Release Notes -====================== - -Updates since v2.3 ------------------- - -Ports - - -UI, Workflows & Features - - * The command usage info strings given by "git cmd -h" and in - documentation have been tweaked for consistency. - - * The "sync" subcommand of "git p4" now allows users to exclude - subdirectories like its "clone" subcommand does. - - * "git log --invert-grep --grep=WIP" will show only commits that do - not have the string "WIP" in their messages. - - * "git push" has been taught a "--atomic" option that makes push to - update more than one ref an "all-or-none" affair. - - * Extending the "push to deploy" added in 2.3, the behaviour of "git - push" when updating the branch that is checked out can now be - tweaked by push-to-checkout hook. - - * Using environment variable LANGUAGE and friends on the client side, - HTTP-based transports now send Accept-Language when making requests. - - -Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. - - * Implementation of N_() macro has been updated slightly to help us - detect mistakes. - - * Implementation of "reflog expire" has been restructured to fit the - reflogs better with the recently updated ref API. - - -Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. - - -Fixes since v2.3 ----------------- - -Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.3 in the maintenance -track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' -notes for details). - - * "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it - tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD". - (merge a46442f jk/blame-commit-label later to maint). - - * "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did - not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree - files and failed to do so for whatever reason. - (merge 89ea903 jn/rerere-fail-on-auto-update-failure later to maint). - - * Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce - broken patches. - (merge 339de50 dk/format-patch-ignore-diff-submodule later to maint). - - * After attempting and failing a password-less authentication - (e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based - Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement. - (merge 4dbe664 bc/http-fallback-to-password-after-krb-fails later to maint). - - * The "git push" documentation made the "--repo=<there>" option - easily misunderstood. - (merge 57b92a7 mg/push-repo-option-doc later to maint). - - * Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory - would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file. - (merge 66ec904 jk/status-read-branch-name-fix later to maint). - - * A misspelled conditional that is always true has been fixed. - (merge 94ee8e2 jk/remote-curl-an-array-in-struct-cannot-be-null later to maint). - - * The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the - only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in - the --raw format. - (merge ac1c2d9 jc/diff-format-doc later to maint). - - * A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the - dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other - side. - (merge 8b9c2dd jk/dumb-http-idx-fetch-fix later to maint). - - * The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author - name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been - reworded to avoid misunderstanding. - (merge 1044b1f mg/commit-author-no-match-malformed-message later to maint). - - * "git log --help" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant - to the "log" command. - (merge 3cab02d jc/doc-log-rev-list-options later to maint). - - * "git apply --whitespace=fix" used to under-allocate the memory when - the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch. - (merge 407a792 jc/apply-ws-fix-expands later to maint). - - * The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it" - interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when - the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the - user could have made was to choose nothing. - (merge a9c4641 ak/add-i-empty-candidates later to maint). - - * The insn sheet "git rebase -i" creates did not fully honor - core.abbrev settings. - (merge edb72d5 ks/rebase-i-abbrev later to maint). - - * "git fetch" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to "list" - command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD. - (merge 33cae54 mh/deref-symref-over-helper-transport later to maint). - - * "git push --signed" gave an incorrectly worded error message when - the other side did not support the capability. - (merge 45917f0 jc/push-cert later to maint). - - * We didn't format an integer that wouldn't fit in "int" but in - "uintmax_t" correctly. - (merge d306f3d jk/decimal-width-for-uintmax later to maint). - - * Reading configuration from a blob object, when it ends with a lone - CR, use to confuse the configuration parser. - (merge 1d0655c jk/config-no-ungetc-eof later to maint). - - * The pack bitmap support did not build with older versions of GCC. - (merge bd4e882 jk/pack-bitmap later to maint). - - * The documentation wasn't clear that "remote.<nick>.pushURL" and - "remote.<nick>.URL" are there to name the same repository accessed - via different transports, not two separate repositories. - (merge 697f652 jc/remote-set-url-doc later to maint). - - * Older GnuPG implementations may not correctly import the keyring - material we prepare for the tests to use. - (merge 1f985d6 ch/new-gpg-drops-rfc-1991 later to maint). - - * The credential helper for Windows (in contrib/) used to mishandle - a user name with an at-sign in it. - (merge 13d261e av/wincred-with-at-in-username-fix later to maint). - - * Longstanding configuration variable naming rules has been added to - the documentation. - (merge 35840a3 jc/conf-var-doc later to maint). - - * An earlier workaround to squelch unhelpful deprecation warnings - from the complier on Mac OSX unnecessarily set minimum required - version of the OS, which the user might want to raise (or lower) - for other reasons. - (merge 88c03eb es/squelch-openssl-warnings-on-macosx later to maint). - - * Certain older vintages of cURL give irregular output from - "curl-config --vernum", which confused our build system. - (merge 3af6792 tc/curl-vernum-output-broken-in-7.11 later to maint). - - * In v2.2.0, we broke "git prune" that runs in a repository that - borrows from an alternate object store. - (merge b0a4264 jk/prune-mtime later to maint). -
