There are a few known differences in the - behaviour from the traditional machinery based on patch+apply. - - If your workflow is negatively affected by this change, please - report it to git@vger.kernel.org so that we can take a look into - it. After doing so, you can set the 'rebase.backend' configuration - variable to 'apply', in order to use the old default behaviour in - the meantime. - - -UI, Workflows & Features - - * Sample credential helper for using .netrc has been updated to work - out of the box. - - * gpg.minTrustLevel configuration variable has been introduced to - tell various signature verification codepaths the required minimum - trust level. - - * The command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete - subcommands and arguments to "git worktree". - - * Disambiguation logic to tell revisions and pathspec apart has been - tweaked so that backslash-escaped glob special characters do not - count in the "wildcards are pathspec" rule. - - * One effect of specifying where the GIT_DIR is (either with the - environment variable, or with the "git --git-dir=<where> cmd" - option) is to disable the repository discovery. This has been - placed a bit more stress in the documentation, as new users often - get confused. - - * Two help messages given when "git add" notices the user gave it - nothing to add have been updated to use advise() API. - - * A new version of fsmonitor-watchman hook has been introduced, to - avoid races. - - * "git config" learned to show in which "scope", in addition to in - which file, each config setting comes from. - - * The basic 7 colors learned the brighter counterparts - (e.g. "brightred"). - - * "git sparse-checkout" learned a new "add" subcommand. - - * A configuration element used for credential subsystem can now use - wildcard pattern to specify for which set of URLs the entry - applies. - - * "git clone --recurse-submodules --single-branch" now uses the same - single-branch option when cloning the submodules. - - * "git rm" and "git stash" learns the new "--pathspec-from-file" - option. - - * "git am --show-current-patch" is a way to show the piece of e-mail - for the stopped step, which is not suitable to directly feed "git - apply" (it is designed to be a good "git am" input). It learned a - new option to show only the patch part. - - * Handling of conflicting renames in merge-recursive have further - been made consistent with how existing codepaths try to mimic what - is done to add/add conflicts. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. - - * Tell .editorconfig that in this project, *.txt files are indented - with tabs. - - * The test-lint machinery knew to check "VAR=VAL shell_function" - construct, but did not check "VAR= shell_function", which has been - corrected. - - * Replace "git config --bool" calls with "git config --type=bool" in - sample templates. - - * The effort to move "git-add--interactive" to C continues. - - * Improve error message generation for "git submodule add". - - * Preparation of test scripts for the day when the object names will - use SHA-256 continues. - - * Warn programmers about pretend_object_file() that allows the code - to tentatively use in-core objects. - - * The way "git pack-objects" reuses objects stored in existing pack - to generate its result has been improved. - - * The transport protocol version 2 becomes the default one. - - * Traditionally, we avoided threaded grep while searching in objects - (as opposed to files in the working tree) as accesses to the object - layer is not thread-safe. This limitation is getting lifted. - - * "git rebase -i" (and friends) used to unnecessarily check out the - tip of the branch to be rebased, which has been corrected. - - * A low-level API function get_oid(), that accepts various ways to - name an object, used to issue end-user facing error messages - without l10n, which has been updated to be translatable. - - * Unneeded connectivity check is now disabled in a partial clone when - fetching into it. - - * Some rough edges in the sparse-checkout feature, especially around - the cone mode, have been cleaned up. - - * The diff-* plumbing family of subcommands now pay attention to the - diff.wsErrorHighlight configuration, which has been ignored before; - this allows "git add -p" to also show the whitespace problems to - the end user. - - * Some codepaths were given a repository instance as a parameter to - work in the repository, but passed the_repository instance to its - callees, which has been cleaned up (somewhat). - - * Memory footprint and performance of "git name-rev" has been - improved. - - * The object reachability bitmap machinery and the partial cloning - machinery were not prepared to work well together, because some - object-filtering criteria that partial clones use inherently rely - on object traversal, but the bitmap machinery is an optimization - to bypass that object traversal. There however are some cases - where they can work together, and they were taught about them. - - * "git rebase" has learned to use the merge backend (i.e. the - machinery that drives "rebase -i") by default, while allowing - "--apply" option to use the "apply" backend (e.g. the moral - equivalent of "format-patch piped to am"). The rebase.backend - configuration variable can be set to customize. - - * Underlying machinery of "git bisect--helper" is being refactored - into pieces that are more easily reused. - - -Fixes since v2.25 ------------------ - - * "git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is - nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints - configuration variable, which has been corrected. - - * has_object_file() said "no" given an object registered to the - system via pretend_object_file(), making it inconsistent with - read_object_file(), causing lazy fetch to attempt fetching an - empty tree from promisor remotes. - - * Complete an update to tutorial that encourages "git switch" over - "git checkout" that was done only half-way. - - * C pedantry ;-) fix. - - * The code that tries to skip over the entries for the paths in a - single directory using the cache-tree was not careful enough - against corrupt index file. - - * Reduce unnecessary round-trip when running "ls-remote" over the - stateless RPC mechanism. - - * "git restore --staged" did not correctly update the cache-tree - structure, resulting in bogus trees to be written afterwards, which - has been corrected. - - * The code recently added to move to the entry beyond the ones in the - same directory in the index in the sparse-cone mode did not count - the number of entries to skip over incorrectly, which has been - corrected. - - * Rendering by "git log --graph" of ancestry lines leading to a merge - commit were made suboptimal to waste vertical space a bit with a - recent update, which has been corrected. - - * Work around test breakages caused by custom regex engine used in - libasan, when address sanitizer is used with more recent versions - of gcc and clang. - - * Minor bugfixes to "git add -i" that has recently been rewritten in C. - - * "git fetch --refmap=" option has got a better documentation. - - * "git checkout X" did not correctly fail when X is not a local - branch but could name more than one remote-tracking branches - (i.e. to be dwimmed as the starting point to create a corresponding - local branch), which has been corrected. - (merge fa74180d08 am/checkout-file-and-ref-ref-ambiguity later to maint). - - * Corner case bugs in "git clean" that stems from a (necessarily for - performance reasons) awkward calling convention in the directory - enumeration API has been corrected. - - * A fetch that is told to recursively fetch updates in submodules - inevitably produces reams of output, and it becomes hard to spot - error messages. The command has been taught to enumerate - submodules that had errors at the end of the operation. - (merge 0222540827 es/fetch-show-failed-submodules-atend later to maint). - - * The "--recurse-submodules" option of various subcommands did not - work well when run in an alternate worktree, which has been - corrected. - - * Futureproofing a test not to depend on the current implementation - detail. - - * Running "git rm" on a submodule failed unnecessarily when - .gitmodules is only cache-dirty, which has been corrected. - - * C pedantry ;-) fix. - - * "git grep --no-index" should not get affected by the contents of - the .gitmodules file but when "--recurse-submodules" is given or - the "submodule.recurse" variable is set, it did. Now these - settings are ignored in the "--no-index" mode. - - * Technical details of the bundle format has been documented. - - * Unhelpful warning messages during documentation build have been squelched. - - * "git rebase -i" identifies existing commits in its todo file with - their abbreviated object name, which could become ambiguous as it - goes to create new commits, and has a mechanism to avoid ambiguity - in the main part of its execution. A few other cases however were - not covered by the protection against ambiguity, which has been - corrected. - - * Allow the rebase.missingCommitsCheck configuration to kick in when - "rebase --edit-todo" and "rebase --continue" restarts the procedure. - (merge 5a5445d878 ag/edit-todo-drop-check later to maint). - - * The way "git submodule status" reports an initialized but not yet - populated submodule has not been reimplemented correctly when a - part of the "git submodule" command was rewritten in C, which has - been corrected. - (merge f38c92452d pk/status-of-uncloned-submodule later to maint). - - * The code to automatically shrink the fan-out in the notes tree had - an off-by-one bug, which has been killed. - - * The index-pack code now diagnoses a bad input packstream that - records the same object twice when it is used as delta base; the - code used to declare a software bug when encountering such an - input, but it is an input error. - - - * The code to compute the commit-graph has been taught to use a more - robust way to tell if two object directories refer to the same - thing. - (merge a7df60cac8 tb/commit-graph-object-dir later to maint). - - * "git remote rename X Y" needs to adjust configuration variables - (e.g. branch.<name>.remote) whose value used to be X to Y. - branch.<name>.pushRemote is now also updated. - - * Update to doc-diff. - - * Doc markup fix. - - * "git check-ignore" did not work when the given path is explicitly - marked as not ignored with a negative entry in the .gitignore file. - - * The merge-recursive machinery failed to refresh the cache entry for - a merge result in a couple of places, resulting in an unnecessary - merge failure, which has been fixed. - - * Fix for a bug revealed by a recent change to make the protocol v2 - the default. - - * In rare cases "git worktree add <path>" could think that <path> - was already a registered worktree even when it wasn't and refuse - to add the new worktree. This has been corrected. - (merge bb69b3b009 es/worktree-avoid-duplication-fix later to maint). - - * "git push" should stop from updating a branch that is checked out - when receive.denyCurrentBranch configuration is set, but it failed - to pay attention to checkouts in secondary worktrees. This has - been corrected. - (merge 4d864895a2 hv/receive-denycurrent-everywhere later to maint). - - * "git rebase BASE BRANCH" rebased/updated the tip of BRANCH and - checked it out, even when the BRANCH is checked out in a different - worktree. This has been corrected. - (merge b5cabb4a96 es/do-not-let-rebase-switch-to-protected-branch later to maint). - - * "git describe" in a repository with multiple root commits sometimes - gave up looking for the best tag to describe a given commit with - too early, which has been adjusted. - - * "git merge signed-tag" while lacking the public key started to say - "No signature", which was utterly wrong. This regression has been - reverted. - - * MinGW's poll() emulation has been improved. - - * "git show" and others gave an object name in raw format in its - error output, which has been corrected to give it in hex. - - * "git fetch" over HTTP walker protocol did not show any progress - output. We inherently do not know how much work remains, but still - we can show something not to bore users. - (merge 7655b4119d rs/show-progress-in-dumb-http-fetch later to maint). - - * Both "git ls-remote -h" and "git grep -h" give short usage help, - like any other Git subcommand, but it is not unreasonable to expect - that the former would behave the same as "git ls-remote --head" - (there is no other sensible behaviour for the latter). The - documentation has been updated in an attempt to clarify this. - - * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. - (merge d0d0a357a1 am/update-pathspec-f-f-tests later to maint). - (merge f94f7bd00d am/test-pathspec-f-f-error-cases later to maint). - (merge c513a958b6 ss/t6025-modernize later to maint). - (merge b441717256 dl/test-must-fail-fixes later to maint). - (merge d031049da3 mt/sparse-checkout-doc-update later to maint). - (merge 145136a95a jc/skip-prefix later to maint). - (merge 5290d45134 jk/alloc-cleanups later to maint). - (merge 7a9f8ca805 rs/parse-options-concat-dup later to maint). - (merge 517b60564e rs/strbuf-insertstr later to maint). - (merge f696a2b1c8 jk/mailinfo-cleanup later to maint). - (merge de26f02db1 js/test-avoid-pipe later to maint). - (merge a2dc43414c es/doc-mentoring later to maint). - (merge 02bbbe9df9 es/worktree-cleanup later to maint). - (merge 2ce6d075fa rs/micro-cleanups later to maint). - (merge 27f182b3fc rs/blame-typefix-for-fingerprint later to maint). - (merge 3c29e21eb0 ma/test-cleanup later to maint). - (merge 240fc04f81 ag/rebase-remove-redundant-code later to maint). - (merge d68ce906c7 rs/commit-graph-code-simplification later to maint). - (merge a51d9e8f07 rj/t1050-use-test-path-is-file later to maint). - (merge fd0bc17557 kk/complete-diff-color-moved later to maint). - (merge 65bf820d0e en/test-cleanup later to maint). |
