Git v2.3.2 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.3.1
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* "update-index --refresh" used to leak when an entry cannot be
|
|
refreshed for whatever reason.
|
|
|
|
* "git fast-import" used to crash when it could not close and
|
|
conclude the resulting packfile cleanly.
|
|
|
|
* "git blame" died, trying to free an uninitialized piece of memory.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge-file" did not work correctly in a subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule add" failed to squash "path/to/././submodule" to
|
|
"path/to/submodule".
|
|
|
|
* In v2.2.0, we broke "git prune" that runs in a repository that
|
|
borrows from an alternate object store.
|
|
|
|
* Certain older vintages of cURL give irregular output from
|
|
"curl-config --vernum", which confused our build system.
|
|
|
|
* An earlier workaround to squelch unhelpful deprecation warnings
|
|
from the complier on Mac OSX unnecessarily set minimum required
|
|
version of the OS, which the user might want to raise (or lower)
|
|
for other reasons.
|
|
|
|
* Longstanding configuration variable naming rules has been added to
|
|
the documentation.
|
|
|
|
* The credential helper for Windows (in contrib/) used to mishandle
|
|
a user name with an at-sign in it.
|
|
|
|
* Older GnuPG implementations may not correctly import the keyring
|
|
material we prepare for the tests to use.
|
|
|
|
* Clarify in the documentation that "remote.<nick>.pushURL" and
|
|
"remote.<nick>.URL" are there to name the same repository accessed
|
|
via different transports, not two separate repositories.
|
|
|
|
* The pack bitmap support did not build with older versions of GCC.
|
|
|
|
* Reading configuration from a blob object, when it ends with a lone
|
|
CR, use to confuse the configuration parser.
|
|
|
|
* We didn't format an integer that wouldn't fit in "int" but in
|
|
"uintmax_t" correctly.
|
|
|
|
* "git push --signed" gave an incorrectly worded error message when
|
|
the other side did not support the capability.
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to "list"
|
|
command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD.
|
|
|
|
* The insn sheet "git rebase -i" creates did not fully honor
|
|
core.abbrev settings.
|
|
|
|
* The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after
|
|
running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it
|
|
is not run as root, we used "can we write into the / directory?" as
|
|
a cheap substitute, but on some platforms that is not a good
|
|
heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to
|
|
check what they really require.
|
|
|
|
* The configuration variable 'mailinfo.scissors' was hard to
|
|
discover in the documentation.
|
|
|
|
* Correct a breakage to git-svn around v2.2 era that triggers
|
|
premature closing of FileHandle.
|
|
|
|
* Even though we officially haven't dropped Perl 5.8 support, the
|
|
Getopt::Long package that came with it does not support "--no-"
|
|
prefix to negate a boolean option; manually add support to help
|
|
people with older Getopt::Long package.
|
|
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
