Git 2.26 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.25
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Sample credential helper for using .netrc has been updated to work
out of the box.
* gpg.minTrustLevel configuration variable has been introduced to
tell various signature verification codepaths the required minimum
trust level.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete
subcommands and arguments to "git worktree".
* Disambiguation logic to tell revisions and pathspec apart has been
tweaked so that backslash-escaped glob special characters do not
count in the "wildcards are pathspec" rule.
* One effect of specifying where the GIT_DIR is (either with the
environment variable, or with the "git --git-dir=<where> cmd"
option) is to disable the repository discovery. This has been
placed a bit more stress in the documentation, as new users often
get confused.
* Two help messages given when "git add" notices the user gave it
nothing to add have been updated to use advise() API.
* A new version of fsmonitor-watchman hook has been introduced, to
avoid races.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Tell .editorconfig that in this project, *.txt files are indented
with tabs.
* The test-lint machinery knew to check "VAR=VAL shell_function"
construct, but did not check "VAR= shell_funciton", which has been
corrected.
* Replace "git config --bool" calls with "git config --type=bool" in
sample templates.
* The effort to move "git-add--interactive" to C continues.
* Improve error message generation for "git submodule add".
* Preparation of test scripts for the day when the object names will
use SHA-256 continues.
* Warn programmers about pretend_object_file() that allows the code
to tentatively use in-core objects.
* The way "git pack-objects" reuses objects stored in existing pack
to generate its result has been improved.
* The transport protocol version 2 becomes the default one.
* Traditionally, we avoided threaded grep while searching in objects
(as opposed to files in the working tree) as accesses to the object
layer is not thread-safe. This limitation is getting lifted.
* "git rebase -i" (and friends) used to unnecessarily check out the
tip of the branch to be rebased, which has been corrected.
* A low-level API function get_oid(), that accepts various ways to
name an object, used to issue end-user facing error messages
without l10n, which has been updated to be translatable.
* Unneeded connectivity check is now disabled in a partial clone when
fetching into it.
* Some rough edges in the sparse-checkout feature, especially around
the cone mode, have been cleaned up.
* The diff-* plumbing family of subcommands now pay attention to the
diff.wsErrorHighlight configuration, which has been ignored before;
this allows "git add -p" to also show the whitespace problems to
the end user.
* Some codepaths were given a repository instance as a parameter to
work in the repository, but passed the_repository instance to its
callees, which has been cleaned up (somewhat).
Fixes since v2.25
-----------------
* "git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is
nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints
configuration variable, which has been corrected.
(merge 5c4f55f1f6 hw/commit-advise-while-rejecting later to maint).
* has_object_file() said "no" given an object registered to the
system via pretend_object_file(), making it inconsistent with
read_object_file(), causing lazy fetch to attempt fetching an
empty tree from promisor remotes.
(merge 9c8a294a1a jt/sha1-file-remove-oi-skip-cached later to maint).
* Complete an update to tutorial that encourages "git switch" over
"git checkout" that was done only half-way.
(merge 1a7e454dd6 hw/tutorial-favor-switch-over-checkout later to maint).
* C pedantry ;-) fix.
(merge 63ab08fb99 bc/run-command-nullness-after-free-fix later to maint).
* The code that tries to skip over the entries for the paths in a
single directory using the cache-tree was not careful enough
against corrupt index file.
(merge 573117dfa5 es/unpack-trees-oob-fix later to maint).
* Reduce unnecessary round-trip when running "ls-remote" over the
stateless RPC mechanism.
(merge 4d8cab95cc jk/no-flush-upon-disconnecting-slrpc-transport later to maint).
* "git restore --staged" did not correctly update the cache-tree
structure, resulting in bogus trees to be written afterwards, which
has been corrected.
(merge e701bab3e9 nd/switch-and-restore later to maint).
* The code recently added to move to the entry beyond the ones in the
same directory in the index in the sparse-cone mode did not count
the number of entries to skip over incorrectly, which has been
corrected.
(merge 7210ca4ee5 ds/sparse-cone later to maint).
* Rendering by "git log --graph" of ancestry lines leading to a merge
commit were made suboptimal to waste vertical space a bit with a
recent update, which has been corrected.
(merge c958d3bd0a ds/graph-horizontal-edges later to maint).
* Work around test breakages caused by custom regex engine used in
libasan, when address sanitizer is used with more recent versions
of gcc and clang.
(merge f65d07fffa jk/asan-build-fix later to maint).
* Minor bugfixes to "git add -i" that has recently been rewritten in C.
(merge 849e43cc18 js/builtin-add-i-cmds later to maint).
* "git fetch --refmap=" option has got a better documentation.
(merge b40a50264a ds/refmap-doc later to maint).
* "git checkout X" did not correctly fail when X is not a local
branch but could name more than one remote-tracking branches
(i.e. to be dwimmed as the starting point to create a corresponding
local branch), which has been corrected.
(merge fa74180d08 am/checkout-file-and-ref-ref-ambiguity later to maint).
* Corner case bugs in "git clean" that stems from a (necessarily for
performance reasons) awkward calling convention in the directory
enumeration API has been corrected.
(merge 0cbb60574e en/fill-directory-fixes-more later to maint).
* A fetch that is told to recursively fetch updates in submodules
inevitably produces reams of output, and it becomes hard to spot
error messages. The command has been taught to enumerate
submodules that had errors at the end of the operation.
(merge 0222540827 es/fetch-show-failed-submodules-atend later to maint).
* The "--recurse-submodules" option of various subcommands did not
work well when run in an alternate worktree, which has been
corrected.
(merge a9472afb63 pb/recurse-submodule-in-worktree-fix later to maint).
* Futureproofing a test not to depend on the current implementation
detail.
(merge b54128bb0b jt/t5616-robustify later to maint).
* Running "git rm" on a submodule failed unnecessarily when
.gitmodules is only cache-dirty, which has been corrected.
(merge 7edee32985 dt/submodule-rm-with-stale-cache later to maint).
* C pedantry ;-) fix.
(merge cf82bff73f jk/clang-sanitizer-fixes later to maint).
* "git grep --no-index" should not get affected by the contents of
the .gitmodules file but when "--recurse-submodules" is given or
the "submodule.recurse" variable is set, it did. Now these
settings are ignored in the "--no-index" mode.
(merge c56c48dd07 pb/do-not-recurse-grep-no-index later to maint).
* Technical details of the bundle format has been documented.
(merge 7378ec90e1 ms/doc-bundle-format later to maint).
* Unhelpful warning messages during documentation build have been squelched.
(merge 30183894ea js/ci-squelch-doc-warning later to maint).
* "git rebase -i" identifies existing commits in its todo file with
their abbreviated object name, which could become ambigous as it
goes to create new commits, and has a mechanism to avoid ambiguity
in the main part of its execution. A few other cases however were
not covered by the protection against ambiguity, which has been
corrected.
(merge 26027625dd js/rebase-i-with-colliding-hash later to maint).
* Allow the rebase.missingCommitsCheck configuration to kick in when
"rebase --edit-todo" and "rebase --continue" restarts the procedure.
(merge 5a5445d878 ag/edit-todo-drop-check later to maint).
* The way "git submodule status" reports an initialized but not yet
populated submodule has not been reimplemented correctly when a
part of the "git submodule" command was rewritten in C, which has
been corrected.
(merge f38c92452d pk/status-of-uncloned-submodule later to maint).
* The code to automatically shrink the fan-out in the notes tree had
an off-by-one bug, which has been killed.
(merge dbc27477ff jh/notes-fanout-fix later to maint).
* The index-pack code now diagnoses a bad input packstream that
records the same object twice when it is used as delta base; the
code used to declare a software bug when encountering such an
input, but it is an input error.
(merge a21781011f jk/index-pack-dupfix later to maint).
* The code to compute the commit-graph has been taught to use a more
robust way to tell if two object directories refer to the same
thing.
(merge a7df60cac8 tb/commit-graph-object-dir later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge 26f924d50e en/simplify-check-updates-in-unpack-trees later to maint).
(merge 065027ee1a en/string-list-can-be-custom-sorted later to maint).
(merge d0d0a357a1 am/update-pathspec-f-f-tests later to maint).
