Git 2.12 Release Notes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Backward compatibility notes.
|
|
|
|
* Use of an empty string that is used for 'everything matches' is
|
|
still warned and Git asks users to use a more explicit '.' for that
|
|
instead. The hope is that existing users will not mind this
|
|
change, and eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error,
|
|
upgrading the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature. That
|
|
is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming release (yet).
|
|
|
|
* The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..."
|
|
has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in the
|
|
upcoming release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.11
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
Fixes since v2.10
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.9 in the maintenance
|
|
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
|
|
notes for details).
|
|
|
|
* We often decide if a session is interactive by checking if the
|
|
standard I/O streams are connected to a TTY, but isatty() that
|
|
comes with Windows incorrectly returned true if it is used on NUL
|
|
(i.e. an equivalent to /dev/null). This has been fixed.
|
|
(merge cbb3f3c9b1 js/mingw-isatty later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git svn" did not work well with path components that are "0", and
|
|
some configuration variable it uses were not documented.
|
|
(merge ea9a93dcc2 ew/svn-fixes later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-parse --symbolic" failed with a more recent notation like
|
|
"HEAD^-1" and "HEAD^!".
|
|
(merge a2e7b04c44 jk/rev-parse-symbolic-parents-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used
|
|
to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a
|
|
submodule directory there, which has been fixed..
|
|
(merge 5423d2e700 dt/empty-submodule-in-merge later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the
|
|
superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed
|
|
out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small
|
|
project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable
|
|
number of refs.
|
|
(merge 250ab24ab3 hv/submodule-not-yet-pushed-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git push --dry-run --recurse-submodule=on-demand" wasn't
|
|
"--dry-run" in the submodules.
|
|
(merge 0301c821c5 bw/push-dry-run later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The output from "git worktree list" was made in readdir() order,
|
|
and was unstable.
|
|
(merge 4df1d4d466 nd/worktree-list-fixup later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode configuration variable did not apply
|
|
to built-in tools, but now it does.
|
|
(merge 2967284456 da/mergetool-trust-exit-code later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git p4" LFS support was broken when LFS stores an empty blob.
|
|
(merge d5eb3cf5e7 ls/p4-empty-file-on-lfs later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
|
|
(merge fa6ca11105 nd/qsort-in-merge-recursive later to maint).
|
|
(merge fa3142c919 ak/lazy-prereq-mktemp later to maint).
