Git v2.47 Release Notes
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Many Porcelain commands that internally use the merge machinery
|
|
were taught to consistently honor the diff.algorithm configuration.
|
|
|
|
* A few descriptions in "git show-ref -h" have been clarified.
|
|
|
|
* A 'P' command to "git add -p" that passes the patch hunk to the
|
|
pager has been added.
|
|
|
|
* "git grep -W" omits blank lines that follow the found function at
|
|
the end of the file, just like it omits blank lines before the next
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
* The value of http.proxy can have "path" at the end for a socks
|
|
proxy that listens to a unix-domain socket, but we started to
|
|
discard it when we taught proxy auth code path to use the
|
|
credential helpers, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* The code paths to compact multiple reftable files have been updated
|
|
to correctly deal with multiple compaction triggering at the same
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
* Support to specify ref backend for submodules has been enhanced.
|
|
|
|
* "git svn" has been taught about svn:global-ignores property
|
|
recent versions of Subversion has.
|
|
|
|
* The default object hash and ref backend format used to be settable
|
|
only with explicit command line option to "git init" and
|
|
environment variables, but now they can be configured in the user's
|
|
global and system wide configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* A build tweak knob has been simplified by not setting the value
|
|
that is already the default; another unused one has been removed.
|
|
|
|
* A CI job that use clang-format to check coding style issues in new
|
|
code has been added.
|
|
|
|
* The reviewing guidelines document now explicitly encourages people
|
|
to give positive reviews and how.
|
|
|
|
* Test script linter has been updated to catch an attempt to use
|
|
one-shot export construct "VAR=VAL func" for shell functions (which
|
|
does not work for some shells) better.
|
|
|
|
* Some project conventions have been added to CodingGuidelines.
|
|
|
|
* In the refs subsystem, implicit reliance of the_repository has been
|
|
eliminated; the repository associated with the ref store object is
|
|
used instead.
|
|
|
|
* Various tests in reftable library have been rewritten using the unit test
|
|
framework.
|
|
|
|
* A test that fails on an unusually slow machine was found, and made
|
|
less likely to cause trouble by lengthening the expiry value it
|
|
uses.
|
|
|
|
* An existing test of hashmap API has been rewritten with the
|
|
unit-test framework.
|
|
|
|
* A policy document that describes platform support levels and
|
|
expectation on platform stakeholders has been introduced.
|
|
|
|
* The refs API has been taught to give symref target information to
|
|
the users of ref iterators, allowing for-each-ref and friends to
|
|
avoid an extra ref_resolve_* API call per a symbolic ref.
|
|
|
|
* Unit-test framework has learned a simple control structure to allow
|
|
embedding test statements in-line instead of having to create a new
|
|
function to contain them.
|
|
|
|
* Incremental updates of multi-pack index files is getting worked on.
|
|
|
|
* Use of API functions that implicitly depend on the_repository
|
|
object in the config subsystem has been rewritten to pass a
|
|
repository object through the callchain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.46
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* "git add -p" by users with diff.suppressBlankEmpty set to true
|
|
failed to parse the patch that represents an unmodified empty line
|
|
with an empty line (not a line with a single space on it), which
|
|
has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout --ours" (no other arguments) complained that the
|
|
option is incompatible with branch switching, which is technically
|
|
correct, but found confusing by some users. It now says that the
|
|
user needs to give pathspec to specify what paths to checkout.
|
|
|
|
* It has been documented that we avoid "VAR=VAL shell_func" and why.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase --help" referred to "offset" (the difference between
|
|
the location a change was taken from and the change gets replaced)
|
|
incorrectly and called it "fuzz", which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git notes add -m '' --allow-empty" and friends that take prepared
|
|
data to create notes should not invoke an editor, but it started
|
|
doing so since Git 2.42, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* An expensive operation to prepare tracing was done in re-encoding
|
|
code path even when the tracing was not requested, which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
|
|
* More leakfixes.
|
|
(merge f30bfafcd4 ps/leakfixes-part-3 later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The credential helper to talk to OSX keychain sometimes sent
|
|
garbage bytes after the username, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge b201316835 jk/osxkeychain-username-is-nul-terminated later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* A recent update broke "git ls-remote" used outside a repository,
|
|
which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 9e89dcb66a ps/ls-remote-out-of-repo-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The patch parser in 'git apply' has been a bit more lenient against
|
|
unexpected mode bits, like 100664, recorded on extended header lines.
|
|
(merge e95d515141 jk/apply-patch-mode-check-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git config --value=foo --fixed-value section.key newvalue" barfed
|
|
when the existing value in the configuration file used the
|
|
valueless true syntax, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 615d2de3b4 tb/config-fixed-value-with-valueless-true later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The patch parser in "git patch-id" has been tightened to avoid
|
|
getting confused by lines that look like a patch header in the log
|
|
message.
|
|
(merge a6e9429f72 jc/patch-id later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git reflog expire" failed to honor annotated tags when computing
|
|
reachable commits.
|
|
(merge 5133ead528 jc/reflog-expire-lookup-commit-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* A flakey test and incorrect calls to strtoX() functions have been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
(merge ec60bb9fc4 kl/test-fixes later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Follow-up on 2.45.1 regression fix.
|
|
(merge ee0be850b0 jc/safe-directory later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-list ... | git diff-tree -p --remerge-diff --stdin" should
|
|
behave more or less like "git log -p --remerge-diff" but instead it
|
|
crashed, forgetting to prepare a temporary object store needed.
|
|
(merge a77554ea09 xx/diff-tree-remerge-diff-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git bundle unbundle" outside a repository triggered a BUG()
|
|
unnecessarily, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 96a9a3e42e ps/bundle-outside-repo-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
|
|
(merge bb0498b1bb jc/how-to-maintain-updates later to maint).
|
|
(merge 7c7516b8db jc/jl-git-no-advice-fix later to maint).
