Git 2.38.2 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
This is to backport various fixes accumulated during the development
|
|
towards Git 2.39, the next feature release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.38.1
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* Update CodingGuidelines to clarify what features to use and avoid
|
|
in C99.
|
|
|
|
* The codepath that reads from the index v4 had unaligned memory
|
|
accesses, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git remote rename" failed to rename a remote without fetch
|
|
refspec, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" did not like to see the "--bare" and the "--origin"
|
|
options used together without a good reason.
|
|
|
|
* Fix messages incorrectly marked for translation.
|
|
|
|
* "git fsck" failed to release contents of tree objects already used
|
|
from the memory, which has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to a commit
|
|
itself, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* Force C locale while running tests around httpd to make sure we can
|
|
find expected error messages in the log.
|
|
|
|
* Fix a logic in "mailinfo -b" that miscomputed the length of a
|
|
substring, which lead to an out-of-bounds access.
|
|
|
|
* The codepath to sign learned to report errors when it fails to read
|
|
from "ssh-keygen".
|
|
|
|
* "GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description" resulted in failure,
|
|
which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Documentation on various Boolean GIT_* environment variables have
|
|
been clarified.
|
|
|
|
* "git multi-pack-index repack/expire" used to repack unreachable
|
|
cruft into a new pack, which have been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* The code to clean temporary object directories (used for
|
|
quarantine) tried to remove them inside its signal handler, which
|
|
was a no-no.
|
|
|
|
* "git branch --edit-description" on an unborh branch misleadingly
|
|
said that no such branch exists, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* GitHub CI settings have been adjusted to recent reality, merging
|
|
and cherry-picking necessary topics that have been prepared for Git
|
|
2.39.
|
|
|
|
* `git rebase --update-refs` would delete references when all `update-ref`
|
|
commands in the sequencer were removed, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
