It now says that the + user needs to give pathspec to specify what paths to checkout. + + * It has been documented that we avoid "VAR=VAL shell_func" and why. + + * "git add -p" by users with diff.suppressBlankEmpty set to true + failed to parse the patch that represents an unmodified empty line + with an empty line (not a line with a single space on it), which + has been corrected. + + * "git rebase --help" referred to "offset" (the difference between + the location a change was taken from and the change gets replaced) + incorrectly and called it "fuzz", which has been corrected. + + * "git notes add -m '' --allow-empty" and friends that take prepared + data to create notes should not invoke an editor, but it started + doing so since Git 2.42, which has been corrected. + + * An expensive operation to prepare tracing was done in re-encoding + code path even when the tracing was not requested, which has been + corrected. + + * Perforce tests have been updated. + + * The credential helper to talk to OSX keychain sometimes sent + garbage bytes after the username, which has been corrected. + + * A recent update broke "git ls-remote" used outside a repository, + which has been corrected. + + * "git config --value=foo --fixed-value section.key newvalue" barfed + when the existing value in the configuration file used the + valueless true syntax, which has been corrected. + + * "git reflog expire" failed to honor annotated tags when computing + reachable commits. + + * A flakey test and incorrect calls to strtoX() functions have been + fixed. + + * Follow-up on 2.45.1 regression fix. + + * "git rev-list ... | git diff-tree -p --remerge-diff --stdin" should + behave more or less like "git log -p --remerge-diff" but instead it + crashed, forgetting to prepare a temporary object store needed. + + * The patch parser in "git patch-id" has been tightened to avoid + getting confused by lines that look like a patch header in the log + message. + + * "git bundle unbundle" outside a repository triggered a BUG() + unnecessarily, which has been corrected. + + * The code forgot to discard unnecessary in-core commit buffer data + for commits that "git log --skip=<number>" traversed but omitted + from the output, which has been corrected. + + * "git verify-pack" and "git index-pack" started dying outside a + repository, which has been corrected. + + * A corner case bug in "git stash" was fixed. + +Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
