Git v2.7.1 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.7 |
|
---------------- |
|
|
|
* An earlier change in 2.5.x-era broke users' hooks and aliases by |
|
exporting GIT_WORK_TREE to point at the root of the working tree, |
|
interfering when they tried to use a different working tree without |
|
setting GIT_WORK_TREE environment themselves. |
|
|
|
* The "exclude_list" structure has the usual "alloc, nr" pair of |
|
fields to be used by ALLOC_GROW(), but clear_exclude_list() forgot |
|
to reset 'alloc' to 0 when it cleared 'nr' to discard the managed |
|
array. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" was confused by escaped quotes stored in the alias |
|
files saved by "mutt", which has been corrected. |
|
|
|
* A few unportable C construct have been spotted by clang compiler |
|
and have been fixed. |
|
|
|
* The documentation has been updated to hint the connection between |
|
the '--signoff' option and DCO. |
|
|
|
* "git reflog" incorrectly assumed that all objects that used to be |
|
at the tip of a ref must be commits, which caused it to segfault. |
|
|
|
* The ignore mechanism saw a few regressions around untracked file |
|
listing and sparse checkout selection areas in 2.7.0; the change |
|
that is responsible for the regression has been reverted. |
|
|
|
* Some codepaths used fopen(3) when opening a fixed path in $GIT_DIR |
|
(e.g. COMMIT_EDITMSG) that is meant to be left after the command is |
|
done. This however did not work well if the repository is set to |
|
be shared with core.sharedRepository and the umask of the previous |
|
user is tighter. They have been made to work better by calling |
|
unlink(2) and retrying after fopen(3) fails with EPERM. |
|
|
|
* Asking gitweb for a nonexistent commit left a warning in the server |
|
log. |
|
|
|
* "git rebase", unlike all other callers of "gc --auto", did not |
|
ignore the exit code from "gc --auto". |
|
|
|
* Many codepaths that run "gc --auto" before exiting kept packfiles |
|
mapped and left the file descriptors to them open, which was not |
|
friendly to systems that cannot remove files that are open. They |
|
now close the packs before doing so. |
|
|
|
* A recent optimization to filter-branch in v2.7.0 introduced a |
|
regression when --prune-empty filter is used, which has been |
|
corrected. |
|
|
|
* The description for SANITY prerequisite the test suite uses has |
|
been clarified both in the comment and in the implementation. |
|
|
|
* "git tag" started listing a tag "foo" as "tags/foo" when a branch |
|
named "foo" exists in the same repository; remove this unnecessary |
|
disambiguation, which is a regression introduced in v2.7.0. |
|
|
|
* The way "git svn" uses auth parameter was broken by Subversion |
|
1.9.0 and later. |
|
|
|
* The "split" subcommand of "git subtree" (in contrib/) incorrectly |
|
skipped merges when it shouldn't, which was corrected. |
|
|
|
* A few options of "git diff" did not work well when the command was |
|
run from a subdirectory. |
|
|
|
* dirname() emulation has been added, as Msys2 lacks it. |
|
|
|
* The underlying machinery used by "ls-files -o" and other commands |
|
have been taught not to create empty submodule ref cache for a |
|
directory that is not a submodule. This removes a ton of wasted |
|
CPU cycles. |
|
|
|
* Drop a few old "todo" items by deciding that the change one of them |
|
suggests is not such a good idea, and doing the change the other |
|
one suggested to do. |
|
|
|
* Documentation for "git fetch --depth" has been updated for clarity. |
|
|
|
* The command line completion learned a handful of additional options |
|
and command specific syntax. |
|
|
|
Also includes a handful of documentation and test updates.
