Git 2.32 Release Notes
======================
Backward compatibility notes
----------------------------
* ".gitattributes", ".gitignore", and ".mailmap" files that are
symbolic links are ignored.
Updates since v2.31
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* It does not make sense to make ".gitattributes", ".gitignore" and
".mailmap" symlinks, as they are supposed to be usable from the
object store (think: bare repositories where HEAD:.mailmap etc. are
used). When these files are symbolic links, we used to read the
contents of the files pointed by them by mistake, which has been
corrected.
* "git stash show" learned to optionally show untracked part of the
stash.
* "git log --format='...'" learned "%(describe)" placeholder.
* "git repack" so far has been only capable of repacking everything
under the sun into a single pack (or split by size). A cleverer
strategy to reduce the cost of repacking a repository has been
introduced.
* The http codepath learned to let the credential layer to cache the
password used to unlock a certificate that has successfully been
used.
* "git commit --fixup=<commit>", which was to tweak the changes made
to the contents while keeping the original log message intact,
learned "--fixup=(amend|reword):<commit>", that can be used to
tweak both the message and the contents, and only the message,
respectively.
* When accessing a server with a URL like https://user:pass@site/, we
did not to fall back to the basic authentication with the
credential material embedded in the URL after the "Negotiate"
authentication failed. Now we do.
* "git send-email" learned to honor the core.hooksPath configuration.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Rename detection rework continues.
* GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is a mechanism to skip test pieces with
prerequisites to catch broken tests that depend on the side effects
of optional pieces, but did not work at all when negative
prerequisites were involved.
(merge 27d578d904 jk/fail-prereq-testfix later to maint).
* "git diff-index" codepath has been taught to trust fsmonitor status
to reduce number of lstat() calls.
(merge 7e5aa13d2c nk/diff-index-fsmonitor later to maint).
* Reorganize Makefile to allow building git.o and other essential
objects without extra stuff needed only for testing.
Fixes since v2.31
-----------------
* The fsmonitor interface read from its input without making sure
there is something to read from. This bug is new in 2.31
timeframe.
* The data structure used by fsmonitor interface was not properly
duplicated during an in-core merge, leading to use-after-free etc.
* "git bisect" reimplemented more in C during 2.30 timeframe did not
take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint well. This regression
has been corrected.
* Fix macros that can silently inject unintended null-statements.
* CALLOC_ARRAY() macro replaces many uses of xcalloc().
* Update insn in Makefile comments to run fuzz-all target.
* Fix a corner case bug in "git mv" on case insensitive systems,
which was introduced in 2.29 timeframe.
* We had a code to diagnose and die cleanly when a required
clean/smudge filter is missing, but an assert before that
unnecessarily fired, hiding the end-user facing die() message.
(merge 6fab35f748 mt/cleanly-die-upon-missing-required-filter later to maint).
* Update C code that sets a few configuration variables when a remote
is configured so that it spells configuration variable names in the
canonical camelCase.
(merge 0f1da600e6 ab/remote-write-config-in-camel-case later to maint).
* A new configuration variable has been introduced to allow choosing
which version of the generation number gets used in the
commit-graph file.
(merge 702110aac6 ds/commit-graph-generation-config later to maint).
* Perf test update to work better in secondary worktrees.
(merge 36e834abc1 jk/perf-in-worktrees later to maint).
* Updates to memory allocation code around the use of pcre2 library.
(merge c1760352e0 ab/grep-pcre2-allocfix later to maint).
* "git -c core.bare=false clone --bare ..." would have segfaulted,
which has been corrected.
(merge 75555676ad bc/clone-bare-with-conflicting-config later to maint).
* When "git checkout" removes a path that does not exist in the
commit it is checking out, it wasn't careful enough not to follow
symbolic links, which has been corrected.
(merge fab78a0c3d mt/checkout-remove-nofollow later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge f451960708 dl/cat-file-doc-cleanup later to maint).
(merge 12604a8d0c sv/t9801-test-path-is-file-cleanup later to maint).
