We now spawn "less" with its + "-I" option when it is used as the pager (which is the default). + + * We used to disable threaded "git index-pack" on platforms without + thread-safe pread(); use a different workaround for such + platforms to allow threaded "git index-pack". + + * The error reporting from "git index-pack" has been improved to + distinguish missing objects from type errors. + + * "git mailinfo" used to read beyond the end of header string while + parsing an incoming e-mail message to extract the patch. + + * On a case insensitive filesystem, merge-recursive incorrectly + deleted the file that is to be renamed to a name that is the same + except for case differences. + + * "git pack-objects" unnecessarily copied the previous contents when + extending the hashtable, even though it will populate the table + from scratch anyway. + + * "git rerere forget" did not work well when merge.conflictstyle + was set to a non-default value. + + * "git remote rm" and "git remote prune" can involve removing many + refs at once, which is not a very efficient thing to do when very + many refs exist in the packed-refs file. + + * "git log --exclude=<glob> --all | git shortlog" worked as expected, + but "git shortlog --exclude=<glob> --all", which is supposed to be + identical to the above pipeline, was not accepted at the command + line argument parser level. + + * The autostash mode of "git rebase -i" did not restore the dirty + working tree state if the user aborted the interactive rebase by + emptying the insn sheet. + + * "git show -s" (i.e. show log message only) used to incorrectly emit + an extra blank line after a merge commit. + + * "git status", even though it is a read-only operation, tries to + update the index with refreshed lstat(2) info to optimize future + accesses to the working tree opportunistically, but this could + race with a "read-write" operation that modify the index while it + is running. Detect such a race and avoid overwriting the index. + + * "git status" (and "git commit") behaved as if changes in a modified + submodule are not there if submodule.*.ignore configuration is set, + which was misleading. The configuration is only to unclutter diff + output during the course of development, and should not to hide + changes in the "status" output to cause the users forget to commit + them. + + * The mode to run tests with HTTP server tests disabled was broken. diff --git a/Documentation/git.txt b/Documentation/git.txt index b075e0bed5..3d9c6d1743 100644 --- a/Documentation/git.txt +++ b/Documentation/git.txt @@ -43,9 +43,10 @@ unreleased) version of Git, that is available from 'master' branch of the `git.git` repository.
