Git v2.9.4 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.9.3
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at
|
|
the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not
|
|
built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git"
|
|
potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone
|
|
programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that
|
|
calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to
|
|
make it harder to make mistakes.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge" with renormalization did not work well with
|
|
merge-recursive, due to "safer crlf" conversion kicking in when it
|
|
shouldn't.
|
|
|
|
* The reflog output format is documented better, and a new format
|
|
--date=unix to report the seconds-since-epoch (without timezone)
|
|
has been added.
|
|
|
|
* "git push --force-with-lease" already had enough logic to allow
|
|
ensuring that such a push results in creation of a ref (i.e. the
|
|
receiving end did not have another push from sideways that would be
|
|
discarded by our force-pushing), but didn't expose this possibility
|
|
to the users. It does so now.
|
|
|
|
* "import-tars" fast-import script (in contrib/) used to ignore a
|
|
hardlink target and replaced it with an empty file, which has been
|
|
corrected to record the same blob as the other file the hardlink is
|
|
shared with.
|
|
|
|
* "git mv dir non-existing-dir/" did not work in some environments
|
|
the same way as existing mainstream platforms. The code now moves
|
|
"dir" to "non-existing-dir", without relying on rename("A", "B/")
|
|
that strips the trailing slash of '/'.
|
|
|
|
* The "t/" hierarchy is prone to get an unusual pathname; "make test"
|
|
has been taught to make sure they do not contain paths that cannot
|
|
be checked out on Windows (and the mechanism can be reusable to
|
|
catch pathnames that are not portable to other platforms as need
|
|
arises).
|
|
|
|
* When "git merge-recursive" works on history with many criss-cross
|
|
merges in "verbose" mode, the names the command assigns to the
|
|
virtual merge bases could have overwritten each other by unintended
|
|
reuse of the same piece of memory.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout --detach <branch>" used to give the same advice
|
|
message as that is issued when "git checkout <tag>" (or anything
|
|
that is not a branch name) is given, but asking with "--detach" is
|
|
an explicit enough sign that the user knows what is going on. The
|
|
advice message has been squelched in this case.
|
|
|
|
* "git difftool" by default ignores the error exit from the backend
|
|
commands it spawns, because often they signal that they found
|
|
differences by exiting with a non-zero status code just like "diff"
|
|
does; the exit status codes 126 and above however are special in
|
|
that they are used to signal that the command is not executable,
|
|
does not exist, or killed by a signal. "git difftool" has been
|
|
taught to notice these exit status codes.
|
|
|
|
* On Windows, help.browser configuration variable used to be ignored,
|
|
which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* The "git -c var[=val] cmd" facility to append a configuration
|
|
variable definition at the end of the search order was described in
|
|
git(1) manual page, but not in git-config(1), which was more likely
|
|
place for people to look for when they ask "can I make a one-shot
|
|
override, and if so how?"
|
|
|
|
* The tempfile (hence its user lockfile) API lets the caller to open
|
|
a file descriptor to a temporary file, write into it and then
|
|
finalize it by first closing the filehandle and then either
|
|
removing or renaming the temporary file. When the process spawns a
|
|
subprocess after obtaining the file descriptor, and if the
|
|
subprocess has not exited when the attempt to remove or rename is
|
|
made, the last step fails on Windows, because the subprocess has
|
|
the file descriptor still open. Open tempfile with O_CLOEXEC flag
|
|
to avoid this (on Windows, this is mapped to O_NOINHERIT).
|
|
|
|
* "git-shell" rejects a request to serve a repository whose name
|
|
begins with a dash, which makes it no longer possible to get it
|
|
confused into spawning service programs like "git-upload-pack" with
|
|
an option like "--help", which in turn would spawn an interactive
|
|
pager, instead of working with the repository user asked to access
|
|
(i.e. the one whose name is "--help").
|
|
|
|
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
