The series tries to fix them up. + + * "git apply" miscounted the bytes and failed to read to the end of + binary hunks. + + * "git range-diff" code clean-up. + + * "git commit --fixup" now works with "--edit" again, after it was + broken in v2.32. + + * Use upload-artifacts v1 (instead of v2) for 32-bit linux, as the + new version has a blocker bug for that architecture. + + * Checking out all the paths from HEAD during the last conflicted + step in "git rebase" and continuing would cause the step to be + skipped (which is expected), but leaves MERGE_MSG file behind in + $GIT_DIR and confuses the next "git commit", which has been + corrected. + + * Various bugs in "git rebase -r" have been fixed. + + * mmap() imitation used to call xmalloc() that dies upon malloc() + failure, which has been corrected to just return an error to the + caller to be handled. + + * "git diff --relative" segfaulted and/or produced incorrect result + when there are unmerged paths. + + * The delayed checkout code path in "git checkout" etc. were chatty + even when --quiet and/or --no-progress options were given. + + * "git branch -D <branch>" used to refuse to remove a broken branch + ref that points at a missing commit, which has been corrected. + + * Build update for Apple clang. + + * The parser for the "--nl" option of "git column" has been + corrected. + + * "git upload-pack" which runs on the other side of "git fetch" + forgot to take the ref namespaces into account when handling + want-ref requests. + + * The sparse-index support can corrupt the index structure by storing + a stale and/or uninitialized data, which has been corrected. + + * Buggy tests could damage repositories outside the throw-away test + area we created. We now by default export GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES + to limit the damage from such a stray test. + + * Even when running "git send-email" without its own threaded + discussion support, a threading related header in one message is + carried over to the subsequent message to result in an unwanted + threading, which has been corrected. + + * The output from "git fast-export", when its anonymization feature + is in use, showed an annotated tag incorrectly. + + * Recent "diff -m" changes broke "gitk", which has been corrected. + + * "git maintenance" scheduler fix for macOS. + + * A pathname in an advice message has been made cut-and-paste ready. + + * The "git apply -3" code path learned not to bother the lower level + merge machinery when the three-way merge can be trivially resolved + without the content level merge. + + * The code that optionally creates the *.rev reverse index file has + been optimized to avoid needless computation when it is not writing + the file out. + + * "git range-diff -I... <range> <range>" segfaulted, which has been + corrected. + + * The order in which various files that make up a single (conceptual) + packfile has been reevaluated and straightened up. This matters in + correctness, as an incomplete set of files must not be shown to a + running Git. + + * The "mode" word is useless in a call to open(2) that does not + create a new file. Such a call in the files backend of the ref + subsystem has been cleaned up. + + * "git update-ref --stdin" failed to flush its output as needed, + which potentially led the conversation to a deadlock. + + * When "git am --abort" fails to abort correctly, it still exited + with exit status of 0, which has been corrected. + + * Correct nr and alloc members of strvec struct to be of type size_t. + + * "git stash", where the tentative change involves changing a + directory to a file (or vice versa), was confused, which has been + corrected. + + * "git clone" from a repository whose HEAD is unborn into a bare + repository didn't follow the branch name the other side used, which + is corrected. + + * "git cvsserver" had a long-standing bug in its authentication code, + which has finally been corrected (it is unclear and is a separate + question if anybody is seriously using it, though). + + * "git difftool --dir-diff" mishandled symbolic links. + + * Sensitive data in the HTTP trace were supposed to be redacted, but + we failed to do so in HTTP/2 requests. + + * "make clean" has been updated to remove leftover .depend/ + directories, even when it is not told to use them to compute header + dependencies. + + * Protocol v0 clients can get stuck parsing a malformed feature line. + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
