Git 2.21 Release Notes |
|
====================== |
|
|
|
Backward Compatibility Notes |
|
---------------------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.20 |
|
------------------- |
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features |
|
|
|
* The "http.version" configuration variable can be used with recent |
|
enough cURL library to force the version of HTTP used to talk when |
|
fetching and pushing. |
|
|
|
* Small fixes and features for fast-export and fast-import, mostly on |
|
the fast-export side. |
|
|
|
* "git push $there $src:$dst" rejects when $dst is not a fully |
|
qualified refname and not clear what the end user meant. The |
|
codepath has been taught to give a clearer error message, and also |
|
guess where the push should go by taking the type of the pushed |
|
object into account (e.g. a tag object would want to go under |
|
refs/tags/). |
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
|
|
|
* Code clean-up with optimization for the codepath that checks |
|
(non-)existence of loose objects. |
|
|
|
* More codepaths become aware of working with in-core repository |
|
instance other than the default "the_repository". |
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.20 |
|
----------------- |
|
|
|
* Updates for corner cases in merge-recursive. |
|
(merge cc4cb0902c en/merge-path-collision later to maint). |
|
|
|
* "git checkout frotz" (without any double-dash) avoids ambiguity by |
|
making sure 'frotz' cannot be interpreted as a revision and as a |
|
path at the same time. This safety has been updated to check also |
|
a unique remote-tracking branch 'frotz' in a remote, when dwimming |
|
to create a local branch 'frotz' out of a remote-tracking branch |
|
'frotz' from a remote. |
|
(merge be4908f103 nd/checkout-dwim-fix later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Refspecs configured with "git -c var=val clone" did not propagate |
|
to the resulting repository, which has been corrected. |
|
(merge 7eae4a3ac4 sg/clone-initial-fetch-configuration later to maint). |
|
|
|
* A properly configured username/email is required under |
|
user.useConfigOnly in order to create commits; now "git stash" |
|
(even though it creates commit objects to represent stash entries) |
|
command is exempt from the requirement. |
|
(merge 3bc2111fc2 sd/stash-wo-user-name later to maint). |
|
|
|
* The http-backend CGI process did not correctly clean up the child |
|
processes it spawns to run upload-pack etc. when it dies itself, |
|
which has been corrected. |
|
(merge 02818a98d7 mk/http-backend-kill-children-before-exit later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
