It + has been optimized by noticing what need not to be collected + (e.g. there is no need to collect the log messages when showing + only the number of changes). + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v2.7 +---------------- + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.7 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' +notes for details). + + * An earlier change in 2.5.x-era broke users' hooks and aliases by + exporting GIT_WORK_TREE to point at the root of the working tree, + interfering when they tried to use a different working tree without + setting GIT_WORK_TREE environment themselves. + (merge df1e6ea nd/stop-setenv-work-tree later to maint). + + * The "exclude_list" structure has the usual "alloc, nr" pair of + fields to be used by ALLOC_GROW(), but clear_exclude_list() forgot + to reset 'alloc' to 0 when it cleared 'nr' to discard the managed + array. + (merge 2653a8c nd/dir-exclude-cleanup later to maint). + + * Paths that have been told the index about with "add -N" are not + quite yet in the index, but a few commands behaved as if they + already are in a harmful way. + (merge 4d55200 nd/ita-cleanup later to maint). + + * "git send-email" was confused by escaped quotes stored in the alias + files saved by "mutt", which has been corrected. + (merge 2c510f2 ew/send-email-mutt-alias-fix later to maint). + + * A few unportable C construct have been spotted by clang compiler + and have been fixed. + (merge a0df2e5 jk/clang-pedantic later to maint). + + * The documentation has been updated to hint the connection between + the '--signoff' option and DCO. + (merge b2c150d dw/signoff-doc later to maint). + + * "git reflog" incorrectly assumed that all objects that used to be + at the tip of a ref must be commits, which caused it to segfault. + (merge aecad37 dk/reflog-walk-with-non-commit later to maint). + + * The ignore mechanism saw a few regressions around untracked file + listing and sparse checkout selection areas in 2.7.0; the change + that is responsible for the regression has been reverted. + (merge 8c72236 nd/exclusion-regression-fix later to maint). + + * Some codepaths used fopen(3) when opening a fixed path in $GIT_DIR + (e.g. COMMIT_EDITMSG) that is meant to be left after the command is + done. This however did not work well if the repository is set to + be shared with core.sharedRepository and the umask of the previous + user is tighter. They have been made to work better by calling + unlink(2) and retrying after fopen(3) fails with EPERM. + (merge ea56518 js/fopen-harder later to maint). + + * Asking gitweb for a nonexistent commit left a warning in the server + log. + + Somebody may want to follow this up with an additional test, perhaps? + IIRC, we do test that no Perl warnings are given to the server log, + so this should have been caught if our test coverage were good. + (merge a9eb90a ho/gitweb-squelch-undef-warning later to maint). + + * "git rebase", unlike all other callers of "gc --auto", did not + ignore the exit code from "gc --auto". + (merge 8c24f5b jk/ok-to-fail-gc-auto-in-rebase later to maint). + + * Many codepaths that run "gc --auto" before exiting kept packfiles + mapped and left the file descriptors to them open, which was not + friendly to systems that cannot remove files that are open. They + now close the packs before doing so. + (merge d562102 js/close-packs-before-gc later to maint). + + * A recent optimization to filter-branch in v2.7.0 introduced a + regression when --prune-empty filter is used, which has been + corrected. + (merge 1dc413e jk/filter-branch-no-index later to maint). + + * The description for SANITY prerequisite the test suite uses has + been clarified both in the comment and in the implementation. + (merge 719c3da jk/sanity later to maint). + + * "git tag" started listing a tag "foo" as "tags/foo" when a branch + named "foo" exists in the same repository; remove this unnecessary + disambiguation, which is a regression introduced in v2.7.0. + (merge 0571979 jk/list-tag-2.7-regression later to maint). + + * The way "git svn" uses auth parameter was broken by Subversion + 1.9.0 and later. + (merge 0b66415 ew/svn-1.9.0-auth later to maint). + + * Other minor clean-ups and documentation updates + (merge 99487cf ss/user-manual later to maint). + (merge e914ef0 ew/for-each-ref-doc later to maint). + (merge 36fc7d8 sg/t6050-failing-editor-test-fix later to maint). + (merge 60253a6 ss/clone-depth-single-doc later to maint). |
