Git v2.5.2 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.5.1
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* "git init empty && git -C empty log" said "bad default revision 'HEAD'",
|
|
which was found to be a bit confusing to new users.
|
|
|
|
* The "interpret-trailers" helper mistook a multi-paragraph title of
|
|
a commit log message with a colon in it as the end of the trailer
|
|
block.
|
|
|
|
* When re-priming the cache-tree opportunistically while committing
|
|
the in-core index as-is, we mistakenly invalidated the in-core
|
|
index too aggressively, causing the experimental split-index code
|
|
to unnecessarily rewrite the on-disk index file(s).
|
|
|
|
* "git archive" did not use zip64 extension when creating an archive
|
|
with more than 64k entries, which nobody should need, right ;-)?
|
|
|
|
* The code in "multiple-worktree" support that attempted to recover
|
|
from an inconsistent state updated an incorrect file.
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-list" does not take "--notes" option, but did not complain
|
|
when one is given.
|
|
|
|
* Because the configuration system does not allow "alias.0foo" and
|
|
"pager.0foo" as the configuration key, the user cannot use '0foo'
|
|
as a custom command name anyway, but "git 0foo" tried to look these
|
|
keys up and emitted useless warnings before saying '0foo is not a
|
|
git command'. These warning messages have been squelched.
|
|
|
|
* We recently rewrote one of the build scripts in Perl, which made it
|
|
necessary to have Perl to build Git. Reduced Perl dependency by
|
|
rewriting it again using sed.
|
|
|
|
* t1509 test that requires a dedicated VM environment had some
|
|
bitrot, which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* strbuf_read() used to have one extra iteration (and an unnecessary
|
|
strbuf_grow() of 8kB), which was eliminated.
|
|
|
|
* The codepath to produce error messages had a hard-coded limit to
|
|
the size of the message, primarily to avoid memory allocation while
|
|
calling die().
|
|
|
|
* When trying to see that an object does not exist, a state errno
|
|
leaked from our "first try to open a packfile with O_NOATIME and
|
|
then if it fails retry without it" logic on a system that refuses
|
|
O_NOATIME. This confused us and caused us to die, saying that the
|
|
packfile is unreadable, when we should have just reported that the
|
|
object does not exist in that packfile to the caller.
|
|
|
|
* An off-by-one error made "git remote" to mishandle a remote with a
|
|
single letter nickname.
|
|
|
|
* A handful of codepaths that used to use fixed-sized arrays to hold
|
|
pathnames have been corrected to use strbuf and other mechanisms to
|
|
allow longer pathnames without fearing overflows.
|
|
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
|
|
clean-ups.
