This also bumps the stable nixpkgs to 20.09 as of 2020-11-21, because there is some breakage in the git build related to the netrc credentials helper which someone has taken care of in nixpkgs. The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this should be fine. Change-Id: I3575a19dab09e1e9556cf8231d717de9890484fb

Git v1.7.0.2 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.0.1
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* GIT_PAGER was not honored consistently by some scripted Porcelains, most
|
|
notably "git am".
|
|
|
|
* updating working tree files after telling git to add them to the
|
|
index and while it is still working created garbage object files in
|
|
the repository without diagnosing it as an error.
|
|
|
|
* "git bisect -- pathspec..." did not diagnose an error condition properly when
|
|
the simplification with given pathspec made the history empty.
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-list --cherry-pick A...B" now has an obvious optimization when the
|
|
histories haven't diverged (i.e. when one end is an ancestor of the other).
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --quiet -w" did not work as expected.
|
|
|
|
* "git fast-import" didn't work with a large input, as it lacked support
|
|
for producing the pack index in v2 format.
|
|
|
|
* "git imap-send" didn't use CRLF line endings over the imap protocol
|
|
when storing its payload to the draft box, violating RFC 3501.
|
|
|
|
* "git log --format='%w(x,y,z)%b'" and friends that rewrap message
|
|
has been optimized for utf-8 payload.
|
|
|
|
* Error messages generated on the receiving end did not come back to "git
|
|
push".
|
|
|
|
* "git status" in 1.7.0 lacked the optimization we used to have in 1.6.X series
|
|
to speed up scanning of large working tree.
|
|
|
|
* "gitweb" did not diagnose parsing errors properly while reading its configuration
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
