| Git 2.25 Release Notes |
| ====================== |
| |
| Updates since v2.24 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward compatibility notes |
| |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| |
| * A tutorial on object enumeration has been added. |
| |
| * The branch description ("git branch --edit-description") has been |
| used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch |
| command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be |
| filled. |
| |
| * "git rebase --preserve-merges" has been marked as deprecated; this |
| release stops advertising it in the "git rebase -h" output. |
| |
| * The code to generate multi-pack index learned to show (or not to |
| show) progress indicators. |
| |
| * "git apply --3way" learned to honor merge.conflictStyle |
| configuration variable, like merges would. |
| |
| * The custom format for "git log --format=<format>" learned the l/L |
| placeholder that is similar to e/E that fills in the e-mail |
| address, but only the local part on the left side of '@'. |
| |
| * Documentation pages for "git shortlog" now list commit limiting |
| options explicitly. |
| |
| * The patterns to detect function boundary for Elixir language has |
| been added. |
| |
| * The completion script (in contrib/) learned that the "--onto" |
| option of "git rebase" can take its argument as the value of the |
| option. |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| |
| * Debugging support for lazy cloning has been a bit improved. |
| |
| * Move the definition of a set of bitmask constants from 0ctal |
| literal to (1U<<count) notation. |
| |
| * Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues. |
| |
| * Crufty code and logic accumulated over time around the object |
| parsing and low-level object access used in "git fsck" have been |
| cleaned up. |
| |
| * The implementation of "git log --graph" got refactored and then its |
| output got simplified. |
| |
| * Follow recent push to move API docs from Documentation/ to header |
| files and update config.h |
| |
| * "git bundle" has been taught to use the parse options API. "git |
| bundle verify" learned "--quiet" and "git bundle create" learned |
| options to control the progress output. |
| |
| * Handling of commit objects that use non UTF-8 encoding during |
| "rebase -i" has been improved. |
| |
| |
| Fixes since v2.24 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * "rebase -i" ceased to run post-commit hook by mistake in an earlier |
| update, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * "git notes copy $original" ought to copy the notes attached to the |
| original object to HEAD, but a mistaken tightening to command line |
| parameter validation made earlier disabled that feature by mistake. |
| |
| * When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root |
| directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that |
| as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has |
| been corrected. |
| |
| * Code clean-up and a bugfix in the logic used to tell worktree local |
| and repository global refs apart. |
| (merge f45f88b2e4 sg/dir-trie-fixes later to maint). |
| |
| * "git stash save" in a working tree that is sparsely checked out |
| mistakenly removed paths that are outside the area of interest. |
| (merge 4a58c3d7f7 js/update-index-ignore-removal-for-skip-worktree later to maint). |
| |
| * "git rev-parse --git-path HEAD.lock" did not give the right path |
| when run in a secondary worktree. |
| (merge 76a53d640f js/git-path-head-dot-lock-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * "git merge --no-commit" needs "--no-ff" if you do not want to move |
| HEAD, which has been corrected in the manual page for "git bisect". |
| (merge 8dd327b246 ma/bisect-doc-sample-update later to maint). |
| |
| * "git worktree add" internally calls "reset --hard" that should not |
| descend into submodules, even when submodule.recurse configuration |
| is set, but it was affected. This has been corrected. |
| (merge 4782cf2ab6 pb/no-recursive-reset-hard-in-worktree-add later to maint). |
| |
| * Messages from die() etc. can be mixed up from multiple processes |
| without even line buffering on Windows, which has been worked |
| around. |
| (merge 116d1fa6c6 js/vreportf-wo-buffering later to maint). |
| |
| * HTTP transport had possible allocator/deallocator mismatch, which |
| has been corrected. |
| |
| * The watchman integration for fsmonitor was racy, which has been |
| corrected to be more conservative. |
| (merge dd0b61f577 kw/fsmonitor-watchman-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * Fetching from multiple remotes into the same repository in parallel |
| had a bad interaction with the recent change to (optionally) update |
| the commit-graph after a fetch job finishes, as these parallel |
| fetches compete with each other. Which has been corrected. |
| |
| * Recent update to "git stash pop" made the command empty the index |
| when run with the "--quiet" option, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * "git fetch" codepath had a big "do not lazily fetch missing objects |
| when I ask if something exists" switch. This has been corrected by |
| marking the "does this thing exist?" calls with "if not please do not |
| lazily fetch it" flag. |
| |
| * Test update to avoid wasted cycles. |
| (merge e0316695ec sg/skip-skipped-prereq later to maint). |
| |
| * Error handling after "git push" finishes sending the packdata and |
| waits for the response to the remote side has been improved. |
| (merge ad7a403268 jk/send-pack-remote-failure later to maint). |
| |
| * Some codepaths in "gitweb" that forgot to escape URLs generated |
| based on end-user input have been corrected. |
| (merge a376e37b2c jk/gitweb-anti-xss later to maint). |
| |
| * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
| (merge 80736d7c5e jc/am-show-current-patch-docfix later to maint). |
| (merge 8b656572ca sg/commit-graph-usage-fix later to maint). |
