| Git v2.19.2 Release Notes
 | |
| =========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fixes since v2.19.1
 | |
| -------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git interpret-trailers" and its underlying machinery had a buggy
 | |
|    code that attempted to ignore patch text after commit log message,
 | |
|    which triggered in various codepaths that will always get the log
 | |
|    message alone and never get such an input.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git rebase -i" did not clear the state files correctly when a run
 | |
|    of "squash/fixup" is aborted and then the user manually amended the
 | |
|    commit instead, which has been corrected.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * When fsmonitor is in use, after operation on submodules updates
 | |
|    .gitmodules, we lost track of the fact that we did so and relied on
 | |
|    stale fsmonitor data.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Fix for a long-standing bug that leaves the index file corrupt when
 | |
|    it shrinks during a partial commit.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Further fix for O_APPEND emulation on Windows
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * A corner case bugfix in "git rerere" code.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git add ':(attr:foo)'" is not supported and is supposed to be
 | |
|    rejected while the command line arguments are parsed, but we fail
 | |
|    to reject such a command line upfront.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git rebase" etc. in Git 2.19 fails to abort when given an empty
 | |
|    commit log message as result of editing, which has been corrected.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The code to backfill objects in lazily cloned repository did not
 | |
|    work correctly, which has been corrected.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Update error messages given by "git remote" and make them consistent.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git update-ref" learned to make both "--no-deref" and "--stdin"
 | |
|    work at the same time.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Recently added "range-diff" had a corner-case bug to cause it
 | |
|    segfault, which has been corrected.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The recently introduced commit-graph auxiliary data is incompatible
 | |
|    with mechanisms such as replace & grafts that "breaks" immutable
 | |
|    nature of the object reference relationship.  Disable optimizations
 | |
|    based on its use (and updating existing commit-graph) when these
 | |
|    incompatible features are in use in the repository.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The mailmap file update.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The code in "git status" sometimes hit an assertion failure.  This
 | |
|    was caused by a structure that was reused without cleaning the data
 | |
|    used for the first run, which has been corrected.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * A corner-case bugfix.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * A partial clone that is configured to lazily fetch missing objects
 | |
|    will on-demand issue a "git fetch" request to the originating
 | |
|    repository to fill not-yet-obtained objects.  The request has been
 | |
|    optimized for requesting a tree object (and not the leaf blob
 | |
|    objects contained in it) by telling the originating repository that
 | |
|    no blobs are needed.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The codepath to support the experimental split-index mode had
 | |
|    remaining "racily clean" issues fixed.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git log --graph" showing an octopus merge sometimes miscounted the
 | |
|    number of display columns it is consuming to show the merge and its
 | |
|    parent commits, which has been corrected.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The implementation of run_command() API on the UNIX platforms had a
 | |
|    bug that caused a command not on $PATH to be found in the current
 | |
|    directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * A mutex used in "git pack-objects" were not correctly initialized
 | |
|    and this caused "git repack" to dump core on Windows.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Under certain circumstances, "git diff D:/a/b/c D:/a/b/d" on
 | |
|    Windows would strip initial parts from the paths because they
 | |
|    were not recognized as absolute, which has been corrected.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead codepath kicked in even
 | |
|    when the push should have been rejected due to other reasons, such
 | |
|    as it does not fast-forward or the update-hook rejects it, which
 | |
|    has been corrected.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git repack" in a shallow clone did not correctly update the
 | |
|    shallow points in the repository, leading to a repository that
 | |
|    does not pass fsck.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Operations on promisor objects make sense in the context of only a
 | |
|    small subset of the commands that internally use the revisions
 | |
|    machinery, but the "--exclude-promisor-objects" option were taken
 | |
|    and led to nonsense results by commands like "log", to which it
 | |
|    didn't make much sense.  This has been corrected.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The "container" mode of TravisCI is going away.  Our .travis.yml
 | |
|    file is getting prepared for the transition.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Our test scripts can now take the '-V' option as a synonym for the
 | |
|    '--verbose-log' option.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * A regression in Git 2.12 era made "git fsck" fall into an infinite
 | |
|    loop while processing truncated loose objects.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
