See the "OBJECT PREREQUISITES" section below.
+
+Bundles created using revision exclusions are "thin packs" created
+using the `--thin` option to linkgit:git-pack-objects[1], and
+unbundled using the `--fix-thin` option to linkgit:git-index-pack[1].
+
+There is no option to create a "thick pack" when using revision
+exclusions, users should not be concerned about the difference. By
+using "thin packs" bundles created using exclusions are smaller in
+size. That they're "thin" under the hood is merely noted here as a
+curiosity, and as a reference to other documentation
+
+See link:technical/bundle-format.html[the `bundle-format`
+documentation] for more details and the discussion of "thin pack" in
+link:technical/pack-format.html[the pack format documentation] for
+further details.

 SPECIFYING REFERENCES
 ---------------------
 
-'git bundle' will only package references that are shown by
-'git show-ref': this includes heads, tags, and remote heads.  References
-such as `master~1` cannot be packaged, but are perfectly suitable for
-defining the basis.  More than one reference may be packaged, and more
-than one basis can be specified.  The objects packaged are those not
-contained in the union of the given bases.  Each basis can be
-specified explicitly (e.g. `^master~10`), or implicitly (e.g.
-`master~10..master`, `--since=10.days.ago master`).
+Revisions must accompanied by reference names to be packaged in a
+bundle.
 
-It is very important that the basis used be held by the destination.
+More than one reference may be packaged, and more than one set of prerequisite objects can
+be specified.  The objects packaged are those not contained in the
+union of the prerequisites.
+
+The 'git bundle create' command resolves the reference names for you
+using the same rules as `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref=loose`. Each
+prerequisite can be specified explicitly (e.g. `^master~10`), or implicitly
+(e.g. `master~10..master`, `--since=10.days.ago master`).
+
+All of these simple cases are OK (assuming we have a "master" and
+"next" branch):
+
+----------------
+$ git bundle create master.bundle master
+$ echo master | git bundle create master.bundle --stdin
+$ git bundle create master-and-next.bundle master next
+$ (echo master; echo next) | git bundle create master-and-next.bundle --stdin
+----------------
+
+And so are these (and the same but omitted `--stdin` examples):
+
+----------------
+$ git bundle create recent-master.bundle master~10..master
+$ git bundle create recent-updates.bundle master~10..master next~5..next
+----------------
+
+A revision name or a range whose right-hand-side cannot be resolved to
+a reference is not accepted:
+
+----------------
+$ git bundle create HEAD.bundle $(git rev-parse HEAD)
+fatal: Refusing to create empty bundle.
+$ git bundle create master-yesterday.bundle master~10..master~5
+fatal: Refusing to create empty bundle.
+----------------
+
+OBJECT PREREQUISITES
+--------------------
+
+When creating bundles it is possible to create a self-contained bundle
+that can be unbundled in a repository with no common history, as well
+as providing negative revisions to exclude objects needed in the
+earlier parts of the history.
+
+Feeding a revision such as `new` to `git bundle create` will create a
+bundle file that contains all the objects reachable from the revision
+`new`. That bundle can be unbundled in any repository to obtain a full
+history that leads to the revision `new`:
+
+----------------
+$ git bundle create full.bundle new
+----------------
+
+A revision range such as `old..new` will produce a bundle file that
+will require the revision `old` (and any objects reachable from it)
+to exist for the bundle to be "unbundle"-able:
+
+----------------
+$ git bundle create full.bundle old..new
+----------------
+
+A self-contained bundle without any prerequisites can be extracted
+into anywhere, even into an empty repository, or be cloned from
+(i.e., `new`, but not `old..new`).
+
 It is okay to err on the side of caution, causing the bundle file
 to contain objects already in the destination, as these are ignored
 when unpacking at the destination.
 
-`git clone` can use any bundle created without negative refspecs
-(e.g., `new`, but not `old..new`).
 If you want to match `git clone --mirror`, which would include your
 refs such as `refs/remotes/*`, use `--all`.
 If you want to provide the same set of refs that a clone directly
 from the source repository would get, use `--branches --tags` for
 the `<git-rev-list-args>`.
 
+The 'git bundle verify' command can be used to check whether your
+recipient repository has the required prerequisite commits for a
+bundle.
