Git 2.32 Release Notes |
|
====================== |
|
|
|
Backward compatibility notes |
|
---------------------------- |
|
|
|
* ".gitattributes", ".gitignore", and ".mailmap" files that are |
|
symbolic links are ignored. |
|
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.31 |
|
------------------- |
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features |
|
|
|
* It does not make sense to make ".gitattributes", ".gitignore" and |
|
".mailmap" symlinks, as they are supposed to be usable from the |
|
object store (think: bare repositories where HEAD:.mailmap etc. are |
|
used). When these files are symbolic links, we used to read the |
|
contents of the files pointed by them by mistake, which has been |
|
corrected. |
|
|
|
* "git stash show" learned to optionally show untracked part of the |
|
stash. |
|
|
|
* "git log --format='...'" learned "%(describe)" placeholder. |
|
|
|
* "git repack" so far has been only capable of repacking everything |
|
under the sun into a single pack (or split by size). A cleverer |
|
strategy to reduce the cost of repacking a repository has been |
|
introduced. |
|
|
|
* The http codepath learned to let the credential layer to cache the |
|
password used to unlock a certificate that has successfully been |
|
used. |
|
|
|
* "git commit --fixup=<commit>", which was to tweak the changes made |
|
to the contents while keeping the original log message intact, |
|
learned "--fixup=(amend|reword):<commit>", that can be used to |
|
tweak both the message and the contents, and only the message, |
|
respectively. |
|
|
|
* When accessing a server with a URL like https://user:pass@site/, we |
|
did not to fall back to the basic authentication with the |
|
credential material embedded in the URL after the "Negotiate" |
|
authentication failed. Now we do. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" learned to honor the core.hooksPath configuration. |
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
|
|
|
* Rename detection rework continues. |
|
|
|
* GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is a mechanism to skip test pieces with |
|
prerequisites to catch broken tests that depend on the side effects |
|
of optional pieces, but did not work at all when negative |
|
prerequisites were involved. |
|
(merge 27d578d904 jk/fail-prereq-testfix later to maint). |
|
|
|
* "git diff-index" codepath has been taught to trust fsmonitor status |
|
to reduce number of lstat() calls. |
|
(merge 7e5aa13d2c nk/diff-index-fsmonitor later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Reorganize Makefile to allow building git.o and other essential |
|
objects without extra stuff needed only for testing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.31 |
|
----------------- |
|
|
|
* The fsmonitor interface read from its input without making sure |
|
there is something to read from. This bug is new in 2.31 |
|
timeframe. |
|
|
|
* The data structure used by fsmonitor interface was not properly |
|
duplicated during an in-core merge, leading to use-after-free etc. |
|
|
|
* "git bisect" reimplemented more in C during 2.30 timeframe did not |
|
take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint well. This regression |
|
has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* Fix macros that can silently inject unintended null-statements. |
|
|
|
* CALLOC_ARRAY() macro replaces many uses of xcalloc(). |
|
|
|
* Update insn in Makefile comments to run fuzz-all target. |
|
|
|
* Fix a corner case bug in "git mv" on case insensitive systems, |
|
which was introduced in 2.29 timeframe. |
|
|
|
* We had a code to diagnose and die cleanly when a required |
|
clean/smudge filter is missing, but an assert before that |
|
unnecessarily fired, hiding the end-user facing die() message. |
|
(merge 6fab35f748 mt/cleanly-die-upon-missing-required-filter later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Update C code that sets a few configuration variables when a remote |
|
is configured so that it spells configuration variable names in the |
|
canonical camelCase. |
|
(merge 0f1da600e6 ab/remote-write-config-in-camel-case later to maint). |
|
|
|
* A new configuration variable has been introduced to allow choosing |
|
which version of the generation number gets used in the |
|
commit-graph file. |
|
(merge 702110aac6 ds/commit-graph-generation-config later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Perf test update to work better in secondary worktrees. |
|
(merge 36e834abc1 jk/perf-in-worktrees later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Updates to memory allocation code around the use of pcre2 library. |
|
(merge c1760352e0 ab/grep-pcre2-allocfix later to maint). |
|
|
|
* "git -c core.bare=false clone --bare ..." would have segfaulted, |
|
which has been corrected. |
|
(merge 75555676ad bc/clone-bare-with-conflicting-config later to maint). |
|
|
|
* When "git checkout" removes a path that does not exist in the |
|
commit it is checking out, it wasn't careful enough not to follow |
|
symbolic links, which has been corrected. |
|
(merge fab78a0c3d mt/checkout-remove-nofollow later to maint). |
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
|
(merge f451960708 dl/cat-file-doc-cleanup later to maint). |
|
(merge 12604a8d0c sv/t9801-test-path-is-file-cleanup later to maint). |
