The socket-level KEEPALIVE has - been enabled to allow the OS to notice such failed connections. - - * The commands in `git log` family take %C(auto) in a custom format - string. This unconditionally turned the color on, ignoring - --no-color or with --color=auto when the output is not connected to - a tty; this was corrected to make the format truly behave as - "auto". - - * "git rev-list --count" whose walk-length is limited with "-n" - option did not work well with the counting optimized to look at the - bitmap index. - - * "git show -W" (extend hunks to cover the entire function, delimited - by lines that match the "funcname" pattern) used to show the entire - file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file, - which has been fixed. - - * The documentation set has been updated so that literal commands, - configuration variables and environment variables are consistently - typeset in fixed-width font and bold in manpages. - - * "git svn propset" subcommand that was added in 2.3 days is - documented now. - - * The documentation tries to consistently spell "GPG"; when - referring to the specific program name, "gpg" is used. - - * "git reflog" stopped upon seeing an entry that denotes a branch - creation event (aka "unborn"), which made it appear as if the - reflog was truncated. - - * The git-prompt scriptlet (in contrib/) was not friendly with those - who uses "set -u", which has been fixed. - - * A codepath that used alloca(3) to place an unbounded amount of data - on the stack has been updated to avoid doing so. - - * "git update-index --add --chmod=+x file" may be usable as an escape - hatch, but not a friendly thing to force for people who do need to - use it regularly. "git add --chmod=+x file" can be used instead. - - * Build improvements for gnome-keyring (in contrib/) - - * "git status" used to say "working directory" when it meant "working - tree". - - * Comments about misbehaving FreeBSD shells have been clarified with - the version number (9.x and before are broken, newer ones are OK). - - * "git cherry-pick A" worked on an unborn branch, but "git - cherry-pick A..B" didn't. - - * "git add -i/-p" learned to honor diff.compactionHeuristic - experimental knob, so that the user can work on the same hunk split - as "git diff" output. - - * "log --graph --format=" learned that "%>|(N)" specifies the width - relative to the terminal's left edge, not relative to the area to - draw text that is to the right of the ancestry-graph section. It - also now accepts negative N that means the column limit is relative - to the right border. - - * The ownership rule for the piece of memory that hold references to - be fetched in "git fetch" was screwy, which has been cleaned up. - - * "git bisect" makes an internal call to "git diff-tree" when - bisection finds the culprit, but this call did not initialize the - data structure to pass to the diff-tree API correctly. - - * Formats of the various data (and how to validate them) where we use - GPG signature have been documented. - - * Fix an unintended regression in v2.9 that breaks "clone --depth" - that recurses down to submodules by forcing the submodules to also - be cloned shallowly, which many server instances that host upstream - of the submodules are not prepared for. - - * Fix unnecessarily waste in the idiomatic use of ': ${VAR=default}' - to set the default value, without enclosing it in double quotes. - - * Some platform-specific code had non-ANSI strict declarations of C - functions that do not take any parameters, which has been - corrected. - - * The internal code used to show local timezone offset is not - prepared to handle timestamps beyond year 2100, and gave a - bogus offset value to the caller. Use a more benign looking - +0000 instead and let "git log" going in such a case, instead - of aborting. - - * One among four invocations of readlink(1) in our test suite has - been rewritten so that the test can run on systems without the - command (others are in valgrind test framework and t9802). - - * t/perf needs /usr/bin/time with GNU extension; the invocation of it - is updated to "gtime" on Darwin. - - * A bug, which caused "git p4" while running under verbose mode to - report paths that are omitted due to branch prefix incorrectly, has - been fixed; the command said "Ignoring file outside of prefix" for - paths that are _inside_. - - * The top level documentation "git help git" still pointed at the - documentation set hosted at now-defunct google-code repository. - Update it to point to https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git.html - instead. - -Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
