The hope is that existing users will not mind this + change, and eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error, + upgrading the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature. That + is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming release (yet). + + * The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..." + has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in a + future release. + + * An ancient script "git relink" has been removed. + + +Updates since v2.11 +------------------- + +UI, Workflows & Features + + * Various updates to "git p4". + + * "git p4" didn't interact with the internal of .git directory + correctly in the modern "git-worktree"-enabled world. + + * "git branch --list" and friends learned "--ignore-case" option to + optionally sort branches and tags case insensitively. + + * In addition to %(subject), %(body), "log --pretty=format:..." + learned a new placeholder %(trailers). + + * "git rebase" learned "--quit" option, which allows a user to + remove the metadata left by an earlier "git rebase" that was + manually aborted without using "git rebase --abort". + + * "git clone --reference $there --recurse-submodules $super" has been + taught to guess repositories usable as references for submodules of + $super that are embedded in $there while making a clone of the + superproject borrow objects from $there; extend the mechanism to + also allow submodules of these submodules to borrow repositories + embedded in these clones of the submodules embedded in the clone of + the superproject. + + * Porcelain scripts written in Perl are getting internationalized. + + * "git merge --continue" has been added as a synonym to "git commit" + to conclude a merge that has stopped due to conflicts. + + * Finer-grained control of what protocols are allowed for transports + during clone/fetch/push have been enabled via a new configuration + mechanism. + + * "git shortlog" learned "--committer" option to group commits by + committer, instead of author. + + * GitLFS integration with "git p4" has been updated. + + * The isatty() emulation for Windows has been updated to eradicate + the previous hack that depended on internals of (older) MSVC + runtime. + + * Some platforms no longer understand "latin-1" that is still seen in + the wild in e-mail headers; replace them with "iso-8859-1" that is + more widely known when conversion fails from/to it. + + * "git grep" has been taught to optionally recurse into submodules. + + * "git rm" used to refuse to remove a submodule when it has its own + git repository embedded in its working tree. It learned to move + the repository away to $GIT_DIR/modules/ of the superproject + instead, and allow the submodule to be deleted (as long as there + will be no loss of local modifications, that is). + + * A recent updates to "git p4" was not usable for older p4 but it + could be made to work with minimum changes. Do so. + + * "git diff" learned diff.interHunkContext configuration variable + that gives the default value for its --inter-hunk-context option. + + * The prereleaseSuffix feature of version comparison that is used in + "git tag -l" did not correctly when two or more prereleases for the + same release were present (e.g. when 2.0, 2.0-beta1, and 2.0-beta2 + are there and the code needs to compare 2.0-beta1 and 2.0-beta2). + + * "git submodule push" learned "--recurse-submodules=only option to + push submodules out without pushing the top-level superproject. + + * "git tag" and "git verify-tag" learned to put GPG verification + status in their "--format=<placeholders>" output format. + + * An ancient repository conversion tool left in contrib/ has been + removed. + + * "git show-ref HEAD" used with "--verify" because the user is not + interested in seeing refs/remotes/origin/HEAD, and used with + "--head" because the user does not want HEAD to be filtered out, + i.e. "git show-ref --head --verify HEAD", did not work as expected. + + * "git submodule add" used to be confused and refused to add a + locally created repository; users can now use "--force" option + to add them. + (merge 619acfc78c sb/submodule-add-force later to maint). + + * Some people feel the default set of colors used by "git log --graph" + rather limiting. A mechanism to customize the set of colors has + been introduced. + + * "git read-tree" and its underlying unpack_trees() machinery learned + to report problematic paths prefixed with the --super-prefix option. + + * When a submodule "A", which has another submodule "B" nested within + it, is "absorbed" into the top-level superproject, the inner + submodule "B" used to be left in a strange state. The logic to + adjust the .git pointers in these submodules has been corrected. + + * The user can specify a custom update method that is run when + "submodule update" updates an already checked out submodule. This + was ignored when checking the submodule out for the first time and + we instead always just checked out the commit that is bound to the + path in the superproject's index. + + * The command line completion (in contrib/) learned that + "git diff --submodule=" can take "diff" as a recently added option. + + * The "core.logAllRefUpdates" that used to be boolean has been + enhanced to take 'always' as well, to record ref updates to refs + other than the ones that are expected to be updated (i.e. branches, + remote-tracking branches and notes). + + * Comes with more command line completion (in contrib/) for recently + introduced options. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. + + * Commands that operate on a log message and add lines to the trailer + blocks, such as "format-patch -s", "cherry-pick (-x|-s)", and + "commit -s", have been taught to use the logic of and share the + code with "git interpret-trailer". + + * The default Travis-CI configuration specifies newer P4 and GitLFS. + + * The "fast hash" that had disastrous performance issues in some + corner cases has been retired from the internal diff. + + * The character width table has been updated to match Unicode 9.0 + + * Update the procedure to generate "tags" for developer support. + + * The codeflow of setting NOATIME and CLOEXEC on file descriptors Git + opens has been simplified. + + * "git diff" and its family had two experimental heuristics to shift + the contents of a hunk to make the patch easier to read. One of + them turns out to be better than the other, so leave only the + "--indent-heuristic" option and remove the other one. + + * A new submodule helper "git submodule embedgitdirs" to make it + easier to move embedded .git/ directory for submodules in a + superproject to .git/modules/ (and point the latter with the former + that is turned into a "gitdir:" file) has been added. + + * "git push \\server\share\dir" has recently regressed and then + fixed. A test has retroactively been added for this breakage. + + * Build updates for Cygwin. + + * The implementation of "real_path()" was to go there with chdir(2) + and call getcwd(3), but this obviously wouldn't be usable in a + threaded environment. Rewrite it to manually resolve relative + paths including symbolic links in path components. + + * Adjust documentation to help AsciiDoctor render better while not + breaking the rendering done by AsciiDoc. + + * The sequencer machinery has been further enhanced so that a later + set of patches can start using it to reimplement "rebase -i". + + * Update the definition of the MacOSX test environment used by + TravisCI. + + * Rewrite a scripted porcelain "git difftool" in C. + + * "make -C t failed" will now run only the tests that failed in the + previous run. This is usable only when prove is not use, and gives + a useless error message when run after "make clean", but otherwise + is serviceable. + + * "uchar [40]" to "struct object_id" conversion continues. + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + +Fixes since v2.10 +----------------- + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.9 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' +notes for details). + + * We often decide if a session is interactive by checking if the + standard I/O streams are connected to a TTY, but isatty() that + comes with Windows incorrectly returned true if it is used on NUL + (i.e. an equivalent to /dev/null). This has been fixed. + + * "git svn" did not work well with path components that are "0", and + some configuration variable it uses were not documented. + + * "git rev-parse --symbolic" failed with a more recent notation like + "HEAD^-1" and "HEAD^!". + + * An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used + to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a + submodule directory there, which has been fixed.. + + * The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the + superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed + out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small + project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable + number of refs. + + * "git push --dry-run --recurse-submodule=on-demand" wasn't + "--dry-run" in the submodules. + + * The output from "git worktree list" was made in readdir() order, + and was unstable. + + * mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode configuration variable did not apply + to built-in tools, but now it does. + + * "git p4" LFS support was broken when LFS stores an empty blob. + + * A corner case in merge-recursive regression that crept in + during 2.10 development cycle has been fixed. + + * Transport with dumb http can be fooled into following foreign URLs + that the end user does not intend to, especially with the server + side redirects and http-alternates mechanism, which can lead to + security issues. Tighten the redirection and make it more obvious + to the end user when it happens. + + * Update the error messages from the dumb-http client when it fails + to obtain loose objects; we used to give sensible error message + only upon 404 but we now forbid unexpected redirects that needs to + be reported with something sensible. + + * When diff.renames configuration is on (and with Git 2.9 and later, + it is enabled by default, which made it worse), "git stash" + misbehaved if a file is removed and another file with a very + similar content is added. + + * "git diff --no-index" did not take "--no-abbrev" option. + + * "git difftool --dir-diff" had a minor regression when started from + a subdirectory, which has been fixed. + + * "git commit --allow-empty --only" (no pathspec) with dirty index + ought to be an acceptable way to create a new commit that does not + change any paths, but it was forbidden, perhaps because nobody + needed it so far. + + * Git 2.11 had a minor regression in "merge --ff-only" that competed + with another process that simultanously attempted to update the + index. We used to explain what went wrong with an error message, + but the new code silently failed. The error message has been + resurrected. + + * A pathname that begins with "//" or "\\" on Windows is special but + path normalization logic was unaware of it. + + * "git pull --rebase", when there is no new commits on our side since + we forked from the upstream, should be able to fast-forward without + invoking "git rebase", but it didn't. + + * The way to specify hotkeys to "xxdiff" that is used by "git + mergetool" has been modernized to match recent versions of xxdiff. + + * Unlike "git am --abort", "git cherry-pick --abort" moved HEAD back + to where cherry-pick started while picking multiple changes, when + the cherry-pick stopped to ask for help from the user, and the user + did "git reset --hard" to a different commit in order to re-attempt + the operation. + + * Code cleanup in shallow boundary computation. + + * A recent update to receive-pack to make it easier to drop garbage + objects made it clear that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES cannot + have a pathname with a colon in it (no surprise!), and this in turn + made it impossible to push into a repository at such a path. This + has been fixed by introducing a quoting mechanism used when + appending such a path to the colon-separated list. + + * The function usage_msg_opt() has been updated to say "fatal:" + before the custom message programs give, when they want to die + with a message about wrong command line options followed by the + standard usage string. + + * "git index-pack --stdin" needs an access to an existing repository, + but "git index-pack file.pack" to generate an .idx file that + corresponds to a packfile does not. + + * Fix for NDEBUG builds. + + * A lazy "git push" without refspec did not internally use a fully + specified refspec to perform 'current', 'simple', or 'upstream' + push, causing unnecessary "ambiguous ref" errors. + + * "git p4" misbehaved when swapping a directory and a symbolic link. + + * Even though an fix was attempted in Git 2.9.3 days, but running + "git difftool --dir-diff" from a subdirectory never worked. This + has been fixed. + + * "git p4" that tracks multile p4 paths imported a single changelist + that touches files in these multiple paths as one commit, followed + by many empty commits. This has been fixed. + + * A potential but unlikely buffer overflow in Windows port has been + fixed. + + * When the http server gives an incomplete response to a smart-http + rpc call, it could lead to client waiting for a full response that + will never come. Teach the client side to notice this condition + and abort the transfer. + + * Compression setting for producing packfiles were spread across + three codepaths, one of which did not honor any configuration. + Unify these so that all of them honor core.compression and + pack.compression variables the same way. + + * "git fast-import" sometimes mishandled while rebalancing notes + tree, which has been fixed. + + * Recent update to the default abbreviation length that auto-scales + lacked documentation update, which has been corrected. + + * Leakage of lockfiles in the config subsystem has been fixed. + + * It is natural that "git gc --auto" may not attempt to pack + everything into a single pack, and there is no point in warning + when the user has configured the system to use the pack bitmap, + leading to disabling further "gc". + + * "git archive" did not read the standard configuration files, and + failed to notice a file that is marked as binary via the userdiff + driver configuration. + + * "git blame --porcelain" misidentified the "previous" <commit, path> + pair (aka "source") when contents came from two or more files. + + * "git rebase -i" with a recent update started showing an incorrect + count when squashing more than 10 commits. + + * "git <cmd> @{push}" on a detached HEAD used to segfault; it has + been corrected to error out with a message. + + * Running "git add a/b" when "a" is a submodule correctly errored + out, but without a meaningful error message. + (merge 2d81c48fa7 sb/pathspec-errors later to maint). + + * Typing ^C to pager, which usually does not kill it, killed Git and + took the pager down as a collateral damage in certain process-tree + structure. This has been fixed. + + * "git mergetool" without any pathspec on the command line that is + run from a subdirectory became no-op in Git v2.11 by mistake, which + has been fixed. + + * Retire long unused/unmaintained gitview from the contrib/ area. + (merge 3120925c25 sb/remove-gitview later to maint). + + * Tighten a test to avoid mistaking an extended ERE regexp engine as + a PRE regexp engine. + + * An error message with an ASCII control character like '\r' in it + can alter the message to hide its early part, which is problematic + when a remote side gives such an error message that the local side + will relay with a "remote: " prefix. + (merge f290089879 jk/vreport-sanitize later to maint). + + * "git fsck" inspects loose objects more carefully now. + (merge cce044df7f jk/loose-object-fsck later to maint). + + * A crashing bug introduced in v2.11 timeframe has been found (it is + triggerable only in fast-import) and fixed. + (merge abd5a00268 jk/clear-delta-base-cache-fix later to maint). + + * With an anticipatory tweak for remotes defined in ~/.gitconfig + (e.g. "remote.origin.prune" set to true, even though there may or + may not actually be "origin" remote defined in a particular Git + repository), "git remote rename" and other commands misinterpreted + and behaved as if such a non-existing remote actually existed. + (merge e459b073fb js/remote-rename-with-half-configured-remote later to maint). + + * A few codepaths had to rely on a global variable when sorting + elements of an array because sort(3) API does not allow extra data + to be passed to the comparison function. Use qsort_s() when + natively available, and a fallback implementation of it when not, + to eliminate the need, which is a prerequisite for making the + codepath reentrant. + + * "git fsck --connectivity-check" was not working at all. + (merge a2b22854bd jk/fsck-connectivity-check-fix later to maint). + + * After starting "git rebase -i", which first opens the user's editor + to edit the series of patches to apply, but before saving the + contents of that file, "git status" failed to show the current + state (i.e. you are in an interactive rebase session, but you have + applied no steps yet) correctly. + (merge df9ded4984 js/status-pre-rebase-i later to maint). + + * Test tweak for FreeBSD where /usr/bin/unzip is unsuitable to run + our tests but /usr/local/bin/unzip is usable. + (merge d98b2c5fce js/unzip-in-usr-bin-workaround later to maint). + + * "git p4" did not work well with multiple git-p4.mapUser entries on + Windows. + (merge c3c2b05776 gv/mingw-p4-mapuser later to maint). + + * "git help" enumerates executable files in $PATH; the implementation + of "is this file executable?" on Windows has been optimized. + (merge c755015f79 hv/mingw-help-is-executable later to maint). + + * Test tweaks for those who have default ACL in their git source tree + that interfere with the umask test. + (merge d549d21307 mm/reset-facl-before-umask-test later to maint). + + * Names of the various hook scripts must be spelled exactly, but on + Windows, an .exe binary must be named with .exe suffix; notice + $GIT_DIR/hooks/<hookname>.exe as a valid <hookname> hook. + (merge 235be51fbe js/mingw-hooks-with-exe-suffix later to maint). + + * Asciidoctor, an alternative reimplementation of AsciiDoc, still + needs some changes to work with documents meant to be formatted + with AsciiDoc.
