Git 2.19 Release Notes
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v2.18
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* "git diff" compares the index and the working tree. For paths
|
|
added with intent-to-add bit, the command shows the full contents
|
|
of them as added, but the paths themselves were not marked as new
|
|
files. They are now shown as new by default.
|
|
|
|
"git apply" learned the "--intent-to-add" option so that an
|
|
otherwise working-tree-only application of a patch will add new
|
|
paths to the index marked with the "intent-to-add" bit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
|
|
|
|
* The bulk of "git submodule foreach" has been rewritten in C.
|
|
|
|
* The in-core "commit" object had an all-purpose "void *util" field,
|
|
which was tricky to use especially in library-ish part of the
|
|
code. All of the existing uses of the field has been migrated to a
|
|
more dedicated "commit-slab" mechanism and the field is eliminated.
|
|
|
|
* A less often used command "git show-index" has been modernized.
|
|
(merge fb3010c31f jk/show-index later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The conversion to pass "the_repository" and then "a_repository"
|
|
throughout the object access API continues.
|
|
|
|
* Continuing with the idea to programatically enumerate various
|
|
pieces of data required for command line completion, teach the
|
|
codebase to report the list of configuration variables
|
|
subcommands care about to help complete them.
|
|
|
|
* Separate "rebase -p" codepath out of "rebase -i" implementation to
|
|
slim down the latter and make it easier to manage.
|
|
|
|
* Make refspec parsing codepath more robust.
|
|
|
|
* Some flaky tests have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Continuing with the idea to programmatically enumerate various
|
|
pieces of data required for command line completion, the codebase
|
|
has been taught to enumerate options prefixed with "--no-" to
|
|
negate them.
|
|
|
|
* Build and test procedure for netrc credential helper (in contrib/)
|
|
has been updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.18
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
* "git remote update" can take both a single remote nickname and a
|
|
nickname for remote groups, and the completion script (in contrib/)
|
|
has been taught about it.
|
|
(merge 9cd4382ad5 ls/complete-remote-update-names later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch --shallow-since=<cutoff>" that specifies the cut-off
|
|
point that is newer than the existing history used to end up
|
|
grabbing the entire history. Such a request now errors out.
|
|
(merge e34de73c56 nd/reject-empty-shallow-request later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* Fix for 2.17-era regression around `core.safecrlf`.
|
|
(merge 6cb09125be as/safecrlf-quiet-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The recent addition of "partial clone" experimental feature kicked
|
|
in when it shouldn't, namely, when there is no partial-clone filter
|
|
defined even if extensions.partialclone is set.
|
|
(merge cac1137dc4 jh/partial-clone later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git send-pack --signed" (hence "git push --signed" over the http
|
|
transport) did not read user ident from the config mechanism to
|
|
determine whom to sign the push certificate as, which has been
|
|
corrected.
|
|
(merge d067d98887 ms/send-pack-honor-config later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch-pack --all" used to unnecessarily fail upon seeing an
|
|
annotated tag that points at an object other than a commit.
|
|
(merge c12c9df527 jk/fetch-all-peeled-fix later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* When user edits the patch in "git add -p" and the user's editor is
|
|
set to strip trailing whitespaces indiscriminately, an empty line
|
|
that is unchanged in the patch would become completely empty
|
|
(instead of a line with a sole SP on it). The code introduced in
|
|
Git 2.17 timeframe failed to parse such a patch, but now it learned
|
|
to notice the situation and cope with it.
|
|
(merge f4d35a6b49 pw/add-p-recount later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* The code to try seeing if a fetch is necessary in a submodule
|
|
during a fetch with --recurse-submodules got confused when the path
|
|
to the submodule was changed in the range of commits in the
|
|
superproject, sometimes showing "(null)". This has been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* Code cleanup.
|
|
(merge aee9be2ebe sg/update-ref-stdin-cleanup later to maint).
|
|
(merge 037714252f jc/clean-after-sanity-tests later to maint).
