Git v2.43 Release Notes
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* A message written in olden time prevented a branch from getting
|
|
checked out saying it is already checked out elsewhere, but these
|
|
days, we treat a branch that is being bisected or rebased just like
|
|
a branch that is checked out and protect it. Rephrase the message
|
|
to say that the branch is in use.
|
|
|
|
* Hourly and other schedule of "git maintenance" jobs are randomly
|
|
distributed now.
|
|
|
|
* "git cmd -h" learned to signal which options can be negated by
|
|
listing such options like "--[no-]opt".
|
|
|
|
* The way authentication related data other than passwords (e.g.
|
|
oath token and password expiration data) are stored in libsecret
|
|
keyrings has been rethought.
|
|
|
|
* Update two credential helpers to correctly match which credential
|
|
to erase; they dropped not the ones with stale password.
|
|
|
|
* Git GUI updates.
|
|
|
|
* "git format-patch" learns a way to feed cover letter description,
|
|
that (1) can be used on detached HEAD where there is no branch
|
|
description available, and (2) also can override the branch
|
|
description if there is one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* "git check-attr" has been taught to work better with sparse-index.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.42
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* Overly long label names used in the sequencer machinery are now
|
|
chopped to fit under filesystem limitation.
|
|
(merge ac300bda10 mp/rebase-label-length-limit later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Scalar updates.
|
|
(merge f9a547d3a7 ds/scalar-updates later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Tweak GitHub Actions CI so that pushing the same commit to multiple
|
|
branch tips at the same time will not waste building and testing
|
|
the same thing twice.
|
|
(merge 99fe06cbfd jc/ci-skip-same-commit later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The commit-graph verification code that detects mixture of zero and
|
|
non-zero generation numbers has been updated.
|
|
(merge db6044d762 tb/commit-graph-verify-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git diff -w --exit-code" with various options did not work
|
|
correctly, which is being addressed.
|
|
(merge a64f8b2595 jc/diff-exit-code-with-w-fixes later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* transfer.unpackLimit ought to be used as a fallback, but overrode
|
|
fetch.unpackLimit and receive.unpackLimit instead.
|
|
(merge f3d33f8cfe ts/unpacklimit-config-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The use of API between two calls to require_clean_work_tree() from
|
|
the sequencer code has been cleaned up for consistency.
|
|
(merge a9b5955e07 ob/sequencer-empty-hint-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --no-such-option" and other corner cases around the exit
|
|
status of the "diff" command has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 5cc6b2d70b jk/diff-result-code-cleanup later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
|
|
(merge fd3ba590d8 ws/git-push-doc-grammofix later to maint).
|
|
(merge 5f33a843de ds/upload-pack-error-sequence-fix later to maint).
