Git 2.9 Release Notes
|
||||||
|
=====================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Backward compatibility note
|
||||||
|
---------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The end-user facing Porcelain level commands in the "git diff" and
|
||||||
|
"git log" by default enables the rename detection; you can still use
|
||||||
|
"diff.renames" configuration variable to disable this.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Updates since v2.8
|
||||||
|
------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The end-user facing Porcelain level commands like "diff" and "log"
|
||||||
|
now enables the rename detection by default.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The credential.helper configuration variable is cumulative and
|
||||||
|
there is no good way to override it from the command line. As
|
||||||
|
a special case, giving an empty string as its value now serves
|
||||||
|
as the signal to clear the values specified in various files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* A new "interactive.diffFilter" configuration can be used to
|
||||||
|
customize the diff shown in "git add -i" session.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The embedded args argv-array in the child process is used to build
|
||||||
|
the command line to run pack-objects instead of using a separate
|
||||||
|
array of strings.
|
||||||
|
(merge 65a3629 mp/upload-pack-use-embedded-args later to maint).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* A test for tags has been restructured so that more parts of it can
|
||||||
|
easily be run on a platform without a working GnuPG.
|
||||||
|
(merge 618310a es/test-gpg-tags later to maint).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The startup_info data, which records if we are working inside a
|
||||||
|
repository (among other things), are now uniformly available to Git
|
||||||
|
subcommand implementations, and Git avoids attempting to touch
|
||||||
|
references when we are not in a repository.
|
||||||
|
(merge 11e6b3f jk/startup-info later to maint).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fixes since v2.8
|
||||||
|
----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.8 in the maintenance
|
||||||
|
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
|
||||||
|
notes for details).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* "git config --get-urlmatch", unlike other variants of the "git
|
||||||
|
config --get" family, did not signal error with its exit status
|
||||||
|
when there was no matching configuration.
|
||||||
|
(merge 24990b2 jk/config-get-urlmatch later to maint).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* The "--local-env-vars" and "--resolve-git-dir" options of "git
|
||||||
|
rev-parse" failed to work outside a repository when the command's
|
||||||
|
option parsing was rewritten in 1.8.5 era.
|
||||||
|
(merge fc7d47f jk/rev-parse-local-env-vars later to maint).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* "git index-pack --keep[=<msg>] pack-$name.pack" simply did not work.
|
||||||
|
(merge 0e94242 jc/maint-index-pack-keep later to maint).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Fetching of history by naming a commit object name directly didn't
|
||||||
|
work across remote-curl transport.
|
||||||
|
(merge 754ecb1 gf/fetch-pack-direct-object-fetch later to maint).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* A small memory leak in an error codepath has been plugged in xdiff
|
||||||
|
code.
|
||||||
|
(merge 87f1625 rj/xdiff-prepare-plug-leak-on-error-codepath later to maint).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* strbuf_getwholeline() did not NUL-terminate the buffer on certain
|
||||||
|
corner cases in its error codepath.
|
||||||
|
(merge b709043 jk/getwholeline-getdelim-empty later to maint).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Other minor clean-ups and documentation updates
|
||||||
|
(merge aed7480 mm/lockfile-error-message later to maint).
|
||||||
|
(merge bfee614 jc/index-pack later to maint).
