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 v2.16.3 Release Notes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.16.2
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* "git status" after moving a path in the working tree (hence making
|
|
it appear "removed") and then adding with the -N option (hence
|
|
making that appear "added") detected it as a rename, but did not
|
|
report the old and new pathnames correctly.
|
|
|
|
* "git commit --fixup" did not allow "-m<message>" option to be used
|
|
at the same time; allow it to annotate resulting commit with more
|
|
text.
|
|
|
|
* When resetting the working tree files recursively, the working tree
|
|
of submodules are now also reset to match.
|
|
|
|
* Fix for a commented-out code to adjust it to a rather old API change
|
|
around object ID.
|
|
|
|
* When there are too many changed paths, "git diff" showed a warning
|
|
message but in the middle of a line.
|
|
|
|
* The http tracing code, often used to debug connection issues,
|
|
learned to redact potentially sensitive information from its output
|
|
so that it can be more safely shareable.
|
|
|
|
* Crash fix for a corner case where an error codepath tried to unlock
|
|
what it did not acquire lock on.
|
|
|
|
* The split-index mode had a few corner case bugs fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Assorted fixes to "git daemon".
|
|
|
|
* Completion of "git merge -s<strategy>" (in contrib/) did not work
|
|
well in non-C locale.
|
|
|
|
* Workaround for segfault with more recent versions of SVN.
|
|
|
|
* Recently introduced leaks in fsck have been plugged.
|
|
|
|
* Travis CI integration now builds the executable in 'script' phase
|
|
to follow the established practice, rather than during
|
|
'before_script' phase. This allows the CI categorize the failures
|
|
better ('failed' is project's fault, 'errored' is build
|
|
environment's).
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
