Git v2.8.2 Release Notes
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
Fixes since v2.8.1
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* The embedded args argv-array in the child process is used to build
|
||||
the command line to run pack-objects instead of using a separate
|
||||
array of strings.
|
||||
|
||||
* Bunch of tests on "git clone" has been renumbered for better
|
||||
organization.
|
||||
|
||||
* The tests that involve running httpd leaked the system-wide
|
||||
configuration in /etc/gitconfig to the tested environment.
|
||||
|
||||
* "index-pack --keep=<msg>" was broken since v2.1.0 timeframe.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git config --get-urlmatch", unlike other variants of the "git
|
||||
config --get" family, did not signal error with its exit status
|
||||
when there was no matching configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
* The "--local-env-vars" and "--resolve-git-dir" options of "git
|
||||
rev-parse" failed to work outside a repository when the command's
|
||||
option parsing was rewritten in 1.8.5 era.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fetching of history by naming a commit object name directly didn't
|
||||
work across remote-curl transport.
|
||||
|
||||
* A small memory leak in an error codepath has been plugged in xdiff
|
||||
code.
|
||||
|
||||
* strbuf_getwholeline() did not NUL-terminate the buffer on certain
|
||||
corner cases in its error codepath.
|
||||
|
||||
* The startup_info data, which records if we are working inside a
|
||||
repository (among other things), are now uniformly available to Git
|
||||
subcommand implementations, and Git avoids attempting to touch
|
||||
references when we are not in a repository.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git mergetool" did not work well with conflicts that both sides
|
||||
deleted.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git send-email" had trouble parsing alias file in mailrc format
|
||||
when lines in it had trailing whitespaces on them.
|
||||
|
||||
* When "git merge --squash" stopped due to conflict, the concluding
|
||||
"git commit" failed to read in the SQUASH_MSG that shows the log
|
||||
messages from all the squashed commits.
|
||||
|
||||
* "git merge FETCH_HEAD" dereferenced NULL pointer when merging
|
||||
nothing into an unborn history (which is arguably unusual usage,
|
||||
which perhaps was the reason why nobody noticed it).
|
||||
|
||||
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
