Git v2.12.3 Release Notes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.12.2
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* The "parse_config_key()" API function has been cleaned up.
|
|
|
|
* An helper function to make it easier to append the result from
|
|
real_path() to a strbuf has been added.
|
|
|
|
* The t/perf performance test suite was not prepared to test not so
|
|
old versions of Git, but now it covers versions of Git that are not
|
|
so ancient.
|
|
|
|
* Picking two versions of Git and running tests to make sure the
|
|
older one and the newer one interoperate happily has now become
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
* Teach the "debug" helper used in the test framework that allows a
|
|
command to run under "gdb" to make the session interactive.
|
|
|
|
* "git repack --depth=<n>" for a long time busted the specified depth
|
|
when reusing delta from existing packs. This has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* user.email that consists of only cruft chars should consistently
|
|
error out, but didn't.
|
|
|
|
* A few tests were run conditionally under (rare) conditions where
|
|
they cannot be run (like running cvs tests under 'root' account).
|
|
|
|
* "git branch @" created refs/heads/@ as a branch, and in general the
|
|
code that handled @{-1} and @{upstream} was a bit too loose in
|
|
disambiguating.
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch" that requests a commit by object name, when the other
|
|
side does not allow such an request, failed without much
|
|
explanation.
|
|
|
|
* "git filter-branch --prune-empty" drops a single-parent commit that
|
|
becomes a no-op, but did not drop a root commit whose tree is empty.
|
|
|
|
* Recent versions of Git treats http alternates (used in dumb http
|
|
transport) just like HTTP redirects and requires the client to
|
|
enable following it, due to security concerns. But we forgot to
|
|
give a warning when we decide not to honor the alternates.
|
|
|
|
* NO_PTHREADS build has been broken for some time; now fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Fix for potential segv introduced in v2.11.0 and later (also
|
|
v2.10.2).
|
|
|
|
* A few unterminated here documents in tests were fixed, which in
|
|
turn revealed incorrect expectations the tests make. These tests
|
|
have been updated.
|
|
|
|
* "git-shell" rejects a request to serve a repository whose name
|
|
begins with a dash, which makes it no longer possible to get it
|
|
confused into spawning service programs like "git-upload-pack" with
|
|
an option like "--help", which in turn would spawn an interactive
|
|
pager, instead of working with the repository user asked to access
|
|
(i.e. the one whose name is "--help").
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
