Git v2.8.2 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.8.1
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* The embedded args argv-array in the child process is used to build
|
|
the command line to run pack-objects instead of using a separate
|
|
array of strings.
|
|
|
|
* Bunch of tests on "git clone" has been renumbered for better
|
|
organization.
|
|
|
|
* The tests that involve running httpd leaked the system-wide
|
|
configuration in /etc/gitconfig to the tested environment.
|
|
|
|
* "index-pack --keep=<msg>" was broken since v2.1.0 timeframe.
|
|
|
|
* "git config --get-urlmatch", unlike other variants of the "git
|
|
config --get" family, did not signal error with its exit status
|
|
when there was no matching configuration.
|
|
|
|
* The "--local-env-vars" and "--resolve-git-dir" options of "git
|
|
rev-parse" failed to work outside a repository when the command's
|
|
option parsing was rewritten in 1.8.5 era.
|
|
|
|
* Fetching of history by naming a commit object name directly didn't
|
|
work across remote-curl transport.
|
|
|
|
* A small memory leak in an error codepath has been plugged in xdiff
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
* strbuf_getwholeline() did not NUL-terminate the buffer on certain
|
|
corner cases in its error codepath.
|
|
|
|
* The startup_info data, which records if we are working inside a
|
|
repository (among other things), are now uniformly available to Git
|
|
subcommand implementations, and Git avoids attempting to touch
|
|
references when we are not in a repository.
|
|
|
|
* "git mergetool" did not work well with conflicts that both sides
|
|
deleted.
|
|
|
|
* "git send-email" had trouble parsing alias file in mailrc format
|
|
when lines in it had trailing whitespaces on them.
|
|
|
|
* When "git merge --squash" stopped due to conflict, the concluding
|
|
"git commit" failed to read in the SQUASH_MSG that shows the log
|
|
messages from all the squashed commits.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge FETCH_HEAD" dereferenced NULL pointer when merging
|
|
nothing into an unborn history (which is arguably unusual usage,
|
|
which perhaps was the reason why nobody noticed it).
|
|
|
|
* Build updates for MSVC.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff -M" used to work better when two originally identical
|
|
files A and B got renamed to X/A and X/B by pairing A to X/A and B
|
|
to X/B, but this was broken in the 2.0 timeframe.
|
|
|
|
* "git send-pack --all <there>" was broken when its command line
|
|
option parsing was written in the 2.6 timeframe.
|
|
|
|
* When running "git blame $path" with unnormalized data in the index
|
|
for the path, the data in the working tree was blamed, even though
|
|
"git add" would not have changed what is already in the index, due
|
|
to "safe crlf" that disables the line-end conversion. It has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
|
|
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
