Git v2.2 Release Notes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.1
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* "git config --edit --global" starts from a skeletal per-user
|
|
configuration file contents, instead of a total blank, when the
|
|
user does not already have any. This immediately reduces the
|
|
need for a later "Have you forgotten setting core.user?" and we
|
|
can add more to the template as we gain more experience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, etc.
|
|
|
|
* Looking up remotes configuration in a repository with very many
|
|
remotes defined has been optimized.
|
|
|
|
* There are cases where you lock and open to write a file, close it
|
|
to show the updated contents to external processes, and then have
|
|
to update the file again while still holding the lock, but the
|
|
lockfile API lacked support for such an access pattern.
|
|
|
|
* An in-core caching layer to let us avoid reading the same
|
|
configuration files number of times has been added.
|
|
|
|
* Various code paths have been cleaned up and simplified by using
|
|
"strbuf", "starts_with()", and "skip_prefix()" APIs more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.1
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* "git log --pretty/format=" with an empty format string did not
|
|
mean the more obvious "No output whatsoever" but "Use default
|
|
format", which was counterintuitive.
|
|
(merge b9c7d6e jk/pretty-empty-format later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Implementations of "tar" that do not understand an extended pax
|
|
header would extract the contents of it in a regular file; make
|
|
sure the permission bits of this file follows the same tar.umask
|
|
configuration setting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.1 in the maintenance
|
|
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
|
|
notes for details).
