Git 2.24 Release Notes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.23
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Backward compatibility note
|
|
|
|
* (no entry yet so far)
|
|
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* The command line parser learned "--end-of-options" notation; the
|
|
standard convention for scripters to have hardcoded set of options
|
|
first on the command line, and force the command to treat end-user
|
|
input as non-options, has been to use "--" as the delimiter, but
|
|
that would not work for commands that use "--" as a delimiter
|
|
between revs and pathspec.
|
|
|
|
* A mechanism to affect the default setting for a (related) group of
|
|
configuration variables is introduced.
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch" learned "--set-upstream" option to help those who first
|
|
clone from their private fork they intend to push to, add the true
|
|
upstream via "git remote add" and then "git fetch" from it.
|
|
|
|
* Device-tree files learned their own userdiff patterns.
|
|
(merge 3c81760bc6 sb/userdiff-dts later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* The code to write commit-graph over given commit object names has
|
|
been made a bit more robust.
|
|
|
|
* The first line of verbose output from each test piece now carries
|
|
the test name and number to help scanning with eyeballs.
|
|
|
|
* Further clean-up of the initialization code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.23
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* "git grep --recurse-submodules" that looks at the working tree
|
|
files looked at the contents in the index in submodules, instead of
|
|
files in the working tree.
|
|
(merge 6a289d45c0 mt/grep-submodules-working-tree later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Codepaths to walk tree objects have been audited for integer
|
|
overflows and hardened.
|
|
(merge 5aa02f9868 jk/tree-walk-overflow later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git pack-refs" can lose refs that are created while running, which
|
|
is getting corrected.
|
|
(merge a613d4f817 sc/pack-refs-deletion-racefix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout" and "git restore" to re-populate the index from a
|
|
tree-ish (typically HEAD) did not work correctly for a path that
|
|
was removed and then added again with the intent-to-add bit, when
|
|
the corresponding working tree file was empty. This has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Compilation fix.
|
|
(merge 70597e8386 rs/nedalloc-fixlets later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git gui" learned to call the clean-up procedure before exiting.
|
|
(merge 0d88f3d2c5 py/git-gui-do-quit later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* We promoted the "indent heuristics" that decides where to split
|
|
diff hunks from experimental to the default a few years ago, but
|
|
some stale documentation still marked it as experimental, which has
|
|
been corrected.
|
|
(merge 64e5e1fba1 sg/diff-indent-heuristic-non-experimental later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Fix a mismerge that happened in 2.22 timeframe.
|
|
(merge acb7da05ac en/checkout-mismerge-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git archive" recorded incorrect length in extended pax header in
|
|
some corner cases, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 71d41ff651 rs/pax-extended-header-length-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* On-demand object fetching in lazy clone incorrectly tried to fetch
|
|
commits from submodule projects, while still working in the
|
|
superproject, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge a63694f523 jt/diff-lazy-fetch-submodule-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Prepare get_short_oid() codepath to be thread-safe.
|
|
(merge 7cfcb16b0e rs/sort-oid-array-thread-safe later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "for-each-ref" and friends that show refs did not protect themselves
|
|
against ancient tags that did not record tagger names when asked to
|
|
show "%(taggername)", which have been corrected.
|
|
(merge 8b3f33ef11 mp/for-each-ref-missing-name-or-email later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The "git am" based backend of "git rebase" ignored the result of
|
|
updating ".gitattributes" done in one step when replaying
|
|
subsequent steps.
|
|
(merge 2c65d90f75 bc/reread-attributes-during-rebase later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
|
|
(merge d1387d3895 en/fast-import-merge-doc later to maint).
|
|
(merge 1c24a54ea4 bm/repository-layout-typofix later to maint).
|
|
