Git v2.44 Release Notes
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* "git add" and "git stash" learned to support the ":(attr:...)"
|
|
magic pathspec.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase --autosquash" is now enabled for non-interactive rebase,
|
|
but it is still incompatible with the apply backend.
|
|
|
|
* Introduce "git replay", a tool meant on the server side without
|
|
working tree to recreate a history.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge-file" learned to take the "--diff-algorithm" option to
|
|
use algorithm different from the default "myers" diff.
|
|
|
|
* Command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete path
|
|
arguments to the "add/set" subcommands of "git sparse-checkout"
|
|
better.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* Process to add some form of low-level unit tests has started.
|
|
|
|
* Add support for GitLab CI.
|
|
|
|
* "git for-each-ref --no-sort" still sorted the refs alphabetically
|
|
which paid non-trivial cost. It has been redefined to show output
|
|
in an unspecified order, to allow certain optimizations to take
|
|
advantage of.
|
|
|
|
* Simplify API implementation to delete references by eliminating
|
|
duplication.
|
|
|
|
* Subject approxidate() and show_date() machinery to OSS-Fuzz.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.43
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* The way CI testing used "prove" could lead to running the test
|
|
suite twice needlessly, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge e7e03ef995 js/ci-discard-prove-state later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Update ref-related tests.
|
|
|
|
* "git format-patch --encode-email-headers" ignored the option when
|
|
preparing the cover letter, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Newer versions of Getopt::Long started giving warnings against our
|
|
(ab)use of it in "git send-email". Bump the minimum version
|
|
requirement for Perl to 5.8.1 (from September 2002) to allow
|
|
simplifying our implementation.
|
|
(merge 6ff658cc78 tz/send-email-negatable-options later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Earlier we stopped relying on commit-graph that (still) records
|
|
information about commits that are lost from the object store,
|
|
which has negative performance implications. The default has been
|
|
flipped to disable this pessimization.
|
|
(merge b1df3b3867 ps/commit-graph-less-paranoid later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Stale URLs have been updated to their current counterparts (or
|
|
archive.org) and HTTP links are replaced with working HTTPS links.
|
|
(merge 62b4f7b9c6 js/update-urls-in-doc-and-comment later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* trace2 streams used to record the URLs that potentially embed
|
|
authentication material, which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge 16fa3eebc0 jh/trace2-redact-auth later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The sample pre-commit hook that tries to catch introduction of new
|
|
paths that use potentially non-portable characters did not notice
|
|
an existing path getting renamed to such a problematic path, when
|
|
rename detection was enabled.
|
|
(merge d9fd71fa2a jp/use-diff-index-in-pre-commit-sample later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The command line parser for the "log" family of commands was too
|
|
loose when parsing certain numbers, e.g., silently ignoring the
|
|
extra 'q' in "git log -n 1q" without complaining, which has been
|
|
tightened up.
|
|
(merge 71a1e94821 jc/revision-parse-int later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git $cmd --end-of-options --rev -- --path" for some $cmd failed
|
|
to interpret "--rev" as a rev, and "--path" as a path. This was
|
|
fixed for many programs like "reset" and "checkout".
|
|
(merge 9385174627 jk/end-of-options later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git bisect reset" has been taught to clean up state files and refs
|
|
even when BISECT_START file is gone.
|
|
(merge daaa03e54c jk/bisect-reset-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Some codepaths did not correctly parse configuration variables
|
|
specified with valueless "true", which has been corrected.
|
|
(merge d49cb162fa jk/implicit-true later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
|
|
(merge 50f1abcff6 js/packfile-h-typofix later to maint).
|
|
(merge cbf498eb53 jb/reflog-expire-delete-dry-run-options later to maint).
|
|
(merge 7854bf4960 rs/i18n-cannot-be-used-together later to maint).
|
|
(merge cd3c28c53a rs/column-leakfix later to maint).
|
|

|
|
