Git v2.15.1 Release Notes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.15
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* TravisCI build updates.
|
|
|
|
* "auto" as a value for the columnar output configuration ought to
|
|
judge "is the output consumed by humans?" with the same criteria as
|
|
"auto" for coloured output configuration, i.e. either the standard
|
|
output stream is going to tty, or a pager is in use. We forgot the
|
|
latter, which has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* The experimental "color moved lines differently in diff output"
|
|
feature was buggy around "ignore whitespace changes" edges, which
|
|
has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Instead of using custom line comparison and hashing functions to
|
|
implement "moved lines" coloring in the diff output, use the pair
|
|
of these functions from lower-layer xdiff/ code.
|
|
|
|
* Some codepaths did not check for errors when asking what branch the
|
|
HEAD points at, which have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* "git commit", after making a commit, did not check for errors when
|
|
asking on what branch it made the commit, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git status --ignored -u" did not stop at a working tree of a
|
|
separate project that is embedded in an ignored directory and
|
|
listed files in that other project, instead of just showing the
|
|
directory itself as ignored.
|
|
|
|
* A broken access to object databases in recent update to "git grep
|
|
--recurse-submodules" has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* A recent regression in "git rebase -i" that broke execution of git
|
|
commands from subdirectories via "exec" instruction has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* "git check-ref-format --branch @{-1}" bit a "BUG()" when run
|
|
outside a repository for obvious reasons; clarify the documentation
|
|
and make sure we do not even try to expand the at-mark magic in
|
|
such a case, but still call the validation logic for branch names.
|
|
|
|
* Command line completion (in contrib/) update.
|
|
|
|
* Description of blame.{showroot,blankboundary,showemail,date}
|
|
configuration variables have been added to "git config --help".
|
|
|
|
* After an error from lstat(), diff_populate_filespec() function
|
|
sometimes still went ahead and used invalid data in struct stat,
|
|
which has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* UNC paths are also relevant in Cygwin builds and they are now
|
|
tested just like Mingw builds.
|
|
|
|
* Correct start-up sequence so that a repository could be placed
|
|
immediately under the root directory again (which was broken at
|
|
around Git 2.13).
|
|
|
|
* The credential helper for libsecret (in contrib/) has been improved
|
|
to allow possibly prompting the end user to unlock secrets that are
|
|
currently locked (otherwise the secrets may not be loaded).
|
|
|
|
* Updates from GfW project.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" recently started misbehaving when a submodule that
|
|
is configured with 'submodule.<name>.ignore' is dirty; this has
|
|
been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Some error messages did not quote filenames shown in it, which have
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Building with NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT did not disable it, which has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* We used to add an empty alternate object database to the system
|
|
that does not help anything; it has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Error checking in "git imap-send" for empty response has been
|
|
improved.
|
|
|
|
* An ancient bug in "git apply --ignore-space-change" codepath has
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* There was a recent semantic mismerge in the codepath to write out a
|
|
section of a configuration section, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
