UI, Workflows & Features
* "git pull --rebase" always chose to do the bog-standard flattening
rebase. You can tell it to run "rebase --preserve-merges" by
setting "pull.rebase" configuration to "preserve".
* "git push --no-thin" actually disables the "thin pack transfer"
optimization.
* Magic pathspecs like ":(icase)makefile" that matches both
Makefile and makefile can be used in more places.
@ -144,6 +151,31 @@ Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.8.4 in the maintenance
track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
* "git ls-files -k" needs to crawl only the part of the working tree
that may overlap the paths in the index to find killed files, but
shared code with the logic to find all the untracked files, which
made it unnecessarily inefficient.
(merge 680be04 jc/ls-files-killed-optim later to maint).
* The commit object names in the insn sheet that was prepared at the
beginning of "rebase -i" session can become ambiguous as the
rebasing progresses and the repository gains more commits. Make
sure the internal record is kept with full 40-hex object names.
(merge 75c6976 es/rebase-i-no-abbrev later to maint).
* "git rebase --preserve-merges" internally used the merge machinery
and as a side effect, left merge summary message in the log, but
when rebasing, there should not be a need for merge summary.
(merge a9f739c rt/rebase-p-no-merge-summary later to maint).
* A call to xread() was used without a loop around to cope with short
read in the codepath to stream new contents to a pack.
(merge e92527c js/xread-in-full later to maint).
* "git rebase -i" forgot that the comment character can be
configurable while reading its insn sheet.
(merge 7bca7af es/rebase-i-respect-core-commentchar later to maint).
* The mailmap support code read past the allocated buffer when the
mailmap file ended with an incomplete line.
(merge f972a16 jk/mailmap-incomplete-line later to maint).
