Git v2.5.2 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.5.1 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
* "git init empty && git -C empty log" said "bad default revision 'HEAD'", |
|
which was found to be a bit confusing to new users. |
|
|
|
* The "interpret-trailers" helper mistook a multi-paragraph title of |
|
a commit log message with a colon in it as the end of the trailer |
|
block. |
|
|
|
* When re-priming the cache-tree opportunistically while committing |
|
the in-core index as-is, we mistakenly invalidated the in-core |
|
index too aggressively, causing the experimental split-index code |
|
to unnecessarily rewrite the on-disk index file(s). |
|
|
|
* "git archive" did not use zip64 extension when creating an archive |
|
with more than 64k entries, which nobody should need, right ;-)? |
|
|
|
* The code in "multiple-worktree" support that attempted to recover |
|
from an inconsistent state updated an incorrect file. |
|
|
|
* "git rev-list" does not take "--notes" option, but did not complain |
|
when one is given. |
|
|
|
* Because the configuration system does not allow "alias.0foo" and |
|
"pager.0foo" as the configuration key, the user cannot use '0foo' |
|
as a custom command name anyway, but "git 0foo" tried to look these |
|
keys up and emitted useless warnings before saying '0foo is not a |
|
git command'. These warning messages have been squelched. |
|
|
|
* We recently rewrote one of the build scripts in Perl, which made it |
|
necessary to have Perl to build Git. Reduced Perl dependency by |
|
rewriting it again using sed. |
|
|
|
* t1509 test that requires a dedicated VM environment had some |
|
bitrot, which has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* strbuf_read() used to have one extra iteration (and an unnecessary |
|
strbuf_grow() of 8kB), which was eliminated. |
|
|
|
* The codepath to produce error messages had a hard-coded limit to |
|
the size of the message, primarily to avoid memory allocation while |
|
calling die(). |
|
|
|
* When trying to see that an object does not exist, a state errno |
|
leaked from our "first try to open a packfile with O_NOATIME and |
|
then if it fails retry without it" logic on a system that refuses |
|
O_NOATIME. This confused us and caused us to die, saying that the |
|
packfile is unreadable, when we should have just reported that the |
|
object does not exist in that packfile to the caller. |
|
|
|
* An off-by-one error made "git remote" to mishandle a remote with a |
|
single letter nickname. |
|
|
|
* A handful of codepaths that used to use fixed-sized arrays to hold |
|
pathnames have been corrected to use strbuf and other mechanisms to |
|
allow longer pathnames without fearing overflows. |
|
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code |
|
clean-ups.
