Git v2.9.1 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.9
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
* When "git daemon" is run without --[init-]timeout specified, a
|
|
connection from a client that silently goes offline can hang around
|
|
for a long time, wasting resources. The socket-level KEEPALIVE has
|
|
been enabled to allow the OS to notice such failed connections.
|
|
|
|
* The commands in `git log` family take %C(auto) in a custom format
|
|
string. This unconditionally turned the color on, ignoring
|
|
--no-color or with --color=auto when the output is not connected to
|
|
a tty; this was corrected to make the format truly behave as
|
|
"auto".
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-list --count" whose walk-length is limited with "-n"
|
|
option did not work well with the counting optimized to look at the
|
|
bitmap index.
|
|
|
|
* "git show -W" (extend hunks to cover the entire function, delimited
|
|
by lines that match the "funcname" pattern) used to show the entire
|
|
file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file,
|
|
which has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* The documentation set has been updated so that literal commands,
|
|
configuration variables and environment variables are consistently
|
|
typeset in fixed-width font and bold in manpages.
|
|
|
|
* "git svn propset" subcommand that was added in 2.3 days is
|
|
documented now.
|
|
|
|
* The documentation tries to consistently spell "GPG"; when
|
|
referring to the specific program name, "gpg" is used.
|
|
|
|
* "git reflog" stopped upon seeing an entry that denotes a branch
|
|
creation event (aka "unborn"), which made it appear as if the
|
|
reflog was truncated.
|
|
|
|
* The git-prompt scriptlet (in contrib/) was not friendly with those
|
|
who uses "set -u", which has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* A codepath that used alloca(3) to place an unbounded amount of data
|
|
on the stack has been updated to avoid doing so.
|
|
|
|
* "git update-index --add --chmod=+x file" may be usable as an escape
|
|
hatch, but not a friendly thing to force for people who do need to
|
|
use it regularly. "git add --chmod=+x file" can be used instead.
|
|
|
|
* Build improvements for gnome-keyring (in contrib/)
|
|
|
|
* "git status" used to say "working directory" when it meant "working
|
|
tree".
|
|
|
|
* Comments about misbehaving FreeBSD shells have been clarified with
|
|
the version number (9.x and before are broken, newer ones are OK).
|
|
|
|
* "git cherry-pick A" worked on an unborn branch, but "git
|
|
cherry-pick A..B" didn't.
|
|
|
|
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
