For paths + added with intent-to-add bit, the command shows the full contents + of them as added, but the paths themselves were not marked as new + files. They are now shown as new by default. + + "git apply" learned the "--intent-to-add" option so that an + otherwise working-tree-only application of a patch will add new + paths to the index marked with the "intent-to-add" bit. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. + + * The bulk of "git submodule foreach" has been rewritten in C. + + * The in-core "commit" object had an all-purpose "void *util" field, + which was tricky to use especially in library-ish part of the + code. All of the existing uses of the field has been migrated to a + more dedicated "commit-slab" mechanism and the field is eliminated. + + * A less often used command "git show-index" has been modernized. + (merge fb3010c31f jk/show-index later to maint). + + * The conversion to pass "the_repository" and then "a_repository" + throughout the object access API continues. + + * Continuing with the idea to programatically enumerate various + pieces of data required for command line completion, teach the + codebase to report the list of configuration variables + subcommands care about to help complete them. + + * Separate "rebase -p" codepath out of "rebase -i" implementation to + slim down the latter and make it easier to manage. + + * Make refspec parsing codepath more robust. + + * Some flaky tests have been fixed. + + * Continuing with the idea to programmatically enumerate various + pieces of data required for command line completion, the codebase + has been taught to enumerate options prefixed with "--no-" to + negate them. + + * Build and test procedure for netrc credential helper (in contrib/) + has been updated. + + +Fixes since v2.18 +----------------- + + * "git remote update" can take both a single remote nickname and a + nickname for remote groups, and the completion script (in contrib/) + has been taught about it. + (merge 9cd4382ad5 ls/complete-remote-update-names later to maint). + + * "git fetch --shallow-since=<cutoff>" that specifies the cut-off + point that is newer than the existing history used to end up + grabbing the entire history. Such a request now errors out. + (merge e34de73c56 nd/reject-empty-shallow-request later to maint). + + * Fix for 2.17-era regression around `core.safecrlf`. + (merge 6cb09125be as/safecrlf-quiet-fix later to maint). + + * The recent addition of "partial clone" experimental feature kicked + in when it shouldn't, namely, when there is no partial-clone filter + defined even if extensions.partialclone is set. + (merge cac1137dc4 jh/partial-clone later to maint). + + * "git send-pack --signed" (hence "git push --signed" over the http + transport) did not read user ident from the config mechanism to + determine whom to sign the push certificate as, which has been + corrected. + (merge d067d98887 ms/send-pack-honor-config later to maint). + + * "git fetch-pack --all" used to unnecessarily fail upon seeing an + annotated tag that points at an object other than a commit. + (merge c12c9df527 jk/fetch-all-peeled-fix later to maint). + + * When user edits the patch in "git add -p" and the user's editor is + set to strip trailing whitespaces indiscriminately, an empty line + that is unchanged in the patch would become completely empty + (instead of a line with a sole SP on it). The code introduced in + Git 2.17 timeframe failed to parse such a patch, but now it learned + to notice the situation and cope with it. + (merge f4d35a6b49 pw/add-p-recount later to maint). + + * The code to try seeing if a fetch is necessary in a submodule + during a fetch with --recurse-submodules got confused when the path + to the submodule was changed in the range of commits in the + superproject, sometimes showing "(null)".
