Git v1.8.4 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Updates since v1.8.3
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Foreign interface
|
|
|
|
* Remote transport helper has been updated to report errors and
|
|
maintain ref hierarchy used to keep track of its own state better.
|
|
|
|
|
|
UI, Workflows & Features
|
|
|
|
* "check-ignore" (new feature since 1.8.2) has been updated to work
|
|
more like "check-attr" over bidi-pipes.
|
|
|
|
* We used the approxidate() parser for "--expire=<timestamp>" options
|
|
of various commands, but it is better to treat --expire=all and
|
|
--expire=now a bit more specially than using the current timestamp.
|
|
"git gc" and "git reflog" have been updated with a new parsing
|
|
function for expiry dates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Performance, Internal Implementation, etc.
|
|
|
|
* Object lookup logic, when the object hashtable starts to become
|
|
crowded, has been optimized.
|
|
|
|
* When TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY setting is used, it was handled somewhat
|
|
inconsistently between the test framework and t/Makefile, and logic
|
|
to summarize the results looked at a wrong place.
|
|
|
|
* Many warnings from sparse source checker in compat/ area has been
|
|
squelched.
|
|
|
|
* The code to reading and updating packed-refs file has been updated,
|
|
correcting corner case bugs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.8.3
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.8.3 in the maintenance
|
|
track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
|
|
details).
|
|
|
|
* When $HOME is misconfigured to point at an unreadable directory, we
|
|
used to complain and die. Loosen the check.
|
|
(merge 4698c8f jn/config-ignore-inaccessible later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git subtree" (in contrib/) had one codepath with loose error
|
|
checks to lose data at the remote side.
|
|
(merge 3212d56 jk/subtree-do-not-push-if-split-fails later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch" into a shallow repository from a repository that does
|
|
not know about the shallow boundary commits (e.g. a different fork
|
|
from the repository the current shallow repository was cloned from)
|
|
did not work correctly.
|
|
(merge 71d5f93 mh/fetch-into-shallow later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout foo" DWIMs the intended "upstream" and turns it into
|
|
"git checkout -t -b foo remotes/origin/foo". This codepath has been
|
|
updated to correctly take existing remote definitions into account.
|
|
(merge 229177a jh/checkout-auto-tracking later to maint).
