+Tool Renames Plan
+=================
+
+ - In 0.99.7, all renamed commands have symbolic links in
+ $(bindir) so that old names continue to work. These backward
+ compatible names will not appear in documentation. The main
+ documentation, git(7) will talk about the new names but would
+ mention their old names as historical notes. Old environment
+ names defined in gitenv() will also be removed in this release.
+
+ - In 0.99.8, we will not install these backward compatible
+ symbolic links in $(bindir) anymore. The Makefile will have
+ a target to remove old symlinks from $(DESTDIR)$(bindir) you
+ can run manually to help you clean things up.
+
+ As a notable exception, git-ssh-push and git-ssh-pull pair is
+ not going away within this timeframe, if ever. Each of these
+ old-name commands continues to invoke its old-name
+ counterpart on the other end. Updating to 0.99.8 on one end
+ of the connection does not requier the other end to update at
+ the same time.
+
+ The timeframe for this is around Oct 1st.
