A release candidate Git v2.11.0-rc3 is now available for testing
at the usual places. It is comprised of 666 non-merge commits
since v2.10.0, contributed by 73 people, 15 of which are new faces.
It turns out that one recent fix exposed codepaths that have not
been using the API correctly, resulting apparent minor regressions
in a few programs. This hopefully final release candidate contains
fixes to them.
The tarballs are found at:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/testing/

Git 2.11 Release Notes (draft)
==============================
Backward compatibility notes.
* An empty string used as a pathspec element has always meant
'everything matches', but it is too easy to write a script that
finds a path to remove in $path and run 'git rm "$paht"' by
mistake (when the user meant to give "$path"), which ends up
removing everything. This release starts warning about the
use of an empty string that is used for 'everything matches' and
asks users to use a more explicit '.' for that instead.
The hope is that existing users will not mind this change, and
eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error, upgrading
the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature.
* The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..."
has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in the
next release (not this one).
* The default abbreviation length, which has historically been 7, now
scales as the repository grows, using the approximate number of
objects in the repository and a bit of math around the birthday
paradox. The logic suggests to use 12 hexdigits for the Linux
kernel, and 9 to 10 for Git itself.
Updates since v2.10
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Comes with new version of git-gui, now at its 0.21.0 tag.
* "git format-patch --cover-letter HEAD^" to format a single patch
with a separate cover letter now numbers the output as [PATCH 0/1]
and [PATCH 1/1] by default.
* An incoming "git push" that attempts to push too many bytes can now
be rejected by setting a new configuration variable at the receiving
end.
* "git nosuchcommand --help" said "No manual entry for gitnosuchcommand",
which was not intuitive, given that "git nosuchcommand" said "git:
'nosuchcommand' is not a git command".
* "git clone --recurse-submodules --reference $path $URL" is a way to
reduce network transfer cost by borrowing objects in an existing
$path repository when cloning the superproject from $URL; it
learned to also peek into $path for presence of corresponding
repositories of submodules and borrow objects from there when able.
* The "git diff --submodule={short,log}" mechanism has been enhanced
to allow "--submodule=diff" to show the patch between the submodule
commits bound to the superproject.
* Even though "git hash-objects", which is a tool to take an
on-filesystem data stream and put it into the Git object store,
allowed to perform the "outside-world-to-Git" conversions (e.g.
end-of-line conversions and application of the clean-filter), and
it had the feature on by default from very early days, its reverse
operation "git cat-file", which takes an object from the Git object
store and externalize for the consumption by the outside world,
lacked an equivalent mechanism to run the "Git-to-outside-world"
conversion. The command learned the "--filters" option to do so.
* Output from "git diff" can be made easier to read by selecting
which lines are common and which lines are added/deleted
intelligently when the lines before and after the changed section
are the same. A command line option is added to help with the
experiment to find a good heuristics.
* In some projects, it is common to use "[RFC PATCH]" as the subject
prefix for a patch meant for discussion rather than application. A
new option "--rfc" is a short-hand for "--subject-prefix=RFC PATCH"
to help the participants of such projects.
* "git add --chmod=+x <pathspec>" added recently only toggled the
executable bit for paths that are either new or modified. This has
been corrected to flip the executable bit for all paths that match
the given pathspec.
* When "git format-patch --stdout" output is placed as an in-body
header and it uses the RFC2822 header folding, "git am" failed to
put the header line back into a single logical line. The
underlying "git mailinfo" was taught to handle this properly.
* "gitweb" can spawn "highlight" to show blob contents with
(programming) language-specific syntax highlighting, but only
when the language is known. "highlight" can however be told
to make the guess itself by giving it "--force" option, which
has been enabled.
* "git gui" l10n to Portuguese.
* When given an abbreviated object name that is not (or more
realistically, "no longer") unique, we gave a fatal error
"ambiguous argument". This error is now accompanied by a hint that
lists the objects beginning with the given prefix. During the
course of development of this new feature, numerous minor bugs were
uncovered and corrected, the most notable one of which is that we
gave "short SHA1 xxxx is ambiguous." twice without good reason.
* "git log rev^..rev" is an often-used revision range specification
to show what was done on a side branch merged at rev. This has
gained a short-hand "rev^-1". In general "rev^-$n" is the same as
"^rev^$n rev", i.e. what has happened on other branches while the
history leading to nth parent was looking the other way.
* In recent versions of cURL, GSSAPI credential delegation is
disabled by default due to CVE-2011-2192; introduce a configuration
to selectively allow enabling this.
(merge 26a7b23429 ps/http-gssapi-cred-delegation later to maint).
* "git mergetool" learned to honor "-O<orderfile>" to control the
order of paths to present to the end user.
* "git diff/log --ws-error-highlight=<kind>" lacked the corresponding
configuration variable to set it by default.
* "git ls-files" learned "--recurse-submodules" option that can be
used to get a listing of tracked files across submodules (i.e. this
only works with "--cached" option, not for listing untracked or
ignored files). This would be a useful tool to sit on the upstream
side of a pipe that is read with xargs to work on all working tree
files from the top-level superproject.
* A new credential helper that talks via "libsecret" with
implementations of XDG Secret Service API has been added to
contrib/credential/.
* The GPG verification status shown in "%G?" pretty format specifier
was not rich enough to differentiate a signature made by an expired
key, a signature made by a revoked key, etc. New output letters
have been assigned to express them.
* In addition to purely abbreviated commit object names, "gitweb"
learned to turn "git describe" output (e.g. v2.9.3-599-g2376d31787)
into clickable links in its output.
* When new paths were added by "git add -N" to the index, it was
enough to circumvent the check by "git commit" to refrain from
making an empty commit without "--allow-empty". The same logic
prevented "git status" to show such a path as "new file" in the
"Changes not staged for commit" section.
* The smudge/clean filter API expect an external process is spawned
to filter the contents for each path that has a filter defined. A
new type of "process" filter API has been added to allow the first
request to run the filter for a path to spawn a single process, and
all filtering need is served by this single process for multiple
paths, reducing the process creation overhead.
* The user always has to say "stash@{$N}" when naming a single
element in the default location of the stash, i.e. reflogs in
refs/stash. The "git stash" command learned to accept "git stash
apply 4" as a short-hand for "git stash apply stash@{4}".
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The delta-base-cache mechanism has been a key to the performance in
a repository with a tightly packed packfile, but it did not scale
well even with a larger value of core.deltaBaseCacheLimit.
* Enhance "git status --porcelain" output by collecting more data on
the state of the index and the working tree files, which may
further be used to teach git-prompt (in contrib/) to make fewer
calls to git.
* Extract a small helper out of the function that reads the authors
script file "git am" internally uses.
(merge a77598e jc/am-read-author-file later to maint).
* Lifts calls to exit(2) and die() higher in the callchain in
sequencer.c files so that more helper functions in it can be used
by callers that want to handle error conditions themselves.
* "git am" has been taught to make an internal call to "git apply"'s
innards without spawning the latter as a separate process.
* The ref-store abstraction was introduced to the refs API so that we
can plug in different backends to store references.
* The "unsigned char sha1[20]" to "struct object_id" conversion
continues. Notable changes in this round includes that ce->sha1,
i.e. the object name recorded in the cache_entry, turns into an
object_id.
* JGit can show a fake ref "capabilities^{}" to "git fetch" when it
does not advertise any refs, but "git fetch" was not prepared to
see such an advertisement. When the other side disconnects without
giving any ref advertisement, we used to say "there may not be a
repository at that URL", but we may have seen other advertisement
like "shallow" and ".have" in which case we definitely know that a
repository is there. The code to detect this case has also been
updated.
* Some codepaths in "git pack-objects" were not ready to use an
existing pack bitmap; now they are and as the result they have
become faster.
* The codepath in "git fsck" to detect malformed tree objects has
been updated not to die but keep going after detecting them.
* We call "qsort(array, nelem, sizeof(array[0]), fn)", and most of
the time third parameter is redundant. A new QSORT() macro lets us
omit it.
* "git pack-objects" in a repository with many packfiles used to
spend a lot of time looking for/at objects in them; the accesses to
the packfiles are now optimized by checking the most-recently-used
packfile first.
(merge c9af708b1a jk/pack-objects-optim-mru later to maint).
* Codepaths involved in interacting alternate object store have
been cleaned up.
* In order for the receiving end of "git push" to inspect the
received history and decide to reject the push, the objects sent
from the sending end need to be made available to the hook and
the mechanism for the connectivity check, and this was done
traditionally by storing the objects in the receiving repository
and letting "git gc" to expire it. Instead, store the newly
received objects in a temporary area, and make them available by
reusing the alternate object store mechanism to them only while we
decide if we accept the check, and once we decide, either migrate
them to the repository or purge them immediately.
* The require_clean_work_tree() helper was recreated in C when "git
pull" was rewritten from shell; the helper is now made available to
other callers in preparation for upcoming "rebase -i" work.
* "git upload-pack" had its code cleaned-up and performance improved
by reducing use of timestamp-ordered commit-list, which was
replaced with a priority queue.
* "git diff --no-index" codepath has been updated not to try to peek
into .git/ directory that happens to be under the current
directory, when we know we are operating outside any repository.
* Update of the sequencer codebase to make it reusable to reimplement
"rebase -i" continues.
* Git generally does not explicitly close file descriptors that were
open in the parent process when spawning a child process, but most
of the time the child does not want to access them. As Windows does
not allow removing or renaming a file that has a file descriptor
open, a slow-to-exit child can even break the parent process by
holding onto them. Use O_CLOEXEC flag to open files in various
codepaths.
* Update "interpret-trailers" machinery and teaches it that people in
real world write all sorts of crufts in the "trailer" that was
originally designed to have the neat-o "Mail-Header: like thing"
and nothing else.
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
Fixes since v2.10
-----------------
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.9 in the maintenance
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
notes for details).
* Clarify various ways to specify the "revision ranges" in the
documentation.
* "diff-highlight" script (in contrib/) learned to work better with
"git log -p --graph" output.
* The test framework left the number of tests and success/failure
count in the t/test-results directory, keyed by the name of the
test script plus the process ID. The latter however turned out not
to serve any useful purpose. The process ID part of the filename
has been removed.
* Having a submodule whose ".git" repository is somehow corrupt
caused a few commands that recurse into submodules loop forever.
* "git symbolic-ref -d HEAD" happily removes the symbolic ref, but
the resulting repository becomes an invalid one. Teach the command
to forbid removal of HEAD.
* A test spawned a short-lived background process, which sometimes
prevented the test directory from getting removed at the end of the
script on some platforms.
* Update a few tests that used to use GIT_CURL_VERBOSE to use the
newer GIT_TRACE_CURL.
* "git pack-objects --include-tag" was taught that when we know that
we are sending an object C, we want a tag B that directly points at
C but also a tag A that points at the tag B. We used to miss the
intermediate tag B in some cases.
* Update Japanese translation for "git-gui".
* "git fetch http::/site/path" did not die correctly and segfaulted
instead.
* "git commit-tree" stopped reading commit.gpgsign configuration
variable that was meant for Porcelain "git commit" in Git 2.9; we
forgot to update "git gui" to look at the configuration to match
this change.
* "git add --chmod=+x" added recently lacked documentation, which has
been corrected.
* "git log --cherry-pick" used to include merge commits as candidates
to be matched up with other commits, resulting a lot of wasted time.
The patch-id generation logic has been updated to ignore merges to
avoid the wastage.
* The http transport (with curl-multi option, which is the default
these days) failed to remove curl-easy handle from a curlm session,
which led to unnecessary API failures.
* There were numerous corner cases in which the configuration files
are read and used or not read at all depending on the directory a
Git command was run, leading to inconsistent behaviour. The code
to set-up repository access at the beginning of a Git process has
been updated to fix them.
(merge 4d0efa1 jk/setup-sequence-update later to maint).
* "git diff -W" output needs to extend the context backward to
include the header line of the current function and also forward to
include the body of the entire current function up to the header
line of the next one. This process may have to merge two adjacent
hunks, but the code forgot to do so in some cases.
* Performance tests done via "t/perf" did not use the same set of
build configuration if the user relied on autoconf generated
configuration.
* "git format-patch --base=..." feature that was recently added
showed the base commit information after "-- " e-mail signature
line, which turned out to be inconvenient. The base information
has been moved above the signature line.
* More i18n.
* Even when "git pull --rebase=preserve" (and the underlying "git
rebase --preserve") can complete without creating any new commit
(i.e. fast-forwards), it still insisted on having a usable ident
information (read: user.email is set correctly), which was less
than nice. As the underlying commands used inside "git rebase"
would fail with a more meaningful error message and advice text
when the bogus ident matters, this extra check was removed.
* "git gc --aggressive" used to limit the delta-chain length to 250,
which is way too deep for gaining additional space savings and is
detrimental for runtime performance. The limit has been reduced to
50.
* Documentation for individual configuration variables to control use
of color (like `color.grep`) said that their default value is
'false', instead of saying their default is taken from `color.ui`.
When we updated the default value for color.ui from 'false' to
'auto' quite a while ago, all of them broke. This has been
corrected.
* The pretty-format specifier "%C(auto)" used by the "log" family of
commands to enable coloring of the output is taught to also issue a
color-reset sequence to the output.
* A shell script example in check-ref-format documentation has been
fixed.
* "git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation
rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow
checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a
file 'foo' in the working tree without having to disambiguate.
This was poorly documented and the check was incorrect when the
command was run from a subdirectory.
* Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was
mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read
beyond the end of the mapped region. This was fixed by introducing
a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND
extension.
* The procedure to build Git on Mac OS X for Travis CI hardcoded the
internal directory structure we assumed HomeBrew uses, which was a
no-no. The procedure has been updated to ask HomeBrew things we
need to know to fix this.
* When "git rebase -i" is given a broken instruction, it told the
user to fix it with "--edit-todo", but didn't say what the step
after that was (i.e. "--continue").
* Documentation around tools to import from CVS was fairly outdated.
* "git clone --recurse-submodules" lost the progress eye-candy in
recent update, which has been corrected.
* A low-level function verify_packfile() was meant to show errors
that were detected without dying itself, but under some conditions
it didn't and died instead, which has been fixed.
* When "git fetch" tries to find where the history of the repository
it runs in has diverged from what the other side has, it has a
mechanism to avoid digging too deep into irrelevant side branches.
This however did not work well over the "smart-http" transport due
to a design bug, which has been fixed.
* In the codepath that comes up with the hostname to be used in an
e-mail when the user didn't tell us, we looked at ai_canonname
field in struct addrinfo without making sure it is not NULL first.
* "git worktree", even though it used the default_abbrev setting that
ought to be affected by core.abbrev configuration variable, ignored
the variable setting. The command has been taught to read the
default set of configuration variables to correct this.
* "git init" tried to record core.worktree in the repository's
'config' file when GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable was set and
it was different from where GIT_DIR appears as ".git" at its top,
but the logic was faulty when .git is a "gitdir:" file that points
at the real place, causing trouble in working trees that are
managed by "git worktree". This has been corrected.
* Codepaths that read from an on-disk loose object were too loose in
validating what they are reading is a proper object file and
sometimes read past the data they read from the disk, which has
been corrected. H/t to Gustavo Grieco for reporting.
* The original command line syntax for "git merge", which was "git
merge <msg> HEAD <parent>...", has been deprecated for quite some
time, and "git gui" was the last in-tree user of the syntax. This
is finally fixed, so that we can move forward with the deprecation.
* An author name, that spelled a backslash-quoted double quote in the
human readable part "My \"double quoted\" name", was not unquoted
correctly while applying a patch from a piece of e-mail.
* Doc update to clarify what "log -3 --reverse" does.
* Almost everybody uses DEFAULT_ABBREV to refer to the default
setting for the abbreviation, but "git blame" peeked into
underlying variable bypassing the macro for no good reason.
* The "graph" API used in "git log --graph" miscounted the number of
output columns consumed so far when drawing a padding line, which
has been fixed; this did not affect any existing code as nobody
tried to write anything after the padding on such a line, though.
* The code that parses the format parameter of for-each-ref command
has seen a micro-optimization.
* When we started cURL to talk to imap server when a new enough
version of cURL library is available, we forgot to explicitly add
imap(s):// before the destination. To some folks, that didn't work
and the library tried to make HTTP(s) requests instead.
* The ./configure script generated from configure.ac was taught how
to detect support of SSL by libcurl better.
* The command-line completion script (in contrib/) learned to
complete "git cmd ^mas<HT>" to complete the negative end of
reference to "git cmd ^master".
(merge 49416ad22a cp/completion-negative-refs later to maint).
* The existing "git fetch --depth=<n>" option was hard to use
correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone
deeper. A new option, "--deepen=<n>", has been added to make this
easier to use. "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=<date>"
and "--shallow-exclude=<tag>" options to make it easier to specify
"I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and
"Give me only the history since that version".
(merge cccf74e2da nd/shallow-deepen later to maint).
* It is a common mistake to say "git blame --reverse OLD path",
expecting that the command line is dwimmed as if asking how lines
in path in an old revision OLD have survived up to the current
commit.
(merge e1d09701a4 jc/blame-reverse later to maint).
* http.emptyauth configuration is a way to allow an empty username to
pass when attempting to authenticate using mechanisms like
Kerberos. We took an unspecified (NULL) username and sent ":"
(i.e. no username, no password) to CURLOPT_USERPWD, but did not do
the same when the username is explicitly set to an empty string.
* "git clone" of a local repository can be done at the filesystem
level, but the codepath did not check errors while copying and
adjusting the file that lists alternate object stores.
* Documentation for "git commit" was updated to clarify that "commit
-p <paths>" adds to the current contents of the index to come up
with what to commit.
* A stray symbolic link in $GIT_DIR/refs/ directory could make name
resolution loop forever, which has been corrected.
* The "submodule.<name>.path" stored in .gitmodules is never copied
to .git/config and such a key in .git/config has no meaning, but
the documentation described it and submodule.<name>.url next to
each other as if both belong to .git/config. This has been fixed.
* In a worktree connected to a repository elsewhere, created via "git
worktree", "git checkout" attempts to protect users from confusion
by refusing to check out a branch that is already checked out in
another worktree. However, this also prevented checking out a
branch, which is designated as the primary branch of a bare
reopsitory, in a worktree that is connected to the bare
repository. The check has been corrected to allow it.
* "git rebase" immediately after "git clone" failed to find the fork
point from the upstream.
* When fetching from a remote that has many tags that are irrelevant
to branches we are following, we used to waste way too many cycles
when checking if the object pointed at by a tag (that we are not
going to fetch!) exists in our repository too carefully.
* Protect our code from over-eager compilers.
* Recent git allows submodule.<name>.branch to use a special token
"." instead of the branch name; the documentation has been updated
to describe it.
* A hot-fix for a test added by a recent topic that went to both
'master' and 'maint' already.
* "git send-email" attempts to pick up valid e-mails from the
trailers, but people in real world write non-addresses there, like
"Cc: Stable <add@xxxxx> # 4.8+", which broke the output depending
on the availability and vintage of Mail::Address perl module.
(merge dcfafc5214 mm/send-email-cc-cruft-after-address later to maint).
* The Travis CI configuration we ship ran the tests with --verbose
option but this risks non-TAP output that happens to be "ok" to be
misinterpreted as TAP signalling a test that passed. This resulted
in unnecessary failure. This has been corrected by introducing a
new mode to run our tests in the test harness to send the verbose
output separately to the log file.
* Some AsciiDoc formatter mishandles a displayed illustration with
tabs in it. Adjust a few of them in merge-base documentation to
work around them.
* A minor regression fix for "git submodule" that was introduced
when more helper functions were reimplemented in C.
(merge 77b63ac31e sb/submodule-ignore-trailing-slash later to maint).
* The code that we have used for the past 10+ years to cycle
4-element ring buffers turns out to be not quite portable in
theoretical world.
(merge bb84735c80 rs/ring-buffer-wraparound later to maint).
* "git daemon" used fixed-length buffers to turn URL to the
repository the client asked for into the server side directory
path, using snprintf() to avoid overflowing these buffers, but
allowed possibly truncated paths to the directory. This has been
tightened to reject such a request that causes overlong path to be
required to serve.
(merge 6bdb0083be jk/daemon-path-ok-check-truncation later to maint).
* Recent update to git-sh-setup (a library of shell functions that
are used by our in-tree scripted Porcelain commands) included
another shell library git-sh-i18n without specifying where it is,
relying on the $PATH. This has been fixed to be more explicit by
prefixing $(git --exec-path) output in front.
(merge 1073094f30 ak/sh-setup-dot-source-i18n-fix later to maint).
* Fix for a racy false-positive test failure.
(merge fdf4f6c79b as/merge-attr-sleep later to maint).
* Portability update and workaround for builds on recent Mac OS X.
(merge a296bc0132 ls/macos-update later to maint).
* Using a %(HEAD) placeholder in "for-each-ref --format=" option
caused the command to segfault when on an unborn branch.
(merge 84679d470d jc/for-each-ref-head-segfault-fix later to maint).
* "git rebase -i" did not work well with core.commentchar
configuration variable for two reasons, both of which have been
fixed.
(merge 882cd23777 js/rebase-i-commentchar-fix later to maint).
* Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
