+Git v2.30.1 Release Notes
+=========================
+
+This release is primarily to merge fixes accumulated on the 'master'
+front to prepare for 2.31 release that are still relevant to 2.30.x
+maintenance track.
+
+Fixes since v2.30
+-----------------
+
+ * "git fetch --recurse-submodules" failed to update a submodule
+   when it has an uninitialized (hence of no interest to the user)
+   sub-submodule, which has been corrected.
+
+ * Command line error of "git rebase" are diagnosed earlier.
+
+ * "git stash" did not work well in a sparsely checked out working
+   tree.
+
+ * Some tests expect that "ls -l" output has either '-' or 'x' for
+   group executable bit, but setgid bit can be inherited from parent
+   directory and make these fields 'S' or 's' instead, causing test
+   failures.
+
+ * "git for-each-repo --config=<var> <cmd>" should not run <cmd> for
+   any repository when the configuration variable <var> is not defined
+   even once.
+
+ * "git mergetool --tool-help" was broken in 2.29 and failed to list
+   all the available tools.
+
+ * Fix for procedure to building CI test environment for mac.
+
+ * Newline characters in the host and path part of git:// URL are
+   now forbidden.
+
+ * When more than one commit with the same patch ID appears on one
+   side, "git log --cherry-pick A...B" did not exclude them all when a
+   commit with the same patch ID appears on the other side.  Now it
+   does.
+
+ * Documentation for "git fsck" lost stale bits that has become
+   incorrect.
+
+ * Doc for packfile URI feature has been clarified.
+
+Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
