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.
|
|
|
|
* "git push --atomic" that goes over the transport-helper (namely,
|
|
the smart http transport) failed to prevent refs to be pushed when
|
|
it can locally tell that one of the ref update will fail without
|
|
having to consult the other end, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git clean" silently skipped a path when it cannot lstat() it; now
|
|
it gives a warning.
|
|
|
|
* A codepath that reads from GPG for signed object verification read
|
|
past the end of allocated buffer, which has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* "git rm" to resolve a conflicted path leaked an internal message
|
|
"needs merge" before actually removing the path, which was
|
|
confusing. This has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* The "git clone" documentation refers to command line options in its
|
|
description in the short form; they have been replaced with long
|
|
forms to make them more recognisable.
|
|
|
|
* The configuration variable rebase.rescheduleFailedExec should be
|
|
effective only while running an interactive rebase and should not
|
|
affect anything when running a non-interactive one, which was not
|
|
the case. This has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule foreach" did not protect command line options passed
|
|
to the command to be run in each submodule correctly, when the
|
|
"--recursive" option was in use.
|
|
|
|
* Use "Erase in Line" CSI sequence that is already used in the editor
|
|
support to clear cruft in the progress output.
|
|
|
|
* The codepath to compute delta islands used to spew progress output
|
|
without giving the callers any way to squelch it, which has been
|
|
fixed.
|
|
|
|
* The code to parse scaled numbers out of configuration files has
|
|
been made more robust and also easier to follow.
|
|
|
|
* An incorrect list of options was cached after command line
|
|
completion failed (e.g. trying to complete a command that requires
|
|
a repository outside one), which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase --abort" used to leave refs/rewritten/ when concluding
|
|
"git rebase -r", which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git stash show 23" used to work, but no more after getting
|
|
rewritten in C; this regression has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git interpret-trailers" always treated '#' as the comment
|
|
character, regardless of core.commentChar setting, which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Code clean-up to avoid signed integer overlaps during binary search.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout -p" needs to selectively apply a patch in reverse,
|
|
which did not work well.
|
|
|
|
* The commit-graph file is now part of the "files that the runtime
|
|
may keep open file descriptors on, all of which would need to be
|
|
closed when done with the object store", and the file descriptor to
|
|
an existing commit-graph file now is closed before "gc" finalizes a
|
|
new instance to replace it.
|
|
|
|
* Code restructuring during 2.20 period broke fetching tags via
|
|
"import" based transports.
|
|
|
|
* We have been trying out a few language features outside c89; the
|
|
coding guidelines document did not talk about them and instead had
|
|
a blanket ban against them.
|
|
|
|
* The internal diff machinery can be made to read out of bounds while
|
|
looking for --funcion-context line in a corner case, which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.
