Scripts that relied on the + behaviour may get broken with this change. + + +Updates since v2.20 +------------------- + +UI, Workflows & Features + + * The "http.version" configuration variable can be used with recent + enough versions of cURL library to force the version of HTTP used + to talk when fetching and pushing. + + * Small fixes and features for fast-export and fast-import, mostly on + the fast-export side has been made. + + * "git push $there $src:$dst" rejects when $dst is not a fully + qualified refname and it is not clear what the end user meant. The + codepath has been taught to give a clearer error message, and also + guess where the push should go by taking the type of the pushed + object into account (e.g. a tag object would want to go under + refs/tags/). + + * "git checkout [<tree-ish>] path..." learned to report the number of + paths that have been checked out of the index or the tree-ish, + which gives it the same degree of noisy-ness as the case in which + the command checks out a branch. "git checkout -m <pathspec>" to + undo conflict resolution gives a similar message. + + * "git quiltimport" learned "--keep-non-patch" option. + + * "git worktree remove" and "git worktree move" refused to work when + there is a submodule involved. This has been loosened to ignore + uninitialized submodules. + + * "git cherry-pick -m1" was forbidden when picking a non-merge + commit, even though there _is_ parent number 1 for such a commit. + This was done to avoid mistakes back when "cherry-pick" was about + picking a single commit, but is no longer useful with "cherry-pick" + that can pick a range of commits. Now the "-m$num" option is + allowed when picking any commit, as long as $num names an existing + parent of the commit. + + * Update "git multimail" from the upstream. + + * "git p4" update. + + * The "--format=<placeholder>" option of for-each-ref, branch and tag + learned to show a few more traits of objects that can be learned by + the object_info API. + + * "git rebase -i" learned to re-execute a command given with 'exec' + to run after it failed the last time. + + * "git diff --color-moved-ws" updates. + + * Custom userformat "log --format" learned %S atom that stands for + the tip the traversal reached the commit from, i.e. --source. + + * "git instaweb" learned to drive http.server that comes with + "batteries included" Python installation (both Python2 & 3). + + * A new encoding UTF-16LE-BOM has been invented to force encoding to + UTF-16 with BOM in little endian byte order, which cannot be directly + generated by using iconv. + + * A new date format "--date=human" that morphs its output depending + on how far the time is from the current time has been introduced. + "--date=auto:human" can be used to use this new format (or any + existing format) when the output is going to the pager or to the + terminal, and otherwise the default format. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. + + * Code clean-up with optimization for the codepath that checks + (non-)existence of loose objects. + + * More codepaths have become aware of working with in-core repository + instances other than the default "the_repository". + + * The "strncat()" function is now among the banned functions. + + * Portability updates for the HPE NonStop platform. + + * Earlier we added "-Wformat-security" to developer builds, assuming + that "-Wall" (which includes "-Wformat" which in turn is required + to use "-Wformat-security") is always in effect. This is not true + when config.mak.autogen is in use, unfortunately. This has been + fixed by unconditionally adding "-Wall" to developer builds. + + * The loose object cache used to optimize existence look-up has been + updated. + + * Flaky tests can now be repeatedly run under load with the + "--stress" option. + + * Documentation/Makefile is getting prepared for manpage + localization. + + * "git fetch-pack" now can talk the version 2 protocol. + + * sha-256 hash has been added and plumbed through the code to allow + building Git with the "NewHash". + + * Debugging help for http transport. + + * "git fetch --deepen=<more>" has been corrected to work over v2 + protocol. + + * The code to walk tree objects has been taught that we may be + working with object names that are not computed with SHA-1. + + * The in-core repository instances are passed through more codepaths. + + * Update the protocol message specification to allow only the limited + use of scaled quantities. This is to ensure potential compatibility + issues will not get out of hand. + + * Micro-optimize the code that prepares commit objects to be walked + by "git rev-list" when the commit-graph is available. + + * "git fetch" and "git upload-pack" learned to send all exchanges over + the sideband channel while talking the v2 protocol. + + * The codepath to write out commit-graph has been optimized by + following the usual pattern of visiting objects in in-pack order. + + * The codepath to show progress meter while writing out commit-graph + file has been improved. + + * Cocci rules have been updated to encourage use of strbuf_addbuf(). + + * "git rebase --merge" has been reimplemented by reusing the internal + machinery used for "git rebase -i". + + * More code in "git bisect" has been rewritten in C. + + * Instead of going through "git-rebase--am" scriptlet to use the "am" + backend, the built-in version of "git rebase" learned to drive the + "am" backend directly. + + * The assumption to work on the single "in-core index" instance has + been reduced from the library-ish part of the codebase. + + * The test lint learned to catch non-portable "sed" options. + + * "git pack-objects" learned another algorithm to compute the set of + objects to send, that trades the resulting packfile off to save + traversal cost to favor small pushes. + + * The travis CI scripts have been corrected to build Git with the + compiler(s) of our choice. + + * "git submodule update" learned to abort early when core.worktree + for the submodule is not set correctly to prevent spreading damage. + + * Test suite has been adjusted to run on Azure Pipeline. + + * Running "Documentation/doc-diff x" from anywhere other than the + top-level of the working tree did not show the usage string + correctly, which has been fixed. + + * Use of the sparse tool got easier to customize from the command + line to help developers. + + * A new target "coverage-prove" to run the coverage test under + "prove" has been added. + + * A flakey "p4" test has been removed. + + * The code and tests assume that the system supplied iconv() would + always use BOM in its output when asked to encode to UTF-16 (or + UTF-32), but apparently some implementations output big-endian + without BOM. A compile-time knob has been added to help such + systems (e.g. NonStop) to add BOM to the output to increase + portability. + + +Fixes since v2.20 +----------------- + + * Updates for corner cases in merge-recursive. + (merge cc4cb0902c en/merge-path-collision later to maint). + + * "git checkout frotz" (without any double-dash) avoids ambiguity by + making sure 'frotz' cannot be interpreted as a revision and as a + path at the same time. This safety has been updated to check also + a unique remote-tracking branch 'frotz' in a remote, when dwimming + to create a local branch 'frotz' out of a remote-tracking branch + 'frotz' from a remote. + (merge be4908f103 nd/checkout-dwim-fix later to maint). + + * Refspecs configured with "git -c var=val clone" did not propagate + to the resulting repository, which has been corrected. + (merge 7eae4a3ac4 sg/clone-initial-fetch-configuration later to maint). + + * A properly configured username/email is required under + user.useConfigOnly in order to create commits; now "git stash" + (even though it creates commit objects to represent stash entries) + command is exempt from the requirement. + (merge 3bc2111fc2 sd/stash-wo-user-name later to maint). + + * The http-backend CGI process did not correctly clean up the child + processes it spawns to run upload-pack etc. when it dies itself, + which has been corrected. + (merge 02818a98d7 mk/http-backend-kill-children-before-exit later to maint). + + * "git rev-list --exclude-promisor-objects" had to take an object + that does not exist locally (and is lazily available) from the + command line without barfing, but the code dereferenced NULL. + (merge 4cf67869b2 md/list-lazy-objects-fix later to maint). + + * The traversal over tree objects has learned to honor + ":(attr:label)" pathspec match, which has been implemented only for + enumerating paths on the filesystem. + (merge 5a0b97b34c nd/attr-pathspec-in-tree-walk later to maint). + + * BSD port updates. + (merge 4e3ecbd439 cb/openbsd-allows-reading-directory later to maint). + (merge b6bdc2a0f5 cb/t5004-empty-tar-archive-fix later to maint). + (merge 82cbc8cde2 cb/test-lint-cp-a later to maint). + + * Lines that begin with a certain keyword that come over the wire, as + well as lines that consist only of one of these keywords, ought to + be painted in color for easier eyeballing, but the latter was + broken ever since the feature was introduced in 2.19, which has + been corrected. + (merge 1f67290450 hn/highlight-sideband-keywords later to maint). + + * "git log -G<regex>" looked for a hunk in the "git log -p" patch + output that contained a string that matches the given pattern. + Optimize this code to ignore binary files, which by default will + not show any hunk that would match any pattern (unless textconv or + the --text option is in effect, that is). + (merge e0e7cb8080 tb/log-G-binary later to maint). + + * "git submodule update" ought to use a single job unless asked, but + by mistake used multiple jobs, which has been fixed. + (merge e3a9d1aca9 sb/submodule-fetchjobs-default-to-one later to maint). + + * "git stripspace" should be usable outside a git repository, but + under the "-s" or "-c" mode, it didn't. + (merge 957da75802 jn/stripspace-wo-repository later to maint). + + * Some of the documentation pages formatted incorrectly with + Asciidoctor, which have been fixed. + (merge b62eb1d2f4 ma/asciidoctor later to maint). + + * The core.worktree setting in a submodule repository should not be + pointing at a directory when the submodule loses its working tree + (e.g. getting deinit'ed), but the code did not properly maintain + this invariant. + + * With zsh, "git cmd path<TAB>" was completed to "git cmd path name" + when the completed path has a special character like SP in it, + without any attempt to keep "path name" a single filename. This + has been fixed to complete it to "git cmd path\ name" just like + Bash completion does. + + * The test suite tried to see if it is run under bash, but the check + itself failed under some other implementations of shell (notably + under NetBSD). This has been corrected. + (merge 54ea72f09c sg/test-bash-version-fix later to maint). + + * "git gc" and "git repack" did not close the open packfiles that + they found unneeded before removing them, which didn't work on a + platform incapable of removing an open file. This has been + corrected. + (merge 5bdece0d70 js/gc-repack-close-before-remove later to maint). + + * The code to drive GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF command relied on the string + returned from getenv() to be non-volatile, which is not true, that + has been corrected. + (merge 6776a84dae kg/external-diff-save-env later to maint). + + * There were many places the code relied on the string returned from + getenv() to be non-volatile, which is not true, that have been + corrected. + (merge 0da0e9268b jk/save-getenv-result later to maint). + + * The v2 upload-pack protocol implementation failed to honor + hidden-ref configuration, which has been corrected. + (merge e20b4192a3 jk/proto-v2-hidden-refs-fix later to maint). + + * "git fetch --recurse-submodules" may not fetch the necessary commit + that is bound to the superproject, which is getting corrected. + (merge be76c21282 sb/submodule-recursive-fetch-gets-the-tip later to maint). + + * "git rebase" internally runs "checkout" to switch between branches, + and the command used to call the post-checkout hook, but the + reimplementation stopped doing so, which is getting fixed. + + * "git add -e" got confused when the change it wants to let the user + edit is smaller than the previous change that was left over in a + temporary file. + (merge fa6f225e01 js/add-e-clear-patch-before-stating later to maint). + + * "git p4" failed to update a shelved change when there were moved + files, which has been corrected. + (merge 7a10946ab9 ld/git-p4-shelve-update-fix later to maint). + + * The codepath to read from the commit-graph file attempted to read + past the end of it when the file's table-of-contents was corrupt. + + * The compat/obstack code had casts that -Wcast-function-type + compilation option found questionable. + (merge 764473d257 sg/obstack-cast-function-type-fix later to maint). + + * An obvious typo in an assertion error message has been fixed. + (merge 3c27e2e059 cc/test-ref-store-typofix later to maint). + + * In Git for Windows, "git clone \\server\share\path" etc. that uses + UNC paths from command line had bad interaction with its shell + emulation. + + * "git add --ignore-errors" did not work as advertised and instead + worked as an unintended synonym for "git add --renormalize", which + has been fixed. + (merge e2c2a37545 jk/add-ignore-errors-bit-assignment-fix later to maint). + + * On a case-insensitive filesystem, we failed to compare the part of + the path that is above the worktree directory in an absolute + pathname, which has been corrected. + + * Asking "git check-attr" about a macro (e.g. "binary") on a specific + path did not work correctly, even though "git check-attr -a" listed + such a macro correctly. This has been corrected. + (merge 7b95849be4 jk/attr-macro-fix later to maint). + + * "git pack-objects" incorrectly used uninitialized mutex, which has + been corrected. + (merge edb673cf10 ph/pack-objects-mutex-fix later to maint). + + * "git checkout -b <new> [HEAD]" to create a new branch from the + current commit and check it out ought to be a no-op in the index + and the working tree in normal cases, but there are corner cases + that do require updates to the index and the working tree. Running + it immediately after "git clone --no-checkout" is one of these + cases that an earlier optimization kicked in incorrectly, which has + been fixed. + (merge 8424bfd45b bp/checkout-new-branch-optim later to maint). + + * "git diff --color-moved --cc --stat -p" did not work well due to + funny interaction between a bug in color-moved and the rest, which + has been fixed. + (merge dac03b5518 jk/diff-cc-stat-fixes later to maint). + + * When GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR is set, the command was incorrectly + started when modes of "git rebase" that implicitly uses the + machinery for the interactive rebase are run, which has been + corrected. + (merge 891d4a0313 pw/no-editor-in-rebase-i-implicit later to maint). + + * The commit-graph facility did not work when in-core objects that + are promoted from unknown type to commit (e.g. a commit that is + accessed via a tag that refers to it) were involved, which has been + corrected. + (merge 4468d4435c sg/object-as-type-commit-graph-fix later to maint). + + * "git fetch" output cleanup. + (merge dc40b24df4 nd/fetch-compact-update later to maint). + + * "git cat-file --batch" reported a dangling symbolic link by + mistake, when it wanted to report that a given name is ambiguous. + + * Documentation around core.crlf has been updated. + (merge c9446f0504 jk/autocrlf-overrides-eol-doc later to maint). + + * The documentation of "git commit-tree" said that the command + understands "--gpg-sign" in addition to "-S", but the command line + parser did not know about the longhand, which has been corrected. + + * "git rebase -x $cmd" did not reject multi-line command, even though + the command is incapable of handling such a command.
