Git v2.51 Release Notes
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
* Userdiff patterns for the R language have been added.
|
|
|
|
* Documentation for "git send-email" has been updated with a bit more
|
|
credential helper and OAuth information.
|
|
|
|
* "git cat-file --batch" learns to understand %(objectmode) atom to
|
|
allow the caller to tell missing objects (due to repository
|
|
corruption) and submodules (whose commit objects are OK to be
|
|
missing) apart.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --no-index dirA dirB" can limit the comparison with
|
|
pathspec at the end of the command line, just like normal "git
|
|
diff".
|
|
|
|
* "git subtree" (in contrib/) learned to grok GPG signing its commits.
|
|
|
|
* "git whatchanged" that is longer to type than "git log --raw"
|
|
which is its modern rough equivalent has outlived its usefulness
|
|
more than 10 years ago. Plan to deprecate and remove it.
|
|
|
|
* An interchange format for stash entries is defined, and subcommand
|
|
of "git stash" to import/export has been added.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge/pull" has been taught the "--compact-summary" option to
|
|
use the compact-summary format, intead of diffstat, when showing
|
|
the summary of the incoming changes.
|
|
|
|
* "git imap-send" has been broken for a long time, which has been
|
|
resurrected and then taught to talk OAuth2.0 etc.
|
|
|
|
* Some error messages from "git imap-send" has been updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* "git pack-objects" learned to find delta bases from blobs at the
|
|
same path, using the --path-walk API.
|
|
|
|
* CodingGuidelines update.
|
|
|
|
* Add settings for Solaris 10 & 11.
|
|
|
|
* Meson-based build/test framework now understands TAP output
|
|
generated by our tests.
|
|
|
|
* "Do not explicitly initialize to zero" rule has been clarified in
|
|
the CodingGuidelines document.
|
|
|
|
* A test helper "test_seq" function learned the "-f <fmt>" option,
|
|
which allowed us to simplify a lot of test scripts.
|
|
|
|
* A lot of stale stuff has been removed from the contrib/ hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.50
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* A memory-leak in an error code path has been plugged.
|
|
(merge 7082da85cb ly/commit-graph-graph-write-leakfix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* A memory-leak in an error code path has been plugged.
|
|
(merge aedebdb6b9 ly/fetch-pack-leakfix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Some leftover references to documentation source files that no
|
|
longer exist, due to recent ".txt" -> ".adoc" renaming, have been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
(merge 3717a5775a jw/doc-txt-to-adoc-refs later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git stash -p <pathspec>" improvements.
|
|
(merge 468817bab2 pw/stash-p-pathspec-fixes later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git send-email" incremented its internal message counter when a
|
|
message was edited, which made logic that treats the first message
|
|
specially misbehave, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 2cc27b3501 ag/send-email-edit-threading-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git stash" recorded a wrong branch name when submodules are
|
|
present in the current checkout, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge ffb36c64f2 kj/stash-onbranch-submodule-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* When asking to apply mailmap to both author and committer field
|
|
while showing a commit object, the field that appears later was not
|
|
correctly parsed and replaced, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge abf94a283f sa/multi-mailmap-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git maintenance" lacked the care "git gc" had to avoid holding
|
|
onto the repository lock for too long during packing refs, which
|
|
has been remedied.
|
|
(merge 1b5074e614 ps/maintenance-ref-lock later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Avoid regexp_constraint and instead use comparison_constraint when
|
|
listing functions to exclude from application of coccinelle rules,
|
|
as spatch can be built with different regexp engine X-<.
|
|
(merge f2ad545813 jc/cocci-avoid-regexp-constraint later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
