Git 2.28 Release Notes |
|
====================== |
|
|
|
Updates since v2.27 |
|
------------------- |
|
|
|
Backward compatibility notes |
|
|
|
* "feature.experimental" configuration variable is to let volunteers |
|
easily opt into a set of newer features, which use of the v2 |
|
transport protocol is now a part of. |
|
|
|
* It used to be that setting extensions.* configuration variables |
|
alone, while leaving core.repositoryFormatVersion=0, made these |
|
settings effective, which was a wrong thing to do. In version 0, |
|
there was no special meaning in extensions.* configuration |
|
variables. This has been corrected. If you need these repository |
|
extensions to be effective, the core.repositoryFormatVersion |
|
variable needs to be updated to 1 after vetting these extensions.* |
|
variables are set correctly. |
|
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features |
|
|
|
* The commands in the "diff" family learned to honor "diff.relative" |
|
configuration variable. |
|
|
|
* The check in "git fsck" to ensure that the tree objects are sorted |
|
still had corner cases it missed unsorted entries. |
|
|
|
* The interface to redact sensitive information in the trace output |
|
has been simplified. |
|
|
|
* The command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete |
|
options that the "git switch" command takes. |
|
|
|
* "git diff" used to take arguments in random and nonsense range |
|
notation, e.g. "git diff A..B C", "git diff A..B C...D", etc., |
|
which has been cleaned up. |
|
|
|
* "git diff-files" has been taught to say paths that are marked as |
|
intent-to-add are new files, not modified from an empty blob. |
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
|
|
|
* Code optimization for a common case. |
|
(merge 8777616e4d an/merge-single-strategy-optim later to maint). |
|
|
|
* We've adopted a convention that any on-stack structure can be |
|
initialized to have zero values in all fields with "= { 0 }", |
|
even when the first field happens to be a pointer, but sparse |
|
complained that a null pointer should be spelled NULL for a long |
|
time. Start using -Wno-universal-initializer option to squelch |
|
it (the latest sparse has it on by default). |
|
|
|
* "git log -L..." now takes advantage of the "which paths are touched |
|
by this commit?" info stored in the commit-graph system. |
|
|
|
* As FreeBSD is not the only platform whose regexp library reports |
|
a REG_ILLSEQ error when fed invalid UTF-8, add logic to detect that |
|
automatically and skip the affected tests. |
|
|
|
* "git bugreport" learns to report what shell is in use. |
|
|
|
* Support for GIT_CURL_VERBOSE has been rewritten in terms of |
|
GIT_TRACE_CURL. |
|
|
|
* Preliminary clean-ups around refs API, plus file format |
|
specification documentation for the reftable backend. |
|
|
|
* Workaround breakage in MSVC build, where "curl-config --cflags" |
|
gives settings appropriate for GCC build. |
|
|
|
* Code clean-up of "git clean" resulted in a fix of recent |
|
performance regression. |
|
|
|
* Code clean-up in the codepath that serves "git fetch" continues. |
|
|
|
* "git merge-base --is-ancestor" is taught to take advantage of the |
|
commit graph. |
|
|
|
* Rewrite of parts of the scripted "git submodule" Porcelain command |
|
continues; this time it is "git submodule set-branch" subcommand's |
|
turn. |
|
|
|
* The "fetch/clone" protocol has been updated to allow the server to |
|
instruct the clients to grab pre-packaged packfile(s) in addition |
|
to the packed object data coming over the wire. |
|
|
|
* A misdesigned strbuf_write_fd() function has been retired. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.27 |
|
----------------- |
|
|
|
* The "--prepare-p4-only" option of "git p4" is supposed to stop |
|
after replaying one changeset, but kept going (by mistake?) |
|
|
|
* The error message from "git checkout -b foo -t bar baz" was |
|
confusing. |
|
|
|
* Some repositories in the wild have commits that record nonsense |
|
committer timezone (e.g. rails.git); "git fast-import" learned an |
|
option to pass these nonsense timestamps intact to allow recreating |
|
existing repositories as-is. |
|
(merge d42a2fb72f en/fast-import-looser-date later to maint). |
|
|
|
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) tried to complete |
|
"git stash -p" as if it were "git stash push -p", but it was too |
|
aggressive and also affected "git stash show -p", which has been |
|
corrected. |
|
(merge fffd0cf520 vs/complete-stash-show-p-fix later to maint). |
|
|
|
* On-the-wire protocol v2 easily falls into a deadlock between the |
|
remote-curl helper and the fetch-pack process when the server side |
|
prematurely throws an error and disconnects. The communication has |
|
been updated to make it more robust. |
|
|
|
* "git checkout -p" did not handle a newly added path at all. |
|
(merge 2c8bd8471a js/checkout-p-new-file later to maint). |
|
|
|
* The code to parse "git bisect start" command line was lax in |
|
validating the arguments. |
|
(merge 4d9005ff5d cb/bisect-helper-parser-fix later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Reduce memory usage during "diff --quiet" in a worktree with too |
|
many stat-unmatched paths. |
|
(merge d2d7fbe129 jk/diff-memuse-optim-with-stat-unmatch later to maint). |
|
|
|
* The reflog entries for "git clone" and "git fetch" did not |
|
anonymize the URL they operated on. |
|
(merge 46da295a77 js/reflog-anonymize-for-clone-and-fetch later to maint). |
|
|
|
* The behaviour of "sparse-checkout" in the state "git clone |
|
--no-checkout" left was changed accidentally in 2.27, which has |
|
been corrected. |
|
|
|
* Use of negative pathspec, while collecting paths including |
|
untracked ones in the working tree, was broken. |
|
|
|
* The same worktree directory must be registered only once, but |
|
"git worktree move" allowed this invariant to be violated, which |
|
has been corrected. |
|
(merge 810382ed37 es/worktree-duplicate-paths later to maint). |
|
|
|
* The effect of sparse checkout settings on submodules is documented. |
|
(merge e7d7c73249 en/sparse-with-submodule-doc later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Code clean-up around "git branch" with a minor bugfix. |
|
(merge dc44639904 dl/branch-cleanup later to maint). |
|
|
|
* A branch name used in a test has been clarified to match what is |
|
going on. |
|
(merge 08dc26061f pb/t4014-unslave later to maint). |
|
|
|
* An in-code comment in "git diff" has been updated. |
|
(merge c592fd4c83 dl/diff-usage-comment-update later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
|
(merge 2c31a7aa44 jx/pkt-line-doc-count-fix later to maint). |
|
(merge d63ae31962 cb/t5608-cleanup later to maint). |
|
(merge 788db145c7 dl/t-readme-spell-git-correctly later to maint). |
|
(merge 45a87a83bb dl/python-2.7-is-the-floor-version later to maint). |
|
(merge b75a219904 es/advertise-contribution-doc later to maint). |
|
