chore(3p/git): Unvendor git and track patches instead r/2903
This was vendored a long time ago under the expectation that keeping it in sync with cgit would be easier this way, but it has proven not to be a big issue. On the other hand, a vendored copy of git is an annoying maintenance burden. It is much easier to rebase the single (dottime) patch that we have. This removes the vendored copy of git and instead passes the git source code to cgit via `pkgs.srcOnly`, which includes the applied patch so that cgit can continue rendering dottime.

Although all of the changes in this section -happened before the current v1.4.4 release, they are summarized -here in the v1.5.0 release notes for people who skipped earlier -versions. - -As of git v1.5.0 there are some optional features that changes -the repository to allow data to be stored and transferred more -efficiently. These features are not enabled by default, as they -will make the repository unusable with older versions of git. -Specifically, the available options are: - - - There is a configuration variable core.legacyheaders that - changes the format of loose objects so that they are more - efficient to pack and to send out of the repository over git - native protocol, since v1.4.2. However, loose objects - written in the new format cannot be read by git older than - that version; people fetching from your repository using - older clients over dumb transports (e.g. http) using older - versions of git will also be affected. - - To let git use the new loose object format, you have to - set core.legacyheaders to false. - - - Since v1.4.3, configuration repack.usedeltabaseoffset allows - packfile to be created in more space efficient format, which - cannot be read by git older than that version. - - To let git use the new format for packfiles, you have to - set repack.usedeltabaseoffset to true. - -The above two new features are not enabled by default and you -have to explicitly ask for them, because they make repositories -unreadable by older versions of git, and in v1.5.0 we still do -not enable them by default for the same reason. We will change -this default probably 1 year after 1.4.2's release, when it is -reasonable to expect everybody to have new enough version of -git. - - - 'git pack-refs' appeared in v1.4.4; this command allows tags - to be accessed much more efficiently than the traditional - 'one-file-per-tag' format. Older git-native clients can - still fetch from a repository that packed and pruned refs - (the server side needs to run the up-to-date version of git), - but older dumb transports cannot. Packing of refs is done by - an explicit user action, either by use of "git pack-refs - --prune" command or by use of "git gc" command. - - - 'git -p' to paginate anything -- many commands do pagination - by default on a tty. Introduced between v1.4.1 and v1.4.2; - this may surprise old timers. - - - 'git archive' superseded 'git tar-tree' in v1.4.3; - - - 'git cvsserver' was new invention in v1.3.0; - - - 'git repo-config', 'git grep', 'git rebase' and 'gitk' were - seriously enhanced during v1.4.0 timeperiod. - - - 'gitweb' became part of git.git during v1.4.0 timeperiod and - seriously modified since then. - - - reflog is an v1.4.0 invention. This allows you to name a - revision that a branch used to be at (e.g. "git diff - master@{yesterday} master" allows you to see changes since - yesterday's tip of the branch). - - -Updates in v1.5.0 since v1.4.4 series -------------------------------------- - -* Index manipulation - - - git-add is to add contents to the index (aka "staging area" - for the next commit), whether the file the contents happen to - be is an existing one or a newly created one. - - - git-add without any argument does not add everything - anymore. Use 'git-add .' instead. Also you can add - otherwise ignored files with an -f option. - - - git-add tries to be more friendly to users by offering an - interactive mode ("git-add -i"). - - - git-commit <path> used to refuse to commit if <path> was - different between HEAD and the index (i.e. update-index was - used on it earlier). This check was removed. - - - git-rm is much saner and safer. It is used to remove paths - from both the index file and the working tree, and makes sure - you are not losing any local modification before doing so. - - - git-reset <tree> <paths>... can be used to revert index - entries for selected paths. - - - git-update-index is much less visible. Many suggestions to - use the command in git output and documentation have now been - replaced by simpler commands such as "git add" or "git rm". - - -* Repository layout and objects transfer - - - The data for origin repository is stored in the configuration - file $GIT_DIR/config, not in $GIT_DIR/remotes/, for newly - created clones. The latter is still supported and there is - no need to convert your existing repository if you are - already comfortable with your workflow with the layout. - - - git-clone always uses what is known as "separate remote" - layout for a newly created repository with a working tree. - - A repository with the separate remote layout starts with only - one default branch, 'master', to be used for your own - development. Unlike the traditional layout that copied all - the upstream branches into your branch namespace (while - renaming their 'master' to your 'origin'), the new layout - puts upstream branches into local "remote-tracking branches" - with their own namespace. These can be referenced with names - such as "origin/$upstream_branch_name" and are stored in - .git/refs/remotes rather than .git/refs/heads where normal - branches are stored. - - This layout keeps your own branch namespace less cluttered, - avoids name collision with your upstream, makes it possible - to automatically track new branches created at the remote - after you clone from it, and makes it easier to interact with - more than one remote repository (you can use "git remote" to - add other repositories to track). There might be some - surprises: - - * 'git branch' does not show the remote tracking branches. - It only lists your own branches. Use '-r' option to view - the tracking branches. - - * If you are forking off of a branch obtained from the - upstream, you would have done something like 'git branch - my-next next', because traditional layout dropped the - tracking branch 'next' into your own branch namespace. - With the separate remote layout, you say 'git branch next - origin/next', which allows you to use the matching name - 'next' for your own branch. It also allows you to track a - remote other than 'origin' (i.e. where you initially cloned - from) and fork off of a branch from there the same way - (e.g. "git branch mingw j6t/master"). - - Repositories initialized with the traditional layout continue - to work. - - - New branches that appear on the origin side after a clone is - made are also tracked automatically. This is done with an - wildcard refspec "refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*", which - older git does not understand, so if you clone with 1.5.0, - you would need to downgrade remote.*.fetch in the - configuration file to specify each branch you are interested - in individually if you plan to fetch into the repository with - older versions of git (but why would you?). - - - Similarly, wildcard refspec "refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/me/*" - can be given to "git-push" command to update the tracking - branches that is used to track the repository you are pushing - from on the remote side. - - - git-branch and git-show-branch know remote tracking branches - (use the command line switch "-r" to list only tracked branches). - - - git-push can now be used to delete a remote branch or a tag. - This requires the updated git on the remote side (use "git - push <remote> :refs/heads/<branch>" to delete "branch"). - - - git-push more aggressively keeps the transferred objects - packed. Earlier we recommended to monitor amount of loose - objects and repack regularly, but you should repack when you - accumulated too many small packs this way as well. Updated - git-count-objects helps you with this. - - - git-fetch also more aggressively keeps the transferred objects - packed. This behavior of git-push and git-fetch can be - tweaked with a single configuration transfer.unpacklimit (but - usually there should not be any need for a user to tweak it). - - - A new command, git-remote, can help you manage your remote - tracking branch definitions. - - - You may need to specify explicit paths for upload-pack and/or - receive-pack due to your ssh daemon configuration on the - other end. This can now be done via remote.*.uploadpack and - remote.*.receivepack configuration. - - -* Bare repositories - - - Certain commands change their behavior in a bare repository - (i.e. a repository without associated working tree). We use - a fairly conservative heuristic (if $GIT_DIR is ".git", or - ends with "/.git", the repository is not bare) to decide if a - repository is bare, but "core.bare" configuration variable - can be used to override the heuristic when it misidentifies - your repository. - - - git-fetch used to complain updating the current branch but - this is now allowed for a bare repository. So is the use of - 'git-branch -f' to update the current branch. - - - Porcelain-ish commands that require a working tree refuses to - work in a bare repository. - - -* Reflog - - - Reflog records the history from the view point of the local - repository. In other words, regardless of the real history, - the reflog shows the history as seen by one particular - repository (this enables you to ask "what was the current - revision in _this_ repository, yesterday at 1pm?"). This - facility is enabled by default for repositories with working - trees, and can be accessed with the "branch@{time}" and - "branch@{Nth}" notation. - - - "git show-branch" learned showing the reflog data with the - new -g option. "git log" has -g option to view reflog - entries in a more verbose manner. - - - git-branch knows how to rename branches and moves existing - reflog data from the old branch to the new one. - - - In addition to the reflog support in v1.4.4 series, HEAD - reference maintains its own log. "HEAD@{5.minutes.ago}" - means the commit you were at 5 minutes ago, which takes - branch switching into account. If you want to know where the - tip of your current branch was at 5 minutes ago, you need to - explicitly say its name (e.g. "master@{5.minutes.ago}") or - omit the refname altogether i.e. "@{5.minutes.ago}". - - - The commits referred to by reflog entries are now protected - against pruning. The new command "git reflog expire" can be - used to truncate older reflog entries and entries that refer - to commits that have been pruned away previously with older - versions of git. - - Existing repositories that have been using reflog may get - complaints from fsck-objects and may not be able to run - git-repack, if you had run git-prune from older git; please - run "git reflog expire --stale-fix --all" first to remove - reflog entries that refer to commits that are no longer in - the repository when that happens. - - -* Cruft removal - - - We used to say "old commits are retrievable using reflog and - 'master@{yesterday}' syntax as long as you haven't run - git-prune". We no longer have to say the latter half of the - above sentence, as git-prune does not remove things reachable - from reflog entries. - - - There is a toplevel garbage collector script, 'git-gc', that - runs periodic cleanup functions, including 'git-repack -a -d', - 'git-reflog expire', 'git-pack-refs --prune', and 'git-rerere - gc'. - - - The output from fsck ("fsck-objects" is called just "fsck" - now, but the old name continues to work) was needlessly - alarming in that it warned missing objects that are reachable - only from dangling objects. This has been corrected and the - output is much more useful. - - -* Detached HEAD - - - You can use 'git-checkout' to check out an arbitrary revision - or a tag as well, instead of named branches. This will - dissociate your HEAD from the branch you are currently on. - - A typical use of this feature is to "look around". E.g. - - $ git checkout v2.6.16 - ... compile, test, etc. - $ git checkout v2.6.17 - ... compile, test, etc. - - - After detaching your HEAD, you can go back to an existing - branch with usual "git checkout $branch". Also you can - start a new branch using "git checkout -b $newbranch" to - start a new branch at that commit. - - - You can even pull from other repositories, make merges and - commits while your HEAD is detached. Also you can use "git - reset" to jump to arbitrary commit, while still keeping your - HEAD detached. - - Remember that a detached state is volatile, i.e. it will be forgotten - as soon as you move away from it with the checkout or reset command, - unless a branch is created from it as mentioned above. It is also - possible to rescue a lost detached state from the HEAD reflog. - - -* Packed refs - - - Repositories with hundreds of tags have been paying large - overhead, both in storage and in runtime, due to the - traditional one-ref-per-file format. A new command, - git-pack-refs, can be used to "pack" them in more efficient - representation (you can let git-gc do this for you). - - - Clones and fetches over dumb transports are now aware of - packed refs and can download from repositories that use - them. - - -* Configuration - - - configuration related to color setting are consolidated under - color.* namespace (older diff.color.*, status.color.* are - still supported). - - - 'git-repo-config' command is accessible as 'git-config' now. - - -* Updated features - - - git-describe uses better criteria to pick a base ref. It - used to pick the one with the newest timestamp, but now it - picks the one that is topologically the closest (that is, - among ancestors of commit C, the ref T that has the shortest - output from "git-rev-list T..C" is chosen). - - - git-describe gives the number of commits since the base ref - between the refname and the hash suffix. E.g. the commit one - before v2.6.20-rc6 in the kernel repository is: - - v2.6.20-rc5-306-ga21b069 - - which tells you that its object name begins with a21b069, - v2.6.20-rc5 is an ancestor of it (meaning, the commit - contains everything -rc5 has), and there are 306 commits - since v2.6.20-rc5. - - - git-describe with --abbrev=0 can be used to show only the - name of the base ref. - - - git-blame learned a new option, --incremental, that tells it - to output the blames as they are assigned. A sample script - to use it is also included as contrib/blameview. - - - git-blame starts annotating from the working tree by default. - - -* Less external dependency - - - We no longer require the "merge" program from the RCS suite. - All 3-way file-level merges are now done internally. - - - The original implementation of git-merge-recursive which was - in Python has been removed; we have a C implementation of it - now. - - - git-shortlog is no longer a Perl script. It no longer - requires output piped from git-log; it can accept revision - parameters directly on the command line. - - -* I18n - - - We have always encouraged the commit message to be encoded in - UTF-8, but the users are allowed to use legacy encoding as - appropriate for their projects. This will continue to be the - case. However, a non UTF-8 commit encoding _must_ be - explicitly set with i18n.commitencoding in the repository - where a commit is made; otherwise git-commit-tree will - complain if the log message does not look like a valid UTF-8 - string. - - - The value of i18n.commitencoding in the originating - repository is recorded in the commit object on the "encoding" - header, if it is not UTF-8. git-log and friends notice this, - and re-encodes the message to the log output encoding when - displaying, if they are different. The log output encoding - is determined by "git log --encoding=<encoding>", - i18n.logoutputencoding configuration, or i18n.commitencoding - configuration, in the decreasing order of preference, and - defaults to UTF-8. - - - Tools for e-mailed patch application now default to -u - behavior; i.e. it always re-codes from the e-mailed encoding - to the encoding specified with i18n.commitencoding. This - unfortunately forces projects that have happily been using a - legacy encoding without setting i18n.commitencoding to set - the configuration, but taken with other improvement, please - excuse us for this very minor one-time inconvenience. - - -* e-mailed patches - - - See the above I18n section. - - - git-format-patch now enables --binary without being asked. - git-am does _not_ default to it, as sending binary patch via - e-mail is unusual and is harder to review than textual - patches and it is prudent to require the person who is - applying the patch to explicitly ask for it. - - - The default suffix for git-format-patch output is now ".patch", - not ".txt". This can be changed with --suffix=.txt option, - or setting the config variable "format.suffix" to ".txt". - - -* Foreign SCM interfaces - - - git-svn now requires the Perl SVN:: libraries, the - command-line backend was too slow and limited. - - - the 'commit' subcommand of git-svn has been renamed to - 'set-tree', and 'dcommit' is the recommended replacement for - day-to-day work. - - - git fast-import backend. - - -* User support - - - Quite a lot of documentation updates. - - - Bash completion scripts have been updated heavily. - - - Better error messages for often used Porcelainish commands. - - - Git GUI. This is a simple Tk based graphical interface for - common Git operations. - - -* Sliding mmap - - - We used to assume that we can mmap the whole packfile while - in use, but with a large project this consumes huge virtual - memory space and truly huge ones would not fit in the - userland address space on 32-bit platforms. We now mmap huge - packfile in pieces to avoid this problem. - - -* Shallow clones - - - There is a partial support for 'shallow' repositories that - keeps only recent history.

This was fixed to match the - behavior with --index. A patch that is meant to be applied - with -p1 from the toplevel of the project tree can be - applied with any custom -p<n> option. A patch that is not - relative to the toplevel needs to be applied with -p<n> - option with or without --index (or --cached). - - - "git diff" outputs a trailing HT when pathnames have embedded - SP on +++/--- header lines, in order to help "GNU patch" to - parse its output. "git apply" was already updated to accept - this modified output format since ce74618d (Sep 22, 2006). - - - "git cvsserver" runs hooks/update and honors its exit status. - - - "git cvsserver" can be told to send everything with -kb. - - - "git diff --check" also honors the --color output option. - - - "git name-rev" used to stress the fact that a ref is a tag too - much, by saying something like "v1.2.3^0~22". It now says - "v1.2.3~22" in such a case (it still says "v1.2.3^0" if it does - not talk about an ancestor of the commit that is tagged, which - makes sense). - - - "git rev-list --boundary" now shows boundary markers for the - commits omitted by --max-age and --max-count condition. - - - The configuration mechanism now reads $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig. - - - "git apply --verbose" shows what preimage lines were wanted - when it couldn't find them. - - - "git status" in a read-only repository got a bit saner. - - - "git fetch" (hence "git clone" and "git pull") are less - noisy when the output does not go to tty. - - - "git fetch" between repositories with many refs were slow - even when there are not many changes that needed - transferring. This has been sped up by partially rewriting - the heaviest parts in C. - - - "git mailinfo" which splits an e-mail into a patch and the - meta-information was rewritten, thanks to Don Zickus.

This plumbing (i.e. "core") level - superproject support explicitly excludes recursive behaviour. - - The "subproject" entries in the index and trees of a superproject - are incompatible with older versions of git. Experimenting with - the plumbing level support is encouraged, but be warned that - unless everybody in your project updates to this release or - later, using this feature would make your project - inaccessible by people with older versions of git. - -* Plumbing level gitattributes support. - - The gitattributes mechanism allows you to add 'attributes' to - paths in your project, and affect the way certain git - operations work. Currently you can influence if a path is - considered a binary or text (the former would be treated by - 'git diff' not to produce textual output; the latter can go - through the line endings conversion process in repositories - with core.autocrlf set), expand and unexpand '$Id$' keyword - with blob object name, specify a custom 3-way merge driver, - and specify a custom diff driver. You can also apply - arbitrary filter to contents on check-in/check-out codepath - but this feature is an extremely sharp-edged razor and needs - to be handled with caution (do not use it unless you - understand the earlier mailing list discussion on keyword - expansion). These conversions apply when checking files in - or out, and exporting via git-archive. - -* The packfile format now optionally supports 64-bit index. - - This release supports the "version 2" format of the .idx - file. This is automatically enabled when a huge packfile - needs more than 32-bit to express offsets of objects in the - pack. - -* Comes with an updated git-gui 0.7.1 - -* Updated gitweb: - - - can show combined diff for merges; - - uses font size of user's preference, not hardcoded in pixels; - - can now 'grep'; - -* New commands and options. - - - "git bisect start" can optionally take a single bad commit and - zero or more good commits on the command line. - - - "git shortlog" can optionally be told to wrap its output. - - - "subtree" merge strategy allows another project to be merged in as - your subdirectory. - - - "git format-patch" learned a new --subject-prefix=<string> - option, to override the built-in "[PATCH]". - - - "git add -u" is a quick way to do the first stage of "git - commit -a" (i.e. update the index to match the working - tree); it obviously does not make a commit. - - - "git clean" honors a new configuration, "clean.requireforce". When - set to true, this makes "git clean" a no-op, preventing you - from losing files by typing "git clean" when you meant to - say "make clean". You can still say "git clean -f" to - override this. - - - "git log" family of commands learned --date={local,relative,default} - option. --date=relative is synonym to the --relative-date. - --date=local gives the timestamp in local timezone. - -* Updated behavior of existing commands. - - - When $GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL or $GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL is not set - but $EMAIL is set, the latter is used as a substitute. - - - "git diff --stat" shows size of preimage and postimage blobs - for binary contents.

You can specify a number of filters to - modify the commits, files and trees. - - - "git cvsserver" learned new options (--base-path, --export-all, - --strict-paths) inspired by "git daemon". - - - "git daemon --base-path-relaxed" can help migrating a repository URL - that did not use to use --base-path to use --base-path. - - - "git commit" can use "-t templatefile" option and commit.template - configuration variable to prime the commit message given to you in the - editor. - - - "git submodule" command helps you manage the projects from - the superproject that contain them. - - - In addition to core.compression configuration option, - core.loosecompression and pack.compression options can - independently tweak zlib compression levels used for loose - and packed objects. - - - "git ls-tree -l" shows size of blobs pointed at by the - tree entries, similar to "/bin/ls -l". - - - "git rev-list" learned --regexp-ignore-case and - --extended-regexp options to tweak its matching logic used - for --grep filtering. - - - "git describe --contains" is a handier way to call more - obscure command "git name-rev --tags". - - - "git gc --aggressive" tells the command to spend more cycles - to optimize the repository harder. - - - "git repack" learned a "window-memory" limit which - dynamically reduces the window size to stay within the - specified memory usage. - - - "git repack" can be told to split resulting packs to avoid - exceeding limit specified with "--max-pack-size". - - - "git fsck" gained --verbose option. This is really really - verbose but it might help you identify exact commit that is - corrupt in your repository. - - - "git format-patch" learned --numbered-files option. This - may be useful for MH users. - - - "git format-patch" learned format.subjectprefix configuration - variable, which serves the same purpose as "--subject-prefix" - option. - - - "git tag -n -l" shows tag annotations while listing tags. - - - "git cvsimport" can optionally use the separate-remote layout. - - - "git blame" can be told to see through commits that change - whitespaces and indentation levels with "-w" option. - - - "git send-email" can be told not to thread the messages when - sending out more than one patches. - - - "git send-email" can also be told how to find whom to cc the - message to for each message via --cc-cmd. - - - "git config" learned NUL terminated output format via -z to - help scripts. - - - "git add" learned "--refresh <paths>..." option to selectively refresh - the cached stat information. - - - "git init -q" makes the command quieter. - - - "git -p command" now has a cousin of opposite sex, "git --no-pager - command". - -* Updated behavior of existing commands. - - - "gitweb" can offer multiple snapshot formats. - - ***NOTE*** Unfortunately, this changes the format of the - $feature{snapshot}{default} entry in the per-site - configuration file 'gitweb_config.perl'. It used to be a - three-element tuple that describe a single format; with the - new configuration item format, you only have to say the name - of the format ('tgz', 'tbz2' or 'zip'). Please update the - your configuration file accordingly. - - - "git clone" uses -l (hardlink files under .git) by default when - cloning locally. - - - URL used for "git clone" and friends can specify nonstandard SSH port - by using ssh://host:port/path/to/repo syntax. - - - "git bundle create" can now create a bundle without negative refs, - i.e. "everything since the beginning up to certain points". - - - "git diff" (but not the plumbing level "git diff-tree") now - recursively descends into trees by default. - - - "git diff" does not show differences that come only from - stat-dirtiness in the form of "diff --git" header anymore. - It runs "update-index --refresh" silently as needed. - - - "git tag -l" used to match tags by globbing its parameter as if it - has wildcard '*' on both ends, which made "git tag -l gui" to match - tag 'gitgui-0.7.0'; this was very annoying. You now have to add - asterisk on the sides you want to wildcard yourself. - - - The editor to use with many interactive commands can be - overridden with GIT_EDITOR environment variable, or if it - does not exist, with core.editor configuration variable. As - before, if you have neither, environment variables VISUAL - and EDITOR are consulted in this order, and then finally we - fall back on "vi". - - - "git rm --cached" does not complain when removing a newly - added file from the index anymore. - - - Options to "git log" to affect how --grep/--author options look for - given strings now have shorter abbreviations. -i is for ignore case, - and -E is for extended regexp. - - - "git log" learned --log-size to show the number of bytes in - the log message part of the output to help qgit. - - - "git log --name-status" does not require you to give "-r" anymore. - As a general rule, Porcelain commands should recurse when showing - diff. - - - "git format-patch --root A" can be used to format everything - since the beginning up to A. This was supported with - "git format-patch --root A A" for a long time, but was not - properly documented. - - - "git svn dcommit" retains local merge information. - - - "git svnimport" allows an empty string to be specified as the - trunk/ directory. This is necessary to suck data from a SVN - repository that doe not have trunk/ branches/ and tags/ organization - at all. - - - "git config" to set values also honors type flags like --bool - and --int. - - - core.quotepath configuration can be used to make textual git - output to emit most of the characters in the path literally. - - - "git mergetool" chooses its backend more wisely, taking - notice of its environment such as use of X, Gnome/KDE, etc. - - - "gitweb" shows merge commits a lot nicer than before. The - default view uses more compact --cc format, while the UI - allows to choose normal diff with any parent. - - - snapshot files "gitweb" creates from a repository at - $path/$project/.git are more useful. We use $project part - in the filename, which we used to discard. - - - "git cvsimport" creates lightweight tags; there is no - interesting information we can record in an annotated tag, - and the handcrafted ones the old code created was not - properly formed anyway. - - - "git push" pretends that you immediately fetched back from - the remote by updating corresponding remote tracking - branches if you have any. - - - The diffstat given after a merge (or a pull) honors the - color.diff configuration. - - - "git commit --amend" is now compatible with various message source - options such as -m/-C/-c/-F. - - - "git apply --whitespace=strip" removes blank lines added at - the end of the file. - - - "git fetch" over git native protocols with "-v" option shows - connection status, and the IP address of the other end, to - help diagnosing problems. - - - We used to have core.legacyheaders configuration, when - set to false, allowed git to write loose objects in a format - that mimics the format used by objects stored in packs. It - turns out that this was not so useful. Although we will - continue to read objects written in that format, we do not - honor that configuration anymore and create loose objects in - the legacy/traditional format. - - - "--find-copies-harder" option to diff family can now be - spelled as "-C -C" for brevity. - - - "git mailsplit" (hence "git am") can read from Maildir - formatted mailboxes. - - - "git cvsserver" does not barf upon seeing "cvs login" - request. - - - "pack-objects" honors "delta" attribute set in - .gitattributes. It does not attempt to deltify blobs that - come from paths with delta attribute set to false. - - - "new-workdir" script (in contrib) can now be used with a - bare repository. - - - "git mergetool" learned to use gvimdiff. - - - "gitview" (in contrib) has a better blame interface. - - - "git log" and friends did not handle a commit log message - that is larger than 16kB; they do now. - - - "--pretty=oneline" output format for "git log" and friends - deals with "malformed" commit log messages that have more - than one lines in the first paragraph better. We used to - show the first line, cutting the title at mid-sentence; we - concatenate them into a single line and treat the result as - "oneline". - - - "git p4import" has been demoted to contrib status. For - a superior option, checkout the "git p4" front end to - "git fast-import" (also in contrib). The man page and p4 - rpm have been removed as well. - - - "git mailinfo" (hence "am") now tries to see if the message - is in utf-8 first, instead of assuming iso-8859-1, if - incoming e-mail does not say what encoding it is in. - -* Builds - - - old-style function definitions (most notably, a function - without parameter defined with "func()", not "func(void)") - have been eradicated. - - - "git tag" and "git verify-tag" have been rewritten in C. - -* Performance Tweaks - - - "git pack-objects" avoids re-deltification cost by caching - small enough delta results it creates while looking for the - best delta candidates. - - - "git pack-objects" learned a new heuristic to prefer delta - that is shallower in depth over the smallest delta - possible. This improves both overall packfile access - performance and packfile density. - - - diff-delta code that is used for packing has been improved - to work better on big files. - - - when there are more than one pack files in the repository, - the runtime used to try finding an object always from the - newest packfile; it now tries the same packfile as we found - the object requested the last time, which exploits the - locality of references. - - - verifying pack contents done by "git fsck --full" got boost - by carefully choosing the order to verify objects in them. - - - "git read-tree -m" to read into an already populated index - has been optimized vastly. The effect of this can be seen - when switching branches that have differences in only a - handful paths. - - - "git add paths..." and "git commit paths..." has also been - heavily optimized. - -Fixes since v1.5.2 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in v1.5.2 maintenance series are included in -this release, unless otherwise noted. - -* Bugfixes - - - "gitweb" had trouble handling non UTF-8 text with older - Encode.pm Perl module. - - - "git svn" misparsed the data from the commits in the repository when - the user had "color.diff = true" in the configuration.

Earlier, if multiple identical rename sources were - found in the preimage, the source used was picked pretty much at random. - - * Value "true" for color.diff and color.status configuration used to - mean "always" (even when the output is not going to a terminal). - This has been corrected to mean the same thing as "auto". - - * "git diff" Porcelain now respects diff.external configuration, which - is another way to specify GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF. - - * "git diff" can be told to use different prefixes other than - "a/" and "b/" e.g. "git diff --src-prefix=l/ --dst-prefix=k/". - - * "git diff" sometimes did not quote paths with funny - characters properly. - - * "git log" (and any revision traversal commands) misbehaved - when --diff-filter is given but was not asked to actually - produce diff. - - * HTTP proxy can be specified per remote repository using - remote.*.httpproxy configuration, or global http.proxy configuration - variable. - - * Various Perforce importer updates. - - * Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved. - - * Any command that wants to take a commit object name can now use - ":/string" syntax to name a commit. - - * "git reset" is now built-in and its output can be squelched with -q. - - * "git reset --hard" does not make any sense in a bare - repository, but did not error out; fixed. - - * "git send-email" can optionally talk over ssmtp and use SMTP-AUTH. - - * "git rebase" learned --whitespace option. - - * In "git rebase", when you decide not to replay a particular change - after the command stopped with a conflict, you can say "git rebase - --skip" without first running "git reset --hard", as the command now - runs it for you. - - * "git rebase --interactive" mode can now work on detached HEAD. - - * Other minor to serious bugs in "git rebase -i" have been fixed. - - * "git rebase" now detaches head during its operation, so after a - successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1} for - the current branch points at the commit before the rebase was - started. - - * "git rebase -i" also triggers rerere to help your repeated merges. - - * "git merge" can call the "post-merge" hook. - - * "git pack-objects" can optionally run deltification with multiple - threads. - - * "git archive" can optionally substitute keywords in files marked with - export-subst attribute. - - * "git cherry-pick" made a misguided attempt to repeat the original - command line in the generated log message, when told to cherry-pick a - commit by naming a tag that points at it. It does not anymore. - - * "git for-each-ref" learned %(xxxdate:<date-format>) syntax to show the - various date fields in different formats. - - * "git gc --auto" is a low-impact way to automatically run a variant of - "git repack" that does not lose unreferenced objects (read: safer - than the usual one) after the user accumulates too many loose - objects. - - * "git clean" has been rewritten in C. - - * You need to explicitly set clean.requireForce to "false" to allow - "git clean" without -f to do any damage (lack of the configuration - variable used to mean "do not require -f option to lose untracked - files", but we now use the safer default). - - * The kinds of whitespace errors "git diff" and "git apply" notice (and - fix) can be controlled via 'core.whitespace' configuration variable - and 'whitespace' attribute in .gitattributes file. - - * "git push" learned --dry-run option to show what would happen if a - push is run. - - * "git push" does not update a tracking ref on the local side when the - remote refused to update the corresponding ref. - - * "git push" learned --mirror option. This is to push the local refs - one-to-one to the remote, and deletes refs from the remote that do - not exist anymore in the repository on the pushing side. - - * "git push" can remove a corrupt ref at the remote site with the usual - ":ref" refspec. - - * "git remote" knows --mirror mode. This is to set up configuration to - push into a remote repository to store local branch heads to the same - branch on the remote side, and remove branch heads locally removed - from local repository at the same time. Suitable for pushing into a - back-up repository. - - * "git remote" learned "rm" subcommand. - - * "git cvsserver" can be run via "git shell". Also, "cvs" is - recognized as a synonym for "git cvsserver", so that CVS users - can be switched to git just by changing their login shell. - - * "git cvsserver" acts more like receive-pack by running post-receive - and post-update hooks. - - * "git am" and "git rebase" are far less verbose. - - * "git pull" learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying "git - merge". - - * "git pull --rebase" is a different way to integrate what you fetched - into your current branch. - - * "git fast-export" produces data-stream that can be fed to fast-import - to reproduce the history recorded in a git repository. - - * "git add -i" takes pathspecs to limit the set of files to work on. - - * "git add -p" is a short-hand to go directly to the selective patch - subcommand in the interactive command loop and to exit when done. - - * "git add -i" UI has been colorized. The interactive prompt - and menu can be colored by setting color.interactive - configuration. The diff output (including the hunk picker) - are colored with color.diff configuration. - - * "git commit --allow-empty" allows you to create a single-parent - commit that records the same tree as its parent, overriding the usual - safety valve. - - * "git commit --amend" can amend a merge that does not change the tree - from its first parent. - - * "git commit" used to unconditionally strip comment lines that - began with '#' and removed excess blank lines. This behavior has - been made configurable. - - * "git commit" has been rewritten in C. - - * "git stash random-text" does not create a new stash anymore. It was - a UI mistake. Use "git stash save random-text", or "git stash" - (without extra args) for that. - - * "git stash clear extra-text" does not clear the whole stash - anymore. It is tempting to expect "git stash clear stash@{2}" - to drop only a single named stash entry, and it is rude to - discard everything when that is asked (but not provided). - - * "git prune --expire <time>" can exempt young loose objects from - getting pruned. - - * "git branch --contains <commit>" can list branches that are - descendants of a given commit. - - * "git log" learned --early-output option to help interactive GUI - implementations. - - * "git bisect" learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits. - - * "git bisect visualize" learned a shorter synonym "git bisect view". - - * "git bisect visualize" runs "git log" in a non-windowed - environments. It also can be told what command to run (e.g. "git - bisect visualize tig"). - - * "git format-patch" learned "format.numbered" configuration variable - to automatically turn --numbered option on when more than one commits - are formatted. - - * "git ls-files" learned "--exclude-standard" to use the canned set of - exclude files. - - * "git tag -a -f existing" begins the editor session using the existing - annotation message. - - * "git tag -m one -m bar" (multiple -m options) behaves similarly to - "git commit"; the parameters to -m options are formatted as separate - paragraphs. - - * The format "git show" outputs an annotated tag has been updated to - include "Tagger: " and "Date: " lines from the tag itself. Strictly - speaking this is a backward incompatible change, but this is a - reasonable usability fix and people's scripts shouldn't have been - relying on the exact output from "git show" Porcelain anyway. - - * "git cvsimport" did not notice errors from underlying "cvsps" - and produced a corrupt import silently. - - * "git cvsexportcommit" learned -w option to specify and switch to the - CVS working directory. - - * "git checkout" from a subdirectory learned to use "../path" to allow - checking out a path outside the current directory without cd'ing up. - - * "git checkout" from and to detached HEAD leaves a bit more - information in the reflog. - - * "git send-email --dry-run" shows full headers for easier diagnosis. - - * "git merge-ours" is now built-in. - - * "git svn" learned "info" and "show-externals" subcommands. - - * "git svn" run from a subdirectory failed to read settings from the - .git/config. - - * "git svn" learned --use-log-author option, which picks up more - descriptive name from From: and Signed-off-by: lines in the commit - message. - - * "git svn" wasted way too much disk to record revision mappings - between svn and git; a new representation that is much more compact - for this information has been introduced to correct this. - - * "git svn" left temporary index files it used without cleaning them - up; this was corrected. - - * "git status" from a subdirectory now shows relative paths, which - makes copy-and-pasting for git-checkout/git-add/git-rm easier. The - traditional behavior to show the full path relative to the top of - the work tree can be had by setting status.relativepaths - configuration variable to false. - - * "git blame" kept text for each annotated revision in core needlessly; - this has been corrected. - - * "git shortlog" learned to default to HEAD when the standard input is - a terminal and the user did not give any revision parameter. - - * "git shortlog" learned "-e" option to show e-mail addresses as well as - authors' names. - - * "git help" learned "-w" option to show documentation in browsers. - - * In addition there are quite a few internal clean-ups. Notably: - - - many fork/exec have been replaced with run-command API, - brought from the msysgit effort. - - - introduction and more use of the option parser API. - - - enhancement and more use of the strbuf API. - - * Makefile tweaks to support HP-UX is in. - -Fixes since v1.5.3 ------------------- - -All of the fixes in v1.5.3 maintenance series are included in -this release, unless otherwise noted. - -These fixes are only in v1.5.4 and not backported to v1.5.3 maintenance -series. -

If you prefer a quicker check only on loose - objects (the old default), you can say "git fsck --no-full". This - has been supported by 1.5.4 and newer versions of git, so it is - safe to write it in your script even if you use slightly older git - on some of your machines. - -Preparing yourselves for compatibility issues in 1.7.0 ------------------------------------------------------- - -In git 1.7.0, which is planned to be the release after 1.6.6, there will -be a handful of behaviour changes that will break backward compatibility. - -These changes were discussed long time ago and existing behaviours have -been identified as more problematic to the userbase than keeping them for -the sake of backward compatibility. - -When necessary, a transition strategy for existing users has been designed -not to force them running around setting configuration variables and -updating their scripts in order to either keep the traditional behaviour -or adjust to the new behaviour, on the day their sysadmin decides to install -the new version of git. When we switched from "git-foo" to "git foo" in -1.6.0, even though the change had been advertised and the transition -guide had been provided for a very long time, the users procrastinated -during the entire transition period, and ended up panicking on the day -their sysadmins updated their git installation. We are trying to avoid -repeating that unpleasantness in the 1.7.0 release. - -For changes decided to be in 1.7.0, commands that will be affected -have been much louder to strongly discourage such procrastination, and -they continue to be in this release. If you have been using recent -versions of git, you would have seen warnings issued when you used -features whose behaviour will change, with a clear instruction on how -to keep the existing behaviour if you want to. You hopefully are -already well prepared. - -Of course, we have also been giving "this and that will change in -1.7.0; prepare yourselves" warnings in the release notes and -announcement messages for the past few releases. Let's see how well -users will fare this time. - - * "git push" into a branch that is currently checked out (i.e. pointed by - HEAD in a repository that is not bare) will be refused by default. - - Similarly, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch $killed - in a remote repository $there, when $killed branch is the current - branch pointed at by its HEAD, will be refused by default. - - Setting the configuration variables receive.denyCurrentBranch and - receive.denyDeleteCurrent to 'ignore' in the receiving repository - can be used to override these safety features. Versions of git - since 1.6.2 have issued a loud warning when you tried to do these - operations without setting the configuration, so repositories of - people who still need to be able to perform such a push should - already have been future proofed. - - Please refer to: - - http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare - https://lore.kernel.org/git/7vbptlsuyv.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org/ - - for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the - transition process that already took place so far. - - * "git send-email" will not make deep threads by default when sending a - patch series with more than two messages. All messages will be sent - as a reply to the first message, i.e. cover letter. Git 1.6.6 (this - release) will issue a warning about the upcoming default change, when - it uses the traditional "deep threading" behaviour as the built-in - default. To squelch the warning but still use the "deep threading" - behaviour, give --chain-reply-to option or set sendemail.chainreplyto - to true. - - It has been possible to configure send-email to send "shallow thread" - by setting sendemail.chainreplyto configuration variable to false. - The only thing 1.7.0 release will do is to change the default when - you haven't configured that variable. - - * "git status" will not be "git commit --dry-run". This change does not - affect you if you run the command without pathspec. - - Nobody sane found the current behaviour of "git status Makefile" useful - nor meaningful, and it confused users. "git commit --dry-run" has been - provided as a way to get the current behaviour of this command since - 1.6.5. - - * "git diff" traditionally treated various "ignore whitespace" options - only as a way to filter the patch output. "git diff --exit-code -b" - exited with non-zero status even if all changes were about changing the - amount of whitespace and nothing else. and "git diff -b" showed the - "diff --git" header line for such a change without patch text. - - In 1.7.0, the "ignore whitespaces" will affect the semantics of the - diff operation itself.

As this needs to actually resolve symbolic links for each - element on the GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, you can disable this - mechanism for some elements by listing them after an empty element - on the GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES. e.g. Setting /home/me::/home/him to - GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES makes Git resolve symbolic links in - /home/me when checking if the current directory is under /home/me, - but does not do so for /home/him. - (merge 7ec30aa mh/maint-ceil-absolute later to maint). diff --git a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.3.1.txt b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.3.1.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 986637b755..0000000000 --- a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.3.1.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,14 +0,0 @@ -Git v1.8.3.1 Release Notes -========================== - -Fixes since v1.8.3 ------------------- - - * When $HOME is misconfigured to point at an unreadable directory, we - used to complain and die.

This emulation has been removed and we use the native - lstat(2) emulation supplied by Cygwin now. - - * The function attributes extensions are used to catch mistakes in - use of our own variadic functions that use NULL sentinel at the end - (i.e. like execl(3)) and format strings (i.e. like printf(3)). - - * The code to allow configuration data to be read from in-tree blob - objects is in. This may help working in a bare repository and - submodule updates. - - * Fetching between repositories with many refs employed O(n^2) - algorithm to match up the common objects, which has been corrected. - - * The original way to specify remote repository using .git/branches/ - used to have a nifty feature. The code to support the feature was - still in a function but the caller was changed not to call it 5 - years ago, breaking that feature and leaving the supporting code - unreachable. The dead code has been removed. - - * "git pack-refs" that races with new ref creation or deletion have - been susceptible to lossage of refs under right conditions, which - has been tightened up. - - * We read loose and packed references in two steps, but after - deciding to read a loose ref but before actually opening it to read - it, another process racing with us can unlink it, which would cause - us to barf. The codepath has been updated to retry when such a - race is detected, instead of outright failing. - - * Uses of the platform fnmatch(3) function (many places in the code, - matching pathspec, .gitignore and .gitattributes to name a few) - have been replaced with wildmatch, allowing "foo/**/bar" that would - match foo/bar, foo/a/bar, foo/a/b/bar, etc. - - * Memory ownership and lifetime rules for what for-each-ref feeds to - its callbacks have been clarified (in short, "you do not own it, so - make a copy if you want to keep it"). - - * The revision traversal logic to improve culling of irrelevant - parents while traversing a mergy history has been updated. - - * Some leaks in unpack-trees (used in merge, cherry-pick and other - codepaths) have been plugged. - - * The codepath to read from marks files in fast-import/export did not - have to accept anything but 40-hex representation of the object - name. Further, fast-export did not need full in-core object - representation to have parsed wen reading from them. These - codepaths have been optimized by taking advantage of these access - patterns. - - * Object lookup logic, when the object hashtable starts to become - crowded, has been optimized. - - * When TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY setting is used, it was handled somewhat - inconsistently between the test framework and t/Makefile, and logic - to summarize the results looked at a wrong place. - - * "git clone" uses a lighter-weight implementation when making sure - that the history behind refs are complete. - - * Many warnings from sparse source checker in compat/ area has been - squelched. - - * The code to reading and updating packed-refs file has been updated, - correcting corner case bugs. - - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v1.8.3 ------------------- - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.8.3 in the maintenance -track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for -details). - - * Newer Net::SMTP::SSL module does not want the user programs to use - the default behaviour to let server certificate go without - verification, so by default enable the verification with a - mechanism to turn it off if needed. - (merge 35035bb rr/send-email-ssl-verify later to maint). - - * When "git" is spawned in such a way that any of the low 3 file - descriptors is closed, our first open() may yield file descriptor 2, - and writing error message to it would screw things up in a big way. - (merge a11c396 tr/protect-low-3-fds later to maint). - - * The mailmap mechanism unnecessarily downcased the e-mail addresses - in the output, and also ignored the human name when it is a single - character name. - (merge bd23794 jc/mailmap-case-insensitivity later to maint). - - * In two places we did not check return value (expected to be a file - descriptor) correctly. - (merge a77f106 tr/fd-gotcha-fixes later to maint). - - * Logic to auto-detect character encodings in the commit log message - did not reject overlong and invalid UTF-8 characters. - (merge 81050ac bc/commit-invalid-utf8 later to maint). - - * Pass port number as a separate argument when "send-email" initializes - Net::SMTP, instead of as a part of the hostname, i.e. host:port. - This allows GSSAPI codepath to match with the hostname given. - (merge 1a741bf bc/send-email-use-port-as-separate-param later to maint). - - * "git diff" refused to even show difference when core.safecrlf is - set to true (i.e. error out) and there are offending lines in the - working tree files. - (merge 5430bb2 jc/maint-diff-core-safecrlf later to maint). - - * A test that should have failed but didn't revealed a bug that needs - to be corrected. - (merge 94d75d1 jc/t1512-fix later to maint). - - * An overlong path to a .git directory may have overflown the - temporary path buffer used to create a name for lockfiles. - (merge 2fbd4f9 mh/maint-lockfile-overflow later to maint). - - * Invocations of "git checkout" used internally by "git rebase" were - counted as "checkout", and affected later "git checkout -" to the - the user to an unexpected place. - (merge 3bed291 rr/rebase-checkout-reflog later to maint). - - * The configuration variable column.ui was poorly documented. - (merge 5e62cc1 rr/column-doc later to maint). - - * "git name-rev --refs=tags/v*" were forbidden, which was a bit - inconvenient (you had to give a pattern to match refs fully, like - --refs=refs/tags/v*). - (merge 98c5c4a nk/name-rev-abbreviated-refs later to maint). - - * "git apply" parsed patches that add new files, generated by - programs other than Git, incorrectly. This is an old breakage in - v1.7.11 and will need to be merged down to the maintenance tracks. - - * Older cURL wanted piece of memory we call it with to be stable, but - we updated the auth material after handing it to a call. - - * "git pull" into nothing trashed "local changes" that were in the - index, and this avoids it. - - * Many "git submodule" operations do not work on a submodule at a - path whose name is not in ASCII. - - * "cherry-pick" had a small leak in an error codepath. - - * Logic used by git-send-email to suppress cc mishandled names like - "A U. Thor" <author@example.xz>, where the human readable part - needs to be quoted (the user input may not have the double quotes - around the name, and comparison was done between quoted and - unquoted strings). It also mishandled names that need RFC2047 - quoting. - - * Call to discard_cache/discard_index (used when we use different - contents of the index in-core, in many operations like commit, - apply, and merge) used to leak memory that held the array of index - entries, which has been plugged. - (merge a0fc4db rs/discard-index-discard-array later to maint). - - * "gitweb" forgot to clear a global variable $search_regexp upon each - request, mistakenly carrying over the previous search to a new one - when used as a persistent CGI. - - * The wildmatch engine did not honor WM_CASEFOLD option correctly. - - * "git log -c --follow $path" segfaulted upon hitting the commit that - renamed the $path being followed. - - * When a reflog notation is used for implicit "current branch", we - did not say which branch and worse said "branch ''". - - * "difftool --dir-diff" did not copy back changes made by the - end-user in the diff tool backend to the working tree in some - cases. - - * "git push $there HEAD:branch" did not resolve HEAD early enough, so - it was easy to flip it around while push is still going on and push - out a branch that the user did not originally intended when the - command was started. - - * The bash prompt code (in contrib/) displayed the name of the branch - being rebased when "rebase -i/-m/-p" modes are in use, but not the - plain vanilla "rebase". - - * Handling of negative exclude pattern for directories "!dir" was - broken in the update to v1.8.3. - - * zsh prompt script that borrowed from bash prompt script did not - work due to slight differences in array variable notation between - these two shells. - - * An entry for "file://" scheme in the enumeration of URL types Git - can take in the HTML documentation was made into a clickable link - by mistake. - - * "git push --[no-]verify" was not documented. - - * Stop installing the git-remote-testpy script that is only used for - testing. - - * "git commit --allow-empty-message -m ''" should not start an - editor. - - * "git merge @{-1}~22" was rewritten to "git merge frotz@{1}~22" - incorrectly when your previous branch was "frotz" (it should be - rewritten to "git merge frotz~22" instead). - - * "git diff -c -p" was not showing a deleted line from a hunk when - another hunk immediately begins where the earlier one ends. - - * "git log --ancestry-path A...B" did not work as expected, as it did - not pay attention to the fact that the merge base between A and B - was the bottom of the range being specified. - - * Mac OS X does not like to write(2) more than INT_MAX number of - bytes; work it around by chopping write(2) into smaller pieces. - - * Newer MacOS X encourages the programs to compile and link with - their CommonCrypto, not with OpenSSL. - - * "git clone foo/bar:baz" cannot be a request to clone from a remote - over git-over-ssh specified in the scp style. This case is now - detected and clones from a local repository at "foo/bar:baz". - - * When $HOME is misconfigured to point at an unreadable directory, we - used to complain and die. Loosen the check. - - * "git subtree" (in contrib/) had one codepath with loose error - checks to lose data at the remote side. - - * "git fetch" into a shallow repository from a repository that does - not know about the shallow boundary commits (e.g. a different fork - from the repository the current shallow repository was cloned from) - did not work correctly. - - * "git checkout foo" DWIMs the intended "upstream" and turns it into - "git checkout -t -b foo remotes/origin/foo".

In Git 2.0, the default will change to the "simple" -semantics, which pushes: - - - only the current branch to the branch with the same name, and only - when the current branch is set to integrate with that remote - branch, if you are pushing to the same remote as you fetch from; or - - - only the current branch to the branch with the same name, if you - are pushing to a remote that is not where you usually fetch from. - -Use the user preference configuration variable "push.default" to -change this. If you are an old-timer who is used to the "matching" -semantics, you can set the variable to "matching" to keep the -traditional behaviour. If you want to live in the future early, you -can set it to "simple" today without waiting for Git 2.0. - -When "git add -u" (and "git add -A") is run inside a subdirectory and -does not specify which paths to add on the command line, it -will operate on the entire tree in Git 2.0 for consistency -with "git commit -a" and other commands. There will be no -mechanism to make plain "git add -u" behave like "git add -u .". -Current users of "git add -u" (without a pathspec) should start -training their fingers to explicitly say "git add -u ." -before Git 2.0 comes. A warning is issued when these commands are -run without a pathspec and when you have local changes outside the -current directory, because the behaviour in Git 2.0 will be different -from today's version in such a situation. - -In Git 2.0, "git add <path>" will behave as "git add -A <path>", so -that "git add dir/" will notice paths you removed from the directory -and record the removal. Versions before Git 2.0, including this -release, will keep ignoring removals, but the users who rely on this -behaviour are encouraged to start using "git add --ignore-removal <path>" -now before 2.0 is released. - -The default prefix for "git svn" will change in Git 2.0. For a long -time, "git svn" created its remote-tracking branches directly under -refs/remotes, but it will place them under refs/remotes/origin/ unless -it is told otherwise with its --prefix option. - - -Updates since v1.8.5 --------------------- - -Foreign interfaces, subsystems and ports. - - * The HTTP transport, when talking GSS-Negotiate, uses "100 - Continue" response to avoid having to rewind and resend a large - payload, which may not be always doable. - - * Various bugfixes to remote-bzr and remote-hg (in contrib/). - - * The build procedure is aware of MirBSD now. - - * Various "git p4", "git svn" and "gitk" updates. - - -UI, Workflows & Features - - * Fetching from a shallowly-cloned repository used to be forbidden, - primarily because the codepaths involved were not carefully vetted - and we did not bother supporting such usage. This release attempts - to allow object transfer out of a shallowly-cloned repository in a - more controlled way (i.e. the receiver becomes a shallow repository - with a truncated history). - - * Just like we give a reasonable default for "less" via the LESS - environment variable, we now specify a reasonable default for "lv" - via the "LV" environment variable when spawning the pager. - - * Two-level configuration variable names in "branch.*" and "remote.*" - hierarchies, whose variables are predominantly three-level, were - not completed by hitting a <TAB> in bash and zsh completions. - - * Fetching a 'frotz' branch with "git fetch", while a 'frotz/nitfol' - remote-tracking branch from an earlier fetch was still there, would - error out, primarily because the command was not told that it is - allowed to lose any information on our side. "git fetch --prune" - now can be used to remove 'frotz/nitfol' to make room for fetching and - storing the 'frotz' remote-tracking branch. - - * "diff.orderfile=<file>" configuration variable can be used to - pretend as if the "-O<file>" option were given from the command - line of "git diff", etc. - - * The negative pathspec syntax allows "git log -- . ':!dir'" to tell - us "I am interested in everything but 'dir' directory". - - * "git difftool" shows how many different paths there are in total, - and how many of them have been shown so far, to indicate progress. - - * "git push origin master" used to push our 'master' branch to update - the 'master' branch at the 'origin' repository. This has been - enhanced to use the same ref mapping "git push origin" would use to - determine what ref at the 'origin' to be updated with our 'master'. - For example, with this configuration - - [remote "origin"] - push = refs/heads/*:refs/review/* - - that would cause "git push origin" to push out our local branches - to corresponding refs under refs/review/ hierarchy at 'origin', - "git push origin master" would update 'refs/review/master' over - there. Alternatively, if push.default is set to 'upstream' and our - 'master' is set to integrate with 'topic' from the 'origin' branch, - running "git push origin" while on our 'master' would update their - 'topic' branch, and running "git push origin master" while on any - of our branches does the same. - - * "gitweb" learned to treat ref hierarchies other than refs/heads as - if they are additional branch namespaces (e.g. refs/changes/ in - Gerrit). - - * "git for-each-ref --format=..." learned a few formatting directives; - e.g. "%(color:red)%(HEAD)%(color:reset) %(refname:short) %(subject)". - - * The command string given to "git submodule foreach" is passed - directly to the shell, without being eval'ed. This is a backward - incompatible change that may break existing users. - - * "git log" and friends learned the "--exclude=<glob>" option, to - allow people to say "list history of all branches except those that - match this pattern" with "git log --exclude='*/*' --branches". - - * "git rev-parse --parseopt" learned a new "--stuck-long" option to - help scripts parse options with an optional parameter. - - * The "--tags" option to "git fetch" no longer tells the command to - fetch _only_ the tags. It instead fetches tags _in addition to_ - what are fetched by the same command line without the option. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, etc. - - * When parsing a 40-hex string into the object name, the string is - checked to see if it can be interpreted as a ref so that a warning - can be given for ambiguity. The code kicked in even when the - core.warnambiguousrefs is set to false to squelch this warning, in - which case the cycles spent to look at the ref namespace were an - expensive no-op, as the result was discarded without being used. - - * The naming convention of the packfiles has been updated; it used to - be based on the enumeration of names of the objects that are - contained in the pack, but now it also depends on how the packed - result is represented--packing the same set of objects using - different settings (or delta order) would produce a pack with - different name. - - * "git diff --no-index" mode used to unnecessarily attempt to read - the index when there is one. - - * The deprecated parse-options macro OPT_BOOLEAN has been removed; - use OPT_BOOL or OPT_COUNTUP in new code. - - * A few duplicate implementations of prefix/suffix string comparison - functions have been unified to starts_with() and ends_with(). - - * The new PERLLIB_EXTRA makefile variable can be used to specify - additional directories Perl modules (e.g. the ones necessary to run - git-svn) are installed on the platform when building. - - * "git merge-base" learned the "--fork-point" mode, that implements - the same logic used in "git pull --rebase" to find a suitable fork - point out of the reflog entries for the remote-tracking branch the - work has been based on. "git rebase" has the same logic that can be - triggered with the "--fork-point" option. - - * A third-party "receive-pack" (the responder to "git push") can - advertise the "no-thin" capability to tell "git push" not to use - the thin-pack optimization.

It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone - programs (like test helpers).

When "file" was - created by renaming an existing file (but the change has not been - committed), this restriction was unnecessarily tight. - - * "git add -N dir/file && git write-tree" produced an incorrect tree - when there are other paths in the same directory that sorts after - "file". - - * "git fetch http://user:pass@host/repo..." scrubbed the userinfo - part, but "git push" didn't. - - * "git merge" with renormalization did not work well with - merge-recursive, due to "safer crlf" conversion kicking in when it - shouldn't. - (merge 1335d76 jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf later to maint). - - * The use of strbuf in "git rm" to build filename to remove was a bit - suboptimal, which has been fixed. - - * An age old bug that caused "git diff --ignore-space-at-eol" - misbehave has been fixed. - - * "git notes merge" had a code to see if a path exists (and fails if - it does) and then open the path for writing (when it doesn't). - Replace it with open with O_EXCL. - - * "git pack-objects" and "git index-pack" mostly operate with off_t - when talking about the offset of objects in a packfile, but there - were a handful of places that used "unsigned long" to hold that - value, leading to an unintended truncation. - - * Recent update to "git daemon" tries to enable the socket-level - KEEPALIVE, but when it is spawned via inetd, the standard input - file descriptor may not necessarily be connected to a socket. - Suppress an ENOTSOCK error from setsockopt(). - - * Recent FreeBSD stopped making perl available at /usr/bin/perl; - switch the default the built-in path to /usr/local/bin/perl on not - too ancient FreeBSD releases. - - * "git commit --help" said "--no-verify" is only about skipping the - pre-commit hook, and failed to say that it also skipped the - commit-msg hook. - - * "git merge" in Git v2.9 was taught to forbid merging an unrelated - lines of history by default, but that is exactly the kind of thing - the "--rejoin" mode of "git subtree" (in contrib/) wants to do. - "git subtree" has been taught to use the "--allow-unrelated-histories" - option to override the default. - - * The build procedure for "git persistent-https" helper (in contrib/) - has been updated so that it can be built with more recent versions - of Go. - - * There is an optimization used in "git diff $treeA $treeB" to borrow - an already checked-out copy in the working tree when it is known to - be the same as the blob being compared, expecting that open/mmap of - such a file is faster than reading it from the object store, which - involves inflating and applying delta. This however kicked in even - when the checked-out copy needs to go through the convert-to-git - conversion (including the clean filter), which defeats the whole - point of the optimization.

A - new type of "process" filter API has been added to allow the first - request to run the filter for a path to spawn a single process, and - all filtering is served by this single process for multiple - paths, reducing the process creation overhead. - - * The user always has to say "stash@{$N}" when naming a single - element in the default location of the stash, i.e. reflogs in - refs/stash.

Notable changes in this round includes that ce->sha1, - i.e. the object name recorded in the cache_entry, turns into an - object_id. - - * JGit can show a fake ref "capabilities^{}" to "git fetch" when it - does not advertise any refs, but "git fetch" was not prepared to - see such an advertisement. When the other side disconnects without - giving any ref advertisement, we used to say "there may not be a - repository at that URL", but we may have seen other advertisements - like "shallow" and ".have" in which case we definitely know that a - repository is there. The code to detect this case has also been - updated. - - * Some codepaths in "git pack-objects" were not ready to use an - existing pack bitmap; now they are and as a result they have - become faster. - - * The codepath in "git fsck" to detect malformed tree objects has - been updated not to die but keep going after detecting them. - - * We call "qsort(array, nelem, sizeof(array[0]), fn)", and most of - the time third parameter is redundant. A new QSORT() macro lets us - omit it. - - * "git pack-objects" in a repository with many packfiles used to - spend a lot of time looking for/at objects in them; the accesses to - the packfiles are now optimized by checking the most-recently-used - packfile first. - (merge c9af708b1a jk/pack-objects-optim-mru later to maint). - - * Codepaths involved in interacting alternate object stores have - been cleaned up. - - * In order for the receiving end of "git push" to inspect the - received history and decide to reject the push, the objects sent - from the sending end need to be made available to the hook and - the mechanism for the connectivity check, and this was done - traditionally by storing the objects in the receiving repository - and letting "git gc" expire them. Instead, store the newly - received objects in a temporary area, and make them available by - reusing the alternate object store mechanism to them only while we - decide if we accept the check, and once we decide, either migrate - them to the repository or purge them immediately. - - * The require_clean_work_tree() helper was recreated in C when "git - pull" was rewritten from shell; the helper is now made available to - other callers in preparation for upcoming "rebase -i" work. - - * "git upload-pack" had its code cleaned-up and performance improved - by reducing use of timestamp-ordered commit-list, which was - replaced with a priority queue. - - * "git diff --no-index" codepath has been updated not to try to peek - into a .git/ directory that happens to be under the current - directory, when we know we are operating outside any repository. - - * Update of the sequencer codebase to make it reusable to reimplement - "rebase -i" continues. - - * Git generally does not explicitly close file descriptors that were - open in the parent process when spawning a child process, but most - of the time the child does not want to access them. As Windows does - not allow removing or renaming a file that has a file descriptor - open, a slow-to-exit child can even break the parent process by - holding onto them. Use O_CLOEXEC flag to open files in various - codepaths. - - * Update "interpret-trailers" machinery and teach it that people in - the real world write all sorts of cruft in the "trailer" that was - originally designed to have the neat-o "Mail-Header: like thing" - and nothing else. - - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v2.10 ------------------ - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.9 in the maintenance -track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' -notes for details). - - * Clarify various ways to specify the "revision ranges" in the - documentation. - - * "diff-highlight" script (in contrib/) learned to work better with - "git log -p --graph" output. - - * The test framework left the number of tests and success/failure - count in the t/test-results directory, keyed by the name of the - test script plus the process ID. The latter however turned out not - to serve any useful purpose. The process ID part of the filename - has been removed. - - * Having a submodule whose ".git" repository is somehow corrupt - caused a few commands that recurse into submodules to loop forever. - - * "git symbolic-ref -d HEAD" happily removes the symbolic ref, but - the resulting repository becomes an invalid one. Teach the command - to forbid removal of HEAD. - - * A test spawned a short-lived background process, which sometimes - prevented the test directory from getting removed at the end of the - script on some platforms. - - * Update a few tests that used to use GIT_CURL_VERBOSE to use the - newer GIT_TRACE_CURL. - - * "git pack-objects --include-tag" was taught that when we know that - we are sending an object C, we want a tag B that directly points at - C but also a tag A that points at the tag B. We used to miss the - intermediate tag B in some cases. - - * Update Japanese translation for "git-gui". - - * "git fetch http::/site/path" did not die correctly and segfaulted - instead. - - * "git commit-tree" stopped reading commit.gpgsign configuration - variable that was meant for Porcelain "git commit" in Git 2.9; we - forgot to update "git gui" to look at the configuration to match - this change. - - * "git add --chmod={+,-}x" added recently lacked documentation, which has - been corrected. - - * "git log --cherry-pick" used to include merge commits as candidates - to be matched up with other commits, resulting a lot of wasted time. - The patch-id generation logic has been updated to ignore merges and - avoid the wastage. - - * The http transport (with curl-multi option, which is the default - these days) failed to remove curl-easy handle from a curlm session, - which led to unnecessary API failures. - - * There were numerous corner cases in which the configuration files - are read and used or not read at all depending on the directory a - Git command was run, leading to inconsistent behaviour. The code - to set-up repository access at the beginning of a Git process has - been updated to fix them. - (merge 4d0efa1 jk/setup-sequence-update later to maint). - - * "git diff -W" output needs to extend the context backward to - include the header line of the current function and also forward to - include the body of the entire current function up to the header - line of the next one. This process may have to merge two adjacent - hunks, but the code forgot to do so in some cases. - - * Performance tests done via "t/perf" did not use the right - build configuration if the user relied on autoconf generated - configuration. - - * "git format-patch --base=..." feature that was recently added - showed the base commit information after the "-- " e-mail signature - line, which turned out to be inconvenient. The base information - has been moved above the signature line. - - * More i18n. - - * Even when "git pull --rebase=preserve" (and the underlying "git - rebase --preserve") can complete without creating any new commits - (i.e. fast-forwards), it still insisted on having usable ident - information (read: user.email is set correctly), which was less - than nice. As the underlying commands used inside "git rebase" - would fail with a more meaningful error message and advice text - when the bogus ident matters, this extra check was removed. - - * "git gc --aggressive" used to limit the delta-chain length to 250, - which is way too deep for gaining additional space savings and is - detrimental for runtime performance. The limit has been reduced to - 50. - - * Documentation for individual configuration variables to control use - of color (like `color.grep`) said that their default value is - 'false', instead of saying their default is taken from `color.ui`. - When we updated the default value for color.ui from 'false' to - 'auto' quite a while ago, all of them broke. This has been - corrected. - - * The pretty-format specifier "%C(auto)" used by the "log" family of - commands to enable coloring of the output is taught to also issue a - color-reset sequence to the output. - - * A shell script example in check-ref-format documentation has been - fixed. - - * "git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation - rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow - checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a - file 'foo' in the working tree without having to disambiguate. - This was poorly documented and the check was incorrect when the - command was run from a subdirectory. - - * Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was - mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read - beyond the end of the mapped region. This was fixed by introducing - a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND - extension. - - * The procedure to build Git on Mac OS X for Travis CI hardcoded the - internal directory structure we assumed HomeBrew uses, which was a - no-no. The procedure has been updated to ask HomeBrew things we - need to know to fix this. - - * When "git rebase -i" is given a broken instruction, it told the - user to fix it with "--edit-todo", but didn't say what the step - after that was (i.e. "--continue"). - - * Documentation around tools to import from CVS was fairly outdated. - - * "git clone --recurse-submodules" lost the progress eye-candy in - a recent update, which has been corrected. - - * A low-level function verify_packfile() was meant to show errors - that were detected without dying itself, but under some conditions - it didn't and died instead, which has been fixed. - - * When "git fetch" tries to find where the history of the repository - it runs in has diverged from what the other side has, it has a - mechanism to avoid digging too deep into irrelevant side branches. - This however did not work well over the "smart-http" transport due - to a design bug, which has been fixed. - - * In the codepath that comes up with the hostname to be used in an - e-mail when the user didn't tell us, we looked at the ai_canonname - field in struct addrinfo without making sure it is not NULL first. - - * "git worktree", even though it used the default_abbrev setting that - ought to be affected by the core.abbrev configuration variable, ignored - the variable setting. The command has been taught to read the - default set of configuration variables to correct this. - - * "git init" tried to record core.worktree in the repository's - 'config' file when the GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable was set and - it was different from where GIT_DIR appears as ".git" at its top, - but the logic was faulty when .git is a "gitdir:" file that points - at the real place, causing trouble in working trees that are - managed by "git worktree". This has been corrected. - - * Codepaths that read from an on-disk loose object were too loose in - validating that they are reading a proper object file and - sometimes read past the data they read from the disk, which has - been corrected. H/t to Gustavo Grieco for reporting. - - * The original command line syntax for "git merge", which was "git - merge <msg> HEAD <parent>...", has been deprecated for quite some - time, and "git gui" was the last in-tree user of the syntax. This - is finally fixed, so that we can move forward with the deprecation. - - * An author name that has a backslash-quoted double quote in the - human readable part ("My \"double quoted\" name"), was not unquoted - correctly while applying a patch from a piece of e-mail. - - * Doc update to clarify what "log -3 --reverse" does. - - * Almost everybody uses DEFAULT_ABBREV to refer to the default - setting for the abbreviation, but "git blame" peeked into - underlying variable bypassing the macro for no good reason. - - * The "graph" API used in "git log --graph" miscounted the number of - output columns consumed so far when drawing a padding line, which - has been fixed; this did not affect any existing code as nobody - tried to write anything after the padding on such a line, though. - - * The code that parses the format parameter of the for-each-ref command - has seen a micro-optimization. - - * When we started to use cURL to talk to an imap server, we forgot to explicitly add - imap(s):// before the destination. To some folks, that didn't work - and the library tried to make HTTP(s) requests instead. - - * The ./configure script generated from configure.ac was taught how - to detect support of SSL by libcurl better. - - * The command-line completion script (in contrib/) learned to - complete "git cmd ^mas<HT>" to complete the negative end of - reference to "git cmd ^master". - (merge 49416ad22a cp/completion-negative-refs later to maint). - - * The existing "git fetch --depth=<n>" option was hard to use - correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone - deeper. A new option, "--deepen=<n>", has been added to make this - easier to use. "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=<date>" - and "--shallow-exclude=<tag>" options to make it easier to specify - "I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and - "Give me only the history since that version". - (merge cccf74e2da nd/shallow-deepen later to maint). - - * "git blame --reverse OLD path" is now DWIMmed to show how lines - in path in an old revision OLD have survived up to the current - commit. - (merge e1d09701a4 jc/blame-reverse later to maint). - - * The http.emptyauth configuration variable is a way to allow an empty username to - pass when attempting to authenticate using mechanisms like - Kerberos. We took an unspecified (NULL) username and sent ":" - (i.e. no username, no password) to CURLOPT_USERPWD, but did not do - the same when the username is explicitly set to an empty string. - - * "git clone" of a local repository can be done at the filesystem - level, but the codepath did not check errors while copying and - adjusting the file that lists alternate object stores. - - * Documentation for "git commit" was updated to clarify that "commit - -p <paths>" adds to the current contents of the index to come up - with what to commit. - - * A stray symbolic link in the $GIT_DIR/refs/ directory could make name - resolution loop forever, which has been corrected. - - * The "submodule.<name>.path" stored in .gitmodules is never copied - to .git/config and such a key in .git/config has no meaning, but - the documentation described it next to submodule.<name>.url - as if both belong to .git/config. This has been fixed. - - * In a worktree created via "git - worktree", "git checkout" attempts to protect users from confusion - by refusing to check out a branch that is already checked out in - another worktree. However, this also prevented checking out a - branch which is designated as the primary branch of a bare - repository, in a worktree that is connected to the bare - repository. The check has been corrected to allow it. - - * "git rebase" immediately after "git clone" failed to find the fork - point from the upstream. - - * When fetching from a remote that has many tags that are irrelevant - to branches we are following, we used to waste way too many cycles - checking if the object pointed at by a tag (that we are not - going to fetch!) exists in our repository too carefully. - - * Protect our code from over-eager compilers. - - * Recent git allows submodule.<name>.branch to use a special token - "." instead of the branch name; the documentation has been updated - to describe it. - - * "git send-email" attempts to pick up valid e-mails from the - trailers, but people in the real world write non-addresses there, like - "Cc: Stable <add@re.ss> # 4.8+", which broke the output depending - on the availability and vintage of the Mail::Address perl module. - (merge dcfafc5214 mm/send-email-cc-cruft-after-address later to maint). - - * The Travis CI configuration we ship ran the tests with the --verbose - option but this risks non-TAP output that happens to be "ok" to be - misinterpreted as TAP signalling a test that passed. This resulted - in unnecessary failures. This has been corrected by introducing a - new mode to run our tests in the test harness to send the verbose - output separately to the log file. - - * Some AsciiDoc formatters mishandle a displayed illustration with - tabs in it. Adjust a few of them in merge-base documentation to - work around them. - - * Fixed a minor regression in "git submodule" that was introduced - when more helper functions were reimplemented in C. - (merge 77b63ac31e sb/submodule-ignore-trailing-slash later to maint). - - * The code that we have used for the past 10+ years to cycle - 4-element ring buffers turns out to be not quite portable in - theoretical world. - (merge bb84735c80 rs/ring-buffer-wraparound later to maint). - - * "git daemon" used fixed-length buffers to turn URLs to the - repository the client asked for into the server side directory - paths, using snprintf() to avoid overflowing these buffers, but - allowed possibly truncated paths to the directory. This has been - tightened to reject such a request that causes an overlong path to be - served. - (merge 6bdb0083be jk/daemon-path-ok-check-truncation later to maint). - - * Recent update to git-sh-setup (a library of shell functions that - are used by our in-tree scripted Porcelain commands) included - another shell library git-sh-i18n without specifying where it is, - relying on the $PATH. This has been fixed to be more explicit by - prefixing with $(git --exec-path) output. - (merge 1073094f30 ak/sh-setup-dot-source-i18n-fix later to maint). - - * Fix for a racy false-positive test failure. - (merge fdf4f6c79b as/merge-attr-sleep later to maint). - - * Portability update and workaround for builds on recent Mac OS X. - (merge a296bc0132 ls/macos-update later to maint). - - * Using a %(HEAD) placeholder in "for-each-ref --format=" option - caused the command to segfault when on an unborn branch. - (merge 84679d470d jc/for-each-ref-head-segfault-fix later to maint). - - * "git rebase -i" did not work well with the core.commentchar - configuration variable for two reasons, both of which have been - fixed. - (merge 882cd23777 js/rebase-i-commentchar-fix later to maint). - - * Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups. - (merge 5c238e29a8 jk/common-main later to maint). - (merge 5a5749e45b ak/pre-receive-hook-template-modefix later to maint). - (merge 6d834ac8f1 jk/rebase-config-insn-fmt-docfix later to maint). - (merge de9f7fa3b0 rs/commit-pptr-simplify later to maint). - (merge 4259d693fc sc/fmt-merge-msg-doc-markup-fix later to maint). - (merge 28fab7b23d nd/test-helpers later to maint). - (merge c2bb0c1d1e rs/cocci later to maint). - (merge 3285b7badb ps/common-info-doc later to maint). - (merge 2b090822e8 nd/worktree-lock later to maint). - (merge 4bd488ea7c jk/create-branch-remove-unused-param later to maint). - (merge 974e0044d6 tk/diffcore-delta-remove-unused later to maint). diff --git a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.11.1.txt b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.11.1.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 7d35cf186d..0000000000 --- a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.11.1.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,168 +0,0 @@ -Git v2.11.1 Release Notes -========================= - -Fixes since v2.11 ------------------ - - * The default Travis-CI configuration specifies newer P4 and GitLFS. - - * The character width table has been updated to match Unicode 9.0 - - * Update the isatty() emulation for Windows by updating the previous - hack that depended on internals of (older) MSVC runtime. - - * "git rev-parse --symbolic" failed with a more recent notation like - "HEAD^-1" and "HEAD^!". - - * An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used - to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a - submodule directory there, which has been fixed.. - - * The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the - superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed - out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small - project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable - number of refs. - - * "git push --dry-run --recurse-submodule=on-demand" wasn't - "--dry-run" in the submodules. - - * The output from "git worktree list" was made in readdir() order, - and was unstable. - - * mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode configuration variable did not apply - to built-in tools, but now it does. - - * "git p4" LFS support was broken when LFS stores an empty blob. - - * Fix a corner case in merge-recursive regression that crept in - during 2.10 development cycle. - - * Update the error messages from the dumb-http client when it fails - to obtain loose objects;

Do so. - - * "git diff" learned diff.interHunkContext configuration variable - that gives the default value for its --inter-hunk-context option. - - * The prereleaseSuffix feature of version comparison that is used in - "git tag -l" did not correctly when two or more prereleases for the - same release were present (e.g. when 2.0, 2.0-beta1, and 2.0-beta2 - are there and the code needs to compare 2.0-beta1 and 2.0-beta2). - - * "git submodule push" learned "--recurse-submodules=only option to - push submodules out without pushing the top-level superproject. - - * "git tag" and "git verify-tag" learned to put GPG verification - status in their "--format=<placeholders>" output format. - - * An ancient repository conversion tool left in contrib/ has been - removed. - - * "git show-ref HEAD" used with "--verify" because the user is not - interested in seeing refs/remotes/origin/HEAD, and used with - "--head" because the user does not want HEAD to be filtered out, - i.e. "git show-ref --head --verify HEAD", did not work as expected. - - * "git submodule add" used to be confused and refused to add a - locally created repository; users can now use "--force" option - to add them. - (merge 619acfc78c sb/submodule-add-force later to maint). - - * Some people feel the default set of colors used by "git log --graph" - rather limiting. A mechanism to customize the set of colors has - been introduced. - - * "git read-tree" and its underlying unpack_trees() machinery learned - to report problematic paths prefixed with the --super-prefix option. - - * When a submodule "A", which has another submodule "B" nested within - it, is "absorbed" into the top-level superproject, the inner - submodule "B" used to be left in a strange state. The logic to - adjust the .git pointers in these submodules has been corrected. - - * The user can specify a custom update method that is run when - "submodule update" updates an already checked out submodule. This - was ignored when checking the submodule out for the first time and - we instead always just checked out the commit that is bound to the - path in the superproject's index. - - * The command line completion (in contrib/) learned that - "git diff --submodule=" can take "diff" as a recently added option. - - * The "core.logAllRefUpdates" that used to be boolean has been - enhanced to take 'always' as well, to record ref updates to refs - other than the ones that are expected to be updated (i.e. branches, - remote-tracking branches and notes). - - * Comes with more command line completion (in contrib/) for recently - introduced options. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. - - * Commands that operate on a log message and add lines to the trailer - blocks, such as "format-patch -s", "cherry-pick (-x|-s)", and - "commit -s", have been taught to use the logic of and share the - code with "git interpret-trailer". - - * The default Travis-CI configuration specifies newer P4 and GitLFS. - - * The "fast hash" that had disastrous performance issues in some - corner cases has been retired from the internal diff. - - * The character width table has been updated to match Unicode 9.0 - - * Update the procedure to generate "tags" for developer support. - - * The codeflow of setting NOATIME and CLOEXEC on file descriptors Git - opens has been simplified. - - * "git diff" and its family had two experimental heuristics to shift - the contents of a hunk to make the patch easier to read. One of - them turns out to be better than the other, so leave only the - "--indent-heuristic" option and remove the other one. - - * A new submodule helper "git submodule embedgitdirs" to make it - easier to move embedded .git/ directory for submodules in a - superproject to .git/modules/ (and point the latter with the former - that is turned into a "gitdir:" file) has been added. - - * "git push \\server\share\dir" has recently regressed and then - fixed. A test has retroactively been added for this breakage. - - * Build updates for Cygwin. - - * The implementation of "real_path()" was to go there with chdir(2) - and call getcwd(3), but this obviously wouldn't be usable in a - threaded environment. Rewrite it to manually resolve relative - paths including symbolic links in path components. - - * Adjust documentation to help AsciiDoctor render better while not - breaking the rendering done by AsciiDoc. - - * The sequencer machinery has been further enhanced so that a later - set of patches can start using it to reimplement "rebase -i". - - * Update the definition of the MacOSX test environment used by - TravisCI. - - * Rewrite a scripted porcelain "git difftool" in C. - - * "make -C t failed" will now run only the tests that failed in the - previous run. This is usable only when prove is not use, and gives - a useless error message when run after "make clean", but otherwise - is serviceable. - - * "uchar [40]" to "struct object_id" conversion continues. - - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - -Fixes since v2.10 ------------------ - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.9 in the maintenance -track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' -notes for details). - - * We often decide if a session is interactive by checking if the - standard I/O streams are connected to a TTY, but isatty() that - comes with Windows incorrectly returned true if it is used on NUL - (i.e. an equivalent to /dev/null). This has been fixed. - - * "git svn" did not work well with path components that are "0", and - some configuration variable it uses were not documented. - - * "git rev-parse --symbolic" failed with a more recent notation like - "HEAD^-1" and "HEAD^!". - - * An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used - to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a - submodule directory there, which has been fixed.. - - * The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the - superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed - out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small - project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable - number of refs. - - * "git push --dry-run --recurse-submodule=on-demand" wasn't - "--dry-run" in the submodules. - - * The output from "git worktree list" was made in readdir() order, - and was unstable. - - * mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode configuration variable did not apply - to built-in tools, but now it does. - - * "git p4" LFS support was broken when LFS stores an empty blob. - - * A corner case in merge-recursive regression that crept in - during 2.10 development cycle has been fixed. - - * Transport with dumb http can be fooled into following foreign URLs - that the end user does not intend to, especially with the server - side redirects and http-alternates mechanism, which can lead to - security issues. Tighten the redirection and make it more obvious - to the end user when it happens. - - * Update the error messages from the dumb-http client when it fails - to obtain loose objects; we used to give sensible error message - only upon 404 but we now forbid unexpected redirects that needs to - be reported with something sensible. - - * When diff.renames configuration is on (and with Git 2.9 and later, - it is enabled by default, which made it worse), "git stash" - misbehaved if a file is removed and another file with a very - similar content is added. - - * "git diff --no-index" did not take "--no-abbrev" option. - - * "git difftool --dir-diff" had a minor regression when started from - a subdirectory, which has been fixed. - - * "git commit --allow-empty --only" (no pathspec) with dirty index - ought to be an acceptable way to create a new commit that does not - change any paths, but it was forbidden, perhaps because nobody - needed it so far. - - * Git 2.11 had a minor regression in "merge --ff-only" that competed - with another process that simultaneously attempted to update the - index. We used to explain what went wrong with an error message, - but the new code silently failed. The error message has been - resurrected. - - * A pathname that begins with "//" or "\\" on Windows is special but - path normalization logic was unaware of it. - - * "git pull --rebase", when there is no new commits on our side since - we forked from the upstream, should be able to fast-forward without - invoking "git rebase", but it didn't. - - * The way to specify hotkeys to "xxdiff" that is used by "git - mergetool" has been modernized to match recent versions of xxdiff. - - * Unlike "git am --abort", "git cherry-pick --abort" moved HEAD back - to where cherry-pick started while picking multiple changes, when - the cherry-pick stopped to ask for help from the user, and the user - did "git reset --hard" to a different commit in order to re-attempt - the operation. - - * Code cleanup in shallow boundary computation. - - * A recent update to receive-pack to make it easier to drop garbage - objects made it clear that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES cannot - have a pathname with a colon in it (no surprise!), and this in turn - made it impossible to push into a repository at such a path. This - has been fixed by introducing a quoting mechanism used when - appending such a path to the colon-separated list. - - * The function usage_msg_opt() has been updated to say "fatal:" - before the custom message programs give, when they want to die - with a message about wrong command line options followed by the - standard usage string. - - * "git index-pack --stdin" needs an access to an existing repository, - but "git index-pack file.pack" to generate an .idx file that - corresponds to a packfile does not. - - * Fix for NDEBUG builds. - - * A lazy "git push" without refspec did not internally use a fully - specified refspec to perform 'current', 'simple', or 'upstream' - push, causing unnecessary "ambiguous ref" errors. - - * "git p4" misbehaved when swapping a directory and a symbolic link. - - * Even though an fix was attempted in Git 2.9.3 days, but running - "git difftool --dir-diff" from a subdirectory never worked. This - has been fixed. - - * "git p4" that tracks multiple p4 paths imported a single changelist - that touches files in these multiple paths as one commit, followed - by many empty commits. This has been fixed. - - * A potential but unlikely buffer overflow in Windows port has been - fixed. - - * When the http server gives an incomplete response to a smart-http - rpc call, it could lead to client waiting for a full response that - will never come. Teach the client side to notice this condition - and abort the transfer. - - * Compression setting for producing packfiles were spread across - three codepaths, one of which did not honor any configuration. - Unify these so that all of them honor core.compression and - pack.compression variables the same way. - - * "git fast-import" sometimes mishandled while rebalancing notes - tree, which has been fixed. - - * Recent update to the default abbreviation length that auto-scales - lacked documentation update, which has been corrected. - - * Leakage of lockfiles in the config subsystem has been fixed. - - * It is natural that "git gc --auto" may not attempt to pack - everything into a single pack, and there is no point in warning - when the user has configured the system to use the pack bitmap, - leading to disabling further "gc". - - * "git archive" did not read the standard configuration files, and - failed to notice a file that is marked as binary via the userdiff - driver configuration. - - * "git blame --porcelain" misidentified the "previous" <commit, path> - pair (aka "source") when contents came from two or more files. - - * "git rebase -i" with a recent update started showing an incorrect - count when squashing more than 10 commits. - - * "git <cmd> @{push}" on a detached HEAD used to segfault; it has - been corrected to error out with a message. - - * Running "git add a/b" when "a" is a submodule correctly errored - out, but without a meaningful error message. - (merge 2d81c48fa7 sb/pathspec-errors later to maint). - - * Typing ^C to pager, which usually does not kill it, killed Git and - took the pager down as a collateral damage in certain process-tree - structure. This has been fixed. - - * "git mergetool" without any pathspec on the command line that is - run from a subdirectory became no-op in Git v2.11 by mistake, which - has been fixed. - - * Retire long unused/unmaintained gitview from the contrib/ area. - (merge 3120925c25 sb/remove-gitview later to maint). - - * Tighten a test to avoid mistaking an extended ERE regexp engine as - a PRE regexp engine. - - * An error message with an ASCII control character like '\r' in it - can alter the message to hide its early part, which is problematic - when a remote side gives such an error message that the local side - will relay with a "remote: " prefix. - (merge f290089879 jk/vreport-sanitize later to maint). - - * "git fsck" inspects loose objects more carefully now. - (merge cce044df7f jk/loose-object-fsck later to maint). - - * A crashing bug introduced in v2.11 timeframe has been found (it is - triggerable only in fast-import) and fixed. - (merge abd5a00268 jk/clear-delta-base-cache-fix later to maint). - - * With an anticipatory tweak for remotes defined in ~/.gitconfig - (e.g. "remote.origin.prune" set to true, even though there may or - may not actually be "origin" remote defined in a particular Git - repository), "git remote rename" and other commands misinterpreted - and behaved as if such a non-existing remote actually existed. - (merge e459b073fb js/remote-rename-with-half-configured-remote later to maint). - - * A few codepaths had to rely on a global variable when sorting - elements of an array because sort(3) API does not allow extra data - to be passed to the comparison function. Use qsort_s() when - natively available, and a fallback implementation of it when not, - to eliminate the need, which is a prerequisite for making the - codepath reentrant. - - * "git fsck --connectivity-check" was not working at all. - (merge a2b22854bd jk/fsck-connectivity-check-fix later to maint). - - * After starting "git rebase -i", which first opens the user's editor - to edit the series of patches to apply, but before saving the - contents of that file, "git status" failed to show the current - state (i.e. you are in an interactive rebase session, but you have - applied no steps yet) correctly. - (merge df9ded4984 js/status-pre-rebase-i later to maint). - - * Test tweak for FreeBSD where /usr/bin/unzip is unsuitable to run - our tests but /usr/local/bin/unzip is usable. - (merge d98b2c5fce js/unzip-in-usr-bin-workaround later to maint). - - * "git p4" did not work well with multiple git-p4.mapUser entries on - Windows. - (merge c3c2b05776 gv/mingw-p4-mapuser later to maint). - - * "git help" enumerates executable files in $PATH; the implementation - of "is this file executable?" on Windows has been optimized. - (merge c755015f79 hv/mingw-help-is-executable later to maint). - - * Test tweaks for those who have default ACL in their git source tree - that interfere with the umask test. - (merge d549d21307 mm/reset-facl-before-umask-test later to maint). - - * Names of the various hook scripts must be spelled exactly, but on - Windows, an .exe binary must be named with .exe suffix; notice - $GIT_DIR/hooks/<hookname>.exe as a valid <hookname> hook. - (merge 235be51fbe js/mingw-hooks-with-exe-suffix later to maint). - - * Asciidoctor, an alternative reimplementation of AsciiDoc, still - needs some changes to work with documents meant to be formatted - with AsciiDoc. "make USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=YesPlease" to use it out of - the box to document our pages is getting closer to reality. - - * Correct command line completion (in contrib/) on "git svn" - (merge 2cbad17642 ew/complete-svn-authorship-options later to maint). - - * Incorrect usage help message for "git worktree prune" has been fixed. - (merge 2488dcab22 ps/worktree-prune-help-fix later to maint). - - * Adjust a perf test to new world order where commands that do - require a repository are really strict about having a repository. - (merge c86000c1a7 rs/p5302-create-repositories-before-tests later to maint). - - * "git log --graph" did not work well with "--name-only", even though - other forms of "diff" output were handled correctly. - (merge f5022b5fed jk/log-graph-name-only later to maint). - - * The push-options given via the "--push-options" option were not - passed through to external remote helpers such as "smart HTTP" that - are invoked via the transport helper. - - * The documentation explained what "git stash" does to the working - tree (after stashing away the local changes) in terms of "reset - --hard", which was exposing an unnecessary implementation detail. - (merge 20a7e06172 tg/stash-doc-cleanup later to maint). - - * When "git p4" imports changelist that removes paths, it failed to - convert pathnames when the p4 used encoding different from the one - used on the Git side. This has been corrected. - (merge a8b05162e8 ls/p4-path-encoding later to maint). - - * A new coccinelle rule that catches a check of !pointer before the - pointer is free(3)d, which most likely is a bug. - (merge ec6cd14c7a rs/cocci-check-free-only-null later to maint). - - * "ls-files" run with pathspec has been micro-optimized to avoid - having to memmove(3) unnecessary bytes. - (merge 96f6d3f61a rs/ls-files-partial-optim later to maint). - - * A hotfix for a topic already in 'master'. - (merge a4d92d579f js/mingw-isatty later to maint). - - * Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups. - (merge f2627d9b19 sb/submodule-config-cleanup later to maint). - (merge 384f1a167b sb/unpack-trees-cleanup later to maint). - (merge 874444b704 rh/diff-orderfile-doc later to maint). - (merge eafd5d9483 cw/doc-sign-off later to maint). - (merge 0aaad415bc rs/absolute-pathdup later to maint). - (merge 4432dd6b5b rs/receive-pack-cleanup later to maint). - (merge 540a398e9c sg/mailmap-self later to maint). - (merge 209df269a6 nd/rev-list-all-includes-HEAD-doc later to maint). - (merge 941b9c5270 sb/doc-unify-bottom later to maint). - (merge 2aaf37b62c jk/doc-remote-helpers-markup-fix later to maint). - (merge e91461b332 jk/doc-submodule-markup-fix later to maint). - (merge 8ab9740d9f dp/submodule-doc-markup-fix later to maint). - (merge 0838cbc22f jk/tempfile-ferror-fclose-confusion later to maint). - (merge 115a40add6 dr/doc-check-ref-format-normalize later to maint). - (merge 133f0a299d gp/document-dotfiles-in-templates-are-not-copied later to maint). - (merge 2b35a9f4c7 bc/blame-doc-fix later to maint). - (merge 7e82388024 ps/doc-gc-aggressive-depth-update later to maint). - (merge 9993a7c5f1 bc/worktree-doc-fix-detached later to maint). - (merge e519eccdf4 rt/align-add-i-help-text later to maint). diff --git a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.12.1.txt b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.12.1.txt deleted file mode 100644 index a74f7db747..0000000000 --- a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.12.1.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,41 +0,0 @@ -Git v2.12.1 Release Notes -========================= - -Fixes since v2.12 ------------------ - - * Reduce authentication round-trip over HTTP when the server supports - just a single authentication method.

A corner case that - happens to work right now may be broken by a call to die("BUG"). - We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there - might still be cases that need to be addressed--bug reports are - greatly appreciated. - - -Updates since v2.12 -------------------- - -UI, Workflows & Features - - * "git describe" and "git name-rev" have been taught to take more - than one refname patterns to restrict the set of refs to base their - naming output on, and also learned to take negative patterns to - name refs not to be used for naming via their "--exclude" option. - - * Deletion of a branch "foo/bar" could remove .git/refs/heads/foo - once there no longer is any other branch whose name begins with - "foo/", but we didn't do so so far. Now we do. - - * When "git merge" detects a path that is renamed in one history - while the other history deleted (or modified) it, it now reports - both paths to help the user understand what is going on in the two - histories being merged. - - * The <url> part in "http.<url>.<variable>" configuration variable - can now be spelled with '*' that serves as wildcard. - E.g. "http.https://*.example.com.proxy" can be used to specify the - proxy used for https://a.example.com, https://b.example.com, etc., - i.e. any host in the example.com domain. - - * "git tag" did not leave useful message when adding a new entry to - reflog; this was left unnoticed for a long time because refs/tags/* - doesn't keep reflog by default. - - * The "negative" pathspec feature was somewhat more cumbersome to use - than necessary in that its short-hand used "!" which needed to be - escaped from shells, and it required "exclude from what?" specified. - - * The command line options for ssh invocation needs to be tweaked for - some implementations of SSH (e.g. PuTTY plink wants "-P <port>" - while OpenSSH wants "-p <port>" to specify port to connect to), and - the variant was guessed when GIT_SSH environment variable is used - to specify it. The logic to guess now applies to the command - specified by the newer GIT_SSH_COMMAND and also core.sshcommand - configuration variable, and comes with an escape hatch for users to - deal with misdetected cases. - - * The "--git-path", "--git-common-dir", and "--shared-index-path" - options of "git rev-parse" did not produce usable output. They are - now updated to show the path to the correct file, relative to where - the caller is. - - * "git diff -W" has been taught to handle the case where a new - function is added at the end of the file better. - - * "git update-ref -d" and other operations to delete references did - not leave any entry in HEAD's reflog when the reference being - deleted was the current branch. This is not a problem in practice - because you do not want to delete the branch you are currently on, - but caused renaming of the current branch to something else not to - be logged in a useful way. - - * "Cc:" on the trailer part does not have to conform to RFC strictly, - unlike in the e-mail header. "git send-email" has been updated to - ignore anything after '>' when picking addresses, to allow non-address - cruft like " # stable 4.4" after the address. - - * When "git submodule init" decides that the submodule in the working - tree is its upstream, it now gives a warning as it is not a very - common setup. - - * "git stash push" takes a pathspec so that the local changes can be - stashed away only partially. - - * Documentation for "git ls-files" did not refer to core.quotePath. - - * The experimental "split index" feature has gained a few - configuration variables to make it easier to use. - - * From a working tree of a repository, a new option of "rev-parse" - lets you ask if the repository is used as a submodule of another - project, and where the root level of the working tree of that - project (i.e. your superproject) is. - - * The pathspec mechanism learned to further limit the paths that - match the pattern to those that have specified attributes attached - via the gitattributes mechanism. - - * Our source code has used the SHA1_HEADER cpp macro after "#include" - in the C code to switch among the SHA-1 implementations. Instead, - list the exact header file names and switch among implementations - using "#ifdef BLK_SHA1/#include "block-sha1/sha1.h"/.../#endif"; - this helps some IDE tools. - - * The start-up sequence of "git" needs to figure out some configured - settings before it finds and set itself up in the location of the - repository and was quite messy due to its "chicken-and-egg" nature. - The code has been restructured. - - * The command line prompt (in contrib/) learned a new 'tag' style - that can be specified with GIT_PS1_DESCRIBE_STYLE, to describe a - detached HEAD with "git describe --tags". - - * The configuration file learned a new "includeIf.<condition>.path" - that includes the contents of the given path only when the - condition holds. This allows you to say "include this work-related - bit only in the repositories under my ~/work/ directory". - - * Recent update to "rebase -i" started showing a message that is not - a warning with "warning:" prefix by mistake. This has been fixed. - - * Recently we started passing the "--push-options" through the - external remote helper interface; now the "smart HTTP" remote - helper understands what to do with the passed information. - - * "git describe --dirty" dies when it cannot be determined if the - state in the working tree matches that of HEAD (e.g. broken - repository or broken submodule). The command learned a new option - "git describe --broken" to give "$name-broken" (where $name is the - description of HEAD) in such a case. - - * "git checkout" is taught the "--recurse-submodules" option. - - * Recent enhancement to "git stash push" command to support pathspec - to allow only a subset of working tree changes to be stashed away - was found to be too chatty and exposed the internal implementation - detail (e.g. when it uses reset to match the index to HEAD before - doing other things, output from reset seeped out). These, and - other chattyness has been fixed. - - * "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>" syntax that has been deprecated - since October 2007 has been removed. - - * The refs completion for large number of refs has been sped up, - partly by giving up disambiguating ambiguous refs and partly by - eliminating most of the shell processing between 'git for-each-ref' - and 'ls-remote' and Bash's completion facility. - - * On many keyboards, typing "@{" involves holding down SHIFT key and - one can easily end up with "@{Up..." when typing "@{upstream}". As - the upstream/push keywords do not appear anywhere else in the syntax, - we can safely accept them case insensitively without introducing - ambiguity or confusion to solve this. - - * "git tag/branch/for-each-ref" family of commands long allowed to - filter the refs by "--contains X" (show only the refs that are - descendants of X), "--merged X" (show only the refs that are - ancestors of X), "--no-merged X" (show only the refs that are not - ancestors of X). One curious omission, "--no-contains X" (show - only the refs that are not descendants of X) has been added to - them. - - * The default behaviour of "git log" in an interactive session has - been changed to enable "--decorate". - - * The output from "git status --short" has been extended to show - various kinds of dirtiness in submodules differently; instead of to - "M" for modified, 'm' and '?' can be shown to signal changes only - to the working tree of the submodule but not the commit that is - checked out. - - * Allow the http.postbuffer configuration variable to be set to a - size that can be expressed in size_t, which can be larger than - ulong on some platforms. - - * "git rebase" learns "--signoff" option. - - * The completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete "git push - --delete b<TAB>" to complete branch name to be deleted. - - * "git worktree add --lock" allows to lock a worktree immediately - after it's created. This helps prevent a race between "git worktree - add; git worktree lock" and "git worktree prune". - - * Completion for "git checkout <branch>" that auto-creates the branch - out of a remote tracking branch can now be disabled, as this - completion often gets in the way when completing to checkout an - existing local branch that happens to share the same prefix with - bunch of remote tracking branches. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. - - * The code to list branches in "git branch" has been consolidated - with the more generic ref-filter API. - - * Resource usage while enumerating refs from alternate object store - has been optimized to help receiving end of "push" that hosts a - repository with many "forks". - - * The gitattributes machinery is being taught to work better in a - multi-threaded environment. - - * "git rebase -i" starts using the recently updated "sequencer" code. - - * Code and design clean-up for the refs API. - - * The preload-index code has been taught not to bother with the index - entries that are paths that are not checked out by "sparse checkout". - - * Some warning() messages from "git clean" were updated to show the - errno from failed system calls. - - * The "parse_config_key()" API function has been cleaned up. - - * A test that creates a confusing branch whose name is HEAD has been - corrected not to do so. - - * The code that parses header fields in the commit object has been - updated for (micro)performance and code hygiene. - - * An helper function to make it easier to append the result from - real_path() to a strbuf has been added. - - * Reduce authentication round-trip over HTTP when the server supports - just a single authentication method. This also improves the - behaviour when Git is misconfigured to enable http.emptyAuth - against a server that does not authenticate without a username - (i.e. not using Kerberos etc., which makes http.emptyAuth - pointless). - - * Windows port wants to use OpenSSL's implementation of SHA-1 - routines, so let them. - - * 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. - - * Add 32-bit Linux variant to the set of platforms to be tested with - Travis CI. - - * "git branch --list" takes the "--abbrev" and "--no-abbrev" options - to control the output of the object name in its "-v"(erbose) - output, but a recent update started ignoring them; fix it before - the breakage reaches to any released version. - - * Picking two versions of Git and running tests to make sure the - older one and the newer one interoperate happily has now become - possible. - - * "git tag --contains" used to (ab)use the object bits to keep track - of the state of object reachability without clearing them after - use; this has been cleaned up and made to use the newer commit-slab - facility. - - * The "debug" helper used in the test framework learned to run - a command under "gdb" interactively. - - * The "detect attempt to create collisions" variant of SHA-1 - implementation by Marc Stevens (CWI) and Dan Shumow (Microsoft) - has been integrated and made the default. - - * The test framework learned to detect unterminated here documents. - - * The name-hash used for detecting paths that are different only in - cases (which matter on case insensitive filesystems) has been - optimized to take advantage of multi-threading when it makes sense. - - * An earlier version of sha1dc/sha1.c that was merged to 'master' - compiled incorrectly on Windows, which has been fixed. - - * "what URL do we want to update this submodule?" and "are we - interested in this submodule?" are split into two distinct - concepts, and then the way used to express the latter got extended, - paving a way to make it easier to manage a project with many - submodules and make it possible to later extend use of multiple - worktrees for a project with submodules. - - * Some debugging output from "git describe" were marked for l10n, - but some weren't. Mark missing ones for l10n. - - * Define a new task in .travis.yml that triggers a test session on - Windows run elsewhere. - - * Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues. - - * The "submodule" specific field in the ref_store structure is - replaced with a more generic "gitdir" that can later be used also - when dealing with ref_store that represents the set of refs visible - from the other worktrees. - - * The string-list API used a custom reallocation strategy that was - very inefficient, instead of using the usual ALLOC_GROW() macro, - which has been fixed. - (merge 950a234cbd jh/string-list-micro-optim later to maint). - - * In a 2- and 3-way merge of trees, more than one source trees often - end up sharing an identical subtree; optimize by not reading the - same tree multiple times in such a case. - (merge d12a8cf0af jh/unpack-trees-micro-optim later to maint). - - * The index file has a trailing SHA-1 checksum to detect file - corruption, and historically we checked it every time the index - file is used. Omit the validation during normal use, and instead - verify only in "git fsck". - - * Having a git command on the upstream side of a pipe in a test - script will hide the exit status from the command, which may cause - us to fail to notice a breakage; rewrite tests in a script to avoid - this issue. - - * Travis CI learns to run coccicheck. - - * "git checkout" that handles a lot of paths has been optimized by - reducing the number of unnecessary checks of paths in the - has_dir_name() function. - - * The internals of the refs API around the cached refs has been - streamlined. - - * Output from perf tests have been updated to align their titles. - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v2.12 ------------------ - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.12 in the maintenance -track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' -notes for details). - - * "git repack --depth=<n>" for a long time busted the specified depth - when reusing delta from existing packs. This has been corrected. - - * The code to parse the command line "git grep <patterns>... <rev> - [[--] <pathspec>...]" has been cleaned up, and a handful of bugs - have been fixed (e.g. we used to check "--" if it is a rev). - - * "git ls-remote" and "git archive --remote" are designed to work - without being in a directory under Git's control. However, recent - updates revealed that we randomly look into a directory called - .git/ without actually doing necessary set-up when working in a - repository. Stop doing so. - - * "git show-branch" expected there were only very short branch names - in the repository and used a fixed-length buffer to hold them - without checking for overflow. - - * A caller of tempfile API that uses stdio interface to write to - files may ignore errors while writing, which is detected when - tempfile is closed (with a call to ferror()). By that time, the - original errno that may have told us what went wrong is likely to - be long gone and was overwritten by an irrelevant value. - close_tempfile() now resets errno to EIO to make errno at least - predictable. - - * "git remote rm X", when a branch has remote X configured as the - value of its branch.*.remote, tried to remove branch.*.remote and - branch.*.merge and failed if either is unset. - - * A "gc.log" file left by a backgrounded "gc --auto" disables further - automatic gc; it has been taught to run at least once a day (by - default) by ignoring a stale "gc.log" file that is too old. - - * The code to parse "git -c VAR=VAL cmd" and set configuration - variable for the duration of cmd had two small bugs, which have - been fixed. - - * user.email that consists of only cruft chars should consistently - error out, but didn't. - - * "git upload-pack", which is a counter-part of "git fetch", did not - report a request for a ref that was not advertised as invalid. - This is generally not a problem (because "git fetch" will stop - before making such a request), but is the right thing to do. - - * A leak in a codepath to read from a packed object in (rare) cases - has been plugged. - - * When a redirected http transport gets an error during the - redirected request, we ignored the error we got from the server, - and ended up giving a not-so-useful error message. - - * The patch subcommand of "git add -i" was meant to have paths - selection prompt just like other subcommand, unlike "git add -p" - directly jumps to hunk selection. Recently, this was broken and - "add -i" lost the paths selection dialog, but it now has been - fixed. - - * Git v2.12 was shipped with an embarrassing breakage where various - operations that verify paths given from the user stopped dying when - seeing an issue, and instead later triggering segfault. - - * There is no need for Python only to give a few messages to the - standard error stream, but we somehow did. - - * The code to parse "git log -L..." command line was buggy when there - are many ranges specified with -L; overrun of the allocated buffer - has been fixed. - - * The command-line parsing of "git log -L" copied internal data - structures using incorrect size on ILP32 systems. - - * "git diff --quiet" relies on the size field in diff_filespec to be - correctly populated, but diff_populate_filespec() helper function - made an incorrect short-cut when asked only to populate the size - field for paths that need to go through convert_to_git() (e.g. CRLF - conversion). - - * 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. - - * "git push" had a handful of codepaths that could lead to a deadlock - when unexpected error happened, which has been fixed. - - * "Dumb http" transport used to misparse a nonsense http-alternates - response, which has been fixed. - - * "git add -p <pathspec>" unnecessarily expanded the pathspec to a - list of individual files that matches the pathspec by running "git - ls-files <pathspec>", before feeding it to "git diff-index" to see - which paths have changes, because historically the pathspec - language supported by "diff-index" was weaker. These days they are - equivalent and there is no reason to internally expand it. This - helps both performance and avoids command line argument limit on - some platforms. - (merge 7288e12cce jk/add-i-use-pathspecs later to maint). - - * "git status --porcelain" is supposed to give a stable output, but a - few strings were left as translatable by mistake. - - * "git revert -m 0 $merge_commit" complained that reverting a merge - needs to say relative to which parent the reversion needs to - happen, as if "-m 0" weren't given. The correct diagnosis is that - "-m 0" does not refer to the first parent ("-m 1" does). This has - been fixed. - - * Code to read submodule.<name>.ignore config did not state the - variable name correctly when giving an error message diagnosing - misconfiguration. - - * Fix for NO_PTHREADS build. - - * Fix for potential segv introduced in v2.11.0 and later (also - v2.10.2) to "git log --pickaxe-regex -S". - - * A few unterminated here documents in tests were fixed, which in - turn revealed incorrect expectations the tests make.

No in-tree users of the API - has such access pattern, but it still is worth fixing. - - * "git receive-pack" could have been forced to die by attempting - allocate an unreasonably large amount of memory with a crafted push - certificate; this has been fixed. - (merge f2214dede9 bc/push-cert-receive-fix later to maint). - - * Update error handling for codepath that deals with corrupt loose - objects. - (merge 51054177b3 jk/loose-object-info-report-error later to maint). - - * "git diff --submodule=diff" learned to work better in a project - with a submodule that in turn has its own submodules. - (merge 17b254cda6 sb/show-diff-for-submodule-in-diff-fix later to maint). - - * Update the build dependency so that an update to /usr/bin/perl - etc. result in recomputation of perl.mak file. - (merge c59c4939c2 ab/regen-perl-mak-with-different-perl later to maint). - - * "git push --recurse-submodules --push-option=<string>" learned to - propagate the push option recursively down to pushes in submodules. - - * If a patch e-mail had its first paragraph after an in-body header - indented (even after a blank line after the in-body header line), - the indented line was mistook as a continuation of the in-body - header. This has been fixed. - (merge fd1062e52e lt/mailinfo-in-body-header-continuation later to maint). - - * Clean up fallouts from recent tightening of the set-up sequence, - where Git barfs when repository information is accessed without - first ensuring that it was started in a repository. - (merge bccb22cbb1 jk/no-looking-at-dotgit-outside-repo later to maint). - - * "git p4" used "name-rev HEAD" when it wants to learn what branch is - checked out; it should use "symbolic-ref HEAD". - (merge eff451101d ld/p4-current-branch-fix later to maint). - - * "http.proxy" set to an empty string is used to disable the usage of - proxy.

This is a possible workaround for that problem. - - * It turns out that Cygwin also needs the fopen() wrapper that - returns failure when a directory is opened for reading. - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v2.13 ------------------ - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.13 in the maintenance -track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' -notes for details). - - * "git gc" did not interact well with "git worktree"-managed - per-worktree refs. - - * "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 codepath in "git am" that is used when running "git rebase" - leaked memory held for the log message of the commits being rebased. - - * "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. - - * Setting "log.decorate=false" in the configuration file did not take - effect in v2.13, which has been corrected. - - * A few codepaths in "checkout" and "am" working on an unborn branch - tried to access an uninitialized piece of memory. - - * 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. - - * The receive-pack program now makes sure that the push certificate - records the same set of push options used for pushing. - - * Tests have been updated to pass under GETTEXT_POISON (a mechanism - to ensure that output strings that should not be translated are - not translated by mistake), and TravisCI is told to run them. - - * "git checkout --recurse-submodules" did not quite work with a - submodule that itself has submodules. - - * "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. - - * Fix memory leaks pointed out by Coverity (and people). - - * "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. - - * 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. - - * Introduce the BUG() macro to improve die("BUG: ..."). - - * Clarify documentation for include.path and includeIf.<condition>.path - configuration variables. - - * 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. - - * A few http:// links that are redirected to https:// in the - documentation have been updated to https:// links. - - * "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. - - * Regression fix to topic recently merged to 'master'. - - * The shell completion script (in contrib/) learned "git stash" has - a new "push" subcommand. - - * "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. - - * 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) - - * "git describe --contains" penalized light-weight tags so much that - they were almost never considered. Instead, give them about the - same chance to be considered as an annotated tag that is the same - age as the underlying commit would. - - * The "run-command" API implementation has been made more robust - against dead-locking in a threaded environment. - - * A recent update to t5545-push-options.sh started skipping all the - tests in the script when a web server testing is disabled or - unavailable, not just the ones that require a web server. Non HTTP - tests have been salvaged to always run in this script. - - * "git send-email" now uses Net::SMTP::SSL, which is obsolete, only - when needed. Recent versions of Net::SMTP can do TLS natively. - - * "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. - - * "git clean -d" used to clean directories that has ignored files, - even though the command should not lose ignored ones without "-x". - "git status --ignored" did not list ignored and untracked files - without "-uall". These have been corrected. - - * The result from "git diff" that compares two blobs, e.g. "git diff - $commit1:$path $commit2:$path", used to be shown with the full - object name as given on the command line, but it is more natural to - use the $path in the output and use it to look up .gitattributes. - - * 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. - - * The timestamp of the index file is now taken after the file is - closed, to help Windows, on which a stale timestamp is reported by - fstat() on a file that is opened for writing and data was written - but not yet closed. - - * "git pull --rebase --autostash" didn't auto-stash when the local history - fast-forwards to the upstream. - - * A flaky test has been corrected. - - * "git $cmd -h" for builtin commands calls the implementation of the - command (i.e. cmd_$cmd() function) without doing any repository - set-up, and the commands that expect RUN_SETUP is done by the Git - potty needs to be prepared to show the help text without barfing. - (merge d691551192 jk/consistent-h later to maint). - - * Help contributors that visit us at GitHub. - - * "git stash push <pathspec>" did not work from a subdirectory at all. - Bugfix for a topic in v2.13 - - * As there is no portable way to pass timezone information to - strftime, some output format from "git log" and friends are - impossible to produce. Teach our own strbuf_addftime to replace %z - and %Z with caller-supplied values to help working around this. - (merge 6eced3ec5e rs/strbuf-addftime-zZ later to maint). - - * "git mergetool" learned to work around a wrapper MacOS X adds - around underlying meld. - - * An example in documentation that does not work in multi worktree - configuration has been corrected. - - * The pretty-format specifiers like '%h', '%t', etc. had an - optimization that no longer works correctly. In preparation/hope - of getting it correctly implemented, first discard the optimization - that is broken. - - * The code to pick up and execute command alias definition from the - configuration used to switch to the top of the working tree and - then come back when the expanded alias was executed, which was - unnecessarily complex. Attempt to simplify the logic by using the - early-config mechanism that does not chdir around. - - * Fix configuration codepath to pay proper attention to commondir - that is used in multi-worktree situation, and isolate config API - into its own header file. - (merge dc8441fdb4 bw/config-h later to maint). - - * "git add -p" were updated in 2.12 timeframe to cope with custom - core.commentchar but the implementation was buggy and a - metacharacter like $ and * did not work. - - * A recent regression in "git rebase -i" has been fixed and tests - that would have caught it and others have been added. - - * An unaligned 32-bit access in pack-bitmap code has been corrected. - - * Tighten error checks for invalid "git apply" input. - - * The split index code did not honor core.sharedRepository setting - correctly. - - * The Makefile rule in contrib/subtree for building documentation - learned to honour USE_ASCIIDOCTOR just like the main documentation - set does. - - * Code clean-up to fix possible buffer over-reading. - - * A few tests that tried to verify the contents of push certificates - did not use 'git rev-parse' to formulate the line to look for in - the certificate correctly. - - * Update the character width tables. - - * After "git branch --move" of the currently checked out branch, the - code to walk the reflog of HEAD via "log -g" and friends - incorrectly stopped at the reflog entry that records the renaming - of the branch. - - * The rewrite of "git branch --list" using for-each-ref's internals - that happened in v2.13 regressed its handling of color.branch.local; - this has been fixed. - - * The build procedure has been improved to allow building and testing - Git with address sanitizer more easily. - (merge 425ca6710b jk/build-with-asan later to maint). - - * On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository" - ought to mean a repository on a network share that can be accessed - locally, but this did not work correctly due to stripping the double - slashes at the beginning. - - * The progress meter did not give a useful output when we haven't had - 0.5 seconds to measure the throughput during the interval. Instead - show the overall throughput rate at the end, which is a much more - useful number. - - * Code clean-up, that makes us in sync with Debian by one patch. - - * We run an early part of "git gc" that deals with refs before - daemonising (and not under lock) even when running a background - auto-gc, which caused multiple gc processes attempting to run the - early part at the same time. This is now prevented by running the - early part also under the GC lock. - - * A recent update broke an alias that contained an uppercase letter. - - * Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups. - (merge 5053313562 rs/urlmatch-cleanup later to maint). - (merge 42c78a216e rs/use-div-round-up later to maint). - (merge 5e8d2729ae rs/wt-status-cleanup later to maint). - (merge bc9b7e207f as/diff-options-grammofix later to maint). - (merge ac05222b31 ah/patch-id-doc later to maint). diff --git a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.14.1.txt b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.14.1.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 9403340f7f..0000000000 --- a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.14.1.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,4 +0,0 @@ -Git v2.14.1 Release Notes -========================= - -This release forward-ports the fix for "ssh://..."

The new "--no-optional-locks" - option can be passed to Git to disable them. - - * "git for-each-ref --format=..." learned a new format element, - %(trailers), to show only the commit log trailer part of the log - message. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. - - * Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues. - - * Start using selected c99 constructs in small, stable and - essential part of the system to catch people who care about - older compilers that do not grok them. - - * The filter-process interface learned to allow a process with long - latency give a "delayed" response. - - * Many uses of comparison callback function the hashmap API uses - cast the callback function type when registering it to - hashmap_init(), which defeats the compile time type checking when - the callback interface changes (e.g. gaining more parameters). - The callback implementations have been updated to take "void *" - pointers and cast them to the type they expect instead. - - * Because recent Git for Windows do come with a real msgfmt, the - build procedure for git-gui has been updated to use it instead of a - hand-rolled substitute. - - * "git grep --recurse-submodules" has been reworked to give a more - consistent output across submodule boundary (and do its thing - without having to fork a separate process). - - * A helper function to read a single whole line into strbuf - mistakenly triggered OOM error at EOF under certain conditions, - which has been fixed. - - * The "ref-store" code reorganization continues. - - * "git commit" used to discard the index and re-read from the filesystem - just in case the pre-commit hook has updated it in the middle; this - has been optimized out when we know we do not run the pre-commit hook. - (merge 680ee550d7 kw/commit-keep-index-when-pre-commit-is-not-run later to maint). - - * Updates to the HTTP layer we made recently unconditionally used - features of libCurl without checking the existence of them, causing - compilation errors, which has been fixed. Also migrate the code to - check feature macros, not version numbers, to cope better with - libCurl that vendor ships with backported features. - - * The API to start showing progress meter after a short delay has - been simplified. - (merge 8aade107dd jc/simplify-progress later to maint). - - * Code clean-up to avoid mixing values read from the .gitmodules file - and values read from the .git/config file. - - * We used to spend more than necessary cycles allocating and freeing - piece of memory while writing each index entry out. This has been - optimized. - - * Platforms that ship with a separate sha1 with collision detection - library can link to it instead of using the copy we ship as part of - our source tree. - - * Code around "notes" have been cleaned up. - (merge 3964281524 mh/notes-cleanup later to maint). - - * The long-standing rule that an in-core lockfile instance, once it - is used, must not be freed, has been lifted and the lockfile and - tempfile APIs have been updated to reduce the chance of programming - errors. - - * Our hashmap implementation in hashmap.[ch] is not thread-safe when - adding a new item needs to expand the hashtable by rehashing; add - an API to disable the automatic rehashing to work it around. - - * Many of our programs consider that it is OK to release dynamic - storage that is used throughout the life of the program by simply - exiting, but this makes it harder to leak detection tools to avoid - reporting false positives. Plug many existing leaks and introduce - a mechanism for developers to mark that the region of memory - pointed by a pointer is not lost/leaking to help these tools. - - * As "git commit" to conclude a conflicted "git merge" honors the - commit-msg hook, "git merge" that records a merge commit that - cleanly auto-merges should, but it didn't. - - * The codepath for "git merge-recursive" has been cleaned up. - - * Many leaks of strbuf have been fixed. - - * "git imap-send" has our own implementation of the protocol and also - can use more recent libCurl with the imap protocol support. Update - the latter so that it can use the credential subsystem, and then - make it the default option to use, so that we can eventually - deprecate and remove the former. - - * "make style" runs git-clang-format to help developers by pointing - out coding style issues. - - * A test to demonstrate "git mv" failing to adjust nested submodules - has been added. - (merge c514167df2 hv/mv-nested-submodules-test later to maint). - - * On Cygwin, "ulimit -s" does not report failure but it does not work - at all, which causes an unexpected success of some tests that - expect failures under a limited stack situation. This has been - fixed. - - * Many codepaths have been updated to squelch -Wimplicit-fallthrough - warnings from Gcc 7 (which is a good code hygiene). - - * Add a helper for DLL loading in anticipation for its need in a - future topic RSN. - - * "git status --ignored", when noticing that a directory without any - tracked path is ignored, still enumerated all the ignored paths in - the directory, which is unnecessary. The codepath has been - optimized to avoid this overhead. - - * The final batch to "git rebase -i" updates to move more code from - the shell script to C has been merged. - - * Operations that do not touch (majority of) packed refs have been - optimized by making accesses to packed-refs file lazy; we no longer - pre-parse everything, and an access to a single ref in the - packed-refs does not touch majority of irrelevant refs, either. - - * Add comment to clarify that the style file is meant to be used with - clang-5 and the rules are still work in progress. - - * Many variables that points at a region of memory that will live - throughout the life of the program have been marked with UNLEAK - marker to help the leak checkers concentrate on real leaks.. - - * Plans for weaning us off of SHA-1 has been documented. - - * A new "oidmap" API has been introduced and oidset API has been - rewritten to use it. - - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v2.14 ------------------ - - * "%C(color name)" in the pretty print format always produced ANSI - color escape codes, which was an early design mistake. They now - honor the configuration (e.g. "color.ui = never") and also tty-ness - of the output medium. - - * The http.{sslkey,sslCert} configuration variables are to be - interpreted as a pathname that honors "~[username]/" prefix, but - weren't, which has been fixed. - - * Numerous bugs in walking of reflogs via "log -g" and friends have - been fixed. - - * "git commit" when seeing an totally empty message said "you did not - edit the message", which is clearly wrong. The message has been - corrected. - - * When a directory is not readable, "gitweb" fails to build the - project list. Work this around by skipping such a directory. - - * Some versions of GnuPG fails to kill gpg-agent it auto-spawned - and such a left-over agent can interfere with a test. Work it - around by attempting to kill one before starting a new test. - - * A recently added test for the "credential-cache" helper revealed - that EOF detection done around the time the connection to the cache - daemon is torn down were flaky. This was fixed by reacting to - ECONNRESET and behaving as if we got an EOF. - - * "git log --tag=no-such-tag" showed log starting from HEAD, which - has been fixed---it now shows nothing. - - * The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who - actually create tag objects, as it interfered with the use of an - editor. A new mechanism has been introduced for commands to enable - pager depending on what operation is being carried out to fix this, - and then "git tag -l" is made to run pager by default. - - * "git push --recurse-submodules $there HEAD:$target" was not - propagated down to the submodules, but now it is. - - * Commands like "git rebase" accepted the --rerere-autoupdate option - from the command line, but did not always use it. This has been - fixed. - - * "git clone --recurse-submodules --quiet" did not pass the quiet - option down to submodules. - - * Test portability fix for OBSD. - - * Portability fix for OBSD. - - * "git am -s" has been taught that some input may end with a trailer - block that is not Signed-off-by: and it should refrain from adding - an extra blank line before adding a new sign-off in such a case. - - * "git svn" used with "--localtime" option did not compute the tz - offset for the timestamp in question and instead always used the - current time, which has been corrected. - - * Memory leak in an error codepath has been plugged. - - * "git stash -u" used the contents of the committed version of the - ".gitignore" file to decide which paths are ignored, even when the - file has local changes. The command has been taught to instead use - the locally modified contents. - - * bash 4.4 or newer gave a warning on NUL byte in command - substitution done in "git stash"; this has been squelched. - - * "git grep -L" and "git grep --quiet -L" reported different exit - codes; this has been corrected. - - * When handshake with a subprocess filter notices that the process - asked for an unknown capability, Git did not report what program - the offending subprocess was running. This has been corrected. - - * "git apply" that is used as a better "patch -p1" failed to apply a - taken from a file with CRLF line endings to a file with CRLF line - endings. The root cause was because it misused convert_to_git() - that tried to do "safe-crlf" processing by looking at the index - entry at the same path, which is a nonsense---in that mode, "apply" - is not working on the data in (or derived from) the index at all. - This has been fixed. - - * Killing "git merge --edit" before the editor returns control left - the repository in a state with MERGE_MSG but without MERGE_HEAD, - which incorrectly tells the subsequent "git commit" that there was - a squash merge in progress. This has been fixed. - - * "git archive" did not work well with pathspecs and the - export-ignore attribute. - - * In addition to "cc: <a@dd.re.ss> # cruft", "cc: a@dd.re.ss # cruft" - was taught to "git send-email" as a valid way to tell it that it - needs to also send a carbon copy to <a@dd.re.ss> in the trailer - section. - - * "git branch -M a b" while on a branch that is completely unrelated - to either branch a or branch b misbehaved when multiple worktree - was in use. This has been fixed. - (merge 31824d180d nd/worktree-kill-parse-ref later to maint). - - * "git gc" and friends when multiple worktrees are used off of a - single repository did not consider the index and per-worktree refs - of other worktrees as the root for reachability traversal, making - objects that are in use only in other worktrees to be subject to - garbage collection. - - * A regression to "gitk --bisect" by a recent update has been fixed. - - * "git -c submodule.recurse=yes pull" did not work as if the - "--recurse-submodules" option was given from the command line. - This has been corrected. - - * Unlike "git commit-tree < file", "git commit-tree -F file" did not - pass the contents of the file verbatim and instead completed an - incomplete line at the end, if exists. The latter has been updated - to match the behaviour of the former. - - * Many codepaths did not diagnose write failures correctly when disks - go full, due to their misuse of write_in_full() helper function, - which have been corrected. - (merge f48ecd38cb jk/write-in-full-fix later to maint). - - * "git help co" now says "co is aliased to ...", not "git co is". - (merge b3a8076e0d ks/help-alias-label later to maint). - - * "git archive", especially when used with pathspec, stored an empty - directory in its output, even though Git itself never does so. - This has been fixed. - - * API error-proofing which happens to also squelch warnings from GCC. - - * The explanation of the cut-line in the commit log editor has been - slightly tweaked. - (merge 8c4b1a3593 ks/commit-do-not-touch-cut-line later to maint). - - * "git gc" tries to avoid running two instances at the same time by - reading and writing pid/host from and to a lock file; it used to - use an incorrect fscanf() format when reading, which has been - corrected. - - * The scripts to drive TravisCI has been reorganized and then an - optimization to avoid spending cycles on a branch whose tip is - tagged has been implemented. - (merge 8376eb4a8f ls/travis-scriptify later to maint). - - * The test linter has been taught that we do not like "echo -e". - - * Code cmp.std.c nitpick. - - * A regression fix for 2.11 that made the code to read the list of - alternate object stores overrun the end of the string. - (merge f0f7bebef7 jk/info-alternates-fix later to maint). - - * "git describe --match" learned to take multiple patterns in v2.13 - series, but the feature ignored the patterns after the first one - and did not work at all. This has been fixed. - - * "git filter-branch" cannot reproduce a history with a tag without - the tagger field, which only ancient versions of Git allowed to be - created. This has been corrected. - (merge b2c1ca6b4b ic/fix-filter-branch-to-handle-tag-without-tagger later to maint). - - * "git cat-file --textconv" started segfaulting recently, which - has been corrected. - - * The built-in pattern to detect the "function header" for HTML did - not match <H1>..<H6> elements without any attributes, which has - been fixed. - - * "git mailinfo" was loose in decoding quoted printable and produced - garbage when the two letters after the equal sign are not - hexadecimal. This has been fixed. - - * The machinery to create xdelta used in pack files received the - sizes of the data in size_t, but lost the higher bits of them by - storing them in "unsigned int" during the computation, which is - fixed. - - * The delta format used in the packfile cannot reference data at - offset larger than what can be expressed in 4-byte, but the - generator for the data failed to make sure the offset does not - overflow. This has been corrected. - - * The documentation for '-X<option>' for merges was misleadingly - written to suggest that "-s theirs" exists, which is not the case. - - * "git fast-export" with -M/-C option issued "copy" instruction on a - path that is simultaneously modified, which was incorrect. - (merge b3e8ca89cf jt/fast-export-copy-modify-fix later to maint). - - * Many codepaths have been updated to squelch -Wsign-compare - warnings. - (merge 071bcaab64 rj/no-sign-compare later to maint). - - * Memory leaks in various codepaths have been plugged. - (merge 4d01a7fa65 ma/leakplugs later to maint). - - * Recent versions of "git rev-parse --parseopt" did not parse the - option specification that does not have the optional flags (*=?!) - correctly, which has been corrected. - (merge a6304fa4c2 bc/rev-parse-parseopt-fix later to maint). - - * The checkpoint command "git fast-import" did not flush updates to - refs and marks unless at least one object was created since the - last checkpoint, which has been corrected, as these things can - happen without any new object getting created. - (merge 30e215a65c er/fast-import-dump-refs-on-checkpoint later to maint). - - * Spell the name of our system as "Git" in the output from - request-pull script. - - * Fixes for a handful memory access issues identified by valgrind. - - * Backports a moral equivalent of 2015 fix to the poll() emulation - from the upstream gnulib to fix occasional breakages on HPE NonStop. - - * Users with "color.ui = always" in their configuration were broken - by a recent change that made plumbing commands to pay attention to - them as the patch created internally by "git add -p" were colored - (heh) and made unusable.

See File System Monitor section of - git-update-index(1) for more detail. - - * The "diff" family of commands learned to ignore differences in - carriage return at the end of line. - - * Places that know about "sendemail.to", like documentation and shell - completion (in contrib/) have been taught about "sendemail.tocmd", - too. - - * "git add --renormalize ." is a new and safer way to record the fact - that you are correcting the end-of-line convention and other - "convert_to_git()" glitches in the in-repository data. - - * "git branch" and "git checkout -b" are now forbidden from creating - a branch whose name is "HEAD". - - * "git branch --list" learned to show its output through the pager by - default when the output is going to a terminal, which is controlled - by the pager.branch configuration variable. This is similar to a - recent change to "git tag --list". - - * "git grep -W", "git diff -W" and their friends learned a heuristic - to extend a pre-context beyond the line that matches the "function - pattern" (aka "diff.*.xfuncname") to include a comment block, if - exists, that immediately precedes it. - - * "git config --expiry-date gc.reflogexpire" can read "2.weeks" from - the configuration and report it as a timestamp, just like "--int" - would read "1k" and report 1024, to help consumption by scripts. - - * The shell completion (in contrib/) learned that "git pull" can take - the "--autostash" option. - - * The tagnames "git log --decorate" uses to annotate the commits can - now be limited to subset of available refs with the two additional - options, --decorate-refs[-exclude]=<pattern>. - - * "git grep" compiled with libpcre2 sometimes triggered a segfault, - which is being fixed. - - * "git send-email" tries to see if the sendmail program is available - in /usr/lib and /usr/sbin; extend the list of locations to be - checked to also include directories on $PATH. - - * "git diff" learned, "--anchored", a variant of the "--patience" - algorithm, to which the user can specify which 'unique' line to be - used as anchoring points. - - * The way "git worktree add" determines what branch to create from - where and checkout in the new worktree has been updated a bit. - - * Ancient part of codebase still shows dots after an abbreviated - object name just to show that it is not a full object name, but - these ellipses are confusing to people who newly discovered Git - who are used to seeing abbreviated object names and find them - confusing with the range syntax. - - * With a configuration variable rebase.abbreviateCommands set, - "git rebase -i" produces the todo list with a single-letter - command names. - - * "git worktree add" learned to run the post-checkout hook, just like - "git checkout" does, after the initial checkout. - - * "git svn" has been updated to strip CRs in the commit messages, as - recent versions of Subversion rejects them. - - * "git imap-send" did not correctly quote the folder name when - making a request to the server, which has been corrected. - - * Error messages from "git rebase" have been somewhat cleaned up. - - * Git has been taught to support an https:// URL used for http.proxy - when using recent versions of libcurl. - - * "git merge" learned to pay attention to merge.verifySignatures - configuration variable and pretend as if '--verify-signatures' - option was given from the command line. - - * "git describe" was taught to dig trees deeper to find a - <commit-ish>:<path> that refers to a given blob object. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. - - * An earlier update made it possible to use an on-stack in-core - lockfile structure (as opposed to having to deliberately leak an - on-heap one). Many codepaths have been updated to take advantage - of this new facility. - - * Calling cmd_foo() as if it is a general purpose helper function is - a no-no. Correct two instances of such to set an example. - - * We try to see if somebody runs our test suite with a shell that - does not support "local" like bash/dash does. - - * An early part of piece-by-piece rewrite of "git bisect" in C. - - * GSoC to piece-by-piece rewrite "git submodule" in C. - - * Optimize the code to find shortest unique prefix of object names. - - * Pathspec-limited revision traversal was taught not to keep finding - unneeded differences once it knows two trees are different inside - given pathspec. - - * Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues. - - * Code cleanup. - - * A single-word "unsigned flags" in the diff options is being split - into a structure with many bitfields. - - * TravisCI build updates. - - * Parts of a test to drive the long-running content filter interface - has been split into its own module, hopefully to eventually become - reusable. - - * Drop (perhaps overly cautious) sanity check before using the index - read from the filesystem at runtime. - - * The build procedure has been taught to avoid some unnecessary - instability in the build products. - - * A new mechanism to upgrade the wire protocol in place is proposed - and demonstrated that it works with the older versions of Git - without harming them. - - * An infrastructure to define what hash function is used in Git is - introduced, and an effort to plumb that throughout various - codepaths has been started. - - * The code to iterate over loose object files got optimized. - - * An internal function that was left for backward compatibility has - been removed, as there is no remaining callers. - - * Historically, the diff machinery for rename detection had a - hardcoded limit of 32k paths; this is being lifted to allow users - trade cycles with a (possibly) easier to read result. - - * The tracing infrastructure has been optimized for cases where no - tracing is requested. - - * In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the object - walking machinery has been taught a way to tell it to "filter" some - objects from enumeration. - - * A few structures and variables that are implementation details of - the decorate API have been renamed and then the API got documented - better. - - * Assorted updates for TravisCI integration. - (merge 4f26366679 sg/travis-fixes later to maint). - - * Introduce a helper to simplify code to parse a common pattern that - expects either "--key" or "--key=<something>". - - * "git version --build-options" learned to report the host CPU and - the exact commit object name the binary was built from. - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v2.15 ------------------ - - * "auto" as a value for the columnar output configuration ought to - judge "is the output consumed by humans?" with the same criteria as - "auto" for coloured output configuration, i.e. either the standard - output stream is going to tty, or a pager is in use. We forgot the - latter, which has been fixed. - - * The experimental "color moved lines differently in diff output" - feature was buggy around "ignore whitespace changes" edges, which - has been corrected. - - * Instead of using custom line comparison and hashing functions to - implement "moved lines" coloring in the diff output, use the pair - of these functions from lower-layer xdiff/ code. - - * Some codepaths did not check for errors when asking what branch the - HEAD points at, which have been fixed. - - * "git commit", after making a commit, did not check for errors when - asking on what branch it made the commit, which has been corrected. - - * "git status --ignored -u" did not stop at a working tree of a - separate project that is embedded in an ignored directory and - listed files in that other project, instead of just showing the - directory itself as ignored. - - * A broken access to object databases in recent update to "git grep - --recurse-submodules" has been fixed. - - * A recent regression in "git rebase -i" that broke execution of git - commands from subdirectories via "exec" instruction has been fixed. - - * A (possibly flakey) test fix. - - * "git check-ref-format --branch @{-1}" bit a "BUG()" when run - outside a repository for obvious reasons; clarify the documentation - and make sure we do not even try to expand the at-mark magic in - such a case, but still call the validation logic for branch names. - - * "git fetch --recurse-submodules" now knows that submodules can be - moved around in the superproject in addition to getting updated, - and finds the ones that need to be fetched accordingly. - - * Command line completion (in contrib/) update. - - * Description of blame.{showroot,blankboundary,showemail,date} - configuration variables have been added to "git config --help". - - * After an error from lstat(), diff_populate_filespec() function - sometimes still went ahead and used invalid data in struct stat, - which has been fixed. - - * UNC paths are also relevant in Cygwin builds and they are now - tested just like Mingw builds. - - * Correct start-up sequence so that a repository could be placed - immediately under the root directory again (which was broken at - around Git 2.13). - - * The credential helper for libsecret (in contrib/) has been improved - to allow possibly prompting the end user to unlock secrets that are - currently locked (otherwise the secrets may not be loaded). - - * MinGW updates. - - * Error checking in "git imap-send" for empty response has been - improved. - - * Recent update to the refs infrastructure implementation started - rewriting packed-refs file more often than before; this has been - optimized again for most trivial cases. - - * Some error messages did not quote filenames shown in it, which have - been fixed. - - * "git rebase -i" recently started misbehaving when a submodule that - is configured with 'submodule.<name>.ignore' is dirty; this has - been corrected. - - * Building with NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT did not disable it, which has been fixed. - - * We used to add an empty alternate object database to the system - that does not help anything; it has been corrected. - - * Doc update around use of "format-patch --subject-prefix" etc. - - * A fix for an ancient bug in "git apply --ignore-space-change" codepath. - - * Clarify and enhance documentation for "merge-base --fork-point", as - it was clear what it computed but not why/what for. - - * A few scripts (both in production and tests) incorrectly redirected - their error output. These have been corrected. - - * "git notes" sent its error message to its standard output stream, - which was corrected. - - * The three-way merge performed by "git cherry-pick" was confused - when a new submodule was added in the meantime, which has been - fixed (or "papered over"). - - * The sequencer machinery (used by "git cherry-pick A..B", and "git - rebase -i", among other things) would have lost a commit if stopped - due to an unlockable index file, which has been fixed. - - * "git apply --inaccurate-eof" when used with "--ignore-space-change" - triggered an internal sanity check, which has been fixed. - - * Command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught about the - "--copy" option of "git branch". - - * When "git rebase" prepared a mailbox of changes and fed it to "git - am" to replay them, it was confused when a stray "From " happened - to be in the log message of one of the replayed changes. This has - been corrected. - - * There was a recent semantic mismerge in the codepath to write out a - section of a configuration section, which has been corrected. - - * Mentions of "git-rebase" and "git-am" (dashed form) still remained - in end-user visible strings emitted by the "git rebase" command; - they have been corrected. - - * Contrary to the documentation, "git pull -4/-6 other-args" did not - ask the underlying "git fetch" to go over IPv4/IPv6, which has been - corrected. - - * "git checkout --recursive" may overwrite and rewind the history of - the branch that happens to be checked out in submodule - repositories, which might not be desirable. Detach the HEAD but - still allow the recursive checkout to succeed in such a case. - (merge 57f22bf997 sb/submodule-recursive-checkout-detach-head later to maint). - - * "git branch --set-upstream" has been deprecated and (sort of) - removed, as "--set-upstream-to" is the preferred one these days. - The documentation still had "--set-upstream" listed on its - synopsis section, which has been corrected. - (merge a060f3d3d8 tz/branch-doc-remove-set-upstream later to maint). - - * Internally we use 0{40} as a placeholder object name to signal the - codepath that there is no such object (e.g. the fast-forward check - while "git fetch" stores a new remote-tracking ref says "we know - there is no 'old' thing pointed at by the ref, as we are creating - it anew" by passing 0{40} for the 'old' side), and expect that a - codepath to locate an in-core object to return NULL as a sign that - the object does not exist. A look-up for an object that does not - exist however is quite costly with a repository with large number - of packfiles. This access pattern has been optimized. - (merge 87b5e236a1 jk/fewer-pack-rescan later to maint). - - * In addition to "git stash -m message", the command learned to - accept "git stash -mmessage" form. - (merge 5675473fcb ph/stash-save-m-option-fix later to maint). - - * @{-N} in "git checkout @{-N}" may refer to a detached HEAD state, - but the documentation was not clear about it, which has been fixed. - (merge 75ce149575 ks/doc-checkout-previous later to maint). - - * A regression in the progress eye-candy was fixed. - (merge 9c5951cacf jk/progress-delay-fix later to maint). - - * The code internal to the recursive merge strategy was not fully - prepared to see a path that is renamed to try overwriting another - path that is only different in case on case insensitive systems. - This does not matter in the current code, but will start to matter - once the rename detection logic starts taking hints from nearby - paths moving to some directory and moves a new path along with them. - (merge 4cba2b0108 en/merge-recursive-icase-removal later to maint). - - * An v2.12-era regression in pathspec match logic, which made it look - into submodule tree even when it is not desired, has been fixed. - (merge eef3df5a93 bw/pathspec-match-submodule-boundary later to maint). - - * Amending commits in git-gui broke the author name that is non-ascii - due to incorrect encoding conversion. - - * Recent update to the submodule configuration code broke "diff-tree" - by accidentally stopping to read from the index upfront. - (merge fd66bcc31f bw/submodule-config-cleanup later to maint). - - * Git shows a message to tell the user that it is waiting for the - user to finish editing when spawning an editor, in case the editor - opens to a hidden window or somewhere obscure and the user gets - lost. - (merge abfb04d0c7 ls/editor-waiting-message later to maint). - - * The "safe crlf" check incorrectly triggered for contents that does - not use CRLF as line endings, which has been corrected. - (merge 649f1f0948 tb/check-crlf-for-safe-crlf later to maint). - - * "git clone --shared" to borrow from a (secondary) worktree did not - work, even though "git clone --local" did.

It has been taught to do so internally, - when able, by reusing the codepath "git commit" itself uses, which - gives performance boost for a few tens of percents in some sample - scenarios. - - * Push the submodule version of collision-detecting SHA-1 hash - implementation a bit harder on builders. - - * Avoid mmapping small files while using packed refs (especially ones - with zero size, which would cause later munmap() to fail). - - * Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues. - - * More tests for wildmatch functions. - - * The code to binary search starting from a fan-out table (which is - how the packfile is indexed with object names) has been refactored - into a reusable helper. - - * We now avoid using identifiers that clash with C++ keywords. Even - though it is not a goal to compile Git with C++ compilers, changes - like this help use of code analysis tools that targets C++ on our - codebase. - - * The executable is now built in 'script' phase in Travis CI integration, - to follow the established practice, rather than during 'before_script' - phase. This allows the CI categorize the failures better ('failed' - is project's fault, 'errored' is build environment's). - (merge 3c93b82920 sg/travis-build-during-script-phase later to maint). - - * Writing out the index file when the only thing that changed in it - is the untracked cache information is often wasteful, and this has - been optimized out. - - * Various pieces of Perl code we have have been cleaned up. - - * Internal API clean-up to allow write_locked_index() optionally skip - writing the in-core index when it is not modified. - - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v2.16 ------------------ - - * An old regression in "git describe --all $annotated_tag^0" has been - fixed. - - * "git status" after moving a path in the working tree (hence making - it appear "removed") and then adding with the -N option (hence - making that appear "added") detected it as a rename, but did not - report the old and new pathnames correctly. - - * "git svn dcommit" did not take into account the fact that a - svn+ssh:// URL with a username@ (typically used for pushing) refers - to the same SVN repository without the username@ and failed when - svn.pushmergeinfo option is set. - - * API clean-up around revision traversal. - - * "git merge -Xours/-Xtheirs" learned to use our/their version when - resolving a conflicting updates to a symbolic link. - - * "git clone $there $here" is allowed even when here directory exists - as long as it is an empty directory, but the command incorrectly - removed it upon a failure of the operation. - - * "git commit --fixup" did not allow "-m<message>" option to be used - at the same time; allow it to annotate resulting commit with more - text. - - * When resetting the working tree files recursively, the working tree - of submodules are now also reset to match. - - * "git stash -- <pathspec>" incorrectly blew away untracked files in - the directory that matched the pathspec, which has been corrected. - - * Instead of maintaining home-grown email address parsing code, ship - a copy of reasonably recent Mail::Address to be used as a fallback - in 'git send-email' when the platform lacks it. - (merge d60be8acab mm/send-email-fallback-to-local-mail-address later to maint). - - * "git add -p" was taught to ignore local changes to submodules as - they do not interfere with the partial addition of regular changes - anyway. - - * Avoid showing a warning message in the middle of a line of "git - diff" output. - (merge 4e056c989f nd/diff-flush-before-warning later to maint). - - * The http tracing code, often used to debug connection issues, - learned to redact potentially sensitive information from its output - so that it can be more safely shareable. - (merge 8ba18e6fa4 jt/http-redact-cookies later to maint). - - * Crash fix for a corner case where an error codepath tried to unlock - what it did not acquire lock on. - (merge 81fcb698e0 mr/packed-ref-store-fix later to maint). - - * The split-index mode had a few corner case bugs fixed. - (merge ae59a4e44f tg/split-index-fixes later to maint). - - * Assorted fixes to "git daemon". - (merge ed15e58efe jk/daemon-fixes later to maint). - - * Completion of "git merge -s<strategy>" (in contrib/) did not work - well in non-C locale. - (merge 7cc763aaa3 nd/list-merge-strategy later to maint). - - * Workaround for segfault with more recent versions of SVN. - (merge 7f6f75e97a ew/svn-branch-segfault-fix later to maint). - - * Plug recently introduced leaks in fsck. - (merge ba3a08ca0e jt/fsck-code-cleanup later to maint). - - * "git pull --rebase" did not pass verbosity setting down when - recursing into a submodule. - (merge a56771a668 sb/pull-rebase-submodule later to maint). - - * The way "git reset --hard" reports the commit the updated HEAD - points at is made consistent with the way how the commit title is - generated by the other parts of the system.

There also is "make DEVOPTS=tokens" knob - available now, for those who want to help fixing warnings we - usually ignore, for example. - - * A new version of the transport protocol is being worked on. - - * The code to interface to GPG has been restructured somewhat to make - it cleaner to integrate with other types of signature systems later. - - * The code has been taught to use the duplicated information stored - in the commit-graph file to learn the tree object name for a commit - to avoid opening and parsing the commit object when it makes sense - to do so. - - * "git gc" in a large repository takes a lot of time as it considers - to repack all objects into one pack by default. The command has - been taught to pretend as if the largest existing packfile is - marked with ".keep" so that it is left untouched while objects in - other packs and loose ones are repacked. - - * The transport protocol v2 is getting updated further. - - * The codepath around object-info API has been taught to take the - repository object (which in turn tells the API which object store - the objects are to be located). - - * "git pack-objects" needs to allocate tons of "struct object_entry" - while doing its work, and shrinking its size helps the performance - quite a bit. - - * The implementation of "git rebase -i --root" has been updated to use - the sequencer machinery more. - - * Developer support update, by using BUG() macro instead of die() to - mark codepaths that should not happen more clearly. - - * Developer support. Use newer GCC on one of the builds done at - TravisCI.org to get more warnings and errors diagnosed. - - * Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues. - - * By code restructuring of submodule merge in merge-recursive, - informational messages from the codepath are now given using the - same mechanism as other output, and honor the merge.verbosity - configuration. The code also learned to give a few new messages - when a submodule three-way merge resolves cleanly when one side - records a descendant of the commit chosen by the other side. - - * Avoid unchecked snprintf() to make future code auditing easier. - (merge ac4896f007 jk/snprintf-truncation later to maint). - - * Many tests hardcode the raw object names, which would change once - we migrate away from SHA-1. While some of them must test against - exact object names, most of them do not have to use hardcoded - constants in the test. The latter kind of tests have been updated - to test the moral equivalent of the original without hardcoding the - actual object names. - - * The list of commands with their various attributes were spread - across a few places in the build procedure, but it now is getting a - bit more consolidated to allow more automation. - - * Quite a many tests assumed that newly created refs are made as - loose refs using the files backend, which have been updated to use - proper plumbing like rev-parse and update-ref, to avoid breakage - once we start using different ref backends. - - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v2.17 ------------------ - - * "git shortlog cruft" aborted with a BUG message when run outside a - Git repository. The command has been taught to complain about - extra and unwanted arguments on its command line instead in such a - case. - (merge 4aa0161e83 ma/shortlog-revparse later to maint). - - * "git stash push -u -- <pathspec>" gave an unnecessary and confusing - error message when there was no tracked files that match the - <pathspec>, which has been fixed. - (merge 353278687e tg/stash-untracked-with-pathspec-fix later to maint). - - * "git tag --contains no-such-commit" gave a full list of options - after giving an error message. - (merge 3bb0923f06 ps/contains-id-error-message later to maint). - - * "diff-highlight" filter (in contrib/) learned to understand "git log - --graph" output better. - (merge 4551fbba14 jk/diff-highlight-graph-fix later to maint). - - * when refs that do not point at committish are given, "git - filter-branch" gave a misleading error messages. This has been - corrected. - (merge f78ab355e7 yk/filter-branch-non-committish-refs later to maint). - - * "git submodule status" misbehaved on a submodule that has been - removed from the working tree. - (merge 74b6bda32f rs/status-with-removed-submodule later to maint). - - * When credential helper exits very quickly without reading its - input, it used to cause Git to die with SIGPIPE, which has been - fixed. - (merge a0d51e8d0e eb/cred-helper-ignore-sigpipe later to maint). - - * "git rebase --keep-empty" still removed an empty commit if the - other side contained an empty commit (due to the "does an - equivalent patch exist already?" check), which has been corrected. - (merge 3d946165e1 pw/rebase-keep-empty-fixes later to maint). - - * Some codepaths, including the refs API, get and keep relative - paths, that go out of sync when the process does chdir(2). The - chdir-notify API is introduced to let these codepaths adjust these - cached paths to the new current directory. - (merge fb9c2d2703 jk/relative-directory-fix later to maint). - - * "cd sub/dir && git commit ../path" ought to record the changes to - the file "sub/path", but this regressed long time ago. - (merge 86238e07ef bw/commit-partial-from-subdirectory-fix later to maint). - - * Recent introduction of "--log-destination" option to "git daemon" - did not work well when the daemon was run under "--inetd" mode. - (merge e67d906d73 lw/daemon-log-destination later to maint). - - * Small fix to the autoconf build procedure. - (merge 249482daf0 es/fread-reads-dir-autoconf-fix later to maint). - - * Fix an unexploitable (because the oversized contents are not under - attacker's control) buffer overflow. - (merge d8579accfa bp/fsmonitor-bufsize-fix later to maint). - - * Recent simplification of build procedure forgot a bit of tweak to - the build procedure of contrib/mw-to-git/ - (merge d8698987f3 ab/simplify-perl-makefile later to maint). - - * Moving a submodule that itself has submodule in it with "git mv" - forgot to make necessary adjustment to the nested sub-submodules; - now the codepath learned to recurse into the submodules. - - * "git config --unset a.b", when "a.b" is the last variable in an - otherwise empty section "a", left an empty section "a" behind, and - worse yet, a subsequent "git config a.c value" did not reuse that - empty shell and instead created a new one. These have been - (partially) corrected. - (merge c71d8bb38a js/empty-config-section-fix later to maint). - - * "git worktree remove" learned that "-f" is a shorthand for - "--force" option, just like for "git worktree add". - (merge d228eea514 sb/worktree-remove-opt-force later to maint). - - * The completion script (in contrib/) learned to clear cached list of - command line options upon dot-sourcing it again in a more efficient - way. - (merge 94408dc71c sg/completion-clear-cached later to maint). - - * "git svn" had a minor thinko/typo which has been fixed. - (merge 51db271587 ab/git-svn-get-record-typofix later to maint). - - * During a "rebase -i" session, the code could give older timestamp - to commits created by later "pick" than an earlier "reword", which - has been corrected. - (merge 12f7babd6b js/ident-date-fix later to maint). - - * "git submodule status" did not check the symbolic revision name it - computed for the submodule HEAD is not the NULL, and threw it at - printf routines, which has been corrected. - (merge 0b5e2ea7cf nd/submodule-status-fix later to maint). - - * When fed input that already has In-Reply-To: and/or References: - headers and told to add the same information, "git send-email" - added these headers separately, instead of appending to an existing - one, which is a violation of the RFC. This has been corrected. - (merge 256be1d3f0 sa/send-email-dedup-some-headers later to maint). - - * "git fast-export" had a regression in v2.15.0 era where it skipped - some merge commits in certain cases, which has been corrected. - (merge be011bbe00 ma/fast-export-skip-merge-fix later to maint). - - * The code did not propagate the terminal width to subprocesses via - COLUMNS environment variable, which it now does. This caused - trouble to "git column" helper subprocess when "git tag --column=row" - tried to list the existing tags on a display with non-default width. - (merge b5d5a567fb nd/term-columns later to maint). - - * We learned that our source files with ".pl" and ".py" extensions - are Perl and Python files respectively and changes to them are - better viewed as such with appropriate diff drivers. - (merge 7818b619e2 ab/perl-python-attrs later to maint). - - * "git rebase -i" sometimes left intermediate "# This is a - combination of N commits" message meant for the human consumption - inside an editor in the final result in certain corner cases, which - has been fixed. - (merge 15ef69314d js/rebase-i-clean-msg-after-fixup-continue later to maint). - - * A test to see if the filesystem normalizes UTF-8 filename has been - updated to check what we need to know in a more direct way, i.e. a - path created in NFC form can be accessed with NFD form (or vice - versa) to cope with APFS as well as HFS. - (merge 742ae10e35 tb/test-apfs-utf8-normalization later to maint). - - * "git format-patch --cover --attach" created a broken MIME multipart - message for the cover letter, which has been fixed by keeping the - cover letter as plain text file. - (merge 50cd54ef4e bc/format-patch-cover-no-attach later to maint). - - * The split-index feature had a long-standing and dormant bug in - certain use of the in-core merge machinery, which has been fixed. - (merge 7db118303a en/unpack-trees-split-index-fix later to maint). - - * Asciidoctor gives a reasonable imitation for AsciiDoc, but does not - render illustration in a literal block correctly when indented with - HT by default. The problem is fixed by forcing 8-space tabs. - (merge 379805051d bc/asciidoctor-tab-width later to maint). - - * Code clean-up to adjust to a more recent lockfile API convention that - allows lockfile instances kept on the stack. - (merge 0fa5a2ed8d ma/lockfile-cleanup later to maint). - - * the_repository->index is not a allocated piece of memory but - repo_clear() indiscriminately attempted to free(3) it, which has - been corrected. - (merge 74373b5f10 nd/repo-clear-keep-the-index later to maint). - - * Code clean-up to avoid non-standard-conformant pointer arithmetic. - (merge c112084af9 rs/no-null-ptr-arith-in-fast-export later to maint). - - * Code clean-up to turn history traversal more robust in a - semi-corrupt repository. - (merge 8702b30fd7 jk/unavailable-can-be-missing later to maint). - - * "git update-ref A B" is supposed to ensure that ref A does not yet - exist when B is a NULL OID, but this check was not done correctly - for pseudo-refs outside refs/ hierarchy, e.g. MERGE_HEAD. - - * "git submodule update" and "git submodule add" supported the - "--reference" option to borrow objects from a neighbouring local - repository like "git clone" does, but lacked the more recent - invention "--dissociate". Also "git submodule add" has been taught - to take the "--progress" option. - (merge a0ef29341a cf/submodule-progress-dissociate later to maint). - - * Update credential-netrc helper (in contrib/) to allow customizing - the GPG used to decrypt the encrypted .netrc file. - (merge 786ef50a23 lm/credential-netrc later to maint). - - * "git submodule update" attempts two different kinds of "git fetch" - against the upstream repository to grab a commit bound at the - submodule's path, but it incorrectly gave up if the first kind - (i.e. a normal fetch) failed, making the second "last resort" one - (i.e. fetching an exact commit object by object name) ineffective. - This has been corrected. - (merge e30d833671 sb/submodule-update-try-harder later to maint). - - * Error behaviour of "git grep" when it cannot read the index was - inconsistent with other commands that uses the index, which has - been corrected to error out early. - (merge b2aa84c789 sb/grep-die-on-unreadable-index later to maint). - - * We used to call regfree() after regcomp() failed in some codepaths, - which have been corrected. - (merge 17154b1576 ma/regex-no-regfree-after-comp-fail later to maint). - - * The import-tars script (in contrib/) has been taught to handle - tarballs with overly long paths that use PAX extended headers. - (merge 12ecea46e3 pa/import-tars-long-names later to maint). - - * "git rev-parse Y..." etc. misbehaved when given endpoints were - not committishes. - (merge 0ed556d38f en/rev-parse-invalid-range later to maint). - - * "git pull --recurse-submodules --rebase", when the submodule - repository's history did not have anything common between ours and - the upstream's, failed to execute. We need to fetch from them to - continue even in such a case. - (merge 4d36f88be7 jt/submodule-pull-recurse-rebase later to maint). - - * "git remote update" can take both a single remote nickname and a - nickname for remote groups, but only one of them was documented. - (merge a97447a42a nd/remote-update-doc later to maint). - - * "index-pack --strict" has been taught to make sure that it runs the - final object integrity checks after making the freshly indexed - packfile available to itself. - (merge 3737746120 jk/index-pack-maint later to maint). - - * Make zlib inflate codepath more robust against versions of zlib - that clobber unused portion of outbuf. - (merge b611396e97 jl/zlib-restore-nul-termination later to maint). - - * Fix old merge glitch in Documentation during v2.13-rc0 era. - (merge 28cb06020b mw/doc-merge-enumfix later to maint). - - * The code to read compressed bitmap was not careful to avoid reading - past the end of the file, which has been corrected. - (merge 1140bf01ec jk/ewah-bounds-check later to maint). - - * "make NO_ICONV=NoThanks" did not override NEEDS_LIBICONV - (i.e. linkage of -lintl, -liconv, etc. that are platform-specific - tweaks), which has been corrected. - (merge fdb1fbbc7d es/make-no-iconv later to maint). - - * Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups. - (merge 248f66ed8e nd/trace-with-env later to maint). - (merge 14ced5562c ys/bisect-object-id-missing-conversion-fix later to maint). - (merge 5988eb631a ab/doc-hash-brokenness later to maint). - (merge a4d4e32a70 pk/test-avoid-pipe-hiding-exit-status later to maint). - (merge 05e293c1ac jk/flockfile-stdio later to maint). - (merge e9184b0789 jk/t5561-missing-curl later to maint). - (merge b1801b85a3 nd/worktree-move later to maint). - (merge bbd374dd20 ak/bisect-doc-typofix later to maint). - (merge 4855f06fb3 mn/send-email-credential-doc later to maint). - (merge 8523b1e355 en/doc-typoes later to maint). - (merge 43b44ccfe7 js/t5404-path-fix later to maint). - (merge decf711fc1 ps/test-chmtime-get later to maint). - (merge 22d11a6e8e es/worktree-docs later to maint). - (merge 92a5dbbc22 tg/use-git-contacts later to maint). - (merge adc887221f tq/t1510 later to maint). - (merge bed21a8ad6 sg/doc-gc-quote-mismatch-fix later to maint). - (merge 73364e4f10 tz/doc-git-urls-reference later to maint). - (merge cd1e606bad bc/mailmap-self later to maint). - (merge f7997e3682 ao/config-api-doc later to maint). - (merge ee930754d8 jk/apply-p-doc later to maint). - (merge 011b648646 nd/pack-format-doc later to maint). - (merge 87a6bb701a sg/t5310-jgit-bitmap-test later to maint). - (merge f6b82970aa sg/t5516-fixes later to maint). - (merge 4362da078e sg/t7005-spaces-in-filenames-cleanup later to maint). - (merge 7d0ee47c11 js/test-unset-prereq later to maint). - (merge 5356a3c354 ah/misc-doc-updates later to maint). - (merge 92c4a7a129 nd/completion-aliasfiletype-typofix later to maint). - (merge 58bd77b66a nd/pack-unreachable-objects-doc later to maint). - (merge 4ed79d5203 sg/t6500-no-redirect-of-stdin later to maint). - (merge 17b8a2d6cd jk/config-blob-sans-repo later to maint). - (merge 590551ca2c rd/tag-doc-lightweight later to maint). - (merge 44f560fc16 rd/init-typo later to maint). - (merge f156a0934a rd/p4-doc-markup-env later to maint). - (merge 2a00502b14 tg/doc-sec-list later to maint). - (merge 47cc91310a jk/submodule-fsck-loose-fixup later to maint). - (merge efde7b725c rd/comment-typofix-in-sha1-file later to maint). - (merge 7eedad15df rd/diff-options-typofix later to maint). - (merge 58ebd936cc km/doc-workflows-typofix later to maint). - (merge 30aa96cdf8 rd/doc-remote-tracking-with-hyphen later to maint). - (merge cf317877e3 ks/branch-set-upstream later to maint). - (merge 8de19d6be8 sg/t7406-chain-fix later to maint). diff --git a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.18.1.txt b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.18.1.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 2098cdd776..0000000000 --- a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.18.1.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,6 +0,0 @@ -Git v2.18.1 Release Notes -========================= - -This release merges up the fixes that appear in v2.14.5 and in -v2.17.2 to address the recently reported CVE-2018-17456;

All of the existing uses of the field has been migrated to a - more dedicated "commit-slab" mechanism and the field is eliminated. - - * A less often used command "git show-index" has been modernized. - (merge fb3010c31f jk/show-index later to maint). - - * The conversion to pass "the_repository" and then "a_repository" - throughout the object access API continues. - - * Continuing with the idea to programmatically enumerate various - pieces of data required for command line completion, teach the - codebase to report the list of configuration variables - subcommands care about to help complete them. - - * Separate "rebase -p" codepath out of "rebase -i" implementation to - slim down the latter and make it easier to manage. - - * Make refspec parsing codepath more robust. - - * Some flaky tests have been fixed. - - * Continuing with the idea to programmatically enumerate various - pieces of data required for command line completion, the codebase - has been taught to enumerate options prefixed with "--no-" to - negate them. - - * Build and test procedure for netrc credential helper (in contrib/) - has been updated. - - * Remove unused function definitions and declarations from ewah - bitmap subsystem. - - * Code preparation to make "git p4" closer to be usable with Python 3. - - * Tighten the API to make it harder to misuse in-tree .gitmodules - file, even though it shares the same syntax with configuration - files, to read random configuration items from it. - - * "git fast-import" has been updated to avoid attempting to create - delta against a zero-byte-long string, which is pointless. - - * The codebase has been updated to compile cleanly with -pedantic - option. - (merge 2b647a05d7 bb/pedantic later to maint). - - * The character display width table has been updated to match the - latest Unicode standard. - (merge 570951eea2 bb/unicode-11-width later to maint). - - * test-lint now looks for broken use of "VAR=VAL shell_func" in test - scripts. - - * Conversion from uchar[40] to struct object_id continues. - - * Recent "security fix" to pay attention to contents of ".gitmodules" - while accepting "git push" was a bit overly strict than necessary, - which has been adjusted. - - * "git fsck" learns to make sure the optional commit-graph file is in - a sane state. - - * "git diff --color-moved" feature has further been tweaked. - - * Code restructuring and a small fix to transport protocol v2 during - fetching. - - * Parsing of -L[<N>][,[<M>]] parameters "git blame" and "git log" - take has been tweaked. - - * lookup_commit_reference() and friends have been updated to find - in-core object for a specific in-core repository instance. - - * Various glitches in the heuristics of merge-recursive strategy have - been documented in new tests. - - * "git fetch" learned a new option "--negotiation-tip" to limit the - set of commits it tells the other end as "have", to reduce wasted - bandwidth and cycles, which would be helpful when the receiving - repository has a lot of refs that have little to do with the - history at the remote it is fetching from. - - * For a large tree, the index needs to hold many cache entries - allocated on heap. These cache entries are now allocated out of a - dedicated memory pool to amortize malloc(3) overhead. - - * Tests to cover various conflicting cases have been added for - merge-recursive. - - * Tests to cover conflict cases that involve submodules have been - added for merge-recursive. - - * Look for broken "&&" chains that are hidden in subshell, many of - which have been found and corrected. - - * The singleton commit-graph in-core instance is made per in-core - repository instance. - - * "make DEVELOPER=1 DEVOPTS=pedantic" allows developers to compile - with -pedantic option, which may catch more problematic program - constructs and potential bugs. - - * Preparatory code to later add json output for telemetry data has - been added. - - * Update the way we use Coccinelle to find out-of-style code that - need to be modernised. - - * It is too easy to misuse system API functions such as strcat(); - these selected functions are now forbidden in this codebase and - will cause a compilation failure. - - * Add a script (in contrib/) to help users of VSCode work better with - our codebase. - - * The Travis CI scripts were taught to ship back the test data from - failed tests. - (merge aea8879a6a sg/travis-retrieve-trash-upon-failure later to maint). - - * The parse-options machinery learned to refrain from enclosing - placeholder string inside a "<bra" and "ket>" pair automatically - without PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP. Existing help text for option - arguments that are not formatted correctly have been identified and - fixed. - (merge 5f0df44cd7 rs/parse-opt-lithelp later to maint). - - * Noiseword "extern" has been removed from function decls in the - header files. - - * A few atoms like %(objecttype) and %(objectsize) in the format - specifier of "for-each-ref --format=<format>" can be filled without - getting the full contents of the object, but just with the object - header. These cases have been optimized by calling - oid_object_info() API (instead of reading and inspecting the data). - - * The end result of documentation update has been made to be - inspected more easily to help developers. - - * The API to iterate over all objects learned to optionally list - objects in the order they appear in packfiles, which helps locality - of access if the caller accesses these objects while as objects are - enumerated. - - * Improve built-in facility to catch broken &&-chain in the tests. - - * The more library-ish parts of the codebase learned to work on the - in-core index-state instance that is passed in by their callers, - instead of always working on the singleton "the_index" instance. - - * A test prerequisite defined by various test scripts with slightly - different semantics has been consolidated into a single copy and - made into a lazily defined one. - (merge 6ec633059a wc/make-funnynames-shared-lazy-prereq later to maint). - - * After a partial clone, repeated fetches from promisor remote would - have accumulated many packfiles marked with .promisor bit without - getting them coalesced into fewer packfiles, hurting performance. - "git repack" now learned to repack them. - - * Partially revert the support for multiple hash functions to regain - hash comparison performance; we'd think of a way to do this better - in the next cycle. - - * "git help --config" (which is used in command line completion) - missed the configuration variables not described in the main - config.txt file but are described in another file that is included - by it, which has been corrected. - - * The test linter code has learned that the end of here-doc mark - "EOF" can be quoted in a double-quote pair, not just in a - single-quote pair. - - -Fixes since v2.18 ------------------ - - * "git remote update" can take both a single remote nickname and a - nickname for remote groups, and the completion script (in contrib/) - has been taught about it. - (merge 9cd4382ad5 ls/complete-remote-update-names later to maint). - - * "git fetch --shallow-since=<cutoff>" that specifies the cut-off - point that is newer than the existing history used to end up - grabbing the entire history. Such a request now errors out. - (merge e34de73c56 nd/reject-empty-shallow-request later to maint). - - * Fix for 2.17-era regression around `core.safecrlf`. - (merge 6cb09125be as/safecrlf-quiet-fix later to maint). - - * The recent addition of "partial clone" experimental feature kicked - in when it shouldn't, namely, when there is no partial-clone filter - defined even if extensions.partialclone is set. - (merge cac1137dc4 jh/partial-clone later to maint). - - * "git send-pack --signed" (hence "git push --signed" over the http - transport) did not read user ident from the config mechanism to - determine whom to sign the push certificate as, which has been - corrected. - (merge d067d98887 ms/send-pack-honor-config later to maint). - - * "git fetch-pack --all" used to unnecessarily fail upon seeing an - annotated tag that points at an object other than a commit. - (merge c12c9df527 jk/fetch-all-peeled-fix later to maint). - - * When user edits the patch in "git add -p" and the user's editor is - set to strip trailing whitespaces indiscriminately, an empty line - that is unchanged in the patch would become completely empty - (instead of a line with a sole SP on it). The code introduced in - Git 2.17 timeframe failed to parse such a patch, but now it learned - to notice the situation and cope with it. - (merge f4d35a6b49 pw/add-p-recount later to maint). - - * The code to try seeing if a fetch is necessary in a submodule - during a fetch with --recurse-submodules got confused when the path - to the submodule was changed in the range of commits in the - superproject, sometimes showing "(null)". This has been corrected. - - * Bugfix for "rebase -i" corner case regression. - (merge a9279c6785 pw/rebase-i-keep-reword-after-conflict later to maint). - - * Recently added "--base" option to "git format-patch" command did - not correctly generate prereq patch ids. - (merge 15b76c1fb3 xy/format-patch-prereq-patch-id-fix later to maint). - - * POSIX portability fix in Makefile to fix a glitch introduced a few - releases ago. - (merge 6600054e9b dj/runtime-prefix later to maint). - - * "git filter-branch" when used with the "--state-branch" option - still attempted to rewrite the commits whose filtered result is - known from the previous attempt (which is recorded on the state - branch); the command has been corrected not to waste cycles doing - so. - (merge 709cfe848a mb/filter-branch-optim later to maint). - - * Clarify that setting core.ignoreCase to deviate from reality would - not turn a case-incapable filesystem into a case-capable one. - (merge 48294b512a ms/core-icase-doc later to maint). - - * "fsck.skipList" did not prevent a blob object listed there from - being inspected for is contents (e.g. we recently started to - inspect the contents of ".gitmodules" for certain malicious - patterns), which has been corrected. - (merge fb16287719 rj/submodule-fsck-skip later to maint). - - * "git checkout --recurse-submodules another-branch" did not report - in which submodule it failed to update the working tree, which - resulted in an unhelpful error message. - (merge ba95d4e4bd sb/submodule-move-head-error-msg later to maint). - - * "git rebase" behaved slightly differently depending on which one of - the three backends gets used; this has been documented and an - effort to make them more uniform has begun. - (merge b00bf1c9a8 en/rebase-consistency later to maint). - - * The "--ignore-case" option of "git for-each-ref" (and its friends) - did not work correctly, which has been fixed. - (merge e674eb2528 jk/for-each-ref-icase later to maint). - - * "git fetch" failed to correctly validate the set of objects it - received when making a shallow history deeper, which has been - corrected. - (merge cf1e7c0770 jt/connectivity-check-after-unshallow later to maint). - - * Partial clone support of "git clone" has been updated to correctly - validate the objects it receives from the other side. The server - side has been corrected to send objects that are directly - requested, even if they may match the filtering criteria (e.g. when - doing a "lazy blob" partial clone). - (merge a7e67c11b8 jt/partial-clone-fsck-connectivity later to maint). - - * Handling of an empty range by "git cherry-pick" was inconsistent - depending on how the range ended up to be empty, which has been - corrected. - (merge c5e358d073 jk/empty-pick-fix later to maint). - - * "git reset --merge" (hence "git merge ---abort") and "git reset --hard" - had trouble working correctly in a sparsely checked out working - tree after a conflict, which has been corrected. - (merge b33fdfc34c mk/merge-in-sparse-checkout later to maint). - - * Correct a broken use of "VAR=VAL shell_func" in a test. - (merge 650161a277 jc/t3404-one-shot-export-fix later to maint). - - * "git rev-parse ':/substring'" did not consider the history leading - only to HEAD when looking for a commit with the given substring, - when the HEAD is detached. This has been fixed. - (merge 6b3351e799 wc/find-commit-with-pattern-on-detached-head later to maint). - - * Build doc update for Windows. - (merge ede8d89bb1 nd/command-list later to maint). - - * core.commentchar is now honored when preparing the list of commits - to replay in "rebase -i". - - * "git pull --rebase" on a corrupt HEAD caused a segfault. In - general we substitute an empty tree object when running the in-core - equivalent of the diff-index command, and the codepath has been - corrected to do so as well to fix this issue. - (merge 3506dc9445 jk/has-uncommitted-changes-fix later to maint). - - * httpd tests saw occasional breakage due to the way its access log - gets inspected by the tests, which has been updated to make them - less flaky. - (merge e8b3b2e275 sg/httpd-test-unflake later to maint). - - * Tests to cover more D/F conflict cases have been added for - merge-recursive. - - * "git gc --auto" opens file descriptors for the packfiles before - spawning "git repack/prune", which would upset Windows that does - not want a process to work on a file that is open by another - process. The issue has been worked around. - (merge 12e73a3ce4 kg/gc-auto-windows-workaround later to maint). - - * The recursive merge strategy did not properly ensure there was no - change between HEAD and the index before performing its operation, - which has been corrected. - (merge 55f39cf755 en/dirty-merge-fixes later to maint). - - * "git rebase" started exporting GIT_DIR environment variable and - exposing it to hook scripts when part of it got rewritten in C. - Instead of matching the old scripted Porcelains' behaviour, - compensate by also exporting GIT_WORK_TREE environment as well to - lessen the damage. This can harm existing hooks that want to - operate on different repository, but the current behaviour is - already broken for them anyway. - (merge ab5e67d751 bc/sequencer-export-work-tree-as-well later to maint). - - * "git send-email" when using in a batched mode that limits the - number of messages sent in a single SMTP session lost the contents - of the variable used to choose between tls/ssl, unable to send the - second and later batches, which has been fixed. - (merge 636f3d7ac5 jm/send-email-tls-auth-on-batch later to maint). - - * The lazy clone support had a few places where missing but promised - objects were not correctly tolerated, which have been fixed. - - * One of the "diff --color-moved" mode "dimmed_zebra" that was named - in an unusual way has been deprecated and replaced by - "dimmed-zebra". - (merge e3f2f5f9cd es/diff-color-moved-fix later to maint). - - * The wire-protocol v2 relies on the client to send "ref prefixes" to - limit the bandwidth spent on the initial ref advertisement. "git - clone" when learned to speak v2 forgot to do so, which has been - corrected. - (merge 402c47d939 bw/clone-ref-prefixes later to maint). - - * "git diff --histogram" had a bad memory usage pattern, which has - been rearranged to reduce the peak usage. - (merge 79cb2ebb92 sb/histogram-less-memory later to maint). - - * Code clean-up to use size_t/ssize_t when they are the right type. - (merge 7726d360b5 jk/size-t later to maint). - - * The wire-protocol v2 relies on the client to send "ref prefixes" to - limit the bandwidth spent on the initial ref advertisement. "git - fetch $remote branch:branch" that asks tags that point into the - history leading to the "branch" automatically followed sent to - narrow prefix and broke the tag following, which has been fixed. - (merge 2b554353a5 jt/tag-following-with-proto-v2-fix later to maint). - - * When the sparse checkout feature is in use, "git cherry-pick" and - other mergy operations lost the skip_worktree bit when a path that - is excluded from checkout requires content level merge, which is - resolved as the same as the HEAD version, without materializing the - merge result in the working tree, which made the path appear as - deleted. This has been corrected by preserving the skip_worktree - bit (and not materializing the file in the working tree). - (merge 2b75fb601c en/merge-recursive-skip-fix later to maint). - - * The "author-script" file "git rebase -i" creates got broken when - we started to move the command away from shell script, which is - getting fixed now. - (merge 5522bbac20 es/rebase-i-author-script-fix later to maint). - - * The automatic tree-matching in "git merge -s subtree" was broken 5 - years ago and nobody has noticed since then, which is now fixed. - (merge 2ec4150713 jk/merge-subtree-heuristics later to maint). - - * "git fetch $there refs/heads/s" ought to fetch the tip of the - branch 's', but when "refs/heads/refs/heads/s", i.e. a branch whose - name is "refs/heads/s" exists at the same time, fetched that one - instead by mistake. This has been corrected to honor the usual - disambiguation rules for abbreviated refnames. - (merge 60650a48c0 jt/refspec-dwim-precedence-fix later to maint). - - * Futureproofing a helper function that can easily be misused. - (merge 65bb21e77e es/want-color-fd-defensive later to maint). - - * The http-backend (used for smart-http transport) used to slurp the - whole input until EOF, without paying attention to CONTENT_LENGTH - that is supplied in the environment and instead expecting the Web - server to close the input stream. This has been fixed. - (merge eebfe40962 mk/http-backend-content-length later to maint). - - * "git merge --abort" etc. did not clean things up properly when - there were conflicted entries in the index in certain order that - are involved in D/F conflicts. This has been corrected. - (merge ad3762042a en/abort-df-conflict-fixes later to maint). - - * "git diff --indent-heuristic" had a bad corner case performance. - (merge 301ef85401 sb/indent-heuristic-optim later to maint). - - * The "--exec" option to "git rebase --rebase-merges" placed the exec - commands at wrong places, which has been corrected. - - * "git verify-tag" and "git verify-commit" have been taught to use - the exit status of underlying "gpg --verify" to signal bad or - untrusted signature they found. - (merge 4e5dc9ca17 jc/gpg-status later to maint). - - * "git mergetool" stopped and gave an extra prompt to continue after - the last path has been handled, which did not make much sense. - (merge d651a54b8a ng/mergetool-lose-final-prompt later to maint). - - * Among the three codepaths we use O_APPEND to open a file for - appending, one used for writing GIT_TRACE output requires O_APPEND - implementation that behaves sensibly when multiple processes are - writing to the same file. POSIX emulation used in the Windows port - has been updated to improve in this area. - (merge d641097589 js/mingw-o-append later to maint). - - * "git pull --rebase -v" in a repository with a submodule barfed as - an intermediate process did not understand what "-v(erbose)" flag - meant, which has been fixed. - (merge e84c3cf3dc sb/pull-rebase-submodule later to maint). - - * Recent update to "git config" broke updating variable in a - subsection, which has been corrected. - (merge bff7df7a87 sb/config-write-fix later to maint). - - * When "git rebase -i" is told to squash two or more commits into - one, it labeled the log message for each commit with its number. - It correctly called the first one "1st commit", but the next one - was "commit #1", which was off-by-one. This has been corrected. - (merge dd2e36ebac pw/rebase-i-squash-number-fix later to maint). - - * "git rebase -i", when a 'merge <branch>' insn in its todo list - fails, segfaulted, which has been (minimally) corrected. - (merge bc9238bb09 pw/rebase-i-merge-segv-fix later to maint). - - * "git cherry-pick --quit" failed to remove CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even - though we won't be in a cherry-pick session after it returns, which - has been corrected. - (merge 3e7dd99208 nd/cherry-pick-quit-fix later to maint). - - * In a recent update in 2.18 era, "git pack-objects" started - producing a larger than necessary packfiles by missing - opportunities to use large deltas. This has been corrected. - - * The meaning of the possible values the "core.checkStat" - configuration variable can take were not adequately documented, - which has been fixed. - (merge 9bf5d4c4e2 nd/config-core-checkstat-doc later to maint). - - * Recent "git rebase -i" update started to write bogusly formatted - author-script, with a matching broken reading code. These are - fixed. - - * Recent addition of "directory rename" heuristics to the - merge-recursive backend makes the command susceptible to false - positives and false negatives.

Also the error reporting behaviour when - daemonized has been updated to exit with zero status when stopping - due to a previously discovered error (which implies there is no - point running gc to improve the situation); we used to exit with - failure in such a case. - - * Various codepaths in the core-ish part learned to work on an - arbitrary in-core index structure, not necessarily the default - instance "the_index". - (merge b3c7eef9b0 nd/the-index later to maint). - - * Code clean-up in the internal machinery used by "git status" and - "git commit --dry-run". - (merge 73ba5d78b4 ss/wt-status-committable later to maint). - - * Some environment variables that control the runtime options of Git - used during tests are getting renamed for consistency. - (merge 4231d1ba99 bp/rename-test-env-var later to maint). - - * A pair of new extensions to the index file have been introduced. - They allow the index file to be read in parallel for performance. - - * The oidset API was built on top of the oidmap API which in turn is - on the hashmap API. Replace the implementation to build on top of - the khash API and gain performance. - - * Over some transports, fetching objects with an exact commit object - name can be done without first seeing the ref advertisements. The - code has been optimized to exploit this. - - * In a partial clone that will lazily be hydrated from the - originating repository, we generally want to avoid "does this - object exist (locally)?" on objects that we deliberately omitted - when we created the clone. The cache-tree codepath (which is used - to write a tree object out of the index) however insisted that the - object exists, even for paths that are outside of the partial - checkout area. The code has been updated to avoid such a check. - - * To help developers, an EditorConfig file that attempts to follow - the project convention has been added. - (merge b548d698a0 bc/editorconfig later to maint). - - * The result of coverage test can be combined with "git blame" to - check the test coverage of code introduced recently with a new - 'coverage-diff' tool (in contrib/). - (merge 783faedd65 ds/coverage-diff later to maint). - - * An experiment to fuzz test a few areas, hopefully we can gain more - coverage to various areas. - - * More codepaths are moving away from hardcoded hash sizes. - - * The way the Windows port figures out the current directory has been - improved. - - * The way DLLs are loaded on the Windows port has been improved. - - * Some tests have been reorganized and renamed; "ls t/" now gives a - better overview of what is tested for these scripts than before. - - * "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" have been reimplemented in C. - - * Windows port learned to use nano-second resolution file timestamps. - - * The overly large Documentation/config.txt file have been split into - million little pieces. This potentially allows each individual piece - to be included into the manual page of the command it affects more easily. - - * Replace three string-list instances used as look-up tables in "git - fetch" with hashmaps. - - * Unify code to read the author-script used in "git am" and the - commands that use the sequencer machinery, e.g. "git rebase -i". - - * In preparation to the day when we can deprecate and remove the - "rebase -p", make sure we can skip and later remove tests for - it. - - * The history traversal used to implement the tag-following has been - optimized by introducing a new helper. - - * The helper function to refresh the cached stat information in the - in-core index has learned to perform the lstat() part of the - operation in parallel on multi-core platforms. - - * The code to traverse objects for reachability, used to decide what - objects are unreferenced and expendable, have been taught to also - consider per-worktree refs of other worktrees as starting points to - prevent data loss. - - * "git add" needs to internally run "diff-files" equivalent, and the - codepath learned the same optimization as "diff-files" has to run - lstat(2) in parallel to find which paths have been updated in the - working tree. - - * The procedure to install dependencies before testing at Travis CI - is getting revamped for both simplicity and flexibility, taking - advantage of the recent move to the vm-based environment. - - * The support for format-patch (and send-email) by the command-line - completion script (in contrib/) has been simplified a bit. - - * The revision walker machinery learned to take advantage of the - commit generation numbers stored in the commit-graph file. - - * The codebase has been cleaned up to reduce "#ifndef NO_PTHREADS". - - * The way -lcurl library gets linked has been simplified by taking - advantage of the fact that we can just ask curl-config command how. - - * Various functions have been audited for "-Wunused-parameter" warnings - and bugs in them got fixed. - - * A sanity check for start-up sequence has been added in the config - API codepath. - - * The build procedure to link for fuzzing test has been made - customizable with a new Makefile variable. - - * The way "git rebase" parses and forwards the command line options - meant for underlying "git am" has been revamped, which fixed for - options with parameters that were not passed correctly. - - * Our testing framework uses a special i18n "poisoned localization" - feature to find messages that ought to stay constant but are - incorrectly marked to be translated. This feature has been made - into a runtime option (it used to be a compile-time option). - - * "git push" used to check ambiguities between object-names and - refnames while processing the list of refs' old and new values, - which was unnecessary (as it knew that it is feeding raw object - names). This has been optimized out. - - * The xcurl_off_t() helper function is used to cast size_t to - curl_off_t, but some compilers gave warnings against the code to - ensure the casting is done without wraparound, when size_t is - narrower than curl_off_t. This warning has been squelched. - - * Code preparation to replace ulong vars with size_t vars where - appropriate continues. - - * The "test installed Git" mode of our test suite has been updated to - work better. - - * A coding convention around the Coccinelle semantic patches to have - two classes to ease code migration process has been proposed and - its support has been added to the Makefile. - - * The "container" mode of TravisCI is going away.

As this is inherently less robust heuristics than the one - based on the content similarity of the file itself (rather than - based on what its neighbours are doing), it sometimes gives an - outcome unexpected by the end users.

The - implementation has been updated to carry necessary information - around in-core to avoid rewriting the same file over and over - unnecessarily. - - * Test framework update to more robustly clean up leftover files and - processes after tests are done. - - * Conversion from unsigned char[20] to struct object_id continues. - - * While running "git diff" in a lazy clone, we can upfront know which - missing blobs we will need, instead of waiting for the on-demand - machinery to discover them one by one. The code learned to aim to - achieve better performance by batching the request for these - promised blobs. - - * During an initial "git clone --depth=..." partial clone, it is - pointless to spend cycles for a large portion of the connectivity - check that enumerates and skips promisor objects (which by - definition is all objects fetched from the other side).

This is now enabled when dangling - objects are requested (which is done by default, but can be - overridden with the "--no-dangling" option). - (merge 8d8c2a5aef jk/fsck-doc later to maint). - - * On platforms where "git fetch" is killed with SIGPIPE (e.g. OSX), - the upload-pack that runs on the other end that hangs up after - detecting an error could cause "git fetch" to die with a signal, - which led to a flaky test. "git fetch" now ignores SIGPIPE during - the network portion of its operation (this is not a problem as we - check the return status from our write(2)s). - (merge 143588949c jk/no-sigpipe-during-network-transport later to maint). - - * A recent update broke "is this object available to us?" check for - well-known objects like an empty tree (which should yield "yes", - even when there is no on-disk object for an empty tree), which has - been corrected. - (merge f06ab027ef jk/virtual-objects-do-exist later to maint). - - * The setup code has been cleaned up to avoid leaks around the - repository_format structure. - (merge e8805af1c3 ma/clear-repository-format later to maint). - - * "git config --type=color ..." is meant to replace "git config --get-color" - but there is a slight difference that wasn't documented, which is - now fixed. - (merge cd8e7593b9 jk/config-type-color-ends-with-lf later to maint). - - * When the "clean" filter can reduce the size of a huge file in the - working tree down to a small "token" (a la Git LFS), there is no - point in allocating a huge scratch area upfront, but the buffer is - sized based on the original file size. The convert mechanism now - allocates very minimum and reallocates as it receives the output - from the clean filter process. - (merge 02156ab031 jh/resize-convert-scratch-buffer later to maint). - - * "git rebase" uses the refs/rewritten/ hierarchy to store its - intermediate states, which inherently makes the hierarchy per - worktree, but it didn't quite work well. - (merge b9317d55a3 nd/rewritten-ref-is-per-worktree later to maint). - - * "git log -L<from>,<to>:<path>" with "-s" did not suppress the patch - output as it should.

The implementation of this logic was broken for - repositories with unusual name, which unfortunately is the norm for - submodules these days. This has been fixed. - (merge f3534c98e4 jt/submodule-repo-is-with-worktree later to maint). - - * AIX shared the same build issues with other BSDs around fileno(fp), - which has been corrected. - (merge ee662bf5c6 cc/aix-has-fileno-as-a-macro later to maint). - - * The autoconf generated configure script failed to use the right - gettext() implementations from -libintl by ignoring useless stub - implementations shipped in some C library, which has been - corrected. - (merge b71e56a683 vk/autoconf-gettext later to maint). - - * Fix index-pack perf test so that the repeated invocations always - run in an empty repository, which emulates the initial clone - situation better. - (merge 775c71e16d jk/p5302-avoid-collision-check-cost later to maint). - - * A "ls-files" that emulates "find" to enumerate files in the working - tree resulted in duplicated Makefile rules that caused the build to - issue an unnecessary warning during a trial build after merge - conflicts are resolved in working tree *.h files but before the - resolved results are added to the index. This has been corrected. - - * "git cherry-pick" (and "revert" that shares the same runtime engine) - that deals with multiple commits got confused when the final step - gets stopped with a conflict and the user concluded the sequence - with "git commit". Attempt to fix it by cleaning up the state - files used by these commands in such a situation. - (merge 4a72486de9 pw/clean-sequencer-state-upon-final-commit later to maint). - - * On a filesystem like HFS+, the names of the refs stored as filesystem - entities may become different from what the end-user expects, just - like files in the working tree get "renamed". Work around the - mismatch by paying attention to the core.precomposeUnicode - configuration. - (merge 8e712ef6fc en/unicode-in-refnames later to maint). - - * The code to generate the multi-pack idx file was not prepared to - see too many packfiles and ran out of open file descriptor, which - has been corrected. - - * To run tests for Git SVN, our scripts for CI used to install the - git-svn package (in the hope that it would bring in the right - dependencies). This has been updated to install the more direct - dependency, namely, libsvn-perl. - (merge db864306cf sg/ci-libsvn-perl later to maint). - - * "git cvsexportcommit" running on msys did not expect cvsnt showed -

Those who need to build with an - old GCC can still use "CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R" - - * Prepare use of reachability index in topological walker that works - on a range (A..B). - - * A new tutorial targeting specifically aspiring git-core - developers has been added. - - * Auto-detect how to tell HP-UX aCC where to use dynamically linked - libraries from at runtime. - - * "git mergetool" and its tests now spawn fewer subprocesses. - - * Dev support update to help tracing out tests. - - * Support to build with MSVC has been updated. - - * "git fetch" that grabs from a group of remotes learned to run the - auto-gc only once at the very end. - - * A handful of Windows build patches have been upstreamed. - - * The code to read state files used by the sequencer machinery for - "git status" has been made more robust against a corrupt or stale - state files. - - * "git for-each-ref" with multiple patterns have been optimized. - - * The tree-walk API learned to pass an in-core repository - instance throughout more codepaths. - - * When one step in multi step cherry-pick or revert is reset or - committed, the command line prompt script failed to notice the - current status, which has been improved. - - * Many GIT_TEST_* environment variables control various aspects of - how our tests are run, but a few followed "non-empty is true, empty - or unset is false" while others followed the usual "there are a few - ways to spell true, like yes, on, etc., and also ways to spell - false, like no, off, etc." convention. - - * Adjust the dir-iterator API and apply it to the local clone - optimization codepath. - - * We have been trying out a few language features outside c89; the - coding guidelines document did not talk about them and instead had - a blanket ban against them. - - * A test helper has been introduced to optimize preparation of test - repositories with many simple commits, and a handful of test - scripts have been updated to use it. - - -Fixes since v2.22 ------------------ - - * A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>" - ought to be relative to the directory "git init" gets invoked in, - but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been - corrected. - - * "git worktree add" used to fail when another worktree connected to - the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected. - - * The ownership rule for the file descriptor to fast-import remote - backend was mixed up, leading to an unrelated file descriptor getting - closed, which has been fixed. - - * A "merge -c" instruction during "git rebase --rebase-merges" should - give the user a chance to edit the log message, even when there is - otherwise no need to create a new merge and replace the existing - one (i.e. fast-forward instead), but did not. Which has been - corrected. - - * Code cleanup and futureproof. - - * More parameter validation. - - * "git update-server-info" used to leave stale packfiles in its - output, which has been corrected. - - * The server side support for "git fetch" used to show incorrect - value for the HEAD symbolic ref when the namespace feature is in - use, which has been corrected. - - * "git am -i --resolved" segfaulted after trying to see a commit as - if it were a tree, which has been corrected. - - * "git bundle verify" needs to see if prerequisite objects exist in - the receiving repository, but the command did not check if we are - in a repository upfront, which has been corrected. - - * "git merge --squash" is designed to update the working tree and the - index without creating the commit, and this cannot be countermanded - by adding the "--commit" option; the command now refuses to work - when both options are given. - - * The data collected by fsmonitor was not properly written back to - the on-disk index file, breaking t7519 tests occasionally, which - has been corrected. - - * Update to Unicode 12.1 width table. - - * The command line to invoke a "git cat-file" command from inside - "git p4" was not properly quoted to protect a caret and running a - broken command on Windows, which has been corrected. - - * "git request-pull" learned to warn when the ref we ask them to pull - from in the local repository and in the published repository are - different. - - * When creating a partial clone, the object filtering criteria is - recorded for the origin of the clone, but this incorrectly used a - hardcoded name "origin" to name that remote; it has been corrected - to honor the "--origin <name>" option. - - * "git fetch" into a lazy clone forgot to fetch base objects that are - necessary to complete delta in a thin packfile, which has been - corrected. - - * The filter_data used in the list-objects-filter (which manages a - lazily sparse clone repository) did not use the dynamic array API - correctly---'nr' is supposed to point at one past the last element - of the array in use. This has been corrected. - - * The description about slashes in gitignore patterns (used to - indicate things like "anchored to this level only" and "only - matches directories") has been revamped. - - * The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end - of the string while parsing %-<hex>-<hex> sequence. - - * The list of for-each like macros used by clang-format has been - updated. - - * "git branch --list" learned to show branches that are checked out - in other worktrees connected to the same repository prefixed with - '+', similar to the way the currently checked out branch is shown - with '*' in front. - (merge 6e9381469e nb/branch-show-other-worktrees-head later to maint). - - * Code restructuring during 2.20 period broke fetching tags via - "import" based transports. - - * The commit-graph file is now part of the "files that the runtime - may keep open file descriptors on, all of which would need to be - closed when done with the object store", and the file descriptor to - an existing commit-graph file now is closed before "gc" finalizes a - new instance to replace it. - - * "git checkout -p" needs to selectively apply a patch in reverse, - which did not work well. - - * Code clean-up to avoid signed integer wraparounds during binary search. - - * "git interpret-trailers" always treated '#' as the comment - character, regardless of core.commentChar setting, which has been - corrected. - - * "git stash show 23" used to work, but no more after getting - rewritten in C; this regression has been corrected. - - * "git rebase --abort" used to leave refs/rewritten/ when concluding - "git rebase -r", which has been corrected. - - * An incorrect list of options was cached after command line - completion failed (e.g. trying to complete a command that requires - a repository outside one), which has been corrected. - - * The code to parse scaled numbers out of configuration files has - been made more robust and also easier to follow. - - * The codepath to compute delta islands used to spew progress output - without giving the callers any way to squelch it, which has been - fixed. - - * Protocol capabilities that go over wire should never be translated, - but it was incorrectly marked for translation, which has been - corrected. The output of protocol capabilities for debugging has - been tweaked a bit. - - * Use "Erase in Line" CSI sequence that is already used in the editor - support to clear cruft in the progress output. - - * "git submodule foreach" did not protect command line options passed - to the command to be run in each submodule correctly, when the - "--recursive" option was in use. - - * The configuration variable rebase.rescheduleFailedExec should be - effective only while running an interactive rebase and should not - affect anything when running a non-interactive one, which was not - the case. This has been corrected. - - * The "git clone" documentation refers to command line options in its - description in the short form; they have been replaced with long - forms to make them more recognisable. - - * Generation of pack bitmaps are now disabled when .keep files exist, - as these are mutually exclusive features. - (merge 7328482253 ew/repack-with-bitmaps-by-default later to maint). - - * "git rm" to resolve a conflicted path leaked an internal message - "needs merge" before actually removing the path, which was - confusing. This has been corrected. - - * "git stash --keep-index" did not work correctly on paths that have - been removed, which has been fixed. - (merge b932f6a5e8 tg/stash-keep-index-with-removed-paths later to maint). - - * Window 7 update ;-) - - * A codepath that reads from GPG for signed object verification read - past the end of allocated buffer, which has been fixed. - - * "git clean" silently skipped a path when it cannot lstat() it; now - it gives a warning. - - * "git push --atomic" that goes over the transport-helper (namely, - the smart http transport) failed to prevent refs to be pushed when - it can locally tell that one of the ref update will fail without - having to consult the other end, which has been corrected. - - * The internal diff machinery can be made to read out of bounds while - looking for --function-context line in a corner case, which has been - corrected. - (merge b777f3fd61 jk/xdiff-clamp-funcname-context-index later to maint). - - * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. - (merge fbec05c210 cc/test-oidmap later to maint). - (merge 7a06fb038c jk/no-system-includes-in-dot-c later to maint). - (merge 81ed2b405c cb/xdiff-no-system-includes-in-dot-c later to maint). - (merge d61e6ce1dd sg/fsck-config-in-doc later to maint). diff --git a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.23.1.txt b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.23.1.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 2083b492ce..0000000000 --- a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.23.1.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,8 +0,0 @@ -Git v2.23.1 Release Notes -========================= - -This release merges up the fixes that appear in v2.14.6, v2.15.4, -v2.17.3, v2.20.2 and in v2.21.1, addressing the security issues -CVE-2019-1348, CVE-2019-1349, CVE-2019-1350, CVE-2019-1351, -CVE-2019-1352, CVE-2019-1353, CVE-2019-1354, CVE-2019-1387, and -CVE-2019-19604; see the release notes for those versions for details. diff --git a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.23.2.txt b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.23.2.txt deleted file mode 100644 index b697cbe0e3..0000000000 --- a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.23.2.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,5 +0,0 @@ -Git v2.23.2 Release Notes -========================= - -This release merges the security fix that appears in v2.17.4; see -the release notes for that version for details. diff --git a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.23.3.txt b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.23.3.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 2e35490137..0000000000 --- a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.23.3.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,5 +0,0 @@ -Git v2.23.3 Release Notes -========================= - -This release merges the security fix that appears in v2.17.5; see -the release notes for that version for details. diff --git a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.24.0.txt b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.24.0.txt deleted file mode 100644 index bde154124c..0000000000 --- a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.24.0.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,398 +0,0 @@ -Git 2.24 Release Notes -====================== - -Updates since v2.23 -------------------- - -Backward compatibility note - - * "filter-branch" is showing its age and alternatives are available. - From this release, we started to discourage its use and hint - people about filter-repo. - -UI, Workflows & Features - - * We now have an active interim maintainer for the Git-Gui part of - the system.

-Updates since v2.28 -------------------- - -UI, Workflows & Features - - * "git help log" has been enhanced by sharing more material from the - documentation for the underlying "git rev-list" command. - - * "git for-each-ref --format=<>" learned %(contents:size). - - * "git merge" learned to selectively omit " into <branch>" at the end - of the title of default merge message with merge.suppressDest - configuration. - - * The component to respond to "git fetch" request is made more - configurable to selectively allow or reject object filtering - specification used for partial cloning. - - * Stop when "sendmail.*" configuration variables are defined, which - could be a mistaken attempt to define "sendemail.*" variables. - - * The existing backends for "git mergetool" based on variants of vim - have been refactored and then support for "nvim" has been added. - - * "git bisect" learns the "--first-parent" option to find the first - breakage along the first-parent chain. - - * "git log --first-parent -p" showed patches only for single-parent - commits on the first-parent chain; the "--first-parent" option has - been made to imply "-m". Use "--no-diff-merges" to restore the - previous behaviour to omit patches for merge commits. - - * The commit labels used to explain each side of conflicted hunks - placed by the sequencer machinery have been made more readable by - humans. - - * The "--batch-size" option of "git multi-pack-index repack" command - is now used to specify that very small packfiles are collected into - one until the total size roughly exceeds it. - - * The recent addition of SHA-256 support is marked as experimental in - the documentation. - - * "git fetch" learned --no-write-fetch-head option to avoid writing - the FETCH_HEAD file. - - * Command line completion (in contrib/) usually omits redundant, - deprecated and/or dangerous options from its output; it learned to - optionally include all of them. - - * The output from the "diff" family of the commands had abbreviated - object names of blobs involved in the patch, but its length was not - affected by the --abbrev option. Now it is. - - * "git worktree" gained a "repair" subcommand to help users recover - after moving the worktrees or repository manually without telling - Git. Also, "git init --separate-git-dir" no longer corrupts - administrative data related to linked worktrees. - - * The "--format=" option to the "for-each-ref" command and friends - learned a few more tricks, e.g. the ":short" suffix that applies to - "objectname" now also can be used for "parent", "tree", etc. - - * "git worktree add" learns that the "-d" is a synonym to "--detach" - option to create a new worktree without being on a branch. - - * "format-patch --range-diff=<prev> <origin>..HEAD" has been taught - not to ignore <origin> when <prev> is a single version. - - * "add -p" now allows editing paths that were only added in intent. - - * The 'meld' backend of the "git mergetool" learned to give the - underlying 'meld' the '--auto-merge' option, which would help - reduce the amount of text that requires manual merging. - - * "git for-each-ref" and friends that list refs used to allow only - one --merged or --no-merged to filter them; they learned to take - combination of both kind of filtering. - - * "git maintenance", a "git gc"'s big brother, has been introduced to - take care of more repository maintenance tasks, not limited to the - object database cleaning. - - * "git receive-pack" that accepts requests by "git push" learned to - outsource most of the ref updates to the new "proc-receive" hook. - - * "git push" that wants to be atomic and wants to send push - certificate learned not to prepare and sign the push certificate - when it fails the local check (hence due to atomicity it is known - that no certificate is needed). - - * "git commit-graph write" learned to limit the number of bloom - filters that are computed from scratch with the --max-new-filters - option. - - * The transport protocol v2 has become the default again. - - * The installation procedure learned to optionally omit "git-foo" - executable files for each 'foo' built-in subcommand, which are only - required by old timers that still rely on the age old promise that - prepending "git --exec-path" output to PATH early in their script - will keep the "git-foo" calls they wrote working. - - * The command line completion (in contrib/) learned that "git restore - -s <TAB>" is often followed by a refname. - - * "git shortlog" has been taught to group commits by the contents of - the trailer lines, like "Reviewed-by:", "Coauthored-by:", etc. - - * "git archive" learns the "--add-file" option to include untracked - files into a snapshot from a tree-ish. - - * "git fetch" and "git push" support negative refspecs. - - * "git format-patch" learns to take "whenAble" as a possible value - for the format.useAutoBase configuration variable to become no-op - when the automatically computed base does not make sense. - - * Credential helpers are now allowed to terminate lines with CRLF - line ending, as well as LF line ending. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. - - * The changed-path Bloom filter is improved using ideas from an - independent implementation. - - * Updates to the changed-paths bloom filter. - - * The test framework has been updated so that most tests will run - with predictable (artificial) timestamps. - - * Preliminary clean-up of the refs API in preparation for adding a - new refs backend "reftable". - - * Dev support to limit the use of test_must_fail to only git commands. - - * While packing many objects in a repository with a promissor remote, - lazily fetching missing objects from the promissor remote one by - one may be inefficient---the code now attempts to fetch all the - missing objects in batch (obviously this won't work for a lazy - clone that lazily fetches tree objects as you cannot even enumerate - what blobs are missing until you learn which trees are missing). - - * The pretend-object mechanism checks if the given object already - exists in the object store before deciding to keep the data - in-core, but the check would have triggered lazy fetching of such - an object from a promissor remote. - - * The argv_array API is useful for not just managing argv but any - "vector" (NULL-terminated array) of strings, and has seen adoption - to a certain degree. It has been renamed to "strvec" to reduce the - barrier to adoption. - - * The final leg of SHA-256 transition plus doc updates. Note that - there is no interoperability between SHA-1 and SHA-256 - repositories yet. - - * CMake support to build with MSVC for Windows bypassing the Makefile. - - * A new helper function has_object() has been introduced to make it - easier to mark object existence checks that do and don't want to - trigger lazy fetches, and a few such checks are converted using it. - - * A no-op replacement function implemented as a C preprocessor macro - does not perform as good a job as one implemented as a "static - inline" function in catching errors in parameters; replace the - former with the latter in <git-compat-util.h> header. - - * Test framework update. - (merge d572f52a64 es/test-cmp-typocatcher later to maint). - - * Updates to "git merge" tests, in preparation for a new merge - strategy backend. - - * midx and commit-graph files now use the byte defined in their file - format specification for identifying the hash function used for - object names. - - * The FETCH_HEAD is now always read from the filesystem regardless of - the ref backend in use, as its format is much richer than the - normal refs, and written directly by "git fetch" as a plain file.. - - * An unused binary has been discarded, and and a bunch of commands - have been turned into into built-in. - - * A handful of places in in-tree code still relied on being able to - execute the git subcommands, especially built-ins, in "git-foo" - form, which have been corrected. - - * When a packfile is removed by "git repack", multi-pack-index gets - cleared; the code was taught to do so less aggressively by first - checking if the midx actually refers to a pack that no longer - exists. - - * Internal API clean-up to handle two options "diff-index" and "log" - have, which happen to share the same short form, more sensibly. - - * The "add -i/-p" machinery has been written in C but it is not used - by default yet. It is made default to those who are participating - in feature.experimental experiment. - - * Allow maintainers to tweak $(TAR) invocations done while making - distribution tarballs. - - * "git index-pack" learned to resolve deltified objects with greater - parallelism. - - * "diff-highlight" (in contrib/) had a logic to flush its output upon - seeing a blank line but the way it detected a blank line was broken. - - * The logic to skip testing on the tagged commit and the tag itself - was not quite consistent which led to failure of Windows test - tasks. It has been revamped to consistently skip revisions that - have already been tested, based on the tree object of the revision. - - -Fixes since v2.28 ------------------ - - * The "mediawiki" remote backend which lives in contrib/mw-to-git/ - and is not built with git by default, had an RCE bug allowing a - malicious MediaWiki server operator to inject arbitrary commands - for execution by a cloning client. This has been fixed. - - The bug was discovered and reported by Joern Schneeweisz of GitLab - to the git-security mailing list. Its practical impact due to the - obscurity of git-remote-mediawiki was deemed small enough to forgo - a dedicated security release. - - * "git clone --separate-git-dir=$elsewhere" used to stomp on the - contents of the existing directory $elsewhere, which has been - taught to fail when $elsewhere is not an empty directory. - (merge dfaa209a79 bw/fail-cloning-into-non-empty later to maint). - - * With the base fix to 2.27 regresion, any new extensions in a v0 - repository would still be silently honored, which is not quite - right. Instead, complain and die loudly. - (merge ec91ffca04 jk/reject-newer-extensions-in-v0 later to maint). - - * Fetching from a lazily cloned repository resulted at the server - side in attempts to lazy fetch objects that the client side has, - many of which will not be available from the third-party anyway. - (merge 77aa0941ce jt/avoid-lazy-fetching-upon-have-check later to maint). - - * Fix to an ancient bug caused by an over-eager attempt for - optimization. - (merge a98f7fb366 rs/add-index-entry-optim-fix later to maint). - - * Pushing a ref whose name contains non-ASCII character with the - "--force-with-lease" option did not work over smart HTTP protocol, - which has been corrected. - (merge cd85b447bf bc/push-cas-cquoted-refname later to maint). - - * "git mv src dst", when src is an unmerged path, errored out - correctly but with an incorrect error message to claim that src is - not tracked, which has been clarified. - (merge 9b906af657 ct/mv-unmerged-path-error later to maint). - - * Fix to a regression introduced during 2.27 cycle. - (merge cada7308ad en/fill-directory-exponential later to maint). - - * Command line completion (in contrib/) update. - (merge 688b87c81b mp/complete-show-color-moved later to maint). - - * All "mergy" operations that internally use the merge-recursive - machinery should honor the merge.renormalize configuration, but - many of them didn't. - - * Doc cleanup around "worktree". - (merge dc9c144be5 es/worktree-doc-cleanups later to maint). - - * The "git blame --first-parent" option was not documented, but now - it is. - (merge 11bc12ae1e rp/blame-first-parent-doc later to maint). - - * The logic to find the ref transaction hook script attempted to - cache the path to the found hook without realizing that it needed - to keep a copied value, as the API it used returned a transitory - buffer space. This has been corrected. - (merge 09b2aa30c9 ps/ref-transaction-hook later to maint). - - * Recent versions of "git diff-files" shows a diff between the index - and the working tree for "intent-to-add" paths as a "new file" - patch; "git apply --cached" should be able to take "git diff-files" - and should act as an equivalent to "git add" for the path, but the - command failed to do so for such a path. - (merge 4c025c667e rp/apply-cached-with-i-t-a later to maint). - - * "git diff [<tree-ish>] $path" for a $path that is marked with i-t-a - bit was not showing the mode bits from the working tree. - (merge cb0dd22b82 rp/ita-diff-modefix later to maint). - - * Ring buffer with size 4 used for bin-hex translation resulted in a - wrong object name in the sequencer's todo output, which has been - corrected. - (merge 5da69c0dac ak/sequencer-fix-find-uniq-abbrev later to maint). - - * When given more than one target line ranges, "git blame -La,b - -Lc,d" was over-eager to coalesce groups of original lines and - showed incorrect results, which has been corrected. - (merge c2ebaa27d6 jk/blame-coalesce-fix later to maint). - - * The regexp to identify the function boundary for FORTRAN programs - has been updated. - (merge 75c3b6b2e8 pb/userdiff-fortran-update later to maint). - - * A few end-user facing messages have been updated to be - hash-algorithm agnostic. - (merge 4279000d3e jc/object-names-are-not-sha-1 later to maint). - - * "unlink" emulation on MinGW has been optimized. - (merge 680e0b4524 jh/mingw-unlink later to maint). - - * The purpose of "git init --separate-git-dir" is to initialize a - new project with the repository separate from the working tree, - or, in the case of an existing project, to move the repository - (the .git/ directory) out of the working tree. It does not make - sense to use --separate-git-dir with a bare repository for which - there is no working tree, so disallow its use with bare - repositories. - (merge ccf236a23a es/init-no-separate-git-dir-in-bare later to maint). - - * "ls-files -o" mishandled the top-level directory of another git - working tree that hangs in the current git working tree. - (merge ab282aa548 en/dir-nonbare-embedded later to maint). - - * Fix some incorrect UNLEAK() annotations. - (merge 3e19816dc0 jk/unleak-fixes later to maint). - - * Use more buffered I/O where we used to call many small write(2)s. - (merge a698d67b08 rs/more-buffered-io later to maint). - - * The patch-id computation did not ignore the "incomplete last line" - marker like whitespaces. - (merge 82a62015a7 rs/patch-id-with-incomplete-line later to maint). - - * Updates into a lazy/partial clone with a submodule did not work - well with transfer.fsckobjects set. - - * The parser for "git for-each-ref --format=..." was too loose when - parsing the "%(trailers...)" atom, and forgot that "trailers" and - "trailers:<modifiers>" are the only two allowed forms, which has - been corrected. - (merge 2c22e102f8 hv/ref-filter-trailers-atom-parsing-fix later to maint). - - * Long ago, we decided to use 3 threads by default when running the - index-pack task in parallel, which has been adjusted a bit upwards. - (merge fbff95b67f jk/index-pack-w-more-threads later to maint). - - * "git restore/checkout --no-overlay" with wildcarded pathspec - mistakenly removed matching paths in subdirectories, which has been - corrected. - (merge bfda204ade rs/checkout-no-overlay-pathspec-fix later to maint). - - * The description of --cached/--index options in "git apply --help" - has been updated. - (merge d064702be3 rp/apply-cached-doc later to maint). - - * Feeding "$ZERO_OID" to "git log --ignore-missing --stdin", and - running "git log --ignore-missing $ZERO_OID" fell back to start - digging from HEAD; it has been corrected to become a no-op, like - "git log --tags=no-tag-matches-this-pattern" does. - (merge 04a0e98515 jk/rev-input-given-fix later to maint). - - * Various callers of run_command API have been modernized. - (merge afbdba391e jc/run-command-use-embedded-args later to maint). - - * List of options offered and accepted by "git add -i/-p" were - inconsistent, which have been corrected. - (merge ce910287e7 pw/add-p-allowed-options-fix later to maint). - - * "git diff --stat -w" showed 0-line changes for paths whose changes - were only whitespaces, which was not intuitive. We now omit such - paths from the stat output. - (merge 1cf3d5db9b mr/diff-hide-stat-wo-textual-change later to maint). - - * It was possible for xrealloc() to send a non-NULL pointer that has - been freed, which has been fixed. - (merge 6479ea4a8a jk/xrealloc-avoid-use-after-free later to maint). - - * "git status" has trouble showing where it came from by interpreting - reflog entries that record certain events, e.g. "checkout @{u}", and - gives a hard/fatal error. Even though it inherently is impossible - to give a correct answer because the reflog entries lose some - information (e.g. "@{u}" does not record what branch the user was - on hence which branch 'the upstream' needs to be computed, and even - if the record were available, the relationship between branches may - have changed), at least hide the error and allow "status" to show its - output. - - * "git status --short" quoted a path with SP in it when tracked, but - not those that are untracked, ignored or unmerged. They are all - shown quoted consistently. - - * "git diff/show" on a change that involves a submodule used to read - the information on commits in the submodule from a wrong repository - and gave a wrong information when the commit-graph is involved. - (merge 85a1ec2c32 mf/submodule-summary-with-correct-repository later to maint). - - * Unlike "git config --local", "git config --worktree" did not fail - early and cleanly when started outside a git repository. - (merge 378fe5fc3d mt/config-fail-nongit-early later to maint). - - * There is a logic to estimate how many objects are in the - repository, which is meant to run once per process invocation, but - it ran every time the estimated value was requested. - (merge 67bb65de5d jk/dont-count-existing-objects-twice later to maint). - - * "git remote set-head" that failed still said something that hints - the operation went through, which was misleading. - (merge 5a07c6c3c2 cs/don-t-pretend-a-failed-remote-set-head-succeeded later to maint). - - * "git fetch --all --ipv4/--ipv6" forgot to pass the protocol options - to instances of the "git fetch" that talk to individual remotes, - which has been corrected. - (merge 4e735c1326 ar/fetch-ipversion-in-all later to maint). - - * The "unshelve" subcommand of "git p4" incorrectly used commit^N - where it meant to say commit~N to name the Nth generation - ancestor, which has been corrected. - (merge 0acbf5997f ld/p4-unshelve-fix later to maint). - - * "git clone" that clones from SHA-1 repository, while - GIT_DEFAULT_HASH set to use SHA-256 already, resulted in an - unusable repository that half-claims to be SHA-256 repository - with SHA-1 objects and refs. This has been corrected. - - * Adjust sample hooks for hash algorithm other than SHA-1. - (merge d8d3d632f4 dl/zero-oid-in-hooks later to maint). - - * "git range-diff" showed incorrect diffstat, which has been - corrected. - - * Earlier we taught "git pull" to warn when the user does not say the - histories need to be merged, rebased or accepts only fast- - forwarding, but the warning triggered for those who have set the - pull.ff configuration variable. - (merge 54200cef86 ah/pull later to maint). - - * Compilation fix around type punning. - (merge 176380fd11 jk/drop-unaligned-loads later to maint). - - * "git blame --ignore-rev/--ignore-revs-file" failed to validate - their input are valid revision, and failed to take into account - that the user may want to give an annotated tag instead of a - commit, which has been corrected. - (merge 610e2b9240 jc/blame-ignore-fix later to maint). - - * "git bisect start X Y", when X and Y are not valid committish - object names, should take X and Y as pathspec, but didn't. - (merge 73c6de06af cc/bisect-start-fix later to maint). - - * The explanation of the "scissors line" has been clarified. - (merge 287416dba6 eg/mailinfo-doc-scissors later to maint). - - * A race that leads to an access to a free'd data was corrected in - the codepath that reads pack files. - (merge bda959c476 mt/delta-base-cache-races later to maint). - - * in_merge_bases_many(), a way to see if a commit is reachable from - any commit in a set of commits, was totally broken when the - commit-graph feature was in use, which has been corrected. - (merge 8791bf1841 ds/in-merge-bases-many-optim-bug later to maint). - - * "git submodule update --quiet" did not squelch underlying "rebase" - and "pull" commands. - (merge 3ad0401e9e td/submodule-update-quiet later to maint). - - * The lazy fetching done internally to make missing objects available - in a partial clone incorrectly made permanent damage to the partial - clone filter in the repository, which has been corrected. - - * "log -c --find-object=X" did not work well to find a merge that - involves a change to an object X from only one parent. - (merge 957876f17d jk/diff-cc-oidfind-fix later to maint). - - * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. - (merge 84544f2ea3 sk/typofixes later to maint). -

The above is now - shown as: - - $ git log --decorate -1 master - commit bdb0f6788fa5e3cacc4315e9ff318a27b2676ff4 (HEAD -> master) - ... - - * The phrasing "git branch" uses to describe a detached HEAD has been - updated to agree with the phrasing used by "git status": - - - When HEAD is at the same commit as when it was originally - detached, they now both show "detached at <commit object name>". - - - When HEAD has moved since it was originally detached, they now - both show "detached from <commit object name>". - - Previously, "git branch" always used "from". - - -Updates since v2.3 ------------------- - -Ports - - * Our default I/O size (8 MiB) for large files was too large for some - platforms with smaller SSIZE_MAX, leading to read(2)/write(2) - failures. - - * We did not check the curl library version before using the - CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH feature, which did not exist in older versions of - the library. - - * We now detect number of CPUs on older BSD-derived systems. - - * Portability fixes and workarounds for shell scripts have been added - to help BSD-derived systems. - - -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 an "--atomic" option that makes a push - that updates more than one ref an "all-or-none" affair. - - * Extending the "push to deploy" feature that was added in 2.3, the - behaviour of "git push" when updating the branch that is checked - out can now be tweaked by a "push-to-checkout" hook. - - * HTTP-based transports now send Accept-Language when making - requests. The languages to accept are inferred from environment - variables on the client side (LANGUAGE, etc). - - * "git send-email" used to accept a mistaken "y" (or "yes") as an - answer to "What encoding do you want to use [UTF-8]?" without - questioning. Now it asks for confirmation when the answer looks too - short to be a valid encoding name. - - * When "git apply --whitespace=fix" fixed whitespace errors in the - common context lines, the command reports that it did so. - - * "git status" now allows the "-v" option to be given twice, in which - case it also shows the differences in the working tree that are not - staged to be committed. - - * "git cherry-pick" used to clean up the log message even when it is - merely replaying an existing commit. It now replays the message - verbatim unless you are editing the message of the resulting - commit. - - * "git archive" can now be told to set the 'text' attribute in the - resulting zip archive. - - * Output from "git log --decorate" now distinguishes between a - detached HEAD vs. a HEAD that points at a branch. - - This is a potentially backward-incompatible change; see above for - more information. - - * When HEAD was detached when at commit xyz and hasn't been moved - since it was detached, "git status" would report "detached at xyz" - whereas "git branch" would report "detached from xyz". Now the - output of "git branch" agrees with that of "git status". - - This is a potentially backward-incompatible change; see above for - more information. - - * "git -C '' subcmd" now works in the current directory (analogously - to "cd ''") rather than dying with an error message. - (merge 6a536e2 kn/git-cd-to-empty later to maint). - - * The versionsort.prereleaseSuffix configuration variable can be used - to specify that, for example, v1.0-pre1 comes before v1.0. - - * A new "push.followTags" configuration turns the "--follow-tags" - option on by default for the "git push" command. - - * "git log --graph --no-walk A B..." is a nonsensical combination of - options: "--no-walk" requests discrete points in the history, while - "--graph" asks to draw connections between these discrete points. - Forbid the use of these options together. - - * "git rev-list --bisect --first-parent" does not work (yet) and can - even cause SEGV; forbid it. "git log --bisect --first-parent" would - not be useful until "git bisect --first-parent" materializes, so - also forbid it for now. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. - - * Slightly change the implementation of the N_() macro to help us - detect mistakes. - - * Restructure the implementation of "reflog expire" to fit better - with the recently updated reference API. - - * The transport-helper did not pass transport options such as - verbosity, progress, cloning, etc. to import and export based - helpers, like it did for fetch and push based helpers, robbing them - of the chance to honor the wish of the end-users better. - - * The tests that wanted to see that a file becomes unreadable after - running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure - that they are not run as root, used "can we write into the / - directory?" as a cheap substitute. But on some platforms that is - not a good heuristic. The tests and their prerequisites have been - updated to check what they really require. - (merge f400e51 jk/sanity later to maint). - - * Various issues around "reflog expire", e.g. using --updateref when - expiring a reflog for a symbolic reference, have been corrected - and/or made saner. - - * The documentation for the strbuf API had been split between the API - documentation and the header file. Consolidate the documentation in - strbuf.h. - - * The error handling functions and conventions are now documented in - the API manual (in api-error-handling.txt). - - * Optimize gitattribute look-up, mostly useful in "git grep" on a - project that does not use many attributes, by avoiding it when we - (should) know that the attributes are not defined in the first - place. - - * Typofix in comments. - (merge ef2956a ak/git-pm-typofix later to maint). - - * Code clean-up. - (merge 0b868f0 sb/hex-object-name-is-at-most-41-bytes-long later to maint). - (merge 5d30851 dp/remove-duplicated-header-inclusion later to maint). - - * Simplify the ref transaction API for verifying that "the ref should - be pointing at this object". - - * Simplify the code in "git daemon" that parses out and holds - hostnames used in request interpolation. - - * Restructure the "git push" codepath to make it easier to add new - configuration bits. - - * The run-command interface made it easy to make a pipe for us to - read from a process, wait for the process to finish, and then - attempt to read its output. But this pattern can lead to deadlock. - So introduce a helper to do this correctly (i.e., first read, and - then wait the process to finish) and also add code to prevent such - abuse in the run-command helper. - - * People often forget to chain the commands in their test together - with &&, letting a failure from an earlier command in the test go - unnoticed. The new GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT mechanism allows you to - catch such a mistake more easily. - - -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 it attempted to update the working - tree files but failed 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 for the "--repo=<there>" option was - easily misunderstood. - (merge 57b92a7 mg/push-repo-option-doc later to maint). - - * Code to read a branch name from various files in the .git/ - directory would have overrun array limits if asked to read an empty - file. - (merge 66ec904 jk/status-read-branch-name-fix later to maint). - - * Remove a superfluous conditional that is always true. - (merge 94ee8e2 jk/remote-curl-an-array-in-struct-cannot-be-null later to maint). - - * The "git diff --raw" documentation incorrectly implied that C(opy) - and R(ename) are the only statuses that can be followed by a score - number. - (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 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 used by "git add -i" unnecessarily prompted 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 todo list created by "git rebase -i" 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 the "list" - command could not fetch from a symbolic reference (e.g., HEAD). - (merge 33cae54 mh/deref-symref-over-helper-transport later to maint). - - * "git push --signed" gave an incorrectly worded error message when - the other side did not support the capability. - - * The "git push --signed" protocol extension did not limit what the - "nonce" (a server-chosen string) could contain nor how long it - could be, which was unnecessarily lax. Limit both the length and - the alphabet to a reasonably small space that can still have enough - entropy. - (merge afcb6ee jc/push-cert later to maint). - - * The completion script (in contrib/) clobbered the shell variable $x - in the global shell namespace. - (merge 852ff1c ma/bash-completion-leaking-x later to maint). - - * We incorrectly formatted a "uintmax_t" integer that doesn't fit in - "int". - (merge d306f3d jk/decimal-width-for-uintmax later to maint). - - * The configuration parser used to be confused when reading - configuration from a blob object that ends with a lone CR. - (merge 1d0655c jk/config-no-ungetc-eof later to maint). - - * The pack bitmap support did not build with older versions of GCC. - (merge bd4e882 jk/pack-bitmap later to maint). - - * The documentation wasn't clear that "remote.<nick>.pushURL" and - "remote.<nick>.URL" are there to name the same repository accessed - via different transports, not two separate repositories. - (merge 697f652 jc/remote-set-url-doc later to maint). - - * Older GnuPG implementations may not correctly import the keyring - material we prepare for the tests to use. - (merge 1f985d6 ch/new-gpg-drops-rfc-1991 later to maint). - - * The credential helper for Windows (in contrib/) used to mishandle - user names that contain an at-sign. - (merge 13d261e av/wincred-with-at-in-username-fix later to maint). - - * "diff-highlight" (in contrib/) used to show byte-by-byte - differences, which could cause multi-byte characters to be chopped - in the middle.

The version merged - to the 'master' branch earlier had a performance regression in "tag - --contains", which has since been corrected. - - * Because "test_when_finished" in our test framework queues the - clean-up tasks to be done in a shell variable, it should not be - used inside a subshell. Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch - such uses, and fix the ones that were found. - - * The debugging infrastructure for pkt-line based communication has - been improved to mark the side-band communication specifically. - - * Update "git branch" that list existing branches, using the - ref-filter API that is shared with "git tag" and "git - for-each-ref". - - * The test for various line-ending conversions has been enhanced. - - * A few test scripts around "git p4" have been improved for - portability. - - * Many allocations that is manually counted (correctly) that are - followed by strcpy/sprintf have been replaced with a less error - prone constructs such as xstrfmt. - - * The internal stripspace() function has been moved to where it - logically belongs to, i.e. strbuf API, and the command line parser - of "git stripspace" has been updated to use the parse_options API. - - * "git am" used to spawn "git mailinfo" via run_command() API once - per each patch, but learned to make a direct call to mailinfo() - instead. - - * The implementation of "git mailinfo" was refactored so that a - mailinfo() function can be directly called from inside a process. - - * With a "debug" helper, debugging of a single "git" invocation in - our test scripts has become a lot easier. - - * The "configure" script did not test for -lpthread correctly, which - upset some linkers. - - * Cross completed task off of subtree project's todo list. - - * Test cleanups for the subtree project. - - * Clean up style in an ancient test t9300. - - * Work around some test flakiness with p4d. - - * Fsck did not correctly detect a NUL-truncated header in a tag. - - * Use a safer behavior when we hit errors verifying remote certificates. - - * Speed up filter-branch for cases where we only care about rewriting - commits, not tree data. - - * The parse-options API has been updated to make "-h" command line - option work more consistently in all commands. - - * "git svn rebase/mkdirs" got optimized by keeping track of empty - directories better. - - * Fix some racy client/server tests by treating SIGPIPE the same as a - normal non-zero exit. - - * The necessary infrastructure to build topics using the free Travis - CI has been added. Developers forking from this topic (and enabling - Travis) can do their own builds, and we can turn on auto-builds for - git/git (including build-status for pull requests that people - open). - - * The write(2) emulation for Windows learned to set errno to EPIPE - when necessary. - - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v2.6 ----------------- - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.6 in the maintenance -track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' -notes for details). - - * Very small number of options take a parameter that is optional - (which is not a great UI element as they can only appear at the end - of the command line). Add notice to documentation of each and - every one of them. - - * "git blame --first-parent v1.0..v2.0" was not rejected but did not - limit the blame to commits on the first parent chain. - - * "git subtree" (in contrib/) now can take whitespaces in the - pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of the - directory that the repository is in. - - * The ssh transport, just like any other transport over the network, - did not clear GIT_* environment variables, but it is possible to - use SendEnv and AcceptEnv to leak them to the remote invocation of - Git, which is not a good idea at all. Explicitly clear them just - like we do for the local transport. - - * Correct "git p4 --detect-labels" so that it does not fail to create - a tag that points at a commit that is also being imported. - - * The Makefile always runs the library archiver with hardcoded "crs" - options, which was inconvenient for exotic platforms on which - people want to use programs with totally different set of command - line options. - - * Customization to change the behaviour with "make -w" and "make -s" - in our Makefile was broken when they were used together. - - * Allocation related functions and stdio are unsafe things to call - inside a signal handler, and indeed killing the pager can cause - glibc to deadlock waiting on allocation mutex as our signal handler - tries to free() some data structures in wait_for_pager(). Reduce - these unsafe calls. - - * The way how --ref/--notes to specify the notes tree reference are - DWIMmed was not clearly documented. - - * "git gc" used to barf when a symbolic ref has gone dangling - (e.g. the branch that used to be your upstream's default when you - cloned from it is now gone, and you did "fetch --prune"). - - * "git clone --dissociate" runs a big "git repack" process at the - end, and it helps to close file descriptors that are open on the - packs and their idx files before doing so on filesystems that - cannot remove a file that is still open. - - * Description of the "log.follow" configuration variable in "git log" - documentation is now also copied to "git config" documentation. - - * "git rebase -i" had a minor regression recently, which stopped - considering a line that begins with an indented '#' in its insn - sheet not a comment. Further, the code was still too picky on - Windows where CRLF left by the editor is turned into a trailing CR - on the line read via the "read" built-in command of bash. Both of - these issues are now fixed. - - * After "git checkout --detach", "git status" reported a fairly - useless "HEAD detached at HEAD", instead of saying at which exact - commit. - - * When "git send-email" wanted to talk over Net::SMTP::SSL, - Net::Cmd::datasend() did not like to be fed too many bytes at the - same time and failed to send messages. Send the payload one line - at a time to work around the problem. - - * When "git am" was rewritten as a built-in, it stopped paying - attention to user.signingkey, which was fixed. - - * It was not possible to use a repository-lookalike created by "git - worktree add" as a local source of "git clone". - - * On a case insensitive filesystems, setting GIT_WORK_TREE variable - using a random cases that does not agree with what the filesystem - thinks confused Git that it wasn't inside the working tree. - - * Performance-measurement tests did not work without an installed Git. - - * A test script for the HTTP service had a timing dependent bug, - which was fixed. - - * There were some classes of errors that "git fsck" diagnosed to its - standard error that did not cause it to exit with non-zero status. - - * Work around "git p4" failing when the P4 depot records the contents - in UTF-16 without UTF-16 BOM. - - * When "git gc --auto" is backgrounded, its diagnosis message is - lost. Save it to a file in $GIT_DIR and show it next time the "gc - --auto" is run. - - * The submodule code has been taught to work better with separate - work trees created via "git worktree add". - - * "git gc" is safe to run anytime only because it has the built-in - grace period to protect young objects. In order to run with no - grace period, the user must make sure that the repository is - quiescent. - - * A recent "filter-branch --msg-filter" broke skipping of the commit - object header, which is fixed. - - * The normalize_ceiling_entry() function does not muck with the end - of the path it accepts, and the real world callers do rely on that, - but a test insisted that the function drops a trailing slash. - - * A test for interaction between untracked cache and sparse checkout - added in Git 2.5 days were flaky. - - * A couple of commands still showed "[options]" in their usage string - to note where options should come on their command line, but we - spell that "[<options>]" in most places these days. - - * The synopsis text and the usage string of subcommands that read - list of things from the standard input are often shown as if they - only take input from a file on a filesystem, which was misleading. - - * "git am -3" had a small regression where it is aborted in its error - handling codepath when underlying merge-recursive failed in certain - ways, as it assumed that the internal call to merge-recursive will - never die, which is not the case (yet). - - * The linkage order of libraries was wrong in places around libcurl. - - * The name-hash subsystem that is used to cope with case insensitive - filesystems keeps track of directories and their on-filesystem - cases for all the paths in the index by holding a pointer to a - randomly chosen cache entry that is inside the directory (for its - ce->ce_name component). This pointer was not updated even when the - cache entry was removed from the index, leading to use after free. - This was fixed by recording the path for each directory instead of - borrowing cache entries and restructuring the API somewhat. - - * "git merge-file" tried to signal how many conflicts it found, which - obviously would not work well when there are too many of them. - - * The error message from "git blame --contents --reverse" incorrectly - talked about "--contents --children". - - * "git imap-send" did not compile well with older version of cURL library. - - * Merging a branch that removes a path and another that changes the - mode bits on the same path should have conflicted at the path, but - it didn't and silently favoured the removal. - - * "git --literal-pathspecs add -u/-A" without any command line - argument misbehaved ever since Git 2.0. - - * "git daemon" uses "run_command()" without "finish_command()", so it - needs to release resources itself, which it forgot to do. - - * "git status --branch --short" accessed beyond the constant string - "HEAD", which has been corrected. - - * We peek objects from submodule's object store by linking it to the - list of alternate object databases, but the code to do so forgot to - correctly initialize the list. - - * The code to prepare the working tree side of temporary directory - for the "dir-diff" feature forgot that symbolic links need not be - copied (or symlinked) to the temporary area, as the code already - special cases and overwrites them. Besides, it was wrong to try - computing the object name of the target of symbolic link, which may - not even exist or may be a directory. - - * A Range: request can be responded with a full response and when - asked properly libcurl knows how to strip the result down to the - requested range. However, we were hand-crafting a range request - and it did not kick in. - - * Having a leftover .idx file without corresponding .pack file in - the repository hurts performance; "git gc" learned to prune them. - - * Apple's common crypto implementation of SHA1_Update() does not take - more than 4GB at a time, and we now have a compile-time workaround - for it. - - * Produce correct "dirty" marker for shell prompts, even when we - are on an orphan or an unborn branch. - - * A build without NO_IPv6 used to use gethostbyname() when guessing - user's hostname, instead of getaddrinfo() that is used in other - codepaths in such a build. - - * The exit code of git-fsck did not reflect some types of errors - found in packed objects, which has been corrected. - - * The helper used to iterate over loose object directories to prune - stale objects did not closedir() immediately when it is done with a - directory--a callback such as the one used for "git prune" may want - to do rmdir(), but it would fail on open directory on platforms - such as WinXP. - - * "git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths outside - the client spec as empty commits. It has been corrected to ignore - them instead, with a new configuration git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a - backward compatibility knob. - - * The completion script (in contrib/) used to list "git column" - (which is not an end-user facing command) as one of the choices - (merge 160fcdb sg/completion-no-column later to maint). - - * The error reporting from "git send-email", when SMTP TLS fails, has - been improved. - (merge 9d60524 jk/send-email-ssl-errors later to maint). - - * When getpwuid() on the system returned NULL (e.g. the user is not - in the /etc/passwd file or other uid-to-name mappings), the - codepath to find who the user is to record it in the reflog barfed - and died.

We no longer warn because the - transition was completed a long time ago. - - * README has been renamed to README.md and its contents got tweaked - slightly to make it easier on the eyes. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. - - * Add a framework to spawn a group of processes in parallel, and use - it to run "git fetch --recurse-submodules" in parallel. - - * A slight update to the Makefile to mark ".PHONY" targets as such - correctly. - - * In-core storage of the reverse index for .pack files (which lets - you go from a pack offset to an object name) has been streamlined. - - * d95138e6 (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like - $GIT_DIR, 2015-06-26) attempted to work around a glitch in alias - handling by overwriting GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable to - affect subprocesses when set_git_work_tree() gets called, which - resulted in a rather unpleasant regression to "clone" and "init". - Try to address the same issue by always restoring the environment - and respawning the real underlying command when handling alias. - - * The low-level code that is used to create symbolic references has - been updated to share more code with the code that deals with - normal references. - - * strbuf_getline() and friends have been redefined to make it easier - to identify which callsite of (new) strbuf_getline_lf() should - allow and silently ignore carriage-return at the end of the line to - help users on DOSsy systems. - - * "git shortlog" used to accumulate various pieces of information - regardless of what was asked to be shown in the final output. It - has been optimized by noticing what need not to be collected - (e.g. there is no need to collect the log messages when showing - only the number of changes). - - * "git checkout $branch" (and other operations that share the same - underlying machinery) has been optimized. - - * Automated tests in Travis CI environment has been optimized by - persisting runtime statistics of previous "prove" run, executing - tests that take longer before other ones; this reduces the total - wallclock time. - - * Test scripts have been updated to remove assumptions that are not - portable between Git for POSIX and Git for Windows, or to skip ones - with expectations that are not satisfiable on Git for Windows. - - * Some calls to strcpy(3) triggers a false warning from static - analyzers that are less intelligent than humans, and reducing the - number of these false hits helps us notice real issues. A few - calls to strcpy(3) in a couple of programs that are already safe - has been rewritten to avoid false warnings. - - * The "name_path" API was an attempt to reduce the need to construct - the full path out of a series of path components while walking a - tree hierarchy, but over time made less efficient because the path - needs to be flattened, e.g. to be compared with another path that - is already flat. The API has been removed and its users have been - rewritten to simplify the overall code complexity. - - * Help those who debug http(s) part of the system. - (merge 0054045 sp/remote-curl-ssl-strerror later to maint). - - * The internal API to interact with "remote.*" configuration - variables has been streamlined. - - * The ref-filter's format-parsing code has been refactored, in - preparation for "branch --format" and friends. - - * Traditionally, the tests that try commands that work on the - contents in the working tree were named with "worktree" in their - filenames, but with the recent addition of "git worktree" - subcommand, whose tests are also named similarly, it has become - harder to tell them apart. The traditional tests have been renamed - to use "work-tree" instead in an attempt to differentiate them. - (merge 5549029 mg/work-tree-tests later to maint). - - * Many codepaths forget to check return value from git_config_set(); - the function is made to die() to make sure we do not proceed when - setting a configuration variable failed. - (merge 3d18064 ps/config-error later to maint). - - * Handling of errors while writing into our internal asynchronous - process has been made more robust, which reduces flakiness in our - tests. - (merge 43f3afc jk/epipe-in-async later to maint). - - * There is a new DEVELOPER knob that enables many compiler warning - options in the Makefile. - - * The way the test scripts configure the Apache web server has been - updated to work also for Apache 2.4 running on RedHat derived - distros. - - * Out of maintenance gcc on OSX 10.6 fails to compile the code in - 'master'; work it around by using clang by default on the platform. - - * The "name_path" API was an attempt to reduce the need to construct - the full path out of a series of path components while walking a - tree hierarchy, but over time made less efficient because the path - needs to be flattened, e.g. to be compared with another path that - is already flat, in many cases. The API has been removed and its - users have been rewritten to simplify the overall code complexity. - This incidentally also closes some heap-corruption holes. - - * Recent versions of GNU grep is pickier than before to decide if a - file is "binary" and refuse to give line-oriented hits when we - expect it to, unless explicitly told with "-a" option. As our - scripted Porcelains use sane_grep wrapper for line-oriented data, - even when the line may contain non-ASCII payload we took from - end-user data, use "grep -a" to implement sane_grep wrapper when - using an implementation of "grep" that takes the "-a" option. - - - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v2.7 ----------------- - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.7 in the maintenance -track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' -notes for details). - - * An earlier change in 2.5.x-era broke users' hooks and aliases by - exporting GIT_WORK_TREE to point at the root of the working tree, - interfering when they tried to use a different working tree without - setting GIT_WORK_TREE environment themselves. - - * The "exclude_list" structure has the usual "alloc, nr" pair of - fields to be used by ALLOC_GROW(), but clear_pattern_list() forgot - to reset 'alloc' to 0 when it cleared 'nr' to discard the managed - array. - - * Paths that have been told the index about with "add -N" are not - quite yet in the index, but a few commands behaved as if they - already are in a harmful way. - - * "git send-email" was confused by escaped quotes stored in the alias - files saved by "mutt", which has been corrected. - - * A few non-portable C construct have been spotted by clang compiler - and have been fixed. - - * The documentation has been updated to hint the connection between - the '--signoff' option and DCO. - - * "git reflog" incorrectly assumed that all objects that used to be - at the tip of a ref must be commits, which caused it to segfault. - - * The ignore mechanism saw a few regressions around untracked file - listing and sparse checkout selection areas in 2.7.0; the change - that is responsible for the regression has been reverted. - - * Some codepaths used fopen(3) when opening a fixed path in $GIT_DIR - (e.g. COMMIT_EDITMSG) that is meant to be left after the command is - done. This however did not work well if the repository is set to - be shared with core.sharedRepository and the umask of the previous - user is tighter. They have been made to work better by calling - unlink(2) and retrying after fopen(3) fails with EPERM. - - * Asking gitweb for a nonexistent commit left a warning in the server - log. - - Somebody may want to follow this up with an additional test, perhaps? - IIRC, we do test that no Perl warnings are given to the server log, - so this should have been caught if our test coverage were good. - - * "git rebase", unlike all other callers of "gc --auto", did not - ignore the exit code from "gc --auto". - - * Many codepaths that run "gc --auto" before exiting kept packfiles - mapped and left the file descriptors to them open, which was not - friendly to systems that cannot remove files that are open. They - now close the packs before doing so. - - * A recent optimization to filter-branch in v2.7.0 introduced a - regression when --prune-empty filter is used, which has been - corrected. - - * The description for SANITY prerequisite the test suite uses has - been clarified both in the comment and in the implementation. - - * "git tag" started listing a tag "foo" as "tags/foo" when a branch - named "foo" exists in the same repository; remove this unnecessary - disambiguation, which is a regression introduced in v2.7.0. - - * The way "git svn" uses auth parameter was broken by Subversion - 1.9.0 and later. - - * The "split" subcommand of "git subtree" (in contrib/) incorrectly - skipped merges when it shouldn't, which was corrected. - - * A few options of "git diff" did not work well when the command was - run from a subdirectory. - - * The command line completion learned a handful of additional options - and command specific syntax. - - * dirname() emulation has been added, as Msys2 lacks it. - - * The underlying machinery used by "ls-files -o" and other commands - has been taught not to create empty submodule ref cache for a - directory that is not a submodule. This removes a ton of wasted - CPU cycles. - - * "git worktree" had a broken code that attempted to auto-fix - possible inconsistency that results from end-users moving a - worktree to different places without telling Git (the original - repository needs to maintain back-pointers to its worktrees, - but "mv" run by end-users who are not familiar with that fact - will obviously not adjust them), which actually made things - worse when triggered. - - * The low-level merge machinery has been taught to use CRLF line - termination when inserting conflict markers to merged contents that - are themselves CRLF line-terminated. - - * "git push --force-with-lease" has been taught to report if the push - needed to force (or fast-forwarded). - - * The emulated "yes" command used in our test scripts has been - tweaked not to spend too much time generating unnecessary output - that is not used, to help those who test on Windows where it would - not stop until it fills the pipe buffer due to lack of SIGPIPE. - - * The documentation for "git clean" has been corrected; it mentioned - that .git/modules/* are removed by giving two "-f", which has never - been the case. - - * The vimdiff backend for "git mergetool" has been tweaked to arrange - and number buffers in the order that would match the expectation of - majority of people who read left to right, then top down and assign - buffers 1 2 3 4 "mentally" to local base remote merge windows based - on that order. - - * "git show 'HEAD:Foo[BAR]Baz'" did not interpret the argument as a - rev, i.e. the object named by the the pathname with wildcard - characters in a tree object. - (merge aac4fac nd/dwim-wildcards-as-pathspecs later to maint). - - * "git rev-parse --git-common-dir" used in the worktree feature - misbehaved when run from a subdirectory. - (merge 17f1365 nd/git-common-dir-fix later to maint). - - * "git worktree add -B <branchname>" did not work. - - * The "v(iew)" subcommand of the interactive "git am -i" command was - broken in 2.6.0 timeframe when the command was rewritten in C. - (merge 708b8cc jc/am-i-v-fix later to maint). - - * "git merge-tree" used to mishandle "both sides added" conflict with - its own "create a fake ancestor file that has the common parts of - what both sides have added and do a 3-way merge" logic; this has - been updated to use the usual "3-way merge with an empty blob as - the fake common ancestor file" approach used in the rest of the - system. - (merge 907681e jk/no-diff-emit-common later to maint). - - * The memory ownership rule of fill_textconv() API, which was a bit - tricky, has been documented a bit better. - (merge a64e6a4 jk/more-comments-on-textconv later to maint). - - * Update various codepaths to avoid manually-counted malloc(). - (merge 08c95df jk/tighten-alloc later to maint). - - * The documentation did not clearly state that the 'simple' mode is - now the default for "git push" when push.default configuration is - not set. - (merge f6b1fb3 mm/push-simple-doc later to maint). - - * Recent versions of GNU grep are pickier when their input contains - arbitrary binary data, which some of our tests uses.

We already hide `--patch` option - from the documentation, because format-patch is about showing the - diff, and the documentation now hides these options as well. - - * When running "git blame $path" with unnormalized data in the index - for the path, the data in the working tree was blamed, even though - "git add" would not have changed what is already in the index, due - to "safe crlf" that disables the line-end conversion. It has been - corrected. - - * A change back in version 2.7 to "git branch" broke display of a - symbolic ref in a non-standard place in the refs/ hierarchy (we - expect symbolic refs to appear in refs/remotes/*/HEAD to point at - the primary branch the remote has, and as .git/HEAD to point at the - branch we locally checked out). - - * A partial rewrite of "git submodule" in the 2.7 timeframe changed - the way the gitdir: pointer in the submodules point at the real - repository location to use absolute paths by accident. This has - been corrected. - - * "git commit" misbehaved in a few minor ways when an empty message - is given via -m '', all of which has been corrected. - - * Support for CRAM-MD5 authentication method in "git imap-send" did - not work well. - - * Upcoming OpenSSL 1.1.0 will break compilation by updating a few API - elements we use in imap-send, which has been adjusted for the change. - - * The socks5:// proxy support added back in 2.6.4 days was not aware - that socks5h:// proxies behave differently from socks5:// proxies. - - * "git config" had a codepath that tried to pass a NULL to - printf("%s"), which nobody seems to have noticed. - - * On Cygwin, object creation uses the "create a temporary and then - rename it to the final name" pattern, not "create a temporary, - hardlink it to the final name and then unlink the temporary" - pattern. - - This is necessary to use Git on Windows shared directories, and is - already enabled for the MinGW and plain Windows builds. It also - has been used in Cygwin packaged versions of Git for quite a while. - See https://lore.kernel.org/git/20160419091055.GF2345@dinwoodie.org/ - - * "merge-octopus" strategy did not ensure that the index is clean - when merge begins. - - * When "git merge" notices that the merge can be resolved purely at - the tree level (without having to merge blobs) and the resulting - tree happens to already exist in the object store, it forgot to - update the index, which left an inconsistent state that would - break later operations. - - * "git submodule" reports the paths of submodules the command - recurses into, but these paths were incorrectly reported when - the command was not run from the root level of the superproject. - - * The "user.useConfigOnly" configuration variable makes it an error - if users do not explicitly set user.name and user.email. However, - its check was not done early enough and allowed another error to - trigger, reporting that the default value we guessed from the - system setting was unusable. This was a suboptimal end-user - experience as we want the users to set user.name/user.email without - relying on the auto-detection at all. - - * "git mv old new" did not adjust the path for a submodule that lives - as a subdirectory inside old/ directory correctly. - - * "git replace -e" did not honour "core.editor" configuration. - - * "git push" from a corrupt repository that attempts to push a large - number of refs deadlocked; the thread to relay rejection notices - for these ref updates blocked on writing them to the main thread, - after the main thread at the receiving end notices that the push - failed and decides not to read these notices and return a failure. - - * mmap emulation on Windows has been optimized and work better without - consuming paging store when not needed. - - * A question by "git send-email" to ask the identity of the sender - has been updated. - - * UI consistency improvements for "git mergetool". - - * "git rebase -m" could be asked to rebase an entire branch starting - from the root, but failed by assuming that there always is a parent - commit to the first commit on the branch. - - * Fix a broken "p4 lfs" test. - - * Recent update to Git LFS broke "git p4" by changing the output from - its "lfs pointer" subcommand. - - * "git fetch" test t5510 was flaky while running a (forced) automagic - garbage collection. - - * Documentation updates to help contributors setting up Travis CI - test for their patches. - - * Some multi-byte encoding can have a backslash byte as a later part - of one letter, which would confuse "highlight" filter used in - gitweb. - - * "git commit-tree" plumbing command required the user to always sign - its result when the user sets the commit.gpgsign configuration - variable, which was an ancient mistake. Rework "git rebase" that - relied on this mistake so that it reads commit.gpgsign and pass (or - not pass) the -S option to "git commit-tree" to keep the end-user - expectation the same, while teaching "git commit-tree" to ignore - the configuration variable. This will stop requiring the users to - sign commit objects used internally as an implementation detail of - "git stash". - - * "http.cookieFile" configuration variable clearly wants a pathname, - but we forgot to treat it as such by e.g. applying tilde expansion. - - * Consolidate description of tilde-expansion that is done to - configuration variables that take pathname to a single place. - - * Correct faulty recommendation to use "git submodule deinit ." when - de-initialising all submodules, which would result in a strange - error message in a pathological corner case. - - * Many 'linkgit:<git documentation page>' references were broken, - which are all fixed with this. - - * "git rerere" can get confused by conflict markers deliberately left - by the inner merge step, because they are indistinguishable from - the real conflict markers left by the outermost merge which are - what the end user and "rerere" need to look at. This was fixed by - making the conflict markers left by the inner merges a bit longer. - (merge 0f9fd5c jc/ll-merge-internal later to maint). - - * CI test was taught to build documentation pages. - - * "git fsck" learned to catch NUL byte in a commit object as - potential error and warn. - - * Portability enhancement for "rebase -i" to help platforms whose - shell does not like "for i in <empty>" (which is not POSIX-kosher). - - * On Windows, .git and optionally any files whose name starts with a - dot are now marked as hidden, with a core.hideDotFiles knob to - customize this behaviour. - - * Documentation for "git merge --verify-signatures" has been updated - to clarify that the signature of only the commit at the tip is - verified. Also the phrasing used for signature and key validity is - adjusted to align with that used by OpenPGP. - - * A couple of bugs around core.autocrlf have been fixed. - - * Many commands normalize command line arguments from NFD to NFC - variant of UTF-8 on OSX, but commands in the "diff" family did - not, causing "git diff $path" to complain that no such path is - known to Git. They have been taught to do the normalization. - - * "git difftool" learned to handle unmerged paths correctly in - dir-diff mode. - - * The "are we talking with TTY, doing an interactive session?" - detection has been updated to work better for "Git for Windows". - - * We forgot to add "git log --decorate=auto" to documentation when we - added the feature back in v2.1.0 timeframe. - (merge 462cbb4 rj/log-decorate-auto later to maint). - - * "git fast-import --export-marks" would overwrite the existing marks - file even when it makes a dump from its custom die routine. - Prevent it from doing so when we have an import-marks file but - haven't finished reading it. - (merge f4beed6 fc/fast-import-broken-marks-file later to maint). - - * "git rebase -i", after it fails to auto-resolve the conflict, had - an unnecessary call to "git rerere" from its very early days, which - was spotted recently; the call has been removed. - (merge 7063693 js/rebase-i-dedup-call-to-rerere later to maint). - - * Other minor clean-ups and documentation updates - (merge cd82b7a pa/cherry-pick-doc-typo later to maint). - (merge 2bb73ae rs/patch-id-use-skip-prefix later to maint). - (merge aa20cbc rs/apply-name-terminate later to maint). - (merge fe17fc0 jc/t2300-setup later to maint). - (merge e256eec jk/shell-portability later to maint). diff --git a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.9.1.txt b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.9.1.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 338394097e..0000000000 --- a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.9.1.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,117 +0,0 @@ -Git v2.9.1 Release Notes -======================== - -Fixes since v2.9 ----------------- - - * 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.

This has been corrected by tweaking - the API to allocate and return a new copy of "struct option" array. - - * The use of strbuf in "git rm" to build filename to remove was a bit - suboptimal, which has been fixed. - - * "git commit --help" said "--no-verify" is only about skipping the - pre-commit hook, and failed to say that it also skipped the - commit-msg hook. - - * "git merge" in Git v2.9 was taught to forbid merging an unrelated - lines of history by default, but that is exactly the kind of thing - the "--rejoin" mode of "git subtree" (in contrib/) wants to do. - "git subtree" has been taught to use the "--allow-unrelated-histories" - option to override the default. - - * The build procedure for "git persistent-https" helper (in contrib/) - has been updated so that it can be built with more recent versions - of Go. - - * There is an optimization used in "git diff $treeA $treeB" to borrow - an already checked-out copy in the working tree when it is known to - be the same as the blob being compared, expecting that open/mmap of - such a file is faster than reading it from the object store, which - involves inflating and applying delta.
