Git v2.0.1 Release Notes |
||||
======================== |
||||
|
||||
* We used to unconditionally disable the pager in the pager process |
||||
we spawn to feed out output, but that prevented people who want to |
||||
run "less" within "less" from doing so. |
||||
|
||||
* Tools that read diagnostic output in our standard error stream do |
||||
not want to see terminal control sequence (e.g. erase-to-eol). |
||||
Detect them by checking if the standard error stream is connected |
||||
to a tty. |
||||
* Reworded the error message given upon a failure to open an existing |
||||
loose object file due to e.g. permission issues; it was reported as |
||||
the object being corrupt, but that is not quite true. |
||||
|
||||
* "git log -2master" is a common typo that shows two commits starting |
||||
from whichever random branch that is not 'master' that happens to |
||||
be checked out currently. |
||||
|
||||
* The "%<(10,trunc)%s" pretty format specifier in the log family of |
||||
commands is used to truncate the string to a given length (e.g. 10 |
||||
in the example) with padding to column-align the output, but did |
||||
not take into account that number of bytes and number of display |
||||
columns are different. |
||||
|
||||
* The "mailmap.file" configuration option did not support the tilde |
||||
expansion (i.e. ~user/path and ~/path). |
||||
|
||||
* The completion scripts (in contrib/) did not know about quite a few |
||||
options that are common between "git merge" and "git pull", and a |
||||
couple of options unique to "git merge". |
||||
|
||||
* "--ignore-space-change" option of "git apply" ignored the spaces |
||||
at the beginning of line too aggressively, which is inconsistent |
||||
with the option of the same name "diff" and "git diff" have. |
||||
|
||||
* "git blame" miscounted number of columns needed to show localized |
||||
timestamps, resulting in jaggy left-side-edge of the source code |
||||
lines in its output. |
||||
|
||||
* "git blame" assigned the blame to the copy in the working-tree if |
||||
the repository is set to core.autocrlf=input and the file used CRLF |
||||
line endings. |
||||
|
||||
* "git commit --allow-empty-message -C $commit" did not work when the |
||||
commit did not have any log message. |
||||
|
||||
* "git diff --find-copies-harder" sometimes pretended as if the mode |
||||
bits have changed for paths that are marked with assume-unchanged |
||||
bit. |
||||
|
||||
* "git format-patch" did not enforce the rule that the "--follow" |
||||
option from the log/diff family of commands must be used with |
||||
exactly one pathspec. |
||||
|
||||
* "git gc --auto" was recently changed to run in the background to |
||||
give control back early to the end-user sitting in front of the |
||||
terminal, but it forgot that housekeeping involving reflogs should |
||||
be done without other processes competing for accesses to the refs. |
||||
|
||||
* "git grep -O" to show the lines that hit in the pager did not work |
||||
well with case insensitive search. We now spawn "less" with its |
||||
"-I" option when it is used as the pager (which is the default). |
||||
|
||||
* We used to disable threaded "git index-pack" on platforms without |
||||
thread-safe pread(); use a different workaround for such |
||||
platforms to allow threaded "git index-pack". |
||||
|
||||
* The error reporting from "git index-pack" has been improved to |
||||
distinguish missing objects from type errors. |
||||
|
||||
* "git mailinfo" used to read beyond the end of header string while |
||||
parsing an incoming e-mail message to extract the patch. |
||||
|
||||
* On a case insensitive filesystem, merge-recursive incorrectly |
||||
deleted the file that is to be renamed to a name that is the same |
||||
except for case differences. |
||||
|
||||
* "git pack-objects" unnecessarily copied the previous contents when |
||||
extending the hashtable, even though it will populate the table |
||||
from scratch anyway. |
||||
|
||||
* "git rerere forget" did not work well when merge.conflictstyle |
||||
was set to a non-default value. |
||||
|
||||
* "git remote rm" and "git remote prune" can involve removing many |
||||
refs at once, which is not a very efficient thing to do when very |
||||
many refs exist in the packed-refs file. |
||||
|
||||
* "git log --exclude=<glob> --all | git shortlog" worked as expected, |
||||
but "git shortlog --exclude=<glob> --all", which is supposed to be |
||||
identical to the above pipeline, was not accepted at the command |
||||
line argument parser level. |
||||
|
||||
* The autostash mode of "git rebase -i" did not restore the dirty |
||||
working tree state if the user aborted the interactive rebase by |
||||
emptying the insn sheet. |
||||
|
||||
* "git show -s" (i.e. show log message only) used to incorrectly emit |
||||
an extra blank line after a merge commit. |
||||
|
||||
* "git status", even though it is a read-only operation, tries to |
||||
update the index with refreshed lstat(2) info to optimize future |
||||
accesses to the working tree opportunistically, but this could |
||||
race with a "read-write" operation that modify the index while it |
||||
is running. Detect such a race and avoid overwriting the index. |
||||
|
||||
* "git status" (and "git commit") behaved as if changes in a modified |
||||
submodule are not there if submodule.*.ignore configuration is set, |
||||
which was misleading. The configuration is only to unclutter diff |
||||
output during the course of development, and should not to hide |
||||
changes in the "status" output to cause the users forget to commit |
||||
them. |
||||
|
||||
* The mode to run tests with HTTP server tests disabled was broken. |
