Git 2.46.1 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
This release is primarily to merge fixes accumulated on the 'master'
|
|
front to prepare for 2.47 release that are still relevant to 2.46.x
|
|
maintenance track.
|
|
|
|
Fixes since Git 2.46
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout --ours" (no other arguments) complained that the
|
|
option is incompatible with branch switching, which is technically
|
|
correct, but found confusing by some users. It now says that the
|
|
user needs to give pathspec to specify what paths to checkout.
|
|
|
|
* It has been documented that we avoid "VAR=VAL shell_func" and why.
|
|
|
|
* "git add -p" by users with diff.suppressBlankEmpty set to true
|
|
failed to parse the patch that represents an unmodified empty line
|
|
with an empty line (not a line with a single space on it), which
|
|
has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase --help" referred to "offset" (the difference between
|
|
the location a change was taken from and the change gets replaced)
|
|
incorrectly and called it "fuzz", which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git notes add -m '' --allow-empty" and friends that take prepared
|
|
data to create notes should not invoke an editor, but it started
|
|
doing so since Git 2.42, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* An expensive operation to prepare tracing was done in re-encoding
|
|
code path even when the tracing was not requested, which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Perforce tests have been updated.
|
|
|
|
* The credential helper to talk to OSX keychain sometimes sent
|
|
garbage bytes after the username, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* A recent update broke "git ls-remote" used outside a repository,
|
|
which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git config --value=foo --fixed-value section.key newvalue" barfed
|
|
when the existing value in the configuration file used the
|
|
valueless true syntax, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git reflog expire" failed to honor annotated tags when computing
|
|
reachable commits.
|
|
|
|
* A flakey test and incorrect calls to strtoX() functions have been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Follow-up on 2.45.1 regression fix.
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-list ... | git diff-tree -p --remerge-diff --stdin" should
|
|
behave more or less like "git log -p --remerge-diff" but instead it
|
|
crashed, forgetting to prepare a temporary object store needed.
|
|
|
|
* The patch parser in "git patch-id" has been tightened to avoid
|
|
getting confused by lines that look like a patch header in the log
|
|
message.
|
|
|
|
* "git bundle unbundle" outside a repository triggered a BUG()
|
|
unnecessarily, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* The code forgot to discard unnecessary in-core commit buffer data
|
|
for commits that "git log --skip=<number>" traversed but omitted
|
|
from the output, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git verify-pack" and "git index-pack" started dying outside a
|
|
repository, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* A corner case bug in "git stash" was fixed.
|
|
|
|
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
