Git v2.7.3 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.7.2
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* Traditionally, the tests that try commands that work on the
|
|
contents in the working tree were named with "worktree" in their
|
|
filenames, but with the recent addition of "git worktree"
|
|
subcommand, whose tests are also named similarly, it has become
|
|
harder to tell them apart. The traditional tests have been renamed
|
|
to use "work-tree" instead in an attempt to differentiate them.
|
|
|
|
* Many codepaths forget to check return value from git_config_set();
|
|
the function is made to die() to make sure we do not proceed when
|
|
setting a configuration variable failed.
|
|
|
|
* Handling of errors while writing into our internal asynchronous
|
|
process has been made more robust, which reduces flakiness in our
|
|
tests.
|
|
|
|
* "git show 'HEAD:Foo[BAR]Baz'" did not interpret the argument as a
|
|
rev, i.e. the object named by the the pathname with wildcard
|
|
characters in a tree object.
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-parse --git-common-dir" used in the worktree feature
|
|
misbehaved when run from a subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
* The "v(iew)" subcommand of the interactive "git am -i" command was
|
|
broken in 2.6.0 timeframe when the command was rewritten in C.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge-tree" used to mishandle "both sides added" conflict with
|
|
its own "create a fake ancestor file that has the common parts of
|
|
what both sides have added and do a 3-way merge" logic; this has
|
|
been updated to use the usual "3-way merge with an empty blob as
|
|
the fake common ancestor file" approach used in the rest of the
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
* The memory ownership rule of fill_textconv() API, which was a bit
|
|
tricky, has been documented a bit better.
|
|
|
|
* The documentation did not clearly state that the 'simple' mode is
|
|
now the default for "git push" when push.default configuration is
|
|
not set.
|
|
|
|
* Recent versions of GNU grep are pickier when their input contains
|
|
arbitrary binary data, which some of our tests uses. Rewrite the
|
|
tests to sidestep the problem.
|
|
|
|
* A helper function "git submodule" uses since v2.7.0 to list the
|
|
modules that match the pathspec argument given to its subcommands
|
|
(e.g. "submodule add <repo> <path>") has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* "git config section.var value" to set a value in per-repository
|
|
configuration file failed when it was run outside any repository,
|
|
but didn't say the reason correctly.
|
|
|
|
* The code to read the pack data using the offsets stored in the pack
|
|
idx file has been made more carefully check the validity of the
|
|
data in the idx.
|
|
|
|
Also includes documentation and test updates.
