Git 2.31 Release Notes
|
|
|
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.30
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The "--format=%(trailers)" mechanism gets enhanced to make it
|
|
|
|
|
easier to design output for machine consumption.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When a user does not tell "git pull" to use rebase or merge, the
|
|
|
|
|
command gives a loud message telling a user to choose between
|
|
|
|
|
rebase or merge but creates a merge anyway, forcing users who would
|
|
|
|
|
want to rebase to redo the operation. Fix an early part of this
|
|
|
|
|
problem by tightening the condition to give the message---there is
|
|
|
|
|
no reason to stop or force the user to choose between rebase or
|
|
|
|
|
merge if the history fast-forwards.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* The configuration variable 'core.abbrev' can be set to 'no' to
|
|
|
|
|
force no abbreviation regardless of the hash algorithm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-parse" can be explicitly told to give output as absolute
|
|
|
|
|
or relative path with the `--path-format=(absolute|relative)` option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Bash completion (in contrib/) update to make it easier for
|
|
|
|
|
end-users to add completion for their custom "git" subcommands.

|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A 3-year old test that was not testing anything useful has been
|
|
|
|
|
corrected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-01-16 00:03:23 +01:00
|
|
|
* Retire more names with "sha1" in it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The topological walk codepath is covered by new trace2 stats.
