This is primarily +to flush the "do you still use it?" improvements that has landed on +the master front, together with a handful of low-hanging, low-impact +fixes that should be safe. + + +Fixes since Git 2.51.0 +---------------------- + + * The "do you still use it?" message given by a command that is + deeply deprecated and allow us to suggest alternatives has been + updated. + + * The compatObjectFormat extension is used to hide an incomplete + feature that is not yet usable for any purpose other than + developing the feature further. Document it as such to discourage + its use by mere mortals. + + * Manual page for "gitk" is updated with the current maintainer's + name. + + * Update the instructions for using GGG in the MyFirstContribution + document to say that a GitHub PR could be made against `git/git` + instead of `gitgitgadget/git`. + + * Clang-format update to let our control macros be formatted the way we + had them traditionally, e.g., "for_each_string_list_item()" without + space before the parentheses. + + * A few places where a size_t value was cast to curl_off_t without + checking has been updated to use the existing helper function. + + * The start_delayed_progress() function in the progress eye-candy API + did not clear its internal state, making an initial delay value + larger than 1 second ineffective, which has been corrected. + + * Makefile tried to run multiple "cargo build" which would not work + very well; serialize their execution to work around this problem. + + * Adjust to the way newer versions of cURL selectively enable tracing + options, so that our tests can continue to work. + + * During interactive rebase, using 'drop' on a merge commit led to + an error, which has been corrected. + + * "git refs migrate" to migrate the reflog entries from a refs + backend to another had a handful of bugs squashed. + + * "git push" had a code path that led to BUG() but it should have + been a die(), as it is a response to a usual but invalid end-user + action to attempt pushing an object that does not exist. + + * Various bugs about rename handling in "ort" merge strategy have + been fixed. + + * "git diff --no-index" run inside a subdirectory under control of a + Git repository operated at the top of the working tree and stripped + the prefix from the output, and oddballs like "-" (stdin) did not + work correctly because of it. Correct the set-up by undoing what + the set-up sequence did to cwd and prefix. + + * Various options to "git diff" that make comparison ignore certain + aspects of the differences (like "space changes are ignored", + "differences in lines that match these regular expressions are + ignored") did not work well with "--name-only" and friends. + + * Under a race against another process that is repacking the + repository, especially a partially cloned one, "git fetch" may + mistakenly think some objects we do have are missing, which has + been corrected. + + * "git repack --path-walk" lost objects in some corner cases, which + has been corrected. + cf. <CABPp-BHFxxGrqKc0m==TjQNjDGdO=H5Rf6EFsf2nfE1=TuraOQ@mail.gmail.com> + + * Fixes multiple crashes around midx write-out codepaths. + + * A broken or malicious "git fetch" can say that it has the same + object for many many times, and the upload-pack serving it can + exhaust memory storing them redundantly, which has been corrected. + + * A corner case bug in "git log -L..." has been corrected. + + * Some among "git add -p" and friends ignored color.diff and/or + color.ui configuration variables, which is an old regression, which + has been corrected. + + * "git rebase -i" failed to clean-up the commit log message when the + command commits the final one in a chain of "fixup" commands, which + has been corrected. + + * Deal more gracefully with directory / file conflicts when the files + backend is used for ref storage, by failing only the ones that are + involved in the conflict while allowing others. + +Also contains various documentation updates, code cleanups and minor fixups. diff --git a/Documentation/RelNotes/2.52.0.adoc b/Documentation/RelNotes/2.52.0.adoc index 1e5281188f..8c4ed4eef4 100644 --- a/Documentation/RelNotes/2.52.0.adoc +++ b/Documentation/RelNotes/2.52.0.adoc @@ -44,6 +44,17 @@ UI, Workflows & Features * The stash.index configuration variable can be set to make "git stash pop/apply" pretend that it was invoked with "--index". + * "git fast-import" learned that "--signed-commits=<how>" option that + corresponds to that of "git fast-export". + + * Marking a hunk 'selected' in "git add -p" and then splitting made + all the split pieces 'selected'; this has been changed to make them + all 'undecided', which gives better end-user experience. + + * Configuration variables that take a pathname as a value + (e.g. blame.ignorerevsfile) can be marked as optional by prefixing + ":(optoinal)" before its value. + Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. -------------------------------------------------------------- @@ -83,9 +94,13 @@ Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. singleton variable, which has been updated to pass an instance throughout the callchain. + * The work to build on the bulk-checkin infrastructure to create many + objects at once in a transaction and to abstract it into the + generic object layer continues. + * CodingGuidelines now spells out how bitfields are to be written. - * Adjust to the way newer versions of cURL selectivel enables tracing + * Adjust to the way newer versions of cURL selectively enable tracing options, so that our tests can continue to work.
