When these files are symbolic links, we used to read the + contents of the files pointed by them by mistake, which has been + corrected. + + * "git stash show" learned to optionally show untracked part of the + stash. + + * "git log --format='...'" learned "%(describe)" placeholder. + + * "git repack" so far has been only capable of repacking everything + under the sun into a single pack (or split by size). A cleverer + strategy to reduce the cost of repacking a repository has been + introduced. + + * The http codepath learned to let the credential layer to cache the + password used to unlock a certificate that has successfully been + used. + + * "git commit --fixup=<commit>", which was to tweak the changes made + to the contents while keeping the original log message intact, + learned "--fixup=(amend|reword):<commit>", that can be used to + tweak both the message and the contents, and only the message, + respectively. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. + + * Rename detection rework continues. + + * GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is a mechanism to skip test pieces with + prerequisites to catch broken tests that depend on the side effects + of optional pieces, but did not work at all when negative + prerequisites were involved. + (merge 27d578d904 jk/fail-prereq-testfix later to maint). + + * "git diff-index" codepath has been taught to trust fsmonitor status + to reduce number of lstat() calls. + (merge 7e5aa13d2c nk/diff-index-fsmonitor later to maint). + + * Reorganize Makefile to allow building git.o and other essential + objects without extra stuff needed only for testing. + + + +Fixes since v2.31 +----------------- + + * The fsmonitor interface read from its input without making sure + there is something to read from. This bug is new in 2.31 + timeframe. + (merge 097ea2c848 jh/fsmonitor-prework later to maint). + + * The data structure used by fsmonitor interface was not properly + duplicated during an in-core merge, leading to use-after-free etc. + (merge 4abc57848d js/fsmonitor-unpack-fix later to maint). + + * "git bisect" reimplemented more in C during 2.30 timeframe did not + take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint well.
