| Git 2.22.1 Release Notes |
| ======================== |
| |
| Fixes since v2.22 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>" |
| ought to be relative to the directory "git init" gets invoked in, |
| but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been |
| corrected. |
| |
| * "git worktree add" used to fail when another worktree connected to |
| the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * The ownership rule for the file descriptor to fast-import remote |
| backend was mixed up, leading to unrelated file descriptor getting |
| closed, which has been fixed. |
| |
| * "git update-server-info" used to leave stale packfiles in its |
| output, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * The server side support for "git fetch" used to show incorrect |
| value for the HEAD symbolic ref when the namespace feature is in |
| use, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * "git am -i --resolved" segfaulted after trying to see a commit as |
| if it were a tree, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * "git bundle verify" needs to see if prerequisite objects exist in |
| the receiving repository, but the command did not check if we are |
| in a repository upfront, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * "git merge --squash" is designed to update the working tree and the |
| index without creating the commit, and this cannot be countermanded |
| by adding the "--commit" option; the command now refuses to work |
| when both options are given. |
| |
| * The data collected by fsmonitor was not properly written back to |
| the on-disk index file, breaking t7519 tests occasionally, which |
| has been corrected. |
| |
| * Update to Unicode 12.1 width table. |
| |
| * The command line to invoke a "git cat-file" command from inside |
| "git p4" was not properly quoted to protect a caret and running a |
| broken command on Windows, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * "git request-pull" learned to warn when the ref we ask them to pull |
| from in the local repository and in the published repository are |
| different. |
| |
| * When creating a partial clone, the object filtering criteria is |
| recorded for the origin of the clone, but this incorrectly used a |
| hardcoded name "origin" to name that remote; it has been corrected |
| to honor the "--origin <name>" option. |
| |
| * "git fetch" into a lazy clone forgot to fetch base objects that are |
| necessary to complete delta in a thin packfile, which has been |
| corrected. |
| |
| * The filter_data used in the list-objects-filter (which manages a |
| lazily sparse clone repository) did not use the dynamic array API |
| correctly---'nr' is supposed to point at one past the last element |
| of the array in use. This has been corrected. |
| |
| * The description about slashes in gitignore patterns (used to |
| indicate things like "anchored to this level only" and "only |
| matches directories") has been revamped. |
| |
| * The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end |
| of the string while parsing %-<hex>-<hex> sequence. |
| |
| * The list of for-each like macros used by clang-format has been |
| updated. |
| |
| Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
