Git 2.4 Release Notes
=====================
Backward compatibility warning(s)
---------------------------------
Output from "git log --decorate" (and "%d" format specifier used in
the userformat "--format=<string>" parameter "git log" family of
command takes) used to list "HEAD" just like other tips of branch
names, separated with a comma in between. E.g.
$ git log --decorate -1 master
commit bdb0f6788fa5e3cacc4315e9ff318a27b2676ff4 (HEAD, master)
...
This release updates the output slightly when HEAD refers to the tip
of a branch whose name is also shown in the output. The above is
shown as:
$ git log --decorate -1 master
commit bdb0f6788fa5e3cacc4315e9ff318a27b2676ff4 (HEAD -> master)
...

* "git archive" can now be told to set the 'text' attribute in the
resulting zip archive.
* Output from "git log --decorate" mentions HEAD when it points at a
tip of an branch differently from a detached HEAD.
This is a potentially backward-incompatible change.
* "git branch" on a detached HEAD always said "(detached from xyz)",
even when "git status" would report "detached at xyz". The HEAD is
actually at xyz and haven't been moved since it was detached in
such a case, but the user cannot read what the current value of
HEAD is when "detached from" is used.
