+Git v2.2 Release Notes
+======================
+
+Updates since v2.1
+------------------
+
+UI, Workflows & Features
+
+ * "git config --edit --global" starts from a skeletal per-user
+ configuration file contents, instead of a total blank, when the
+ user does not already have any. This immediately reduces the
+ need for a later "Have you forgotten setting core.user?" and we
+ can add more to the template as we gain more experience.
+
+
+Performance, Internal Implementation, etc.
+
+ * Looking up remotes configuration in a repository with very many
+ remotes defined has been optimized.
+
+ * There are cases where you lock and open to write a file, close it
+ to show the updated contents to external processes, and then have
+ to update the file again while still holding the lock, but the
+ lockfile API lacked support for such an access pattern.
+
+ * An in-core caching layer to let us avoid reading the same
+ configuration files number of times has been added.
+
+ * Various code paths have been cleaned up and simplified by using
+ "strbuf", "starts_with()", and "skip_prefix()" APIs more.
+
+
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
+
+
+Fixes since v2.1
+----------------
+
+ * "git log --pretty/format=" with an empty format string did not
+ mean the more obvious "No output whatsoever" but "Use default
+ format", which was counterintuitive.
+ (merge b9c7d6e jk/pretty-empty-format later to maint).
+
+ * Implementations of "tar" that do not understand an extended pax
+ header would extract the contents of it in a regular file; make
+ sure the permission bits of this file follows the same tar.umask
+ configuration setting.
+
+
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.1 in the maintenance
+track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
+notes for details).
