Also the phrasing used for signature and key validity is - adjusted to align with that used by OpenPGP. - - * On Windows, .git and optionally any files whose name starts with a - dot are now marked as hidden, with a core.hideDotFiles knob to - customize this behaviour. - - * Portability enhancement for "rebase -i" to help platforms whose - shell does not like "for i in <empty>" (which is not POSIX-kosher). - - * "git fsck" learned to catch NUL byte in a commit object as - potential error and warn. - - * CI test was taught to build documentation pages. - - * Many 'linkgit:<git documentation page>' references were broken, - which are all fixed with this. - - * "git describe --contains" often made a hard-to-justify choice of - tag to give name to a given commit, because it tried to come up - with a name with smallest number of hops from a tag, causing an old - commit whose close descendant that is recently tagged were not - described with respect to an old tag but with a newer tag. It did - not help that its computation of "hop" count was further tweaked to - penalize being on a side branch of a merge. The logic has been - updated to favor using the tag with the oldest tagger date, which - is a lot easier to explain to the end users: "We describe a commit - in terms of the (chronologically) oldest tag that contains the - commit." - - * Running tests with '-x' option to trace the individual command - executions is a useful way to debug test scripts, but some tests - that capture the standard error stream and check what the command - said can be broken with the trace output mixed in. When running - our tests under "bash", however, we can redirect the trace output - to another file descriptor to keep the standard error of programs - being tested intact. - - * "http.cookieFile" configuration variable clearly wants a pathname, - but we forgot to treat it as such by e.g. applying tilde expansion. - - * When de-initialising all submodules, "git submodule deinit" gave a - faulty recommendation to use "git submodule deinit .", which would - result in a strange error message in a pathological corner case. - This has been corrected to suggest "submodule deinit --all" instead. - - * Many commands normalize command line arguments from NFD to NFC - variant of UTF-8 on OSX, but commands in the "diff" family did - not, causing "git diff $path" to complain that no such path is - known to Git. They have been taught to do the normalization. - - * A couple of bugs around core.autocrlf have been fixed. - - * "git difftool" learned to handle unmerged paths correctly in - dir-diff mode. - - * The "are we talking with TTY, doing an interactive session?" - detection has been updated to work better for "Git for Windows". - - -Also contains other minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
