Praise and thank Pratyush Yadav for volunteering. - - * The command line parser learned "--end-of-options" notation; the - standard convention for scripters to have hardcoded set of options - first on the command line, and force the command to treat end-user - input as non-options, has been to use "--" as the delimiter, but - that would not work for commands that use "--" as a delimiter - between revs and pathspec. - - * A mechanism to affect the default setting for a (related) group of - configuration variables is introduced. - - * "git fetch" learned "--set-upstream" option to help those who first - clone from their private fork they intend to push to, add the true - upstream via "git remote add" and then "git fetch" from it. - - * Device-tree files learned their own userdiff patterns. - (merge 3c81760bc6 sb/userdiff-dts later to maint). - - * "git rebase --rebase-merges" learned to drive different merge - strategies and pass strategy specific options to them. - - * A new "pre-merge-commit" hook has been introduced. - - * Command line completion updates for "git -c var.name=val" have been - added. - - * The lazy clone machinery has been taught that there can be more - than one promisor remote and consult them in order when downloading - missing objects on demand. - - * The list-objects-filter API (used to create a sparse/lazy clone) - learned to take a combined filter specification. - - * The documentation and tests for "git format-patch" have been - cleaned up. - - * On Windows, the root level of UNC share is now allowed to be used - just like any other directory. - - * The command line completion support (in contrib/) learned about the - "--skip" option of "git revert" and "git cherry-pick". - - * "git rebase --keep-base <upstream>" tries to find the original base - of the topic being rebased and rebase on top of that same base, - which is useful when running the "git rebase -i" (and its limited - variant "git rebase -x"). - - The command also has learned to fast-forward in more cases where it - can instead of replaying to recreate identical commits. - - * A configuration variable tells "git fetch" to write the commit - graph after finishing. - - * "git add -i" has been taught to show the total number of hunks and - the hunks that has been processed so far when showing prompts. - - * "git fetch --jobs=<n>" allowed <n> parallel jobs when fetching - submodules, but this did not apply to "git fetch --multiple" that - fetches from multiple remote repositories. It now does. - - * The installation instruction for zsh completion script (in - contrib/) has been a bit improved. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. - - * The code to write commit-graph over given commit object names has - been made a bit more robust. - - * The first line of verbose output from each test piece now carries - the test name and number to help scanning with eyeballs. - - * Further clean-up of the initialization code. - - * xmalloc() used to have a mechanism to ditch memory and address - space resources as the last resort upon seeing an allocation - failure from the underlying malloc(), which made the code complex - and thread-unsafe with dubious benefit, as major memory resource - users already do limit their uses with various other mechanisms. - It has been simplified away. - - * Unnecessary full-tree diff in "git log -L" machinery has been - optimized away. - - * The http transport lacked some optimization the native transports - learned to avoid unnecessary ref advertisement, which has been - corrected. - - * Preparation for SHA-256 upgrade continues in the test department. - (merge 0c37c41d13 bc/hash-independent-tests-part-5 later to maint). - - * The memory ownership model of the "git fast-import" got - straightened out. - - * Output from trace2 subsystem is formatted more prettily now. - - * The internal code originally invented for ".gitignore" processing - got reshuffled and renamed to make it less tied to "excluding" and - stress more that it is about "matching", as it has been reused for - things like sparse checkout specification that want to check if a - path is "included". - - * "git stash" learned to write refreshed index back to disk. - - * Coccinelle checks are done on more source files than before now. - - * The cache-tree code has been taught to be less aggressive in - attempting to see if a tree object it computed already exists in - the repository. - - * The code to parse and use the commit-graph file has been made more - robust against corrupted input. - - * The hg-to-git script (in contrib/) has been updated to work with - Python 3. - - * Update the way build artifacts in t/helper/ directory are ignored. - - * Preparation for SHA-256 upgrade continues. - - * "git log --graph" for an octopus merge is sometimes colored - incorrectly, which is demonstrated and documented but not yet - fixed. - - * The trace2 output, when sending them to files in a designated - directory, can populate the directory with too many files; a - mechanism is introduced to set the maximum number of files and - discard further logs when the maximum is reached. - - * We have adopted a Code-of-conduct document. - (merge 3f9ef874a7 jk/coc later to maint). - - -Fixes since v2.23 ------------------ - - * "git grep --recurse-submodules" that looks at the working tree - files looked at the contents in the index in submodules, instead of - files in the working tree. - (merge 6a289d45c0 mt/grep-submodules-working-tree later to maint). - - * Codepaths to walk tree objects have been audited for integer - overflows and hardened. - (merge 5aa02f9868 jk/tree-walk-overflow later to maint). - - * "git pack-refs" can lose refs that are created while running, which - is getting corrected. - (merge a613d4f817 sc/pack-refs-deletion-racefix later to maint). - - * "git checkout" and "git restore" to re-populate the index from a - tree-ish (typically HEAD) did not work correctly for a path that - was removed and then added again with the intent-to-add bit, when - the corresponding working tree file was empty. This has been - corrected. - - * Compilation fix. - (merge 70597e8386 rs/nedalloc-fixlets later to maint). - - * "git gui" learned to call the clean-up procedure before exiting. - (merge 0d88f3d2c5 py/git-gui-do-quit later to maint). - - * We promoted the "indent heuristics" that decides where to split - diff hunks from experimental to the default a few years ago, but - some stale documentation still marked it as experimental, which has - been corrected. - (merge 64e5e1fba1 sg/diff-indent-heuristic-non-experimental later to maint). - - * Fix a mismerge that happened in 2.22 timeframe. - (merge acb7da05ac en/checkout-mismerge-fix later to maint). -

commits from submodule projects, while still working in the - superproject, which has been corrected. - (merge a63694f523 jt/diff-lazy-fetch-submodule-fix later to maint). - - * Prepare get_short_oid() codepath to be thread-safe. - (merge 7cfcb16b0e rs/sort-oid-array-thread-safe later to maint). - - * "for-each-ref" and friends that show refs did not protect themselves - against ancient tags that did not record tagger names when asked to - show "%(taggername)", which have been corrected. - (merge 8b3f33ef11 mp/for-each-ref-missing-name-or-email later to maint). - - * The "git am" based backend of "git rebase" ignored the result of - updating ".gitattributes" done in one step when replaying - subsequent steps. - (merge 2c65d90f75 bc/reread-attributes-during-rebase later to maint). - - * Tell cURL library to use the same malloc() implementation, with the - xmalloc() wrapper, as the rest of the system, for consistency. - (merge 93b980e58f cb/curl-use-xmalloc later to maint). - - * Build fix to adjust .gitignore to unignore a path that we started to track. - (merge aac6ff7b5b js/visual-studio later to maint). - - * A few implementation fixes in the notes API. -

- * Update support for Asciidoctor documentation toolchain. - (merge 83b0b8953e ma/asciidoctor-refmiscinfo later to maint). - - * Start using DocBook 5 (instead of DocBook 4.5) as Asciidoctor 2.0 - no longer works with the older one. - (merge f6461b82b9 bc/doc-use-docbook-5 later to maint). - - * The markup used in user-manual has been updated to work better with - asciidoctor. - (merge c4d2f6143a ma/user-manual-markup-update later to maint). - - * Make sure the grep machinery does not abort when seeing a payload - that is not UTF-8 even when JIT is not in use with PCRE1. - (merge ad7c543e3b cb/skip-utf8-check-with-pcre1 later to maint). - - * The name of the blob object that stores the filter specification - for sparse cloning/fetching was interpreted in a wrong place in the - code, causing Git to abort. - - * "git log --decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>" was incorrectly - overruled when the "--simplify-by-decoration" option is used, which - has been corrected. - (merge 0cc7380d88 rs/simplify-by-deco-with-deco-refs-exclude later to maint). - - * The "upload-pack" (the counterpart of "git fetch") needs to disable - commit-graph when responding to a shallow clone/fetch request, but - the way this was done made Git panic, which has been corrected. - - * The object traversal machinery has been optimized not to load tree - objects when we are only interested in commit history. - (merge 72ed80c784 jk/list-objects-optim-wo-trees later to maint). - - * The object name parser for "Nth parent" syntax has been made more - robust against integer overflows. - (merge 59fa5f5a25 rs/nth-parent-parse later to maint). - - * The code used in following tags in "git fetch" has been optimized. -

symbolic link is merged with a branch that replaces it with a - directory has been fixed. - (merge 83e3ad3b12 jt/merge-recursive-symlink-is-not-a-dir-in-way later to maint). - - * The rename detection logic sorts a list of rename source candidates - by similarity to pick the best candidate, which means that a tie - between sources with the same similarity is broken by the original - location in the original candidate list (which is sorted by path). - Force the sorting by similarity done with a stable sort, which is - not promised by system supplied qsort(3), to ensure consistent - results across platforms. - (merge 2049b8dc65 js/diff-rename-force-stable-sort later to maint). - - * The code to skip "UTF" and "UTF-" prefix, when computing an advice - message, did not work correctly when the prefix was "UTF", which - has been fixed. - (merge b181676ce9 rs/convert-fix-utf-without-dash later to maint). -

(merge ff61681b46 cb/pcre1-cleanup later to maint). - - * "git range-diff" segfaulted when diff.noprefix configuration was - used, as it blindly expected the patch it internally generates to - have the standard a/ and b/ prefixes. The command now forces the - internal patch to be built without any prefix, not to be affected - by any end-user configuration. - (merge 937b76ed49 js/range-diff-noprefix later to maint). - - * "git stash apply" in a subdirectory of a secondary worktree failed - to access the worktree correctly, which has been corrected. - (merge dfd557c978 js/stash-apply-in-secondary-worktree later to maint). - - * The merge-recursive machinery is one of the most complex parts of - the system that accumulated cruft over time.
