Git v2.6.3 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.6.2 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
* The error message from "git blame --contents --reverse" incorrectly |
|
talked about "--contents --children". |
|
|
|
* "git merge-file" tried to signal how many conflicts it found, which |
|
obviously would not work well when there are too many of them. |
|
|
|
* The name-hash subsystem that is used to cope with case insensitive |
|
filesystems keeps track of directories and their on-filesystem |
|
cases for all the paths in the index by holding a pointer to a |
|
randomly chosen cache entry that is inside the directory (for its |
|
ce->ce_name component). This pointer was not updated even when the |
|
cache entry was removed from the index, leading to use after free. |
|
This was fixed by recording the path for each directory instead of |
|
borrowing cache entries and restructuring the API somewhat. |
|
|
|
* When the "git am" command was reimplemented in C, "git am -3" had a |
|
small regression where it is aborted in its error handling codepath |
|
when underlying merge-recursive failed in some ways. |
|
|
|
* The synopsis text and the usage string of subcommands that read |
|
list of things from the standard input are often shown as if they |
|
only take input from a file on a filesystem, which was misleading. |
|
|
|
* A couple of commands still showed "[options]" in their usage string |
|
to note where options should come on their command line, but we |
|
spell that "[<options>]" in most places these days. |
|
|
|
* The submodule code has been taught to work better with separate |
|
work trees created via "git worktree add". |
|
|
|
* When "git gc --auto" is backgrounded, its diagnosis message is |
|
lost. It now is saved to a file in $GIT_DIR and is shown next time |
|
the "gc --auto" is run. |
|
|
|
* Work around "git p4" failing when the P4 depot records the contents |
|
in UTF-16 without UTF-16 BOM. |
|
|
|
* Recent update to "rebase -i" that tries to sanity check the edited |
|
insn sheet before it uses it has become too picky on Windows where |
|
CRLF left by the editor is turned into a trailing CR on the line |
|
read via the "read" built-in command. |
|
|
|
* "git clone --dissociate" runs a big "git repack" process at the |
|
end, and it helps to close file descriptors that are open on the |
|
packs and their idx files before doing so on filesystems that |
|
cannot remove a file that is still open. |
|
|
|
* Correct "git p4 --detect-labels" so that it does not fail to create |
|
a tag that points at a commit that is also being imported. |
|
|
|
* The internal stripspace() function has been moved to where it |
|
logically belongs to, i.e. strbuf API, and the command line parser |
|
of "git stripspace" has been updated to use the parse_options API. |
|
|
|
* Prepare for Git on-disk repository representation to undergo |
|
backward incompatible changes by introducing a new repository |
|
format version "1", with an extension mechanism. |
|
|
|
* "git gc" used to barf when a symbolic ref has gone dangling |
|
(e.g. the branch that used to be your upstream's default when you |
|
cloned from it is now gone, and you did "fetch --prune"). |
|
|
|
* The normalize_ceiling_entry() function does not muck with the end |
|
of the path it accepts, and the real world callers do rely on that, |
|
but a test insisted that the function drops a trailing slash. |
|
|
|
* "git gc" is safe to run anytime only because it has the built-in |
|
grace period to protect young objects. In order to run with no |
|
grace period, the user must make sure that the repository is |
|
quiescent. |
|
|
|
* A recent "filter-branch --msg-filter" broke skipping of the commit |
|
object header, which is fixed. |
|
|
|
* "git --literal-pathspecs add -u/-A" without any command line |
|
argument misbehaved ever since Git 2.0. |
|
|
|
* Merging a branch that removes a path and another that changes the |
|
mode bits on the same path should have conflicted at the path, but |
|
it didn't and silently favoured the removal. |
|
|
|
* "git imap-send" did not compile well with older version of cURL library. |
|
|
|
* The linkage order of libraries was wrong in places around libcurl. |
|
|
|
* It was not possible to use a repository-lookalike created by "git |
|
worktree add" as a local source of "git clone". |
|
|
|
* When "git send-email" wanted to talk over Net::SMTP::SSL, |
|
Net::Cmd::datasend() did not like to be fed too many bytes at the |
|
same time and failed to send messages. Send the payload one line |
|
at a time to work around the problem. |
|
|
|
* We peek objects from submodule's object store by linking it to the |
|
list of alternate object databases, but the code to do so forgot to |
|
correctly initialize the list. |
|
|
|
* "git status --branch --short" accessed beyond the constant string |
|
"HEAD", which has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* "git daemon" uses "run_command()" without "finish_command()", so it |
|
needs to release resources itself, which it forgot to do. |
|
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code |
|
clean-ups.
