+==== Changes in the download infrastructure
+
+1. the git download backend now properly expands the `export-subst`
+ https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes[git attribute] when generating
+ archives;
+2. the subversion download backend does no longer retrieve the external
+ references (objects with an `svn:externals` property) by default; if
+ you need them, set +LIBFOO_SVN_EXTERNALS+ to +YES+.
+
+These changes imply that:
* the generated archive content may change, and thus the hashes may need
to be updated appropriately;
-* the archive version suffix has been updated to +-br3+, so the hash
- files must be updated appropriately.
+* the archive version suffix has been updated, to +-br2+ for git, and to
+ +-br3+ for subversion, so the hash files must be updated appropriately.
Add the changes about export-subst in the got backend, to the migrating section of the manual. Reorganise the section so it is more digestible. Signed-off-by: Yann E.
