+It's Magit! A Git Porcelain inside Emacs
+=========================================
+
+Magit is a text-based Git user interface that puts an unmatched focus
+on streamlining workflows. Commands are invoked using short mnemonic
+key sequences that take the cursor’s position in the highly actionable
+interface into account to provide context-sensitive behavior.
+
+With Magit you can do nearly everything that you can do when using Git
+on the command-line, but at greater speed and while taking advantage
+of advanced features that previously seemed too daunting to use on a
+daily basis. Many users will find that by using Magit they can become
+more effective Git user.
+
+For more information about Magit, see https://magit.vc
+and https://emacsair.me/2017/09/01/campaign-articles.
+
+Magit v2.12.0 Release Notes
+===========================
+
+Released 29th March 2018 by Jonas Bernoulli.
+
+I am pleased to announce the release of Magit version 2.12.0,
+representing 610 commits by 30 contributors over six months.
+
+Also see https://emacsair.me/2018/03/29/magit-2.12.
+
+Upcoming breaking changes
+-------------------------
+
+* An upcoming release will remove support for older versions of Emacs.
+ It isn't yet certain in what Magit release that will happen and what
+ the new minimal version of Emacs will be. You should consider to
+ update to the latest Emacs release now, or at least to v25.1, which
+ was released one and a half years ago.
+
+* Likewise support for older versions of Git is going to be removed.
+ You should update to at least v2.4, which was released almost three
+ years ago. Older releases don't get security updates anymore, which
+ is another reason to update.
+
+* The option `magit-no-confirm-default' has been demoted to a variable
+ and will be removed in v2.13.0. Please migrate your customizations
+ to the new option `magit-dwim-selection'. #3232
+
+Changes since v2.11.0
+---------------------
+
+* Added new commands `magit-previous-line' and `magit-next-line' as
+ substitutes for `previous-line' and `next-line'. Magit's selection
+ mechanism is based on the region but selects an area that is larger
+ than the region. This causes shift-selection to select two lines on
+ the first invocation when using the vanilla commands. On section
+ headings and inside hunk bodies the new magit-specific variants
+ don't move point on the first invocation and thereby they only
+ select a single section or line. Which inconsistency you prefer
+ is a matter of preference. #2912
+
+ To use the Magit-specific variants add this to your init file:
+
+ (define-key magit-mode-map [remap previous-line] 'magit-previous-line)
+ (define-key magit-mode-map [remap next-line] 'magit-next-line)
+
+* The command `magit-refs-popup' now remembers arguments and they are
+ displayed in the header-line of `magit-refs-mode' buffers. The popup
+ command still invokes the default action by default when invoked from
+ another buffer, but when invoked from a `magit-refs-mode' buffer it
+ now shows the popup. #2898
+
+* The module overview section now shows a hash for modules that don't
+ have a tag and column alignment is optimized. #3160
+
+* The diff that is being displayed while committing learned about a
+ few more special cases. #3095
+
+* Added new command `magit-branch-or-checkout' as a potential
+ substitute for `magit-checkout'. Setup instructions can be found in
+ the manual. #3104
+
+* Added new customizable options `magit-log-highlight-keywords' and
+ `magit-diff-highlight-keywords', which control whether text inside
+ brackets is highlighted in magit-log and magit-diff buffers
+ respectively. #3190
+
+* When the names of Magit buffers are not uniquified then their names
+ now end with an asterisk. When the `uniquify' package is used, then
+ that still is not possible due to limitations in that package. #2841
+
+* When selecting a fixup target then the log graph, which makes it
+ less likely that you attempt to modify a merged commit, which would
+ result in the merges being lost when rebasing. c0209c74d
+
+* Added the existing commands `magit-blame' and `magit-blob-next' to
+ the `magit-file-popup' popup.
+
+* Added new command `magit-blame-reverse'. See the updated manual
+ for information on how to best use this and other blaming commands.
+ #3055
+
+* Keywords in brackets are now being highlighted in `magit-refs-mode'
+ and `git-rebase-mode' buffers, and the headers of `magit-status-mode'
+ buffers, like they already were in logs. #3179
+
+* Added new variable `magit-buffer-lock-functions' to support
+ third-party packages in creating Magit-like buffers. #3191
+
+* Improve padding of head-line and add new faces `magit-header-line-key'
+ and `magit-header-line-log-select'. #3194
+
+* When a stash has a note attached to it, then show it in the
+ `magit-stash-mode' buffer. aff2fba8f
+
+* Added new command `magit-rebase-remove-commit' to the rebase popup.
+
+* The remote popup can now be used to set various remote related
+ variables. #3165
+
+* Added new commands `magit-patch-apply' and `magit-patch-apply-popup'.
+ The latter is available from inside `magit-am-popup' ("w"). #2940
+
+* Added new command `magit-patch-save' for saving a diff into a patch
+ file. In diff buffers it is bound to "C-x C-w". #2950
+
+* Added new command `magit-stash-branch-here', which — unlike the
+ existing `magit-stash-branch' — creates a branch that starts at
+ the current HEAD instead of at the commit that was current when
+ the stash was created. #2935
+
+* Added new command `magit-dired-log' intended to be bound in
+ `dired-mode-map'. #3011
+
+* The list of rebase actions displayed in the status buffer now also
+ shows "exec" actions. #3003
+
+* While it exists, the stash created by `git rebase --autostash' is
+ now also displayed in the list of stashes. #3146
+
+* When the current branch has no upstream or when all commits have
+ already been pushed there, then the status buffer now shows
+ `magit-log-section-commit-count' recent commits. If you previously
+ used `magit-insert-unpulled-from-upstream-or-recent', then remove
+ that from `magit-status-sections-hook', as it is an obsolete alias
+ for `magit-insert-unpulled-from-upstream' now. #3227
+
+* When switching between showing "Unmerged into <upstream>" and
+ "Recent commits", preserve the visibility of that section. #3227
+
+* When prompting for a branch to delete, the current branch is no
+ longer offered as default choice, except in cases where it is likely
+ that that is actually what the user wants. #2924
+
+* Added new popup `magit-worktree-popup' and bound "%" to it. #2927
+
+* The commands `magit-file-delete' and `magit-file-untrack' now act on
+ the selected files and with a prefix argument they force the action.
+ #2930
+
+* When requesting the history of a single file that is no longer being
+ tracked, use the `--full-history' argument. Otherwise no history at
+ all would be shown. #3012
+
+* Added new option `magit-patch-save-arguments'. #3218
+
+* Leading tabs in files no longer cause misalignment in diffs. This
+ is done by overriding the mechanism used by the display engine to
+ determine how wide a tab should be, which doesn't work when there
+ are additional characters before the "leading" tabs that should
+ count as an additional, but very short tab-stop. #3185
+
+* The command `magit-visit-ref' now drops the prefix argument before
+ calling `magit-show-commit' when appropriate, and when using the
+ `create-branch' variant and the branch exists, then it offers to
+ simply checking it out instead of resetting it first. #3009
+
+* The output of `magit-list-repositories' is now sorted by module path
+ instead of module name. b6f6cf4a6
+
+* For a long time Magit has supported selecting two or more sibling
+ sections using the region and then acting on that selection instead
+ of only on the current section. Single-section selections were not
+ supported and a region that did not span multiple siblings was not
+ visualized as a selection. Now that is supported.
+
+ Not every section-aware command was adjusted to take single-section
+ selections into account because in many cases that would have led to
+ undesired changes in behavior. #3026
+
+* The command `magit-branch-spinoff' now spins off just HEAD when that
+ constitutes the single-section selection. Previously one could only
+ spin off all commits that weren't in the upstream yet or at least
+ two commits. #2920
+
+* Added switch `--local-user' to the tag popup. #3237
+
+* When discarding untracked files, then offer to delete the buffers
+ visiting them. #3243
+
+* When there is a valid selection based on the region, then the region
+ itself was never visualized. Now it is, but only if it stays within
+ a single line. #3249
+
+* Added new command `magit-branch-checkout' and bound "l" in the
+ branch popup to it. This command always checks out a local branch.
+ Valid inputs are an existing local branch, a remote branch for which
+ no corresponding local branch exists, and a new branch name that
+ doesn't match the name of any existing local or remote branch. #2906
+
+* The command `magit-show-commit' now offers the revision at point as
+ the default completion choice if the less generic mechanisms used to
+ determine the "current" revision fail. This is useful for visiting
+ revisions mentioned in commit messages. #2949
+
+* Hashes inside commit messages are now turned into `commit' sections.
+ Note that this can be disabled and that even if you do so you can
+ still visit the commit at point using "RET". #2949
+
+* The documentation regarding completion, confirmation, the selection,
+ and the hunk-internal region was significantly extended. It might
+ be worth reading that.
+
+* Added new option `magit-dwim-selection', which allows configuring
+ commands that would otherwise ask the user to select among possible
+ candidates to use the default instead, with or without confirmation.
+ #3232
+
+* When there is a stash at point, then the commands `magit-stash-drop'
+ and `magit-stash-pop' now ask for confirmation. The former command
+ previously allowed users to select another stash instead and the
+ latter used to act on the stash at point without giving the user a
+ chance to abort. These changes are implemented using the new option
+ `magit-dwim-selection' and can easily be reverted. #2916
+
+* Aborting a commit is seen as an error by Git and like all such
+ errors it was reported to users, which led to confusion and a few
+ bug reports. Now that non-error is being suppressed. #2932
+
+* The option `magit-ref-namespaces' was demoted to a variable and its
+ format changed. #2923
+
+* Some refs that are being displayed in logs are now being compressed
+ to save space while providing more information. #2923
+
+* Added new option `magit-submodule-fetch-jobs'. By default multiple
+ modules are being fetched in parallel now. #3261
+
+* The command `magit-show-commit' now also shows notes specified using
+ `notes.displayRef', not just those specified using `core.notesRef'.
+ #2857
+
+* The package `magit-popup' is maintained in its own repository now.
+ 4d5d9bfac
+
+* The popup `magit-notes-popup' now shows the values of the relevant
+ variables and allows changing them. #2857
+
+* The cherry-picking commands now try to use or not use the
+ `--mainline' argument as appropriate instead of erroring out. #2980
+
+* Added `magit' as an alias for `magit-status' because I have been
+ told that that improves discoverability. This might or might not
+ make it easier for users to get started with Magit without taking
+ a brief glimpse at the documentation. #3290
+
+* The command `magit-log-buffer-file' now also works in Dired buffers.
+
+* The commands `magit-stage-untracked' has been taught about the Borg
+ package manager. When staging a package repository it now offers to
+ also assimilate (aka install) that package. dc857e2ed
+
+* Added new command `magit-browse-pull-request', which reads an open
+ pull request and then visits it in a browser. For now this only
+ supports Github, but other Git forges will be supported in the
+ future. #3134
+
+* Added new commands `magit-checkout-pull-request' and
+ `magit-branch-pull-request' to the branch popup. For now they only
+ support Github, but other Git forges will be supported in the future.
+ #3134
+
+* The command `magit-branch-delete' now offers to also delete the
+ corresponding remote after deleting a local branch that was created
+ with `magit-branch-pull-request' or `magit-checkout-pull-request',
+ provided that remote has no other tracking branches. #3134
+
+* When it is not possible to blame in reverse, then the blame popup
+ does not offer that command anymore. c6ef61b2e
+
+* The mode line process indicator, displayed in the mode line when Git
+ is run for side-effects, is now more visible than before, and is
+ additionally used to highlight process errors.
+
+ New face `magit-mode-line-process' is applied to the mode line
+ process indicator to improve the visibility of pending asynchronous
+ processes (in particular), as Magit remains responsive after
+ initiating such commands (for instance fetching or rebasing), but
+ will not update its buffers until the process has completed, which
+ might take longer than anticipated. Customize this face if you wish
+ to make this indicator more (or less) visible. #3284
+
+ If the Git process returns an error, the mode line process indicator
+ is no longer removed, and new face `magit-mode-line-process-error`
+ is applied to highlight the error status. Details of the error from
+ the process buffer are also provided as a tool-tip. The error
+ indicator will remain visible in the mode line until a magit buffer
+ is refreshed. If you do not want errors to be indicated in the mode
+ line, customize the `magit-process-display-mode-line-error' user
+ option. #3297
+
+* When staging and unstaging at the file level and there are arguments
+ that cause whitespace differences to be hidden, then apply the
+ visible changes using `git-apply' instead of using `git-add' and
+ `git-rm' because doing that would also un-/stage the invisible
+ changes. #3102
+
+* Added new command `magit-diff-visit-file-other-window'. It isn't
+ bound by default because that would result in changes to existing
+ key bindings, which is something that is frowned upon. To use this
+ command add something like this to your init file. #2833
+
+ (define-key magit-file-section-map (kbd "SPC")
+ 'magit-diff-visit-file-other-window)
+ (define-key magit-hunk-section-map (kbd "SPC")
+ 'magit-diff-visit-file-other-window)
+
+* The widths of tabs in diffs can now be adjusted to match the widths
+ that would be used in the corresponding file-visiting buffers. This
+ is disabled by default because it can be expensive to determine the
+ appropriate values (and also unnecessary when using spaces for
+ indentation). Use the new option `magit-diff-adjust-tab-width' to
+ control if and when the tab widths should be adjusted. #2929
+
+* Added documentation about how to contribute to the documentation.
+
+* In the references buffer the remote part of the branch names are now
+ hidden in the remote specific lists of branches by default, which is
+ done to preserves space. The option `magit-refs-show-remote-prefix'
+ can be used to revert this change.
+
+* The mode `git-commit-mode' now offers three font-lock levels,
+ including one that is fruitier than the previous font-lock level.
+ Local and remote branches are shown using different colors now.
+ 7a50bfdb0 ff
+
+* When a signed tag points at the shown revision, then the revision
+ buffer now also contains information about the tag signature. #3015
+
+* The commands `magit-remote-remove' and `magit-branch-delete' now
+ unset the relevant push-remote related variables, which Git fails to
+ do, unlike for other variable affected by the removal of a remote or
+ branch. Likewise the command `magit-remote-rename' now renames such
+ variables. #2850
+
+* Depending on the value of the new `magit-branch-rename-push-target'
+ option the command `magit-branch-rename' may now also preserve the
+ local branch's push-remote or even rename the push branch on the
+ remote. The default is to do both. #2850
+
+* Added argument `--subject-prefix' to the patch popup. 24ce90832
+
+* The section visibility is now being cached for all sections.
+ Previously this was only done for some sections. When a section
+ disappeared and later appeared again, then it went back to its
+ initial visibility. The option `magit-section-cache-visibility' can
+ be used to restrict the cache to certain sections again. #2780
+
+* The section visibility cache can now also remember that a section
+ should be expanded instead of being hidden when the latter is the
+ default and the section reappears. Previously only the opposite
+ was possible. #2780
+
+* For `magit-status-mode' and `magit-refs-mode' buffers the visibility
+ cache now persists when killing the buffer. #2780
+
+* Added command `magit-remote-prune-refspec', which is necessary
+ because Git does not ignore invalid refspecs and instead refuses
+ to fetch using only the refspecs that are still valid. #3134
+
+* Sections are now defined as classes instead of as structs. This
+ is only a first step towards taking advantage of generic methods.
+ A few subclasses are already being defined and dedicated slot
+ accessors have been deprecated in favor of `oref'. 651a9abcc ff
+
+* When asking the user whether to save modified file-visiting buffers
+ during a refresh, then also allow them to remember the choice for
+ the current session. I still think it is better to just always save
+ by setting the option `magit-save-repository-buffers' to `dontask'.
+ #3344
+
+* The terminology about modules as used by Git is ambiguous. Magit
+ now avoids the term "initialized" and instead uses the term
+ "populated" to refer to a module whose working directory exists.
+ The names of commands have been adjusted accordingly. For example,
+ unlike "git submodule init", which does *not* actually "initialize"
+ a module, `magit-submodule-popuplate' does "populate" a module
+ (using "git submodule update --init"). #2911
+
+* Most module commands now default to act on the selected modules or
+ if no modules are selected the current module, if any. Otherwise
+ they fall back to read a single module from the user. Previously
+ some of these commands acted on all modules and it was not possible
+ to perform the respective actions on a subset of modules. Acting
+ on all suitable modules is still possible using a prefix argument.
+ #2911
+
+* Many arguments have been added to the module popup. #2911
+
+* Added new option `magit-refs-filter-alist', which allows omitting
+ some references from being displayed in `magit-refs-mode' buffers.
+
+* Added new command `magit-merge-squash'. #3348
+
+* Several new libraries were created from code previously in magit.el.
+ 0d6389680
+
+* Added new commands `magit-merge-absorb' and `magit-merge-into',
+ which not only merge a local branch into another but also remove
+ the merged branch. #2922.
+
+* Added new commands `magit-cherry-harvest', `magit-cherry-donate',
+ `magit-cherry-spinout' and `magit-cherry-spinoff', which move
+ commits from one branch to another and also remove them from the
+ branch where they were previously located. #2921
+
+* Added new command `magit-diff-unmerged' and taught `magit-diff-dwim'
+ about unmerged changes too. #3382
+
+* The command `magit-push-refspecs' got its own history variable.
+ #3361
+
+* By default the names of Magit buffers now either have a star at both
+ ends, or at neither when using the `uniquify' package. 831372a4f
+
+* Added new commands `magit-branch-shelve' and
+ `magit-branch-unshelve'. Use them to replace a branch with a less
+ visible ref while preserving the ref log. This is useful for work
+ that you probably but not certainly will end up discarding. You
+ might want to add these commands to the branch popup. 568b11f64
+
+* The look of `magit-refs-mode' buffers was changed to save horizontal
+ space and three new options `magit-refs-primary-column-width',
+ `magit-refs-focus-column-width' and `magit-refs-pad-commit-counts'
+ were added. #3378
+
+* When the dispatch popup is invoked in non-Magit buffers, then certain
+ actions that cannot be used there are no longer shown. 83cc91a30
+
+* When the dispatch popup is invoked in a file-visiting buffer, then
+ it now also lists the actions from the file popup. 40361273a
+
+* Added new variable `magit-log-format-message-function'. #3384
+
+* Added commands `magit-commit-reshelve' and `magit-reshelve-since',
+ replacing and improving upon commands from the `magit-rockstar'
+ package, which was deprecated. The former changes the dates of HEAD
+ and the latter those of a range of commits leading up to HEAD.
+
+* Added argument `--reverse' to the log popup. When that argument is
+ used, then the incompatible `--graph' is silently dropped. 07e1d69d2
+
+* Added new option `magit-log-header-line-function'. #3395
+
+* Added new command `magit-remote-prune'. 6258dd92c
+
+* Added new hook `magit-unwind-refresh-hook', which is like the
+ existing `magit-post-refresh-hook' except that is runs even if an
+ error occurs during the refresh. 9f838cc04
+
+Fixes since v2.11.0
+-------------------
+
+* `git-commit-propertize-diff' could end up making the buffer
+ read-only. 746f2361b

+ usage instructions in interactive rebase buffers. #3175
+
+* The refresh cache was not properly invalidated after creating a new
+ repository. 7a1f1eb44
+
+* The `with-editor-mode' minor-mode was sometimes enabled twice in the
+ same buffer. 9be36868b
+
+* For bare repositories all files were shown as being deleted in some
+ contexts. b5f05c457
+
+* When a command was invoked from a popup and it set `this-command',

+
+* While setting `magit-credential-cache-daemon-socket's initial value
+ an error occurred when `credential.helper's value is the empty string.
+ 4b15d5825
+
+* Fixup commands did not warn about merges in the rebase range until
+ after creating the fixup commit. #3176
+
+* Instant fixup allowed selecting a commit that is not reachable from
+ HEAD, which, for the instant variants (but only those), clearly is
+ a user mistake that should be caught immediately. #3176
+
+* If `magit-git-executable' is an absolute path, then an error
+ occurred in `magit-debug-git-executable'. 9b7e34c29
+
+8ed2eb4f5 magit-branch-reset: use magit-local-branch-at-point
+
+* The previous window configuration was not restored by
+ `magit-log-select-pick' and `magit-log-select-quit'. #3211
+
+* When `magit-branch-spinoff' failed to perform the checkout it
+ never-the-less attempted to perform the subsequent steps. #3210
+
+* Jumping to the correct location in a man page failed for many
+ switches and options. deb482063 ff
+
+* The default action of `magit-branch-config-popup' was a command that
+ isn't even available in the popup. eaa836fe2
+
+* The command `magit-branch-spinoff' didn't try to prevent the user
+ from entering a string containing whitespace as a branch name.

+
+* The command `magit-commit' failed to commit everything after asking
+ for confirmation if it is called from a subdirectory. #3221
+
+* The command `magit-completing-read' didn't offer any completion
+ candidates. 387257f20
+
+* In some cases an error occurred when showing the remote popup because
+ the length of the remotes name was not taken into account. a9177e5b9
+
+* The command `magit-branch-rename' failed to rename a local branch if
+ a tag existed with the same name. #3222
+
+* The command `magit-file-delete' ignored the prefix argument instead
+ of forcing the action as intended. 0df686bfd
+
+* Fixed a broken highlighting special case. #3238
+
+* When staging all unstaged changes using "s" on "Unstaged changes"
+ while there also are staged changes, then the user was not asked for
+ confirmation. #3238
+
+* When reverting a commit users are required to edit the revert
+ message on some platforms but not on others. #3239
+
+* In a secondary worktree `magit-git-dir' failed to return a remote
+ path when the repository is accessed using Tramp. #3228
+
+* When the user chose the default offered by `magit-patch-apply',
+ then that function failed to expand the file-name so that Git would
+ understand it. ab00c5ba2
+
+* The face `magit-graph' was also used for the commit message, which
+ only was noticeable when the face was customized. It appears that
+ nobody ever did that. 47e94767b
+
+* When `magit-branch-read-upstream-first' is nil, then the value
+ returned by `magit-branch-read-args' was broken. #3268
+
+* Fixed encoding of non-ascii filename arguments to git on
+ `windows-nt' systems. #3250
+
+* A bug in `magit-list-active-notes-refs' slowed down
+ `magit-show-commit'. #3275
+
+* The command `magit-worktree-checkout' wasn't able to checkout
+ arbitrary commits, just refs. #3277
+
+* Due to misunderstood `flyspell' implementation details
+ `git-commit-turn-on-flyspell' did some unnecessary work and made
+ claims that are not actually true. 24c966082
+
+* When the git executable could not be found, then Magit often claimed
+ that the user was doing something outside of a Git repository
+ instead. #3310
+
+* The command `magit-submodule-add' always used a kludge that is
+ only needed when using Ido, resulting in a unnecessary removal
+ of functionality. 5e43377d2
+
+* The function `magit-maybe-save-repository-buffers' in some cases
+ needlessly redisplayed a message. #3319
+
+* The branch description was displayed in weird ways in a few places.
+ d98c44bd7, 9003b85da
+
+* When stashing untracked files, then the untracked files in
+ subdirectories were not removed from the working tree. #3334
+
+* The command `magit-worktree-delete' failed to delete a worktree when
+ its directory no longer existed. #3355
+
+* A kludge used to work around a bug in Emacs 24 prevented
+ `magit-copy-buffer-revision' from deactivating the mark. #3352
+
+* When visiting the last blob that still had the line at point in a diff,
+ then that only jumped to the correct line, but not the correct column.
+ ebe3b5229
+
+* For unpopulated modules `magit-list-submodules' showed information
+ about the super-repository instead. Now such modules are omitted.
+ 1c4fa9b14
+
+* The commands `magit-am-apply-patches' and `magit-am-apply-maildir'
+ did not work over Tramp because they passed Tramp file names directly
+ to git. This was fixed in a way that should prevent similar issues
+ elsewhere. #3368
+
+* The function `magit-branch-commit-at-point' preferred tags over
+ branches, which is a strange default for most callers. f2b318856
+
+* The arguments set in the popup were ignored when displaying tags
+ in refs buffers. ae007a757
+
+* When `magit-diff-section-arguments' calls for it, then all
+ diff-related sections are supposed to be limited to a subdirectory,
+ but sections listing untracked and tracked files ignored it. #3376
+
+* Saving wip refs often failed because `magit-update-ref' used the
+ refresh cache. e0e1a44f3
+
+* Buffers listing repositories using `tabulated-list-mode' did not
+ preserve point when being refreshed. 2f0302635
+
+This release also contains other minor improvements, bug fixes, typo
+fixes, and documentation fixes.
