Fixed. + + * Variable quoting fix in the vimdiff driver of "git mergetool". + + * An earlier attempt to plug leaks placed a clean-up label to jump to + at a bogus place, which as been corrected. + + * Fixes a long-standing corner case bug around directory renames in + the merge-ort strategy. + + * Recent update to vimdiff layout code has been made more robust + against different end-user vim settings. + + * In a non-bare repository, the behavior of Git when the + core.worktree configuration variable points at a directory that has + a repository as its subdirectory, regressed in Git 2.27 days. + + * References to commands-to-be-typed-literally in "git rebase" + documentation mark-up have been corrected. + + * Give _() markings to fatal/warning/usage: labels that are shown in + front of these messages. + + * "git mktree --missing" lazily fetched objects that are missing from + the local object store, which was totally unnecessary for the purpose + of creating the tree object(s) from its input. + + * Fixes for tests when the source directory has unusual characters in + its path, e.g. whitespaces, double-quotes, etc. + + * Adjust technical/bitmap-format to be formatted by AsciiDoc, and + add some missing information to the documentation. + + * Certain diff options are currently ignored when combined-diff is + shown; mark them as incompatible with the feature. + + * "git clone" from a repository with some ref whose HEAD is unborn + did not set the HEAD in the resulting repository correctly, which + has been corrected. + + * mkstemp() emulation on Windows has been improved. + + * Add missing documentation for "include" and "includeIf" features in + "git config" file format, which incidentally teaches the command + line completion to include them in its offerings. + + * Avoid "white/black-list" in documentation and code comments. + + * Workaround for a compiler warning against use of die() in + osx-keychain (in contrib/). + + * Workaround for a false positive compiler warning. + + * The resolve-undo information in the index was not protected against + GC, which has been corrected. + + * A corner case bug where lazily fetching objects from a promisor + remote resulted in infinite recursion has been corrected. + + * "git p4" working on UTF-16 files on Windows did not implement + CRLF-to-LF conversion correctly, which has been corrected. + + * "git p4" did not handle non-ASCII client name well, which has been + corrected. + + * "rerere-train" script (in contrib/) used to honor commit.gpgSign + while recreating the throw-away merges. + + * "git checkout" miscounted the paths it updated, which has been + corrected. + + * Fix for a bug that makes write-tree to fail to write out a + non-existent index as a tree, introduced in 2.37. + + * There was a bug in the codepath to upgrade generation information + in commit-graph from v1 to v2 format, which has been corrected. + +Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
