Correct the allocation + size and also have it on stack, as it is small enough. + + * Various documentation mark-up fixes to make the output more + consistent in general and also make AsciiDoctor (an alternative + formatter) happier. + + * "git bundle verify" did not diagnose extra parameters on the + command line. + + * Multi-ref transaction support we merged a few releases ago + unnecessarily kept many file descriptors open, risking to fail with + resource exhaustion. + + * The ref API did not handle cases where 'refs/heads/xyzzy/frotz' is + removed at the same time as 'refs/heads/xyzzy' is added (or vice + versa) very well. + + * The "log --decorate" enhancement in Git 2.4 that shows the commit + at the tip of the current branch e.g. "HEAD -> master", did not + work with --decorate=full. + + * There was a commented-out (instead of being marked to expect + failure) test that documented a breakage that was fixed since the + test was written; turn it into a proper test. + + * core.excludesfile (defaulting to $XDG_HOME/git/ignore) is supposed + to be overridden by repository-specific .git/info/exclude file, but + the order was swapped from the beginning. This belatedly fixes it. + + * The connection initiation code for "ssh" transport tried to absorb + differences between the stock "ssh" and Putty-supplied "plink" and + its derivatives, but the logic to tell that we are using "plink" + variants were too loose and falsely triggered when "plink" appeared + anywhere in the path (e.g. "/home/me/bin/uplink/ssh"). + + * "git rebase -i" moved the "current" command from "todo" to "done" a + bit too prematurely, losing a step when a "pick" did not even start. + + * "git add -e" did not allow the user to abort the operation by + killing the editor. + + * Git 2.4 broke setting verbosity and progress levels on "git clone" + with native transports. + + * Some time ago, "git blame" (incorrectly) lost the convert_to_git() + call when synthesizing a fake "tip" commit that represents the + state in the working tree, which broke folks who record the history + with LF line ending to make their project portable across + platforms while terminating lines in their working tree files with + CRLF for their platform. + + * Code clean-up for xdg configuration path support. + +Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code +clean-ups. -- cgit v1.2.3
