Git v2.8.3 Release Notes
|
|
|
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.8.2
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git send-email" now uses a more readable timestamps when
|
|
|
|
|
formulating a message ID.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The repository set-up sequence has been streamlined (the biggest
|
|
|
|
|
change is that there is no longer git_config_early()), so that we
|
|
|
|
|
do not attempt to look into refs/* when we know we do not have a
|
|
|
|
|
Git repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When "git worktree" feature is in use, "git branch -d" allowed
|
|
|
|
|
deletion of a branch that is checked out in another worktree
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When "git worktree" feature is in use, "git branch -m" renamed a
|
|
|
|
|
branch that is checked out in another worktree without adjusting
|
|
|
|
|
the HEAD symbolic ref for the worktree.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git format-patch --help" showed `-s` and `--no-patch` as if these
|
|
|
|
|
are valid options to the command. We already hide `--patch` option
|
|
|
|
|
from the documentation, because format-patch is about showing the
|
|
|
|
|
diff, and the documentation now hides these options as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A change back in version 2.7 to "git branch" broke display of a
|
|
|
|
|
symbolic ref in a non-standard place in the refs/ hierarchy (we
|
|
|
|
|
expect symbolic refs to appear in refs/remotes/*/HEAD to point at
|
|
|
|
|
the primary branch the remote has, and as .git/HEAD to point at the
|
|
|
|
|
branch we locally checked out).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A partial rewrite of "git submodule" in the 2.7 timeframe changed
|
|
|
|
|
the way the gitdir: pointer in the submodules point at the real
|
|
|
|
|
repository location to use absolute paths by accident. This has
|
|
|
|
|
been corrected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git commit" misbehaved in a few minor ways when an empty message
|
|
|
|
|
is given via -m '', all of which has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Support for CRAM-MD5 authentication method in "git imap-send" did
|
|
|
|
|
not work well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The socks5:// proxy support added back in 2.6.4 days was not aware
|
|
|
|
|
that socks5h:// proxies behave differently.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git config" had a codepath that tried to pass a NULL to
|
|
|
|
|
printf("%s"), which nobody seems to have noticed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* On Cygwin, object creation uses the "create a temporary and then
|
|
|
|
|
rename it to the final name" pattern, not "create a temporary,
|
|
|
|
|
hardlink it to the final name and then unlink the temporary"
|
|
|
|
|
pattern.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is necessary to use Git on Windows shared directories, and is
|
|
|
|
|
already enabled for the MinGW and plain Windows builds. It also
|
|
|
|
|
has been used in Cygwin packaged versions of Git for quite a while.

|
|
|
* "git replace -e" did not honour "core.editor" configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Upcoming OpenSSL 1.1.0 will break compilation b updating a few APIs
|
|
|
|
|
we use in imap-send, which has been adjusted for the change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule" reports the paths of submodules the command
|
|
|
|
|
recurses into, but this was incorrect when the command was not run
|
|
|
|
|
from the root level of the superproject.
