Git v2.9.1 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.9 |
|
---------------- |
|
|
|
* When "git daemon" is run without --[init-]timeout specified, a |
|
connection from a client that silently goes offline can hang around |
|
for a long time, wasting resources. The socket-level KEEPALIVE has |
|
been enabled to allow the OS to notice such failed connections. |
|
|
|
* The commands in `git log` family take %C(auto) in a custom format |
|
string. This unconditionally turned the color on, ignoring |
|
--no-color or with --color=auto when the output is not connected to |
|
a tty; this was corrected to make the format truly behave as |
|
"auto". |
|
|
|
* "git rev-list --count" whose walk-length is limited with "-n" |
|
option did not work well with the counting optimized to look at the |
|
bitmap index. |
|
|
|
* "git show -W" (extend hunks to cover the entire function, delimited |
|
by lines that match the "funcname" pattern) used to show the entire |
|
file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file, |
|
which has been fixed. |
|
|
|
* The documentation set has been updated so that literal commands, |
|
configuration variables and environment variables are consistently |
|
typeset in fixed-width font and bold in manpages. |
|
|
|
* "git svn propset" subcommand that was added in 2.3 days is |
|
documented now. |
|
|
|
* The documentation tries to consistently spell "GPG"; when |
|
referring to the specific program name, "gpg" is used. |
|
|
|
* "git reflog" stopped upon seeing an entry that denotes a branch |
|
creation event (aka "unborn"), which made it appear as if the |
|
reflog was truncated. |
|
|
|
* The git-prompt scriptlet (in contrib/) was not friendly with those |
|
who uses "set -u", which has been fixed. |
|
|
|
* A codepath that used alloca(3) to place an unbounded amount of data |
|
on the stack has been updated to avoid doing so. |
|
|
|
* "git update-index --add --chmod=+x file" may be usable as an escape |
|
hatch, but not a friendly thing to force for people who do need to |
|
use it regularly. "git add --chmod=+x file" can be used instead. |
|
|
|
* Build improvements for gnome-keyring (in contrib/) |
|
|
|
* "git status" used to say "working directory" when it meant "working |
|
tree". |
|
|
|
* Comments about misbehaving FreeBSD shells have been clarified with |
|
the version number (9.x and before are broken, newer ones are OK). |
|
|
|
* "git cherry-pick A" worked on an unborn branch, but "git |
|
cherry-pick A..B" didn't. |
|
|
|
* "git add -i/-p" learned to honor diff.compactionHeuristic |
|
experimental knob, so that the user can work on the same hunk split |
|
as "git diff" output. |
|
|
|
* "log --graph --format=" learned that "%>|(N)" specifies the width |
|
relative to the terminal's left edge, not relative to the area to |
|
draw text that is to the right of the ancestry-graph section. It |
|
also now accepts negative N that means the column limit is relative |
|
to the right border. |
|
|
|
* The ownership rule for the piece of memory that hold references to |
|
be fetched in "git fetch" was screwy, which has been cleaned up. |
|
|
|
* "git bisect" makes an internal call to "git diff-tree" when |
|
bisection finds the culprit, but this call did not initialize the |
|
data structure to pass to the diff-tree API correctly. |
|
|
|
* Formats of the various data (and how to validate them) where we use |
|
GPG signature have been documented. |
|
|
|
* Fix an unintended regression in v2.9 that breaks "clone --depth" |
|
that recurses down to submodules by forcing the submodules to also |
|
be cloned shallowly, which many server instances that host upstream |
|
of the submodules are not prepared for. |
|
|
|
* Fix unnecessarily waste in the idiomatic use of ': ${VAR=default}' |
|
to set the default value, without enclosing it in double quotes. |
|
|
|
* Some platform-specific code had non-ANSI strict declarations of C |
|
functions that do not take any parameters, which has been |
|
corrected. |
|
|
|
* The internal code used to show local timezone offset is not |
|
prepared to handle timestamps beyond year 2100, and gave a |
|
bogus offset value to the caller. Use a more benign looking |
|
+0000 instead and let "git log" going in such a case, instead |
|
of aborting. |
|
|
|
* One among four invocations of readlink(1) in our test suite has |
|
been rewritten so that the test can run on systems without the |
|
command (others are in valgrind test framework and t9802). |
|
|
|
* t/perf needs /usr/bin/time with GNU extension; the invocation of it |
|
is updated to "gtime" on Darwin. |
|
|
|
* A bug, which caused "git p4" while running under verbose mode to |
|
report paths that are omitted due to branch prefix incorrectly, has |
|
been fixed; the command said "Ignoring file outside of prefix" for |
|
paths that are _inside_. |
|
|
|
* The top level documentation "git help git" still pointed at the |
|
documentation set hosted at now-defunct google-code repository. |
|
Update it to point to https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git.html |
|
instead. |
|
|
|
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
