Git 2.23 Release Notes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.22
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Backward compatibility note
|
|
|
|
* The "--base" option of "format-patch" computed the patch-ids for
|
|
prerequisite patches in an unstable way, which has been updated to
|
|
compute in a way that is compatible with "git patch-id --stable".
|
|
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* The "git fast-export/import" pair has been taught to handle commits
|
|
with log messages in encoding other than UTF-8 better.
|
|
|
|
* In recent versions of Git, per-worktree refs are exposed in
|
|
refs/worktrees/<wtname>/ hierarchy, which means that worktree names
|
|
must be a valid refname component. The code now sanitizes the names
|
|
given to worktrees, to make sure these refs are well-formed.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge" learned "--quit" option that cleans up the in-progress
|
|
merge while leaving the working tree and the index still in a mess.
|
|
|
|
* "git format-patch" learns a configuration to set the default for
|
|
its --notes=<ref> option.
|
|
|
|
* The code to show args with potential typo that cannot be
|
|
interpreted as a commit-ish has been improved.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone --recurse-submodules" learned to set up the submodules
|
|
to ignore commit object names recorded in the superproject gitlink
|
|
and instead use the commits that happen to be at the tip of the
|
|
remote-tracking branches from the get-go, by passing the new
|
|
"--remote-submodules" option.
|
|
|
|
* The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
|
|
boundary for Matlab has been extend to cover Octave, which is more
|
|
or less equivalent.
|
|
|
|
* "git help git" was hard to discover (well, at least for some
|
|
people).
|
|
|
|
* The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
|
|
boundary for Rust has been added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* Update supporting parts of "git rebase" to remove code that should
|
|
no longer be used.
|
|
|
|
* Developer support to emulate unsatisfied prerequisites in tests to
|
|
ensure that the remainer of the tests still succeeds when tests
|
|
with prerequisites are skipped.
|
|
|
|
* "git update-server-info" learned not to rewrite the file with the
|
|
same contents.
|
|
|
|
* The way of specifying the path to find dynamic libraries at runtime
|
|
has been simplified. The old default to pass -R/path/to/dir has been
|
|
replaced with the new default to pass -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/dir,
|
|
which is the more recent GCC uses. Those who need to build with an
|
|
old GCC can still use "CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R"
|
|
|
|
* Prepare use of reachability index in topological walker that works
|
|
on a range (A..B).
|
|
|
|
* A new tutorial targetting specifically aspiring git-core
|
|
developers has been added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.22
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>"
|
|
ought to be relative to the directory "git init" gets invoked in,
|
|
but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
(merge e1df7fe43f nd/init-relative-template-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git worktree add" used to fail when another worktree connected to
|
|
the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 105df73e71 nd/corrupt-worktrees later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The ownership rule for the file descriptor to fast-import remote
|
|
backend was mixed up, leading to unrelated file descriptor getting
|
|
closed, which has been fixed.
|
|
(merge 3203566a71 mh/import-transport-fd-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* A "merge -c" instruction during "git rebase --rebase-merges" should
|
|
give the user a chance to edit the log message, even when there is
|
|
otherwise no need to create a new merge and replace the existing
|
|
one (i.e. fast-forward instead), but did not. Which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Code cleanup and futureproof.
|
|
(merge 31f5256c82 ds/object-info-for-prefetch-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* More parameter validation.
|
|
(merge de99eb0c24 es/grep-require-name-when-needed later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git update-server-info" used to leave stale packfiles in its
|
|
output, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge e941c48d49 ew/server-info-remove-crufts later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The server side support for "git fetch" used to show incorrect
|
|
value for the HEAD symbolic ref when the namespace feature is in
|
|
use, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 533e088250 jk/HEAD-symref-in-xfer-namespaces later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git am -i --resolved" segfaulted after trying to see a commit as
|
|
if it were a tree, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 7663e438c5 jk/am-i-resolved-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git bundle verify" needs to see if prerequisite objects exist in
|
|
the receiving repository, but the command did not check if we are
|
|
in a repository upfront, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 3bbbe467f2 js/bundle-verify-require-object-store later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git merge --squash" is designed to update the working tree and the
|
|
index without creating the commit, and this cannot be countermanded
|
|
by adding the "--commit" option; the command now refuses to work
|
|
when both options are given.
|
|
(merge 1d14d0c994 vv/merge-squash-with-explicit-commit later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The data collected by fsmonitor was not properly written back to
|
|
the on-disk index file, breaking t7519 tests occasionally, which
|
|
has been corrected.
|
|
(merge b5a8169752 js/fsmonitor-unflake later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Update to Unicode 12.1 width table.
|
|
(merge 5817f9caa3 bb/unicode-12.1-reiwa later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The command line to invoke a "git cat-file" command from inside
|
|
"git p4" was not properly quoted to protect a caret and running a
|
|
broken command on Windows, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge c3f2358de3 mm/p4-unshelve-windows-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git request-pull" learned to warn when the ref we ask them to pull
|
|
from in the local repository and in the published repository are
|
|
different.
|
|
(merge 0454220d66 pb/request-pull-verify-remote-ref later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* When creating a partial clone, the object filtering criteria is
|
|
recorded for the origin of the clone, but this incorrectly used a
|
|
hardcoded name "origin" to name that remote; it has been corrected
|
|
to honor the "--origin <name>" option.
|
|
(merge 1c4a9f9114 xl/record-partial-clone-origin later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch" into a lazy clone forgot to fetch base objects that are
|
|
necessary to complete delta in a thin packfile, which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
(merge 810e19322d jt/partial-clone-missing-ref-delta-base later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The filter_data used in the list-objects-filter (which manages a
|
|
lazily sparse clone repository) did not use the dynamic array API
|
|
correctly---'nr' is supposed to point at one past the last element
|
|
of the array in use. This has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 7140600e2e md/list-objects-filter-memfix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The description about slashes in gitignore patterns (used to
|
|
indicate things like "anchored to this level only" and "only
|
|
matches directories") has been revamped.
|
|
(merge 1a58bad014 an/ignore-doc-update later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end
|
|
of the string while parsing %-<hex>-<hex> sequence.
|
|
(merge d37dc239a4 md/url-parse-harden later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The list of for-each like macros used by clang-format has been
|
|
updated.
|
|
(merge fc7e03aace mo/clang-format-for-each-update later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
|
|
(merge f547101b26 es/git-debugger-doc later to maint).
|
|
(merge 7877ac3d7b js/bisect-helper-check-get-oid-return-value later to maint).
|
|
(merge 0108f47eb3 sw/git-p4-unshelve-branched-files later to maint).
|
|
(merge 9df8f734fd cm/send-email-document-req-modules later to maint).
|
|
(merge afc3bf6eb1 ab/hash-object-doc later to maint).
