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.
