The traditional tests have been renamed + to use "work-tree" instead in an attempt to differentiate them. + + * Many codepaths forget to check return value from git_config_set(); + the function is made to die() to make sure we do not proceed when + setting a configuration variable failed. + + * Handling of errors while writing into our internal asynchronous + process has been made more robust, which reduces flakiness in our + tests. + + * "git show 'HEAD:Foo[BAR]Baz'" did not interpret the argument as a + rev, i.e. the object named by the pathname with wildcard + characters in a tree object. + + * "git rev-parse --git-common-dir" used in the worktree feature + misbehaved when run from a subdirectory. + + * The "v(iew)" subcommand of the interactive "git am -i" command was + broken in 2.6.0 timeframe when the command was rewritten in C. + + * "git merge-tree" used to mishandle "both sides added" conflict with + its own "create a fake ancestor file that has the common parts of + what both sides have added and do a 3-way merge" logic; this has + been updated to use the usual "3-way merge with an empty blob as + the fake common ancestor file" approach used in the rest of the + system. + + * The memory ownership rule of fill_textconv() API, which was a bit + tricky, has been documented a bit better. + + * The documentation did not clearly state that the 'simple' mode is + now the default for "git push" when push.default configuration is + not set. + + * Recent versions of GNU grep are pickier when their input contains + arbitrary binary data, which some of our tests uses. Rewrite the + tests to sidestep the problem. + + * A helper function "git submodule" uses since v2.7.0 to list the + modules that match the pathspec argument given to its subcommands + (e.g. "submodule add ") has been fixed. + + * "git config section.var value" to set a value in per-repository + configuration file failed when it was run outside any repository, + but didn't say the reason correctly. + + * The code to read the pack data using the offsets stored in the pack + idx file has been made more carefully check the validity of the + data in the idx. + +Also includes documentation and test updates. -- cgit v1.2.3
