Git 2.38.2 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
This is to backport various fixes accumulated during the development |
|
towards Git 2.39, the next feature release. |
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.38.1 |
|
------------------- |
|
|
|
* Update CodingGuidelines to clarify what features to use and avoid |
|
in C99. |
|
|
|
* The codepath that reads from the index v4 had unaligned memory |
|
accesses, which has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* "git remote rename" failed to rename a remote without fetch |
|
refspec, which has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* "git clone" did not like to see the "--bare" and the "--origin" |
|
options used together without a good reason. |
|
|
|
* Fix messages incorrectly marked for translation. |
|
|
|
* "git fsck" failed to release contents of tree objects already used |
|
from the memory, which has been fixed. |
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to a commit |
|
itself, which has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* In read-only repositories, "git merge-tree" tried to come up with a |
|
merge result tree object, which it failed (which is not wrong) and |
|
led to a segfault (which is bad), which has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* Force C locale while running tests around httpd to make sure we can |
|
find expected error messages in the log. |
|
|
|
* Fix a logic in "mailinfo -b" that miscomputed the length of a |
|
substring, which lead to an out-of-bounds access. |
|
|
|
* The codepath to sign learned to report errors when it fails to read |
|
from "ssh-keygen". |
|
|
|
* "GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description" resulted in failure, |
|
which has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* Documentation on various Boolean GIT_* environment variables have |
|
been clarified. |
|
|
|
* "git multi-pack-index repack/expire" used to repack unreachable |
|
cruft into a new pack, which have been corrected. |
|
|
|
* The code to clean temporary object directories (used for |
|
quarantine) tried to remove them inside its signal handler, which |
|
was a no-no. |
|
|
|
* "git branch --edit-description" on an unborh branch misleadingly |
|
said that no such branch exists, which has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* GitHub CI settings have been adjusted to recent reality, merging |
|
and cherry-picking necessary topics that have been prepared for Git |
|
2.39. |
|
|
|
* `git rebase --update-refs` would delete references when all `update-ref` |
|
commands in the sequencer were removed, which has been corrected. |
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
