The command has been + updated to color all elements consistently in such a case. + + * Unicode width table update. + + * Recent OpenSSH creates the Unix domain socket to communicate with + ssh-agent under $HOME instead of /tmp, which causes our test to + fail doe to overly long pathname in our test environment, which has + been worked around by using "ssh-agent -T". + +Also contains various documentation updates, code cleanups and minor fixups. diff --git a/GIT-VERSION-GEN b/GIT-VERSION-GEN index 13d3557666..309bccb019 100755 --- a/GIT-VERSION-GEN +++ b/GIT-VERSION-GEN @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ #!/bin/sh -DEF_VER=v2.51.1 +DEF_VER=v2.51.2 LF=' ' @@ -1 +1 @@ -Documentation/RelNotes/2.51.1.adoc
