This gives a compiler an excuse to declare that tree will never be NULL and apply a wrong optimization. Avoid it. + * The helper used to iterate over loose object directories to prune + stale objects did not closedir() immediately when it is done with a + directory--a callback such as the one used for "git prune" may want + to do rmdir(), but it would fail on open directory on platforms + such as WinXP. + + * "git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths outside + the client spec as empty commits. It has been corrected to ignore + them instead, with a new configuration git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a + backward compatibility knob. + + * The exit code of git-fsck did not reflect some types of errors + found in packed objects, which has been corrected. + + * The completion script (in contrib/) used to list "git column" + (which is not an end-user facing command) as one of the choices + + * Improve error reporting when SMTP TLS fails. + + * When getpwuid() on the system returned NULL (e.g. the user is not + in the /etc/passwd file or other uid-to-name mappings), the + codepath to find who the user is to record it in the reflog barfed + and died. Loosen the check in this codepath, which already accepts + questionable ident string (e.g. host part of the e-mail address is + obviously bogus), and in general when we operate fmt_ident() function + in non-strict mode. + + * "git symbolic-ref" forgot to report a failure with its exit status. + + * History traversal with "git log --source" that starts with an + annotated tag failed to report the tag as "source", due to an + old regression in the command line parser back in v2.2 days. + Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. |
