Git 2.12 Release Notes (draft)
==============================
Backward compatibility notes.
* Use of an empty string that is used for 'everything matches' is
still warned and Git 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. That
is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming release (yet).
* The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..."
has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in a
future release.
* An ancient script "git relink" has been removed.
Updates since v2.11
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Various updates to "git p4".
* "git p4" didn't interact with the internal of .git directory
correctly in the modern "git-worktree"-enabled world.
* "git branch --list" and friends learned "--ignore-case" option to
optionally sort branches and tags case insensitively.
* In addition to %(subject), %(body), "log --pretty=format:..."
learned a new placeholder %(trailers).
* "git rebase" learned "--quit" option, which allows a user to
remove the metadata left by an earlier "git rebase" that was
manually aborted without using "git rebase --abort".
* "git clone --reference $there --recurse-submodules $super" has been
taught to guess repositories usable as references for submodules of
$super that are embedded in $there while making a clone of the
superproject borrow objects from $there; extend the mechanism to
also allow submodules of these submodules to borrow repositories
embedded in these clones of the submodules embedded in the clone of
the superproject.
* Porcelain scripts written in Perl are getting internationalized.
* "git merge --continue" has been added as a synonym to "git commit"
to conclude a merge that has stopped due to conflicts.
* Finer-grained control of what protocols are allowed for transports
during clone/fetch/push have been enabled via a new configuration
mechanism.
* "git shortlog" learned "--committer" option to group commits by
committer, instead of author.
* GitLFS integration with "git p4" has been updated.
* The isatty() emulation for Windows has been updated to eradicate
the previous hack that depended on internals of (older) MSVC
runtime.
* Some platforms no longer understand "latin-1" that is still seen in
the wild in e-mail headers; replace them with "iso-8859-1" that is
more widely known when conversion fails from/to it.
* "git grep" has been taught to optionally recurse into submodules.
* "git rm" used to refuse to remove a submodule when it has its own
git repository embedded in its working tree. It learned to move
the repository away to $GIT_DIR/modules/ of the superproject
instead, and allow the submodule to be deleted (as long as there
will be no loss of local modifications, that is).
* A recent updates to "git p4" was not usable for older p4 but it
could be made to work with minimum changes. Do so.
* "git diff" learned diff.interHunkContext configuration variable
that gives the default value for its --inter-hunk-context option.
* The prereleaseSuffix feature of version comparison that is used in
"git tag -l" did not correctly when two or more prereleases for the
same release were present (e.g. when 2.0, 2.0-beta1, and 2.0-beta2
are there and the code needs to compare 2.0-beta1 and 2.0-beta2).
* "git submodule push" learned "--recurse-submodules=only option to
push submodules out without pushing the top-level superproject.
* "git tag" and "git verify-tag" learned to put GPG verification
status in their "--format=<placeholders>" output format.
* An ancient repository conversion tool left in contrib/ has been
removed.
* "git show-ref HEAD" used with "--verify" because the user is not
interested in seeing refs/remotes/origin/HEAD, and used with
"--head" because the user does not want HEAD to be filtered out,
i.e. "git show-ref --head --verify HEAD", did not work as expected.
* "git submodule add" used to be confused and refused to add a
locally created repository; users can now use "--force" option
to add them.
(merge 619acfc78c sb/submodule-add-force later to maint).
* Some people feel the default set of colors used by "git log --graph"
rather limiting. A mechanism to customize the set of colors has
been introduced.
* "git read-tree" and its underlying unpack_trees() machinery learned
to report problematic paths prefixed with the --super-prefix option.
* When a submodule "A", which has another submodule "B" nested within
it, is "absorbed" into the top-level superproject, the inner
submodule "B" used to be left in a strange state. The logic to
adjust the .git pointers in these submodules has been corrected.
* The user can specify a custom update method that is run when
"submodule update" updates an already checked out submodule. This
was ignored when checking the submodule out for the first time and
we instead always just checked out the commit that is bound to the
path in the superproject's index.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) learned that
"git diff --submodule=" can take "diff" as a recently added option.
* The "core.logAllRefUpdates" that used to be boolean has been
enhanced to take 'always' as well, to record ref updates to refs
other than the ones that are expected to be updated (i.e. branches,
remote-tracking branches and notes).
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Commands that operate on a log message and add lines to the trailer
blocks, such as "format-patch -s", "cherry-pick (-x|-s)", and
"commit -s", have been taught to use the logic of and share the
code with "git interpret-trailer".
* The default Travis-CI configuration specifies newer P4 and GitLFS.
* The "fast hash" that had disastrous performance issues in some
corner cases has been retired from the internal diff.
* The character width table has been updated to match Unicode 9.0
* Update the procedure to generate "tags" for developer support.
* The codeflow of setting NOATIME and CLOEXEC on file descriptors Git
opens has been simplified.
* "git diff" and its family had two experimental heuristics to shift
the contents of a hunk to make the patch easier to read. One of
them turns out to be better than the other, so leave only the
"--indent-heuristic" option and remove the other one.
* A new submodule helper "git submodule embedgitdirs" to make it
easier to move embedded .git/ directory for submodules in a
superproject to .git/modules/ (and point the latter with the former
that is turned into a "gitdir:" file) has been added.
* "git push \\server\share\dir" has recently regressed and then
fixed. A test has retroactively been added for this breakage.
* Build updates for Cygwin.
* The implementation of "real_path()" was to go there with chdir(2)
and call getcwd(3), but this obviously wouldn't be usable in a
threaded environment. Rewrite it to manually resolve relative
paths including symbolic links in path components.
* Adjust documentation to help AsciiDoctor render better while not
breaking the rendering done by AsciiDoc.
* The sequencer machinery has been further enhanced so that a later
set of patches can start using it to reimplement "rebase -i".
* Update the definition of the MacOSX test environment used by
TravisCI.
* Rewrite a scripted porcelain "git difftool" in C.
* "make -C t failed" will now run only the tests that failed in the
previous run. This is usable only when prove is not use, and gives
a useless error message when run after "make clean", but otherwise
is serviceable.
* "uchar [40]" to "struct object_id" conversion continues.
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).
* We often decide if a session is interactive by checking if the
standard I/O streams are connected to a TTY, but isatty() that
comes with Windows incorrectly returned true if it is used on NUL
(i.e. an equivalent to /dev/null). This has been fixed.
* "git svn" did not work well with path components that are "0", and
some configuration variable it uses were not documented.
* "git rev-parse --symbolic" failed with a more recent notation like
"HEAD^-1" and "HEAD^!".
* An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used
to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a
submodule directory there, which has been fixed..
* The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the
superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed
out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small
project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable
number of refs.
* "git push --dry-run --recurse-submodule=on-demand" wasn't
"--dry-run" in the submodules.
* The output from "git worktree list" was made in readdir() order,
and was unstable.
* mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode configuration variable did not apply
to built-in tools, but now it does.
* "git p4" LFS support was broken when LFS stores an empty blob.
* A corner case in merge-recursive regression that crept in
during 2.10 development cycle has been fixed.
* Transport with dumb http can be fooled into following foreign URLs
that the end user does not intend to, especially with the server
side redirects and http-alternates mechanism, which can lead to
security issues. Tighten the redirection and make it more obvious
to the end user when it happens.
* Update the error messages from the dumb-http client when it fails
to obtain loose objects; we used to give sensible error message
only upon 404 but we now forbid unexpected redirects that needs to
be reported with something sensible.
* When diff.renames configuration is on (and with Git 2.9 and later,
it is enabled by default, which made it worse), "git stash"
misbehaved if a file is removed and another file with a very
similar content is added.
* "git diff --no-index" did not take "--no-abbrev" option.
* "git difftool --dir-diff" had a minor regression when started from
a subdirectory, which has been fixed.
* "git commit --allow-empty --only" (no pathspec) with dirty index
ought to be an acceptable way to create a new commit that does not
change any paths, but it was forbidden, perhaps because nobody
needed it so far.
* Git 2.11 had a minor regression in "merge --ff-only" that competed
with another process that simultanously attempted to update the
index. We used to explain what went wrong with an error message,
but the new code silently failed. The error message has been
resurrected.
* A pathname that begins with "//" or "\\" on Windows is special but
path normalization logic was unaware of it.
* "git pull --rebase", when there is no new commits on our side since
we forked from the upstream, should be able to fast-forward without
invoking "git rebase", but it didn't.
* The way to specify hotkeys to "xxdiff" that is used by "git
mergetool" has been modernized to match recent versions of xxdiff.
* Unlike "git am --abort", "git cherry-pick --abort" moved HEAD back
to where cherry-pick started while picking multiple changes, when
the cherry-pick stopped to ask for help from the user, and the user
did "git reset --hard" to a different commit in order to re-attempt
the operation.
* Code cleanup in shallow boundary computation.
* A recent update to receive-pack to make it easier to drop garbage
objects made it clear that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES cannot
have a pathname with a colon in it (no surprise!), and this in turn
made it impossible to push into a repository at such a path. This
has been fixed by introducing a quoting mechanism used when
appending such a path to the colon-separated list.
* The function usage_msg_opt() has been updated to say "fatal:"
before the custom message programs give, when they want to die
with a message about wrong command line options followed by the
standard usage string.
* "git index-pack --stdin" needs an access to an existing repository,
but "git index-pack file.pack" to generate an .idx file that
corresponds to a packfile does not.
* Fix for NDEBUG builds.
* A lazy "git push" without refspec did not internally use a fully
specified refspec to perform 'current', 'simple', or 'upstream'
push, causing unnecessary "ambiguous ref" errors.
* "git p4" misbehaved when swapping a directory and a symbolic link.
* Even though an fix was attempted in Git 2.9.3 days, but running
"git difftool --dir-diff" from a subdirectory never worked. This
has been fixed.
* "git p4" that tracks multile p4 paths imported a single changelist
that touches files in these multiple paths as one commit, followed
by many empty commits. This has been fixed.
* A potential but unlikely buffer overflow in Windows port has been
fixed.
* When the http server gives an incomplete response to a smart-http
rpc call, it could lead to client waiting for a full response that
will never come. Teach the client side to notice this condition
and abort the transfer.
* Compression setting for producing packfiles were spread across
three codepaths, one of which did not honor any configuration.
Unify these so that all of them honor core.compression and
pack.compression variables the same way.
* "git fast-import" sometimes mishandled while rebalancing notes
tree, which has been fixed.
* Recent update to the default abbreviation length that auto-scales
lacked documentation update, which has been corrected.
* Leakage of lockfiles in the config subsystem has been fixed.
* It is natural that "git gc --auto" may not attempt to pack
everything into a single pack, and there is no point in warning
when the user has configured the system to use the pack bitmap,
leading to disabling further "gc".
* "git archive" did not read the standard configuration files, and
failed to notice a file that is marked as binary via the userdiff
driver configuration.
* "git blame --porcelain" misidentified the "previous" <commit, path>
pair (aka "source") when contents came from two or more files.
* "git rebase -i" with a recent update started showing an incorrect
count when squashing more than 10 commits.
* "git <cmd> @{push}" on a detached HEAD used to segfault; it has
been corrected to error out with a message.
* Running "git add a/b" when "a" is a submodule correctly errored
out, but without a meaningful error message.
(merge 2d81c48fa7 sb/pathspec-errors later to maint).
* Typing ^C to pager, which usually does not kill it, killed Git and
took the pager down as a collateral damage in certain process-tree
structure. This has been fixed.
* "git mergetool" without any pathspec on the command line that is
run from a subdirectory became no-op in Git v2.11 by mistake, which
has been fixed.
* Retire long unused/unmaintained gitview from the contrib/ area.
(merge 3120925c25 sb/remove-gitview later to maint).
* Tighten a test to avoid mistaking an extended ERE regexp engine as
a PRE regexp engine.
* An error message with an ASCII control character like '\r' in it
can alter the message to hide its early part, which is problematic
when a remote side gives such an error message that the local side
will relay with a "remote: " prefix.
(merge f290089879 jk/vreport-sanitize later to maint).
* "git fsck" inspects loose objects more carefully now.
(merge cce044df7f jk/loose-object-fsck later to maint).
* A crashing bug introduced in v2.11 timeframe has been found (it is
triggerable only in fast-import) and fixed.
(merge abd5a00268 jk/clear-delta-base-cache-fix later to maint).
* With an anticipatory tweak for remotes defined in ~/.gitconfig
(e.g. "remote.origin.prune" set to true, even though there may or
may not actually be "origin" remote defined in a particular Git
repository), "git remote rename" and other commands misinterpreted
and behaved as if such a non-existing remote actually existed.
(merge e459b073fb js/remote-rename-with-half-configured-remote later to maint).
* A few codepaths had to rely on a global variable when sorting
elements of an array because sort(3) API does not allow extra data
to be passed to the comparison function. Use qsort_s() when
natively available, and a fallback implementation of it when not,
to eliminate the need, which is a prerequisite for making the
codepath reentrant.
* "git fsck --connectivity-check" was not working at all.
(merge a2b22854bd jk/fsck-connectivity-check-fix later to maint).
* After starting "git rebase -i", which first opens the user's editor
to edit the series of patches to apply, but before saving the
contents of that file, "git status" failed to show the current
state (i.e. you are in an interactive rebase session, but you have
applied no steps yet) correctly.
(merge df9ded4984 js/status-pre-rebase-i later to maint).
* Test tweak for FreeBSD where /usr/bin/unzip is unsuitable to run
our tests but /usr/local/bin/unzip is usable.
(merge d98b2c5fce js/unzip-in-usr-bin-workaround later to maint).
* "git p4" did not work well with multiple git-p4.mapUser entries on
Windows.
(merge c3c2b05776 gv/mingw-p4-mapuser later to maint).
* "git help" enumerates executable files in $PATH; the implementation
of "is this file executable?" on Windows has been optimized.
(merge c755015f79 hv/mingw-help-is-executable later to maint).
* Test tweaks for those who have default ACL in their git source tree
that interfere with the umask test.
(merge d549d21307 mm/reset-facl-before-umask-test later to maint).
* Names of the various hook scripts must be spelled exactly, but on
Windows, an .exe binary must be named with .exe suffix; notice
$GIT_DIR/hooks/<hookname>.exe as a valid <hookname> hook.
(merge 235be51fbe js/mingw-hooks-with-exe-suffix later to maint).
* Asciidoctor, an alternative reimplementation of AsciiDoc, still
needs some changes to work with documents meant to be formatted
with AsciiDoc. "make USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=YesPlease" to use it out of
the box to document our pages is getting closer to reality.
* Correct command line completion (in contrib/) on "git svn"
(merge 2cbad17642 ew/complete-svn-authorship-options later to maint).
* Incorrect usage help message for "git worktree prune" has been fixed.
(merge 2488dcab22 ps/worktree-prune-help-fix later to maint).
* Adjust a perf test to new world order where commands that do
require a repository are really strict about having a repository.
(merge c86000c1a7 rs/p5302-create-repositories-before-tests later to maint).
* "git log --graph" did not work well with "--name-only", even though
other forms of "diff" output were handled correctly.
(merge f5022b5fed jk/log-graph-name-only later to maint).
* Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
(merge f2627d9b19 sb/submodule-config-cleanup later to maint).
(merge 384f1a167b sb/unpack-trees-cleanup later to maint).
(merge 874444b704 rh/diff-orderfile-doc later to maint).
(merge eafd5d9483 cw/doc-sign-off later to maint).
