Git 2.42.1 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
There is nothing exciting to see here. Relative to Git 2.42, this
|
|
release contains the fixes that have already been merged to the
|
|
'master' branch of the development towards Git 2.43 that has been
|
|
tagged as Git 2.43.0-rc0.
|
|
|
|
Fixes since Git 2.42.0
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
* Tests that are known to pass with LSan are now marked as such.
|
|
|
|
* Flaky "git p4" tests, as well as "git svn" tests, are now skipped
|
|
in the (rather expensive) sanitizer CI job.
|
|
|
|
* Tests with LSan from time to time seem to emit harmless message
|
|
that makes our tests unnecessarily flaky; we work it around by
|
|
filtering the uninteresting output.
|
|
|
|
* GitHub CI workflow has learned to trigger Coverity check.
|
|
|
|
* Overly long label names used in the sequencer machinery are now
|
|
chopped to fit under filesystem limitation.
|
|
|
|
* Scalar updates.
|
|
|
|
* Tweak GitHub Actions CI so that pushing the same commit to multiple
|
|
branch tips at the same time will not waste building and testing
|
|
the same thing twice.
|
|
|
|
* The commit-graph verification code that detects mixture of zero and
|
|
non-zero generation numbers has been updated.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff -w --exit-code" with various options did not work
|
|
correctly, which is being addressed.
|
|
|
|
* transfer.unpackLimit ought to be used as a fallback, but overrode
|
|
fetch.unpackLimit and receive.unpackLimit instead.
|
|
|
|
* The use of API between two calls to require_clean_work_tree() from
|
|
the sequencer code has been cleaned up for consistency.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --no-such-option" and other corner cases around the exit
|
|
status of the "diff" command has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git for-each-ref --sort='contents:size'" sorts the refs according
|
|
to size numerically, giving a ref that points at a blob twelve-byte
|
|
(12) long before showing a blob hundred-byte (100) long.
|
|
|
|
* Various fixes to the behavior of "rebase -i" when the command got
|
|
interrupted by conflicting changes.
|
|
|
|
* References from description of the `--patch` option in various
|
|
manual pages have been simplified and improved.
|
|
|
|
* "git grep -e A --no-or -e B" is accepted, even though the negation
|
|
of "or" did not mean anything, which has been tightened.
|
|
|
|
* The completion script (in contrib/) has been taught to treat the
|
|
"-t" option to "git checkout" and "git switch" just like the
|
|
"--track" option, to complete remote-tracking branches.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --no-index -R <(one) <(two)" did not work correctly,
|
|
which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Update "git maintenance" timers' implementation based on systemd
|
|
timers to work with WSL.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --cached" codepath did not fill the necessary stat
|
|
information for a file when fsmonitor knows it is clean and ended
|
|
up behaving as if it is not clean, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Clarify how "alias.foo = : git cmd ; aliased-command-string" should
|
|
be spelled with necessary whitespaces around punctuation marks to
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
* HTTP Header redaction code has been adjusted for a newer version of
|
|
cURL library that shows its traces differently from earlier
|
|
versions.
|
|
|
|
* An error message given by "git send-email" when given a malformed
|
|
address did not give correct information, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* UBSan options were not propagated through the test framework to git
|
|
run via the httpd, unlike ASan options, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.
