Git v2.13.1 Release Notes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.13
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* The Web interface to gmane news archive is long gone, even though
|
|
the articles are still accessible via NTTP. Replace the links with
|
|
ones to public-inbox.org. Because their message identification is
|
|
based on the actual message-id, it is likely that it will be easier
|
|
to migrate away from it if/when necessary.
|
|
|
|
* Update tests to pass under GETTEXT_POISON (a mechanism to ensure
|
|
that output strings that should not be translated are not
|
|
translated by mistake), and tell TravisCI to run them.
|
|
|
|
* Setting "log.decorate=false" in the configuration file did not take
|
|
effect in v2.13, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* An earlier update to test 7400 needed to be skipped on CYGWIN.
|
|
|
|
* Git sometimes gives an advice in a rhetorical question that does
|
|
not require an answer, which can confuse new users and non native
|
|
speakers. Attempt to rephrase them.
|
|
|
|
* "git read-tree -m" (no tree-ish) gave a nonsense suggestion "use
|
|
--empty if you want to clear the index". With "-m", such a request
|
|
will still fail anyway, as you'd need to name at least one tree-ish
|
|
to be merged.
|
|
|
|
* The codepath in "git am" that is used when running "git rebase"
|
|
leaked memory held for the log message of the commits being rebased.
|
|
|
|
* "pack-objects" can stream a slice of an existing packfile out when
|
|
the pack bitmap can tell that the reachable objects are all needed
|
|
in the output, without inspecting individual objects. This
|
|
strategy however would not work well when "--local" and other
|
|
options are in use, and need to be disabled.
|
|
|
|
* Clarify documentation for include.path and includeIf.<condition>.path
|
|
configuration variables.
|
|
|
|
* Tag objects, which are not reachable from any ref, that point at
|
|
missing objects were mishandled by "git gc" and friends (they
|
|
should silently be ignored instead)
|
|
|
|
* A few http:// links that are redirected to https:// in the
|
|
documentation have been updated to https:// links.
|
|
|
|
* Make sure our tests would pass when the sources are checked out
|
|
with "platform native" line ending convention by default on
|
|
Windows. Some "text" files out tests use and the test scripts
|
|
themselves that are meant to be run with /bin/sh, ought to be
|
|
checked out with eol=LF even on Windows.
|
|
|
|
* Fix memory leaks pointed out by Coverity (and people).
|
|
|
|
* The receive-pack program now makes sure that the push certificate
|
|
records the same set of push options used for pushing.
|
|
|
|
* "git cherry-pick" and other uses of the sequencer machinery
|
|
mishandled a trailer block whose last line is an incomplete line.
|
|
This has been fixed so that an additional sign-off etc. are added
|
|
after completing the existing incomplete line.
|
|
|
|
* The shell completion script (in contrib/) learned "git stash" has
|
|
a new "push" subcommand.
|
|
|
|
* Travis CI gained a task to format the documentation with both
|
|
AsciiDoc and AsciiDoctor.
|
|
|
|
* Update the C style recommendation for notes for translators, as
|
|
recent versions of gettext tools can work with our style of
|
|
multi-line comments.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone --config var=val" is a way to populate the
|
|
per-repository configuration file of the new repository, but it did
|
|
not work well when val is an empty string. This has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* A few codepaths in "checkout" and "am" working on an unborn branch
|
|
tried to access an uninitialized piece of memory.
|
|
|
|
* "git for-each-ref --format=..." with %(HEAD) in the format used to
|
|
resolve the HEAD symref as many times as it had processed refs,
|
|
which was wasteful, and "git branch" shared the same problem.
|
|
|
|
* "git interpret-trailers", when used as GIT_EDITOR for "git commit
|
|
-v", looked for and appended to a trailer block at the very end,
|
|
i.e. at the end of the "diff" output. The command has been
|
|
corrected to pay attention to the cut-mark line "commit -v" adds to
|
|
the buffer---the real trailer block should appear just before it.
|
|
|
|
* A test allowed both "git push" and "git receive-pack" on the other
|
|
end write their traces into the same file. This is OK on platforms
|
|
that allows atomically appending to a file opened with O_APPEND,
|
|
but on other platforms led to a mangled output, causing
|
|
intermittent test failures. This has been fixed by disabling
|
|
traces from "receive-pack" in the test.
|
|
|
|
* "foo\bar\baz" in "git fetch foo\bar\baz", even though there is no
|
|
slashes in it, cannot be a nickname for a remote on Windows, as
|
|
that is likely to be a pathname on a local filesystem.
|
|
|
|
* The "collision detecting" SHA-1 implementation shipped with 2.13
|
|
was quite broken on some big-endian platforms and/or platforms that
|
|
do not like unaligned fetches. Update to the upstream code which
|
|
has already fixed these issues.
|
|
|
|
* "git am -h" triggered a BUG().
|
|
|
|
* The interaction of "url.*.insteadOf" and custom URL scheme's
|
|
whitelisting is now documented better.
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
