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
|
2020-11-21 19:20:35 +01:00
|
|
|
with LF line ending to make their project portable across
|
2020-01-12 00:36:56 +01:00
|
|
|
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.
