Although all of the changes in this section +happened before the current v1.4.4 release, they are summarized +here in the v1.5.0 release notes for people who skipped earlier +versions. + +As of git v1.5.0 there are some optional features that changes +the repository to allow data to be stored and transferred more +efficiently. These features are not enabled by default, as they +will make the repository unusable with older versions of git. +Specifically, the available options are: + + - There is a configuration variable core.legacyheaders that + changes the format of loose objects so that they are more + efficient to pack and to send out of the repository over git + native protocol, since v1.4.2. However, loose objects + written in the new format cannot be read by git older than + that version; people fetching from your repository using + older clients over dumb transports (e.g. http) using older + versions of git will also be affected. + + To let git use the new loose object format, you have to + set core.legacyheaders to false. + + - Since v1.4.3, configuration repack.usedeltabaseoffset allows + packfile to be created in more space efficient format, which + cannot be read by git older than that version. + + To let git use the new format for packfiles, you have to + set repack.usedeltabaseoffset to true. + +The above two new features are not enabled by default and you +have to explicitly ask for them, because they make repositories +unreadable by older versions of git, and in v1.5.0 we still do +not enable them by default for the same reason. We will change +this default probably 1 year after 1.4.2's release, when it is +reasonable to expect everybody to have new enough version of +git. + + - 'git pack-refs' appeared in v1.4.4; this command allows tags + to be accessed much more efficiently than the traditional + 'one-file-per-tag' format. Older git-native clients can + still fetch from a repository that packed and pruned refs + (the server side needs to run the up-to-date version of git), + but older dumb transports cannot. Packing of refs is done by + an explicit user action, either by use of "git pack-refs + --prune" command or by use of "git gc" command. + + - 'git -p' to paginate anything -- many commands do pagination + by default on a tty. Introduced between v1.4.1 and v1.4.2; + this may surprise old timers. + + - 'git archive' superseded 'git tar-tree' in v1.4.3; + + - 'git cvsserver' was new invention in v1.3.0; + + - 'git repo-config', 'git grep', 'git rebase' and 'gitk' were + seriously enhanced during v1.4.0 timeperiod. + + - 'gitweb' became part of git.git during v1.4.0 timeperiod and + seriously modified since then. + + - reflog is an v1.4.0 invention. This allows you to name a + revision that a branch used to be at (e.g. "git diff + master@{yesterday} master" allows you to see changes since + yesterday's tip of the branch). + + +Updates in v1.5.0 since v1.4.4 series +------------------------------------- + +* Index manipulation + + - git-add is to add contents to the index (aka "staging area" + for the next commit), whether the file the contents happen to + be is an existing one or a newly created one. + + - git-add without any argument does not add everything + anymore. Use 'git-add .' instead. Also you can add + otherwise ignored files with an -f option. + + - git-add tries to be more friendly to users by offering an + interactive mode ("git-add -i"). + + - git-commit <path> used to refuse to commit if <path> was + different between HEAD and the index (i.e. update-index was + used on it earlier). This check was removed. + + - git-rm is much saner and safer. It is used to remove paths + from both the index file and the working tree, and makes sure + you are not losing any local modification before doing so. + + - git-reset <tree> <paths>... can be used to revert index + entries for selected paths. + + - git-update-index is much less visible. Many suggestions to + use the command in git output and documentation have now been + replaced by simpler commands such as "git add" or "git rm". + + +* Repository layout and objects transfer + + - The data for origin repository is stored in the configuration + file $GIT_DIR/config, not in $GIT_DIR/remotes/, for newly + created clones. The latter is still supported and there is + no need to convert your existing repository if you are + already comfortable with your workflow with the layout. + + - git-clone always uses what is known as "separate remote" + layout for a newly created repository with a working tree. + + A repository with the separate remote layout starts with only + one default branch, 'master', to be used for your own + development. Unlike the traditional layout that copied all + the upstream branches into your branch namespace (while + renaming their 'master' to your 'origin'), the new layout + puts upstream branches into local "remote-tracking branches" + with their own namespace. These can be referenced with names + such as "origin/$upstream_branch_name" and are stored in + .git/refs/remotes rather than .git/refs/heads where normal + branches are stored. + + This layout keeps your own branch namespace less cluttered, + avoids name collision with your upstream, makes it possible + to automatically track new branches created at the remote + after you clone from it, and makes it easier to interact with + more than one remote repository (you can use "git remote" to + add other repositories to track). There might be some + surprises: + + * 'git branch' does not show the remote tracking branches. + It only lists your own branches. Use '-r' option to view + the tracking branches. + + * If you are forking off of a branch obtained from the + upstream, you would have done something like 'git branch + my-next next', because traditional layout dropped the + tracking branch 'next' into your own branch namespace. + With the separate remote layout, you say 'git branch next + origin/next', which allows you to use the matching name + 'next' for your own branch. It also allows you to track a + remote other than 'origin' (i.e. where you initially cloned + from) and fork off of a branch from there the same way + (e.g. "git branch mingw j6t/master"). + + Repositories initialized with the traditional layout continue + to work. + + - New branches that appear on the origin side after a clone is + made are also tracked automatically. This is done with an + wildcard refspec "refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*", which + older git does not understand, so if you clone with 1.5.0, + you would need to downgrade remote.*.fetch in the + configuration file to specify each branch you are interested + in individually if you plan to fetch into the repository with + older versions of git (but why would you?). + + - Similarly, wildcard refspec "refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/me/*" + can be given to "git-push" command to update the tracking + branches that is used to track the repository you are pushing + from on the remote side. + + - git-branch and git-show-branch know remote tracking branches + (use the command line switch "-r" to list only tracked branches). + + - git-push can now be used to delete a remote branch or a tag. + This requires the updated git on the remote side (use "git + push <remote> :refs/heads/<branch>" to delete "branch"). + + - git-push more aggressively keeps the transferred objects + packed. Earlier we recommended to monitor amount of loose + objects and repack regularly, but you should repack when you + accumulated too many small packs this way as well. Updated + git-count-objects helps you with this. + + - git-fetch also more aggressively keeps the transferred objects + packed. This behavior of git-push and git-fetch can be + tweaked with a single configuration transfer.unpacklimit (but + usually there should not be any need for a user to tweak it). + + - A new command, git-remote, can help you manage your remote + tracking branch definitions. + + - You may need to specify explicit paths for upload-pack and/or + receive-pack due to your ssh daemon configuration on the + other end. This can now be done via remote.*.uploadpack and + remote.*.receivepack configuration. + + +* Bare repositories + + - Certain commands change their behavior in a bare repository + (i.e. a repository without associated working tree). We use + a fairly conservative heuristic (if $GIT_DIR is ".git", or + ends with "/.git", the repository is not bare) to decide if a + repository is bare, but "core.bare" configuration variable + can be used to override the heuristic when it misidentifies + your repository. + + - git-fetch used to complain updating the current branch but + this is now allowed for a bare repository. So is the use of + 'git-branch -f' to update the current branch. + + - Porcelain-ish commands that require a working tree refuses to + work in a bare repository. + + +* Reflog + + - Reflog records the history from the view point of the local + repository. In other words, regardless of the real history, + the reflog shows the history as seen by one particular + repository (this enables you to ask "what was the current + revision in _this_ repository, yesterday at 1pm?"). This + facility is enabled by default for repositories with working + trees, and can be accessed with the "branch@{time}" and + "branch@{Nth}" notation. + + - "git show-branch" learned showing the reflog data with the + new -g option. "git log" has -g option to view reflog + entries in a more verbose manner. + + - git-branch knows how to rename branches and moves existing + reflog data from the old branch to the new one. + + - In addition to the reflog support in v1.4.4 series, HEAD + reference maintains its own log. "HEAD@{5.minutes.ago}" + means the commit you were at 5 minutes ago, which takes + branch switching into account. If you want to know where the + tip of your current branch was at 5 minutes ago, you need to + explicitly say its name (e.g. "master@{5.minutes.ago}") or + omit the refname altogether i.e. "@{5.minutes.ago}". + + - The commits referred to by reflog entries are now protected + against pruning. The new command "git reflog expire" can be + used to truncate older reflog entries and entries that refer + to commits that have been pruned away previously with older + versions of git. + + Existing repositories that have been using reflog may get + complaints from fsck-objects and may not be able to run + git-repack, if you had run git-prune from older git; please + run "git reflog expire --stale-fix --all" first to remove + reflog entries that refer to commits that are no longer in + the repository when that happens. + + +* Cruft removal + + - We used to say "old commits are retrievable using reflog and + 'master@{yesterday}' syntax as long as you haven't run + git-prune". We no longer have to say the latter half of the + above sentence, as git-prune does not remove things reachable + from reflog entries. + + - There is a toplevel garbage collector script, 'git-gc', that + runs periodic cleanup functions, including 'git-repack -a -d', + 'git-reflog expire', 'git-pack-refs --prune', and 'git-rerere + gc'. + + - The output from fsck ("fsck-objects" is called just "fsck" + now, but the old name continues to work) was needlessly + alarming in that it warned missing objects that are reachable + only from dangling objects. This has been corrected and the + output is much more useful. + + +* Detached HEAD + + - You can use 'git-checkout' to check out an arbitrary revision + or a tag as well, instead of named branches. This will + dissociate your HEAD from the branch you are currently on. + + A typical use of this feature is to "look around". E.g. + + $ git checkout v2.6.16 + ... compile, test, etc. + $ git checkout v2.6.17 + ... compile, test, etc. + + - After detaching your HEAD, you can go back to an existing + branch with usual "git checkout $branch". Also you can + start a new branch using "git checkout -b $newbranch" to + start a new branch at that commit. + + - You can even pull from other repositories, make merges and + commits while your HEAD is detached. Also you can use "git + reset" to jump to arbitrary commit, while still keeping your + HEAD detached. + + Remember that a detached state is volatile, i.e. it will be forgotten + as soon as you move away from it with the checkout or reset command, + unless a branch is created from it as mentioned above. It is also + possible to rescue a lost detached state from the HEAD reflog. + + +* Packed refs + + - Repositories with hundreds of tags have been paying large + overhead, both in storage and in runtime, due to the + traditional one-ref-per-file format. A new command, + git-pack-refs, can be used to "pack" them in more efficient + representation (you can let git-gc do this for you). + + - Clones and fetches over dumb transports are now aware of + packed refs and can download from repositories that use + them. + + +* Configuration + + - configuration related to color setting are consolidated under + color.* namespace (older diff.color.*, status.color.* are + still supported). + + - 'git-repo-config' command is accessible as 'git-config' now. + + +* Updated features + + - git-describe uses better criteria to pick a base ref. It + used to pick the one with the newest timestamp, but now it + picks the one that is topologically the closest (that is, + among ancestors of commit C, the ref T that has the shortest + output from "git-rev-list T..C" is chosen). + + - git-describe gives the number of commits since the base ref + between the refname and the hash suffix. E.g. the commit one + before v2.6.20-rc6 in the kernel repository is: + + v2.6.20-rc5-306-ga21b069 + + which tells you that its object name begins with a21b069, + v2.6.20-rc5 is an ancestor of it (meaning, the commit + contains everything -rc5 has), and there are 306 commits + since v2.6.20-rc5. + + - git-describe with --abbrev=0 can be used to show only the + name of the base ref. + + - git-blame learned a new option, --incremental, that tells it + to output the blames as they are assigned. A sample script + to use it is also included as contrib/blameview. + + - git-blame starts annotating from the working tree by default. + + +* Less external dependency + + - We no longer require the "merge" program from the RCS suite. + All 3-way file-level merges are now done internally. + + - The original implementation of git-merge-recursive which was + in Python has been removed; we have a C implementation of it + now. + + - git-shortlog is no longer a Perl script. It no longer + requires output piped from git-log; it can accept revision + parameters directly on the command line. + + +* I18n + + - We have always encouraged the commit message to be encoded in + UTF-8, but the users are allowed to use legacy encoding as + appropriate for their projects. This will continue to be the + case. However, a non UTF-8 commit encoding _must_ be + explicitly set with i18n.commitencoding in the repository + where a commit is made; otherwise git-commit-tree will + complain if the log message does not look like a valid UTF-8 + string. + + - The value of i18n.commitencoding in the originating + repository is recorded in the commit object on the "encoding" + header, if it is not UTF-8. git-log and friends notice this, + and re-encodes the message to the log output encoding when + displaying, if they are different. The log output encoding + is determined by "git log --encoding=<encoding>", + i18n.logoutputencoding configuration, or i18n.commitencoding + configuration, in the decreasing order of preference, and + defaults to UTF-8. + + - Tools for e-mailed patch application now default to -u + behavior; i.e. it always re-codes from the e-mailed encoding + to the encoding specified with i18n.commitencoding. This + unfortunately forces projects that have happily been using a + legacy encoding without setting i18n.commitencoding to set + the configuration, but taken with other improvement, please + excuse us for this very minor one-time inconvenience. + + +* e-mailed patches + + - See the above I18n section. + + - git-format-patch now enables --binary without being asked. + git-am does _not_ default to it, as sending binary patch via + e-mail is unusual and is harder to review than textual + patches and it is prudent to require the person who is + applying the patch to explicitly ask for it. + + - The default suffix for git-format-patch output is now ".patch", + not ".txt". This can be changed with --suffix=.txt option, + or setting the config variable "format.suffix" to ".txt". + + +* Foreign SCM interfaces + + - git-svn now requires the Perl SVN:: libraries, the + command-line backend was too slow and limited. + + - the 'commit' subcommand of git-svn has been renamed to + 'set-tree', and 'dcommit' is the recommended replacement for + day-to-day work. + + - git fast-import backend. + + +* User support + + - Quite a lot of documentation updates. + + - Bash completion scripts have been updated heavily. + + - Better error messages for often used Porcelainish commands. + + - Git GUI. This is a simple Tk based graphical interface for + common Git operations. + + +* Sliding mmap + + - We used to assume that we can mmap the whole packfile while + in use, but with a large project this consumes huge virtual + memory space and truly huge ones would not fit in the + userland address space on 32-bit platforms. We now mmap huge + packfile in pieces to avoid this problem. + + +* Shallow clones + + - There is a partial support for 'shallow' repositories that + keeps only recent history.

In the future we might + want to make this the default but that would be a rather big + backward incompatible change; it will stay as an option for + now. + + - "git diff --quiet" is --exit-code with output turned off, + meant for scripted use to quickly determine if there is any + tree-level difference. + + - Textual patch generation with "git diff" without -w/-b + option has been significantly optimized.

This was fixed to match the + behavior with --index. A patch that is meant to be applied + with -p1 from the toplevel of the project tree can be + applied with any custom -p<n> option. A patch that is not + relative to the toplevel needs to be applied with -p<n> + option with or without --index (or --cached). + + - "git diff" outputs a trailing HT when pathnames have embedded + SP on +++/--- header lines, in order to help "GNU patch" to + parse its output. "git apply" was already updated to accept + this modified output format since ce74618d (Sep 22, 2006). + + - "git cvsserver" runs hooks/update and honors its exit status. + + - "git cvsserver" can be told to send everything with -kb. + + - "git diff --check" also honors the --color output option. + + - "git name-rev" used to stress the fact that a ref is a tag too + much, by saying something like "v1.2.3^0~22". It now says + "v1.2.3~22" in such a case (it still says "v1.2.3^0" if it does + not talk about an ancestor of the commit that is tagged, which + makes sense). + + - "git rev-list --boundary" now shows boundary markers for the + commits omitted by --max-age and --max-count condition. + + - The configuration mechanism now reads $(prefix)/etc/gitconfig. + + - "git apply --verbose" shows what preimage lines were wanted + when it couldn't find them. + + - "git status" in a read-only repository got a bit saner. + + - "git fetch" (hence "git clone" and "git pull") are less + noisy when the output does not go to tty. + + - "git fetch" between repositories with many refs were slow + even when there are not many changes that needed + transferring. This has been sped up by partially rewriting + the heaviest parts in C. + + - "git mailinfo" which splits an e-mail into a patch and the + meta-information was rewritten, thanks to Don Zickus.

This should be most noticeable in git-log + family of commands that involve reading many tree objects. + In addition, traversing revisions while filtering changes + with pathspecs is made faster by terminating the comparison + between the trees as early as possible. + + +* Hooks + + - The part to send out notification e-mails was removed from + the sample update hook, as it was not an appropriate place + to do so.

This plumbing (i.e. "core") level + superproject support explicitly excludes recursive behaviour. + + The "subproject" entries in the index and trees of a superproject + are incompatible with older versions of git. Experimenting with + the plumbing level support is encouraged, but be warned that + unless everybody in your project updates to this release or + later, using this feature would make your project + inaccessible by people with older versions of git. + +* Plumbing level gitattributes support. + + The gitattributes mechanism allows you to add 'attributes' to + paths in your project, and affect the way certain git + operations work. Currently you can influence if a path is + considered a binary or text (the former would be treated by + 'git diff' not to produce textual output; the latter can go + through the line endings conversion process in repositories + with core.autocrlf set), expand and unexpand '$Id$' keyword + with blob object name, specify a custom 3-way merge driver, + and specify a custom diff driver. You can also apply + arbitrary filter to contents on check-in/check-out codepath + but this feature is an extremely sharp-edged razor and needs + to be handled with caution (do not use it unless you + understand the earlier mailing list discussion on keyword + expansion). These conversions apply when checking files in + or out, and exporting via git-archive. + +* The packfile format now optionally supports 64-bit index. + + This release supports the "version 2" format of the .idx + file. This is automatically enabled when a huge packfile + needs more than 32-bit to express offsets of objects in the + pack. + +* Comes with an updated git-gui 0.7.1 + +* Updated gitweb: + + - can show combined diff for merges; + - uses font size of user's preference, not hardcoded in pixels; + - can now 'grep'; + +* New commands and options. + + - "git bisect start" can optionally take a single bad commit and + zero or more good commits on the command line. + + - "git shortlog" can optionally be told to wrap its output. + + - "subtree" merge strategy allows another project to be merged in as + your subdirectory. + + - "git format-patch" learned a new --subject-prefix=<string> + option, to override the built-in "[PATCH]". + + - "git add -u" is a quick way to do the first stage of "git + commit -a" (i.e. update the index to match the working + tree); it obviously does not make a commit. + + - "git clean" honors a new configuration, "clean.requireforce". When + set to true, this makes "git clean" a no-op, preventing you + from losing files by typing "git clean" when you meant to + say "make clean". You can still say "git clean -f" to + override this. + + - "git log" family of commands learned --date={local,relative,default} + option. --date=relative is synonym to the --relative-date. + --date=local gives the timestamp in local timezone. + +* Updated behavior of existing commands. + + - When $GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL or $GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL is not set + but $EMAIL is set, the latter is used as a substitute. + + - "git diff --stat" shows size of preimage and postimage blobs + for binary contents. Earlier it only said "Bin". + + - "git lost-found" shows stuff that are unreachable except + from reflogs. + + - "git checkout branch^0" now detaches HEAD at the tip commit + on the named branch, instead of just switching to the + branch (use "git checkout branch" to switch to the branch, + as before). + + - "git bisect next" can be used after giving only a bad commit + without giving a good one (this starts bisection half-way to + the root commit). We used to refuse to operate without a + good and a bad commit. + + - "git push", when pushing into more than one repository, does + not stop at the first error. + + - "git archive" does not insist you to give --format parameter + anymore; it defaults to "tar". + + - "git cvsserver" can use backends other than sqlite. + + - "gitview" (in contrib/ section) learned to better support + "git-annotate". + + - "git diff $commit1:$path2 $commit2:$path2" can now report + mode changes between the two blobs. + + - Local "git fetch" from a repository whose object store is + one of the alternates (e.g. fetching from the origin in a + repository created with "git clone -l -s") avoids + downloading objects unnecessarily. + + - "git blame" uses .mailmap to canonicalize the author name + just like "git shortlog" does. + + - "git pack-objects" pays attention to pack.depth + configuration variable. + + - "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" does not use .msg file in + the working tree to prepare commit message; instead it uses + $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MSG as other commands do. + +* Builds + + - git-p4import has never been installed; now there is an + installation option to do so. + + - gitk and git-gui can be configured out. + + - Generated documentation pages automatically get version + information from GIT_VERSION. + + - Parallel build with "make -j" descending into subdirectory + was fixed. + +* Performance Tweaks + + - Optimized "git-rev-list --bisect" (hence "git-bisect"). + + - Optimized "git-add $path" in a large directory, most of + whose contents are ignored. + + - Optimized "git-diff-tree" for reduced memory footprint. + + - The recursive merge strategy updated a worktree file that + was changed identically in two branches, when one of them + renamed it.

You can specify a number of filters to + modify the commits, files and trees. + + - "git cvsserver" learned new options (--base-path, --export-all, + --strict-paths) inspired by "git daemon". + + - "git daemon --base-path-relaxed" can help migrating a repository URL + that did not use to use --base-path to use --base-path. + + - "git commit" can use "-t templatefile" option and commit.template + configuration variable to prime the commit message given to you in the + editor. + + - "git submodule" command helps you manage the projects from + the superproject that contain them. + + - In addition to core.compression configuration option, + core.loosecompression and pack.compression options can + independently tweak zlib compression levels used for loose + and packed objects. + + - "git ls-tree -l" shows size of blobs pointed at by the + tree entries, similar to "/bin/ls -l". + + - "git rev-list" learned --regexp-ignore-case and + --extended-regexp options to tweak its matching logic used + for --grep filtering. + + - "git describe --contains" is a handier way to call more + obscure command "git name-rev --tags". + + - "git gc --aggressive" tells the command to spend more cycles + to optimize the repository harder. + + - "git repack" learned a "window-memory" limit which + dynamically reduces the window size to stay within the + specified memory usage. + + - "git repack" can be told to split resulting packs to avoid + exceeding limit specified with "--max-pack-size". + + - "git fsck" gained --verbose option. This is really really + verbose but it might help you identify exact commit that is + corrupt in your repository. + + - "git format-patch" learned --numbered-files option. This + may be useful for MH users. + + - "git format-patch" learned format.subjectprefix configuration + variable, which serves the same purpose as "--subject-prefix" + option. + + - "git tag -n -l" shows tag annotations while listing tags. + + - "git cvsimport" can optionally use the separate-remote layout. + + - "git blame" can be told to see through commits that change + whitespaces and indentation levels with "-w" option. + + - "git send-email" can be told not to thread the messages when + sending out more than one patches. + + - "git send-email" can also be told how to find whom to cc the + message to for each message via --cc-cmd. + + - "git config" learned NUL terminated output format via -z to + help scripts. + + - "git add" learned "--refresh <paths>..." option to selectively refresh + the cached stat information. + + - "git init -q" makes the command quieter. + + - "git -p command" now has a cousin of opposite sex, "git --no-pager + command". + +* Updated behavior of existing commands. + + - "gitweb" can offer multiple snapshot formats. + + ***NOTE*** Unfortunately, this changes the format of the + $feature{snapshot}{default} entry in the per-site + configuration file 'gitweb_config.perl'. It used to be a + three-element tuple that describe a single format; with the + new configuration item format, you only have to say the name + of the format ('tgz', 'tbz2' or 'zip'). Please update the + your configuration file accordingly. + + - "git clone" uses -l (hardlink files under .git) by default when + cloning locally. + + - URL used for "git clone" and friends can specify nonstandard SSH port + by using ssh://host:port/path/to/repo syntax. + + - "git bundle create" can now create a bundle without negative refs, + i.e. "everything since the beginning up to certain points". + + - "git diff" (but not the plumbing level "git diff-tree") now + recursively descends into trees by default. + + - "git diff" does not show differences that come only from + stat-dirtiness in the form of "diff --git" header anymore. + It runs "update-index --refresh" silently as needed. + + - "git tag -l" used to match tags by globbing its parameter as if it + has wildcard '*' on both ends, which made "git tag -l gui" to match + tag 'gitgui-0.7.0'; this was very annoying. You now have to add + asterisk on the sides you want to wildcard yourself. + + - The editor to use with many interactive commands can be + overridden with GIT_EDITOR environment variable, or if it + does not exist, with core.editor configuration variable. As + before, if you have neither, environment variables VISUAL + and EDITOR are consulted in this order, and then finally we + fall back on "vi". + + - "git rm --cached" does not complain when removing a newly + added file from the index anymore. + + - Options to "git log" to affect how --grep/--author options look for + given strings now have shorter abbreviations. -i is for ignore case, + and -E is for extended regexp. + + - "git log" learned --log-size to show the number of bytes in + the log message part of the output to help qgit. + + - "git log --name-status" does not require you to give "-r" anymore. + As a general rule, Porcelain commands should recurse when showing + diff. + + - "git format-patch --root A" can be used to format everything + since the beginning up to A. This was supported with + "git format-patch --root A A" for a long time, but was not + properly documented. + + - "git svn dcommit" retains local merge information. + + - "git svnimport" allows an empty string to be specified as the + trunk/ directory. This is necessary to suck data from a SVN + repository that doe not have trunk/ branches/ and tags/ organization + at all. + + - "git config" to set values also honors type flags like --bool + and --int. + + - core.quotepath configuration can be used to make textual git + output to emit most of the characters in the path literally. + + - "git mergetool" chooses its backend more wisely, taking + notice of its environment such as use of X, Gnome/KDE, etc. + + - "gitweb" shows merge commits a lot nicer than before. The + default view uses more compact --cc format, while the UI + allows to choose normal diff with any parent. + + - snapshot files "gitweb" creates from a repository at + $path/$project/.git are more useful. We use $project part + in the filename, which we used to discard. + + - "git cvsimport" creates lightweight tags; there is no + interesting information we can record in an annotated tag, + and the handcrafted ones the old code created was not + properly formed anyway. + + - "git push" pretends that you immediately fetched back from + the remote by updating corresponding remote tracking + branches if you have any. + + - The diffstat given after a merge (or a pull) honors the + color.diff configuration. + + - "git commit --amend" is now compatible with various message source + options such as -m/-C/-c/-F. + + - "git apply --whitespace=strip" removes blank lines added at + the end of the file. + + - "git fetch" over git native protocols with "-v" option shows + connection status, and the IP address of the other end, to + help diagnosing problems. + + - We used to have core.legacyheaders configuration, when + set to false, allowed git to write loose objects in a format + that mimics the format used by objects stored in packs. It + turns out that this was not so useful. Although we will + continue to read objects written in that format, we do not + honor that configuration anymore and create loose objects in + the legacy/traditional format. + + - "--find-copies-harder" option to diff family can now be + spelled as "-C -C" for brevity. + + - "git mailsplit" (hence "git am") can read from Maildir + formatted mailboxes. + + - "git cvsserver" does not barf upon seeing "cvs login" + request. + + - "pack-objects" honors "delta" attribute set in + .gitattributes. It does not attempt to deltify blobs that + come from paths with delta attribute set to false. + + - "new-workdir" script (in contrib) can now be used with a + bare repository. + + - "git mergetool" learned to use gvimdiff. + + - "gitview" (in contrib) has a better blame interface. + + - "git log" and friends did not handle a commit log message + that is larger than 16kB; they do now. + + - "--pretty=oneline" output format for "git log" and friends + deals with "malformed" commit log messages that have more + than one lines in the first paragraph better. We used to + show the first line, cutting the title at mid-sentence; we + concatenate them into a single line and treat the result as + "oneline". + + - "git p4import" has been demoted to contrib status. For + a superior option, checkout the "git p4" front end to + "git fast-import" (also in contrib). The man page and p4 + rpm have been removed as well. + + - "git mailinfo" (hence "am") now tries to see if the message + is in utf-8 first, instead of assuming iso-8859-1, if + incoming e-mail does not say what encoding it is in. + +* Builds + + - old-style function definitions (most notably, a function + without parameter defined with "func()", not "func(void)") + have been eradicated. + + - "git tag" and "git verify-tag" have been rewritten in C. + +* Performance Tweaks + + - "git pack-objects" avoids re-deltification cost by caching + small enough delta results it creates while looking for the + best delta candidates. + + - "git pack-objects" learned a new heuristic to prefer delta + that is shallower in depth over the smallest delta + possible. This improves both overall packfile access + performance and packfile density. + + - diff-delta code that is used for packing has been improved + to work better on big files. + + - when there are more than one pack files in the repository, + the runtime used to try finding an object always from the + newest packfile; it now tries the same packfile as we found + the object requested the last time, which exploits the + locality of references. + + - verifying pack contents done by "git fsck --full" got boost + by carefully choosing the order to verify objects in them. + + - "git read-tree -m" to read into an already populated index + has been optimized vastly. The effect of this can be seen + when switching branches that have differences in only a + handful paths. + + - "git add paths..." and "git commit paths..." has also been + heavily optimized. + +Fixes since v1.5.2 +------------------ + +All of the fixes in v1.5.2 maintenance series are included in +this release, unless otherwise noted. + +* Bugfixes + + - "gitweb" had trouble handling non UTF-8 text with older + Encode.pm Perl module. + + - "git svn" misparsed the data from the commits in the repository when + the user had "color.diff = true" in the configuration. This has been + fixed. + + - There was a case where "git svn dcommit" clobbered changes made on the + SVN side while committing multiple changes. + + - "git-write-tree" had a bad interaction with racy-git avoidance and + gitattributes mechanisms. + + - "git --bare command" overrode existing GIT_DIR setting and always + made it treat the current working directory as GIT_DIR. + + - "git ls-files --error-unmatch" does not complain if you give the + same path pattern twice by mistake. + + - "git init" autodetected core.filemode but not core.symlinks, which + made a new directory created automatically by "git clone" cumbersome + to use on filesystems that require these configurations to be set. + + - "git log" family of commands behaved differently when run as "git + log" (no pathspec) and as "git log --" (again, no pathspec).

Earlier, if multiple identical rename sources were + found in the preimage, the source used was picked pretty much at random. + + * Value "true" for color.diff and color.status configuration used to + mean "always" (even when the output is not going to a terminal). + This has been corrected to mean the same thing as "auto". + + * "git diff" Porcelain now respects diff.external configuration, which + is another way to specify GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF. + + * "git diff" can be told to use different prefixes other than + "a/" and "b/" e.g. "git diff --src-prefix=l/ --dst-prefix=k/". + + * "git diff" sometimes did not quote paths with funny + characters properly. + + * "git log" (and any revision traversal commands) misbehaved + when --diff-filter is given but was not asked to actually + produce diff. + + * HTTP proxy can be specified per remote repository using + remote.*.httpproxy configuration, or global http.proxy configuration + variable. + + * Various Perforce importer updates. + + * Example update and post-receive hooks have been improved. + + * Any command that wants to take a commit object name can now use + ":/string" syntax to name a commit. + + * "git reset" is now built-in and its output can be squelched with -q. + + * "git reset --hard" does not make any sense in a bare + repository, but did not error out; fixed. + + * "git send-email" can optionally talk over ssmtp and use SMTP-AUTH. + + * "git rebase" learned --whitespace option. + + * In "git rebase", when you decide not to replay a particular change + after the command stopped with a conflict, you can say "git rebase + --skip" without first running "git reset --hard", as the command now + runs it for you. + + * "git rebase --interactive" mode can now work on detached HEAD. + + * Other minor to serious bugs in "git rebase -i" have been fixed. + + * "git rebase" now detaches head during its operation, so after a + successful "git rebase" operation, the reflog entry branch@{1} for + the current branch points at the commit before the rebase was + started. + + * "git rebase -i" also triggers rerere to help your repeated merges. + + * "git merge" can call the "post-merge" hook. + + * "git pack-objects" can optionally run deltification with multiple + threads. + + * "git archive" can optionally substitute keywords in files marked with + export-subst attribute. + + * "git cherry-pick" made a misguided attempt to repeat the original + command line in the generated log message, when told to cherry-pick a + commit by naming a tag that points at it. It does not anymore. + + * "git for-each-ref" learned %(xxxdate:<date-format>) syntax to show the + various date fields in different formats. + + * "git gc --auto" is a low-impact way to automatically run a variant of + "git repack" that does not lose unreferenced objects (read: safer + than the usual one) after the user accumulates too many loose + objects. + + * "git clean" has been rewritten in C. + + * You need to explicitly set clean.requireForce to "false" to allow + "git clean" without -f to do any damage (lack of the configuration + variable used to mean "do not require -f option to lose untracked + files", but we now use the safer default). + + * The kinds of whitespace errors "git diff" and "git apply" notice (and + fix) can be controlled via 'core.whitespace' configuration variable + and 'whitespace' attribute in .gitattributes file. + + * "git push" learned --dry-run option to show what would happen if a + push is run. + + * "git push" does not update a tracking ref on the local side when the + remote refused to update the corresponding ref. + + * "git push" learned --mirror option. This is to push the local refs + one-to-one to the remote, and deletes refs from the remote that do + not exist anymore in the repository on the pushing side. + + * "git push" can remove a corrupt ref at the remote site with the usual + ":ref" refspec. + + * "git remote" knows --mirror mode. This is to set up configuration to + push into a remote repository to store local branch heads to the same + branch on the remote side, and remove branch heads locally removed + from local repository at the same time. Suitable for pushing into a + back-up repository. + + * "git remote" learned "rm" subcommand. + + * "git cvsserver" can be run via "git shell". Also, "cvs" is + recognized as a synonym for "git cvsserver", so that CVS users + can be switched to git just by changing their login shell. + + * "git cvsserver" acts more like receive-pack by running post-receive + and post-update hooks. + + * "git am" and "git rebase" are far less verbose. + + * "git pull" learned to pass --[no-]ff option to underlying "git + merge". + + * "git pull --rebase" is a different way to integrate what you fetched + into your current branch. + + * "git fast-export" produces data-stream that can be fed to fast-import + to reproduce the history recorded in a git repository. + + * "git add -i" takes pathspecs to limit the set of files to work on. + + * "git add -p" is a short-hand to go directly to the selective patch + subcommand in the interactive command loop and to exit when done. + + * "git add -i" UI has been colorized. The interactive prompt + and menu can be colored by setting color.interactive + configuration. The diff output (including the hunk picker) + are colored with color.diff configuration. + + * "git commit --allow-empty" allows you to create a single-parent + commit that records the same tree as its parent, overriding the usual + safety valve. + + * "git commit --amend" can amend a merge that does not change the tree + from its first parent. + + * "git commit" used to unconditionally strip comment lines that + began with '#' and removed excess blank lines. This behavior has + been made configurable. + + * "git commit" has been rewritten in C. + + * "git stash random-text" does not create a new stash anymore. It was + a UI mistake. Use "git stash save random-text", or "git stash" + (without extra args) for that. + + * "git stash clear extra-text" does not clear the whole stash + anymore. It is tempting to expect "git stash clear stash@{2}" + to drop only a single named stash entry, and it is rude to + discard everything when that is asked (but not provided). + + * "git prune --expire <time>" can exempt young loose objects from + getting pruned. + + * "git branch --contains <commit>" can list branches that are + descendants of a given commit. + + * "git log" learned --early-output option to help interactive GUI + implementations. + + * "git bisect" learned "skip" action to mark untestable commits. + + * "git bisect visualize" learned a shorter synonym "git bisect view". + + * "git bisect visualize" runs "git log" in a non-windowed + environments. It also can be told what command to run (e.g. "git + bisect visualize tig"). + + * "git format-patch" learned "format.numbered" configuration variable + to automatically turn --numbered option on when more than one commits + are formatted. + + * "git ls-files" learned "--exclude-standard" to use the canned set of + exclude files. + + * "git tag -a -f existing" begins the editor session using the existing + annotation message. + + * "git tag -m one -m bar" (multiple -m options) behaves similarly to + "git commit"; the parameters to -m options are formatted as separate + paragraphs. + + * The format "git show" outputs an annotated tag has been updated to + include "Tagger: " and "Date: " lines from the tag itself. Strictly + speaking this is a backward incompatible change, but this is a + reasonable usability fix and people's scripts shouldn't have been + relying on the exact output from "git show" Porcelain anyway. + + * "git cvsimport" did not notice errors from underlying "cvsps" + and produced a corrupt import silently. + + * "git cvsexportcommit" learned -w option to specify and switch to the + CVS working directory. + + * "git checkout" from a subdirectory learned to use "../path" to allow + checking out a path outside the current directory without cd'ing up. + + * "git checkout" from and to detached HEAD leaves a bit more + information in the reflog. + + * "git send-email --dry-run" shows full headers for easier diagnosis. + + * "git merge-ours" is now built-in. + + * "git svn" learned "info" and "show-externals" subcommands. + + * "git svn" run from a subdirectory failed to read settings from the + .git/config. + + * "git svn" learned --use-log-author option, which picks up more + descriptive name from From: and Signed-off-by: lines in the commit + message. + + * "git svn" wasted way too much disk to record revision mappings + between svn and git; a new representation that is much more compact + for this information has been introduced to correct this. + + * "git svn" left temporary index files it used without cleaning them + up; this was corrected. + + * "git status" from a subdirectory now shows relative paths, which + makes copy-and-pasting for git-checkout/git-add/git-rm easier. The + traditional behavior to show the full path relative to the top of + the work tree can be had by setting status.relativepaths + configuration variable to false. + + * "git blame" kept text for each annotated revision in core needlessly; + this has been corrected. + + * "git shortlog" learned to default to HEAD when the standard input is + a terminal and the user did not give any revision parameter. + + * "git shortlog" learned "-e" option to show e-mail addresses as well as + authors' names. + + * "git help" learned "-w" option to show documentation in browsers. + + * In addition there are quite a few internal clean-ups. Notably: + + - many fork/exec have been replaced with run-command API, + brought from the msysgit effort. + + - introduction and more use of the option parser API. + + - enhancement and more use of the strbuf API. + + * Makefile tweaks to support HP-UX is in. + +Fixes since v1.5.3 +------------------ + +All of the fixes in v1.5.3 maintenance series are included in +this release, unless otherwise noted. + +These fixes are only in v1.5.4 and not backported to v1.5.3 maintenance +series. + + * The way "git diff --check" behaves is much more consistent with the way + "git apply --whitespace=warn"

Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command +line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in +1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding +output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this +release, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their +scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing +"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases. + +An earlier change to page "git status" output was overwhelmingly unpopular +and has been reverted. + +Source changes needed for porting to MinGW environment are now all in the +main git.git codebase. + +By default, packfiles created with this version uses delta-base-offset +encoding introduced in v1.4.4. Pack idx files are using version 2 that +allows larger packs and added robustness thanks to its CRC checking, +introduced in v1.5.2 and v1.4.4.5. If you want to keep your repositories +backwards compatible past these versions, set repack.useDeltaBaseOffset +to false or pack.indexVersion to 1, respectively. + +We used to prevent sample hook scripts shipped in templates/ from +triggering by default by relying on the fact that we install them as +unexecutable, but on some filesystems, this approach does not work. +They are now shipped with ".sample" suffix. If you want to activate +any of these samples as-is, rename them to drop the ".sample" suffix, +instead of running "chmod +x" on them. For example, you can rename +hooks/post-update.sample to hooks/post-update to enable the sample +hook that runs update-server-info, in order to make repositories +friendly to dumb protocols (i.e. HTTP). + +GIT_CONFIG, which was only documented as affecting "git config", but +actually affected all git commands, now only affects "git config". +GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, also only documented as affecting "git config" and +not different from GIT_CONFIG in a useful way, is removed. + +The ".dotest" temporary area "git am" and "git rebase" use is now moved +inside the $GIT_DIR, to avoid mistakes of adding it to the project by +accident. + +An ancient merge strategy "stupid" has been removed. + + +Updates since v1.5.6 +-------------------- + +(subsystems) + +* git-p4 in contrib learned "allowSubmit" configuration to control on + which branch to allow "submit" subcommand. + +* git-gui learned to stage changes per-line. + +(portability) + +* Changes for MinGW port have been merged, thanks to Johannes Sixt and + gangs. + +* Sample hook scripts shipped in templates/ are now suffixed with + *.sample. + +* perl's in-place edit (-i) does not work well without backup files on Windows; + some tests are rewritten to cope with this. + +(documentation) + +* Updated howto/update-hook-example + +* Got rid of usage of "git-foo" from the tutorial and made typography + more consistent. + +* Disambiguating "--" between revs and paths is finally documented. + +(performance, robustness, sanity etc.) + +* index-pack used too much memory when dealing with a deep delta chain. + This has been optimized. + +* reduced excessive inlining to shrink size of the "git" binary. + +* verify-pack checks the object CRC when using version 2 idx files. + +* When an object is corrupt in a pack, the object became unusable even + when the same object is available in a loose form, We now try harder to + fall back to these redundant objects when able.

v1.6.6 Release Notes +======================== + +Notes on behaviour change +------------------------- + + * In this release, "git fsck" defaults to "git fsck --full" and + checks packfiles, and because of this it will take much longer to + complete than before. If you prefer a quicker check only on loose + objects (the old default), you can say "git fsck --no-full". This + has been supported by 1.5.4 and newer versions of git, so it is + safe to write it in your script even if you use slightly older git + on some of your machines. + +Preparing yourselves for compatibility issues in 1.7.0 +------------------------------------------------------ + +In git 1.7.0, which is planned to be the release after 1.6.6, there will +be a handful of behaviour changes that will break backward compatibility. + +These changes were discussed long time ago and existing behaviours have +been identified as more problematic to the userbase than keeping them for +the sake of backward compatibility. + +When necessary, a transition strategy for existing users has been designed +not to force them running around setting configuration variables and +updating their scripts in order to either keep the traditional behaviour +or adjust to the new behaviour, on the day their sysadmin decides to install +the new version of git. When we switched from "git-foo" to "git foo" in +1.6.0, even though the change had been advertised and the transition +guide had been provided for a very long time, the users procrastinated +during the entire transition period, and ended up panicking on the day +their sysadmins updated their git installation. We are trying to avoid +repeating that unpleasantness in the 1.7.0 release. + +For changes decided to be in 1.7.0, commands that will be affected +have been much louder to strongly discourage such procrastination, and +they continue to be in this release. If you have been using recent +versions of git, you would have seen warnings issued when you used +features whose behaviour will change, with a clear instruction on how +to keep the existing behaviour if you want to. You hopefully are +already well prepared. + +Of course, we have also been giving "this and that will change in +1.7.0; prepare yourselves" warnings in the release notes and +announcement messages for the past few releases. Let's see how well +users will fare this time. + + * "git push" into a branch that is currently checked out (i.e. pointed by + HEAD in a repository that is not bare) will be refused by default. + + Similarly, "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch $killed + in a remote repository $there, when $killed branch is the current + branch pointed at by its HEAD, will be refused by default. + + Setting the configuration variables receive.denyCurrentBranch and + receive.denyDeleteCurrent to 'ignore' in the receiving repository + can be used to override these safety features. Versions of git + since 1.6.2 have issued a loud warning when you tried to do these + operations without setting the configuration, so repositories of + people who still need to be able to perform such a push should + already have been future proofed. + + Please refer to: + + http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitFaq#non-bare + https://lore.kernel.org/git/7vbptlsuyv.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org/ + + for more details on the reason why this change is needed and the + transition process that already took place so far. + + * "git send-email" will not make deep threads by default when sending a + patch series with more than two messages. All messages will be sent + as a reply to the first message, i.e. cover letter. Git 1.6.6 (this + release) will issue a warning about the upcoming default change, when + it uses the traditional "deep threading" behaviour as the built-in + default. To squelch the warning but still use the "deep threading" + behaviour, give --chain-reply-to option or set sendemail.chainreplyto + to true. + + It has been possible to configure send-email to send "shallow thread" + by setting sendemail.chainreplyto configuration variable to false. + The only thing 1.7.0 release will do is to change the default when + you haven't configured that variable. + + * "git status" will not be "git commit --dry-run". This change does not + affect you if you run the command without pathspec. + + Nobody sane found the current behaviour of "git status Makefile" useful + nor meaningful, and it confused users. "git commit --dry-run" has been + provided as a way to get the current behaviour of this command since + 1.6.5. + + * "git diff" traditionally treated various "ignore whitespace" options + only as a way to filter the patch output. "git diff --exit-code -b" + exited with non-zero status even if all changes were about changing the + amount of whitespace and nothing else. and "git diff -b" showed the + "diff --git" header line for such a change without patch text. + + In 1.7.0, the "ignore whitespaces" will affect the semantics of the + diff operation itself. A change that does not affect anything but + whitespaces will be reported with zero exit status when run with + --exit-code, and there will not be "diff --git" header for such a + change. + + +Updates since v1.6.5 +-------------------- + +(subsystems) + + * various gitk updates including use of themed widgets under Tk 8.5, + Japanese translation, a fix to a bug when running "gui blame" from + a subdirectory, etc. + + * various git-gui updates including new translations, wm states fixes, + Tk bug workaround after quitting, improved heuristics to trigger gc, + etc. + + * various git-svn updates. + + * "git fetch" over http learned a new mode that is different from the + traditional "dumb commit walker". + +(portability) + + * imap-send can be built on mingw port. + +(performance) + + * "git diff -B" has smaller memory footprint. + +(usability, bells and whistles) + + * The object replace mechanism can be bypassed with --no-replace-objects + global option given to the "git" program. + + * In configuration files, a few variables that name paths can begin with ~/ + and ~username/ and they are expanded as expected. + + * "git subcmd -h" now shows short usage help for many more subcommands. + + * "git bisect reset" can reset to an arbitrary commit. + + * "git checkout frotz" when there is no local branch "frotz" but there + is only one remote tracking branch "frotz" is taken as a request to + start the named branch at the corresponding remote tracking branch. + + * "git commit -c/-C/--amend" can be told with a new "--reset-author" option + to ignore authorship information in the commit it is taking the message + from. + + * "git describe" can be told to add "-dirty" suffix with "--dirty" option. + + * "git diff" learned --submodule option to show a list of one-line logs + instead of differences between the commit object names. + + * "git diff" learned to honor diff.color.func configuration to paint + function name hint printed on the hunk header "@@ -j,k +l,m @@" line + in the specified color. + + * "git fetch" learned --all and --multiple options, to run fetch from + many repositories, and --prune option to remove remote tracking + branches that went stale.

In this release, these commands give a warning message that +suggests the users to use "git add -u/-A ." when they want to limit +the scope to the current directory; doing so will squelch the message, +while training their fingers. + + +Backward compatibility notes (for Git 2.0) +------------------------------------------ + +When "git push [$there]" does not say what to push, we have used the +traditional "matching" semantics so far (all your branches were sent +to the remote as long as there already are branches of the same name +over there). In Git 2.0, the default will change to the "simple" +semantics that pushes the current branch to the branch with the same +name, only when the current branch is set to integrate with that +remote branch. There is a user preference configuration variable +"push.default" to change this. If you are an old-timer who is used +to the "matching" semantics, you can set it to "matching" to keep the +traditional behaviour. If you want to live in the future early, +you can set it to "simple" today without waiting for Git 2.0. + +When "git add -u" and "git add -A", that does not specify what paths +to add on the command line is run from inside a subdirectory, these +commands will operate on the entire tree in Git 2.0 for consistency +with "git commit -a" and other commands. Because there will be no +mechanism to make "git add -u" behave as if "git add -u .", it is +important for those who are used to "git add -u" (without pathspec) +updating the index only for paths in the current subdirectory to start +training their fingers to explicitly say "git add -u ." when they mean +it before Git 2.0 comes. + + +Updates since v1.8.1 +-------------------- + +UI, Workflows & Features + + * Initial ports to QNX and z/OS UNIX System Services have started. + + * Output from the tests is coloured using "green is okay, yellow is + questionable, red is bad and blue is informative" scheme. + + * Mention of "GIT/Git/git" in the documentation have been updated to + be more uniform and consistent. The name of the system and the + concept it embodies is "Git"; the command the users type is "git". + All-caps "GIT" was merely a way to imitate "Git" typeset in small + caps in our ASCII text only documentation and to be avoided. + + * The completion script (in contrib/completion) used to let the + default completer to suggest pathnames, which gave too many + irrelevant choices (e.g. "git add" would not want to add an + unmodified path). It learnt to use a more git-aware logic to + enumerate only relevant ones. + + * In bare repositories, "git shortlog" and other commands now read + mailmap files from the tip of the history, to help running these + tools in server settings. + + * Color specifiers, e.g. "%C(blue)Hello%C(reset)", used in the + "--format=" option of "git log" and friends can be disabled when + the output is not sent to a terminal by prefixing them with + "auto,", e.g. "%C(auto,blue)Hello%C(auto,reset)". + + * Scripts can ask Git that wildcard patterns in pathspecs they give do + not have any significance, i.e. take them as literal strings. + + * The patterns in .gitignore and .gitattributes files can have **/, + as a pattern that matches 0 or more levels of subdirectory. + E.g. "foo/**/bar" matches "bar" in "foo" itself or in a + subdirectory of "foo". + + * When giving arguments without "--" disambiguation, object names + that come earlier on the command line must not be interpretable as + pathspecs and pathspecs that come later on the command line must + not be interpretable as object names. This disambiguation rule has + been tweaked so that ":/" (no other string before or after) is + always interpreted as a pathspec; "git cmd -- :/" is no longer + needed, you can just say "git cmd :/". + + * Various "hint" lines Git gives when it asks the user to edit + messages in the editor are commented out with '#' by default. The + core.commentchar configuration variable can be used to customize + this '#' to a different character. + + * "git add -u" and "git add -A" without pathspec issues warning to + make users aware that they are only operating on paths inside the + subdirectory they are in.

(everything from the $cwd) to disambiguate. + + * "git blame" (and "git diff") learned the "--no-follow" option. + + * "git branch" now rejects some nonsense combinations of command line + arguments (e.g. giving more than one branch name to rename) with + more case-specific error messages. + + * "git check-ignore" command to help debugging .gitignore files has + been added. + + * "git cherry-pick" can be used to replay a root commit to an unborn + branch. + + * "git commit" can be told to use --cleanup=whitespace by setting the + configuration variable commit.cleanup to 'whitespace'. + + * "git diff" and other Porcelain commands can be told to use a + non-standard algorithm by setting diff.algorithm configuration + variable. + + * "git fetch --mirror" and fetch that uses other forms of refspec + with wildcard used to attempt to update a symbolic ref that match + the wildcard on the receiving end, which made little sense (the + real ref that is pointed at by the symbolic ref would be updated + anyway). Symbolic refs no longer are affected by such a fetch. + + * "git format-patch" now detects more cases in which a whole branch + is being exported, and uses the description for the branch, when + asked to write a cover letter for the series. + + * "git format-patch" learned "-v $count" option, and prepends a + string "v$count-" to the names of its output files, and also + automatically sets the subject prefix to "PATCH v$count". This + allows patches from rerolled series to be stored under different + names and makes it easier to reuse cover letter messages. + + * "git log" and friends can be told with --use-mailmap option to + rewrite the names and email addresses of people using the mailmap + mechanism. + + * "git log --cc --graph" now shows the combined diff output with the + ancestry graph. + + * "git log --grep=<pattern>" honors i18n.logoutputencoding to look + for the pattern after fixing the log message to the specified + encoding. + + * "git mergetool" and "git difftool" learned to list the available + tool backends in a more consistent manner. + + * "git mergetool" is aware of TortoiseGitMerge now and uses it over + TortoiseMerge when available. + + * "git push" now requires "-f" to update a tag, even if it is a + fast-forward, as tags are meant to be fixed points. + + * Error messages from "git push" when it stops to prevent remote refs + from getting overwritten by mistake have been improved to explain + various situations separately. + + * "git push" will stop without doing anything if the new "pre-push" + hook exists and exits with a failure. + + * When "git rebase" fails to generate patches to be applied (e.g. due + to oom), it failed to detect the failure and instead behaved as if + there were nothing to do. A workaround to use a temporary file has + been applied, but we probably would want to revisit this later, as + it hurts the common case of not failing at all. + + * Input and preconditions to "git reset" has been loosened where + appropriate. "git reset $fromtree Makefile" requires $fromtree to + be any tree (it used to require it to be a commit), for example. + "git reset" (without options or parameters) used to error out when + you do not have any commits in your history, but it now gives you + an empty index (to match non-existent commit you are not even on). + + * "git status" says what branch is being bisected or rebased when + able, not just "bisecting" or "rebasing". + + * "git submodule" started learning a new mode to integrate with the + tip of the remote branch (as opposed to integrating with the commit + recorded in the superproject's gitlink). + + * "git upload-pack" which implements the service "ls-remote" and + "fetch" talk to can be told to hide ref hierarchies the server + side internally uses (and that clients have no business learning + about) with transfer.hiderefs configuration. + + +Foreign Interface + + * "git fast-export" has been updated for its use in the context of + the remote helper interface. + + * A new remote helper to interact with bzr has been added to contrib/. + + * "git p4" got various bugfixes around its branch handling.

In addition, its various + portability issues for Cygwin have been addressed. + + * The remote helper to interact with Hg in contrib/ has seen a few + fixes. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, etc. + + * "git fsck" has been taught to be pickier about entries in tree + objects that should not be there, e.g. ".", ".git", and "..". + + * Matching paths with common forms of pathspecs that contain wildcard + characters has been optimized further. + + * We stopped paying attention to $GIT_CONFIG environment that points + at a single configuration file from any command other than "git config" + quite a while ago, but "git clone" internally set, exported, and + then unexported the variable during its operation unnecessarily. + + * "git reset" internals has been reworked and should be faster in + general. We tried to be careful not to break any behaviour but + there could be corner cases, especially when running the command + from a conflicted state, that we may have missed. + + * The implementation of "imap-send" has been updated to reuse xml + quoting code from http-push codepath, and lost a lot of unused + code. + + * There is a simple-minded checker for the test scripts in t/ + directory to catch most common mistakes (it is not enabled by + default). + + * You can build with USE_WILDMATCH=YesPlease to use a replacement + implementation of pattern matching logic used for pathname-like + things, e.g. refnames and paths in the repository. This new + implementation is not expected change the existing behaviour of Git + in this release, except for "git for-each-ref" where you can now + say "refs/**/master" and match with both refs/heads/master and + refs/remotes/origin/master. We plan to use this new implementation + in wider places (e.g. "git ls-files '**/Makefile' may find Makefile + at the top-level, and "git log '**/t*.sh'" may find commits that + touch a shell script whose name begins with "t" at any level) in + future versions of Git, but we are not there yet. By building with + USE_WILDMATCH, using the resulting Git daily and reporting when you + find breakages, you can help us get closer to that goal. + + * Some reimplementations of Git do not write all the stat info back + to the index due to their implementation limitations (e.g. jgit). + A configuration option can tell Git to ignore changes to most of + the stat fields and only pay attention to mtime and size, which + these implementations can reliably update.

We ignore these signals now. + (merge 0398fc34 pf/editor-ignore-sigint later to maint). + + * A child process that was killed by a signal (e.g. SIGINT) was + reported in an inconsistent way depending on how the process was + spawned by us, with or without a shell in between. + + * After failing to create a temporary file using mkstemp(), failing + pathname was not reported correctly on some platforms. + + * We used to stuff "user@" and then append what we read from + /etc/mailname to come up with a default e-mail ident, but a bug + lost the "user@" part. + + * The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be + applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the + exclude mechanism does. The initial implementation of this that + was merged to 'maint' and 1.8.1.2 was with a severe performance + degradations and needs to merge a fix-up topic. + + * The smart HTTP clients forgot to verify the content-type that comes + back from the server side to make sure that the request is being + handled properly. + + * "git am" did not parse datestamp correctly from Hg generated patch, + when it is run in a locale outside C (or en). + + * "git apply" misbehaved when fixing whitespace breakages by removing + excess trailing blank lines. + + * "git apply --summary" has been taught to make sure the similarity + value shown in its output is sensible, even when the input had a + bogus value. + + * A tar archive created by "git archive" recorded a directory in a + way that made NetBSD's implementation of "tar" sometimes unhappy. + + * "git archive" did not record uncompressed size in the header when + streaming a zip archive, which confused some implementations of unzip. + + * "git archive" did not parse configuration values in tar.* namespace + correctly. + (merge b3873c3 jk/config-parsing-cleanup later to maint). + + * Attempt to "branch --edit-description" an existing branch, while + being on a detached HEAD, errored out. + + * "git clean" showed what it was going to do, but sometimes end up + finding that it was not allowed to do so, which resulted in a + confusing output (e.g. after saying that it will remove an + untracked directory, it found an embedded git repository there + which it is not allowed to remove).

In Git 2.0, the default will change to the "simple" +semantics that pushes only the current branch to the branch with the same +name, and only when the current branch is set to integrate with that +remote branch. Use the user preference configuration variable +"push.default" to change this. If you are an old-timer who is used +to the "matching" semantics, you can set the variable to "matching" +to keep the traditional behaviour. If you want to live in the future +early, you can set it to "simple" today without waiting for Git 2.0. + +When "git add -u" (and "git add -A") is run inside a subdirectory and +does not specify which paths to add on the command line, it +will operate on the entire tree in Git 2.0 for consistency +with "git commit -a" and other commands. There will be no +mechanism to make plain "git add -u" behave like "git add -u .". +Current users of "git add -u" (without a pathspec) should start +training their fingers to explicitly say "git add -u ." +before Git 2.0 comes. A warning is issued when these commands are +run without a pathspec and when you have local changes outside the +current directory, because the behaviour in Git 2.0 will be different +from today's version in such a situation. + +In Git 2.0, "git add <path>" will behave as "git add -A <path>", so +that "git add dir/" will notice paths you removed from the directory +and record the removal. Versions before Git 2.0, including this +release, will keep ignoring removals, but the users who rely on this +behaviour are encouraged to start using "git add --ignore-removal <path>" +now before 2.0 is released. + + +Updates since v1.8.2 +-------------------- + +Foreign interface + + * remote-hg and remote-bzr helpers (in contrib/ since v1.8.2) have + been updated; especially, the latter has been done in an + accelerated schedule (read: we may not have merged to this release + if we were following the usual "cook sufficiently in next before + unleashing it to the world" workflow) in order to help Emacs folks, + whose primary SCM seems to be stagnating. + + +UI, Workflows & Features + + * A handful of updates applied to gitk, including an addition of + "revert" action, showing dates in tags in a nicer way, making + colors configurable, and support for -G'pickaxe' search. + + * The prompt string generator (in contrib/completion/) learned to + show how many changes there are in total and how many have been + replayed during a "git rebase" session. + + * "git branch --vv" learned to paint the name of the branch it + integrates with in a different color (color.branch.upstream, + which defaults to blue). + + * In a sparsely populated working tree, "git checkout <pathspec>" no + longer unmarks paths that match the given pathspec that were + originally ignored with "--sparse" (use --ignore-skip-worktree-bits + option to resurrect these paths out of the index if you really want + to). + + * "git log --format" specifier learned %C(auto) token that tells Git + to use color when interpolating %d (decoration), %h (short commit + object name), etc. for terminal output. + + * "git bisect" leaves the final outcome as a comment in its bisect + log file. + + * "git clone --reference" can now refer to a gitfile "textual symlink" + that points at the real location of the repository. + + * "git count-objects" learned "--human-readable" aka "-H" option to + show various large numbers in Ki/Mi/GiB scaled as necessary. + + * "git cherry-pick $blob" and "git cherry-pick $tree" are nonsense, + and a more readable error message e.g. "can't cherry-pick a tree" + is given (we used to say "expected exactly one commit"). + + * The "--annotate" option to "git send-email" can be turned on (or + off) by default with sendemail.annotate configuration variable (you + can use --no-annotate from the command line to override it). + + * The "--cover-letter" option to "git format-patch" can be turned on + (or off) by default with format.coverLetter configuration + variable. By setting it to 'auto', you can turn it on only for a + series with two or more patches. + + * The bash completion support (in contrib/) learned that cherry-pick + takes a few more options than it already knew about. + + * "git help" learned "-g" option to show the list of guides just like + list of commands are given with "-a". + + * A triangular "pull from one place, push to another place" workflow + is supported better by new remote.pushdefault (overrides the + "origin" thing) and branch.*.pushremote (overrides the + branch.*.remote) configuration variables. + + * "git status" learned to report that you are in the middle of a + revert session, just like it does for a cherry-pick and a bisect + session. + + * The handling by "git branch --set-upstream-to" against various forms + of erroneous inputs was suboptimal and has been improved. + + * When the interactive access to git-shell is not enabled, it issues + a message meant to help the system administrator to enable it.

A new peeling suffix ^{object} + can be used for that purpose, together with "rev-parse --verify". + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, etc. + + * Updates for building under msvc. + + * A handful of issues in the code that traverses the working tree to find + untracked and/or ignored files have been fixed, and the general + codepath involved in "status -u" and "clean" have been cleaned up + and optimized. + + * The stack footprint of some codepaths that access an object from a + pack has been shrunk. + + * The logic to coalesce the same lines removed from the parents in + the output from "diff -c/--cc" has been updated, but with O(n^2) + complexity, so this might turn out to be undesirable. + + * The code to enforce permission bits on files in $GIT_DIR/ for + shared repositories has been simplified. + + * A few codepaths know how much data they need to put in the + hashtables they use when they start, but still began with small tables + and repeatedly grew and rehashed them. + + * The API to walk reflog entries from the latest to older, which was + necessary for operations such as "git checkout -", was cumbersome + to use correctly and also inefficient. + + * Codepaths that inspect log-message-to-be and decide when to add a + new Signed-off-by line in various commands have been consolidated. + + * The pkt-line API, implementation and its callers have been cleaned + up to make them more robust. + + * The Cygwin port has a faster-but-lying lstat(2) emulation whose + incorrectness does not matter in practice except for a few + codepaths, and setting permission bits on directories is a codepath + that needs to use a more correct one. + + * "git checkout" had repeated pathspec matches on the same paths, + which have been consolidated. Also a bug in "git checkout dir/" + that is started from an unmerged index has been fixed. + + * A few bugfixes to "git rerere" working on corner case merge + conflicts have been applied. + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v1.8.2 +------------------ + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.8.2 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for +details). + + * Recent versions of File::Temp (used by "git svn") started blowing + up when its tempfile sub is called as a class method; updated the + callsite to call it as a plain vanilla function to fix it. + (merge eafc2dd hb/git-pm-tempfile later to maint). + + * Various subcommands of "git remote" simply ignored extraneous + command line arguments instead of diagnosing them as errors. + + * When receive-pack detects an error in the pack header it received in + order to decide which of unpack-objects or index-pack to run, it + returned without closing the error stream, which led to a hung + sideband thread. + + * Zsh completion forgot that the '%' character used to signal untracked + files needs to be escaped with another '%'. + + * A commit object whose author or committer ident are malformed + crashed some code that trusted that a name, an email and a + timestamp can always be found in it. + + * When "upload-pack" fails while generating a pack in response to + "git fetch" (or "git clone"), the receiving side had + a programming error that triggered the die handler + recursively. + + * "rev-list --stdin" and friends kept bogus pointers into the input + buffer around as human readable object names.

Make it honor the --no-textconv + option. + + * When used with the "-d temporary-directory" option, "git filter-branch" + failed to come back to the original working tree to perform the + final clean-up procedure. + + * "git merge $(git rev-parse v1.8.2)" behaved quite differently from + "git merge v1.8.2", as if v1.8.2 were written as v1.8.2^0 and did + not pay much attention to the annotated tag payload.

The meaning + of the option has been changed to always show "HEAD" regardless of + what filtering will be applied to any other ref. + + This is a backward incompatible change and might cause breakages to + people's existing scripts. + + * "git show -s" was less discoverable than it should have been.

The message has finally been removed. + + * "git fetch origin master" unlike "git fetch origin" or "git fetch" + did not update "refs/remotes/origin/master"; this was an early + design decision to keep the update of remote tracking branches + predictable, but in practice it turns out that people find it more + convenient to opportunistically update them whenever we have a + chance, and we have been updating them when we run "git push" which + already breaks the original "predictability" anyway. + + * The configuration variable core.checkstat was advertised in the + documentation but the code expected core.statinfo instead. + For now, we accept both core.checkstat and core.statinfo, but the + latter will be removed in the longer term. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, etc. + + * On Cygwin, we used to use our own lstat(2) emulation that is + allegedly faster than the platform one in codepaths where some of + the information it returns did not matter, but it started to bite + us in a few codepaths where the trick it uses to cheat does show + breakages. This emulation has been removed and we use the native + lstat(2) emulation supplied by Cygwin now. + + * The function attributes extensions are used to catch mistakes in + use of our own variadic functions that use NULL sentinel at the end + (i.e. like execl(3)) and format strings (i.e. like printf(3)). + + * The code to allow configuration data to be read from in-tree blob + objects is in. This may help working in a bare repository and + submodule updates. + + * Fetching between repositories with many refs employed O(n^2) + algorithm to match up the common objects, which has been corrected. + + * The original way to specify remote repository using .git/branches/ + used to have a nifty feature. The code to support the feature was + still in a function but the caller was changed not to call it 5 + years ago, breaking that feature and leaving the supporting code + unreachable. The dead code has been removed. + + * "git pack-refs" that races with new ref creation or deletion have + been susceptible to lossage of refs under right conditions, which + has been tightened up. + + * We read loose and packed references in two steps, but after + deciding to read a loose ref but before actually opening it to read + it, another process racing with us can unlink it, which would cause + us to barf. The codepath has been updated to retry when such a + race is detected, instead of outright failing. + + * Uses of the platform fnmatch(3) function (many places in the code, + matching pathspec, .gitignore and .gitattributes to name a few) + have been replaced with wildmatch, allowing "foo/**/bar" that would + match foo/bar, foo/a/bar, foo/a/b/bar, etc. + + * Memory ownership and lifetime rules for what for-each-ref feeds to + its callbacks have been clarified (in short, "you do not own it, so + make a copy if you want to keep it"). + + * The revision traversal logic to improve culling of irrelevant + parents while traversing a mergy history has been updated. + + * Some leaks in unpack-trees (used in merge, cherry-pick and other + codepaths) have been plugged. + + * The codepath to read from marks files in fast-import/export did not + have to accept anything but 40-hex representation of the object + name. Further, fast-export did not need full in-core object + representation to have parsed wen reading from them.

This is an old breakage in + v1.7.11 and will need to be merged down to the maintenance tracks. + + * Older cURL wanted piece of memory we call it with to be stable, but + we updated the auth material after handing it to a call. + + * "git pull" into nothing trashed "local changes" that were in the + index, and this avoids it. + + * Many "git submodule" operations do not work on a submodule at a + path whose name is not in ASCII. + + * "cherry-pick" had a small leak in an error codepath. + + * Logic used by git-send-email to suppress cc mishandled names like + "A U. Thor" <author@example.xz>, where the human readable part + needs to be quoted (the user input may not have the double quotes + around the name, and comparison was done between quoted and + unquoted strings). It also mishandled names that need RFC2047 + quoting. + + * Call to discard_cache/discard_index (used when we use different + contents of the index in-core, in many operations like commit, + apply, and merge) used to leak memory that held the array of index + entries, which has been plugged. + (merge a0fc4db rs/discard-index-discard-array later to maint). + + * "gitweb" forgot to clear a global variable $search_regexp upon each + request, mistakenly carrying over the previous search to a new one + when used as a persistent CGI. + + * The wildmatch engine did not honor WM_CASEFOLD option correctly. + + * "git log -c --follow $path" segfaulted upon hitting the commit that + renamed the $path being followed. + + * When a reflog notation is used for implicit "current branch", we + did not say which branch and worse said "branch ''". + + * "difftool --dir-diff" did not copy back changes made by the + end-user in the diff tool backend to the working tree in some + cases. + + * "git push $there HEAD:branch" did not resolve HEAD early enough, so + it was easy to flip it around while push is still going on and push + out a branch that the user did not originally intended when the + command was started. + + * The bash prompt code (in contrib/) displayed the name of the branch + being rebased when "rebase -i/-m/-p" modes are in use, but not the + plain vanilla "rebase". + + * Handling of negative exclude pattern for directories "!dir" was + broken in the update to v1.8.3. + + * zsh prompt script that borrowed from bash prompt script did not + work due to slight differences in array variable notation between + these two shells. + + * An entry for "file://" scheme in the enumeration of URL types Git + can take in the HTML documentation was made into a clickable link + by mistake. + + * "git push --[no-]verify" was not documented. + + * Stop installing the git-remote-testpy script that is only used for + testing. + + * "git commit --allow-empty-message -m ''" should not start an + editor. + + * "git merge @{-1}~22" was rewritten to "git merge frotz@{1}~22" + incorrectly when your previous branch was "frotz" (it should be + rewritten to "git merge frotz~22" instead). + + * "git diff -c -p" was not showing a deleted line from a hunk when + another hunk immediately begins where the earlier one ends. + + * "git log --ancestry-path A...B" did not work as expected, as it did + not pay attention to the fact that the merge base between A and B + was the bottom of the range being specified. + + * Mac OS X does not like to write(2) more than INT_MAX number of + bytes; work it around by chopping write(2) into smaller pieces. + + * Newer MacOS X encourages the programs to compile and link with + their CommonCrypto, not with OpenSSL. + + * "git clone foo/bar:baz" cannot be a request to clone from a remote + over git-over-ssh specified in the scp style.

In Git 2.0, the default will change to the "simple" +semantics, which pushes: + + - only the current branch to the branch with the same name, and only + when the current branch is set to integrate with that remote + branch, if you are pushing to the same remote as you fetch from; or + + - only the current branch to the branch with the same name, if you + are pushing to a remote that is not where you usually fetch from. + +Use the user preference configuration variable "push.default" to +change this. If you are an old-timer who is used to the "matching" +semantics, you can set the variable to "matching" to keep the +traditional behaviour. If you want to live in the future early, you +can set it to "simple" today without waiting for Git 2.0. + +When "git add -u" (and "git add -A") is run inside a subdirectory and +does not specify which paths to add on the command line, it +will operate on the entire tree in Git 2.0 for consistency +with "git commit -a" and other commands. There will be no +mechanism to make plain "git add -u" behave like "git add -u .". +Current users of "git add -u" (without a pathspec) should start +training their fingers to explicitly say "git add -u ." +before Git 2.0 comes. A warning is issued when these commands are +run without a pathspec and when you have local changes outside the +current directory, because the behaviour in Git 2.0 will be different +from today's version in such a situation. + +In Git 2.0, "git add <path>" will behave as "git add -A <path>", so +that "git add dir/" will notice paths you removed from the directory +and record the removal. Versions before Git 2.0, including this +release, will keep ignoring removals, but the users who rely on this +behaviour are encouraged to start using "git add --ignore-removal <path>" +now before 2.0 is released. + +The default prefix for "git svn" will change in Git 2.0. For a long +time, "git svn" created its remote-tracking branches directly under +refs/remotes, but it will place them under refs/remotes/origin/ unless +it is told otherwise with its --prefix option. + + +Updates since v1.8.4 +-------------------- + +Foreign interfaces, subsystems and ports. + + * "git-svn" has been taught to use the serf library, which is the + only option SVN 1.8.0 offers us when talking the HTTP protocol. + + * "git-svn" talking over an https:// connection using the serf library + dumped core due to a bug in the serf library that SVN uses.

Careless users who forget to sufficiently quote $args +get their argument split at $IFS whitespaces by the shell, and got +unexpected results due to this. Starting from this release, the +command line is passed directly to the shell, if it has an argument. + +Read-only support for experimental loose-object format, in which users +could optionally choose to write their loose objects for a short +while between v1.4.3 and v1.5.3 era, has been dropped. + +The meanings of the "--tags" option to "git fetch" has changed; the +command fetches tags _in addition to_ what is fetched by the same +command line without the option. + +The way "git push $there $what" interprets the $what part given on the +command line, when it does not have a colon that explicitly tells us +what ref at the $there repository is to be updated, has been enhanced. + +A handful of ancient commands that have long been deprecated are +finally gone (repo-config, tar-tree, lost-found, and peek-remote). + + +Backward compatibility notes (for Git 2.0.0) +-------------------------------------------- + +When "git push [$there]" does not say what to push, we have used the +traditional "matching" semantics so far (all your branches were sent +to the remote as long as there already are branches of the same name +over there). In Git 2.0, the default will change to the "simple" +semantics, which pushes: + + - only the current branch to the branch with the same name, and only + when the current branch is set to integrate with that remote + branch, if you are pushing to the same remote as you fetch from; or + + - only the current branch to the branch with the same name, if you + are pushing to a remote that is not where you usually fetch from. + +Use the user preference configuration variable "push.default" to +change this. If you are an old-timer who is used to the "matching" +semantics, you can set the variable to "matching" to keep the +traditional behaviour. If you want to live in the future early, you +can set it to "simple" today without waiting for Git 2.0. + +When "git add -u" (and "git add -A") is run inside a subdirectory and +does not specify which paths to add on the command line, it +will operate on the entire tree in Git 2.0 for consistency +with "git commit -a" and other commands. There will be no +mechanism to make plain "git add -u" behave like "git add -u .". +Current users of "git add -u" (without a pathspec) should start +training their fingers to explicitly say "git add -u ." +before Git 2.0 comes. A warning is issued when these commands are +run without a pathspec and when you have local changes outside the +current directory, because the behaviour in Git 2.0 will be different +from today's version in such a situation. + +In Git 2.0, "git add <path>" will behave as "git add -A <path>", so +that "git add dir/" will notice paths you removed from the directory +and record the removal. Versions before Git 2.0, including this +release, will keep ignoring removals, but the users who rely on this +behaviour are encouraged to start using "git add --ignore-removal <path>" +now before 2.0 is released. + +The default prefix for "git svn" will change in Git 2.0. For a long +time, "git svn" created its remote-tracking branches directly under +refs/remotes, but it will place them under refs/remotes/origin/ unless +it is told otherwise with its --prefix option. + + +Updates since v1.8.5 +-------------------- + +Foreign interfaces, subsystems and ports. + + * The HTTP transport, when talking GSS-Negotiate, uses "100 + Continue" response to avoid having to rewind and resend a large + payload, which may not be always doable. + + * Various bugfixes to remote-bzr and remote-hg (in contrib/). + + * The build procedure is aware of MirBSD now. + + * Various "git p4", "git svn" and "gitk" updates. + + +UI, Workflows & Features + + * Fetching from a shallowly-cloned repository used to be forbidden, + primarily because the codepaths involved were not carefully vetted + and we did not bother supporting such usage. This release attempts + to allow object transfer out of a shallowly-cloned repository in a + more controlled way (i.e. the receiver becomes a shallow repository + with a truncated history). + + * Just like we give a reasonable default for "less" via the LESS + environment variable, we now specify a reasonable default for "lv" + via the "LV" environment variable when spawning the pager. + + * Two-level configuration variable names in "branch.*" and "remote.*" + hierarchies, whose variables are predominantly three-level, were + not completed by hitting a <TAB> in bash and zsh completions. + + * Fetching a 'frotz' branch with "git fetch", while a 'frotz/nitfol' + remote-tracking branch from an earlier fetch was still there, would + error out, primarily because the command was not told that it is + allowed to lose any information on our side. "git fetch --prune" + now can be used to remove 'frotz/nitfol' to make room for fetching and + storing the 'frotz' remote-tracking branch. + + * "diff.orderfile=<file>" configuration variable can be used to + pretend as if the "-O<file>" option were given from the command + line of "git diff", etc. + + * The negative pathspec syntax allows "git log -- . ':!dir'" to tell + us "I am interested in everything but 'dir' directory". + + * "git difftool" shows how many different paths there are in total, + and how many of them have been shown so far, to indicate progress. + + * "git push origin master" used to push our 'master' branch to update + the 'master' branch at the 'origin' repository. This has been + enhanced to use the same ref mapping "git push origin" would use to + determine what ref at the 'origin' to be updated with our 'master'. + For example, with this configuration + + [remote "origin"] + push = refs/heads/*:refs/review/* + + that would cause "git push origin" to push out our local branches + to corresponding refs under refs/review/ hierarchy at 'origin', + "git push origin master" would update 'refs/review/master' over + there. Alternatively, if push.default is set to 'upstream' and our + 'master' is set to integrate with 'topic' from the 'origin' branch, + running "git push origin" while on our 'master' would update their + 'topic' branch, and running "git push origin master" while on any + of our branches does the same. + + * "gitweb" learned to treat ref hierarchies other than refs/heads as + if they are additional branch namespaces (e.g. refs/changes/ in + Gerrit). + + * "git for-each-ref --format=..." learned a few formatting directives; + e.g. "%(color:red)%(HEAD)%(color:reset) %(refname:short) %(subject)". + + * The command string given to "git submodule foreach" is passed + directly to the shell, without being eval'ed. This is a backward + incompatible change that may break existing users. + + * "git log" and friends learned the "--exclude=<glob>" option, to + allow people to say "list history of all branches except those that + match this pattern" with "git log --exclude='*/*' --branches". + + * "git rev-parse --parseopt" learned a new "--stuck-long" option to + help scripts parse options with an optional parameter. + + * The "--tags" option to "git fetch" no longer tells the command to + fetch _only_ the tags. It instead fetches tags _in addition to_ + what are fetched by the same command line without the option. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, etc. + + * When parsing a 40-hex string into the object name, the string is + checked to see if it can be interpreted as a ref so that a warning + can be given for ambiguity. The code kicked in even when the + core.warnambiguousrefs is set to false to squelch this warning, in + which case the cycles spent to look at the ref namespace were an + expensive no-op, as the result was discarded without being used. + + * The naming convention of the packfiles has been updated; it used to + be based on the enumeration of names of the objects that are + contained in the pack, but now it also depends on how the packed + result is represented--packing the same set of objects using + different settings (or delta order) would produce a pack with + different name. + + * "git diff --no-index" mode used to unnecessarily attempt to read + the index when there is one. + + * The deprecated parse-options macro OPT_BOOLEAN has been removed; + use OPT_BOOL or OPT_COUNTUP in new code. + + * A few duplicate implementations of prefix/suffix string comparison + functions have been unified to starts_with() and ends_with(). + + * The new PERLLIB_EXTRA makefile variable can be used to specify + additional directories Perl modules (e.g. the ones necessary to run + git-svn) are installed on the platform when building. + + * "git merge-base" learned the "--fork-point" mode, that implements + the same logic used in "git pull --rebase" to find a suitable fork + point out of the reflog entries for the remote-tracking branch the + work has been based on. "git rebase" has the same logic that can be + triggered with the "--fork-point" option. + + * A third-party "receive-pack" (the responder to "git push") can + advertise the "no-thin" capability to tell "git push" not to use + the thin-pack optimization. Our receive-pack has always been + capable of accepting and fattening a thin-pack, and will continue + not to ask "git push" to use a non-thin pack. + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v1.8.5 +------------------ + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.8.5 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' notes +for details). + + * The pathspec matching code, while comparing two trees (e.g. "git + diff A B -- path1 path2") was too aggressive and failed to match + some paths when multiple pathspecs were involved. + + * "git repack --max-pack-size=8g" stopped being parsed correctly when + the command was reimplemented in C. + + * An earlier update in v1.8.4.x to "git rev-list --objects" with + negative ref had a performance regression. + (merge 200abe7 jk/mark-edges-uninteresting later to maint). + + * A recent update to "git send-email" broke platforms where + /etc/ssl/certs/ directory exists but cannot be used as SSL_ca_path + (e.g. Fedora rawhide). + + * A handful of bugs around interpreting $branch@{upstream} notation + and its lookalike, when $branch part has interesting characters, + e.g. "@", and ":", have been fixed. + + * "git clone" would fail to clone from a repository that has a ref + directly under "refs/", e.g. "refs/stash", because different + validation paths do different things on such a refname.

The code to detect this case has also been + updated. + + * Some codepaths in "git pack-objects" were not ready to use an + existing pack bitmap; now they are and as a result they have + become faster. + + * The codepath in "git fsck" to detect malformed tree objects has + been updated not to die but keep going after detecting them. + + * We call "qsort(array, nelem, sizeof(array[0]), fn)", and most of + the time third parameter is redundant. A new QSORT() macro lets us + omit it. + + * "git pack-objects" in a repository with many packfiles used to + spend a lot of time looking for/at objects in them; the accesses to + the packfiles are now optimized by checking the most-recently-used + packfile first. + (merge c9af708b1a jk/pack-objects-optim-mru later to maint). + + * Codepaths involved in interacting alternate object stores have + been cleaned up. + + * In order for the receiving end of "git push" to inspect the + received history and decide to reject the push, the objects sent + from the sending end need to be made available to the hook and + the mechanism for the connectivity check, and this was done + traditionally by storing the objects in the receiving repository + and letting "git gc" expire them. Instead, store the newly + received objects in a temporary area, and make them available by + reusing the alternate object store mechanism to them only while we + decide if we accept the check, and once we decide, either migrate + them to the repository or purge them immediately. + + * The require_clean_work_tree() helper was recreated in C when "git + pull" was rewritten from shell; the helper is now made available to + other callers in preparation for upcoming "rebase -i" work. + + * "git upload-pack" had its code cleaned-up and performance improved + by reducing use of timestamp-ordered commit-list, which was + replaced with a priority queue. + + * "git diff --no-index" codepath has been updated not to try to peek + into a .git/ directory that happens to be under the current + directory, when we know we are operating outside any repository. + + * Update of the sequencer codebase to make it reusable to reimplement + "rebase -i" continues. + + * Git generally does not explicitly close file descriptors that were + open in the parent process when spawning a child process, but most + of the time the child does not want to access them. As Windows does + not allow removing or renaming a file that has a file descriptor + open, a slow-to-exit child can even break the parent process by + holding onto them. Use O_CLOEXEC flag to open files in various + codepaths. + + * Update "interpret-trailers" machinery and teach it that people in + the real world write all sorts of cruft in the "trailer" that was + originally designed to have the neat-o "Mail-Header: like thing" + and nothing else. + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v2.10 +----------------- + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.9 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' +notes for details). + + * Clarify various ways to specify the "revision ranges" in the + documentation. + + * "diff-highlight" script (in contrib/) learned to work better with + "git log -p --graph" output. + + * The test framework left the number of tests and success/failure + count in the t/test-results directory, keyed by the name of the + test script plus the process ID. The latter however turned out not + to serve any useful purpose. The process ID part of the filename + has been removed. + + * Having a submodule whose ".git" repository is somehow corrupt + caused a few commands that recurse into submodules to loop forever. + + * "git symbolic-ref -d HEAD" happily removes the symbolic ref, but + the resulting repository becomes an invalid one. Teach the command + to forbid removal of HEAD. + + * A test spawned a short-lived background process, which sometimes + prevented the test directory from getting removed at the end of the + script on some platforms. + + * Update a few tests that used to use GIT_CURL_VERBOSE to use the + newer GIT_TRACE_CURL. + + * "git pack-objects --include-tag" was taught that when we know that + we are sending an object C, we want a tag B that directly points at + C but also a tag A that points at the tag B. We used to miss the + intermediate tag B in some cases. + + * Update Japanese translation for "git-gui". + + * "git fetch http::/site/path" did not die correctly and segfaulted + instead. + + * "git commit-tree" stopped reading commit.gpgsign configuration + variable that was meant for Porcelain "git commit" in Git 2.9; we + forgot to update "git gui" to look at the configuration to match + this change. + + * "git add --chmod={+,-}x" added recently lacked documentation, which has + been corrected. + + * "git log --cherry-pick" used to include merge commits as candidates + to be matched up with other commits, resulting a lot of wasted time. + The patch-id generation logic has been updated to ignore merges and + avoid the wastage. + + * The http transport (with curl-multi option, which is the default + these days) failed to remove curl-easy handle from a curlm session, + which led to unnecessary API failures. + + * There were numerous corner cases in which the configuration files + are read and used or not read at all depending on the directory a + Git command was run, leading to inconsistent behaviour. The code + to set-up repository access at the beginning of a Git process has + been updated to fix them. + (merge 4d0efa1 jk/setup-sequence-update later to maint). + + * "git diff -W" output needs to extend the context backward to + include the header line of the current function and also forward to + include the body of the entire current function up to the header + line of the next one. This process may have to merge two adjacent + hunks, but the code forgot to do so in some cases. + + * Performance tests done via "t/perf" did not use the right + build configuration if the user relied on autoconf generated + configuration. + + * "git format-patch --base=..." feature that was recently added + showed the base commit information after the "-- " e-mail signature + line, which turned out to be inconvenient. The base information + has been moved above the signature line. + + * More i18n. + + * Even when "git pull --rebase=preserve" (and the underlying "git + rebase --preserve") can complete without creating any new commits + (i.e. fast-forwards), it still insisted on having usable ident + information (read: user.email is set correctly), which was less + than nice. As the underlying commands used inside "git rebase" + would fail with a more meaningful error message and advice text + when the bogus ident matters, this extra check was removed. + + * "git gc --aggressive" used to limit the delta-chain length to 250, + which is way too deep for gaining additional space savings and is + detrimental for runtime performance. The limit has been reduced to + 50. + + * Documentation for individual configuration variables to control use + of color (like `color.grep`) said that their default value is + 'false', instead of saying their default is taken from `color.ui`. + When we updated the default value for color.ui from 'false' to + 'auto' quite a while ago, all of them broke. This has been + corrected. + + * The pretty-format specifier "%C(auto)" used by the "log" family of + commands to enable coloring of the output is taught to also issue a + color-reset sequence to the output. + + * A shell script example in check-ref-format documentation has been + fixed. + + * "git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation + rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow + checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a + file 'foo' in the working tree without having to disambiguate. + This was poorly documented and the check was incorrect when the + command was run from a subdirectory. + + * Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was + mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read + beyond the end of the mapped region. This was fixed by introducing + a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND + extension. + + * The procedure to build Git on Mac OS X for Travis CI hardcoded the + internal directory structure we assumed HomeBrew uses, which was a + no-no. The procedure has been updated to ask HomeBrew things we + need to know to fix this. + + * When "git rebase -i" is given a broken instruction, it told the + user to fix it with "--edit-todo", but didn't say what the step + after that was (i.e. "--continue"). + + * Documentation around tools to import from CVS was fairly outdated. + + * "git clone --recurse-submodules" lost the progress eye-candy in + a recent update, which has been corrected. + + * A low-level function verify_packfile() was meant to show errors + that were detected without dying itself, but under some conditions + it didn't and died instead, which has been fixed. + + * When "git fetch" tries to find where the history of the repository + it runs in has diverged from what the other side has, it has a + mechanism to avoid digging too deep into irrelevant side branches. + This however did not work well over the "smart-http" transport due + to a design bug, which has been fixed. + + * In the codepath that comes up with the hostname to be used in an + e-mail when the user didn't tell us, we looked at the ai_canonname + field in struct addrinfo without making sure it is not NULL first. + + * "git worktree", even though it used the default_abbrev setting that + ought to be affected by the core.abbrev configuration variable, ignored + the variable setting. The command has been taught to read the + default set of configuration variables to correct this. + + * "git init" tried to record core.worktree in the repository's + 'config' file when the GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable was set and + it was different from where GIT_DIR appears as ".git" at its top, + but the logic was faulty when .git is a "gitdir:" file that points + at the real place, causing trouble in working trees that are + managed by "git worktree". This has been corrected. + + * Codepaths that read from an on-disk loose object were too loose in + validating that they are reading a proper object file and + sometimes read past the data they read from the disk, which has + been corrected. H/t to Gustavo Grieco for reporting. + + * The original command line syntax for "git merge", which was "git + merge <msg> HEAD <parent>...", has been deprecated for quite some + time, and "git gui" was the last in-tree user of the syntax. This + is finally fixed, so that we can move forward with the deprecation. + + * An author name that has a backslash-quoted double quote in the + human readable part ("My \"double quoted\" name"), was not unquoted + correctly while applying a patch from a piece of e-mail. + + * Doc update to clarify what "log -3 --reverse" does. + + * Almost everybody uses DEFAULT_ABBREV to refer to the default + setting for the abbreviation, but "git blame" peeked into + underlying variable bypassing the macro for no good reason. + + * The "graph" API used in "git log --graph" miscounted the number of + output columns consumed so far when drawing a padding line, which + has been fixed; this did not affect any existing code as nobody + tried to write anything after the padding on such a line, though. + + * The code that parses the format parameter of the for-each-ref command + has seen a micro-optimization. + + * When we started to use cURL to talk to an imap server, we forgot to explicitly add + imap(s):// before the destination. To some folks, that didn't work + and the library tried to make HTTP(s) requests instead. + + * The ./configure script generated from configure.ac was taught how + to detect support of SSL by libcurl better. + + * The command-line completion script (in contrib/) learned to + complete "git cmd ^mas<HT>" to complete the negative end of + reference to "git cmd ^master". + (merge 49416ad22a cp/completion-negative-refs later to maint). + + * The existing "git fetch --depth=<n>" option was hard to use + correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone + deeper. A new option, "--deepen=<n>", has been added to make this + easier to use. "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=<date>" + and "--shallow-exclude=<tag>" options to make it easier to specify + "I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and + "Give me only the history since that version". + (merge cccf74e2da nd/shallow-deepen later to maint). + + * "git blame --reverse OLD path" is now DWIMmed to show how lines + in path in an old revision OLD have survived up to the current + commit. + (merge e1d09701a4 jc/blame-reverse later to maint). + + * The http.emptyauth configuration variable is a way to allow an empty username to + pass when attempting to authenticate using mechanisms like + Kerberos. We took an unspecified (NULL) username and sent ":" + (i.e. no username, no password) to CURLOPT_USERPWD, but did not do + the same when the username is explicitly set to an empty string. + + * "git clone" of a local repository can be done at the filesystem + level, but the codepath did not check errors while copying and + adjusting the file that lists alternate object stores. + + * Documentation for "git commit" was updated to clarify that "commit + -p <paths>" adds to the current contents of the index to come up + with what to commit. + + * A stray symbolic link in the $GIT_DIR/refs/ directory could make name + resolution loop forever, which has been corrected. + + * The "submodule.<name>.path" stored in .gitmodules is never copied + to .git/config and such a key in .git/config has no meaning, but + the documentation described it next to submodule.<name>.url + as if both belong to .git/config. This has been fixed. + + * In a worktree created via "git + worktree", "git checkout" attempts to protect users from confusion + by refusing to check out a branch that is already checked out in + another worktree. However, this also prevented checking out a + branch which is designated as the primary branch of a bare + repository, in a worktree that is connected to the bare + repository. The check has been corrected to allow it. + + * "git rebase" immediately after "git clone" failed to find the fork + point from the upstream. + + * When fetching from a remote that has many tags that are irrelevant + to branches we are following, we used to waste way too many cycles + checking if the object pointed at by a tag (that we are not + going to fetch!) exists in our repository too carefully. + + * Protect our code from over-eager compilers. + + * Recent git allows submodule.<name>.branch to use a special token + "." instead of the branch name; the documentation has been updated + to describe it. + + * "git send-email" attempts to pick up valid e-mails from the + trailers, but people in the real world write non-addresses there, like + "Cc: Stable <add@re.ss> # 4.8+", which broke the output depending + on the availability and vintage of the Mail::Address perl module. + (merge dcfafc5214 mm/send-email-cc-cruft-after-address later to maint). + + * The Travis CI configuration we ship ran the tests with the --verbose + option but this risks non-TAP output that happens to be "ok" to be + misinterpreted as TAP signalling a test that passed. This resulted + in unnecessary failures. This has been corrected by introducing a + new mode to run our tests in the test harness to send the verbose + output separately to the log file. + + * Some AsciiDoc formatters mishandle a displayed illustration with + tabs in it. Adjust a few of them in merge-base documentation to + work around them. + + * Fixed a minor regression in "git submodule" that was introduced + when more helper functions were reimplemented in C. + (merge 77b63ac31e sb/submodule-ignore-trailing-slash later to maint). + + * The code that we have used for the past 10+ years to cycle + 4-element ring buffers turns out to be not quite portable in + theoretical world. + (merge bb84735c80 rs/ring-buffer-wraparound later to maint). + + * "git daemon" used fixed-length buffers to turn URLs to the + repository the client asked for into the server side directory + paths, using snprintf() to avoid overflowing these buffers, but + allowed possibly truncated paths to the directory. This has been + tightened to reject such a request that causes an overlong path to be + served. + (merge 6bdb0083be jk/daemon-path-ok-check-truncation later to maint). + + * Recent update to git-sh-setup (a library of shell functions that + are used by our in-tree scripted Porcelain commands) included + another shell library git-sh-i18n without specifying where it is, + relying on the $PATH. This has been fixed to be more explicit by + prefixing with $(git --exec-path) output. + (merge 1073094f30 ak/sh-setup-dot-source-i18n-fix later to maint). + + * Fix for a racy false-positive test failure. + (merge fdf4f6c79b as/merge-attr-sleep later to maint). + + * Portability update and workaround for builds on recent Mac OS X. + (merge a296bc0132 ls/macos-update later to maint). + + * Using a %(HEAD) placeholder in "for-each-ref --format=" option + caused the command to segfault when on an unborn branch. + (merge 84679d470d jc/for-each-ref-head-segfault-fix later to maint). + + * "git rebase -i" did not work well with the core.commentchar + configuration variable for two reasons, both of which have been + fixed. + (merge 882cd23777 js/rebase-i-commentchar-fix later to maint). + + * Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups. + (merge 5c238e29a8 jk/common-main later to maint). + (merge 5a5749e45b ak/pre-receive-hook-template-modefix later to maint). + (merge 6d834ac8f1 jk/rebase-config-insn-fmt-docfix later to maint). + (merge de9f7fa3b0 rs/commit-pptr-simplify later to maint). + (merge 4259d693fc sc/fmt-merge-msg-doc-markup-fix later to maint). + (merge 28fab7b23d nd/test-helpers later to maint). + (merge c2bb0c1d1e rs/cocci later to maint). + (merge 3285b7badb ps/common-info-doc later to maint). + (merge 2b090822e8 nd/worktree-lock later to maint). + (merge 4bd488ea7c jk/create-branch-remove-unused-param later to maint). + (merge 974e0044d6 tk/diffcore-delta-remove-unused later to maint). diff --git a/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.11.1.txt b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.11.1.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..7d35cf186dbf --- /dev/null +++ b/third_party/git/Documentation/RelNotes/2.11.1.txt @@ -0,0 +1,168 @@ +Git v2.11.1 Release Notes +========================= + +Fixes since v2.11 +----------------- + + * The default Travis-CI configuration specifies newer P4 and GitLFS. + + * The character width table has been updated to match Unicode 9.0 + + * Update the isatty() emulation for Windows by updating the previous + hack that depended on internals of (older) MSVC runtime. + + * "git rev-parse --symbolic" failed with a more recent notation like + "HEAD^-1" and "HEAD^!". + + * An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used + to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a + submodule directory there, which has been fixed.. + + * The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the + superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed + out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small + project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable + number of refs. + + * "git push --dry-run --recurse-submodule=on-demand" wasn't + "--dry-run" in the submodules. + + * The output from "git worktree list" was made in readdir() order, + and was unstable. + + * mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode configuration variable did not apply + to built-in tools, but now it does. + + * "git p4" LFS support was broken when LFS stores an empty blob. + + * Fix a corner case in merge-recursive regression that crept in + during 2.10 development cycle. + + * Update the error messages from the dumb-http client when it fails + to obtain loose objects;

Do so. + + * "git diff" learned diff.interHunkContext configuration variable + that gives the default value for its --inter-hunk-context option. + + * The prereleaseSuffix feature of version comparison that is used in + "git tag -l" did not correctly when two or more prereleases for the + same release were present (e.g. when 2.0, 2.0-beta1, and 2.0-beta2 + are there and the code needs to compare 2.0-beta1 and 2.0-beta2). + + * "git submodule push" learned "--recurse-submodules=only option to + push submodules out without pushing the top-level superproject. + + * "git tag" and "git verify-tag" learned to put GPG verification + status in their "--format=<placeholders>" output format. + + * An ancient repository conversion tool left in contrib/ has been + removed. + + * "git show-ref HEAD" used with "--verify" because the user is not + interested in seeing refs/remotes/origin/HEAD, and used with + "--head" because the user does not want HEAD to be filtered out, + i.e. "git show-ref --head --verify HEAD", did not work as expected. + + * "git submodule add" used to be confused and refused to add a + locally created repository; users can now use "--force" option + to add them. + (merge 619acfc78c sb/submodule-add-force later to maint). + + * Some people feel the default set of colors used by "git log --graph" + rather limiting. A mechanism to customize the set of colors has + been introduced. + + * "git read-tree" and its underlying unpack_trees() machinery learned + to report problematic paths prefixed with the --super-prefix option. + + * When a submodule "A", which has another submodule "B" nested within + it, is "absorbed" into the top-level superproject, the inner + submodule "B" used to be left in a strange state. The logic to + adjust the .git pointers in these submodules has been corrected. + + * The user can specify a custom update method that is run when + "submodule update" updates an already checked out submodule. This + was ignored when checking the submodule out for the first time and + we instead always just checked out the commit that is bound to the + path in the superproject's index. + + * The command line completion (in contrib/) learned that + "git diff --submodule=" can take "diff" as a recently added option. + + * The "core.logAllRefUpdates" that used to be boolean has been + enhanced to take 'always' as well, to record ref updates to refs + other than the ones that are expected to be updated (i.e. branches, + remote-tracking branches and notes). + + * Comes with more command line completion (in contrib/) for recently + introduced options. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. + + * Commands that operate on a log message and add lines to the trailer + blocks, such as "format-patch -s", "cherry-pick (-x|-s)", and + "commit -s", have been taught to use the logic of and share the + code with "git interpret-trailer". + + * The default Travis-CI configuration specifies newer P4 and GitLFS. + + * The "fast hash" that had disastrous performance issues in some + corner cases has been retired from the internal diff. + + * The character width table has been updated to match Unicode 9.0 + + * Update the procedure to generate "tags" for developer support. + + * The codeflow of setting NOATIME and CLOEXEC on file descriptors Git + opens has been simplified. + + * "git diff" and its family had two experimental heuristics to shift + the contents of a hunk to make the patch easier to read. One of + them turns out to be better than the other, so leave only the + "--indent-heuristic" option and remove the other one. + + * A new submodule helper "git submodule embedgitdirs" to make it + easier to move embedded .git/ directory for submodules in a + superproject to .git/modules/ (and point the latter with the former + that is turned into a "gitdir:" file) has been added. + + * "git push \\server\share\dir" has recently regressed and then + fixed. A test has retroactively been added for this breakage. + + * Build updates for Cygwin. + + * The implementation of "real_path()" was to go there with chdir(2) + and call getcwd(3), but this obviously wouldn't be usable in a + threaded environment. Rewrite it to manually resolve relative + paths including symbolic links in path components. + + * Adjust documentation to help AsciiDoctor render better while not + breaking the rendering done by AsciiDoc. + + * The sequencer machinery has been further enhanced so that a later + set of patches can start using it to reimplement "rebase -i". + + * Update the definition of the MacOSX test environment used by + TravisCI. + + * Rewrite a scripted porcelain "git difftool" in C. + + * "make -C t failed" will now run only the tests that failed in the + previous run. This is usable only when prove is not use, and gives + a useless error message when run after "make clean", but otherwise + is serviceable. + + * "uchar [40]" to "struct object_id" conversion continues. + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + +Fixes since v2.10 +----------------- + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.9 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' +notes for details). + + * We often decide if a session is interactive by checking if the + standard I/O streams are connected to a TTY, but isatty() that + comes with Windows incorrectly returned true if it is used on NUL + (i.e. an equivalent to /dev/null). This has been fixed. + + * "git svn" did not work well with path components that are "0", and + some configuration variable it uses were not documented. + + * "git rev-parse --symbolic" failed with a more recent notation like + "HEAD^-1" and "HEAD^!". + + * An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used + to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a + submodule directory there, which has been fixed.. + + * The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the + superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed + out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small + project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable + number of refs. + + * "git push --dry-run --recurse-submodule=on-demand" wasn't + "--dry-run" in the submodules. + + * The output from "git worktree list" was made in readdir() order, + and was unstable. + + * mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode configuration variable did not apply + to built-in tools, but now it does. + + * "git p4" LFS support was broken when LFS stores an empty blob. + + * A corner case in merge-recursive regression that crept in + during 2.10 development cycle has been fixed. + + * Transport with dumb http can be fooled into following foreign URLs + that the end user does not intend to, especially with the server + side redirects and http-alternates mechanism, which can lead to + security issues. Tighten the redirection and make it more obvious + to the end user when it happens. + + * Update the error messages from the dumb-http client when it fails + to obtain loose objects; we used to give sensible error message + only upon 404 but we now forbid unexpected redirects that needs to + be reported with something sensible. + + * When diff.renames configuration is on (and with Git 2.9 and later, + it is enabled by default, which made it worse), "git stash" + misbehaved if a file is removed and another file with a very + similar content is added. + + * "git diff --no-index" did not take "--no-abbrev" option. + + * "git difftool --dir-diff" had a minor regression when started from + a subdirectory, which has been fixed. + + * "git commit --allow-empty --only" (no pathspec) with dirty index + ought to be an acceptable way to create a new commit that does not + change any paths, but it was forbidden, perhaps because nobody + needed it so far. + + * Git 2.11 had a minor regression in "merge --ff-only" that competed + with another process that simultaneously attempted to update the + index. We used to explain what went wrong with an error message, + but the new code silently failed. The error message has been + resurrected. + + * A pathname that begins with "//" or "\\" on Windows is special but + path normalization logic was unaware of it. + + * "git pull --rebase", when there is no new commits on our side since + we forked from the upstream, should be able to fast-forward without + invoking "git rebase", but it didn't. + + * The way to specify hotkeys to "xxdiff" that is used by "git + mergetool" has been modernized to match recent versions of xxdiff. + + * Unlike "git am --abort", "git cherry-pick --abort" moved HEAD back + to where cherry-pick started while picking multiple changes, when + the cherry-pick stopped to ask for help from the user, and the user + did "git reset --hard" to a different commit in order to re-attempt + the operation. + + * Code cleanup in shallow boundary computation. + + * A recent update to receive-pack to make it easier to drop garbage + objects made it clear that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES cannot + have a pathname with a colon in it (no surprise!), and this in turn + made it impossible to push into a repository at such a path. This + has been fixed by introducing a quoting mechanism used when + appending such a path to the colon-separated list. + + * The function usage_msg_opt() has been updated to say "fatal:" + before the custom message programs give, when they want to die + with a message about wrong command line options followed by the + standard usage string. + + * "git index-pack --stdin" needs an access to an existing repository, + but "git index-pack file.pack" to generate an .idx file that + corresponds to a packfile does not. + + * Fix for NDEBUG builds. + + * A lazy "git push" without refspec did not internally use a fully + specified refspec to perform 'current', 'simple', or 'upstream' + push, causing unnecessary "ambiguous ref" errors. + + * "git p4" misbehaved when swapping a directory and a symbolic link. + + * Even though an fix was attempted in Git 2.9.3 days, but running + "git difftool --dir-diff" from a subdirectory never worked. This + has been fixed. + + * "git p4" that tracks multiple p4 paths imported a single changelist + that touches files in these multiple paths as one commit, followed + by many empty commits. This has been fixed. + + * A potential but unlikely buffer overflow in Windows port has been + fixed. + + * When the http server gives an incomplete response to a smart-http + rpc call, it could lead to client waiting for a full response that + will never come. Teach the client side to notice this condition + and abort the transfer. + + * Compression setting for producing packfiles were spread across + three codepaths, one of which did not honor any configuration. + Unify these so that all of them honor core.compression and + pack.compression variables the same way. + + * "git fast-import" sometimes mishandled while rebalancing notes + tree, which has been fixed. + + * Recent update to the default abbreviation length that auto-scales + lacked documentation update, which has been corrected. + + * Leakage of lockfiles in the config subsystem has been fixed. + + * It is natural that "git gc --auto" may not attempt to pack + everything into a single pack, and there is no point in warning + when the user has configured the system to use the pack bitmap, + leading to disabling further "gc". + + * "git archive" did not read the standard configuration files, and + failed to notice a file that is marked as binary via the userdiff + driver configuration. + + * "git blame --porcelain" misidentified the "previous" <commit, path> + pair (aka "source") when contents came from two or more files. + + * "git rebase -i" with a recent update started showing an incorrect + count when squashing more than 10 commits. + + * "git <cmd> @{push}" on a detached HEAD used to segfault; it has + been corrected to error out with a message. + + * Running "git add a/b" when "a" is a submodule correctly errored + out, but without a meaningful error message. + (merge 2d81c48fa7 sb/pathspec-errors later to maint). + + * Typing ^C to pager, which usually does not kill it, killed Git and + took the pager down as a collateral damage in certain process-tree + structure. This has been fixed. + + * "git mergetool" without any pathspec on the command line that is + run from a subdirectory became no-op in Git v2.11 by mistake, which + has been fixed. + + * Retire long unused/unmaintained gitview from the contrib/ area. + (merge 3120925c25 sb/remove-gitview later to maint). + + * Tighten a test to avoid mistaking an extended ERE regexp engine as + a PRE regexp engine. + + * An error message with an ASCII control character like '\r' in it + can alter the message to hide its early part, which is problematic + when a remote side gives such an error message that the local side + will relay with a "remote: " prefix. + (merge f290089879 jk/vreport-sanitize later to maint). + + * "git fsck" inspects loose objects more carefully now. + (merge cce044df7f jk/loose-object-fsck later to maint). + + * A crashing bug introduced in v2.11 timeframe has been found (it is + triggerable only in fast-import) and fixed. + (merge abd5a00268 jk/clear-delta-base-cache-fix later to maint). + + * With an anticipatory tweak for remotes defined in ~/.gitconfig + (e.g. "remote.origin.prune" set to true, even though there may or + may not actually be "origin" remote defined in a particular Git + repository), "git remote rename" and other commands misinterpreted + and behaved as if such a non-existing remote actually existed. + (merge e459b073fb js/remote-rename-with-half-configured-remote later to maint). + + * A few codepaths had to rely on a global variable when sorting + elements of an array because sort(3) API does not allow extra data + to be passed to the comparison function. Use qsort_s() when + natively available, and a fallback implementation of it when not, + to eliminate the need, which is a prerequisite for making the + codepath reentrant. + + * "git fsck --connectivity-check" was not working at all. + (merge a2b22854bd jk/fsck-connectivity-check-fix later to maint). + + * After starting "git rebase -i", which first opens the user's editor + to edit the series of patches to apply, but before saving the + contents of that file, "git status" failed to show the current + state (i.e. you are in an interactive rebase session, but you have + applied no steps yet) correctly. + (merge df9ded4984 js/status-pre-rebase-i later to maint). + + * Test tweak for FreeBSD where /usr/bin/unzip is unsuitable to run + our tests but /usr/local/bin/unzip is usable. + (merge d98b2c5fce js/unzip-in-usr-bin-workaround later to maint). + + * "git p4" did not work well with multiple git-p4.mapUser entries on + Windows. + (merge c3c2b05776 gv/mingw-p4-mapuser later to maint). + + * "git help" enumerates executable files in $PATH; the implementation + of "is this file executable?" on Windows has been optimized. + (merge c755015f79 hv/mingw-help-is-executable later to maint). + + * Test tweaks for those who have default ACL in their git source tree + that interfere with the umask test. + (merge d549d21307 mm/reset-facl-before-umask-test later to maint). + + * Names of the various hook scripts must be spelled exactly, but on + Windows, an .exe binary must be named with .exe suffix; notice + $GIT_DIR/hooks/<hookname>.exe as a valid <hookname> hook. + (merge 235be51fbe js/mingw-hooks-with-exe-suffix later to maint). + + * Asciidoctor, an alternative reimplementation of AsciiDoc, still + needs some changes to work with documents meant to be formatted + with AsciiDoc.

The hope is that existing + users will not mind this change, and eventually the warning can be + turned into a hard error, upgrading the deprecation into removal of + this (mis)feature. That is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming + release (yet). + + * The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..." + has been deprecated for quite some time, and is now removed. + + * The default location "~/.git-credential-cache/socket" for the + socket used to communicate with the credential-cache daemon has + been moved to "~/.cache/git/credential/socket". + + * Git now avoids blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup + sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository. A corner case that + happens to work right now may be broken by a call to die("BUG"). + We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there + might still be cases that need to be addressed--bug reports are + greatly appreciated. + + +Updates since v2.12 +------------------- + +UI, Workflows & Features + + * "git describe" and "git name-rev" have been taught to take more + than one refname patterns to restrict the set of refs to base their + naming output on, and also learned to take negative patterns to + name refs not to be used for naming via their "--exclude" option. + + * Deletion of a branch "foo/bar" could remove .git/refs/heads/foo + once there no longer is any other branch whose name begins with + "foo/", but we didn't do so so far. Now we do. + + * When "git merge" detects a path that is renamed in one history + while the other history deleted (or modified) it, it now reports + both paths to help the user understand what is going on in the two + histories being merged. + + * The <url> part in "http.<url>.<variable>" configuration variable + can now be spelled with '*' that serves as wildcard. + E.g. "http.https://*.example.com.proxy" can be used to specify the + proxy used for https://a.example.com, https://b.example.com, etc., + i.e. any host in the example.com domain. + + * "git tag" did not leave useful message when adding a new entry to + reflog; this was left unnoticed for a long time because refs/tags/* + doesn't keep reflog by default. + + * The "negative" pathspec feature was somewhat more cumbersome to use + than necessary in that its short-hand used "!" which needed to be + escaped from shells, and it required "exclude from what?" specified. + + * The command line options for ssh invocation needs to be tweaked for + some implementations of SSH (e.g. PuTTY plink wants "-P <port>" + while OpenSSH wants "-p <port>" to specify port to connect to), and + the variant was guessed when GIT_SSH environment variable is used + to specify it. The logic to guess now applies to the command + specified by the newer GIT_SSH_COMMAND and also core.sshcommand + configuration variable, and comes with an escape hatch for users to + deal with misdetected cases. + + * The "--git-path", "--git-common-dir", and "--shared-index-path" + options of "git rev-parse" did not produce usable output. They are + now updated to show the path to the correct file, relative to where + the caller is. + + * "git diff -W" has been taught to handle the case where a new + function is added at the end of the file better. + + * "git update-ref -d" and other operations to delete references did + not leave any entry in HEAD's reflog when the reference being + deleted was the current branch. This is not a problem in practice + because you do not want to delete the branch you are currently on, + but caused renaming of the current branch to something else not to + be logged in a useful way. + + * "Cc:" on the trailer part does not have to conform to RFC strictly, + unlike in the e-mail header. "git send-email" has been updated to + ignore anything after '>' when picking addresses, to allow non-address + cruft like " # stable 4.4" after the address. + + * When "git submodule init" decides that the submodule in the working + tree is its upstream, it now gives a warning as it is not a very + common setup. + + * "git stash push" takes a pathspec so that the local changes can be + stashed away only partially. + + * Documentation for "git ls-files" did not refer to core.quotePath. + + * The experimental "split index" feature has gained a few + configuration variables to make it easier to use. + + * From a working tree of a repository, a new option of "rev-parse" + lets you ask if the repository is used as a submodule of another + project, and where the root level of the working tree of that + project (i.e. your superproject) is. + + * The pathspec mechanism learned to further limit the paths that + match the pattern to those that have specified attributes attached + via the gitattributes mechanism. + + * Our source code has used the SHA1_HEADER cpp macro after "#include" + in the C code to switch among the SHA-1 implementations. Instead, + list the exact header file names and switch among implementations + using "#ifdef BLK_SHA1/#include "block-sha1/sha1.h"/.../#endif"; + this helps some IDE tools. + + * The start-up sequence of "git" needs to figure out some configured + settings before it finds and set itself up in the location of the + repository and was quite messy due to its "chicken-and-egg" nature. + The code has been restructured. + + * The command line prompt (in contrib/) learned a new 'tag' style + that can be specified with GIT_PS1_DESCRIBE_STYLE, to describe a + detached HEAD with "git describe --tags". + + * The configuration file learned a new "includeIf.<condition>.path" + that includes the contents of the given path only when the + condition holds. This allows you to say "include this work-related + bit only in the repositories under my ~/work/ directory". + + * Recent update to "rebase -i" started showing a message that is not + a warning with "warning:" prefix by mistake. This has been fixed. + + * Recently we started passing the "--push-options" through the + external remote helper interface; now the "smart HTTP" remote + helper understands what to do with the passed information. + + * "git describe --dirty" dies when it cannot be determined if the + state in the working tree matches that of HEAD (e.g. broken + repository or broken submodule). The command learned a new option + "git describe --broken" to give "$name-broken" (where $name is the + description of HEAD) in such a case. + + * "git checkout" is taught the "--recurse-submodules" option. + + * Recent enhancement to "git stash push" command to support pathspec + to allow only a subset of working tree changes to be stashed away + was found to be too chatty and exposed the internal implementation + detail (e.g. when it uses reset to match the index to HEAD before + doing other things, output from reset seeped out). These, and + other chattyness has been fixed. + + * "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>" syntax that has been deprecated + since October 2007 has been removed. + + * The refs completion for large number of refs has been sped up, + partly by giving up disambiguating ambiguous refs and partly by + eliminating most of the shell processing between 'git for-each-ref' + and 'ls-remote' and Bash's completion facility. + + * On many keyboards, typing "@{" involves holding down SHIFT key and + one can easily end up with "@{Up..." when typing "@{upstream}". As + the upstream/push keywords do not appear anywhere else in the syntax, + we can safely accept them case insensitively without introducing + ambiguity or confusion to solve this. + + * "git tag/branch/for-each-ref" family of commands long allowed to + filter the refs by "--contains X" (show only the refs that are + descendants of X), "--merged X" (show only the refs that are + ancestors of X), "--no-merged X" (show only the refs that are not + ancestors of X). One curious omission, "--no-contains X" (show + only the refs that are not descendants of X) has been added to + them. + + * The default behaviour of "git log" in an interactive session has + been changed to enable "--decorate". + + * The output from "git status --short" has been extended to show + various kinds of dirtiness in submodules differently; instead of to + "M" for modified, 'm' and '?' can be shown to signal changes only + to the working tree of the submodule but not the commit that is + checked out. + + * Allow the http.postbuffer configuration variable to be set to a + size that can be expressed in size_t, which can be larger than + ulong on some platforms. + + * "git rebase" learns "--signoff" option. + + * The completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete "git push + --delete b<TAB>" to complete branch name to be deleted. + + * "git worktree add --lock" allows to lock a worktree immediately + after it's created. This helps prevent a race between "git worktree + add; git worktree lock" and "git worktree prune". + + * Completion for "git checkout <branch>" that auto-creates the branch + out of a remote tracking branch can now be disabled, as this + completion often gets in the way when completing to checkout an + existing local branch that happens to share the same prefix with + bunch of remote tracking branches. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. + + * The code to list branches in "git branch" has been consolidated + with the more generic ref-filter API. + + * Resource usage while enumerating refs from alternate object store + has been optimized to help receiving end of "push" that hosts a + repository with many "forks". + + * The gitattributes machinery is being taught to work better in a + multi-threaded environment. + + * "git rebase -i" starts using the recently updated "sequencer" code. + + * Code and design clean-up for the refs API. + + * The preload-index code has been taught not to bother with the index + entries that are paths that are not checked out by "sparse checkout". + + * Some warning() messages from "git clean" were updated to show the + errno from failed system calls. + + * The "parse_config_key()" API function has been cleaned up. + + * A test that creates a confusing branch whose name is HEAD has been + corrected not to do so. + + * The code that parses header fields in the commit object has been + updated for (micro)performance and code hygiene. + + * An helper function to make it easier to append the result from + real_path() to a strbuf has been added. + + * Reduce authentication round-trip over HTTP when the server supports + just a single authentication method. This also improves the + behaviour when Git is misconfigured to enable http.emptyAuth + against a server that does not authenticate without a username + (i.e. not using Kerberos etc., which makes http.emptyAuth + pointless). + + * Windows port wants to use OpenSSL's implementation of SHA-1 + routines, so let them. + + * The t/perf performance test suite was not prepared to test not so + old versions of Git, but now it covers versions of Git that are not + so ancient. + + * Add 32-bit Linux variant to the set of platforms to be tested with + Travis CI. + + * "git branch --list" takes the "--abbrev" and "--no-abbrev" options + to control the output of the object name in its "-v"(erbose) + output, but a recent update started ignoring them; fix it before + the breakage reaches to any released version. + + * Picking two versions of Git and running tests to make sure the + older one and the newer one interoperate happily has now become + possible. + + * "git tag --contains" used to (ab)use the object bits to keep track + of the state of object reachability without clearing them after + use; this has been cleaned up and made to use the newer commit-slab + facility. + + * The "debug" helper used in the test framework learned to run + a command under "gdb" interactively. + + * The "detect attempt to create collisions" variant of SHA-1 + implementation by Marc Stevens (CWI) and Dan Shumow (Microsoft) + has been integrated and made the default. + + * The test framework learned to detect unterminated here documents. + + * The name-hash used for detecting paths that are different only in + cases (which matter on case insensitive filesystems) has been + optimized to take advantage of multi-threading when it makes sense. + + * An earlier version of sha1dc/sha1.c that was merged to 'master' + compiled incorrectly on Windows, which has been fixed. + + * "what URL do we want to update this submodule?" and "are we + interested in this submodule?" are split into two distinct + concepts, and then the way used to express the latter got extended, + paving a way to make it easier to manage a project with many + submodules and make it possible to later extend use of multiple + worktrees for a project with submodules. + + * Some debugging output from "git describe" were marked for l10n, + but some weren't. Mark missing ones for l10n. + + * Define a new task in .travis.yml that triggers a test session on + Windows run elsewhere. + + * Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues. + + * The "submodule" specific field in the ref_store structure is + replaced with a more generic "gitdir" that can later be used also + when dealing with ref_store that represents the set of refs visible + from the other worktrees. + + * The string-list API used a custom reallocation strategy that was + very inefficient, instead of using the usual ALLOC_GROW() macro, + which has been fixed. + (merge 950a234cbd jh/string-list-micro-optim later to maint). + + * In a 2- and 3-way merge of trees, more than one source trees often + end up sharing an identical subtree; optimize by not reading the + same tree multiple times in such a case. + (merge d12a8cf0af jh/unpack-trees-micro-optim later to maint). + + * The index file has a trailing SHA-1 checksum to detect file + corruption, and historically we checked it every time the index + file is used. Omit the validation during normal use, and instead + verify only in "git fsck". + + * Having a git command on the upstream side of a pipe in a test + script will hide the exit status from the command, which may cause + us to fail to notice a breakage; rewrite tests in a script to avoid + this issue. + + * Travis CI learns to run coccicheck. + + * "git checkout" that handles a lot of paths has been optimized by + reducing the number of unnecessary checks of paths in the + has_dir_name() function. + + * The internals of the refs API around the cached refs has been + streamlined. + + * Output from perf tests have been updated to align their titles. + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v2.12 +----------------- + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.12 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' +notes for details). + + * "git repack --depth=<n>" for a long time busted the specified depth + when reusing delta from existing packs. This has been corrected. + + * The code to parse the command line "git grep <patterns>... <rev> + [[--] <pathspec>...]" has been cleaned up, and a handful of bugs + have been fixed (e.g. we used to check "--" if it is a rev). + + * "git ls-remote" and "git archive --remote" are designed to work + without being in a directory under Git's control. However, recent + updates revealed that we randomly look into a directory called + .git/ without actually doing necessary set-up when working in a + repository. Stop doing so. + + * "git show-branch" expected there were only very short branch names + in the repository and used a fixed-length buffer to hold them + without checking for overflow. + + * A caller of tempfile API that uses stdio interface to write to + files may ignore errors while writing, which is detected when + tempfile is closed (with a call to ferror()). By that time, the + original errno that may have told us what went wrong is likely to + be long gone and was overwritten by an irrelevant value. + close_tempfile() now resets errno to EIO to make errno at least + predictable. + + * "git remote rm X", when a branch has remote X configured as the + value of its branch.*.remote, tried to remove branch.*.remote and + branch.*.merge and failed if either is unset. + + * A "gc.log" file left by a backgrounded "gc --auto" disables further + automatic gc; it has been taught to run at least once a day (by + default) by ignoring a stale "gc.log" file that is too old. + + * The code to parse "git -c VAR=VAL cmd" and set configuration + variable for the duration of cmd had two small bugs, which have + been fixed. + + * user.email that consists of only cruft chars should consistently + error out, but didn't. + + * "git upload-pack", which is a counter-part of "git fetch", did not + report a request for a ref that was not advertised as invalid. + This is generally not a problem (because "git fetch" will stop + before making such a request), but is the right thing to do. + + * A leak in a codepath to read from a packed object in (rare) cases + has been plugged. + + * When a redirected http transport gets an error during the + redirected request, we ignored the error we got from the server, + and ended up giving a not-so-useful error message. + + * The patch subcommand of "git add -i" was meant to have paths + selection prompt just like other subcommand, unlike "git add -p" + directly jumps to hunk selection. Recently, this was broken and + "add -i" lost the paths selection dialog, but it now has been + fixed. + + * Git v2.12 was shipped with an embarrassing breakage where various + operations that verify paths given from the user stopped dying when + seeing an issue, and instead later triggering segfault. + + * There is no need for Python only to give a few messages to the + standard error stream, but we somehow did. + + * The code to parse "git log -L..." command line was buggy when there + are many ranges specified with -L; overrun of the allocated buffer + has been fixed. + + * The command-line parsing of "git log -L" copied internal data + structures using incorrect size on ILP32 systems. + + * "git diff --quiet" relies on the size field in diff_filespec to be + correctly populated, but diff_populate_filespec() helper function + made an incorrect short-cut when asked only to populate the size + field for paths that need to go through convert_to_git() (e.g. CRLF + conversion). + + * A few tests were run conditionally under (rare) conditions where + they cannot be run (like running cvs tests under 'root' account). + + * "git branch @" created refs/heads/@ as a branch, and in general the + code that handled @{-1} and @{upstream} was a bit too loose in + disambiguating. + + * "git fetch" that requests a commit by object name, when the other + side does not allow such an request, failed without much + explanation. + + * "git filter-branch --prune-empty" drops a single-parent commit that + becomes a no-op, but did not drop a root commit whose tree is empty. + + * Recent versions of Git treats http alternates (used in dumb http + transport) just like HTTP redirects and requires the client to + enable following it, due to security concerns. But we forgot to + give a warning when we decide not to honor the alternates. + + * "git push" had a handful of codepaths that could lead to a deadlock + when unexpected error happened, which has been fixed. + + * "Dumb http" transport used to misparse a nonsense http-alternates + response, which has been fixed. + + * "git add -p <pathspec>" unnecessarily expanded the pathspec to a + list of individual files that matches the pathspec by running "git + ls-files <pathspec>", before feeding it to "git diff-index" to see + which paths have changes, because historically the pathspec + language supported by "diff-index" was weaker. These days they are + equivalent and there is no reason to internally expand it. This + helps both performance and avoids command line argument limit on + some platforms. + (merge 7288e12cce jk/add-i-use-pathspecs later to maint). + + * "git status --porcelain" is supposed to give a stable output, but a + few strings were left as translatable by mistake. + + * "git revert -m 0 $merge_commit" complained that reverting a merge + needs to say relative to which parent the reversion needs to + happen, as if "-m 0" weren't given. The correct diagnosis is that + "-m 0" does not refer to the first parent ("-m 1" does). This has + been fixed. + + * Code to read submodule.<name>.ignore config did not state the + variable name correctly when giving an error message diagnosing + misconfiguration. + + * Fix for NO_PTHREADS build. + + * Fix for potential segv introduced in v2.11.0 and later (also + v2.10.2) to "git log --pickaxe-regex -S". + + * A few unterminated here documents in tests were fixed, which in + turn revealed incorrect expectations the tests make.

The untracked cache extension is copied across these + operations now, which would speed up "git status" (as long as the + cache is properly invalidated). + + * The internal implementation of "git grep" has seen some clean-up. + + * Update the C style recommendation for notes for translators, as + recent versions of gettext tools can work with our style of + multi-line comments. + + * The implementation of "ref" API around the "packed refs" have been + cleaned up, in preparation for further changes. + + * The internal logic used in "git blame" has been libified to make it + easier to use by cgit. + + * Our code often opens a path to an optional file, to work on its + contents when we can successfully open it. We can ignore a failure + to open if such an optional file does not exist, but we do want to + report a failure in opening for other reasons (e.g. we got an I/O + error, or the file is there, but we lack the permission to open). + + The exact errors we need to ignore are ENOENT (obviously) and + ENOTDIR (less obvious). Instead of repeating comparison of errno + with these two constants, introduce a helper function to do so. + + * We often try to open a file for reading whose existence is + optional, and silently ignore errors from open/fopen; report such + errors if they are not due to missing files. + + * When an existing repository is used for t/perf testing, we first + create bit-for-bit copy of it, which may grab a transient state of + the repository and freeze it into the repository used for testing, + which then may cause Git operations to fail. Single out "the index + being locked" case and forcibly drop the lock from the copy. + + * Three instances of the same helper function have been consolidated + to one. + + * "fast-import" uses a default pack chain depth that is consistent + with other parts of the system. + + * A new test to show the interaction between the pattern [^a-z] + (which matches '/') and a slash in a path has been added.

For now a non-submodule copy of the same code is also shipped + as part of the tree. + + * A recent update made it easier to use "-fsanitize=" option while + compiling but supported only one sanitize option. Allow more than + one to be combined, joined with a comma, like "make SANITIZE=foo,bar". + + * Use "p4 -G" to make "p4 changes" output more Python-friendly + to parse. + + * We started using "%" PRItime, imitating "%" PRIuMAX and friends, as + a way to format the internal timestamp value, but this does not + play well with gettext(1) i18n framework, and causes "make pot" + that is run by the l10n coordinator to create a broken po/git.pot + file. This is a possible workaround for that problem. + + * It turns out that Cygwin also needs the fopen() wrapper that + returns failure when a directory is opened for reading. + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v2.13 +----------------- + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.13 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' +notes for details). + + * "git gc" did not interact well with "git worktree"-managed + per-worktree refs. + + * "git cherry-pick" and other uses of the sequencer machinery + mishandled a trailer block whose last line is an incomplete line. + This has been fixed so that an additional sign-off etc. are added + after completing the existing incomplete line. + + * The codepath in "git am" that is used when running "git rebase" + leaked memory held for the log message of the commits being rebased. + + * "git clone --config var=val" is a way to populate the + per-repository configuration file of the new repository, but it did + not work well when val is an empty string. This has been fixed. + + * Setting "log.decorate=false" in the configuration file did not take + effect in v2.13, which has been corrected. + + * A few codepaths in "checkout" and "am" working on an unborn branch + tried to access an uninitialized piece of memory. + + * The Web interface to gmane news archive is long gone, even though + the articles are still accessible via NTTP. Replace the links with + ones to public-inbox.org. Because their message identification is + based on the actual message-id, it is likely that it will be easier + to migrate away from it if/when necessary. + + * The receive-pack program now makes sure that the push certificate + records the same set of push options used for pushing. + + * Tests have been updated to pass under GETTEXT_POISON (a mechanism + to ensure that output strings that should not be translated are + not translated by mistake), and TravisCI is told to run them. + + * "git checkout --recurse-submodules" did not quite work with a + submodule that itself has submodules. + + * "pack-objects" can stream a slice of an existing packfile out when + the pack bitmap can tell that the reachable objects are all needed + in the output, without inspecting individual objects. This + strategy however would not work well when "--local" and other + options are in use, and need to be disabled. + + * Fix memory leaks pointed out by Coverity (and people). + + * "git read-tree -m" (no tree-ish) gave a nonsense suggestion "use + --empty if you want to clear the index". With "-m", such a request + will still fail anyway, as you'd need to name at least one tree-ish + to be merged. + + * Make sure our tests would pass when the sources are checked out + with "platform native" line ending convention by default on + Windows. Some "text" files out tests use and the test scripts + themselves that are meant to be run with /bin/sh, ought to be + checked out with eol=LF even on Windows. + + * Introduce the BUG() macro to improve die("BUG: ..."). + + * Clarify documentation for include.path and includeIf.<condition>.path + configuration variables. + + * Git sometimes gives an advice in a rhetorical question that does + not require an answer, which can confuse new users and non native + speakers. Attempt to rephrase them. + + * A few http:// links that are redirected to https:// in the + documentation have been updated to https:// links. + + * "git for-each-ref --format=..." with %(HEAD) in the format used to + resolve the HEAD symref as many times as it had processed refs, + which was wasteful, and "git branch" shared the same problem. + + * Regression fix to topic recently merged to 'master'. + + * The shell completion script (in contrib/) learned "git stash" has + a new "push" subcommand. + + * "git interpret-trailers", when used as GIT_EDITOR for "git commit + -v", looked for and appended to a trailer block at the very end, + i.e. at the end of the "diff" output. The command has been + corrected to pay attention to the cut-mark line "commit -v" adds to + the buffer---the real trailer block should appear just before it. + + * A test allowed both "git push" and "git receive-pack" on the other + end write their traces into the same file. This is OK on platforms + that allows atomically appending to a file opened with O_APPEND, + but on other platforms led to a mangled output, causing + intermittent test failures. This has been fixed by disabling + traces from "receive-pack" in the test. + + * Tag objects, which are not reachable from any ref, that point at + missing objects were mishandled by "git gc" and friends (they + should silently be ignored instead) + + * "git describe --contains" penalized light-weight tags so much that + they were almost never considered. Instead, give them about the + same chance to be considered as an annotated tag that is the same + age as the underlying commit would. + + * The "run-command" API implementation has been made more robust + against dead-locking in a threaded environment. + + * A recent update to t5545-push-options.sh started skipping all the + tests in the script when a web server testing is disabled or + unavailable, not just the ones that require a web server. Non HTTP + tests have been salvaged to always run in this script. + + * "git send-email" now uses Net::SMTP::SSL, which is obsolete, only + when needed. Recent versions of Net::SMTP can do TLS natively. + + * "foo\bar\baz" in "git fetch foo\bar\baz", even though there is no + slashes in it, cannot be a nickname for a remote on Windows, as + that is likely to be a pathname on a local filesystem. + + * "git clean -d" used to clean directories that has ignored files, + even though the command should not lose ignored ones without "-x". + "git status --ignored" did not list ignored and untracked files + without "-uall". These have been corrected. + + * The result from "git diff" that compares two blobs, e.g. "git diff + $commit1:$path $commit2:$path", used to be shown with the full + object name as given on the command line, but it is more natural to + use the $path in the output and use it to look up .gitattributes. + + * The "collision detecting" SHA-1 implementation shipped with 2.13 + was quite broken on some big-endian platforms and/or platforms that + do not like unaligned fetches. Update to the upstream code which + has already fixed these issues. + + * "git am -h" triggered a BUG(). + + * The interaction of "url.*.insteadOf" and custom URL scheme's + whitelisting is now documented better. + + * The timestamp of the index file is now taken after the file is + closed, to help Windows, on which a stale timestamp is reported by + fstat() on a file that is opened for writing and data was written + but not yet closed. + + * "git pull --rebase --autostash" didn't auto-stash when the local history + fast-forwards to the upstream. + + * A flaky test has been corrected. + + * "git $cmd -h" for builtin commands calls the implementation of the + command (i.e. cmd_$cmd() function) without doing any repository + set-up, and the commands that expect RUN_SETUP is done by the Git + potty needs to be prepared to show the help text without barfing. + (merge d691551192 jk/consistent-h later to maint). + + * Help contributors that visit us at GitHub. + + * "git stash push <pathspec>" did not work from a subdirectory at all. + Bugfix for a topic in v2.13 + + * As there is no portable way to pass timezone information to + strftime, some output format from "git log" and friends are + impossible to produce. Teach our own strbuf_addftime to replace %z + and %Z with caller-supplied values to help working around this. + (merge 6eced3ec5e rs/strbuf-addftime-zZ later to maint). + + * "git mergetool" learned to work around a wrapper MacOS X adds + around underlying meld. + + * An example in documentation that does not work in multi worktree + configuration has been corrected. + + * The pretty-format specifiers like '%h', '%t', etc. had an + optimization that no longer works correctly. In preparation/hope + of getting it correctly implemented, first discard the optimization + that is broken. + + * The code to pick up and execute command alias definition from the + configuration used to switch to the top of the working tree and + then come back when the expanded alias was executed, which was + unnecessarily complex. Attempt to simplify the logic by using the + early-config mechanism that does not chdir around. + + * Fix configuration codepath to pay proper attention to commondir + that is used in multi-worktree situation, and isolate config API + into its own header file. + (merge dc8441fdb4 bw/config-h later to maint). + + * "git add -p" were updated in 2.12 timeframe to cope with custom + core.commentchar but the implementation was buggy and a + metacharacter like $ and * did not work. + + * A recent regression in "git rebase -i" has been fixed and tests + that would have caught it and others have been added. + + * An unaligned 32-bit access in pack-bitmap code has been corrected. + + * Tighten error checks for invalid "git apply" input. + + * The split index code did not honor core.sharedRepository setting + correctly. + + * The Makefile rule in contrib/subtree for building documentation + learned to honour USE_ASCIIDOCTOR just like the main documentation + set does. + + * Code clean-up to fix possible buffer over-reading. + + * A few tests that tried to verify the contents of push certificates + did not use 'git rev-parse' to formulate the line to look for in + the certificate correctly. + + * Update the character width tables. + + * After "git branch --move" of the currently checked out branch, the + code to walk the reflog of HEAD via "log -g" and friends + incorrectly stopped at the reflog entry that records the renaming + of the branch. + + * The rewrite of "git branch --list" using for-each-ref's internals + that happened in v2.13 regressed its handling of color.branch.local; + this has been fixed. + + * The build procedure has been improved to allow building and testing + Git with address sanitizer more easily. + (merge 425ca6710b jk/build-with-asan later to maint). + + * On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository" + ought to mean a repository on a network share that can be accessed + locally, but this did not work correctly due to stripping the double + slashes at the beginning. + + * The progress meter did not give a useful output when we haven't had + 0.5 seconds to measure the throughput during the interval. Instead + show the overall throughput rate at the end, which is a much more + useful number. + + * Code clean-up, that makes us in sync with Debian by one patch. + + * We run an early part of "git gc" that deals with refs before + daemonising (and not under lock) even when running a background + auto-gc, which caused multiple gc processes attempting to run the + early part at the same time.

This has been + optimized. + + * Platforms that ship with a separate sha1 with collision detection + library can link to it instead of using the copy we ship as part of + our source tree. + + * Code around "notes" have been cleaned up. + (merge 3964281524 mh/notes-cleanup later to maint). + + * The long-standing rule that an in-core lockfile instance, once it + is used, must not be freed, has been lifted and the lockfile and + tempfile APIs have been updated to reduce the chance of programming + errors. + + * Our hashmap implementation in hashmap.[ch] is not thread-safe when + adding a new item needs to expand the hashtable by rehashing; add + an API to disable the automatic rehashing to work it around. + + * Many of our programs consider that it is OK to release dynamic + storage that is used throughout the life of the program by simply + exiting, but this makes it harder to leak detection tools to avoid + reporting false positives. Plug many existing leaks and introduce + a mechanism for developers to mark that the region of memory + pointed by a pointer is not lost/leaking to help these tools. + + * As "git commit" to conclude a conflicted "git merge" honors the + commit-msg hook, "git merge" that records a merge commit that + cleanly auto-merges should, but it didn't. + + * The codepath for "git merge-recursive" has been cleaned up. + + * Many leaks of strbuf have been fixed. + + * "git imap-send" has our own implementation of the protocol and also + can use more recent libCurl with the imap protocol support. Update + the latter so that it can use the credential subsystem, and then + make it the default option to use, so that we can eventually + deprecate and remove the former. + + * "make style" runs git-clang-format to help developers by pointing + out coding style issues. + + * A test to demonstrate "git mv" failing to adjust nested submodules + has been added. + (merge c514167df2 hv/mv-nested-submodules-test later to maint). + + * On Cygwin, "ulimit -s" does not report failure but it does not work + at all, which causes an unexpected success of some tests that + expect failures under a limited stack situation. This has been + fixed. + + * Many codepaths have been updated to squelch -Wimplicit-fallthrough + warnings from Gcc 7 (which is a good code hygiene). + + * Add a helper for DLL loading in anticipation for its need in a + future topic RSN. + + * "git status --ignored", when noticing that a directory without any + tracked path is ignored, still enumerated all the ignored paths in + the directory, which is unnecessary. The codepath has been + optimized to avoid this overhead. + + * The final batch to "git rebase -i" updates to move more code from + the shell script to C has been merged. + + * Operations that do not touch (majority of) packed refs have been + optimized by making accesses to packed-refs file lazy; we no longer + pre-parse everything, and an access to a single ref in the + packed-refs does not touch majority of irrelevant refs, either. + + * Add comment to clarify that the style file is meant to be used with + clang-5 and the rules are still work in progress. + + * Many variables that points at a region of memory that will live + throughout the life of the program have been marked with UNLEAK + marker to help the leak checkers concentrate on real leaks.. + + * Plans for weaning us off of SHA-1 has been documented. + + * A new "oidmap" API has been introduced and oidset API has been + rewritten to use it. + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v2.14 +----------------- + + * "%C(color name)" in the pretty print format always produced ANSI + color escape codes, which was an early design mistake. They now + honor the configuration (e.g. "color.ui = never") and also tty-ness + of the output medium. + + * The http.{sslkey,sslCert} configuration variables are to be + interpreted as a pathname that honors "~[username]/" prefix, but + weren't, which has been fixed. + + * Numerous bugs in walking of reflogs via "log -g" and friends have + been fixed. + + * "git commit" when seeing an totally empty message said "you did not + edit the message", which is clearly wrong. The message has been + corrected. + + * When a directory is not readable, "gitweb" fails to build the + project list. Work this around by skipping such a directory. + + * Some versions of GnuPG fails to kill gpg-agent it auto-spawned + and such a left-over agent can interfere with a test. Work it + around by attempting to kill one before starting a new test. + + * A recently added test for the "credential-cache" helper revealed + that EOF detection done around the time the connection to the cache + daemon is torn down were flaky. This was fixed by reacting to + ECONNRESET and behaving as if we got an EOF. + + * "git log --tag=no-such-tag" showed log starting from HEAD, which + has been fixed---it now shows nothing. + + * The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who + actually create tag objects, as it interfered with the use of an + editor. A new mechanism has been introduced for commands to enable + pager depending on what operation is being carried out to fix this, + and then "git tag -l" is made to run pager by default. + + * "git push --recurse-submodules $there HEAD:$target" was not + propagated down to the submodules, but now it is. + + * Commands like "git rebase" accepted the --rerere-autoupdate option + from the command line, but did not always use it. This has been + fixed. + + * "git clone --recurse-submodules --quiet" did not pass the quiet + option down to submodules. + + * Test portability fix for OBSD. + + * Portability fix for OBSD. + + * "git am -s" has been taught that some input may end with a trailer + block that is not Signed-off-by: and it should refrain from adding + an extra blank line before adding a new sign-off in such a case. + + * "git svn" used with "--localtime" option did not compute the tz + offset for the timestamp in question and instead always used the + current time, which has been corrected. + + * Memory leak in an error codepath has been plugged. + + * "git stash -u" used the contents of the committed version of the + ".gitignore" file to decide which paths are ignored, even when the + file has local changes. The command has been taught to instead use + the locally modified contents. + + * bash 4.4 or newer gave a warning on NUL byte in command + substitution done in "git stash"; this has been squelched. + + * "git grep -L" and "git grep --quiet -L" reported different exit + codes; this has been corrected. + + * When handshake with a subprocess filter notices that the process + asked for an unknown capability, Git did not report what program + the offending subprocess was running. This has been corrected. + + * "git apply" that is used as a better "patch -p1" failed to apply a + taken from a file with CRLF line endings to a file with CRLF line + endings. The root cause was because it misused convert_to_git() + that tried to do "safe-crlf" processing by looking at the index + entry at the same path, which is a nonsense---in that mode, "apply" + is not working on the data in (or derived from) the index at all. + This has been fixed. + + * Killing "git merge --edit" before the editor returns control left + the repository in a state with MERGE_MSG but without MERGE_HEAD, + which incorrectly tells the subsequent "git commit" that there was + a squash merge in progress. This has been fixed. + + * "git archive" did not work well with pathspecs and the + export-ignore attribute. + + * In addition to "cc: <a@dd.re.ss> # cruft", "cc: a@dd.re.ss # cruft" + was taught to "git send-email" as a valid way to tell it that it + needs to also send a carbon copy to <a@dd.re.ss> in the trailer + section. + + * "git branch -M a b" while on a branch that is completely unrelated + to either branch a or branch b misbehaved when multiple worktree + was in use. This has been fixed. + (merge 31824d180d nd/worktree-kill-parse-ref later to maint). + + * "git gc" and friends when multiple worktrees are used off of a + single repository did not consider the index and per-worktree refs + of other worktrees as the root for reachability traversal, making + objects that are in use only in other worktrees to be subject to + garbage collection. + + * A regression to "gitk --bisect" by a recent update has been fixed. + + * "git -c submodule.recurse=yes pull" did not work as if the + "--recurse-submodules" option was given from the command line. + This has been corrected. + + * Unlike "git commit-tree < file", "git commit-tree -F file" did not + pass the contents of the file verbatim and instead completed an + incomplete line at the end, if exists. The latter has been updated + to match the behaviour of the former. + + * Many codepaths did not diagnose write failures correctly when disks + go full, due to their misuse of write_in_full() helper function, + which have been corrected. + (merge f48ecd38cb jk/write-in-full-fix later to maint). + + * "git help co" now says "co is aliased to ...", not "git co is". + (merge b3a8076e0d ks/help-alias-label later to maint). + + * "git archive", especially when used with pathspec, stored an empty + directory in its output, even though Git itself never does so. + This has been fixed. + + * API error-proofing which happens to also squelch warnings from GCC. + + * The explanation of the cut-line in the commit log editor has been + slightly tweaked. + (merge 8c4b1a3593 ks/commit-do-not-touch-cut-line later to maint). + + * "git gc" tries to avoid running two instances at the same time by + reading and writing pid/host from and to a lock file; it used to + use an incorrect fscanf() format when reading, which has been + corrected. + + * The scripts to drive TravisCI has been reorganized and then an + optimization to avoid spending cycles on a branch whose tip is + tagged has been implemented. + (merge 8376eb4a8f ls/travis-scriptify later to maint). + + * The test linter has been taught that we do not like "echo -e". + + * Code cmp.std.c nitpick. + + * A regression fix for 2.11 that made the code to read the list of + alternate object stores overrun the end of the string. + (merge f0f7bebef7 jk/info-alternates-fix later to maint). + + * "git describe --match" learned to take multiple patterns in v2.13 + series, but the feature ignored the patterns after the first one + and did not work at all. This has been fixed. + + * "git filter-branch" cannot reproduce a history with a tag without + the tagger field, which only ancient versions of Git allowed to be + created. This has been corrected. + (merge b2c1ca6b4b ic/fix-filter-branch-to-handle-tag-without-tagger later to maint). + + * "git cat-file --textconv" started segfaulting recently, which + has been corrected. + + * The built-in pattern to detect the "function header" for HTML did + not match <H1>..<H6> elements without any attributes, which has + been fixed. + + * "git mailinfo" was loose in decoding quoted printable and produced + garbage when the two letters after the equal sign are not + hexadecimal. This has been fixed. + + * The machinery to create xdelta used in pack files received the + sizes of the data in size_t, but lost the higher bits of them by + storing them in "unsigned int" during the computation, which is + fixed. + + * The delta format used in the packfile cannot reference data at + offset larger than what can be expressed in 4-byte, but the + generator for the data failed to make sure the offset does not + overflow. This has been corrected. + + * The documentation for '-X<option>' for merges was misleadingly + written to suggest that "-s theirs" exists, which is not the case. + + * "git fast-export" with -M/-C option issued "copy" instruction on a + path that is simultaneously modified, which was incorrect. + (merge b3e8ca89cf jt/fast-export-copy-modify-fix later to maint). + + * Many codepaths have been updated to squelch -Wsign-compare + warnings. + (merge 071bcaab64 rj/no-sign-compare later to maint). + + * Memory leaks in various codepaths have been plugged. + (merge 4d01a7fa65 ma/leakplugs later to maint). + + * Recent versions of "git rev-parse --parseopt" did not parse the + option specification that does not have the optional flags (*=?!) + correctly, which has been corrected. + (merge a6304fa4c2 bc/rev-parse-parseopt-fix later to maint). + + * The checkpoint command "git fast-import" did not flush updates to + refs and marks unless at least one object was created since the + last checkpoint, which has been corrected, as these things can + happen without any new object getting created. + (merge 30e215a65c er/fast-import-dump-refs-on-checkpoint later to maint). + + * Spell the name of our system as "Git" in the output from + request-pull script. + + * Fixes for a handful memory access issues identified by valgrind. + + * Backports a moral equivalent of 2015 fix to the poll() emulation + from the upstream gnulib to fix occasional breakages on HPE NonStop. + + * Users with "color.ui = always" in their configuration were broken + by a recent change that made plumbing commands to pay attention to + them as the patch created internally by "git add -p" were colored + (heh) and made unusable.

Many codepaths have been updated to take advantage + of this new facility. + + * Calling cmd_foo() as if it is a general purpose helper function is + a no-no. Correct two instances of such to set an example. + + * We try to see if somebody runs our test suite with a shell that + does not support "local" like bash/dash does. + + * An early part of piece-by-piece rewrite of "git bisect" in C. + + * GSoC to piece-by-piece rewrite "git submodule" in C. + + * Optimize the code to find shortest unique prefix of object names. + + * Pathspec-limited revision traversal was taught not to keep finding + unneeded differences once it knows two trees are different inside + given pathspec. + + * Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues. + + * Code cleanup. + + * A single-word "unsigned flags" in the diff options is being split + into a structure with many bitfields. + + * TravisCI build updates. + + * Parts of a test to drive the long-running content filter interface + has been split into its own module, hopefully to eventually become + reusable. + + * Drop (perhaps overly cautious) sanity check before using the index + read from the filesystem at runtime. + + * The build procedure has been taught to avoid some unnecessary + instability in the build products. + + * A new mechanism to upgrade the wire protocol in place is proposed + and demonstrated that it works with the older versions of Git + without harming them. + + * An infrastructure to define what hash function is used in Git is + introduced, and an effort to plumb that throughout various + codepaths has been started. + + * The code to iterate over loose object files got optimized. + + * An internal function that was left for backward compatibility has + been removed, as there is no remaining callers. + + * Historically, the diff machinery for rename detection had a + hardcoded limit of 32k paths; this is being lifted to allow users + trade cycles with a (possibly) easier to read result. + + * The tracing infrastructure has been optimized for cases where no + tracing is requested. + + * In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the object + walking machinery has been taught a way to tell it to "filter" some + objects from enumeration. + + * A few structures and variables that are implementation details of + the decorate API have been renamed and then the API got documented + better. + + * Assorted updates for TravisCI integration. + (merge 4f26366679 sg/travis-fixes later to maint). + + * Introduce a helper to simplify code to parse a common pattern that + expects either "--key" or "--key=<something>". + + * "git version --build-options" learned to report the host CPU and + the exact commit object name the binary was built from. + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v2.15 +----------------- + + * "auto" as a value for the columnar output configuration ought to + judge "is the output consumed by humans?" with the same criteria as + "auto" for coloured output configuration, i.e. either the standard + output stream is going to tty, or a pager is in use.

This access pattern has been optimized. + (merge 87b5e236a1 jk/fewer-pack-rescan later to maint). + + * In addition to "git stash -m message", the command learned to + accept "git stash -mmessage" form. + (merge 5675473fcb ph/stash-save-m-option-fix later to maint). + + * @{-N} in "git checkout @{-N}" may refer to a detached HEAD state, + but the documentation was not clear about it, which has been fixed. + (merge 75ce149575 ks/doc-checkout-previous later to maint). + + * A regression in the progress eye-candy was fixed. + (merge 9c5951cacf jk/progress-delay-fix later to maint). + + * The code internal to the recursive merge strategy was not fully + prepared to see a path that is renamed to try overwriting another + path that is only different in case on case insensitive systems. + This does not matter in the current code, but will start to matter + once the rename detection logic starts taking hints from nearby + paths moving to some directory and moves a new path along with them. + (merge 4cba2b0108 en/merge-recursive-icase-removal later to maint). + + * An v2.12-era regression in pathspec match logic, which made it look + into submodule tree even when it is not desired, has been fixed. + (merge eef3df5a93 bw/pathspec-match-submodule-boundary later to maint). + + * Amending commits in git-gui broke the author name that is non-ascii + due to incorrect encoding conversion. + + * Recent update to the submodule configuration code broke "diff-tree" + by accidentally stopping to read from the index upfront. + (merge fd66bcc31f bw/submodule-config-cleanup later to maint). + + * Git shows a message to tell the user that it is waiting for the + user to finish editing when spawning an editor, in case the editor + opens to a hidden window or somewhere obscure and the user gets + lost. + (merge abfb04d0c7 ls/editor-waiting-message later to maint). + + * The "safe crlf" check incorrectly triggered for contents that does + not use CRLF as line endings, which has been corrected. + (merge 649f1f0948 tb/check-crlf-for-safe-crlf later to maint). + + * "git clone --shared" to borrow from a (secondary) worktree did not + work, even though "git clone --local" did.

There also is "make DEVOPTS=tokens" knob + available now, for those who want to help fixing warnings we + usually ignore, for example. + + * A new version of the transport protocol is being worked on. + + * The code to interface to GPG has been restructured somewhat to make + it cleaner to integrate with other types of signature systems later. + + * The code has been taught to use the duplicated information stored + in the commit-graph file to learn the tree object name for a commit + to avoid opening and parsing the commit object when it makes sense + to do so. + + * "git gc" in a large repository takes a lot of time as it considers + to repack all objects into one pack by default. The command has + been taught to pretend as if the largest existing packfile is + marked with ".keep" so that it is left untouched while objects in + other packs and loose ones are repacked. + + * The transport protocol v2 is getting updated further. + + * The codepath around object-info API has been taught to take the + repository object (which in turn tells the API which object store + the objects are to be located). + + * "git pack-objects" needs to allocate tons of "struct object_entry" + while doing its work, and shrinking its size helps the performance + quite a bit. + + * The implementation of "git rebase -i --root" has been updated to use + the sequencer machinery more. + + * Developer support update, by using BUG() macro instead of die() to + mark codepaths that should not happen more clearly. + + * Developer support. Use newer GCC on one of the builds done at + TravisCI.org to get more warnings and errors diagnosed. + + * Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues. + + * By code restructuring of submodule merge in merge-recursive, + informational messages from the codepath are now given using the + same mechanism as other output, and honor the merge.verbosity + configuration. The code also learned to give a few new messages + when a submodule three-way merge resolves cleanly when one side + records a descendant of the commit chosen by the other side. + + * Avoid unchecked snprintf() to make future code auditing easier. + (merge ac4896f007 jk/snprintf-truncation later to maint). + + * Many tests hardcode the raw object names, which would change once + we migrate away from SHA-1. While some of them must test against + exact object names, most of them do not have to use hardcoded + constants in the test. The latter kind of tests have been updated + to test the moral equivalent of the original without hardcoding the + actual object names. + + * The list of commands with their various attributes were spread + across a few places in the build procedure, but it now is getting a + bit more consolidated to allow more automation. + + * Quite a many tests assumed that newly created refs are made as + loose refs using the files backend, which have been updated to use + proper plumbing like rev-parse and update-ref, to avoid breakage + once we start using different ref backends. + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v2.17 +----------------- + + * "git shortlog cruft" aborted with a BUG message when run outside a + Git repository. The command has been taught to complain about + extra and unwanted arguments on its command line instead in such a + case. + (merge 4aa0161e83 ma/shortlog-revparse later to maint). + + * "git stash push -u -- <pathspec>" gave an unnecessary and confusing + error message when there was no tracked files that match the + <pathspec>, which has been fixed. + (merge 353278687e tg/stash-untracked-with-pathspec-fix later to maint). + + * "git tag --contains no-such-commit" gave a full list of options + after giving an error message. + (merge 3bb0923f06 ps/contains-id-error-message later to maint). + + * "diff-highlight" filter (in contrib/) learned to understand "git log + --graph" output better. + (merge 4551fbba14 jk/diff-highlight-graph-fix later to maint). + + * when refs that do not point at committish are given, "git + filter-branch" gave a misleading error messages.

These cases have been optimized by calling + oid_object_info() API (instead of reading and inspecting the data). + + * The end result of documentation update has been made to be + inspected more easily to help developers. + + * The API to iterate over all objects learned to optionally list + objects in the order they appear in packfiles, which helps locality + of access if the caller accesses these objects while as objects are + enumerated. + + * Improve built-in facility to catch broken &&-chain in the tests. + + * The more library-ish parts of the codebase learned to work on the + in-core index-state instance that is passed in by their callers, + instead of always working on the singleton "the_index" instance. + + * A test prerequisite defined by various test scripts with slightly + different semantics has been consolidated into a single copy and + made into a lazily defined one. + (merge 6ec633059a wc/make-funnynames-shared-lazy-prereq later to maint). + + * After a partial clone, repeated fetches from promisor remote would + have accumulated many packfiles marked with .promisor bit without + getting them coalesced into fewer packfiles, hurting performance. + "git repack" now learned to repack them. + + * Partially revert the support for multiple hash functions to regain + hash comparison performance; we'd think of a way to do this better + in the next cycle. + + * "git help --config" (which is used in command line completion) + missed the configuration variables not described in the main + config.txt file but are described in another file that is included + by it, which has been corrected. + + * The test linter code has learned that the end of here-doc mark + "EOF" can be quoted in a double-quote pair, not just in a + single-quote pair. + + +Fixes since v2.18 +----------------- + + * "git remote update" can take both a single remote nickname and a + nickname for remote groups, and the completion script (in contrib/) + has been taught about it. + (merge 9cd4382ad5 ls/complete-remote-update-names later to maint). + + * "git fetch --shallow-since=<cutoff>" that specifies the cut-off + point that is newer than the existing history used to end up + grabbing the entire history.

Also the error reporting behaviour when + daemonized has been updated to exit with zero status when stopping + due to a previously discovered error (which implies there is no + point running gc to improve the situation); we used to exit with + failure in such a case. + + * Various codepaths in the core-ish part learned to work on an + arbitrary in-core index structure, not necessarily the default + instance "the_index". + (merge b3c7eef9b0 nd/the-index later to maint). + + * Code clean-up in the internal machinery used by "git status" and + "git commit --dry-run". + (merge 73ba5d78b4 ss/wt-status-committable later to maint). + + * Some environment variables that control the runtime options of Git + used during tests are getting renamed for consistency. + (merge 4231d1ba99 bp/rename-test-env-var later to maint). + + * A pair of new extensions to the index file have been introduced. + They allow the index file to be read in parallel for performance. + + * The oidset API was built on top of the oidmap API which in turn is + on the hashmap API. Replace the implementation to build on top of + the khash API and gain performance. + + * Over some transports, fetching objects with an exact commit object + name can be done without first seeing the ref advertisements. The + code has been optimized to exploit this. + + * In a partial clone that will lazily be hydrated from the + originating repository, we generally want to avoid "does this + object exist (locally)?" on objects that we deliberately omitted + when we created the clone. The cache-tree codepath (which is used + to write a tree object out of the index) however insisted that the + object exists, even for paths that are outside of the partial + checkout area. The code has been updated to avoid such a check. + + * To help developers, an EditorConfig file that attempts to follow + the project convention has been added. + (merge b548d698a0 bc/editorconfig later to maint). + + * The result of coverage test can be combined with "git blame" to + check the test coverage of code introduced recently with a new + 'coverage-diff' tool (in contrib/). + (merge 783faedd65 ds/coverage-diff later to maint). + + * An experiment to fuzz test a few areas, hopefully we can gain more + coverage to various areas. + + * More codepaths are moving away from hardcoded hash sizes. + + * The way the Windows port figures out the current directory has been + improved. + + * The way DLLs are loaded on the Windows port has been improved. + + * Some tests have been reorganized and renamed; "ls t/" now gives a + better overview of what is tested for these scripts than before. + + * "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" have been reimplemented in C. + + * Windows port learned to use nano-second resolution file timestamps. + + * The overly large Documentation/config.txt file have been split into + million little pieces. This potentially allows each individual piece + to be included into the manual page of the command it affects more easily. + + * Replace three string-list instances used as look-up tables in "git + fetch" with hashmaps. + + * Unify code to read the author-script used in "git am" and the + commands that use the sequencer machinery, e.g. "git rebase -i". + + * In preparation to the day when we can deprecate and remove the + "rebase -p", make sure we can skip and later remove tests for + it. + + * The history traversal used to implement the tag-following has been + optimized by introducing a new helper. + + * The helper function to refresh the cached stat information in the + in-core index has learned to perform the lstat() part of the + operation in parallel on multi-core platforms. + + * The code to traverse objects for reachability, used to decide what + objects are unreferenced and expendable, have been taught to also + consider per-worktree refs of other worktrees as starting points to + prevent data loss. + + * "git add" needs to internally run "diff-files" equivalent, and the + codepath learned the same optimization as "diff-files" has to run + lstat(2) in parallel to find which paths have been updated in the + working tree. + + * The procedure to install dependencies before testing at Travis CI + is getting revamped for both simplicity and flexibility, taking + advantage of the recent move to the vm-based environment. + + * The support for format-patch (and send-email) by the command-line + completion script (in contrib/) has been simplified a bit. + + * The revision walker machinery learned to take advantage of the + commit generation numbers stored in the commit-graph file. + + * The codebase has been cleaned up to reduce "#ifndef NO_PTHREADS". + + * The way -lcurl library gets linked has been simplified by taking + advantage of the fact that we can just ask curl-config command how. + + * Various functions have been audited for "-Wunused-parameter" warnings + and bugs in them got fixed. + + * A sanity check for start-up sequence has been added in the config + API codepath. + + * The build procedure to link for fuzzing test has been made + customizable with a new Makefile variable. + + * The way "git rebase" parses and forwards the command line options + meant for underlying "git am" has been revamped, which fixed for + options with parameters that were not passed correctly. + + * Our testing framework uses a special i18n "poisoned localization" + feature to find messages that ought to stay constant but are + incorrectly marked to be translated. This feature has been made + into a runtime option (it used to be a compile-time option). + + * "git push" used to check ambiguities between object-names and + refnames while processing the list of refs' old and new values, + which was unnecessary (as it knew that it is feeding raw object + names). This has been optimized out. + + * The xcurl_off_t() helper function is used to cast size_t to + curl_off_t, but some compilers gave warnings against the code to + ensure the casting is done without wraparound, when size_t is + narrower than curl_off_t.

As this is inherently less robust heuristics than the one + based on the content similarity of the file itself (rather than + based on what its neighbours are doing), it sometimes gives an + outcome unexpected by the end users.

This is being rewritten to use the + parse-options API. + + * The implementation of pack-redundant has been updated for + performance in a repository with many packfiles. + + * A more structured way to obtain execution trace has been added. + + * "git prune" has been taught to take advantage of reachability + bitmap when able. + + * The command line parser of "git commit-tree" has been rewritten to + use the parse-options API. + + * Suggest GitGitGadget instead of submitGit as a way to submit + patches based on GitHub PR to us. + + * The test framework has been updated to help developers by making it + easier to run most of the tests under different versions of + over-the-wire protocols. + + * Dev support update to make it easier to compare two formatted + results from our documentation. + + * The scripted "git rebase" implementation has been retired. + + * "git multi-pack-index verify" did not scale well with the number of + packfiles, which is being improved. + + * "git stash" has been rewritten in C. + + * The "check-docs" Makefile target to support developers has been + updated. + + * The tests have been updated not to rely on the abbreviated option + names the parse-options API offers, to protect us from an + abbreviated form of an option that used to be unique within the + command getting non-unique when a new option that share the same + prefix is added. + + * The scripted version of "git rebase -i" wrote and rewrote the todo + list many times during a single step of its operation, and the + recent C-rewrite made a faithful conversion of the logic to C. The + implementation has been updated to carry necessary information + around in-core to avoid rewriting the same file over and over + unnecessarily. + + * Test framework update to more robustly clean up leftover files and + processes after tests are done. + + * Conversion from unsigned char[20] to struct object_id continues. + + * While running "git diff" in a lazy clone, we can upfront know which + missing blobs we will need, instead of waiting for the on-demand + machinery to discover them one by one.

Those who need to build with an + old GCC can still use "CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R" + + * Prepare use of reachability index in topological walker that works + on a range (A..B). + + * A new tutorial targeting specifically aspiring git-core + developers has been added. + + * Auto-detect how to tell HP-UX aCC where to use dynamically linked + libraries from at runtime. + + * "git mergetool" and its tests now spawn fewer subprocesses. + + * Dev support update to help tracing out tests. + + * Support to build with MSVC has been updated. + + * "git fetch" that grabs from a group of remotes learned to run the + auto-gc only once at the very end. + + * A handful of Windows build patches have been upstreamed. + + * The code to read state files used by the sequencer machinery for + "git status" has been made more robust against a corrupt or stale + state files. + + * "git for-each-ref" with multiple patterns have been optimized. + + * The tree-walk API learned to pass an in-core repository + instance throughout more codepaths. + + * When one step in multi step cherry-pick or revert is reset or + committed, the command line prompt script failed to notice the + current status, which has been improved. + + * Many GIT_TEST_* environment variables control various aspects of + how our tests are run, but a few followed "non-empty is true, empty + or unset is false" while others followed the usual "there are a few + ways to spell true, like yes, on, etc., and also ways to spell + false, like no, off, etc." convention. + + * Adjust the dir-iterator API and apply it to the local clone + optimization codepath. + + * We have been trying out a few language features outside c89; the + coding guidelines document did not talk about them and instead had + a blanket ban against them. + + * A test helper has been introduced to optimize preparation of test + repositories with many simple commits, and a handful of test + scripts have been updated to use it. + + +Fixes since v2.22 +----------------- + + * A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>" + ought to be relative to the directory "git init" gets invoked in, + but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been + corrected. + + * "git worktree add" used to fail when another worktree connected to + the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected. + + * The ownership rule for the file descriptor to fast-import remote + backend was mixed up, leading to an unrelated file descriptor getting + closed, which has been fixed. + + * A "merge -c" instruction during "git rebase --rebase-merges" should + give the user a chance to edit the log message, even when there is + otherwise no need to create a new merge and replace the existing + one (i.e. fast-forward instead), but did not.

Let's polish these early parts well enough and make + them graduate to 'next' and 'master', so that the more involved + follow-up can start cooking on a solid ground. + + * Some features from "git tag -l" and "git branch -l" have been made + available to "git for-each-ref" so that eventually the unified + implementation can be shared across all three. The version merged + to the 'master' branch earlier had a performance regression in "tag + --contains", which has since been corrected. + + * Because "test_when_finished" in our test framework queues the + clean-up tasks to be done in a shell variable, it should not be + used inside a subshell. Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch + such uses, and fix the ones that were found. + + * The debugging infrastructure for pkt-line based communication has + been improved to mark the side-band communication specifically. + + * Update "git branch" that list existing branches, using the + ref-filter API that is shared with "git tag" and "git + for-each-ref". + + * The test for various line-ending conversions has been enhanced. + + * A few test scripts around "git p4" have been improved for + portability. + + * Many allocations that is manually counted (correctly) that are + followed by strcpy/sprintf have been replaced with a less error + prone constructs such as xstrfmt. + + * 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. + + * "git am" used to spawn "git mailinfo" via run_command() API once + per each patch, but learned to make a direct call to mailinfo() + instead. + + * The implementation of "git mailinfo" was refactored so that a + mailinfo() function can be directly called from inside a process. + + * With a "debug" helper, debugging of a single "git" invocation in + our test scripts has become a lot easier. + + * The "configure" script did not test for -lpthread correctly, which + upset some linkers. + + * Cross completed task off of subtree project's todo list. + + * Test cleanups for the subtree project. + + * Clean up style in an ancient test t9300. + + * Work around some test flakiness with p4d. + + * Fsck did not correctly detect a NUL-truncated header in a tag. + + * Use a safer behavior when we hit errors verifying remote certificates. + + * Speed up filter-branch for cases where we only care about rewriting + commits, not tree data. + + * The parse-options API has been updated to make "-h" command line + option work more consistently in all commands. + + * "git svn rebase/mkdirs" got optimized by keeping track of empty + directories better. + + * Fix some racy client/server tests by treating SIGPIPE the same as a + normal non-zero exit. + + * The necessary infrastructure to build topics using the free Travis + CI has been added.

Add notice to documentation of each and + every one of them. + + * "git blame --first-parent v1.0..v2.0" was not rejected but did not + limit the blame to commits on the first parent chain. + + * "git subtree" (in contrib/) now can take whitespaces in the + pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of the + directory that the repository is in. + + * The ssh transport, just like any other transport over the network, + did not clear GIT_* environment variables, but it is possible to + use SendEnv and AcceptEnv to leak them to the remote invocation of + Git, which is not a good idea at all. Explicitly clear them just + like we do for the local transport. + + * 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 Makefile always runs the library archiver with hardcoded "crs" + options, which was inconvenient for exotic platforms on which + people want to use programs with totally different set of command + line options. + + * Customization to change the behaviour with "make -w" and "make -s" + in our Makefile was broken when they were used together. + + * Allocation related functions and stdio are unsafe things to call + inside a signal handler, and indeed killing the pager can cause + glibc to deadlock waiting on allocation mutex as our signal handler + tries to free() some data structures in wait_for_pager(). Reduce + these unsafe calls. + + * The way how --ref/--notes to specify the notes tree reference are + DWIMmed was not clearly documented. + + * "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"). + + * "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. + + * Description of the "log.follow" configuration variable in "git log" + documentation is now also copied to "git config" documentation. + + * "git rebase -i" had a minor regression recently, which stopped + considering a line that begins with an indented '#' in its insn + sheet not a comment. Further, the code was still 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 of bash. Both of + these issues are now fixed. + + * After "git checkout --detach", "git status" reported a fairly + useless "HEAD detached at HEAD", instead of saying at which exact + commit. + + * 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. + + * When "git am" was rewritten as a built-in, it stopped paying + attention to user.signingkey, which was fixed. + + * It was not possible to use a repository-lookalike created by "git + worktree add" as a local source of "git clone". + + * On a case insensitive filesystems, setting GIT_WORK_TREE variable + using a random cases that does not agree with what the filesystem + thinks confused Git that it wasn't inside the working tree. + + * Performance-measurement tests did not work without an installed Git. + + * A test script for the HTTP service had a timing dependent bug, + which was fixed. + + * There were some classes of errors that "git fsck" diagnosed to its + standard error that did not cause it to exit with non-zero status. + + * Work around "git p4" failing when the P4 depot records the contents + in UTF-16 without UTF-16 BOM. + + * When "git gc --auto" is backgrounded, its diagnosis message is + lost. Save it to a file in $GIT_DIR and show it next time the "gc + --auto" is run. + + * The submodule code has been taught to work better with separate + work trees created via "git worktree add". + + * "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. + + * 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. + + * A test for interaction between untracked cache and sparse checkout + added in Git 2.5 days were flaky. + + * 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 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. + + * "git am -3" had a small regression where it is aborted in its error + handling codepath when underlying merge-recursive failed in certain + ways, as it assumed that the internal call to merge-recursive will + never die, which is not the case (yet). + + * The linkage order of libraries was wrong in places around libcurl. + + * The name-hash subsystem that is used to cope with case insensitive + filesystems keeps track of directories and their on-filesystem + cases for all the paths in the index by holding a pointer to a + randomly chosen cache entry that is inside the directory (for its + ce->ce_name component). 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. + + * "git merge-file" tried to signal how many conflicts it found, which + obviously would not work well when there are too many of them. + + * The error message from "git blame --contents --reverse" incorrectly + talked about "--contents --children". + + * "git imap-send" did not compile well with older version of cURL library. + + * 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 --literal-pathspecs add -u/-A" without any command line + argument misbehaved ever since Git 2.0. + + * "git daemon" uses "run_command()" without "finish_command()", so it + needs to release resources itself, which it forgot to do. + + * "git status --branch --short" accessed beyond the constant string + "HEAD", which has been corrected. + + * 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. + + * The code to prepare the working tree side of temporary directory + for the "dir-diff" feature forgot that symbolic links need not be + copied (or symlinked) to the temporary area, as the code already + special cases and overwrites them. Besides, it was wrong to try + computing the object name of the target of symbolic link, which may + not even exist or may be a directory. + + * A Range: request can be responded with a full response and when + asked properly libcurl knows how to strip the result down to the + requested range. However, we were hand-crafting a range request + and it did not kick in. + + * Having a leftover .idx file without corresponding .pack file in + the repository hurts performance; "git gc" learned to prune them. + + * Apple's common crypto implementation of SHA1_Update() does not take + more than 4GB at a time, and we now have a compile-time workaround + for it. + + * Produce correct "dirty" marker for shell prompts, even when we + are on an orphan or an unborn branch. + + * A build without NO_IPv6 used to use gethostbyname() when guessing + user's hostname, instead of getaddrinfo() that is used in other + codepaths in such a build. + + * The exit code of git-fsck did not reflect some types of errors + found in packed objects, which has been corrected. + + * The helper used to iterate over loose object directories to prune + stale objects did not closedir() immediately when it is done with a + directory--a callback such as the one used for "git prune" may want + to do rmdir(), but it would fail on open directory on platforms + such as WinXP. + + * "git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths outside + the client spec as empty commits.

The traditional tests have been renamed + to use "work-tree" instead in an attempt to differentiate them. + (merge 5549029 mg/work-tree-tests later to maint). + + * Many codepaths forget to check return value from git_config_set(); + the function is made to die() to make sure we do not proceed when + setting a configuration variable failed. + (merge 3d18064 ps/config-error later to maint). + + * Handling of errors while writing into our internal asynchronous + process has been made more robust, which reduces flakiness in our + tests. + (merge 43f3afc jk/epipe-in-async later to maint). + + * There is a new DEVELOPER knob that enables many compiler warning + options in the Makefile. + + * The way the test scripts configure the Apache web server has been + updated to work also for Apache 2.4 running on RedHat derived + distros. + + * Out of maintenance gcc on OSX 10.6 fails to compile the code in + 'master'; work it around by using clang by default on the platform. + + * The "name_path" API was an attempt to reduce the need to construct + the full path out of a series of path components while walking a + tree hierarchy, but over time made less efficient because the path + needs to be flattened, e.g. to be compared with another path that + is already flat, in many cases. The API has been removed and its + users have been rewritten to simplify the overall code complexity. + This incidentally also closes some heap-corruption holes. + + * Recent versions of GNU grep is pickier than before to decide if a + file is "binary" and refuse to give line-oriented hits when we + expect it to, unless explicitly told with "-a" option. As our + scripted Porcelains use sane_grep wrapper for line-oriented data, + even when the line may contain non-ASCII payload we took from + end-user data, use "grep -a" to implement sane_grep wrapper when + using an implementation of "grep" that takes the "-a" option. + + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v2.7 +---------------- + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.7 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' +notes for details). + + * An earlier change in 2.5.x-era broke users' hooks and aliases by + exporting GIT_WORK_TREE to point at the root of the working tree, + interfering when they tried to use a different working tree without + setting GIT_WORK_TREE environment themselves. + + * The "exclude_list" structure has the usual "alloc, nr" pair of + fields to be used by ALLOC_GROW(), but clear_pattern_list() forgot + to reset 'alloc' to 0 when it cleared 'nr' to discard the managed + array. + + * Paths that have been told the index about with "add -N" are not + quite yet in the index, but a few commands behaved as if they + already are in a harmful way. + + * "git send-email" was confused by escaped quotes stored in the alias + files saved by "mutt", which has been corrected. + + * A few non-portable C construct have been spotted by clang compiler + and have been fixed. + + * The documentation has been updated to hint the connection between + the '--signoff' option and DCO. + + * "git reflog" incorrectly assumed that all objects that used to be + at the tip of a ref must be commits, which caused it to segfault. + + * The ignore mechanism saw a few regressions around untracked file + listing and sparse checkout selection areas in 2.7.0; the change + that is responsible for the regression has been reverted. + + * Some codepaths used fopen(3) when opening a fixed path in $GIT_DIR + (e.g. COMMIT_EDITMSG) that is meant to be left after the command is + done. This however did not work well if the repository is set to + be shared with core.sharedRepository and the umask of the previous + user is tighter. They have been made to work better by calling + unlink(2) and retrying after fopen(3) fails with EPERM. + + * Asking gitweb for a nonexistent commit left a warning in the server + log. + + Somebody may want to follow this up with an additional test, perhaps? + IIRC, we do test that no Perl warnings are given to the server log, + so this should have been caught if our test coverage were good. + + * "git rebase", unlike all other callers of "gc --auto", did not + ignore the exit code from "gc --auto". + + * Many codepaths that run "gc --auto" before exiting kept packfiles + mapped and left the file descriptors to them open, which was not + friendly to systems that cannot remove files that are open. They + now close the packs before doing so. + + * A recent optimization to filter-branch in v2.7.0 introduced a + regression when --prune-empty filter is used, which has been + corrected. + + * The description for SANITY prerequisite the test suite uses has + been clarified both in the comment and in the implementation. + + * "git tag" started listing a tag "foo" as "tags/foo" when a branch + named "foo" exists in the same repository; remove this unnecessary + disambiguation, which is a regression introduced in v2.7.0. + + * The way "git svn" uses auth parameter was broken by Subversion + 1.9.0 and later. + + * The "split" subcommand of "git subtree" (in contrib/) incorrectly + skipped merges when it shouldn't, which was corrected. + + * A few options of "git diff" did not work well when the command was + run from a subdirectory. + + * The command line completion learned a handful of additional options + and command specific syntax. + + * dirname() emulation has been added, as Msys2 lacks it. + + * The underlying machinery used by "ls-files -o" and other commands + has been taught not to create empty submodule ref cache for a + directory that is not a submodule. This removes a ton of wasted + CPU cycles. + + * "git worktree" had a broken code that attempted to auto-fix + possible inconsistency that results from end-users moving a + worktree to different places without telling Git (the original + repository needs to maintain back-pointers to its worktrees, + but "mv" run by end-users who are not familiar with that fact + will obviously not adjust them), which actually made things + worse when triggered. + + * The low-level merge machinery has been taught to use CRLF line + termination when inserting conflict markers to merged contents that + are themselves CRLF line-terminated. + + * "git push --force-with-lease" has been taught to report if the push + needed to force (or fast-forwarded). + + * The emulated "yes" command used in our test scripts has been + tweaked not to spend too much time generating unnecessary output + that is not used, to help those who test on Windows where it would + not stop until it fills the pipe buffer due to lack of SIGPIPE. + + * The documentation for "git clean" has been corrected; it mentioned + that .git/modules/* are removed by giving two "-f", which has never + been the case. + + * The vimdiff backend for "git mergetool" has been tweaked to arrange + and number buffers in the order that would match the expectation of + majority of people who read left to right, then top down and assign + buffers 1 2 3 4 "mentally" to local base remote merge windows based + on that order. + + * "git show 'HEAD:Foo[BAR]Baz'" did not interpret the argument as a + rev, i.e. the object named by the the pathname with wildcard + characters in a tree object. + (merge aac4fac nd/dwim-wildcards-as-pathspecs later to maint). + + * "git rev-parse --git-common-dir" used in the worktree feature + misbehaved when run from a subdirectory. + (merge 17f1365 nd/git-common-dir-fix later to maint). + + * "git worktree add -B <branchname>" did not work. + + * The "v(iew)" subcommand of the interactive "git am -i" command was + broken in 2.6.0 timeframe when the command was rewritten in C. + (merge 708b8cc jc/am-i-v-fix later to maint). + + * "git merge-tree" used to mishandle "both sides added" conflict with + its own "create a fake ancestor file that has the common parts of + what both sides have added and do a 3-way merge" logic; this has + been updated to use the usual "3-way merge with an empty blob as + the fake common ancestor file" approach used in the rest of the + system. + (merge 907681e jk/no-diff-emit-common later to maint). + + * The memory ownership rule of fill_textconv() API, which was a bit + tricky, has been documented a bit better. + (merge a64e6a4 jk/more-comments-on-textconv later to maint). + + * Update various codepaths to avoid manually-counted malloc(). + (merge 08c95df jk/tighten-alloc later to maint). + + * The documentation did not clearly state that the 'simple' mode is + now the default for "git push" when push.default configuration is + not set. + (merge f6b1fb3 mm/push-simple-doc later to maint). + + * Recent versions of GNU grep are pickier when their input contains + arbitrary binary data, which some of our tests uses.

We already hide `--patch` option + from the documentation, because format-patch is about showing the + diff, and the documentation now hides these options as well. + + * When running "git blame $path" with unnormalized data in the index + for the path, the data in the working tree was blamed, even though + "git add" would not have changed what is already in the index, due + to "safe crlf" that disables the line-end conversion. It has been + corrected. + + * A change back in version 2.7 to "git branch" broke display of a + symbolic ref in a non-standard place in the refs/ hierarchy (we + expect symbolic refs to appear in refs/remotes/*/HEAD to point at + the primary branch the remote has, and as .git/HEAD to point at the + branch we locally checked out). + + * A partial rewrite of "git submodule" in the 2.7 timeframe changed + the way the gitdir: pointer in the submodules point at the real + repository location to use absolute paths by accident. This has + been corrected. + + * "git commit" misbehaved in a few minor ways when an empty message + is given via -m '', all of which has been corrected. + + * Support for CRAM-MD5 authentication method in "git imap-send" did + not work well. + + * Upcoming OpenSSL 1.1.0 will break compilation by updating a few API + elements we use in imap-send, which has been adjusted for the change. + + * The socks5:// proxy support added back in 2.6.4 days was not aware + that socks5h:// proxies behave differently from socks5:// proxies. + + * "git config" had a codepath that tried to pass a NULL to + printf("%s"), which nobody seems to have noticed. + + * On Cygwin, object creation uses the "create a temporary and then + rename it to the final name" pattern, not "create a temporary, + hardlink it to the final name and then unlink the temporary" + pattern. + + This is necessary to use Git on Windows shared directories, and is + already enabled for the MinGW and plain Windows builds. It also + has been used in Cygwin packaged versions of Git for quite a while. + See https://lore.kernel.org/git/20160419091055.GF2345@dinwoodie.org/ + + * "merge-octopus" strategy did not ensure that the index is clean + when merge begins. + + * When "git merge" notices that the merge can be resolved purely at + the tree level (without having to merge blobs) and the resulting + tree happens to already exist in the object store, it forgot to + update the index, which left an inconsistent state that would + break later operations. + + * "git submodule" reports the paths of submodules the command + recurses into, but these paths were incorrectly reported when + the command was not run from the root level of the superproject. + + * The "user.useConfigOnly" configuration variable makes it an error + if users do not explicitly set user.name and user.email. However, + its check was not done early enough and allowed another error to + trigger, reporting that the default value we guessed from the + system setting was unusable. This was a suboptimal end-user + experience as we want the users to set user.name/user.email without + relying on the auto-detection at all. + + * "git mv old new" did not adjust the path for a submodule that lives + as a subdirectory inside old/ directory correctly. + + * "git replace -e" did not honour "core.editor" configuration. + + * "git push" from a corrupt repository that attempts to push a large + number of refs deadlocked; the thread to relay rejection notices + for these ref updates blocked on writing them to the main thread, + after the main thread at the receiving end notices that the push + failed and decides not to read these notices and return a failure. + + * mmap emulation on Windows has been optimized and work better without + consuming paging store when not needed. + + * A question by "git send-email" to ask the identity of the sender + has been updated. + + * UI consistency improvements for "git mergetool". + + * "git rebase -m" could be asked to rebase an entire branch starting + from the root, but failed by assuming that there always is a parent + commit to the first commit on the branch. + + * Fix a broken "p4 lfs" test. + + * Recent update to Git LFS broke "git p4" by changing the output from + its "lfs pointer" subcommand. + + * "git fetch" test t5510 was flaky while running a (forced) automagic + garbage collection. + + * Documentation updates to help contributors setting up Travis CI + test for their patches. + + * Some multi-byte encoding can have a backslash byte as a later part + of one letter, which would confuse "highlight" filter used in + gitweb. + + * "git commit-tree" plumbing command required the user to always sign + its result when the user sets the commit.gpgsign configuration + variable, which was an ancient mistake. Rework "git rebase" that + relied on this mistake so that it reads commit.gpgsign and pass (or + not pass) the -S option to "git commit-tree" to keep the end-user + expectation the same, while teaching "git commit-tree" to ignore + the configuration variable. This will stop requiring the users to + sign commit objects used internally as an implementation detail of + "git stash". + + * "http.cookieFile" configuration variable clearly wants a pathname, + but we forgot to treat it as such by e.g. applying tilde expansion. + + * Consolidate description of tilde-expansion that is done to + configuration variables that take pathname to a single place. + + * Correct faulty recommendation to use "git submodule deinit ." when + de-initialising all submodules, which would result in a strange + error message in a pathological corner case. + + * Many 'linkgit:<git documentation page>' references were broken, + which are all fixed with this. + + * "git rerere" can get confused by conflict markers deliberately left + by the inner merge step, because they are indistinguishable from + the real conflict markers left by the outermost merge which are + what the end user and "rerere" need to look at. This was fixed by + making the conflict markers left by the inner merges a bit longer. + (merge 0f9fd5c jc/ll-merge-internal later to maint). + + * CI test was taught to build documentation pages. + + * "git fsck" learned to catch NUL byte in a commit object as + potential error and warn. + + * Portability enhancement for "rebase -i" to help platforms whose + shell does not like "for i in <empty>" (which is not POSIX-kosher). + + * 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. + + * Documentation for "git merge --verify-signatures" has been updated + to clarify that the signature of only the commit at the tip is + verified. Also the phrasing used for signature and key validity is + adjusted to align with that used by OpenPGP. + + * A couple of bugs around core.autocrlf have been fixed. + + * 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.
