Git 2.8 Release Notes
=====================
Updates since v2.7
------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* "branch --delete" has "branch -d" but "push --delete" does not.
(merge 38a2559 ps/push-delete-option later to maint).
* "git blame" learned to produce the progress eye-candy when it takes
too much time before emitting the first line of the result.
(merge aba37f4 ea/blame-progress later to maint).
* "git grep" can now be configured (or told from the command line)
how many threads to use when searching in the working tree files.
(merge 89f09dd vl/grep-configurable-threads later to maint).
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Add a framework to spawn a group of processes in parallel, and use
it to run "git fetch --recurse-submodules" in parallel.
* A slight update to the Makefile to mark "phoney" targets
as such correctly.
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
Fixes since v2.7
----------------
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.7 in the maintenance
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
notes for details).
* An earlier change in 2.5.x-era broke users' hooks and aliases by
exporting GIT_WORK_TREE to point at the root of the working tree,
interfering when they tried to use a different working tree without
setting GIT_WORK_TREE environment themselves.
(merge df1e6ea nd/stop-setenv-work-tree later to maint).
