Make it ignore leading blank - lines to match. - - * Git does not know what the contents in the index should be for a - path added with "git add -N" yet, so "git grep --cached" should not - show hits (or show lack of hits, with -L) in such a path, but that - logic does not apply to "git grep", i.e. searching in the working - tree files. But we did so by mistake, which has been corrected. - - * "git rebase -i --autostash" did not restore the auto-stashed change - when the operation was aborted. - - * "git commit --amend --allow-empty-message -S" for a commit without - any message body could have misidentified where the header of the - commit object ends. - - * More mark-up updates to typeset strings that are expected to - literally typed by the end user in fixed-width font. - - * For a long time, we carried an in-code comment that said our - colored output would work only when we use fprintf/fputs on - Windows, which no longer is the case for the past few years. - - * "gc.autoPackLimit" when set to 1 should not trigger a repacking - when there is only one pack, but the code counted poorly and did - so. - - * One part of "git am" had an oddball helper function that called - stuff from outside "his" as opposed to calling what we have "ours", - which was not gender-neutral and also inconsistent with the rest of - the system where outside stuff is usuall called "theirs" in - contrast to "ours". - - * The test framework learned a new helper test_match_signal to - check an exit code from getting killed by an expected signal. - - * "git blame -M" missed a single line that was moved within the file. - - * Fix recently introduced codepaths that are involved in parallel - submodule operations, which gave up on reading too early, and - could have wasted CPU while attempting to write under a corner - case condition. - - * "git grep -i" has been taught to fold case in non-ascii locales - correctly. - - * A test that unconditionally used "mktemp" learned that the command - is not necessarily available everywhere. - - * "git blame file" allowed the lineage of lines in the uncommitted, - unadded contents of "file" to be inspected, but it refused when - "file" did not appear in the current commit. When "file" was - created by renaming an existing file (but the change has not been - committed), this restriction was unnecessarily tight. - - * "git add -N dir/file && git write-tree" produced an incorrect tree - when there are other paths in the same directory that sorts after - "file". - - * "git fetch http://user:pass@host/repo..." scrubbed the userinfo - part, but "git push" didn't. - - * An age old bug that caused "git diff --ignore-space-at-eol" - misbehave has been fixed. - - * "git notes merge" had a code to see if a path exists (and fails if - it does) and then open the path for writing (when it doesn't). - Replace it with open with O_EXCL. - - * "git pack-objects" and "git index-pack" mostly operate with off_t - when talking about the offset of objects in a packfile, but there - were a handful of places that used "unsigned long" to hold that - value, leading to an unintended truncation. - - * Recent update to "git daemon" tries to enable the socket-level - KEEPALIVE, but when it is spawned via inetd, the standard input - file descriptor may not necessarily be connected to a socket. - Suppress an ENOTSOCK error from setsockopt(). - - * Recent FreeBSD stopped making perl available at /usr/bin/perl; - switch the default the built-in path to /usr/local/bin/perl on not - too ancient FreeBSD releases. - - * "git status" learned to suggest "merge --abort" during a conflicted - merge, just like it already suggests "rebase --abort" during a - conflicted rebase. - - * The .c/.h sources are marked as such in our .gitattributes file so - that "git diff -W" and friends would work better. - - * Existing autoconf generated test for the need to link with pthread - library did not check all the functions from pthread libraries; - recent FreeBSD has some functions in libc but not others, and we - mistakenly thought linking with libc is enough when it is not. - - * Allow http daemon tests in Travis CI tests. - - * Users of the parse_options_concat() API function need to allocate - extra slots in advance and fill them with OPT_END() when they want - to decide the set of supported options dynamically, which makes the - code error-prone and hard to read. This has been corrected by tweaking - the API to allocate and return a new copy of "struct option" array. - - * The use of strbuf in "git rm" to build filename to remove was a bit - suboptimal, which has been fixed. - - * "git commit --help" said "--no-verify" is only about skipping the - pre-commit hook, and failed to say that it also skipped the - commit-msg hook. - - * "git merge" in Git v2.9 was taught to forbid merging an unrelated - lines of history by default, but that is exactly the kind of thing - the "--rejoin" mode of "git subtree" (in contrib/) wants to do. - "git subtree" has been taught to use the "--allow-unrelated-histories" - option to override the default. - - * The build procedure for "git persistent-https" helper (in contrib/) - has been updated so that it can be built with more recent versions - of Go. - - * There is an optimization used in "git diff $treeA $treeB" to borrow - an already checked-out copy in the working tree when it is known to - be the same as the blob being compared, expecting that open/mmap of - such a file is faster than reading it from the object store, which - involves inflating and applying delta. This however kicked in even - when the checked-out copy needs to go through the convert-to-git - conversion (including the clean filter), which defeats the whole - point of the optimization. The optimization has been disabled when - the conversion is necessary. - - * "git -c grep.patternType=extended log --basic-regexp" misbehaved - because the internal API to access the grep machinery was not - designed well. - - * Windows port was failing some tests in t4130, due to the lack of - inum in the returned values by its lstat(2) emulation. - - * The characters in the label shown for tags/refs for commits in - "gitweb" output are now properly escaped for proper HTML output. - - * FreeBSD can lie when asked mtime of a directory, which made the - untracked cache code to fall back to a slow-path, which in turn - caused tests in t7063 to fail because it wanted to verify the - behaviour of the fast-path. - - * Squelch compiler warnings for netmalloc (in compat/) library. - - * The API documentation for hashmap was unclear if hashmap_entry - can be safely discarded without any other consideration. State - that it is safe to do so. - - * Not-so-recent rewrite of "git am" that started making internal - calls into the commit machinery had an unintended regression, in - that no matter how many seconds it took to apply many patches, the - resulting committer timestamp for the resulting commits were all - the same. - - * "git difftool <paths>..." started in a subdirectory failed to - interpret the paths relative to that directory, which has been - fixed. - -Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
