| Git 2.29 Release Notes |
| ====================== |
| |
| Updates since v2.28 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| |
| * "git help log" has been enhanced by sharing more material from the |
| documentation for the underlying "git rev-list" command. |
| |
| * "git for-each-ref --format=<>" learned %(contents:size). |
| |
| * "git merge" learned to selectively omit " into <branch>" at the end |
| of the title of default merge message with merge.suppressDest |
| configuration. |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| |
| * The changed-path Bloom filter is improved using ideas from an |
| independent implementation. |
| |
| * Updates to the changed-paths bloom filter. |
| |
| * The test framework has been updated so that most tests will run |
| with predictable (artificial) timestamps. |
| |
| * Preliminary clean-up of the refs API in preparation for adding a |
| new refs backend "reftable". |
| |
| * Dev support to limit the use of test_must_fail to only git commands. |
| |
| |
| Fixes since v2.28 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * "git clone --separate-git-dir=$elsewhere" used to stomp on the |
| contents of the existing directory $elsewhere, which has been |
| taught to fail when $elsewhere is not an empty directory. |
| (merge dfaa209a79 bw/fail-cloning-into-non-empty later to maint). |
| |
| |
| * With the base fix to 2.27 regresion, any new extensions in a v0 |
| repository would still be silently honored, which is not quite |
| right. Instead, complain and die loudly. |
| (merge ec91ffca04 jk/reject-newer-extensions-in-v0 later to maint). |
| |
| * Fetching from a lazily cloned repository resulted at the server |
| side in attempts to lazy fetch objects that the client side has, |
| many of which will not be available from the third-party anyway. |
| (merge 77aa0941ce jt/avoid-lazy-fetching-upon-have-check later to maint). |
| |
| * Fix to an ancient bug caused by an over-eager attempt for |
| optimization. |
| (merge a98f7fb366 rs/add-index-entry-optim-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * Pushing a ref whose name contains non-ASCII character with the |
| "--force-with-lease" option did not work over smart HTTP protocol, |
| which has been corrected. |
| (merge cd85b447bf bc/push-cas-cquoted-refname later to maint). |
| |
| * "git mv src dst", when src is an unmerged path, errored out |
| correctly but with an incorrect error message to claim that src is |
| not tracked, which has been clarified. |
| (merge 9b906af657 ct/mv-unmerged-path-error later to maint). |
| |
| * Fix to a regression introduced during 2.27 cycle. |
| (merge cada7308ad en/fill-directory-exponential later to maint). |
| |
| * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
| (merge 84544f2ea3 sk/typofixes later to maint). |
| (merge b17f411ab5 ar/help-guides-doc later to maint). |
| (merge 98c6871fad rs/grep-simpler-parse-object-or-die-call later to maint). |
| (merge 861c4ce141 en/typofixes later to maint). |
| (merge 60e47f6773 sg/ci-git-path-fix-with-pyenv later to maint). |
| (merge e2bfa50ac3 jb/doc-packfile-name later to maint). |
