| Git v2.52 Release Notes |
| ======================= |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * string_list_split*() family of functions have been extended to |
| simplify common use cases. |
| |
| * Arrays of strbuf is often a wrong data structure to use, and |
| strbuf_split*() family of functions that create them often have |
| better alternatives. Update several code paths and replace |
| strbuf_split*(). |
| |
| * Revision traversal limited with pathspec, like "git log dir/*", |
| used to ignore changed-paths Bloom filter when the pathspec |
| contained wildcards; now they take advantage of the filter when |
| they can. |
| |
| Fixes since v2.51 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| Unless otherwise noted, all the changes in 2.51.X maintenance track, |
| including security updates, are included in this release. |
| |
| * During interactive rebase, using 'drop' on a merge commit lead to |
| an error, which was incorrect. |
| (merge 4d491ade8f js/rebase-i-allow-drop-on-a-merge later to maint). |
| |
| * "git refs migrate" to migrate the reflog entries from a refs |
| backend to another had a handful of bugs squashed. |
| (merge 465eff81de ps/reflog-migrate-fixes later to maint). |
| |
| * "git remote rename origin upstream" failed to move origin/HEAD to |
| upstream/HEAD when origin/HEAD is unborn and performed other |
| renames extremely inefficiently, which has been corrected. |
| (merge 16c4fa26b9 ps/remote-rename-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * "git describe" has been optimized by using better data structure. |
| (merge 08bb69d70f rs/describe-with-prio-queue later to maint). |
| |
| * "git push" had a code path that led to BUG() but it should have |
| been a die(), as it is a response to a usual but invalid end-user |
| action to attempt pushing an object that does not exist. |
| (merge dfbfc2221b dl/push-missing-object-error later to maint). |
| |
| * Various bugs about rename handling in "ort" merge strategy have |
| been fixed. |
| (merge f6ecb603ff en/ort-rename-fixes later to maint). |
| |
| * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
| (merge 823d537fa7 kh/doc-git-log-markup-fix later to maint). |
| (merge cf7efa4f33 rj/t6137-cygwin-fix later to maint). |
| (merge 529a60a885 ua/t1517-short-help-tests later to maint). |
