This pointer was not updated even when the - cache entry was removed from the index, leading to use after free. - This was fixed by recording the path for each directory instead of - borrowing cache entries and restructuring the API somewhat. - - * When the "git am" command was reimplemented in C, "git am -3" had a - small regression where it is aborted in its error handling codepath - when underlying merge-recursive failed in some ways. - - * The synopsis text and the usage string of subcommands that read - list of things from the standard input are often shown as if they - only take input from a file on a filesystem, which was misleading. - - * A couple of commands still showed "[options]" in their usage string - to note where options should come on their command line, but we - spell that "[<options>]" in most places these days. - - * The submodule code has been taught to work better with separate - work trees created via "git worktree add". - - * When "git gc --auto" is backgrounded, its diagnosis message is - lost. It now is saved to a file in $GIT_DIR and is shown next time - the "gc --auto" is run. - - * Work around "git p4" failing when the P4 depot records the contents - in UTF-16 without UTF-16 BOM. - - * Recent update to "rebase -i" that tries to sanity check the edited - insn sheet before it uses it has become too picky on Windows where - CRLF left by the editor is turned into a trailing CR on the line - read via the "read" built-in command. - - * "git clone --dissociate" runs a big "git repack" process at the - end, and it helps to close file descriptors that are open on the - packs and their idx files before doing so on filesystems that - cannot remove a file that is still open. - - * Correct "git p4 --detect-labels" so that it does not fail to create - a tag that points at a commit that is also being imported. - - * The internal stripspace() function has been moved to where it - logically belongs to, i.e. strbuf API, and the command line parser - of "git stripspace" has been updated to use the parse_options API. - - * Prepare for Git on-disk repository representation to undergo - backward incompatible changes by introducing a new repository - format version "1", with an extension mechanism. - - * "git gc" used to barf when a symbolic ref has gone dangling - (e.g. the branch that used to be your upstream's default when you - cloned from it is now gone, and you did "fetch --prune"). - - * The normalize_ceiling_entry() function does not muck with the end - of the path it accepts, and the real world callers do rely on that, - but a test insisted that the function drops a trailing slash. - - * "git gc" is safe to run anytime only because it has the built-in - grace period to protect young objects. In order to run with no - grace period, the user must make sure that the repository is - quiescent. - - * A recent "filter-branch --msg-filter" broke skipping of the commit - object header, which is fixed. - - * "git --literal-pathspecs add -u/-A" without any command line - argument misbehaved ever since Git 2.0. - - * Merging a branch that removes a path and another that changes the - mode bits on the same path should have conflicted at the path, but - it didn't and silently favoured the removal. - - * "git imap-send" did not compile well with older version of cURL library. - - * The linkage order of libraries was wrong in places around libcurl. - - * It was not possible to use a repository-lookalike created by "git - worktree add" as a local source of "git clone". - - * When "git send-email" wanted to talk over Net::SMTP::SSL, - Net::Cmd::datasend() did not like to be fed too many bytes at the - same time and failed to send messages. Send the payload one line - at a time to work around the problem. - - * We peek objects from submodule's object store by linking it to the - list of alternate object databases, but the code to do so forgot to - correctly initialize the list. - - * "git status --branch --short" accessed beyond the constant string - "HEAD", which has been corrected. - - * "git daemon" uses "run_command()" without "finish_command()", so it - needs to release resources itself, which it forgot to do. - -Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code -clean-ups. |
