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 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. - - * The code that parses header fields in the commit object has been - updated for (micro)performance and code hygiene. - - * A test that creates a confusing branch whose name is HEAD has been - corrected not to do so. - - * "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. - - * "git push" had a handful of codepaths that could lead to a deadlock - when unexpected error happened, which has been fixed. - - * Code to read submodule.<name>.ignore config did not state the - variable name correctly when giving an error message diagnosing - misconfiguration. - - * "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. - - * 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). - - * 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. - This supersedes jc/config-case-cmdline topic that has been discarded. - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
