Git v2.6.5 Release Notes
|
||
|
|
========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixes since v2.6.4
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Because "test_when_finished" in our test framework queues the
|
||
|
|
clean-up tasks to be done in a shell variable, it should not be
|
||
|
|
used inside a subshell. Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch
|
||
|
|
such uses, and fix the ones that were found.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Update "git subtree" (in contrib/) so that it can take whitespaces
|
||
|
|
in the pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of
|
||
|
|
the directory that the repository is in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Cosmetic improvement to lock-file error messages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* mark_tree_uninteresting() has code to handle the case where it gets
|
||
|
|
passed a NULL pointer in its 'tree' parameter, but the function had
|
||
|
|
'object = &tree->object' assignment before checking if tree is
|
||
|
|
NULL. This gives a compiler an excuse to declare that tree will
|
||
|
|
never be NULL and apply a wrong optimization. Avoid it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The helper used to iterate over loose object directories to prune
|
||
|
|
stale objects did not closedir() immediately when it is done with a
|
||
|
|
directory--a callback such as the one used for "git prune" may want
|
||
|
|
to do rmdir(), but it would fail on open directory on platforms
|
||
|
|
such as WinXP.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths outside
|
||
|
|
the client spec as empty commits. It has been corrected to ignore
|
||
|
|
them instead, with a new configuration git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a
|
||
|
|
backward compatibility knob.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The exit code of git-fsck did not reflect some types of errors
|
||
|
|
found in packed objects, which has been corrected.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The completion script (in contrib/) used to list "git column"
|
||
|
|
(which is not an end-user facing command) as one of the choices
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Improve error reporting when SMTP TLS fails.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* When getpwuid() on the system returned NULL (e.g. the user is not
|
||
|
|
in the /etc/passwd file or other uid-to-name mappings), the
|
||
|
|
codepath to find who the user is to record it in the reflog barfed
|
||
|
|
and died. Loosen the check in this codepath, which already accepts
|
||
|
|
questionable ident string (e.g. host part of the e-mail address is
|
||
|
|
obviously bogus), and in general when we operate fmt_ident() function
|
||
|
|
in non-strict mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git symbolic-ref" forgot to report a failure with its exit status.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* History traversal with "git log --source" that starts with an
|
||
|
|
annotated tag failed to report the tag as "source", due to an
|
||
|
|
old regression in the command line parser back in v2.2 days.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
|
||
|
|
clean-ups.
