Git v2.45 Release Notes
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Backward Compatibility Notes
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* Integrate the reftable code into the refs framework as a backend.
|
|
With "git init --ref-format=reftable", hopefully it would be a lot
|
|
more efficient to manage a repository with many references.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout -p" and friends learned that that "@" is a synonym
|
|
for "HEAD".
|
|
|
|
* Variants of vimdiff learned to honor mergetool.<variant>.layout
|
|
settings.
|
|
|
|
* "git reflog" learned a "list" subcommand that enumerates known reflogs.
|
|
|
|
* When a merge conflicted at a submodule, merge-ort backend used to
|
|
unconditionally give a lengthy message to suggest how to resolve
|
|
it. Now the message can be squelched as an advice message.
|
|
|
|
* "git for-each-ref" learned "--include-root-refs" option to show
|
|
even the stuff outside the 'refs/' hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* The code to iterate over refs with the reftable backend has seen
|
|
some optimization.
|
|
|
|
* More tests that are marked as "ref-files only" have been updated to
|
|
improve test coverage of reftable backend.
|
|
|
|
* Some parts of command line completion script (in contrib/) have
|
|
been micro-optimized.
|
|
|
|
* The way placeholders are to be marked-up in documentation have been
|
|
specified; use "_<placeholder>_" to typeset the word inside a pair
|
|
of <angle-brakets> emphasized.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.44
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* "git apply" on a filesystem without filemode support have learned
|
|
to take a hint from what is in the index for the path, even when
|
|
not working with the "--index" or "--cached" option, when checking
|
|
the executable bit match what is required by the preimage in the
|
|
patch.
|
|
(merge 45b625142d cp/apply-core-filemode later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git column" has been taught to reject negative padding value, as
|
|
it would lead to nonsense behaviour including division by zero.
|
|
(merge 76fb807faa kh/column-reject-negative-padding later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git am --help" now tells readers what actions are available in
|
|
"git am --whitespace=<action>", in addition to saying that the
|
|
option is passed through to the underlying "git apply".
|
|
(merge a171dac734 jc/am-whitespace-doc later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git tag --column" failed to check the exit status of its "git
|
|
column" invocation, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 92e66478fc rj/tag-column-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Credential helper based on libsecret (in contrib/) has been updated
|
|
to handle an empty password correctly.
|
|
(merge 8f1f2023b7 mh/libsecret-empty-password-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git difftool --dir-diff" learned to honor the "--trust-exit-code"
|
|
option; it used to always exit with 0 and signalled success.
|
|
(merge eb84c8b6ce ps/difftool-dir-diff-exit-code later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The code incorrectly attempted to use textconv cache when asked,
|
|
even when we are not running in a repository, which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
(merge affe355fe7 jk/textconv-cache-outside-repo-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Remove an empty file that shouldn't have been added in the first
|
|
place.
|
|
(merge 4f66942215 js/remove-cruft-files later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The logic to access reflog entries by date and number had ugly
|
|
corner cases at the boundaries, which have been cleaned up.
|
|
(merge 5edd126720 jk/reflog-special-cases-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* An error message from "git upload-pack", which responds to "git
|
|
fetch" requests, had a trialing NUL in it, which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
(merge 3f4c7a0805 sg/upload-pack-error-message-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Clarify wording in the CodingGuidelines that requires <git-compat-util.h>
|
|
to be the first header file.
|
|
(merge 4e89f0e07c jc/doc-compat-util later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
|
|
