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 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. - - * 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 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 to - 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. - - * "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 to adjacent - hunks, but the code forgot to do so in some cases. - - * Performance tests done via "t/perf" did not use the same set of - 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 "-- " e-mail signature - line, which turned out to be inconvenient. The base information - has been moved above the signature line. - - * Even when "git pull --rebase=preserve" (and the underlying "git - rebase --preserve") can complete without creating any new commit - (i.e. fast-forwards), it still insisted on having a 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. - - * 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"). - - * "git add --chmod=+x" added recently lacked documentation, which has - been corrected. - - * "git add --chmod=+x <pathspec>" added recently only toggled the - executable bit for paths that are either new or modified. This has - been corrected to flip the executable bit for all paths that match - the given pathspec. - - * "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. - - * Documentation around tools to import from CVS was fairly outdated. - - * 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 ai_canonname - field in struct addrinfo without making sure it is not NULL first. - -Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
