Git 2.10 Release Notes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Backward compatibility notes
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.9
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* "git pull --rebase --verify-signature" learned to warn the user
|
|
that "--verify-signature" is a no-op when rebasing.
|
|
|
|
* An upstream project can make a recommendation to shallowly clone
|
|
some submodules in the .gitmodules file it ships.
|
|
|
|
* "git worktree add" learned that '-' can be used as a short-hand for
|
|
"@{-1}", the previous branch.
|
|
|
|
* Update the funcname definition to support css files.
|
|
|
|
* The completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete "git
|
|
status" options.
|
|
|
|
* Messages that are generated by auto gc during "git push" on the
|
|
receiving end are now passed back to the sending end in such a way
|
|
that they are shown with "remote: " prefix to avoid confusing the
|
|
users.
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* "git fast-import" learned the same performance trick to avoid
|
|
creating too small a packfile as "git fetch" and "git push" have,
|
|
using *.unpackLimit configuration.
|
|
|
|
* When "git daemon" is run without --[init-]timeout specified, a
|
|
connection from a client that silently goes offline can hang around
|
|
for a long time, wasting resources. The socket-level KEEPALIVE has
|
|
been enabled to allow the OS to notice such failed connections.
|
|
(merge a43b68a ew/daemon-socket-keepalive later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git upload-pack" command has been updated to use the parse-options
|
|
API.
|
|
|
|
* The "git apply" standalone program is being libified; this is the
|
|
first step to move many state variables into a structure that can
|
|
be explicitly (re)initialized to make the machinery callable more
|
|
than once.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.9
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
* The commands in `git log` family take %C(auto) in a custom format
|
|
string. This unconditionally turned the color on, ignoring
|
|
--no-color or with --color=auto when the output is not connected to
|
|
a tty; this was corrected to make the format truly behave as
|
|
"auto".
|
|
(merge b15a3e0 et/pretty-format-c-auto later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-list --count" whose walk-length is limited with "-n"
|
|
option did not work well with the counting optimized to look at the
|
|
bitmap index.
|
|
(merge fb85db8 jk/rev-list-count-with-bitmap later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git show -W" (extend hunks to cover the entire function, delimited
|
|
by lines that match the "funcname" pattern) used to show the entire
|
|
file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file,
|
|
which has been fixed.
|
|
(merge 6f8d9bc rs/xdiff-hunk-with-func-line later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The documentation set has been updated so that literal commands,
|
|
configuration variables and environment variables are consistently
|
|
typeset in fixed-width font and bold in manpages.
|
|
(merge ae9f631 tr/doc-tt later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git svn propset" subcommand that was added in 2.3 days is
|
|
documented now.
|
|
(merge 19a7f24 ap/git-svn-propset-doc later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The documentation tries to consistently spell "GPG"; when
|
|
referring to the specific program name, "gpg" is used.
|
|
(merge bc91316 dn/gpg-doc later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git reflog" stopped upon seeing an entry that denotes a branch
|
|
creation event (aka "unborn"), which made it appear as if the
|
|
reflog was truncated.
|
|
(merge 71abeb7 sg/reflog-past-root later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The git-prompt scriptlet (in contrib/) was not friendly with those
|
|
who uses "set -u", which has been fixed.
|
|
(merge 34d8f5a vs/prompt-avoid-unset-variable later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* compat/regex code did not cleanly compile.
|
|
(merge bd8f005 rj/compat-regex-size-max-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* A codepath that used alloca(3) to place an unbounded amount of data
|
|
on the stack has been updated to avoid doing so.
|
|
(merge b8ba412 jk/avoid-unbounded-alloca later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git update-index --add --chmod=+x file" may be usable as an escape
|
|
hatch, but not a friendly thing to force for people who do need to
|
|
use it regularly. "git add --chmod=+x file" can be used instead.
|
|
(merge 4e55ed3 et/add-chmod-x later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Build improvements for gnome-keyring (in contrib/)
|
|
(merge 3cddb00 nb/gnome-keyring-build later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git status" used to say "working directory" when it meant "working
|
|
tree".
|
|
(merge 2a0e6cd lv/status-say-working-tree-not-directory later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Comments about misbehaving FreeBSD shells have been clarified with
|
|
the version number (9.x and before are broken, newer ones are OK).
|
|
(merge 9b35cad em/newer-freebsd-shells-are-fine-with-returns later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git cherry-pick A" worked on an unborn branch, but "git
|
|
cherry-pick A..B" didn't.
|
|
(merge 0f974e2 mg/cherry-pick-multi-on-unborn later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other minor clean-ups and documentation updates
|
|
(merge 3a39f61 pc/occurred later to maint).
|
|
(merge 9e70233 jk/fetch-prune-doc later to maint).
|
|
(merge ed008d7 pb/strbuf-read-file-doc later to maint).
|
|
(merge 31da121 jc/deref-tag later to maint).
