Git v2.5.1 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.5
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* Running an aliased command from a subdirectory when the .git thing
|
|
in the working tree is a gitfile pointing elsewhere did not work.
|
|
|
|
* Often a fast-import stream builds a new commit on top of the
|
|
previous commit it built, and it often unconditionally emits a
|
|
"from" command to specify the first parent, which can be omitted in
|
|
such a case. This caused fast-import to forget the tree of the
|
|
previous commit and then re-read it from scratch, which was
|
|
inefficient. Optimize for this common case.
|
|
|
|
* The "rev-parse --parseopt" mode parsed the option specification
|
|
and the argument hint in a strange way to allow '=' and other
|
|
special characters in the option name while forbidding them from
|
|
the argument hint. This made it impossible to define an option
|
|
like "--pair <key>=<value>" with "pair=key=value" specification,
|
|
which instead would have defined a "--pair=key <value>" option.
|
|
|
|
* A "rebase" replays changes of the local branch on top of something
|
|
else, as such they are placed in stage #3 and referred to as
|
|
"theirs", while the changes in the new base, typically a foreign
|
|
work, are placed in stage #2 and referred to as "ours". Clarify
|
|
the "checkout --ours/--theirs".
|
|
|
|
* An experimental "untracked cache" feature used uname(2) in a
|
|
slightly unportable way.
|
|
|
|
* "sparse checkout" misbehaved for a path that is excluded from the
|
|
checkout when switching between branches that differ at the path.
|
|
|
|
* The low-level "git send-pack" did not honor 'user.signingkey'
|
|
configuration variable when sending a signed-push.
|
|
|
|
* An attempt to delete a ref by pushing into a repository whose HEAD
|
|
symbolic reference points at an unborn branch that cannot be
|
|
created due to ref D/F conflict (e.g. refs/heads/a/b exists, HEAD
|
|
points at refs/heads/a) failed.
|
|
|
|
* "git subtree" (in contrib/) depended on "git log" output to be
|
|
stable, which was a no-no. Apply a workaround to force a
|
|
particular date format.
|
|
|
|
* "git clone $URL" in recent releases of Git contains a regression in
|
|
the code that invents a new repository name incorrectly based on
|
|
the $URL. This has been corrected.
|
|
(merge db2e220 jk/guess-repo-name-regression-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Running tests with the "-x" option to make them verbose had some
|
|
unpleasant interactions with other features of the test suite.
|
|
(merge 9b5fe78 jk/test-with-x later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git pull" in recent releases of Git has a regression in the code
|
|
that allows custom path to the --upload-pack=<program>. This has
|
|
been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* pipe() emulation used in Git for Windows looked at a wrong variable
|
|
when checking for an error from an _open_osfhandle() call.
|
|
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
|
|
clean-ups.
