Relative to Git 2.43, this +release contains the fixes that have already been merged to the +'master' branch of the development towards the next major release. + +Fixes since Git 2.43.0 +---------------------- + + * The way CI testing used "prove" could lead to running the test + suite twice needlessly, which has been corrected. + + * Newer versions of Getopt::Long started giving warnings against our + (ab)use of it in "git send-email". Bump the minimum version + requirement for Perl to 5.8.1 (from September 2002) to allow + simplifying our implementation. + + * Earlier we stopped relying on commit-graph that (still) records + information about commits that are lost from the object store, + which has negative performance implications. The default has been + flipped to disable this pessimization. + + * Stale URLs have been updated to their current counterparts (or + archive.org) and HTTP links are replaced with working HTTPS links. + + * trace2 streams used to record the URLs that potentially embed + authentication material, which has been corrected. + + * The sample pre-commit hook that tries to catch introduction of new + paths that use potentially non-portable characters did not notice + an existing path getting renamed to such a problematic path, when + rename detection was enabled. + + * The command line parser for the "log" family of commands was too + loose when parsing certain numbers, e.g., silently ignoring the + extra 'q' in "git log -n 1q" without complaining, which has been + tightened up. + + * "git $cmd --end-of-options --rev -- --path" for some $cmd failed + to interpret "--rev" as a rev, and "--path" as a path. This was + fixed for many programs like "reset" and "checkout". + + * "git bisect reset" has been taught to clean up state files and refs + even when BISECT_START file is gone. + + * Some codepaths did not correctly parse configuration variables + specified with valueless "true", which has been corrected. + + * Code clean-up for sanity checking of command line options for "git + show-ref". + + * The code to parse the From e-mail header has been updated to avoid + recursion. + + * "git fetch --atomic" issued an unnecessary empty error message, + which has been corrected. + + * Command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to work better + with the reftable backend. + + * "git status" is taught to show both the branch being bisected and + being rebased when both are in effect at the same time. + cf. <xmqqil76kyov.fsf@gitster.g> + + * "git archive --list extra garbage" silently ignored excess command + line parameters, which has been corrected. + + * "git sparse-checkout set" added default patterns even when the + patterns are being fed from the standard input, which has been + corrected. + + * Unlike other environment variables that took the usual + true/false/yes/no as well as 0/1, GIT_FLUSH only understood 0/1, + which has been corrected. + + * Clearing in-core repository (happens during e.g., "git fetch + --recurse-submodules" with commit graph enabled) made in-core + commit object in an inconsistent state by discarding the necessary + data from commit-graph too early, which has been corrected. + +Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups. |
