|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* It was cumbersome to use "GIT_SSH" mechanism when the user wanted
|
|
|
|
|
to pass an extra set of arguments to the underlying ssh. A new
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable GIT_SSH_COMMAND can be used for this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A request to store an empty note via "git notes" meant to remove
|
|
|
|
|
note from the object but with --allow-empty we will store a
|
|
|
|
|
(surprise!) note that is empty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Fixes since v2.2
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.2 in the maintenance
|
|
|
|
|
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
|
|
|
|
|
notes for details).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout $treeish $path", when $path in the index and the
|
|
|
|
|
working tree already matched what is in $treeish at the $path,
|
|
|
|
|
still overwrote the $path unnecessarily.
|
|
|
|
|
(merge c5326bd jk/checkout-from-tree later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* "git config --get-color" did not parse its command line arguments
|
|
|
|
|
carefully.
|
|
|
|
|
(merge cb35722 jk/colors-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
* open() emulated on Windows platforms did not give EISDIR upon
|
|
|
|
|
an attempt to open a directory for writing.
|
|
|
|
|
(merge ba6fad0 js/windows-open-eisdir-error later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A few code paths used abs() when they should have used labs() on
|
|
|
|
|
long integers.
|
|
|
|
|
(merge 83915ba rs/maint-config-use-labs later to maint).

|
(merge 31a8aa1 rs/receive-pack-use-labs later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
* "gitweb" used to depend on a behaviour recent CGI.pm deprecated.
|
|
|
|
|
(merge 13dbf46 jk/gitweb-with-newer-cgi-multi-param later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "git init" (hence "git clone") initialized the per-repository
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file .git/config with x-bit by mistake.
|
|
|
|
|
(merge 1f32ecf mh/config-flip-xbit-back-after-checking later to maint).
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Git 2.0 was supposed to make the "simple" mode for the default of
|
|
|
|
|
"git push", but it didn't.
|
|
|
|
|
(merge 00a6fa0 jk/push-simple later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* "Everyday" document had a broken link.
|
|
|
|
|
(merge 366c8d4 po/everyday-doc later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A few test fixes.
|
|
|
|
|
(merge 880ef58 jk/no-perl-tests later to maint).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The build procedure did not bother fixing perl and python scripts
|
|
|
|
|
when NO_PERL and NO_PYTHON build-time configuration changed.
|
|
|
|
|
(merge ca2051d jk/rebuild-perl-scripts-with-no-perl-seting-change later to maint).
