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 v2.13.3 Release Notes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.13.2
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* The "collision detecting" SHA-1 implementation shipped with 2.13.2
|
|
was still broken on some platforms. Update to the upstream code
|
|
again to take their fix.
|
|
|
|
* The 'diff-highlight' program (in contrib/) has been restructured
|
|
for easier reuse by an external project 'diff-so-fancy'.
|
|
|
|
* "git mergetool" learned to work around a wrapper MacOS X adds
|
|
around underlying meld.
|
|
|
|
* An example in documentation that does not work in multi worktree
|
|
configuration has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* The pretty-format specifiers like '%h', '%t', etc. had an
|
|
optimization that no longer works correctly. In preparation/hope
|
|
of getting it correctly implemented, first discard the optimization
|
|
that is broken.
|
|
|
|
* The code to pick up and execute command alias definition from the
|
|
configuration used to switch to the top of the working tree and
|
|
then come back when the expanded alias was executed, which was
|
|
unnecessarily complex. Attempt to simplify the logic by using the
|
|
early-config mechanism that does not chdir around.
|
|
|
|
* "git add -p" were updated in 2.12 timeframe to cope with custom
|
|
core.commentchar but the implementation was buggy and a
|
|
metacharacter like $ and * did not work.
|
|
|
|
* Fix a recent regression to "git rebase -i" and add tests that would
|
|
have caught it and others.
|
|
|
|
* An unaligned 32-bit access in pack-bitmap code has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Tighten error checks for invalid "git apply" input.
|
|
|
|
* The split index code did not honor core.sharedrepository setting
|
|
correctly.
|
|
|
|
* The Makefile rule in contrib/subtree for building documentation
|
|
learned to honour USE_ASCIIDOCTOR just like the main documentation
|
|
set does.
|
|
|
|
* A few tests that tried to verify the contents of push certificates
|
|
did not use 'git rev-parse' to formulate the line to look for in
|
|
the certificate correctly.
|
|
|
|
* After "git branch --move" of the currently checked out branch, the
|
|
code to walk the reflog of HEAD via "log -g" and friends
|
|
incorrectly stopped at the reflog entry that records the renaming
|
|
of the branch.
|
|
|
|
* The rewrite of "git branch --list" using for-each-ref's internals
|
|
that happened in v2.13 regressed its handling of color.branch.local;
|
|
this has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
