Git 2.43.1 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
There is nothing exciting to see here. Relative to Git 2.43, this
|
|
release contains the fixes that have already been merged to the
|
|
'master' branch of the development towards the next major release.
|
|
|
|
Fixes since Git 2.43.0
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
* The way CI testing used "prove" could lead to running the test
|
|
suite twice needlessly, 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.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* Stale URLs have been updated to their current counterparts (or
|
|
archive.org) and HTTP links are replaced with working HTTPS links.
|
|
|
|
* trace2 streams used to record the URLs that potentially embed
|
|
authentication material, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* "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".
|
|
|
|
* "git bisect reset" has been taught to clean up state files and refs
|
|
even when BISECT_START file is gone.
|
|
|
|
* Some codepaths did not correctly parse configuration variables
|
|
specified with valueless "true", which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Code clean-up for sanity checking of command line options for "git
|
|
show-ref".
|
|
|
|
* The code to parse the From e-mail header has been updated to avoid
|
|
recursion.
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch --atomic" issued an unnecessary empty error message,
|
|
which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to work better
|
|
with the reftable backend.
|
|
|
|
* "git status" is taught to show both the branch being bisected and
|
|
being rebased when both are in effect at the same time.
|
|
cf. <xmqqil76kyov.fsf@gitster.g>
|
|
|
|
* "git archive --list extra garbage" silently ignored excess command
|
|
line parameters, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git sparse-checkout set" added default patterns even when the
|
|
patterns are being fed from the standard input, which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Unlike other environment variables that took the usual
|
|
true/false/yes/no as well as 0/1, GIT_FLUSH only understood 0/1,
|
|
which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Clearing in-core repository (happens during e.g., "git fetch
|
|
--recurse-submodules" with commit graph enabled) made in-core
|
|
commit object in an inconsistent state by discarding the necessary
|
|
data from commit-graph too early, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.
