Git v2.4.1 Release Notes
|
||
|
|
========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixes since v2.4
|
||
|
|
----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The usual "git diff" when seeing a file turning into a directory
|
||
|
|
showed a patchset to remove the file and create all files in the
|
||
|
|
directory, but "git diff --no-index" simply refused to work. Also,
|
||
|
|
when asked to compare a file and a directory, imitate POSIX "diff"
|
||
|
|
and compare the file with the file with the same name in the
|
||
|
|
directory, instead of refusing to run.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The default $HOME/.gitconfig file created upon "git config --global"
|
||
|
|
that edits it had incorrectly spelled user.name and user.email
|
||
|
|
entries in it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git commit --date=now" or anything that relies on approxidate lost
|
||
|
|
the daylight-saving-time offset.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git cat-file bl $blob" failed to barf even though there is no
|
||
|
|
object type that is "bl".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Teach the codepaths that read .gitignore and .gitattributes files
|
||
|
|
that these files encoded in UTF-8 may have UTF-8 BOM marker at the
|
||
|
|
beginning; this makes it in line with what we do for configuration
|
||
|
|
files already.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Access to objects in repositories that borrow from another one on a
|
||
|
|
slow NFS server unnecessarily got more expensive due to recent code
|
||
|
|
becoming more cautious in a naive way not to lose objects to pruning.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* We avoid setting core.worktree when the repository location is the
|
||
|
|
".git" directory directly at the top level of the working tree, but
|
||
|
|
the code misdetected the case in which the working tree is at the
|
||
|
|
root level of the filesystem (which arguably is a silly thing to
|
||
|
|
do, but still valid).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
|
||
|
|
clean-ups.
