Git v2.9.3 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v2.9.2
------------------

 * A helper function that takes the contents of a commit object and
   finds its subject line did not ignore leading blank lines, as is
   commonly done by other codepaths.  Make it ignore leading blank
   lines to match.

 * Git does not know what the contents in the index should be for a
   path added with "git add -N" yet, so "git grep --cached" should not
   show hits (or show lack of hits, with -L) in such a path, but that
   logic does not apply to "git grep", i.e. searching in the working
   tree files.  But we did so by mistake, which has been corrected.

 * "git rebase -i --autostash" did not restore the auto-stashed change
   when the operation was aborted.

 * "git commit --amend --allow-empty-message -S" for a commit without
   any message body could have misidentified where the header of the
   commit object ends.

 * More mark-up updates to typeset strings that are expected to
   literally typed by the end user in fixed-width font.

 * For a long time, we carried an in-code comment that said our
   colored output would work only when we use fprintf/fputs on
   Windows, which no longer is the case for the past few years.

 * "gc.autoPackLimit" when set to 1 should not trigger a repacking
   when there is only one pack, but the code counted poorly and did
   so.

 * One part of "git am" had an oddball helper function that called
   stuff from outside "his" as opposed to calling what we have "ours",
   which was not gender-neutral and also inconsistent with the rest of
   the system where outside stuff is usuall called "theirs" in
   contrast to "ours".

 * The test framework learned a new helper test_match_signal to
   check an exit code from getting killed by an expected signal.

 * "git blame -M" missed a single line that was moved within the file.

 * Fix recently introduced codepaths that are involved in parallel
   submodule operations, which gave up on reading too early, and
   could have wasted CPU while attempting to write under a corner
   case condition.

 * "git grep -i" has been taught to fold case in non-ascii locales
   correctly.

 * A test that unconditionally used "mktemp" learned that the command
   is not necessarily available everywhere.

Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
