Git v2.40 Release Notes
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* "merge-tree" learns a new `--merge-base` option.
|
|
|
|
* "git jump" (in contrib/) learned to present the "quickfix list" to
|
|
its standard output (instead of letting it consumed by the editor
|
|
it invokes), and learned to also drive emacs/emacsclient.
|
|
|
|
* "git var UNKNOWN_VARIABLE" and "git var VARIABLE" with the variable
|
|
given an empty value used to behave identically. Now the latter
|
|
just gives an empty output, while the former still gives an error
|
|
message.
|
|
|
|
* Introduce a case insensitive mode to the Bash completion helpers.
|
|
|
|
* The advice message given by "git status" when it takes long time to
|
|
enumerate untracked paths has been updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* `git bisect` becomes a builtin.
|
|
|
|
* The pack-bitmap machinery is taught to log the paths of redundant
|
|
bitmap(s) to trace2 instead of stderr.
|
|
|
|
* Use the SHA1DC implementation on macOS, just like other platforms,
|
|
by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.39
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* Various leak fixes.
|
|
(merge ac95f5d36a ab/various-leak-fixes later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Fix a bug where `pack-objects` would not respect multiple `--filter`
|
|
arguments when invoked directly.
|
|
(merge d4f7036887 rs/multi-filter-args later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Make fsmonitor more robust to avoid the flakiness seen in t7527.
|
|
(merge 6692d45477 jh/t7527-unflake-by-forcing-cookie later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Stop using deprecated macOS API in fsmonitor.
|
|
(merge b0226007f0 jh/fsmonitor-darwin-modernize later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Redefining system functions for a few functions did not follow our
|
|
usual "implement git_foo() and #define foo(args) git_foo(args)"
|
|
pattern, which has broken build for some folks.
|
|
(merge e1a95b78d8 jk/avoid-redef-system-functions-2.30 later to maint).
|
|
(merge 395bec6b39 jk/avoid-redef-system-functions later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The way the diff machinery prepares the options array for the
|
|
parse_options API has been refactored to avoid resource leaks.
|
|
(merge 189e97bc4b rs/diff-parseopts later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Correct pthread API usage.
|
|
(merge 786e67611d sx/pthread-error-check-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The code to auto-correct a misspelt subcommand unnecessarily called
|
|
into git_default_config() from the early config codepath, which was
|
|
a no-no. This has bee corrected.
|
|
(merge 0918d08887 sg/help-autocorrect-config-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git http-fetch" (which is rarely used) forgot to identify itself
|
|
in the trace2 output.
|
|
(merge 7abb43cbc8 jt/http-fetch-trace2-report-name later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The output from "git diff --stat" on an unmerged path lost the
|
|
terminating LF in Git 2.39, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 209d9cb011 pg/diff-stat-unmerged-regression-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
|
