Git 2.22 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.21
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* "git checkout --no-overlay" can be used to trigger a new mode of
checking out paths out of the tree-ish, that allows paths that
match the pathspec that are in the current index and working tree
and are not in the tree-ish.
* The %(trailers) formatter in "git log --format=..." now allows to
optionally pick trailers selectively by keyword, show only values,
etc.
* Four new configuration variables {author,committer}.{name,email}
have been introduced to override user.{name,email} in more specific
cases.
* Command-line completion (in contrib/) learned to tab-complete the
"git submodule absorbgitdirs" subcommand.
* "git branch" learned a new subcommand "--show-current".
* Output from "diff --cc" did not show the original paths when the
merge involved renames. A new option adds the paths in the
original trees to the output.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught to
complete more subcommand parameters.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The diff machinery, one of the oldest parts of the system, which
long predates the parse-options API, uses fairly long and complex
handcrafted option parser. This is being rewritten to use the
parse-options API.
* The implementation of pack-redundant has been updated for
performance in a repository with many packfiles.
* A more structured way to obtain execution trace has been added.
* "git prune" has been taught to take advantage of reachability
bitmap when able.
Fixes since v2.21
-----------------
* "git prune-packed" did not notice and complain against excess
arguments given from the command line, which now it does.
(merge 9b0bd87ed2 rj/prune-packed-excess-args later to maint).
* Split-index fix.
(merge 6e37c8ed3c nd/split-index-null-base-fix later to maint).
* "git diff --no-index" may still want to access Git goodies like
--ext-diff and --textconv, but so far these have been ignored,
which has been corrected.
(merge 287ab28bfa jk/diff-no-index-initialize later to maint).
* Unify RPC code for smart http in protocol v0/v1 and v2, which fixes
a bug in the latter (lack of authentication retry) and generally
improves the code base.
(merge a97d00799a jt/http-auth-proto-v2-fix later to maint).
* The include file compat/bswap.h has been updated so that it is safe
to (accidentally) include it more than once.
(merge 33aa579a55 jk/guard-bswap-header later to maint).
* The set of header files used by "make hdr-check" unconditionally
included sha256/gcrypt.h, even when it is not used, causing the
make target to fail. We now skip it when GCRYPT_SHA256 is not in
use.
(merge f23aa18e7f rj/hdr-check-gcrypt-fix later to maint).
* The Makefile uses 'find' utility to enumerate all the *.h header
files, which is expensive on platforms with slow filesystems; it
now optionally uses "ls-files" if working within a repository,
which is a trick similar to how all sources are enumerated to run
ETAGS on.
(merge 92b88eba9f js/find-lib-h-with-ls-files-when-possible later to maint).
* Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge 11f470aee7 jc/test-yes-doc later to maint).
(merge 90503a240b js/doc-symref-in-proto-v1 later to maint).
(merge 5c326d1252 jk/unused-params later to maint).
(merge 68cabbfda3 dl/doc-submodule-wo-subcommand later to maint).
(merge 9903623761 ab/receive-pack-use-after-free-fix later to maint).
(merge 1ede45e44b en/merge-options-doc later to maint).
(merge 3e14dd2c8e rd/doc-hook-used-in-sample later to maint).
(merge c271dc28fd nd/no-more-check-racy later to maint).
(merge e6e15194a8 yb/utf-16le-bom-spellfix later to maint).
(merge bb101aaf0c rd/attr.c-comment-typofix later to maint).
(merge 716a5af812 rd/gc-prune-doc-fix later to maint).
(merge 50b206371d js/untravis-windows later to maint).
(merge dbf47215e3 js/rebase-recreate-merge later to maint).
