Git v2.42 Release Notes
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* "git pack-refs" learns "--include" and "--exclude" to tweak the ref
|
|
hierarchy to be packed using pattern matching.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff-tree" has been taught to take advantage of the
|
|
sparse-index feature.
|
|
|
|
* Clang's sanitizer implementation seems to work better than GCC's.
|
|
(merge d88d727143 jk/ci-use-clang-for-sanitizer-jobs later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.41
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* "git tag" learned to leave the "$GIT_DIR/TAG_EDITMSG" file when the
|
|
command failed, so that the user can salvage what they typed.
|
|
(merge 08c12ec1d0 kh/keep-tag-editmsg-upon-failure later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The "-s" (silent, squelch) option of the "diff" family of commands
|
|
did not interact with other options that specify the output format
|
|
well. This has been cleaned up so that it will clear all the
|
|
formatting options given before.
|
|
(merge 9d484b92ed jc/diff-s-with-other-options later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Update documentation regarding Coccinelle patches.
|
|
(merge 3bd0097cfc gc/doc-cocci-updates later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Some atoms that can be used in "--format=<format>" for "git ls-tree"
|
|
were not supported by "git ls-files", even though they were relevant
|
|
in the context of the latter.
|
|
(merge 4d28c4f75f zh/ls-files-format-atoms later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Document more pseudo-refs and teach the command line completion
|
|
machinery to complete AUTO_MERGE.
|
|
(merge 982ff3a649 pb/complete-and-document-auto-merge-and-friends later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule" code trusted the data coming from the config (and
|
|
the in-tree .gitmodules file) too much without validating, leading
|
|
to NULL dereference if the user mucks with a repository (e.g.
|
|
submodule.<name>.url is removed). This has been corrected.
|
|
(merge fbc806acd1 tb/submodule-null-deref-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The value of config.worktree is per-repository, but has been kept
|
|
in a singleton global variable per process. This has been OK as
|
|
most Git operations interacted with a single repository at a time,
|
|
but not right for operations like recursive "grep" that want to
|
|
access multiple repositories from a single process without forking.
|
|
|
|
The global variable has been eliminated and made into a member in
|
|
the per-repository data structure.
|
|
(merge 3867f6d650 vd/worktree-config-is-per-repository later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git [-c log.follow=true] log [--follow] ':(glob)f**'" used to barf.
|
|
(merge 8260bc5902 jk/log-follow-with-non-literal-pathspec later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
|
|
(merge 51f9d2e563 sa/doc-ls-remote later to maint).
|
|
