Git v2.39 Release Notes
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
* "git grep" learned to expand the sparse-index more lazily and on
|
|
demand in a sparse checkout.
|
|
|
|
* By default, use of fsmonitor on a repository on networked
|
|
filesystem is disabled. Add knobs to make it workable on macOS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* With a bit of header twiddling, use the native regexp library on
|
|
macOS instead of the compat/ one.
|
|
|
|
* Prepare for GNU [ef]grep that throw warning of their uses.
|
|
|
|
* Sources related to fuzz testing have been moved down to their own
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
* Most credential helpers ignored unknown entries in a credential
|
|
description, but a few died upon seeing them. The latter were
|
|
taught to ignore them, too
|
|
|
|
* "scalar unregister" in a repository that is already been
|
|
unregistered reported an error.
|
|
|
|
* Remove error detection from a function that fetches from promisor
|
|
remotes, and make it die when such a fetch fails to bring all the
|
|
requested objects, to give an early failure to various operations.
|
|
|
|
* Update CodingGuidelines to clarify what features to use and avoid
|
|
in C99.
|
|
(merge 438c2f859b ab/coding-guidelines-c99 later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.38
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* The codepath that reads from the index v4 had unaligned memory
|
|
accesses, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 4a6ed30f96 vd/fix-unaligned-read-index-v4 later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Fix messages incorrectly marked for translation.
|
|
(merge 02cb8b9ee3 ah/fsmonitor-daemon-usage-non-l10n later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git fsck" failed to release contents of tree objects already used
|
|
from the memory, which has been fixed.
|
|
(merge 51b27747e5 jk/fsck-on-diet later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" did not like to see the "--bare" and the "--origin"
|
|
options used together without a good reason.
|
|
(merge 3b910d6e29 jk/clone-allow-bare-and-o-together later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git remote rename" failed to rename a remote without fetch
|
|
refspec, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 5a97b38109 jk/remote-rename-without-fetch-refspec later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Documentation on various Boolean GIT_* environment variables have
|
|
been clarified.
|
|
(merge 819fb68222 jc/environ-docs later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to a commit
|
|
itself, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 3e367a5f2f ja/rebase-i-avoid-amending-self later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git multi-pack-index repack/expire" used to repack unreachable
|
|
cruft into a new pack, which have been corrected.
|
|
(merge b62ad5681f tb/midx-repack-ignore-cruft-packs later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* In read-only repositories, "git merge-tree" tried to come up with a
|
|
merge result tree object, which it failed (which is not wrong) and
|
|
led to a segfault (which is bad), which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 92481d1b26 js/merge-ort-in-read-only-repo later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Force C locale while running tests around httpd to make sure we can
|
|
find expected error messages in the log.
|
|
(merge 7a2d8ea47e rs/test-httpd-in-C-locale later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Fix a logic in "mailinfo -b" that miscomputed the length of a
|
|
substring, which lead to an out-of-bounds access.
|
|
(merge 3ef1494685 pw/mailinfo-b-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The codepath to sign learned to report errors when it fails to read
|
|
from "ssh-keygen".
|
|
(merge 36fb0d07d8 pw/ssh-sign-report-errors later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Code clean-up that results in plugging a leak.
|
|
(merge 246526d019 rs/bisect-start-leakfix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description" resulted in failure,
|
|
which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge e288b3de35 jc/branch-description-unset later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The code to clean temporary object directories (used for
|
|
quarantine) tried to remove them inside its signal handler, which
|
|
was a no-no.
|
|
(merge 22613b25ec jc/tmp-objdir later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Update comment in the Makefile about the RUNTIME_PREFIX config knob.
|
|
(merge ebb6c16607 dd/document-runtime-prefix-better later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Clarify that "the sentence after <area>: prefix does not begin with
|
|
a capital letter" rule applies only to the commit title.
|
|
(merge 3991bb73dd jc/use-of-uc-in-log-messages later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git branch --edit-description" on an unborh branch misleadingly
|
|
said that no such branch exists, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge bcfc82bd48 rj/branch-edit-desc-unborn later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Work around older clang that warns against C99 zero initialization
|
|
syntax for struct.
|
|
(merge 54795d37d9 jh/struct-zero-init-with-older-clang later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
|
|
