Git 2.30 Release Notes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.29
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* Userdiff for PHP update.
|
|
|
|
* Userdiff for Rust update.
|
|
|
|
* Userdiff for CSS update.
|
|
|
|
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git
|
|
stash show" takes the options "git diff" takes.
|
|
|
|
* "git worktree list" now shows if each worktree is locked. This
|
|
possibly may open us to show other kinds of states in the future.
|
|
|
|
* "git maintenance", an extended big brother of "git gc", continues
|
|
to evolve.
|
|
|
|
* "git push --force-with-lease[=<ref>]" can easily be misused to lose
|
|
commits unless the user takes good care of their own "git fetch".
|
|
A new option "--force-if-includes" attempts to ensure that what is
|
|
being force-pushed was created after examining the commit at the
|
|
tip of the remote ref that is about to be force-replaced.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone" learned clone.defaultremotename configuration variable
|
|
to customize what nickname to use to call the remote the repository
|
|
was cloned from.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout" learned to use checkout.guess configuration variable
|
|
and enable/disable its "--[no-]guess" option accordingly.
|
|
|
|
* "git resurrect" script (in contrib/) learned that the object names
|
|
may be longer than 40-hex depending on the hash function in use.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff A...B" learned "git diff --merge-base A B", which is a
|
|
longer short-hand to say the same thing.
|
|
|
|
* A sample 'push-to-checkout' hook, that performs the same as
|
|
what the built-in default action does, has been added.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff" family of commands learned the "-I<regex>" option to
|
|
ignore hunks whose changed lines all match the given pattern.
|
|
|
|
* The userdiff pattern learned to identify the function definition in
|
|
POSIX shells and bash.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout-index" did not consistently signal an error with its
|
|
exit status, but now it does.
|
|
|
|
* A commit and tag object may have CR at the end of each and
|
|
every line (you can create such an object with hash-object or
|
|
using --cleanup=verbatim to decline the default clean-up
|
|
action), but it would make it impossible to have a blank line
|
|
to separate the title from the body of the message. We are now
|
|
more lenient and accept a line with lone CR on it as a blank line,
|
|
too.
|
|
|
|
* Exit codes from "git remote add" etc. were not usable by scripted
|
|
callers, but now they are.
|
|
|
|
* Zsh autocompletion (in contrib/) update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* Use "git archive" more to produce the release tarball.
|
|
|
|
* GitHub Actions automated test improvement to skip tests on a tree
|
|
identical to what has already been tested.
|
|
|
|
* Test-coverage for running commit-graph task "git maintenance" has
|
|
been extended.
|
|
|
|
* Our test scripts can be told to run only individual pieces while
|
|
skipping others with the "--run=..." option; they were taught to
|
|
take a substring of test title, in addition to numbers, to name the
|
|
test pieces to run.
|
|
|
|
* Adjust tests so that they won't scream when the default initial
|
|
branch name is changed to 'main'.
|
|
|
|
* Rewriting "git bisect" in C continues.
|
|
|
|
* More preliminary tests have been added to document desired outcome
|
|
of various "directory rename" situations.
|
|
|
|
* Micro clean-up of a couple of test scripts.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff" and other commands that share the same machinery to
|
|
compare with working tree files have been taught to take advantage
|
|
of the fsmonitor data when available.
|
|
|
|
* The code to detect premature EOF in the sideband demultiplexer has
|
|
been cleaned up.
|
|
|
|
* Test scripts are being prepared to transition of the default branch
|
|
name to 'main'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.29
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* In 2.29, "--committer-date-is-author-date" option of "rebase" and
|
|
"am" subcommands lost the e-mail address by mistake, which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
(merge 5f35edd9d7 jk/committer-date-is-author-date-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout -p A...B [-- <path>]" did not work, even though the
|
|
same command without "-p" correctly used the merge-base between
|
|
commits A and B.
|
|
(merge 35166b1fb5 dl/checkout-p-merge-base later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The side-band status report can be sent at the same time as the
|
|
primary payload multiplexed, but the demultiplexer on the receiving
|
|
end incorrectly split a single status report into two, which has
|
|
been corrected.
|
|
(merge 712b0377db js/avoid-split-sideband-message later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git fast-import" wasted a lot of memory when many marks were in use.
|
|
(merge 3f018ec716 jk/fast-import-marks-alloc-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* A test helper "test_cmp A B" was taught to diagnose missing files A
|
|
or B as a bug in test, but some tests legitimately wanted to notice
|
|
a failure to even create file B as an error, in addition to leaving
|
|
the expected result in it, and were misdiagnosed as a bug. This
|
|
has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 262d5ad5a5 es/test-cmp-typocatcher later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* When "git commit-graph" detects the same commit recorded more than
|
|
once while it is merging the layers, it used to die. The code now
|
|
ignores all but one of them and continues.
|
|
(merge 85102ac71b ds/commit-graph-merging-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The meaning of a Signed-off-by trailer can vary from project to
|
|
project; this and also what it means to this project has been
|
|
clarified in the documentation.
|
|
(merge 3abd4a67d9 bk/sob-dco later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git credential' didn't honor the core.askPass configuration
|
|
variable (among other things), which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 567ad2c0f9 tk/credential-config later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Dev support to catch a tentative definition of a variable in our C
|
|
code as an error.
|
|
(merge 5539183622 jk/no-common later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" did not correctly pass --gpg-sign
|
|
command line option to underlying "git merge" when replaying a merge
|
|
using non-default merge strategy or when replaying an octopus merge
|
|
(because replaying a two-head merge with the default strategy was
|
|
done in a separate codepath, the problem did not trigger for most
|
|
users), which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 43ad4f2eca sc/sequencer-gpg-octopus later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git apply -R" did not handle patches that touch the same path
|
|
twice correctly, which has been corrected. This is most relevant
|
|
in a patch that changes a path from a regular file to a symbolic
|
|
link (and vice versa).
|
|
(merge b0f266de11 jt/apply-reverse-twice later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* A recent oid->hash conversion missed one spot, breaking "git svn".
|
|
(merge 03bb366de4 bc/svn-hash-oid-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
|
|
(merge 3e0a5dc9af cc/doc-filter-branch-typofix later to maint).
|
|
(merge 32c83afc2c cw/ci-ghwf-check-ws-errors later to maint).
|
|
(merge 5eb2ed691b rs/tighten-callers-of-deref-tag later to maint).
|
|
(merge 6db29ab213 jk/fast-import-marks-cleanup later to maint).
|
