Git 2.18 Release Notes
|
|
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.17
|
|

|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-12 23:57:55 +00:00
|
|
|
* Rename detection logic that is used in "merge" and "cherry-pick" has
|
2018-04-09 23:31:10 +00:00
|
|
|
learned to guess when all of x/a, x/b and x/c have moved to z/a,
|
|
|
|
z/b and z/c, it is likely that x/d added in the meantime would also
|
|
|
|
want to move to z/d by taking the hint that the entire directory
|
|
|
|
'x' moved to 'z'. A bug causing dirty files involved in a rename
|
|
|
|
to be overwritten during merge has also been fixed as part of this
|
2018-05-31 03:24:14 +00:00
|
|
|
work. Incidentally, this also avoids updating a file in the
|
|
|
|
working tree after a (non-trivial) merge whose result matches what
|
|
|
|
our side originally had.
|
2018-04-09 23:31:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git filter-branch" learned to use a different exit code to allow
|
|
|
|
the callers to tell the case where there was no new commits to
|
|
|
|
rewrite from other error cases.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-04-11 04:13:49 +00:00
|
|
|
* When built with more recent cURL, GIT_SSL_VERSION can now specify
|
|
|
|
"tlsv1.3" as its value.
|
2018-04-09 23:31:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2018-04-25 04:44:42 +00:00
|
|
|
* "git gui" learned that "~/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub" and
|
|
|
|
"~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub" are also possible SSH key files.
|
|
|
|
(merge 2e2f0288ef bb/git-gui-ssh-key-files later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git gui" performs commit upon CTRL/CMD+ENTER but the
|
|
|
|
CTRL/CMD+KP_ENTER (i.e. enter key on the numpad) did not have the
|
|
|
|
same key binding. It now does.
|
|
|
|
(merge 28a1d94a06 bp/git-gui-bind-kp-enter later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git gui" has been taught to work with old versions of tk (like
|
|
|
|
8.5.7) that do not support "ttk::style theme use" as a way to query
|
|
|
|
the current theme.
|
|
|
|
(merge 4891961105 cb/git-gui-ttk-style later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase" has learned to honor "--signoff" option when using
|
|
|
|
backends other than "am" (but not "--preserve-merges").
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git branch --list" during an interrupted "rebase -i" now lets
|
|
|
|
users distinguish the case where a detached HEAD is being rebased
|
|
|
|
and a normal branch is being rebased.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git mergetools" learned talking to guiffy.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-05-08 06:50:30 +00:00
|
|
|
* The scripts in contrib/emacs/ have outlived their usefulness and
|
|
|
|
have been replaced with a stub that errors out and tells the user
|
|
|
|
there are replacements.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-11 16:15:34 +00:00
|
|
|
* The new "working-tree-encoding" attribute can ask Git to convert the
|
2018-05-08 06:50:30 +00:00
|
|
|
contents to the specified encoding when checking out to the working
|
|
|
|
tree (and the other way around when checking in).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The "git config" command uses separate options e.g. "--int",
|
|
|
|
"--bool", etc. to specify what type the caller wants the value to
|
|
|
|
be interpreted as. A new "--type=<typename>" option has been
|
|
|
|
introduced, which would make it cleaner to define new types.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git config --get" learned the "--default" option, to help the
|
|
|
|
calling script. Building on top of the above changes, the
|
|
|
|
"git config" learns "--type=color" type. Taken together, you can
|
|
|
|
do things like "git config --get foo.color --default blue" and get
|
|
|
|
the ANSI color sequence for the color given to foo.color variable,
|
|
|
|
or "blue" if the variable does not exist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git ls-remote" learned an option to allow sorting its output based
|
|
|
|
on the refnames being shown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught that "git
|
|
|
|
stash save" has been deprecated ("git stash push" is the preferred
|
|
|
|
spelling in the new world) and does not offer it as a possible
|
|
|
|
completion candidate when "git stash push" can be.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git gc --prune=nonsense" spent long time repacking and then
|
|
|
|
silently failed when underlying "git prune --expire=nonsense"
|
|
|
|
failed to parse its command line. This has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Error messages from "git push" can be painted for more visibility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git http-fetch" (deprecated) had an optional and experimental
|
|
|
|
"feature" to fetch only commits and/or trees, which nobody used.
|
|
|
|
This has been removed.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-05-23 05:45:34 +00:00
|
|
|
* The functionality of "$GIT_DIR/info/grafts" has been superseded by
|
|
|
|
the "refs/replace/" mechanism for some time now, but the internal
|
|
|
|
code had support for it in many places, which has been cleaned up
|
|
|
|
in order to drop support of the "grafts" mechanism.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git worktree add" learned to check out an existing branch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git --no-pager cmd" did not have short-and-sweet single letter
|
|
|
|
option. Now it does as "-P".
|
|
|
|
(merge 7213c28818 js/no-pager-shorthand later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase" learned "--rebase-merges" to transplant the whole
|
|
|
|
topology of commit graph elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git status" learned to pay attention to UI related diff
|
|
|
|
configuration variables such as diff.renames.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The command line completion mechanism (in contrib/) learned to load
|
|
|
|
custom completion file for "git $command" where $command is a
|
|
|
|
custom "git-$command" that the end user has on the $PATH when using
|
2018-06-18 10:46:09 +00:00
|
|
|
newer version of bash-completion.
|
2018-05-23 05:45:34 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2018-05-30 05:10:34 +00:00
|
|
|
* "git send-email" can sometimes offer confirmation dialog "Send this
|
|
|
|
email?" with choices 'Yes', 'No', 'Quit', and 'All'. A new action
|
|
|
|
'Edit' has been added to this dialog's choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* With merge.renames configuration set to false, the recursive merge
|
|
|
|
strategy can be told not to spend cycles trying to find renamed
|
|
|
|
paths and merge them accordingly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git status" learned to honor a new status.renames configuration to
|
|
|
|
skip rename detection, which could be useful for those who want to
|
|
|
|
do so without disabling the default rename detection done by the
|
|
|
|
"git diff" command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete pathnames
|
|
|
|
for various commands better.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git blame" learns to unhighlight uninteresting metadata from the
|
|
|
|
originating commit on lines that are the same as the previous one,
|
|
|
|
and also paint lines in different colors depending on the age of
|
|
|
|
the commit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Transfer protocol v2 learned to support the partial clone.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When a short hexadecimal string is used to name an object but there
|
|
|
|
are multiple objects that share the string as the prefix of their
|
|
|
|
names, the code lists these ambiguous candidates in a help message.
|
|
|
|
These object names are now sorted according to their types for
|
|
|
|
easier eyeballing.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-05-30 12:51:57 +00:00
|
|
|
* "git fetch $there $refspec" that talks over protocol v2 can take
|
|
|
|
advantage of server-side ref filtering; the code has been extended
|
|
|
|
so that this mechanism triggers also when fetching with configured
|
|
|
|
refspec.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Our HTTP client code used to advertise that we accept gzip encoding
|
|
|
|
from the other side; instead, just let cURL library to advertise
|
|
|
|
and negotiate the best one.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-01 06:16:15 +00:00
|
|
|
* "git p4" learned to "unshelve" shelved commit from P4.
|
|
|
|
(merge 123f631761 ld/p4-unshelve later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
2018-04-09 23:31:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A "git fetch" from a repository with insane number of refs into a
|
|
|
|
repository that is already up-to-date still wasted too many cycles
|
|
|
|
making many lstat(2) calls to see if these objects at the tips
|
|
|
|
exist as loose objects locally. These lstat(2) calls are optimized
|
|
|
|
away by enumerating all loose objects beforehand.
|
|
|
|
It is unknown if the new strategy negatively affects existing use
|
|
|
|
cases, fetching into a repository with many loose objects from a
|
|
|
|
repository with small number of refs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Git can be built to use either v1 or v2 of the PCRE library, and so
|
|
|
|
far, the build-time configuration USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease instructed
|
|
|
|
the build procedure to use v1, but now it means v2. USE_LIBPCRE1
|
|
|
|
and USE_LIBPCRE2 can be used to explicitly choose which version to
|
|
|
|
use, as before.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The build procedure learned to optionally use symbolic links
|
|
|
|
(instead of hardlinks and copies) to install "git-foo" for built-in
|
|
|
|
commands, whose binaries are all identical.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The way "git worktree prune" worked internally has been simplified,
|
|
|
|
by assuming how "git worktree move" moves an existing worktree to a
|
|
|
|
different place.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-04-10 07:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
* Code clean-up for the "repository" abstraction.
|
|
|
|
(merge 00a3da2a13 nd/remove-ignore-env-field later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Code to find the length to uniquely abbreviate object names based
|
2019-11-05 17:07:20 +00:00
|
|
|
on packfile content, which is a relatively recent addition, has been
|
2018-04-10 07:32:45 +00:00
|
|
|
optimized to use the same fan-out table.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The mechanism to use parse-options API to automate the command line
|
|
|
|
completion continues to get extended and polished.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-04-11 04:13:49 +00:00
|
|
|
* Copies of old scripted Porcelain commands in contrib/examples/ have
|
|
|
|
been removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Some tests that rely on the exact hardcoded values of object names
|
|
|
|
have been updated in preparation for hash function migration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Perf-test update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Test helper update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The effort continues to refactor the internal global data structure
|
|
|
|
to make it possible to open multiple repositories, work with and
|
|
|
|
then close them,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Small test-helper programs have been consolidated into a single
|
|
|
|
binary.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-04-25 04:44:42 +00:00
|
|
|
* API clean-up around ref-filter code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Shell completion (in contrib) that gives list of paths have been
|
|
|
|
optimized somewhat.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The index file is updated to record the fsmonitor section after a
|
|
|
|
full scan was made, to avoid wasting the effort that has already
|
|
|
|
spent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Performance measuring framework in t/perf learned to help bisecting
|
|
|
|
performance regressions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Some multi-word source filenames are being renamed to separate
|
|
|
|
words with dashes instead of underscores.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* An reusable "memory pool" implementation has been extracted from
|
|
|
|
fast-import.c, which in turn has become the first user of the
|
|
|
|
mem-pool API.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-05-08 06:50:30 +00:00
|
|
|
* A build-time option has been added to allow Git to be told to refer
|
|
|
|
to its associated files relative to the main binary, in the same
|
|
|
|
way that has been possible on Windows for quite some time, for
|
|
|
|
Linux, BSDs and Darwin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Precompute and store information necessary for ancestry traversal
|
|
|
|
in a separate file to optimize graph walking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The effort to pass the repository in-core structure throughout the
|
|
|
|
API continues. This round deals with the code that implements the
|
|
|
|
refs/replace/ mechanism.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The build procedure "make DEVELOPER=YesPlease" learned to enable a
|
|
|
|
bit more warning options depending on the compiler used to help
|
|
|
|
developers more. There also is "make DEVOPTS=tokens" knob
|
|
|
|
available now, for those who want to help fixing warnings we
|
|
|
|
usually ignore, for example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A new version of the transport protocol is being worked on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The code to interface to GPG has been restructured somewhat to make
|
|
|
|
it cleaner to integrate with other types of signature systems later.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-05-23 05:45:34 +00:00
|
|
|
* The code has been taught to use the duplicated information stored
|
|
|
|
in the commit-graph file to learn the tree object name for a commit
|
|
|
|
to avoid opening and parsing the commit object when it makes sense
|
|
|
|
to do so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git gc" in a large repository takes a lot of time as it considers
|
|
|
|
to repack all objects into one pack by default. The command has
|
|
|
|
been taught to pretend as if the largest existing packfile is
|
|
|
|
marked with ".keep" so that it is left untouched while objects in
|
|
|
|
other packs and loose ones are repacked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The transport protocol v2 is getting updated further.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The codepath around object-info API has been taught to take the
|
|
|
|
repository object (which in turn tells the API which object store
|
|
|
|
the objects are to be located).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git pack-objects" needs to allocate tons of "struct object_entry"
|
|
|
|
while doing its work, and shrinking its size helps the performance
|
|
|
|
quite a bit.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-05-30 05:10:34 +00:00
|
|
|
* The implementation of "git rebase -i --root" has been updated to use
|
|
|
|
the sequencer machinery more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Developer support update, by using BUG() macro instead of die() to
|
|
|
|
mark codepaths that should not happen more clearly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Developer support. Use newer GCC on one of the builds done at
|
|
|
|
TravisCI.org to get more warnings and errors diagnosed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-05-30 12:51:57 +00:00
|
|
|
* By code restructuring of submodule merge in merge-recursive,
|
|
|
|
informational messages from the codepath are now given using the
|
|
|
|
same mechanism as other output, and honor the merge.verbosity
|
|
|
|
configuration. The code also learned to give a few new messages
|
|
|
|
when a submodule three-way merge resolves cleanly when one side
|
|
|
|
records a descendant of the commit chosen by the other side.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Avoid unchecked snprintf() to make future code auditing easier.
|
|
|
|
(merge ac4896f007 jk/snprintf-truncation later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Many tests hardcode the raw object names, which would change once
|
|
|
|
we migrate away from SHA-1. While some of them must test against
|
|
|
|
exact object names, most of them do not have to use hardcoded
|
|
|
|
constants in the test. The latter kind of tests have been updated
|
|
|
|
to test the moral equivalent of the original without hardcoding the
|
|
|
|
actual object names.
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-01 06:16:15 +00:00
|
|
|
* The list of commands with their various attributes were spread
|
|
|
|
across a few places in the build procedure, but it now is getting a
|
|
|
|
bit more consolidated to allow more automation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Quite a many tests assumed that newly created refs are made as
|
|
|
|
loose refs using the files backend, which have been updated to use
|
|
|
|
proper plumbing like rev-parse and update-ref, to avoid breakage
|
|
|
|
once we start using different ref backends.
|

|
Fixes since v2.17
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git shortlog cruft" aborted with a BUG message when run outside a
|
|
|
|
Git repository. The command has been taught to complain about
|
|
|
|
extra and unwanted arguments on its command line instead in such a
|
|
|
|
case.
|
|
|
|
(merge 4aa0161e83 ma/shortlog-revparse later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git stash push -u -- <pathspec>" gave an unnecessary and confusing
|
|
|
|
error message when there was no tracked files that match the
|
|
|
|
<pathspec>, which has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
(merge 353278687e tg/stash-untracked-with-pathspec-fix later to maint).
|
|
|

* Moving a submodule that itself has submodule in it with "git mv"
|

forgot to make necessary adjustment to the nested sub-submodules;
|
|
|

now the codepath learned to recurse into the submodules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git config --unset a.b", when "a.b" is the last variable in an
|
|
|
|
otherwise empty section "a", left an empty section "a" behind, and
|
|
|
|
worse yet, a subsequent "git config a.c value" did not reuse that

empty shell and instead created a new one. These have been
|
|
|

(partially) corrected.

|
|
(merge c71d8bb38a js/empty-config-section-fix later to maint).

* During a "rebase -i" session, the code could give older timestamp

has been corrected.

(merge 12f7babd6b js/ident-date-fix later to maint).

* "git submodule status" did not check the symbolic revision name it

computed for the submodule HEAD is not the NULL, and threw it at
|
|
|
|
printf routines, which has been corrected.

(merge 0b5e2ea7cf nd/submodule-status-fix later to maint).

* When fed input that already has In-Reply-To: and/or References:
|
|
|
|
headers and told to add the same information, "git send-email"
|
|
|
|
added these headers separately, instead of appending to an existing

one, which is a violation of the RFC. This has been corrected.

(merge 256be1d3f0 sa/send-email-dedup-some-headers later to maint).

|
|
|
* The code did not propagate the terminal width to subprocesses via
|
|
|
|
COLUMNS environment variable, which it now does. This caused
|
|
|
|
trouble to "git column" helper subprocess when "git tag --column=row"

tried to list the existing tags on a display with non-default width.
|

(merge b5d5a567fb nd/term-columns later to maint).

* We learned that our source files with ".pl" and ".py" extensions

better viewed as such with appropriate diff drivers.

inside an editor in the final result in certain corner cases, which

updated to check what we need to know in a more direct way, i.e. a

path created in NFC form can be accessed with NFD form (or vice

cover letter as plain text file.

render illustration in a literal block correctly when indented with

exist when B is a NULL OID, but this check was not done correctly

|
|
|
for pseudo-refs outside refs/ hierarchy, e.g. MERGE_HEAD.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule update" and "git submodule add" supported the
|
|
|
|
"--reference" option to borrow objects from a neighbouring local
|
|
|
|
repository like "git clone" does, but lacked the more recent

* "git submodule update" attempts two different kinds of "git fetch"
|
|
|
|
against the upstream repository to grab a commit bound at the
|
|
|
|
submodule's path, but it incorrectly gave up if the first kind
|

(i.e. a normal fetch) failed, making the second "last resort" one

(i.e. fetching an exact commit object by object name) ineffective.
