Git 2.34 Release Notes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Updates since Git 2.33
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* Pathname expansion (like "~username/") learned a way to specify a
|
|
location relative to Git installation (e.g. its $sharedir which is
|
|
$(prefix)/share), with "%(prefix)".
|
|
|
|
* Use `ort` instead of `recursive` as the default merge strategy.
|
|
|
|
* The userdiff pattern for "java" language has been updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* "git bisect" spawned "git show-branch" only to pretty-print the
|
|
title of the commit after checking out the next version to be
|
|
tested; this has been rewritten in C.
|
|
|
|
* "git add" can work better with the sparse index.
|
|
|
|
* Support for ancient versions of cURL library (pre 7.19.4) has been
|
|
dropped.
|
|
|
|
* A handful of tests that assumed implementation details of files
|
|
backend for refs have been cleaned up.
|
|
|
|
* trace2 logs learned to show parent process name to see in what
|
|
context Git was invoked.
|
|
|
|
* Loading of ref tips to prepare for common ancestry negotiation in
|
|
"git fetch-pack" has been optimized by taking advantage of the
|
|
commit graph when available.
|
|
|
|
* Remind developers that the userdiff patterns should be kept simple
|
|
and permissive, assuming that the contents they apply are always
|
|
syntactically correct.
|
|
|
|
* The current implementation of GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is broken in
|
|
that checking for the lack of a prerequisite would not work. Avoid
|
|
the use of "if ! test_have_prereq X" in a test script.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.33
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* Input validation of "git pack-objects --stdin-packs" has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
(merge 561fa03529 ab/pack-stdin-packs-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Bugfix for common ancestor negotiation recently introduced in "git
|
|
push" code path.
|
|
(merge 82823118b9 jt/push-negotiation-fixes later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git pull" had various corner cases that were not well thought out
|
|
around its --rebase backend, e.g. "git pull --ff-only" did not stop
|
|
but went ahead and rebased when the history on other side is not a
|
|
descendant of our history. The series tries to fix them up.
|
|
(merge 6f843a3355 en/pull-conflicting-options later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git apply" miscounted the bytes and failed to read to the end of
|
|
binary hunks.
|
|
(merge 46d723ce57 jk/apply-binary-hunk-parsing-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git range-diff" code clean-up.
|
|
(merge c4d5907324 jk/range-diff-fixes later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
|
|
(merge 1d9c8daef8 ab/bundle-doc later to maint).
|
|
(merge 81483fe613 en/merge-strategy-docs later to maint).
|
|
(merge 626beebdf8 js/log-protocol-version later to maint).
|
|
(merge 00e302da76 cb/builtin-merge-format-string-fix later to maint).
|
