Git v2.45.3 Release Notes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
This primarily is to backport various small fixes accumulated on the
|
|
'master' front during the development towards Git 2.46, the next
|
|
feature release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.45.2
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* Git-GUI has a new maintainer, Johannes Sixt.
|
|
|
|
* Tests that try to corrupt in-repository files in chunked format did
|
|
not work well on macOS due to its broken "mv", which has been
|
|
worked around.
|
|
|
|
* The maximum size of attribute files is enforced more consistently.
|
|
|
|
* Unbreak CI jobs so that we do not attempt to use Python 2 that has
|
|
been removed from the platform.
|
|
|
|
* Git 2.43 started using the tree of HEAD as the source of attributes
|
|
in a bare repository, which has severe performance implications.
|
|
For now, revert the change, without ripping out a more explicit
|
|
support for the attr.tree configuration variable.
|
|
|
|
* Windows CI running in GitHub Actions started complaining about the
|
|
order of arguments given to calloc(); the imported regex code uses
|
|
the wrong order almost consistently, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* The SubmittingPatches document now refers folks to manpages
|
|
translation project.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase --signoff" used to forget that it needs to add a
|
|
sign-off to the resulting commit when told to continue after a
|
|
conflict stops its operation.
|
|
|
|
* The procedure to build multi-pack-index got confused by the
|
|
replace-refs mechanism, which has been corrected by disabling the
|
|
latter.
|
|
|
|
* "git stash -S" did not handle binary files correctly, which has
|
|
been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* A scheduled "git maintenance" job is expected to work on all
|
|
repositories it knows about, but it stopped at the first one that
|
|
errored out. Now it keeps going.
|
|
|
|
* zsh can pretend to be a normal shell pretty well except for some
|
|
glitches that we tickle in some of our scripts. Work them around
|
|
so that "vimdiff" and our test suite works well enough with it.
|
|
|
|
* Command line completion support for zsh (in contrib/) has been
|
|
updated to stop exposing internal state to end-user shell
|
|
interaction.
|
|
|
|
* The documentation for "git diff --name-only" has been clarified
|
|
that it is about showing the names in the post-image tree.
|
|
|
|
* The chainlint script (invoked during "make test") did nothing when
|
|
it failed to detect the number of available CPUs. It now falls
|
|
back to 1 CPU to avoid the problem.
|
|
|
|
* "git init" in an already created directory, when the user
|
|
configuration has includeif.onbranch, started to fail recently,
|
|
which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* The safe.directory configuration knob has been updated to
|
|
optionally allow leading path matches.
|
|
|
|
* An overly large ".gitignore" files are now rejected silently.
|
|
|
|
* Fix for an embarrassing typo that prevented Python2 tests from running
|
|
anywhere.
|
|
|
|
* Varargs functions that are unannotated as printf-like or execl-like
|
|
have been annotated as such.
|
|
|
|
* The "-k" and "--rfc" options of "format-patch" will now error out
|
|
when used together, as one tells us not to add anything to the
|
|
title of the commit, and the other one tells us to add "RFC" in
|
|
addition to "PATCH".
|
|
|
|
* When the user adds to "git rebase -i" instruction to "pick" a merge
|
|
commit, the error experience is not pleasant. Such an error is now
|
|
caught earlier in the process that parses the todo list.
|
|
|
|
* We forgot to normalize the result of getcwd() to NFC on macOS where
|
|
all other paths are normalized, which has been corrected. This still
|
|
does not address the case where core.precomposeUnicode configuration
|
|
is not defined globally.
|
|
|
|
* Earlier we stopped using the tree of HEAD as the default source of
|
|
attributes in a bare repository, but failed to document it. This
|
|
has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* An unused extern declaration for mingw has been removed to prevent
|
|
it from causing build failure.
|
|
|
|
* A helper function shared between two tests had a copy-paste bug,
|
|
which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch-pack -k -k" without passing "--lock-pack" (which we
|
|
never do ourselves) did not work at all, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
