Git 2.5 Release Notes
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.4
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* The bash completion script (in contrib/) learned a few options that
|
|
"git revert" takes.
|
|
|
|
* Whitespace breakages in deleted and context lines can also be
|
|
painted in the output of "git diff" and friends with the new
|
|
--ws-error-highlight option.
|
|
|
|
* List of commands shown by "git help" are grouped along the workflow
|
|
elements to help early learners.
|
|
|
|
* "git p4" now detects the filetype (e.g. binary) correctly even when
|
|
the files are opened exclusively.
|
|
|
|
* git p4 attempts to better handle branches in Perforce.
|
|
|
|
* "git p4" learned "--changes-block-size <n>" to read the changes in
|
|
chunks from Perforce, instead of making one call to "p4 changes"
|
|
that may trigger "too many rows scanned" error from Perforce.
|
|
|
|
* More workaround for Perforce's row number limit in "git p4".
|
|
|
|
* Unlike "$EDITOR" and "$GIT_EDITOR" that can hold the path to the
|
|
command and initial options (e.g. "/path/to/emacs -nw"), 'git p4'
|
|
did not let the shell interpolate the contents of the environment
|
|
variable that name the editor "$P4EDITOR" (and "$EDITOR", too).
|
|
This release makes it in line with the rest of Git, as well as with
|
|
Perforce.
|
|
|
|
* A new short-hand <branch>@{push} denotes the remote-tracking branch
|
|
that tracks the branch at the remote the <branch> would be pushed
|
|
to.
|
|
|
|
* "git show-branch --topics HEAD" (with no other arguments) did not
|
|
do anything interesting. Instead, contrast the given revision
|
|
against all the local branches by default.
|
|
|
|
* A replacement for contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir that does not
|
|
rely on symbolic links and make sharing of objects and refs safer
|
|
by making the borrowee and borrowers aware of each other.
|
|
|
|
Consider this as still an experimental feature; its UI is still
|
|
likely to change.
|
|
|
|
* Tweak the sample "store" backend of the credential helper to honor
|
|
XDG configuration file locations when specified.
|
|
|
|
* A heuristic we use to catch mistyped paths on the command line
|
|
"git <cmd> <revs> <pathspec>" is to make sure that all the non-rev
|
|
parameters in the later part of the command line are names of the
|
|
files in the working tree, but that means "git grep $str -- \*.c"
|
|
must always be disambiguated with "--", because nobody sane will
|
|
create a file whose name literally is asterisk-dot-see. Loosen the
|
|
heuristic to declare that with a wildcard string the user likely
|
|
meant to give us a pathspec.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge FETCH_HEAD" learned that the previous "git fetch" could
|
|
be to create an Octopus merge, i.e. recording multiple branches
|
|
that are not marked as "not-for-merge"; this allows us to lose an
|
|
old style invocation "git merge <msg> HEAD $commits..." in the
|
|
implementation of "git pull" script; the old style syntax can now
|
|
be deprecated (but not removed yet).
|
|
|
|
* Filter scripts were run with SIGPIPE disabled on the Git side,
|
|
expecting that they may not read what Git feeds them to filter.
|
|
We however treated a filter that does not read its input fully
|
|
before exiting as an error. We no longer do and ignore EPIPE
|
|
when writing to feed the filter scripts.
|
|
|
|
This changes semantics, but arguably in a good way. If a filter
|
|
can produce its output without fully consuming its input using
|
|
whatever magic, we now let it do so, instead of diagnosing it
|
|
as a programming error.
|
|
|
|
* Instead of dying immediately upon failing to obtain a lock, the
|
|
locking (of refs etc) retries after a short while with backoff.
|
|
|
|
* Introduce http.<url>.SSLCipherList configuration variable to tweak
|
|
the list of cipher suite to be used with libcURL when talking with
|
|
https:// sites.
|
|
|
|
* "git subtree" script (in contrib/) used "echo -n" to produce
|
|
progress messages in a non-portable way.
|
|
|
|
* "git subtree" script (in contrib/) does not have --squash option
|
|
when pushing, but the documentation and help text pretended as if
|
|
it did.
|
|
|
|
* The Git subcommand completion (in contrib/) no longer lists credential
|
|
helpers among candidates; they are not something the end user would
|
|
invoke interactively.
|
|
|
|
* The index file can be taught with "update-index --untracked-cache"
|
|
to optionally remember already seen untracked files, in order to
|
|
speed up "git status" in a working tree with tons of cruft.
|
|
|
|
* "git mergetool" learned to drive WinMerge as a backend.
|
|
|
|
* "git upload-pack" that serves "git fetch" can be told to serve
|
|
commits that are not at the tip of any ref, as long as they are
|
|
reachable from a ref, with uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant
|
|
configuration variable.
|
|
|
|
* "git cat-file --batch(-check)" learned the "--follow-symlinks"
|
|
option that follows an in-tree symbolic link when asked about an
|
|
object via extended SHA-1 syntax, e.g. HEAD:RelNotes that points at
|
|
Documentation/RelNotes/2.5.0.txt. With the new option, the command
|
|
behaves as if HEAD:Documentation/RelNotes/2.5.0.txt was given as
|
|
input instead.
|
|
|
|
Consider this as still an experimental and incomplete feature:
|
|
|
|
- We may want to do the same for in-index objects, e.g.
|
|
asking for :RelNotes with this option should give
|
|
:Documentation/RelNotes/2.5.0.txt, too
|
|
|
|
- "git cat-file --follow-symlinks blob HEAD:RelNotes"
|
|
may also be something we want to allow in the future.
|
|
|
|
* "git send-email" learned the alias file format used by the sendmail
|
|
program (in a simplified form; we obviously do not feed pipes).
|
|
|
|
* Traditionally, external low-level 3-way merge drivers are expected
|
|
to produce their results based solely on the contents of the three
|
|
variants given in temporary files named by %O, %A and %B on their
|
|
command line. Additionally allow them to look at the final path
|
|
(given by %P).
|
|
|
|
* "git blame" learned blame.showEmail configuration variable.
|
|
|
|
* "git apply" cannot diagnose a patch corruption when the breakage is
|
|
to mark the length of the hunk shorter than it really is on the
|
|
hunk header line "@@ -l,k +m,n @@"; one special case it could is
|
|
when the hunk becomes no-op (e.g. k == n == 2 for two-line context
|
|
patch output), and it learned to do so in this special case.
|
|
|
|
* Add the "--allow-unknown-type" option to "cat-file" to allow
|
|
inspecting loose objects of an experimental or a broken type.
|
|
|
|
* Many long-running operations show progress eye-candy, even when
|
|
they are later backgrounded. Hide the eye-candy when the process
|
|
is sent to the background instead.
|
|
(merge a4fb76c lm/squelch-bg-progress later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* "unsigned char [20]" used throughout the code to represent object
|
|
names are being converted into a semi-opaque "struct object_id".
|
|
This effort is expected to interfere with other topics in flight,
|
|
but hopefully will give us one extra level of abstraction in the
|
|
end, when completed.
|
|
|
|
* for_each_ref() callback functions were taught to name the objects
|
|
not with "unsigned char sha1[20]" but with "struct object_id".
|
|
|
|
* Catch a programmer mistake to feed a pointer not an array to
|
|
ARRAY_SIZE() macro, by using a couple of GCC extensions.
|
|
|
|
* Some error messages in "git config" were emitted without calling
|
|
the usual error() facility.
|
|
|
|
* When "add--interactive" splits a hunk into two overlapping hunks
|
|
and then let the user choose only one, it sometimes feeds an
|
|
incorrect patch text to "git apply". Add tests to demonstrate
|
|
this.
|
|
|
|
I have a slight suspicion that this may be
|
|
cf. <7vtzf77wjp.fsf@gitster.siamese.dyndns.org> coming back
|
|
and biting us (I seem to have said "let's run with this and see
|
|
what happens" back then).
|
|
|
|
* More line-ending tests.
|
|
|
|
* An earlier rewrite to use strbuf_getwholeline() instead of fgets(3)
|
|
to read packed-refs file revealed that the former is unacceptably
|
|
inefficient. It has been optimized by using getdelim(3) when
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
* The refs API uses ref_lock struct which had its own "int fd", even
|
|
though the same file descriptor was in the lock struct it contains.
|
|
Clean-up the code to lose this redundant field.
|
|
|
|
* There was a dead code that used to handle "git pull --tags" and
|
|
show special-cased error message, which was made irrelevant when
|
|
the semantics of the option changed back in Git 1.9 days.
|
|
(merge 19d122b pt/pull-tags-error-diag later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Help us to find broken test script that splits the body part of the
|
|
test by mistaken use of wrong kind of quotes.
|
|
(merge d93d5d5 jc/test-prereq-validate later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Developer support to automatically detect broken &&-chain in the
|
|
test scripts is now turned on by default.
|
|
(merge 92b269f jk/test-chain-lint later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Error reporting mechanism used in "refs" API has been made more
|
|
consistent.
|
|
|
|
* "git pull" has more test coverage now.
|
|
|
|
* "git pull" has become more aware of the options meant for
|
|
underlying "git fetch" and then learned to use parse-options
|
|
parser.
|
|
|
|
* Clarify in the Makefile a guideline to decide use of USE_NSEC.
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.4
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.4 in the maintenance
|
|
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
|
|
notes for details).
|
|
|
|
* Git 2.4 broke setting verbosity and progress levels on "git clone"
|
|
with native transports.
|
|
(merge 822f0c4 mh/clone-verbosity-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git add -e" did not allow the user to abort the operation by
|
|
killing the editor.
|
|
(merge cb64800 jk/add-e-kill-editor later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Memory usage of "git index-pack" has been trimmed by tens of
|
|
per-cent.
|
|
(merge f0e7f11 nd/slim-index-pack-memory-usage later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-list --objects $old --not --all" to see if everything that
|
|
is reachable from $old is already connected to the existing refs
|
|
was very inefficient.
|
|
(merge b6e8a3b jk/still-interesting later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "hash-object --literally" introduced in v2.2 was not prepared to
|
|
take a really long object type name.
|
|
(merge 1427a7f jc/hash-object later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase --quiet" was not quite quiet when there is nothing to
|
|
do.
|
|
(merge 22946a9 jk/rebase-quiet-noop later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The completion for "log --decorate=" parameter value was incorrect.
|
|
(merge af16bda sg/complete-decorate-full-not-long later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "filter-branch" corrupted commit log message that ends with an
|
|
incomplete line on platforms with some "sed" implementations that
|
|
munge such a line. Work it around by avoiding to use "sed".
|
|
(merge df06201 jk/filter-branch-use-of-sed-on-incomplete-line later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git daemon" fails to build from the source under NO_IPV6
|
|
configuration (regression in 2.4).
|
|
(merge d358f77 jc/daemon-no-ipv6-for-2.4.1 later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Some time ago, "git blame" (incorrectly) lost the convert_to_git()
|
|
call when synthesizing a fake "tip" commit that represents the
|
|
state in the working tree, which broke folks who record the history
|
|
with LF line ending to make their project portable across platforms
|
|
while terminating lines in their working tree files with CRLF for
|
|
their platform.
|
|
(merge 4bf256d tb/blame-resurrect-convert-to-git later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* 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).
|
|
(merge 84ccad8 jk/init-core-worktree-at-root later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git commit --date=now" or anything that relies on approxidate lost
|
|
the daylight-saving-time offset.
|
|
(merge f6e6362 jc/epochtime-wo-tz later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
(merge ee1c6c3 jk/prune-mtime later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The codepaths that read .gitignore and .gitattributes files have been
|
|
taught 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.
|
|
(merge 27547e5 cn/bom-in-gitignore later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* a few helper scripts in the test suite did not report errors
|
|
correctly.
|
|
(merge de248e9 ep/fix-test-lib-functions-report later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The default $HOME/.gitconfig file created upon "git config --global"
|
|
that edits it had incorrectly spelled user.name and user.email
|
|
entries in it.
|
|
(merge 7e11052 oh/fix-config-default-user-name-section later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git cat-file bl $blob" failed to barf even though there is no
|
|
object type that is "bl".
|
|
(merge b7994af jk/type-from-string-gently later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
(merge 0615173 jc/diff-no-index-d-f later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" moved the "current" command from "todo" to "done" a
|
|
bit too prematurely, losing a step when a "pick" did not even start.
|
|
(merge 8cbc57c ph/rebase-i-redo later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The connection initiation code for "ssh" transport tried to absorb
|
|
differences between the stock "ssh" and Putty-supplied "plink" and
|
|
its derivatives, but the logic to tell that we are using "plink"
|
|
variants were too loose and falsely triggered when "plink" appeared
|
|
anywhere in the path (e.g. "/home/me/bin/uplink/ssh").
|
|
(merge baaf233 bc/connect-plink later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* We have prepended $GIT_EXEC_PATH and the path "git" is installed in
|
|
(typically "/usr/bin") to $PATH when invoking subprograms and hooks
|
|
for almost eternity, but the original use case the latter tried to
|
|
support was semi-bogus (i.e. install git to /opt/foo/git and run it
|
|
without having /opt/foo on $PATH), and more importantly it has
|
|
become less and less relevant as Git grew more mainstream (i.e. the
|
|
users would _want_ to have it on their $PATH). Stop prepending the
|
|
path in which "git" is installed to users' $PATH, as that would
|
|
interfere the command search order people depend on (e.g. they may
|
|
not like versions of programs that are unrelated to Git in /usr/bin
|
|
and want to override them by having different ones in /usr/local/bin
|
|
and have the latter directory earlier in their $PATH).
|
|
(merge a0b4507 jk/git-no-more-argv0-path-munging later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* core.excludesfile (defaulting to $XDG_HOME/git/ignore) is supposed
|
|
to be overridden by repository-specific .git/info/exclude file, but
|
|
the order was swapped from the beginning. This belatedly fixes it.
|
|
(merge 099d2d8 jc/gitignore-precedence later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* There was a commented-out (instead of being marked to expect
|
|
failure) test that documented a breakage that was fixed since the
|
|
test was written; turn it into a proper test.
|
|
(merge 66d2e04 sb/t1020-cleanup later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The "log --decorate" enhancement in Git 2.4 that shows the commit
|
|
at the tip of the current branch e.g. "HEAD -> master", did not
|
|
work with --decorate=full.
|
|
(merge 429ad20 mg/log-decorate-HEAD later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The ref API did not handle cases where 'refs/heads/xyzzy/frotz' is
|
|
removed at the same time as 'refs/heads/xyzzy' is added (or vice
|
|
versa) very well.
|
|
(merge c628edf mh/ref-directory-file later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Multi-ref transaction support we merged a few releases ago
|
|
unnecessarily kept many file descriptors open, risking to fail with
|
|
resource exhaustion. This is for 2.4.x track.
|
|
(merge 185ce3a mh/write-refs-sooner-2.4 later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git bundle verify" did not diagnose extra parameters on the
|
|
command line.
|
|
(merge 7886cfa ps/bundle-verify-arg later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Various documentation mark-up fixes to make the output more
|
|
consistent in general and also make AsciiDoctor (an alternative
|
|
formatter) happier.
|
|
(merge d0258b9 jk/asciidoc-markup-fix later to maint).
|
|
(merge ad3967a jk/stripspace-asciidoctor-fix later to maint).
|
|
(merge 975e382 ja/tutorial-asciidoctor-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The code to read pack-bitmap wanted to allocate a few hundred
|
|
pointers to a structure, but by mistake allocated and leaked memory
|
|
enough to hold that many actual structures. Correct the allocation
|
|
size and also have it on stack, as it is small enough.
|
|
(merge 599dc76 rs/plug-leak-in-pack-bitmaps later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The pull.ff configuration was supposed to override the merge.ff
|
|
configuration, but it didn't.
|
|
(merge db9bb28 pt/pull-ff-vs-merge-ff later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git pull --log" and "git pull --no-log" worked as expected, but
|
|
"git pull --log=20" did not.
|
|
(merge 5061a44 pt/pull-log-n later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rerere forget" in a repository without rerere enabled gave a
|
|
cryptic error message; it should be a silent no-op instead.
|
|
(merge 0544574 jk/rerere-forget-check-enabled later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" fired post-rewrite hook when it shouldn't (namely,
|
|
when it was told to stop sequencing with 'exec' insn).
|
|
(merge 141ff8f mm/rebase-i-post-rewrite-exec later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Clarify that "log --raw" and "log --format=raw" are unrelated
|
|
concepts.
|
|
(merge 92de921 mm/log-format-raw-doc later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Make "git stash something --help" error out, so that users can
|
|
safely say "git stash drop --help".
|
|
(merge 5ba2831 jk/stash-options later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The clean/smudge interface did not work well when filtering an
|
|
empty contents (failed and then passed the empty input through).
|
|
It can be argued that a filter that produces anything but empty for
|
|
an empty input is nonsense, but if the user wants to do strange
|
|
things, then why not?
|
|
(merge f6a1e1e jh/filter-empty-contents later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Communication between the HTTP server and http_backend process can
|
|
lead to a dead-lock when relaying a large ref negotiation request.
|
|
Diagnose the situation better, and mitigate it by reading such a
|
|
request first into core (to a reasonable limit).
|
|
(merge 636614f jk/http-backend-deadlock later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git clean pathspec..." tried to lstat(2) and complain even for
|
|
paths outside the given pathspec.
|
|
(merge 838d6a9 dt/clean-pathspec-filter-then-lstat later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Recent "git prune" traverses young unreachable objects to safekeep
|
|
old objects in the reachability chain from them, which sometimes
|
|
caused error messages that are unnecessarily alarming.
|
|
(merge ce4e7b2 jk/squelch-missing-link-warning-for-unreachable later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The configuration reader/writer uses mmap(2) interface to access
|
|
the files; when we find a directory, it barfed with "Out of memory?".
|
|
(merge 9ca0aaf jk/diagnose-config-mmap-failure later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "color.diff.plain" was a misnomer; give it 'color.diff.context' as
|
|
a more logical synonym.
|
|
(merge 8dbf3eb jk/color-diff-plain-is-context later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The setup code used to die when core.bare and core.worktree are set
|
|
inconsistently, even for commands that do not need working tree.
|
|
(merge fada767 jk/die-on-bogus-worktree-late later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Recent Mac OS X updates breaks the logic to detect that the machine
|
|
is on the AC power in the sample pre-auto-gc script.
|
|
(merge c54c7b3 pa/auto-gc-mac-osx later to maint).
|
|

|
* "git commit --cleanup=scissors" was not careful enough to protect
|
|
against getting fooled by a line that looked like scissors.
|
|
(merge fbfa097 sg/commit-cleanup-scissors later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "Have we lost a race with competing repack?" check was too
|
|
expensive, especially while receiving a huge object transfer
|
|
that runs index-pack (e.g. "clone" or "fetch").
|
|
(merge 0eeb077 jk/index-pack-reduce-recheck later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The tcsh completion writes a bash scriptlet but that would have
|
|
failed for users with noclobber set.
|
|
(merge 0b1f688 af/tcsh-completion-noclobber later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git for-each-ref" reported "missing object" for 0{40} when it
|
|
encounters a broken ref. The lack of object whose name is 0{40} is
|
|
not the problem; the ref being broken is.
|
|
(merge 501cf47 mh/reporting-broken-refs-from-for-each-ref later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Various fixes around "git am" that applies a patch to a history
|
|
that is not there yet.
|
|
(merge 6ea3b67 pt/am-abort-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git fsck" used to ignore missing or invalid objects recorded in reflog.
|
|
(merge 19bf6c9 mh/fsck-reflog-entries later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git format-patch --ignore-if-upstream A..B" did not like to be fed
|
|
tags as boundary commits.
|
|
(merge 9b7a61d jc/do-not-feed-tags-to-clear-commit-marks later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch --depth=<depth>" and "git clone --depth=<depth>" issued
|
|
a shallow transfer request even to an upload-pack that does not
|
|
support the capability.
|
|
(merge eb86a50 me/fetch-into-shallow-safety later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase" did not exit with failure when format-patch it invoked
|
|
failed for whatever reason.
|
|
(merge 60d708b cb/rebase-am-exit-code later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Fix a small bug in our use of umask() return value.
|
|
(merge 3096b2e jk/fix-refresh-utime later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* An ancient test framework enhancement to allow color was not
|
|
entirely correct; this makes it work even when tput needs to read
|
|
from the ~/.terminfo under the user's real HOME directory.
|
|
(merge d5c1b7c rh/test-color-avoid-terminfo-in-original-home later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* A minor bugfix when pack bitmap is used with "rev-list --count".
|
|
(merge c8a70d3 jk/rev-list-no-bitmap-while-pruning later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git config" failed to update the configuration file when the
|
|
underlying filesystem is incapable of renaming a file that is still
|
|
open.
|
|
(merge 7a64592 kb/config-unmap-before-renaming later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Avoid possible ssize_t to int truncation.
|
|
(merge 6c8afe4 mh/strbuf-read-file-returns-ssize-t later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* When you say "!<ENTER>" while running say "git log", you'd confuse
|
|
yourself in the resulting shell, that may look as if you took
|
|
control back to the original shell you spawned "git log" from but
|
|
that isn't what is happening. To that new shell, we leaked
|
|
GIT_PAGER_IN_USE environment variable that was meant as a local
|
|
communication between the original "Git" and subprocesses that was
|
|
spawned by it after we launched the pager, which caused many
|
|
"interesting" things to happen, e.g. "git diff | cat" still paints
|
|
its output in color by default.
|
|
|
|
Stop leaking that environment variable to the pager's half of the
|
|
fork; we only need it on "Git" side when we spawn the pager.
|
|
(merge 124b519 jc/unexport-git-pager-in-use-in-pager later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Abandoning an already applied change in "git rebase -i" with
|
|
"--continue" left CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and confused later steps.
|
|
(merge 0e0aff4 js/rebase-i-clean-up-upon-continue-to-skip later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* We used to ask libCURL to use the most secure authentication method
|
|
available when talking to an HTTP proxy only when we were told to
|
|
talk to one via configuration variables. We now ask libCURL to
|
|
always use the most secure authentication method, because the user
|
|
can tell libCURL to use an HTTP proxy via an environment variable
|
|
without using configuration variables.
|
|
(merge 5841520 et/http-proxyauth later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* A fix to a minor regression to "git fsck" in v2.2 era that started
|
|
complaining about a body-less tag object when it lacks a separator
|
|
empty line after its header to separate it with a non-existent body.
|
|
(merge 84d18c0 jc/fsck-retire-require-eoh later to maint).

* Code cleanups and documentation updates.
