Git v2.4.2 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.4.1
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-list --objects $old --not --all" to see if everything that
|
|
is reachable from $old is already connected to the existing refs
|
|
was very inefficient.
|
|
|
|
* "hash-object --literally" introduced in v2.2 was not prepared to
|
|
take a really long object type name.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase --quiet" was not quite quiet when there is nothing to
|
|
do.
|
|
|
|
* The completion for "log --decorate=" parameter value was incorrect.
|
|
|
|
* "filter-branch" corrupted commit log message that ends with an
|
|
incomplete line on platforms with some "sed" implementations that
|
|
munge such a line. Work it around by avoiding to use "sed".
|
|
|
|
* "git daemon" fails to build from the source under NO_IPV6
|
|
configuration (regression in 2.4).
|
|
|
|
* "git stash pop/apply" forgot to make sure that not just the working
|
|
tree is clean but also the index is clean. The latter is important
|
|
as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for
|
|
conflict resolution.
|
|
|
|
* We have prepended $GIT_EXEC_PATH and the path "git" is installed in
|
|
(typically "/usr/bin") to $PATH when invoking subprograms and hooks
|
|
for almost eternity, but the original use case the latter tried to
|
|
support was semi-bogus (i.e. install git to /opt/foo/git and run it
|
|
without having /opt/foo on $PATH), and more importantly it has
|
|
become less and less relevant as Git grew more mainstream (i.e. the
|
|
users would _want_ to have it on their $PATH). Stop prepending the
|
|
path in which "git" is installed to users' $PATH, as that would
|
|
interfere the command search order people depend on (e.g. they may
|
|
not like versions of programs that are unrelated to Git in /usr/bin
|
|
and want to override them by having different ones in /usr/local/bin
|
|
and have the latter directory earlier in their $PATH).
|
|
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
|
|
clean-ups.
