Also the phrasing used for signature and key validity is + adjusted to align with that used by OpenPGP. + + * On Windows, .git and optionally any files whose name starts with a + dot are now marked as hidden, with a core.hideDotFiles knob to + customize this behaviour. + + * Portability enhancement for "rebase -i" to help platforms whose + shell does not like "for i in <empty>" (which is not POSIX-kosher). + + * "git fsck" learned to catch NUL byte in a commit object as + potential error and warn. + + * CI test was taught to build documentation pages. + + * Many 'linkgit:<git documentation page>' references were broken, + which are all fixed with this. + +Also contains other minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
