Git v2.48 Release Notes (draft)
===============================
UI, Workflows & Features
------------------------
* A new configuration variable remote.<name>.serverOption makes the
transport layer act as if the --serverOption=<value> option is
given from the command line.
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" now uses branch names as labels when
able.
* Describe the policy to introduce breaking changes.
* Teach 'git notes add' and 'git notes append' a new '-e' flag,
instructing them to open the note in $GIT_EDITOR before saving.
* Documentation for "git bundle" saw improvements to more prominently
call out the use of '--all' when creating bundles.
* Drop support for older libcURL and Perl.
* End-user experience of "git mergetool" when the command errors out
has been improved.
* "git bundle --unbundle" and "git clone" running on a bundle file
both learned to trigger fsck over the new objects with configurable
fck check levels.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------
* Document "amlog" notes.
* The way AsciiDoc is used for SYNOPSIS part of the manual pages has
been revamped. The sources, at least for the simple cases, got
vastly pleasant to work with.
* The reftable library is now prepared to expect that the memory
allocation function given to it may fail to allocate and to deal
with such an error.
* An extra worktree attached to a repository points at each other to
allow finding the repository from the worktree and vice versa
possible. Turn this linkage to relative paths.
* Enable Windows-based CI in GitLab.
* Commands that can also work outside Git have learned to take the
repository instance "repo" when we know we are in a repository, and
NULL when we are not, in a parameter. The uses of the_repository
variable in a few of them have been removed using the new calling
convention.
* The reftable sub-system grew a new reftable-specific strbuf
replacement to reduce its dependency on Git-specific data
structures.
* The ref-filter machinery learns to recognize and avoid cases where
sorting would be redundant.
* Various platform compatibility fixes split out of the larger effort
to use Meson as the primary build tool.
* Treat ECONNABORTED the same as ECONNRESET in 'git credential-cache'
to work around a possible Cygwin regression. This resolves a race
condition caused by changes in Cygwin's handling of socket
closures, allowing the client to exit cleanly when encountering
ECONNABORTED.
* Demonstrate an assertion failure in 'git mv'.
* Documentation update to clarify that 'uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant'
implies both 'allowTipSHA1InWant' and 'allowReachableSHA1InWant'.
* Replace various calls to atoi() with strtol_i() and strtoul_ui(),
and add improved error handling.
* Documentation updates to 'git-update-ref(1)'.
* Update the project's CodingGuidelines to discourage naming functions
with a "_1()" suffix.
* Updates the '.clang-format' to match project conventions.
* Centralize documentation for repository extensions into a single place.
* Buildfix and upgrade of Clar to a newer version.
* Documentation mark-up updates.
* Renaming a handful of variables and structure fields.
* Fix for clar unit tests to support CMake build.
* C23 compatibility updates.
* GCC 15 compatibility updates.
* We now ensure "index-pack" is used with the "--promisor" option
only during a "git fetch".
* The migration procedure between two ref backends has been optimized.
* "git fsck" learned to issue warnings on "curiously formatted" ref
contents that have always been taken valid but something Git
wouldn't have written itself (e.g., missing terminating end-of-line
after the full object name).
* Work around Coverity warning that would not trigger in practice.
* Built-in Git subcommands are supplied the repository object to work
with; they learned to do the same when they invoke sub-subcommands.
* Drop support for ancient environments in various CI jobs.
* Isolates the reftable subsystem from the rest of Git's codebase by
using fewer pieces of Git's infrastructure.
* Optimize reading random references out of the reftable backend by
allowing reuse of iterator objects.
* Backport oss-fuzz tests for us to our codebase.
* Introduce a new repository extension to prevent older Git versions
from mis-interpreting worktrees created with relative paths.
* Yet another "pass the repository through the callchain" topic.
* "git describe" learned to stop digging the history needlessly
deeper.
* Build procedure update plus introduction of Meson based builds.
Fixes since v2.47
-----------------
* Doc update to clarify how periodical maintenance are scheduled,
spread across time to avoid thundering hurds.
* Use after free and double freeing at the end in "git log -L... -p"
had been identified and fixed.
* On macOS, fsmonitor can fall into a race condition that results in
a client waiting forever to be notified for an event that have
already happened. This problem has been corrected.
* "git maintenance start" crashed due to an uninitialized variable
reference, which has been corrected.
* Fail gracefully instead of crashing when attempting to write the
contents of a corrupt in-core index as a tree object.
* A "git fetch" from the superproject going down to a submodule used
a wrong remote when the default remote names are set differently
between them.
* Fixes compile time warnings with 64-bit MSVC.
* Teaches 'shortlog' to explicitly use SHA-1 when operating outside
of a repository.
* Fix 'git grep' regression on macOS by disabling lookahead when
encountering invalid UTF-8 byte sequences.
* The dumb-http code regressed when the result of re-indexing a pack
yielded an *.idx file that differs in content from the *.idx file
it downloaded from the remote. This has been corrected by no longer
relying on: the *.idx file we got from the remote.
* When called with '--left-right' and '--use-bitmap-index', 'rev-list'
will produce output without any left/right markers, which has been
corrected.
* More leakfixes.
* Test modernization.
* The "--shallow-exclude=<ref>" option to various history transfer
commands takes a ref, not an arbitrary revision.
* A regression where commit objects missing from a commit-graph can
cause an infinite loop when doing a fetch in a partial clone has
been fixed.
* The MinGW compatibility layer has been taught to support POSIX
semantics for atomic renames when other process(es) have a file
opened at the destination path.
* "git gc" discards any objects that are outside promisor packs that
are referred to by an object in a promisor pack, and we do not
refetch them from the promisor at runtime, resulting an unusable
repository. Work it around by including these objects in the
referring promisor pack at the receiving end of the fetch.
* Avoid build/test breakage on a system without working malloc debug
support dynamic library.
(merge 72ad6dc368 jk/test-malloc-debug-check later to maint).
* Double-free fix.
(merge fe17a25905 jk/fetch-prefetch-double-free-fix later to maint).
* Use of some uninitialized variables in "git difftool" has been
corrected.
* Object reuse code based on multi-pack-index sent an unwanted copy
of object.
(merge e199290592 tb/multi-pack-reuse-dupfix later to maint).
* "git fast-import" can be tricked into a replace ref that maps an
object to itself, which is a useless thing to do.
(merge 5e904f1a4a en/fast-import-avoid-self-replace later to maint).
* The ref-transaction hook triggered for reflog updates, which has
been corrected.
(merge b886db48c6 kn/ref-transaction-hook-with-reflog later to maint).
* Give a bit of advice/hint message when "git maintenance" stops finding a
lock file left by another instance that still is potentially running.
(merge ba874d1dac ps/gc-stale-lock-warning later to maint).
* Use the right helper program to measure file size in performance tests.
(merge 3f97f1bce6 tb/use-test-file-size-more later to maint).
* A double-free that may not trigger in practice by luck has been
corrected in the reference resolution code.
(merge b6318cf23a sj/refs-symref-referent-fix later to maint).
* The sequencer failed to honor core.commentString in some places.
* Describe a case where an option value needs to be spelled as a
separate argument, i.e. "--opt val", not "--opt=val".
(merge 1bc1e94091 jc/doc-opt-tilde-expand later to maint).
* Loosen overly strict ownership check introduced in the recent past,
to keep the promise "cloning a suspicious repository is a safe
first step to inspect it".
(merge 0ffb5a6bf1 bc/allow-upload-pack-from-other-people later to maint).
* "git fast-import" learned to reject paths with ".." and "." as
their components to avoid creating invalid tree objects.
(merge 8cb4c6e62f en/fast-import-verify-path later to maint).
* The --ancestry-path option is designed to be given a commit that is
on the path, which was not documented, which has been corrected.
(merge bc1a980759 kk/doc-ancestry-path later to maint).
* "git tag" has been taught to refuse to create refs/tags/HEAD
as such a tag will be confusing in the context of UI provided by
the Git Porcelain commands.
(merge bbd445d5ef jc/forbid-head-as-tagname later to maint).
* The advice messages now tell the newer 'git config set' command to
set the advice.token configuration variable to squelch a message.
(merge 6c397d0104 bf/explicit-config-set-in-advice-messages later to maint).
* The syntax ":/<text>" to name the latest commit with the matching
text was broken with a recent change, which has been corrected.
(merge 0ff919e87a ps/commit-with-message-syntax-fix later to maint).
* Fix performance regression of a recent "fatten promisor pack with
local objects" protection against an unwanted gc.
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge 77af53f56f aa/t7300-modernize later to maint).
(merge dcd590a39d bf/t-readme-mention-reftable later to maint).
