Git ???? Release Notes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.3
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Ports
|
|
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* The command usage info strings given by "git cmd -h" and in
|
|
documentation have been tweaked for consistency.
|
|
|
|
* The "sync" subcommand of "git p4" now allows users to exclude
|
|
subdirectories like its "clone" subcommand does.
|
|
|
|
* "git log --invert-grep --grep=WIP" will show only commits that do
|
|
not have the string "WIP" in their messages.
|
|
|
|
* "git push" has been taught a "--atomic" option that makes push to
|
|
update more than one ref an "all-or-none" affair.
|
|
|
|
* Extending the "push to deploy" added in 2.3, the behaviour of "git
|
|
push" when updating the branch that is checked out can now be
|
|
tweaked by push-to-checkout hook.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* Implementation of N_() macro has been updated slightly to help us
|
|
detect mistakes.
|
|
|
|
* Implementation of "reflog expire" has been restructured to fit the
|
|
reflogs better with the recently updated ref API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.3
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.3 in the maintenance
|
|
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
|
|
notes for details).
|
|
|
|
* "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it
|
|
tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD".
|
|
(merge a46442f jk/blame-commit-label later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
|
|
not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
|
|
files and failed to do so for whatever reason.
|
|
(merge 89ea903 jn/rerere-fail-on-auto-update-failure later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce
|
|
broken patches.
|
|
(merge 339de50 dk/format-patch-ignore-diff-submodule later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* After attempting and failing a password-less authentication
|
|
(e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based
|
|
Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement.
|
|
(merge 4dbe664 bc/http-fallback-to-password-after-krb-fails later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The "git push" documentation made the "--repo=<there>" option
|
|
easily misunderstood.
|
|
(merge 57b92a7 mg/push-repo-option-doc later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory
|
|
would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file.
|
|
(merge 66ec904 jk/status-read-branch-name-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* A misspelled conditional that is always true has been fixed.
|
|
(merge 94ee8e2 jk/remote-curl-an-array-in-struct-cannot-be-null later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the
|
|
only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in
|
|
the --raw format.
|
|
(merge ac1c2d9 jc/diff-format-doc later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the
|
|
dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other
|
|
side.
|
|
(merge 8b9c2dd jk/dumb-http-idx-fetch-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author
|
|
name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been
|
|
reworded to avoid misunderstanding.
|
|
(merge 1044b1f mg/commit-author-no-match-malformed-message later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git log --help" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant
|
|
to the "log" command.
|
|
(merge 3cab02d jc/doc-log-rev-list-options later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git apply --whitespace=fix" used to under-allocate the memory when
|
|
the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch.
|
|
(merge 407a792 jc/apply-ws-fix-expands later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it"
|
|
interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when
|
|
the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the
|
|
user could have made was to choose nothing.
|
|
(merge a9c4641 ak/add-i-empty-candidates later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The insn sheet "git rebase -i" creates did not fully honor
|
|
core.abbrev settings.
|
|
(merge edb72d5 ks/rebase-i-abbrev later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to "list"
|
|
command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD.
|
|
(merge 33cae54 mh/deref-symref-over-helper-transport later to maint).
