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 multile 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. + + * Some platforms no longer understand "latin-1" that is still seen in + the wild in e-mail headers; replace them with "iso-8859-1" that is + more widely known when conversion fails from/to it. + + * Update the procedure to generate "tags" for developer support. + + * Update the definition of the MacOSX test environment used by + TravisCI. + + * A few git-svn updates. + + * 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. + + * Tighten a test to avoid mistaking an extended ERE regexp engine as + a PRE regexp engine. + + * 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. + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
