Hi Junio,
A couple questions on the release notes...

What do you mean by deprecation, then?
My understanding has always been that deprecation meant "supported but
discouraged", which is exactly what we're doing. We also run the risk
of people seeing "not officially deprecated" in the release notes,
then being very confused why the documentation and the program itself
is discouraging its own use and wonder if they configured things wrong
or got the wrong version of git ("The release notes says it isn't
deprecated, but whatever version I'm running definitely does have it
deprecated. What'd I do wrong??").

I fixed this "machiery" typo in en/doc-typofix but as that hasn't even
merged down to next yet, I'm wondering if you're planning to include
that in the release. Should I provide a subset of those fixes in a
separate patch for inclusion in the 2.24 release? Which of the types
of doc typo fixes would you want to see at this point for including?
