Git 2.27 Release Notes |
|
====================== |
|
|
|
Updates since v2.26 |
|
------------------- |
|
|
|
Backward compatibility notes |
|
|
|
* When "git describe C" finds that commit C is pointed by a signed or |
|
annotated tag, which records T as its tagname in the object, the |
|
command gives T as its answer. Even if the user renames or moves |
|
such a tag from its natural location in the "refs/tags/" hierarchy, |
|
"git describe C" would still give T as the answer, but in such a |
|
case "git show T^0" would no longer work as expected. There may be |
|
nothing at "refs/tags/T" or even worse there may be a different tag |
|
instead. |
|
|
|
Starting from this version, "git describe" will always use the |
|
"long" version, as if the "--long" option were given, when giving |
|
its output based on such a misplaced tag to work around the problem. |
|
|
|
* "git pull" issues a warning message until the pull.rebase |
|
configuration variable is explicitly given, which some existing |
|
users may find annoying---those who prefer not to rebase need to |
|
set the variable to false to squelch the warning. |
|
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features |
|
|
|
* A handful of options to configure SSL when talking to proxies have |
|
been added. |
|
|
|
* Smudge/clean conversion filters are now given more information |
|
(e.g. the object of the tree-ish in which the blob being converted |
|
appears, in addition to its path, which has already been given). |
|
|
|
* When "git describe C" finds an annotated tag with tagname A to be |
|
the best name to explain commit C, and the tag is stored in a |
|
"wrong" place in the refs/tags hierarchy, e.g. refs/tags/B, the |
|
command gave a warning message but used A (not B) to describe C. |
|
If C is exactly at the tag, the describe output would be "A", but |
|
"git rev-parse A^0" would not be equal as "git rev-parse C^0". The |
|
behavior of the command has been changed to use the "long" form |
|
i.e. A-0-gOBJECTNAME, which is correctly interpreted by rev-parse. |
|
|
|
* "git pull" learned to warn when no pull.rebase configuration |
|
exists, and neither --[no-]rebase nor --ff-only is given (which |
|
would result a merge). |
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
|
|
|
* The advise API has been revamped to allow more systematic enumeration of |
|
advice knobs in the future. |
|
|
|
* SHA-256 transition continues. |
|
|
|
* The code to interface with GnuPG has been refactored. |
|
|
|
* "git stash" has kept an escape hatch to use the scripted version |
|
for a few releases, which got stale. It has been removed. |
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.26 |
|
----------------- |
|
|
|
* The real_path() convenience function can easily be misused; with a |
|
bit of code refactoring in the callers' side, its use has been |
|
eliminated. |
|
(merge 49d3c4b481 am/real-path-fix later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Update "git p4" to work with Python 3. |
|
(merge 6bb40ed20a yz/p4-py3 later to maint). |
|
|
|
* The mechanism to prevent "git commit" from making an empty commit |
|
or amending during an interrupted cherry-pick was broken during the |
|
rewrite of "git rebase" in C, which has been corrected. |
|
(merge 430b75f720 pw/advise-rebase-skip later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Fix "git checkout --recurse-submodules" of a nested submodule |
|
hierarchy. |
|
(merge 846f34d351 pb/recurse-submodules-fix later to maint). |
|
|
|
* The "--fork-point" mode of "git rebase" regressed when the command |
|
was rewritten in C back in 2.20 era, which has been corrected. |
|
(merge f08132f889 at/rebase-fork-point-regression-fix later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
|
(merge 564956f358 jc/maintain-doc later to maint). |
|
