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. + + * Update tests to pass under GETTEXT_POISON (a mechanism to ensure + that output strings that should not be translated are not + translated by mistake), and tell TravisCI to run them. + + * Setting "log.decorate=false" in the configuration file did not take + effect in v2.13, which has been corrected. + + * An earlier update to test 7400 needed to be skipped on CYGWIN. + + * 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. + + * "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. + + * The codepath in "git am" that is used when running "git rebase" + leaked memory held for the log message of the commits being rebased. + + * "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. + + * Clarify documentation for include.path and includeIf..path + configuration variables. + + * 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) + + * A few http:// links that are redirected to https:// in the + documentation have been updated to https:// links. + + * 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. + + * Fix memory leaks pointed out by Coverity (and people). + + * The receive-pack program now makes sure that the push certificate + records the same set of push options used for pushing. + + * "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 shell completion script (in contrib/) learned "git stash" has + a new "push" subcommand. + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. diff --git a/RelNotes b/RelNotes index 125bf78f3b..52c8e104fa 120000 --- a/RelNotes +++ b/RelNotes @@ -1 +1 @@ -Documentation/RelNotes/2.13.0.txt \ No newline at end of file +Documentation/RelNotes/2.13.1.txt \ No newline at end of file
