Git v2.6.4 Release Notes
|
|
|
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.6.3
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The "configure" script did not test for -lpthread correctly, which
|
|
|
|
|
upset some linkers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Add support for talking http/https over socks proxy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Portability fix for Windows, which may rewrite $SHELL variable using
|
|
|
|
|
non-POSIX paths.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* We now consistently allow all hooks to ignore their standard input,
|
|
|
|
|
rather than having git complain of SIGPIPE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fix shell quoting in contrib script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Test portability fix for a topic in v2.6.1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Allow tilde-expansion in some http config variables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Give a useful special case "diff/show --word-diff-regex=." as an
|
|
|
|
|
example in the documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Fix for a corner case in filter-branch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Make git-p4 work on a detached head.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Documentation clarification for "check-ignore" without "--verbose".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Just like the working tree is cleaned up when the user cancelled
|
|
|
|
|
submission in P4Submit.applyCommit(), clean up the mess if "p4
|
|
|
|
|
submit" fails.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Having a leftover .idx file without corresponding .pack file in
|
|
|
|
|
the repository hurts performance; "git gc" learned to prune them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* There was no way to defeat a configured rebase.autostash variable
|
|
|
|
|
from the command line, as "git rebase --no-autostash" was missing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Allow "git interpret-trailers" to run outside of a Git repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Produce correct "dirty" marker for shell prompts, even when we
|
|
|
|
|
are on an orphan or an unborn branch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Some corner cases have been fixed in string-matching done in "git
|
|
|
|
|
status".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
|
|
|
|
|
clean-ups.
