+Magit v2.5.0 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+Released 30 January 2016 by Jonas Bernoulli.
+
+We are pleased to announce the release of Magit version 2.5.0,
+representing 78 commits by 4 contributors over 2 weeks.
+
+Also see http://emacsair.me/2016/02/10/magit-2.5.
+
+Changes since v2.4.0
+--------------------
+
+* The library `with-editor.el' reincarnated as a separate repository.
+
+ It was already available as a separate package, and since it can be
+ of use for packages that have absolutely nothing to do with `magit'
+ it makes sense to maintain it separately. That wasn't done before
+ because that would have made it harder to change it and its users
+ within the magit repository in parallel. I expect there will be
+ few such changes in the future.
+
+* Added new library `magit-submodule.el'. It contains code that was
+ previously spread across various libraries.
+
+* Added new option `auto-revert-buffer-list-filter' and redefined
+ `auto-revert-buffers' from `autorevert.el' to use it. Added new
+ predicates `magit-auto-revert-buffer-p' and the more restrictive
+ `magit-auto-revert-repository-buffer-p', which are both intended
+ to be used as potential value of the option.
+
+ For now the option defaults to `nil', but that might change in a
+ future release. When Magit explicitly calls `auto-revert-buffers'
+ (as opposed to when that is called due to a file notification event
+ or by a timer), and `auto-revert-buffer-list-filter' is `nil', then
+ it is let-bound to `magit-auto-revert-repository-buffer-p'.
+
+ Users who use Tramp and experience delays, should consider setting
+ the option to `magit-auto-revert-repository-buffer-p'.
+
+* By default, invoking `magit-unstage' on a committed change now
+ performs an action which is somewhat similar to unstaging. The
+ change is reverted in the index, but not the working tree. This
+ allows extracting changes from HEAD.
+
+ Setting the new option `magit-unstage-committed' to nil, disables
+ this behavior. Attempting to unstage a committed change would then
+ result in an error again.
+
+* Because file notifications may arrive with a delay, the option
+ `magit-auto-revert-immediately' now defaults to `t' even when file
+ notifications can be used,
+
+* Like `magit-refresh' already did, `magit-refresh-all' now runs the
+ hooks `magit-pre-refresh-hook' and `magit-post-refresh-hook'.
+
+* The heading of the section which lists commits that exist in the
+ current branch but not in its upstream was changed from "Unpushed
+ to <upstream>" to "Unmerged into <upstream>", because one usually
+ should merge into that branch instead of pushing to it.
+
+* Added new commands `magit-remote-set-head' and
+ `magit-remote-unset-head'.
+
+* By default `magit-clone' now deletes the symbolic-ref "origin/HEAD"
+ right after running `git clone', which insists on creating it.
+
+ The new option `magit-clone-set-remote-head' can be set to `t' to
+ go back to keeping that symbolic-ref. We default to removing it,
+ because it does not actually get automatically updated when the
+ HEAD of the remote changes, which makes it rather pointless.
+
+* Added new option `magit-prefer-remote-upstream' which controls
+ whether commands which read the upstream or starting-point from
+ the user would rather offer a local or a remote branch as default
+ completion candidate.
+
+* Added the switch `--cover-letter' to `magit-patch-popup', and taught
+ `magit-format-patch' to immediately open the letter in a buffer.
+
+* Added new option `++order' to the various log popups. This option
+ and its value are converted to `--VALUE-order' before calling `git'.
+ This option was added instead of the switches `--author-date-order',
+ `--date-order', and `--topo-order' because adding all three would be
+ too noisy and because they are mutually exclusive.
+
+Fixes since v2.4.1
+------------------
+
+* Creating a stash in a secondary working tree failed if no other
+ stash already existed in the repository.
+
+* Creating a Magit buffer failed if `uniquify-buffer-name-style's
+ value is `nil'.
+
+* Resetting a branch to an arbitrary commit caused its upstream
+ configuration to be mangled.
+
+* Resetting a branch to another branch caused the former to be
+ configured as the upstream of the latter. That behavior was
+ introduced by accident when the argument `--track' was replaced with
+ the variable `branch.autoSetupMerge' in the popup. Because it would
+ be undesirable to restore the `--track' argument in the popup, one
+ now has to use a prefix argument to set the upstream while resetting.
+
+* The manually set state of the margin in log and reflog buffers was
+ not preserved and instead reset to the default state when a command
+ was invoked which changes what log/reflog is being displayed.
+
+* Pressing RET on a variable in a popup caused an error.
+
+This release also contains the fixes described in the v2.4.1 release
+notes, as well as various typofixes, documentation updates, code
+clean-ups, bug fixes, and other small improvements.
