Git v2.14.2 Release Notes |
|
========================= |
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.14.1 |
|
------------------- |
|
|
|
* Because recent Git for Windows do come with a real msgfmt, the |
|
build procedure for git-gui has been updated to use it instead of a |
|
hand-rolled substitute. |
|
|
|
* "%C(color name)" in the pretty print format always produced ANSI |
|
color escape codes, which was an early design mistake. They now |
|
honor the configuration (e.g. "color.ui = never") and also tty-ness |
|
of the output medium. |
|
|
|
* The http.{sslkey,sslCert} configuration variables are to be |
|
interpreted as a pathname that honors "~[username]/" prefix, but |
|
weren't, which has been fixed. |
|
|
|
* Numerous bugs in walking of reflogs via "log -g" and friends have |
|
been fixed. |
|
|
|
* "git commit" when seeing an totally empty message said "you did not |
|
edit the message", which is clearly wrong. The message has been |
|
corrected. |
|
|
|
* When a directory is not readable, "gitweb" fails to build the |
|
project list. Work this around by skipping such a directory. |
|
|
|
* A recently added test for the "credential-cache" helper revealed |
|
that EOF detection done around the time the connection to the cache |
|
daemon is torn down were flaky. This was fixed by reacting to |
|
ECONNRESET and behaving as if we got an EOF. |
|
|
|
* Some versions of GnuPG fail to kill gpg-agent it auto-spawned |
|
and such a left-over agent can interfere with a test. Work it |
|
around by attempting to kill one before starting a new test. |
|
|
|
* "git log --tag=no-such-tag" showed log starting from HEAD, which |
|
has been fixed---it now shows nothing. |
|
|
|
* The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who |
|
actually create tag objects, as it interfered with the use of an |
|
editor. A new mechanism has been introduced for commands to enable |
|
pager depending on what operation is being carried out to fix this, |
|
and then "git tag -l" is made to run pager by default. |
|
|
|
* "git push --recurse-submodules $there HEAD:$target" was not |
|
propagated down to the submodules, but now it is. |
|
|
|
* Commands like "git rebase" accepted the --rerere-autoupdate option |
|
from the command line, but did not always use it. This has been |
|
fixed. |
|
|
|
* "git clone --recurse-submodules --quiet" did not pass the quiet |
|
option down to submodules. |
|
|
|
* "git am -s" has been taught that some input may end with a trailer |
|
block that is not Signed-off-by: and it should refrain from adding |
|
an extra blank line before adding a new sign-off in such a case. |
|
|
|
* "git svn" used with "--localtime" option did not compute the tz |
|
offset for the timestamp in question and instead always used the |
|
current time, which has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* Memory leaks in a few error codepaths have been plugged. |
|
|
|
* bash 4.4 or newer gave a warning on NUL byte in command |
|
substitution done in "git stash"; this has been squelched. |
|
|
|
* "git grep -L" and "git grep --quiet -L" reported different exit |
|
codes; this has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* When handshake with a subprocess filter notices that the process |
|
asked for an unknown capability, Git did not report what program |
|
the offending subprocess was running. This has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* "git apply" that is used as a better "patch -p1" failed to apply a |
|
taken from a file with CRLF line endings to a file with CRLF line |
|
endings. The root cause was because it misused convert_to_git() |
|
that tried to do "safe-crlf" processing by looking at the index |
|
entry at the same path, which is a nonsense---in that mode, "apply" |
|
is not working on the data in (or derived from) the index at all. |
|
This has been fixed. |
|
|
|
* Killing "git merge --edit" before the editor returns control left |
|
the repository in a state with MERGE_MSG but without MERGE_HEAD, |
|
which incorrectly tells the subsequent "git commit" that there was |
|
a squash merge in progress. This has been fixed. |
|
|
|
* "git archive" did not work well with pathspecs and the |
|
export-ignore attribute. |
|
|
|
* "git cvsserver" no longer is invoked by "git daemon" by default, |
|
as it is old and largely unmaintained. |
|
|
|
* Various Perl scripts did not use safe_pipe_capture() instead of |
|
backticks, leaving them susceptible to end-user input. They have |
|
been corrected. |
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
|
|
|
Credits go to joernchen <joernchen@phenoelit.de> for finding the |
|
unsafe constructs in "git cvsserver", and to Jeff King at GitHub for |
|
finding and fixing instances of the same issue in other scripts.
