Git v2.4.3 Release Notes |
|
======================== |
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.4.3 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
* Error messages from "git branch" called remote-tracking branches as |
|
"remote branches". |
|
|
|
* "git rerere forget" in a repository without rerere enabled gave a |
|
cryptic error message; it should be a silent no-op instead. |
|
|
|
* "git pull --log" and "git pull --no-log" worked as expected, but |
|
"git pull --log=20" did not. |
|
|
|
* The pull.ff configuration was supposed to override the merge.ff |
|
configuration, but it didn't. |
|
|
|
* The code to read pack-bitmap wanted to allocate a few hundred |
|
pointers to a structure, but by mistake allocated and leaked memory |
|
enough to hold that many actual structures. Correct the allocation |
|
size and also have it on stack, as it is small enough. |
|
|
|
* Various documentation mark-up fixes to make the output more |
|
consistent in general and also make AsciiDoctor (an alternative |
|
formatter) happier. |
|
|
|
* "git bundle verify" did not diagnose extra parameters on the |
|
command line. |
|
|
|
* Multi-ref transaction support we merged a few releases ago |
|
unnecessarily kept many file descriptors open, risking to fail with |
|
resource exhaustion. |
|
|
|
* The ref API did not handle cases where 'refs/heads/xyzzy/frotz' is |
|
removed at the same time as 'refs/heads/xyzzy' is added (or vice |
|
versa) very well. |
|
|
|
* The "log --decorate" enhancement in Git 2.4 that shows the commit |
|
at the tip of the current branch e.g. "HEAD -> master", did not |
|
work with --decorate=full. |
|
|
|
* There was a commented-out (instead of being marked to expect |
|
failure) test that documented a breakage that was fixed since the |
|
test was written; turn it into a proper test. |
|
|
|
* core.excludesfile (defaulting to $XDG_HOME/git/ignore) is supposed |
|
to be overridden by repository-specific .git/info/exclude file, but |
|
the order was swapped from the beginning. This belatedly fixes it. |
|
|
|
* The connection initiation code for "ssh" transport tried to absorb |
|
differences between the stock "ssh" and Putty-supplied "plink" and |
|
its derivatives, but the logic to tell that we are using "plink" |
|
variants were too loose and falsely triggered when "plink" appeared |
|
anywhere in the path (e.g. "/home/me/bin/uplink/ssh"). |
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" moved the "current" command from "todo" to "done" a |
|
bit too prematurely, losing a step when a "pick" did not even start. |
|
|
|
* "git add -e" did not allow the user to abort the operation by |
|
killing the editor. |
|
|
|
* Git 2.4 broke setting verbosity and progress levels on "git clone" |
|
with native transports. |
|
|
|
* Some time ago, "git blame" (incorrectly) lost the convert_to_git() |
|
call when synthesizing a fake "tip" commit that represents the |
|
state in the working tree, which broke folks who record the history |
|
with LF line ending to make their project portabile across |
|
platforms while terminating lines in their working tree files with |
|
CRLF for their platform. |
|
|
|
* Code clean-up for xdg configuration path support. |
|
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code |
|
clean-ups.
