Fixes since v2.37.2

|

-------------------

|
|
|
* The build procedure for Windows that uses CMake has been updated to
|
|
|
|
pick up the shell interpreter from local installation location.
|
2022-08-25 21:57:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Conditionally allow building Python interpreter on Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fix to lstat() emulation on Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Older gcc with -Wall complains about the universal zero initializer
|
|
|
|
"struct s = { 0 };" idiom, which makes developers' lives
|
|
|
|
inconvenient (as -Werror is enabled by DEVELOPER=YesPlease). The
|
|
|
|
build procedure has been tweaked to help these compilers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Plug memory leaks in the failure code path in the "merge-ort" merge
|
|
|
|
strategy backend.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Avoid repeatedly running getconf to ask libc version in the test
|
|
|
|
suite, and instead just as it once per script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Platform-specific code that determines if a directory is OK to use
|
|
|
|
as a repository has been taught to report more details, especially
|
|
|
|
on Windows.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* "vimdiff3" regression has been corrected.
|
2022-08-25 21:57:38 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git fsck" reads mode from tree objects but canonicalizes the mode
|
|
|
|
before passing it to the logic to check object sanity, which has
|
|
|
|
hid broken tree objects from the checking logic. This has been
|
|
|
|
corrected, but to help exiting projects with broken tree objects
|
|
|
|
that they cannot fix retroactively, the severity of anomalies this
|
|
|
|
code detects has been demoted to "info" for now.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fixes to sparse index compatibility work for "reset" and "checkout"
|
|
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Documentation for "git add --renormalize" has been improved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains other minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
