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/). Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. + * Code clean-up with optimization for the codepath that checks + (non-)existence of loose objects. + + * More codepaths become aware of working with in-core repository + instance other than the default "the_repository". 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). + * Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
