git: update to 2.36.0
Git 2.36 Release Notes
======================
Updates since Git 2.35
----------------------
Backward compatibility warts
* "git name-rev --stdin" has been deprecated and issues a warning
when used; use "git name-rev --annotate-stdin" instead.
* "git clone --filter=... --recurse-submodules" only makes the
top-level a partial clone, while submodules are fully cloned. This
behaviour is changed to pass the same filter down to the submodules.
* With the fixes for CVE-2022-24765 that are common with versions of
Git 2.30.4, 2.31.3, 2.32.2, 2.33.3, 2.34.3, and 2.35.3, Git has
been taught not to recognise repositories owned by other users, in
order to avoid getting affected by their config files and hooks.
You can list the path to the safe/trusted repositories that may be
owned by others on a multi-valued configuration variable
`safe.directory` to override this behaviour, or use '*' to declare
that you trust anything.
Note to those who build from the source
* Since Git 2.31, our source assumed that the compiler you use to
build Git supports variadic macros, with an easy-to-use escape
hatch to allow compilation without variadic macros with an request
to report that you had to use the escape hatch to the list.
Because we haven't heard from anybody who actually needed to use
the escape hatch, it has been removed, making support of variadic
macros a hard requirement.
UI, Workflows & Features
* Assorted updates to "git cat-file", especially "-h".
* The command line completion (in contrib/) learns to complete
arguments to give to "git sparse-checkout" command.
* "git log --remerge-diff" shows the difference from mechanical merge
result and the result that is actually recorded in a merge commit.
* "git log" and friends learned an option --exclude-first-parent-only
to propagate UNINTERESTING bit down only along the first-parent
chain, just like --first-parent option shows commits that lack the
UNINTERESTING bit only along the first-parent chain.
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to
complete all Git subcommands, including the ones that are normally
hidden, when GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS is used.
* "git branch" learned the "--recurse-submodules" option.
* A user can forget to make a script file executable before giving
it to "git bisect run". In such a case, all tests will exit with
126 or 127 error codes, even on revisions that are marked as good.
Try to recognize this situation and stop iteration early.
* When "index-pack" dies due to incoming data exceeding the maximum
allowed input size, include the value of the limit in the error
message.
* The error message given by "git switch HEAD~4" has been clarified
to suggest the "--detach" option that is required.
* In sparse-checkouts, files mis-marked as missing from the working tree
could lead to later problems. Such files were hard to discover, and
harder to correct. Automatically detecting and correcting the marking
of such files has been added to avoid these problems.
* "git cat-file" learns "--batch-command" mode, which is a more
flexible interface than the existing "--batch" or "--batch-check"
modes, to allow different kinds of inquiries made.
* The level of verbose output from the ort backend during inner merge
has been aligned to that of the recursive backend.
* "git remote rename A B", depending on the number of remote-tracking
refs involved, takes long time renaming them. The command has been
taught to show progress bar while making the user wait.
* Bundle file format gets extended to allow a partial bundle,
filtered by similar criteria you would give when making a
partial/lazy clone.
* A new built-in userdiff driver for kotlin has been added.
* "git repack" learned a new configuration to disable triggering of
age-old "update-server-info" command, which is rarely useful these
days.
* "git stash" does not allow subcommands it internally runs as its
implementation detail, except for "git reset", to emit messages;
now "git reset" part has also been squelched.
* "git ls-tree" learns "--oid-only" option, similar to "--name-only",
and more generalized "--format" option.
* "git fetch --refetch" learned to fetch everything without telling
the other side what we already have, which is useful when you
cannot trust what you have in the local object store.
* "git branch" gives hint when branch tracking cannot be established
because fetch refspecs from multiple remote repositories overlap.
* "git worktree list --porcelain" did not c-quote pathnames and lock
reasons with unsafe bytes correctly, which is worked around by
introducing NUL terminated output format with "-z".
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* "git apply" (ab)used the util pointer of the string-list to keep
track of how each symbolic link needs to be handled, which has been
simplified by using strset.
* Fix a hand-rolled alloca() imitation that may have violated
alignment requirement of data being sorted in compatibility
implementation of qsort_s() and stable qsort().
* Use the parse-options API in "git reflog" command.
* The conditional inclusion mechanism of configuration files using
"[includeIf <condition>]" learns to base its decision on the
URL of the remote repository the repository interacts with.
(merge 399b198489 jt/conditional-config-on-remote-url later to maint).
* "git name-rev --stdin" does not behave like usual "--stdin" at
all. Start the process of renaming it to "--annotate-stdin".
(merge a2585719b3 jc/name-rev-stdin later to maint).
* "git update-index", "git checkout-index", and "git clean" are
taught to work better with the sparse checkout feature.
* Use an internal call to reset_head() helper function instead of
spawning "git checkout" in "rebase", and update code paths that are
involved in the change.
* Messages "ort" merge backend prepares while dealing with conflicted
paths were unnecessarily confusing since it did not differentiate
inner merges and outer merges.
* Small modernization of the rerere-train script (in contrib/).
* Use designated initializers we started using in mid 2017 in more
parts of the codebase that are relatively quiescent.
* Improve failure case behaviour of xdiff library when memory
allocation fails.
* General clean-up in reftable implementation, including
clarification of the API documentation, tightening the code to
honor documented length limit, etc.
* Remove the escape hatch we added when we introduced the weather
balloon to use variadic macros unconditionally, to make it official
that we now have a hard dependency on the feature.
* Makefile refactoring with a bit of suffixes rule stripping to
optimize the runtime overhead.
* "git stash drop" is reimplemented as an internal call to
reflog_delete() function, instead of invoking "git reflog delete"
via run_command() API.
* Count string_list items in size_t, not "unsigned int".
* The single-key interactive operation used by "git add -p" has been
made more robust.
* Remove unneeded <meta http-equiv=content-type...> from gitweb
output.
* "git name-rev" learned to use the generation numbers when setting
the lower bound of searching commits used to explain the revision,
when available, instead of committer time.
* Replace core.fsyncObjectFiles with two new configuration variables,
core.fsync and core.fsyncMethod.
* Updates to refs traditionally weren't fsync'ed, but we can
configure using core.fsync variable to do so.
* "git reflog" command now uses parse-options API to parse its
command line options.
Fixes since v2.35
-----------------
* "rebase" and "stash" in secondary worktrees are broken in
Git 2.35.0, which has been corrected.
* "git pull --rebase" ignored the rebase.autostash configuration
variable when the remote history is a descendant of our history,
which has been corrected.
(merge 3013d98d7a pb/pull-rebase-autostash-fix later to maint).
* "git update-index --refresh" has been taught to deal better with
racy timestamps (just like "git status" already does).
(merge 2ede073fd2 ms/update-index-racy later to maint).
* Avoid tests that are run under GIT_TRACE2 set from failing
unnecessarily.
(merge 944d808e42 js/test-unset-trace2-parents later to maint).
* The merge-ort misbehaved when merge.renameLimit configuration is
set too low and failed to find all renames.
(merge 9ae39fef7f en/merge-ort-restart-optim-fix later to maint).
* We explain that revs come first before the pathspec among command
line arguments, but did not spell out that dashed options come
before other args, which has been corrected.
(merge c11f95010c tl/doc-cli-options-first later to maint).
* "git add -p" rewritten in C regressed hunk splitting in some cases,
which has been corrected.
(merge 7008ddc645 pw/add-p-hunk-split-fix later to maint).
* "git fetch --negotiate-only" is an internal command used by "git
push" to figure out which part of our history is missing from the
other side. It should never recurse into submodules even when
fetch.recursesubmodules configuration variable is set, nor it
should trigger "gc". The code has been tightened up to ensure it
only does common ancestry discovery and nothing else.
(merge de4eaae63a gc/fetch-negotiate-only-early-return later to maint).
* The code path that verifies signatures made with ssh were made to
work better on a system with CRLF line endings.
(merge caeef01ea7 fs/ssh-signing-crlf later to maint).
* "git sparse-checkout init" failed to write into $GIT_DIR/info
directory when the repository was created without one, which has
been corrected to auto-create it.
(merge 7f44842ac1 jt/sparse-checkout-leading-dir-fix later to maint).
* Cloning from a repository that does not yet have any branches or
tags but has other refs resulted in a "remote transport reported
error", which has been corrected.
(merge dccea605b6 jt/clone-not-quite-empty later to maint).
* Mark in various places in the code that the sparse index and the
split index features are mutually incompatible.
(merge 451b66c533 js/sparse-vs-split-index later to maint).
* Update the logic to compute alignment requirement for our mem-pool.
(merge e38bcc66d8 jc/mem-pool-alignment later to maint).
* Pick a better random number generator and use it when we prepare
temporary filenames.
(merge 47efda967c bc/csprng-mktemps later to maint).
* Update the contributor-facing documents on proposed log messages.
(merge cdba0295b0 jc/doc-log-messages later to maint).
* When "git fetch --prune" failed to prune the refs it wanted to
prune, the command issued error messages but exited with exit
status 0, which has been corrected.
(merge c9e04d905e tg/fetch-prune-exit-code-fix later to maint).
* Problems identified by Coverity in the reftable code have been
corrected.
(merge 01033de49f hn/reftable-coverity-fixes later to maint).
* A bug that made multi-pack bitmap and the object order out-of-sync,
making the .midx data corrupt, has been fixed.
(merge f8b60cf99b tb/midx-bitmap-corruption-fix later to maint).
* The build procedure has been taught to notice older version of zlib
and enable our replacement uncompress2() automatically.
(merge 07564773c2 ab/auto-detect-zlib-compress2 later to maint).
* Interaction between fetch.negotiationAlgorithm and
feature.experimental configuration variables has been corrected.
(merge 714edc620c en/fetch-negotiation-default-fix later to maint).
* "git diff --diff-filter=aR" is now parsed correctly.
(merge 75408ca949 js/diff-filter-negation-fix later to maint).
* When "git subtree" wants to create a merge, it used "git merge" and
let it be affected by end-user's "merge.ff" configuration, which
has been corrected.
(merge 9158a3564a tk/subtree-merge-not-ff-only later to maint).
* Unlike "git apply", "git patch-id" did not handle patches with
hunks that has only 1 line in either preimage or postimage, which
has been corrected.
(merge 757e75c81e jz/patch-id-hunk-header-parsing-fix later to maint).
* "receive-pack" checks if it will do any ref updates (various
conditions could reject a push) before received objects are taken
out of the temporary directory used for quarantine purposes, so
that a push that is known-to-fail will not leave crufts that a
future "gc" needs to clean up.
(merge 5407764069 cb/clear-quarantine-early-on-all-ref-update-errors later to maint).
* When there is no object to write .bitmap file for, "git
multi-pack-index" triggered an error, instead of just skipping,
which has been corrected.
(merge eb57277ba3 tb/midx-no-bitmap-for-no-objects later to maint).
* "git cmd -h" outside a repository should error out cleanly for many
commands, but instead it hit a BUG(), which has been corrected.
(merge 87ad07d735 js/short-help-outside-repo-fix later to maint).
* "working tree" and "per-worktree ref" were in glossary, but
"worktree" itself wasn't, which has been corrected.
(merge 2df5387ed0 jc/glossary-worktree later to maint).
* L10n support for a few error messages.
(merge 3d3c23b3a7 bs/forbid-i18n-of-protocol-token-in-fetch-pack later to maint).
* Test modernization.
(merge d4fe066e4b sy/t0001-use-path-is-helper later to maint).
* "git log --graph --graph" used to leak a graph structure, and there
was no way to countermand "--graph" that appear earlier on the
command line. A "--no-graph" option has been added and resource
leakage has been plugged.
* Error output given in response to an ambiguous object name has been
improved.
(merge 3a73c1dfaf ab/ambiguous-object-name later to maint).
* "git sparse-checkout" wants to work with per-worktree configuration,
but did not work well in a worktree attached to a bare repository.
(merge 3ce1138272 ds/sparse-checkout-requires-per-worktree-config later to maint).
* Setting core.untrackedCache to true failed to add the untracked
cache extension to the index.
* Workaround we have for versions of PCRE2 before their version 10.36
were in effect only for their versions newer than 10.36 by mistake,
which has been corrected.
(merge 97169fc361 rs/pcre-invalid-utf8-fix-fix later to maint).
* Document Taylor as a new member of Git PLC at SFC. Welcome.
(merge e8d56ca863 tb/coc-plc-update later to maint).
* "git checkout -b branch/with/multi/level/name && git stash" only
recorded the last level component of the branch name, which has
been corrected.
* Check the return value from parse_tree_indirect() to turn segfaults
into calls to die().
(merge 8d2eaf649a gc/parse-tree-indirect-errors later to maint).
* Newer version of GPGSM changed its output in a backward
incompatible way to break our code that parses its output. It also
added more processes our tests need to kill when cleaning up.
Adjustments have been made to accommodate these changes.
(merge b0b70d54c4 fs/gpgsm-update later to maint).
* The untracked cache newly computed weren't written back to the
on-disk index file when there is no other change to the index,
which has been corrected.
* "git config -h" did not describe the "--type" option correctly.
(merge 5445124fad mf/fix-type-in-config-h later to maint).
* The way generation number v2 in the commit-graph files are
(not) handled has been corrected.
(merge 6dbf4b8172 ds/commit-graph-gen-v2-fixes later to maint).
* The method to trigger malloc check used in our tests no longer work
with newer versions of glibc.
(merge baedc59543 ep/test-malloc-check-with-glibc-2.34 later to maint).
* When "git fetch --recurse-submodules" grabbed submodule commits
that would be needed to recursively check out newly fetched commits
in the superproject, it only paid attention to submodules that are
in the current checkout of the superproject. We now do so for all
submodules that have been run "git submodule init" on.
* "git rebase $base $non_branch_commit", when $base is an ancestor or
the $non_branch_commit, modified the current branch, which has been
corrected.
* When "shallow" information is updated, we forgot to update the
in-core equivalent, which has been corrected.
* When creating a loose object file, we didn't report the exact
filename of the file we failed to fsync, even though the
information was readily available, which has been corrected.
* "git am" can read from the standard input when no mailbox is given
on the command line, but the end-user gets no indication when it
happens, making Git appear stuck.
(merge 7b20af6a06 jc/mailsplit-warn-on-tty later to maint).
* "git mv" failed to refresh the cached stat information for the
entry it moved.
(merge b7f9130a06 vd/mv-refresh-stat later to maint).

git: updated to 2.27.0
Git 2.27 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.26
-------------------
Backward compatibility notes
* When "git describe C" finds that commit C is pointed by a signed or
annotated tag, which records T as its tagname in the object, the
command gives T as its answer. Even if the user renames or moves
such a tag from its natural location in the "refs/tags/" hierarchy,
"git describe C" would still give T as the answer, but in such a
case "git show T^0" would no longer work as expected. There may be
nothing at "refs/tags/T" or even worse there may be a different tag
instead.
Starting from this version, "git describe" will always use the
"long" version, as if the "--long" option were given, when giving
its output based on such a misplaced tag to work around the problem.
* "git pull" issues a warning message until the pull.rebase
configuration variable is explicitly given, which some existing
users may find annoying---those who prefer not to rebase need to
set the variable to false to squelch the warning.
* The transport protocol version 2, which was promoted to the default
in Git 2.26 release, turned out to have some remaining rough edges,
so it has been demoted from the default.
UI, Workflows & Features
* A handful of options to configure SSL when talking to proxies have
been added.
* Smudge/clean conversion filters are now given more information
(e.g. the object of the tree-ish in which the blob being converted
appears, in addition to its path, which has already been given).
* When "git describe C" finds an annotated tag with tagname A to be
the best name to explain commit C, and the tag is stored in a
"wrong" place in the refs/tags hierarchy, e.g. refs/tags/B, the
command gave a warning message but used A (not B) to describe C.
If C is exactly at the tag, the describe output would be "A", but
"git rev-parse A^0" would not be equal as "git rev-parse C^0". The
behavior of the command has been changed to use the "long" form
i.e. A-0-gOBJECTNAME, which is correctly interpreted by rev-parse.
* "git pull" learned to warn when no pull.rebase configuration
exists, and neither --[no-]rebase nor --ff-only is given (which
would result a merge).
* "git p4" learned four new hooks and also "--no-verify" option to
bypass them (and the existing "p4-pre-submit" hook).
* "git pull" shares many options with underlying "git fetch", but
some of them were not documented and some of those that would make
sense to pass down were not passed down.
* "git rebase" learned the "--no-gpg-sign" option to countermand
commit.gpgSign the user may have.
* The output from "git format-patch" uses RFC 2047 encoding for
non-ASCII letters on From: and Subject: headers, so that it can
directly be fed to e-mail programs. A new option has been added
to produce these headers in raw.
* "git log" learned "--show-pulls" that helps pathspec limited
history views; a merge commit that takes the whole change from a
side branch, which is normally omitted from the output, is shown
in addition to the commits that introduce real changes.
* The interactive input from various codepaths are consolidated and
any prompt possibly issued earlier are fflush()ed before we read.
* Allow "git rebase" to reapply all local commits, even if the may be
already in the upstream, without checking first.
* The 'pack.useSparse' configuration variable now defaults to 'true',
enabling an optimization that has been experimental since Git 2.21.
* "git rebase" happens to call some hooks meant for "checkout" and
"commit" by this was not a designed behaviour than historical
accident. This has been documented.
* "git merge" learns the "--autostash" option.
* "sparse-checkout" UI improvements.
* "git update-ref --stdin" learned a handful of new verbs to let the
user control ref update transactions more explicitly, which helps
as an ingredient to implement two-phase commit-style atomic
ref-updates across multiple repositories.
* "git commit-graph write" learned different ways to write out split
files.
* Introduce an extension to the commit-graph to make it efficient to
check for the paths that were modified at each commit using Bloom
filters.
* The approxidate parser learns to parse seconds with fraction and
ignore fractional part.
* The userdiff patterns for Markdown documents have been added.
* The sparse-checkout patterns have been forbidden from excluding all
paths, leaving an empty working tree, for a long time. This
limitation has been lifted.
* "git restore --staged --worktree" now defaults to take the contents
out of "HEAD", instead of erring out.
* "git p4" learned to recover from a (broken) state where a directory
and a file are recorded at the same path in the Perforce repository
the same way as their clients do.
* "git multi-pack-index repack" has been taught to honor some
repack.* configuration variables.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The advise API has been revamped to allow more systematic enumeration of
advice knobs in the future.
* SHA-256 transition continues.
* The code to interface with GnuPG has been refactored.
* "git stash" has kept an escape hatch to use the scripted version
for a few releases, which got stale. It has been removed.
* Enable tests that require GnuPG on Windows.
* Minor test usability improvement.
* Trace2 enhancement to allow logging of the environment variables.
* Test clean-up continues.
* Perf-test update.
* A Windows-specific test element has been made more robust against
misuse from both user's environment and programmer's errors.
* Various tests have been updated to work around issues found with
shell utilities that come with busybox etc.
* The config API made mixed uses of int and size_t types to represent
length of various pieces of text it parsed, which has been updated
to use the correct type (i.e. size_t) throughout.
* The "--decorate-refs" and "--decorate-refs-exclude" options "git
log" takes have learned a companion configuration variable
log.excludeDecoration that sits at the lowest priority in the
family.
* A new CI job to build and run test suite on linux with musl libc
has been added.
* Update the CI configuration to use GitHub Actions, retiring the one
based on Azure Pipelines.
* The directory traversal code had redundant recursive calls which
made its performance characteristics exponential with respect to
the depth of the tree, which was corrected.
* "git blame" learns to take advantage of the "changed-paths" Bloom
filter stored in the commit-graph file.
* The "bugreport" tool has been added.
* The object walk with object filter "--filter=tree:0" can now take
advantage of the pack bitmap when available.
* Instead of always building all branches at GitHub via Actions,
users can specify which branches to build.
* Codepaths that show progress meter have been taught to also use the
start_progress() and the stop_progress() calls as a "region" to be
traced.
* Instead of downloading Windows SDK for CI jobs for windows builds
from an external site (wingit.blob.core.windows.net), use the one
created in the windows-build job, to work around quota issues at
the external site.

git: updated to 2.32.0
Git 2.32 Release Notes
======================
Backward compatibility notes
----------------------------
* ".gitattributes", ".gitignore", and ".mailmap" files that are
symbolic links are ignored.
* "git apply --3way" used to first attempt a straight application,
and only fell back to the 3-way merge algorithm when the stright
application failed. Starting with this version, the command will
first try the 3-way merge algorithm and only when it fails (either
resulting with conflict or the base versions of blobs are missing),
falls back to the usual patch application.
Updates since v2.31
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* It does not make sense to make ".gitattributes", ".gitignore" and
".mailmap" symlinks, as they are supposed to be usable from the
object store (think: bare repositories where HEAD:.mailmap etc. are
used). When these files are symbolic links, we used to read the
contents of the files pointed by them by mistake, which has been
corrected.
* "git stash show" learned to optionally show untracked part of the
stash.
* "git log --format='...'" learned "%(describe)" placeholder.
* "git repack" so far has been only capable of repacking everything
under the sun into a single pack (or split by size). A cleverer
strategy to reduce the cost of repacking a repository has been
introduced.
* The http codepath learned to let the credential layer to cache the
password used to unlock a certificate that has successfully been
used.
* "git commit --fixup=<commit>", which was to tweak the changes made
to the contents while keeping the original log message intact,
learned "--fixup=(amend|reword):<commit>", that can be used to
tweak both the message and the contents, and only the message,
respectively.
* "git send-email" learned to honor the core.hooksPath configuration.
* "git format-patch -v<n>" learned to allow a reroll count that is
not an integer.
* "git commit" learned "--trailer <key>[=<value>]" option; together
with the interpret-trailers command, this will make it easier to
support custom trailers.
* "git clone --reject-shallow" option fails the clone as soon as we
notice that we are cloning from a shallow repository.
* A configuration variable has been added to force tips of certain
refs to be given a reachability bitmap.
* "gitweb" learned "e-mail privacy" feature to redact strings that
look like e-mail addresses on various pages.
* "git apply --3way" has always been "to fall back to 3-way merge
only when straight application fails". Swap the order of falling
back so that 3-way is always attempted first (only when the option
is given, of course) and then straight patch application is used as
a fallback when it fails.
* "git apply" now takes "--3way" and "--cached" at the same time, and
work and record results only in the index.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) has learned that
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD is a possible pseudo-ref.
* Userdiff patterns for "Scheme" has been added.
* "git log" learned "--diff-merges=<style>" option, with an
associated configuration variable log.diffMerges.
* "git log --format=..." placeholders learned %ah/%ch placeholders to
request the --date=human output.
* Replace GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM mechanism to decline from reading the
system-wide configuration file with GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM that lets
users specify from which file to read the system-wide configuration
(setting it to an empty file would essentially be the same as
setting NOSYSTEM), and introduce GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL to override the
per-user configuration in $HOME/.gitconfig.
* "git add" and "git rm" learned not to touch those paths that are
outside of sparse checkout.
* "git rev-list" learns the "--filter=object:type=<type>" option,
which can be used to exclude objects of the given kind from the
packfile generated by pack-objects.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) for "git stash" has been
updated.
* "git subtree" updates.
* It is now documented that "format-patch" skips merges.
* Options to "git pack-objects" that take numeric values like
--window and --depth should not accept negative values; the input
validation has been tightened.
* The way the command line specified by the trailer.<token>.command
configuration variable receives the end-user supplied value was
both error prone and misleading. An alternative to achieve the
same goal in a safer and more intuitive way has been added, as
the trailer.<token>.cmd configuration variable, to replace it.
* "git add -i --dry-run" does not dry-run, which was surprising. The
combination of options has taught to error out.
* "git push" learns to discover common ancestor with the receiving
end over protocol v2. This will hopefully make "git push" as
efficient as "git fetch" in avoiding objects from getting
transferred unnecessarily.
* "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") learned the "--quoted-cr" option to
control how lines ending with CRLF wrapped in base64 or qp are
handled.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Rename detection rework continues.
* GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is a mechanism to skip test pieces with
prerequisites to catch broken tests that depend on the side effects
of optional pieces, but did not work at all when negative
prerequisites were involved.
(merge 27d578d904 jk/fail-prereq-testfix later to maint).
* "git diff-index" codepath has been taught to trust fsmonitor status
to reduce number of lstat() calls.
(merge 7e5aa13d2c nk/diff-index-fsmonitor later to maint).
* Reorganize Makefile to allow building git.o and other essential
objects without extra stuff needed only for testing.
* Preparatory API changes for parallel checkout.
* A simple IPC interface gets introduced to build services like
fsmonitor on top.
* Fsck API clean-up.
* SECURITY.md that is facing individual contributors and end users
has been introduced. Also a procedure to follow when preparing
embargoed releases has been spelled out.
(merge 09420b7648 js/security-md later to maint).
* Optimize "rev-list --use-bitmap-index --objects" corner case that
uses negative tags as the stopping points.
* CMake update for vsbuild.
* An on-disk reverse-index to map the in-pack location of an object
back to its object name across multiple packfiles is introduced.
* Generate [ec]tags under $(QUIET_GEN).
* Clean-up codepaths that implements "git send-email --validate"
option and improves the message from it.
* The last remnant of gettext-poison has been removed.
* The test framework has been taught to optionally turn the default
merge strategy to "ort" throughout the system where we use
three-way merges internally, like cherry-pick, rebase etc.,
primarily to enhance its test coverage (the strategy has been
available as an explicit "-s ort" choice).
* A bit of code clean-up and a lot of test clean-up around userdiff
area.
* Handling of "promisor packs" that allows certain objects to be
missing and lazily retrievable has been optimized (a bit).
* When packet_write() fails, we gave an extra error message
unnecessarily, which has been corrected.
* The checkout machinery has been taught to perform the actual
write-out of the files in parallel when able.
* Show errno in the trace output in the error codepath that calls
read_raw_ref method.
* Effort to make the command line completion (in contrib/) safe with
"set -u" continues.
* Tweak a few tests for "log --format=..." that show timestamps in
various formats.
* The reflog expiry machinery has been taught to emit trace events.
* Over-the-wire protocol learns a new request type to ask for object
sizes given a list of object names.
Fixes since v2.31
-----------------
* The fsmonitor interface read from its input without making sure
there is something to read from. This bug is new in 2.31
timeframe.
* The data structure used by fsmonitor interface was not properly
duplicated during an in-core merge, leading to use-after-free etc.
* "git bisect" reimplemented more in C during 2.30 timeframe did not
take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint well. This regression
has been corrected.
* Fix macros that can silently inject unintended null-statements.
* CALLOC_ARRAY() macro replaces many uses of xcalloc().
* Update insn in Makefile comments to run fuzz-all target.
* Fix a corner case bug in "git mv" on case insensitive systems,
which was introduced in 2.29 timeframe.
* We had a code to diagnose and die cleanly when a required
clean/smudge filter is missing, but an assert before that
unnecessarily fired, hiding the end-user facing die() message.
(merge 6fab35f748 mt/cleanly-die-upon-missing-required-filter later to maint).
* Update C code that sets a few configuration variables when a remote
is configured so that it spells configuration variable names in the
canonical camelCase.
(merge 0f1da600e6 ab/remote-write-config-in-camel-case later to maint).
* A new configuration variable has been introduced to allow choosing
which version of the generation number gets used in the
commit-graph file.
(merge 702110aac6 ds/commit-graph-generation-config later to maint).
* Perf test update to work better in secondary worktrees.
(merge 36e834abc1 jk/perf-in-worktrees later to maint).
* Updates to memory allocation code around the use of pcre2 library.
(merge c1760352e0 ab/grep-pcre2-allocfix later to maint).
* "git -c core.bare=false clone --bare ..." would have segfaulted,
which has been corrected.
(merge 75555676ad bc/clone-bare-with-conflicting-config later to maint).
* When "git checkout" removes a path that does not exist in the
commit it is checking out, it wasn't careful enough not to follow
symbolic links, which has been corrected.
(merge fab78a0c3d mt/checkout-remove-nofollow later to maint).
* A few option description strings started with capital letters,
which were corrected.
(merge 5ee90326dc cc/downcase-opt-help later to maint).
* Plug or annotate remaining leaks that trigger while running the
very basic set of tests.
(merge 68ffe095a2 ah/plugleaks later to maint).
* The hashwrite() API uses a buffering mechanism to avoid calling
write(2) too frequently. This logic has been refactored to be
easier to understand.
(merge ddaf1f62e3 ds/clarify-hashwrite later to maint).
* "git cherry-pick/revert" with or without "--[no-]edit" did not spawn
the editor as expected (e.g. "revert --no-edit" after a conflict
still asked to edit the message), which has been corrected.
(merge 39edfd5cbc en/sequencer-edit-upon-conflict-fix later to maint).
* "git daemon" has been tightened against systems that take backslash
as directory separator.
(merge 9a7f1ce8b7 rs/daemon-sanitize-dir-sep later to maint).
* A NULL-dereference bug has been corrected in an error codepath in
"git for-each-ref", "git branch --list" etc.
(merge c685450880 jk/ref-filter-segfault-fix later to maint).
* Streamline the codepath to fix the UTF-8 encoding issues in the
argv[] and the prefix on macOS.
(merge c7d0e61016 tb/precompose-prefix-simplify later to maint).
* The command-line completion script (in contrib/) had a couple of
references that would have given a warning under the "-u" (nounset)
option.
(merge c5c0548d79 vs/completion-with-set-u later to maint).
* When "git pack-objects" makes a literal copy of a part of existing
packfile using the reachability bitmaps, its update to the progress
meter was broken.
(merge 8e118e8490 jk/pack-objects-bitmap-progress-fix later to maint).
* The dependencies for config-list.h and command-list.h were broken
when the former was split out of the latter, which has been
corrected.
(merge 56550ea718 sg/bugreport-fixes later to maint).
* "git push --quiet --set-upstream" was not quiet when setting the
upstream branch configuration, which has been corrected.
(merge f3cce896a8 ow/push-quiet-set-upstream later to maint).
* The prefetch task in "git maintenance" assumed that "git fetch"
from any remote would fetch all its local branches, which would
fetch too much if the user is interested in only a subset of
branches there.
(merge 32f67888d8 ds/maintenance-prefetch-fix later to maint).
* Clarify that pathnames recorded in Git trees are most often (but
not necessarily) encoded in UTF-8.
(merge 9364bf465d ab/pathname-encoding-doc later to maint).
* "git --config-env var=val cmd" weren't accepted (only
--config-env=var=val was).
(merge c331551ccf ps/config-env-option-with-separate-value later to maint).
* When the reachability bitmap is in effect, the "do not lose
recently created objects and those that are reachable from them"
safety to protect us from races were disabled by mistake, which has
been corrected.
(merge 2ba582ba4c jk/prune-with-bitmap-fix later to maint).
* Cygwin pathname handling fix.
(merge bccc37fdc7 ad/cygwin-no-backslashes-in-paths later to maint).
* "git rebase --[no-]reschedule-failed-exec" did not work well with
its configuration variable, which has been corrected.
(merge e5b32bffd1 ab/rebase-no-reschedule-failed-exec later to maint).
* Portability fix for command line completion script (in contrib/).
(merge f2acf763e2 si/zsh-complete-comment-fix later to maint).
* "git repack -A -d" in a partial clone unnecessarily loosened
objects in promisor pack.
* "git bisect skip" when custom words are used for new/old did not
work, which has been corrected.
* A few variants of informational message "Already up-to-date" has
been rephrased.
(merge ad9322da03 js/merge-already-up-to-date-message-reword later to maint).
* "git submodule update --quiet" did not propagate the quiet option
down to underlying "git fetch", which has been corrected.
(merge 62af4bdd42 nc/submodule-update-quiet later to maint).
* Document that our test can use "local" keyword.
(merge a84fd3bcc6 jc/test-allows-local later to maint).
* The word-diff mode has been taught to work better with a word
regexp that can match an empty string.
(merge 0324e8fc6b pw/word-diff-zero-width-matches later to maint).
* "git p4" learned to find branch points more efficiently.
(merge 6b79818bfb jk/p4-locate-branch-point-optim later to maint).
* When "git update-ref -d" removes a ref that is packed, it left
empty directories under $GIT_DIR/refs/ for
(merge 5f03e5126d wc/packed-ref-removal-cleanup later to maint).
* "git clean" and "git ls-files -i" had confusion around working on
or showing ignored paths inside an ignored directory, which has
been corrected.
(merge b548f0f156 en/dir-traversal later to maint).
* The handling of "%(push)" formatting element of "for-each-ref" and
friends was broken when the same codepath started handling
"%(push:<what>)", which has been corrected.
(merge 1e1c4c5eac zh/ref-filter-push-remote-fix later to maint).
* The bash prompt script (in contrib/) did not work under "set -u".
(merge 5c0cbdb107 en/prompt-under-set-u later to maint).
* The "chainlint" feature in the test framework is a handy way to
catch common mistakes in writing new tests, but tends to get
expensive. An knob to selectively disable it has been introduced
to help running tests that the developer has not modified.
(merge 2d86a96220 jk/test-chainlint-softer later to maint).
* The "rev-parse" command did not diagnose the lack of argument to
"--path-format" option, which was introduced in v2.31 era, which
has been corrected.
(merge 99fc555188 wm/rev-parse-path-format-wo-arg later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

git: updated to 2.18.0
2.18.0:
UI, Workflows & Features
* Rename detection logic that is used in "merge" and "cherry-pick" has
learned to guess when all of x/a, x/b and x/c have moved to z/a,
z/b and z/c, it is likely that x/d added in the meantime would also
want to move to z/d by taking the hint that the entire directory
'x' moved to 'z'. A bug causing dirty files involved in a rename
to be overwritten during merge has also been fixed as part of this
work. Incidentally, this also avoids updating a file in the
working tree after a (non-trivial) merge whose result matches what
our side originally had.
* "git filter-branch" learned to use a different exit code to allow
the callers to tell the case where there was no new commits to
rewrite from other error cases.
* When built with more recent cURL, GIT_SSL_VERSION can now specify
"tlsv1.3" as its value.
* "git gui" learned that "~/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub" and
"~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub" are also possible SSH key files.
(merge 2e2f0288ef bb/git-gui-ssh-key-files later to maint).
* "git gui" performs commit upon CTRL/CMD+ENTER but the
CTRL/CMD+KP_ENTER (i.e. enter key on the numpad) did not have the
same key binding. It now does.
(merge 28a1d94a06 bp/git-gui-bind-kp-enter later to maint).
* "git gui" has been taught to work with old versions of tk (like
8.5.7) that do not support "ttk::style theme use" as a way to query
the current theme.
(merge 4891961105 cb/git-gui-ttk-style later to maint).
* "git rebase" has learned to honor "--signoff" option when using
backends other than "am" (but not "--preserve-merges").
* "git branch --list" during an interrupted "rebase -i" now lets
users distinguish the case where a detached HEAD is being rebased
and a normal branch is being rebased.
* "git mergetools" learned talking to guiffy.
* The scripts in contrib/emacs/ have outlived their usefulness and
have been replaced with a stub that errors out and tells the user
there are replacements.
* The new "working-tree-encoding" attribute can ask Git to convert the
contents to the specified encoding when checking out to the working
tree (and the other way around when checking in).
* The "git config" command uses separate options e.g. "--int",
"--bool", etc. to specify what type the caller wants the value to
be interpreted as. A new "--type=<typename>" option has been
introduced, which would make it cleaner to define new types.
* "git config --get" learned the "--default" option, to help the
calling script. Building on top of the above changes, the
"git config" learns "--type=color" type. Taken together, you can
do things like "git config --get foo.color --default blue" and get
the ANSI color sequence for the color given to foo.color variable,
or "blue" if the variable does not exist.
* "git ls-remote" learned an option to allow sorting its output based
on the refnames being shown.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught that "git
stash save" has been deprecated ("git stash push" is the preferred
spelling in the new world) and does not offer it as a possible
completion candidate when "git stash push" can be.
* "git gc --prune=nonsense" spent long time repacking and then
silently failed when underlying "git prune --expire=nonsense"
failed to parse its command line. This has been corrected.
* Error messages from "git push" can be painted for more visibility.
* "git http-fetch" (deprecated) had an optional and experimental
"feature" to fetch only commits and/or trees, which nobody used.
This has been removed.
* The functionality of "$GIT_DIR/info/grafts" has been superseded by
the "refs/replace/" mechanism for some time now, but the internal
code had support for it in many places, which has been cleaned up
in order to drop support of the "grafts" mechanism.
* "git worktree add" learned to check out an existing branch.
* "git --no-pager cmd" did not have short-and-sweet single letter
option. Now it does as "-P".
(merge 7213c28818 js/no-pager-shorthand later to maint).
* "git rebase" learned "--rebase-merges" to transplant the whole
topology of commit graph elsewhere.
* "git status" learned to pay attention to UI related diff
configuration variables such as diff.renames.
* The command line completion mechanism (in contrib/) learned to load
custom completion file for "git $command" where $command is a
custom "git-$command" that the end user has on the $PATH when using
newer version of bash-completion.
* "git send-email" can sometimes offer confirmation dialog "Send this
email?" with choices 'Yes', 'No', 'Quit', and 'All'. A new action
'Edit' has been added to this dialog's choice.
* With merge.renames configuration set to false, the recursive merge
strategy can be told not to spend cycles trying to find renamed
paths and merge them accordingly.
* "git status" learned to honor a new status.renames configuration to
skip rename detection, which could be useful for those who want to
do so without disabling the default rename detection done by the
"git diff" command.
* Command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete pathnames
for various commands better.
* "git blame" learns to unhighlight uninteresting metadata from the
originating commit on lines that are the same as the previous one,
and also paint lines in different colors depending on the age of
the commit.
* Transfer protocol v2 learned to support the partial clone.
* When a short hexadecimal string is used to name an object but there
are multiple objects that share the string as the prefix of their
names, the code lists these ambiguous candidates in a help message.
These object names are now sorted according to their types for
easier eyeballing.
* "git fetch $there $refspec" that talks over protocol v2 can take
advantage of server-side ref filtering; the code has been extended
so that this mechanism triggers also when fetching with configured
refspec.
* Our HTTP client code used to advertise that we accept gzip encoding
from the other side; instead, just let cURL library to advertise
and negotiate the best one.
* "git p4" learned to "unshelve" shelved commit from P4.
(merge 123f631761 ld/p4-unshelve later to maint).

git: updated to 2.23.0
Git 2.23 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.22
-------------------
Backward compatibility note
* The "--base" option of "format-patch" computed the patch-ids for
prerequisite patches in an unstable way, which has been updated to
compute in a way that is compatible with "git patch-id --stable".
* The "git log" command by default behaves as if the --mailmap option
was given.
UI, Workflows & Features
* The "git fast-export/import" pair has been taught to handle commits
with log messages in encoding other than UTF-8 better.
* In recent versions of Git, per-worktree refs are exposed in
refs/worktrees/<wtname>/ hierarchy, which means that worktree names
must be a valid refname component. The code now sanitizes the names
given to worktrees, to make sure these refs are well-formed.
* "git merge" learned "--quit" option that cleans up the in-progress
merge while leaving the working tree and the index still in a mess.
* "git format-patch" learns a configuration to set the default for
its --notes=<ref> option.
* The code to show args with potential typo that cannot be
interpreted as a commit-ish has been improved.
* "git clone --recurse-submodules" learned to set up the submodules
to ignore commit object names recorded in the superproject gitlink
and instead use the commits that happen to be at the tip of the
remote-tracking branches from the get-go, by passing the new
"--remote-submodules" option.
* The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
boundary for Matlab has been extend to cover Octave, which is more
or less equivalent.
* "git help git" was hard to discover (well, at least for some
people).
* The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
boundary for Rust has been added.
* "git status" can be told a non-standard default value for the
"--[no-]ahead-behind" option with a new configuration variable
status.aheadBehind.
* "git fetch" and "git pull" reports when a fetch results in
non-fast-forward updates to let the user notice unusual situation.
The commands learned "--no-show-forced-updates" option to disable
this safety feature.
* Two new commands "git switch" and "git restore" are introduced to
split "checking out a branch to work on advancing its history" and
"checking out paths out of the index and/or a tree-ish to work on
advancing the current history" out of the single "git checkout"
command.
* "git branch --list" learned to always output the detached HEAD as
the first item (when the HEAD is detached, of course), regardless
of the locale.
* The conditional inclusion mechanism learned to base the choice on
the branch the HEAD currently is on.
* "git rev-list --objects" learned the "--no-object-names" option to
squelch the path to the object that is used as a grouping hint for
pack-objects.
* A new tag.gpgSign configuration variable turns "git tag -a" into
"git tag -s".
* "git multi-pack-index" learned expire and repack subcommands.
* "git blame" learned to "ignore" commits in the history, whose
effects (as well as their presence) get ignored.
* "git cherry-pick/revert" learned a new "--skip" action.
* The tips of refs from the alternate object store can be used as
starting point for reachability computation now.
* Extra blank lines in "git status" output have been reduced.
* The commits in a repository can be described by multiple
commit-graph files now, which allows the commit-graph files to be
updated incrementally.
* "git range-diff" output has been tweaked for easier identification
of which part of what file the patch shown is about.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Update supporting parts of "git rebase" to remove code that should
no longer be used.
* Developer support to emulate unsatisfied prerequisites in tests to
ensure that the remainder of the tests still succeeds when tests
with prerequisites are skipped.
* "git update-server-info" learned not to rewrite the file with the
same contents.
* The way of specifying the path to find dynamic libraries at runtime
has been simplified. The old default to pass -R/path/to/dir has been
replaced with the new default to pass -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/dir,
which is the more recent GCC uses. Those who need to build with an
old GCC can still use "CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R"
* Prepare use of reachability index in topological walker that works
on a range (A..B).
* A new tutorial targeting specifically aspiring git-core
developers has been added.
* Auto-detect how to tell HP-UX aCC where to use dynamically linked
libraries from at runtime.
* "git mergetool" and its tests now spawn fewer subprocesses.
* Dev support update to help tracing out tests.
* Support to build with MSVC has been updated.
* "git fetch" that grabs from a group of remotes learned to run the
auto-gc only once at the very end.
* A handful of Windows build patches have been upstreamed.
* The code to read state files used by the sequencer machinery for
"git status" has been made more robust against a corrupt or stale
state files.
* "git for-each-ref" with multiple patterns have been optimized.
* The tree-walk API learned to pass an in-core repository
instance throughout more codepaths.
* When one step in multi step cherry-pick or revert is reset or
committed, the command line prompt script failed to notice the
current status, which has been improved.
* Many GIT_TEST_* environment variables control various aspects of
how our tests are run, but a few followed "non-empty is true, empty
or unset is false" while others followed the usual "there are a few
ways to spell true, like yes, on, etc., and also ways to spell
false, like no, off, etc." convention.
* Adjust the dir-iterator API and apply it to the local clone
optimization codepath.
* We have been trying out a few language features outside c89; the
coding guidelines document did not talk about them and instead had
a blanket ban against them.
* A test helper has been introduced to optimize preparation of test
repositories with many simple commits, and a handful of test
scripts have been updated to use it.
Fixes since v2.22
-----------------
* A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>"
ought to be relative to the directory "git init" gets invoked in,
but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been
corrected.
* "git worktree add" used to fail when another worktree connected to
the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected.
* The ownership rule for the file descriptor to fast-import remote
backend was mixed up, leading to an unrelated file descriptor getting
closed, which has been fixed.
* A "merge -c" instruction during "git rebase --rebase-merges" should
give the user a chance to edit the log message, even when there is
otherwise no need to create a new merge and replace the existing
one (i.e. fast-forward instead), but did not. Which has been
corrected.
* Code cleanup and futureproof.
* More parameter validation.
* "git update-server-info" used to leave stale packfiles in its
output, which has been corrected.
* The server side support for "git fetch" used to show incorrect
value for the HEAD symbolic ref when the namespace feature is in
use, which has been corrected.
* "git am -i --resolved" segfaulted after trying to see a commit as
if it were a tree, which has been corrected.
* "git bundle verify" needs to see if prerequisite objects exist in
the receiving repository, but the command did not check if we are
in a repository upfront, which has been corrected.
* "git merge --squash" is designed to update the working tree and the
index without creating the commit, and this cannot be countermanded
by adding the "--commit" option; the command now refuses to work
when both options are given.
* The data collected by fsmonitor was not properly written back to
the on-disk index file, breaking t7519 tests occasionally, which
has been corrected.
* Update to Unicode 12.1 width table.
* The command line to invoke a "git cat-file" command from inside
"git p4" was not properly quoted to protect a caret and running a
broken command on Windows, which has been corrected.
* "git request-pull" learned to warn when the ref we ask them to pull
from in the local repository and in the published repository are
different.
* When creating a partial clone, the object filtering criteria is
recorded for the origin of the clone, but this incorrectly used a
hardcoded name "origin" to name that remote; it has been corrected
to honor the "--origin <name>" option.
* "git fetch" into a lazy clone forgot to fetch base objects that are
necessary to complete delta in a thin packfile, which has been
corrected.
* The filter_data used in the list-objects-filter (which manages a
lazily sparse clone repository) did not use the dynamic array API
correctly---'nr' is supposed to point at one past the last element
of the array in use. This has been corrected.
* The description about slashes in gitignore patterns (used to
indicate things like "anchored to this level only" and "only
matches directories") has been revamped.
* The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end
of the string while parsing %-<hex>-<hex> sequence.
* The list of for-each like macros used by clang-format has been
updated.
* "git branch --list" learned to show branches that are checked out
in other worktrees connected to the same repository prefixed with
'+', similar to the way the currently checked out branch is shown
with '*' in front.
(merge 6e9381469e nb/branch-show-other-worktrees-head later to maint).
* Code restructuring during 2.20 period broke fetching tags via
"import" based transports.
* The commit-graph file is now part of the "files that the runtime
may keep open file descriptors on, all of which would need to be
closed when done with the object store", and the file descriptor to
an existing commit-graph file now is closed before "gc" finalizes a
new instance to replace it.
* "git checkout -p" needs to selectively apply a patch in reverse,
which did not work well.
* Code clean-up to avoid signed integer wraparounds during binary search.
* "git interpret-trailers" always treated '#' as the comment
character, regardless of core.commentChar setting, which has been
corrected.
* "git stash show 23" used to work, but no more after getting
rewritten in C; this regression has been corrected.
* "git rebase --abort" used to leave refs/rewritten/ when concluding
"git rebase -r", which has been corrected.
* An incorrect list of options was cached after command line
completion failed (e.g. trying to complete a command that requires
a repository outside one), which has been corrected.
* The code to parse scaled numbers out of configuration files has
been made more robust and also easier to follow.
* The codepath to compute delta islands used to spew progress output
without giving the callers any way to squelch it, which has been
fixed.
* Protocol capabilities that go over wire should never be translated,
but it was incorrectly marked for translation, which has been
corrected. The output of protocol capabilities for debugging has
been tweaked a bit.
* Use "Erase in Line" CSI sequence that is already used in the editor
support to clear cruft in the progress output.
* "git submodule foreach" did not protect command line options passed
to the command to be run in each submodule correctly, when the
"--recursive" option was in use.
* The configuration variable rebase.rescheduleFailedExec should be
effective only while running an interactive rebase and should not
affect anything when running a non-interactive one, which was not
the case. This has been corrected.
* The "git clone" documentation refers to command line options in its
description in the short form; they have been replaced with long
forms to make them more recognisable.
* Generation of pack bitmaps are now disabled when .keep files exist,
as these are mutually exclusive features.
(merge 7328482253 ew/repack-with-bitmaps-by-default later to maint).
* "git rm" to resolve a conflicted path leaked an internal message
"needs merge" before actually removing the path, which was
confusing. This has been corrected.
* "git stash --keep-index" did not work correctly on paths that have
been removed, which has been fixed.
(merge b932f6a5e8 tg/stash-keep-index-with-removed-paths later to maint).
* Window 7 update ;-)
* A codepath that reads from GPG for signed object verification read
past the end of allocated buffer, which has been fixed.
* "git clean" silently skipped a path when it cannot lstat() it; now
it gives a warning.
* "git push --atomic" that goes over the transport-helper (namely,
the smart http transport) failed to prevent refs to be pushed when
it can locally tell that one of the ref update will fail without
having to consult the other end, which has been corrected.
* The internal diff machinery can be made to read out of bounds while
looking for --function-context line in a corner case, which has been
corrected.
(merge b777f3fd61 jk/xdiff-clamp-funcname-context-index later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge fbec05c210 cc/test-oidmap later to maint).
(merge 7a06fb038c jk/no-system-includes-in-dot-c later to maint).
(merge 81ed2b405c cb/xdiff-no-system-includes-in-dot-c later to maint).
(merge d61e6ce1dd sg/fsck-config-in-doc later to maint).

git: updated to 2.30.0
Git 2.30 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.29
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Userdiff for PHP update.
* Userdiff for Rust update.
* Userdiff for CSS update.
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git
stash show" takes the options "git diff" takes.
* "git worktree list" now shows if each worktree is locked. This
possibly may open us to show other kinds of states in the future.
* "git maintenance", an extended big brother of "git gc", continues
to evolve.
* "git push --force-with-lease[=<ref>]" can easily be misused to lose
commits unless the user takes good care of their own "git fetch".
A new option "--force-if-includes" attempts to ensure that what is
being force-pushed was created after examining the commit at the
tip of the remote ref that is about to be force-replaced.
* "git clone" learned clone.defaultremotename configuration variable
to customize what nickname to use to call the remote the repository
was cloned from.
* "git checkout" learned to use checkout.guess configuration variable
and enable/disable its "--[no-]guess" option accordingly.
* "git resurrect" script (in contrib/) learned that the object names
may be longer than 40-hex depending on the hash function in use.
* "git diff A...B" learned "git diff --merge-base A B", which is a
longer short-hand to say the same thing.
* A sample 'push-to-checkout' hook, that performs the same as
what the built-in default action does, has been added.
* "git diff" family of commands learned the "-I<regex>" option to
ignore hunks whose changed lines all match the given pattern.
* The userdiff pattern learned to identify the function definition in
POSIX shells and bash.
* "git checkout-index" did not consistently signal an error with its
exit status, but now it does.
* A commit and tag object may have CR at the end of each and
every line (you can create such an object with hash-object or
using --cleanup=verbatim to decline the default clean-up
action), but it would make it impossible to have a blank line
to separate the title from the body of the message. We are now
more lenient and accept a line with lone CR on it as a blank line,
too.
* Exit codes from "git remote add" etc. were not usable by scripted
callers, but now they are.
* "git archive" now allows compression level higher than "-9"
when generating tar.gz output.
* Zsh autocompletion (in contrib/) update.
* The maximum length of output filenames "git format-patch" creates
has become configurable (used to be capped at 64).
* "git rev-parse" learned the "--end-of-options" to help scripts to
safely take a parameter that is supposed to be a revision, e.g.
"git rev-parse --verify -q --end-of-options $rev".
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to expand
commands that are alias of alias.
* "git update-ref --stdin" learns to take multiple transactions in a
single session.
* Various subcommands of "git config" that take value_regex
learned the "--literal-value" option to take the value_regex option
as a literal string.
* The transport layer was taught to optionally exchange the session
ID assigned by the trace2 subsystem during fetch/push transactions.
* "git imap-send" used to ignore configuration variables like
core.askpass; this has been corrected.
* "git $cmd $args", when $cmd is not a recognised subcommand, by
default tries to see if $cmd is a typo of an existing subcommand
and optionally executes the corrected command if there is only one
possibility, depending on the setting of help.autocorrect; the
users can now disable the whole thing, including the cycles spent
to find a likely typo, by setting the configuration variable to
'never'.
* "@" sometimes worked (e.g. "git push origin @:there") as a part of
a refspec element, but "git push origin @" did not work, which has
been corrected.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Use "git archive" more to produce the release tarball.
* GitHub Actions automated test improvement to skip tests on a tree
identical to what has already been tested.
* Test-coverage for running commit-graph task "git maintenance" has
been extended.
* Our test scripts can be told to run only individual pieces while
skipping others with the "--run=..." option; they were taught to
take a substring of test title, in addition to numbers, to name the
test pieces to run.
* Adjust tests so that they won't scream when the default initial
branch name is different from 'master'.
* Rewriting "git bisect" in C continues.
* More preliminary tests have been added to document desired outcomes
of various "directory rename" situations.
* Micro clean-up of a couple of test scripts.
* "git diff" and other commands that share the same machinery to
compare with working tree files have been taught to take advantage
of the fsmonitor data when available.
* The code to detect premature EOF in the sideband demultiplexer has
been cleaned up.
* "git fetch --depth=<n>" over the stateless RPC / smart HTTP
transport handled EOF from the client poorly at the server end.
* A specialization of hashmap that uses a string as key has been
introduced. Hopefully it will see wider use over time.
* "git bisect start/next" in a large span of history spends a lot of
time trying to come up with exactly the half-way point; this can be
optimized by stopping when we see a commit that is close enough to
the half-way point.
* A lazily defined test prerequisite can now be defined in terms of
another lazily defined test prerequisite.
* Expectation for the original contributor after responding to a
review comment to use the explanation in a patch update has been
described.
* Multiple "credential-store" backends can race to lock the same
file, causing everybody else but one to fail---reattempt locking
with some timeout to reduce the rate of the failure.
* "git-parse-remote" shell script library outlived its usefulness.
* Like die() and error(), a call to warning() will also trigger a
trace2 event.
* Use of non-reentrant localtime() has been removed.
* Non-reentrant time-related library functions and ctime/asctime with
awkward calling interfaces are banned from the codebase.
Fixes since v2.29
-----------------
* In 2.29, "--committer-date-is-author-date" option of "rebase" and
"am" subcommands lost the e-mail address by mistake, which has been
corrected.
(merge 5f35edd9d7 jk/committer-date-is-author-date-fix later to maint).
* "git checkout -p A...B [-- <path>]" did not work, even though the
same command without "-p" correctly used the merge-base between
commits A and B.
(merge 35166b1fb5 dl/checkout-p-merge-base later to maint).
* The side-band status report can be sent at the same time as the
primary payload multiplexed, but the demultiplexer on the receiving
end incorrectly split a single status report into two, which has
been corrected.
(merge 712b0377db js/avoid-split-sideband-message later to maint).
* "git fast-import" wasted a lot of memory when many marks were in use.
(merge 3f018ec716 jk/fast-import-marks-alloc-fix later to maint).
* A test helper "test_cmp A B" was taught to diagnose missing files A
or B as a bug in test, but some tests legitimately wanted to notice
a failure to even create file B as an error, in addition to leaving
the expected result in it, and were misdiagnosed as a bug. This
has been corrected.
(merge 262d5ad5a5 es/test-cmp-typocatcher later to maint).
* When "git commit-graph" detects the same commit recorded more than
once while it is merging the layers, it used to die. The code now
ignores all but one of them and continues.
(merge 85102ac71b ds/commit-graph-merging-fix later to maint).
* The meaning of a Signed-off-by trailer can vary from project to
project; this and also what it means to this project has been
clarified in the documentation.
(merge 3abd4a67d9 bk/sob-dco later to maint).
* "git credential' didn't honor the core.askPass configuration
variable (among other things), which has been corrected.
(merge 567ad2c0f9 tk/credential-config later to maint).
* Dev support to catch a tentative definition of a variable in our C
code as an error.
(merge 5539183622 jk/no-common later to maint).
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" did not correctly pass --gpg-sign
command line option to underlying "git merge" when replaying a merge
using non-default merge strategy or when replaying an octopus merge
(because replaying a two-head merge with the default strategy was
done in a separate codepath, the problem did not trigger for most
users), which has been corrected.
(merge 43ad4f2eca sc/sequencer-gpg-octopus later to maint).
* "git apply -R" did not handle patches that touch the same path
twice correctly, which has been corrected. This is most relevant
in a patch that changes a path from a regular file to a symbolic
link (and vice versa).
(merge b0f266de11 jt/apply-reverse-twice later to maint).
* A recent oid->hash conversion missed one spot, breaking "git svn".
(merge 03bb366de4 bc/svn-hash-oid-fix later to maint).
* The documentation on the "--abbrev=<n>" option did not say the
output may be longer than "<n>" hexdigits, which has been
clarified.
(merge cda34e0d0c jc/abbrev-doc later to maint).
* "git p4" now honors init.defaultBranch configuration.
(merge 1b09d1917f js/p4-default-branch later to maint).
* Recently the format of an internal state file "rebase -i" uses has
been tightened up for consistency, which would hurt those who start
"rebase -i" with old git and then continue with new git. Loosen
the reader side a bit (which we may want to tighten again in a year
or so).
(merge c779386182 jc/sequencer-stopped-sha-simplify later to maint).
* The code to see if "git stash drop" can safely remove refs/stash
has been made more careful.
(merge 4f44c5659b rs/empty-reflog-check-fix later to maint).
* "git log -L<range>:<path>" is documented to take no pathspec, but
this was not enforced by the command line option parser, which has
been corrected.
(merge 39664cb0ac jc/line-log-takes-no-pathspec later to maint).
* "git format-patch --output=there" did not work as expected and
instead crashed. The option is now supported.
(merge dc1672dd10 jk/format-patch-output later to maint).
* Define ARM64 compiled with MSVC to be little-endian.
(merge 0c038fc65a dg/bswap-msvc later to maint).
* "git rebase -i" did not store ORIG_HEAD correctly.
(merge 8843302307 pw/rebase-i-orig-head later to maint).
* "git blame -L :funcname -- path" did not work well for a path for
which a userdiff driver is defined.
* "make DEVELOPER=1 sparse" used to run sparse and let it emit
warnings; now such warnings will cause an error.
(merge 521dc56270 jc/sparse-error-for-developer-build later to maint).
* "git blame --ignore-revs-file=<file>" learned to ignore a
non-existent object name in the input, instead of complaining.
(merge c714d05875 jc/blame-ignore-fix later to maint).
* Running "git diff" while allowing external diff in a state with
unmerged paths used to segfault, which has been corrected.
(merge d66851806f jk/diff-release-filespec-fix later to maint).
* Build configuration cleanup.
(merge b990f02fd8 ab/config-mak-uname-simplify later to maint).
* Fix regression introduced when nvimdiff support in mergetool was added.
(merge 12026f46e7 pd/mergetool-nvimdiff later to maint).
* The exchange between receive-pack and proc-receive hook did not
carefully check for errors.
* The code was not prepared to deal with pack .idx file that is
larger than 4GB.
(merge 81c4c5cf2e jk/4gb-idx later to maint).
* Since jgit does not yet work with SHA-256 repositories, mark the
tests that use it not to run unless we are testing with ShA-1
repositories.
(merge ea699b4adc sg/t5310-jgit-wants-sha1 later to maint).
* Config parser fix for "git notes".
(merge 45fef1599a na/notes-displayref-is-not-boolean later to maint).
* Move a definition of compatibility wrapper from cache.h to
git-compat-util.h
(merge a76b138daa hn/sleep-millisec-decl later to maint).
* Error message fix.
(merge eaf5341538 km/stash-error-message-fix later to maint).
* "git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules" checked for local changes
in a wrong range and failed to run correctly when it should.
(merge 5176f20ffe pb/pull-rebase-recurse-submodules later to maint).
* "git push" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,
still computing to find a good compression, wasting cycles. This
has been corrected.
(merge 8b59935114 jk/stop-pack-objects-when-push-is-killed later to maint).
* "git fetch" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,
still computing to find a good compression, wasting cycles. This
has been corrected.
(merge 309a4028e7 jk/stop-pack-objects-when-fetch-is-killed later to maint).
* "git add -i" failed to honor custom colors configured to show
patches, which has been corrected.
(merge 96386faa03 js/add-i-color-fix later to maint).
* Processes that access packdata while the .idx file gets removed
(e.g. while repacking) did not fail or fall back gracefully as they
could.
(merge 506ec2fbda tb/idx-midx-race-fix later to maint).
* "git apply" adjusted the permission bits of working-tree files and
directories according to core.sharedRepository setting by mistake and
for a long time, which has been corrected.
(merge eb3c027e17 mt/do-not-use-scld-in-working-tree later to maint).
* "fetch-pack" could pass NULL pointer to unlink(2) when it sees an
invalid filename; the error checking has been tightened to make
this impossible.
(merge 6031af387e rs/fetch-pack-invalid-lockfile later to maint).
* "git maintenance run/start/stop" needed to be run in a repository
to hold the lockfile they use, but didn't make sure they are
actually in a repository, which has been corrected.
* The glossary described a branch as an "active" line of development,
which is misleading---a stale and non-moving branch is still a
branch.
(merge eef1ceabd8 so/glossary-branch-is-not-necessarily-active later to maint).
* Newer versions of xsltproc can assign IDs in HTML documents it
generates in a consistent manner. Use the feature to help format
HTML version of the user manual reproducibly.
(merge 3569e11d69 ae/doc-reproducible-html later to maint).
* Tighten error checking in the codepath that responds to "git fetch".
(merge d43a21bdbb jk/check-config-parsing-error-in-upload-pack later to maint).
* "git pack-redundant" when there is only one packfile used to crash,
which has been corrected.
(merge 0696232390 jx/pack-redundant-on-single-pack later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge 3e0a5dc9af cc/doc-filter-branch-typofix later to maint).
(merge 32c83afc2c cw/ci-ghwf-check-ws-errors later to maint).
(merge 5eb2ed691b rs/tighten-callers-of-deref-tag later to maint).

git: update to 2.36.0
Git 2.36 Release Notes
======================
Updates since Git 2.35
----------------------
Backward compatibility warts
* "git name-rev --stdin" has been deprecated and issues a warning
when used; use "git name-rev --annotate-stdin" instead.
* "git clone --filter=... --recurse-submodules" only makes the
top-level a partial clone, while submodules are fully cloned. This
behaviour is changed to pass the same filter down to the submodules.
* With the fixes for CVE-2022-24765 that are common with versions of
Git 2.30.4, 2.31.3, 2.32.2, 2.33.3, 2.34.3, and 2.35.3, Git has
been taught not to recognise repositories owned by other users, in
order to avoid getting affected by their config files and hooks.
You can list the path to the safe/trusted repositories that may be
owned by others on a multi-valued configuration variable
`safe.directory` to override this behaviour, or use '*' to declare
that you trust anything.
Note to those who build from the source
* Since Git 2.31, our source assumed that the compiler you use to
build Git supports variadic macros, with an easy-to-use escape
hatch to allow compilation without variadic macros with an request
to report that you had to use the escape hatch to the list.
Because we haven't heard from anybody who actually needed to use
the escape hatch, it has been removed, making support of variadic
macros a hard requirement.
UI, Workflows & Features
* Assorted updates to "git cat-file", especially "-h".
* The command line completion (in contrib/) learns to complete
arguments to give to "git sparse-checkout" command.
* "git log --remerge-diff" shows the difference from mechanical merge
result and the result that is actually recorded in a merge commit.
* "git log" and friends learned an option --exclude-first-parent-only
to propagate UNINTERESTING bit down only along the first-parent
chain, just like --first-parent option shows commits that lack the
UNINTERESTING bit only along the first-parent chain.
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to
complete all Git subcommands, including the ones that are normally
hidden, when GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS is used.
* "git branch" learned the "--recurse-submodules" option.
* A user can forget to make a script file executable before giving
it to "git bisect run". In such a case, all tests will exit with
126 or 127 error codes, even on revisions that are marked as good.
Try to recognize this situation and stop iteration early.
* When "index-pack" dies due to incoming data exceeding the maximum
allowed input size, include the value of the limit in the error
message.
* The error message given by "git switch HEAD~4" has been clarified
to suggest the "--detach" option that is required.
* In sparse-checkouts, files mis-marked as missing from the working tree
could lead to later problems. Such files were hard to discover, and
harder to correct. Automatically detecting and correcting the marking
of such files has been added to avoid these problems.
* "git cat-file" learns "--batch-command" mode, which is a more
flexible interface than the existing "--batch" or "--batch-check"
modes, to allow different kinds of inquiries made.
* The level of verbose output from the ort backend during inner merge
has been aligned to that of the recursive backend.
* "git remote rename A B", depending on the number of remote-tracking
refs involved, takes long time renaming them. The command has been
taught to show progress bar while making the user wait.
* Bundle file format gets extended to allow a partial bundle,
filtered by similar criteria you would give when making a
partial/lazy clone.
* A new built-in userdiff driver for kotlin has been added.
* "git repack" learned a new configuration to disable triggering of
age-old "update-server-info" command, which is rarely useful these
days.
* "git stash" does not allow subcommands it internally runs as its
implementation detail, except for "git reset", to emit messages;
now "git reset" part has also been squelched.
* "git ls-tree" learns "--oid-only" option, similar to "--name-only",
and more generalized "--format" option.
* "git fetch --refetch" learned to fetch everything without telling
the other side what we already have, which is useful when you
cannot trust what you have in the local object store.
* "git branch" gives hint when branch tracking cannot be established
because fetch refspecs from multiple remote repositories overlap.
* "git worktree list --porcelain" did not c-quote pathnames and lock
reasons with unsafe bytes correctly, which is worked around by
introducing NUL terminated output format with "-z".
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* "git apply" (ab)used the util pointer of the string-list to keep
track of how each symbolic link needs to be handled, which has been
simplified by using strset.
* Fix a hand-rolled alloca() imitation that may have violated
alignment requirement of data being sorted in compatibility
implementation of qsort_s() and stable qsort().
* Use the parse-options API in "git reflog" command.
* The conditional inclusion mechanism of configuration files using
"[includeIf <condition>]" learns to base its decision on the
URL of the remote repository the repository interacts with.
(merge 399b198489 jt/conditional-config-on-remote-url later to maint).
* "git name-rev --stdin" does not behave like usual "--stdin" at
all. Start the process of renaming it to "--annotate-stdin".
(merge a2585719b3 jc/name-rev-stdin later to maint).
* "git update-index", "git checkout-index", and "git clean" are
taught to work better with the sparse checkout feature.
* Use an internal call to reset_head() helper function instead of
spawning "git checkout" in "rebase", and update code paths that are
involved in the change.
* Messages "ort" merge backend prepares while dealing with conflicted
paths were unnecessarily confusing since it did not differentiate
inner merges and outer merges.
* Small modernization of the rerere-train script (in contrib/).
* Use designated initializers we started using in mid 2017 in more
parts of the codebase that are relatively quiescent.
* Improve failure case behaviour of xdiff library when memory
allocation fails.
* General clean-up in reftable implementation, including
clarification of the API documentation, tightening the code to
honor documented length limit, etc.
* Remove the escape hatch we added when we introduced the weather
balloon to use variadic macros unconditionally, to make it official
that we now have a hard dependency on the feature.
* Makefile refactoring with a bit of suffixes rule stripping to
optimize the runtime overhead.
* "git stash drop" is reimplemented as an internal call to
reflog_delete() function, instead of invoking "git reflog delete"
via run_command() API.
* Count string_list items in size_t, not "unsigned int".
* The single-key interactive operation used by "git add -p" has been
made more robust.
* Remove unneeded <meta http-equiv=content-type...> from gitweb
output.
* "git name-rev" learned to use the generation numbers when setting
the lower bound of searching commits used to explain the revision,
when available, instead of committer time.
* Replace core.fsyncObjectFiles with two new configuration variables,
core.fsync and core.fsyncMethod.
* Updates to refs traditionally weren't fsync'ed, but we can
configure using core.fsync variable to do so.
* "git reflog" command now uses parse-options API to parse its
command line options.
Fixes since v2.35
-----------------
* "rebase" and "stash" in secondary worktrees are broken in
Git 2.35.0, which has been corrected.
* "git pull --rebase" ignored the rebase.autostash configuration
variable when the remote history is a descendant of our history,
which has been corrected.
(merge 3013d98d7a pb/pull-rebase-autostash-fix later to maint).
* "git update-index --refresh" has been taught to deal better with
racy timestamps (just like "git status" already does).
(merge 2ede073fd2 ms/update-index-racy later to maint).
* Avoid tests that are run under GIT_TRACE2 set from failing
unnecessarily.
(merge 944d808e42 js/test-unset-trace2-parents later to maint).
* The merge-ort misbehaved when merge.renameLimit configuration is
set too low and failed to find all renames.
(merge 9ae39fef7f en/merge-ort-restart-optim-fix later to maint).
* We explain that revs come first before the pathspec among command
line arguments, but did not spell out that dashed options come
before other args, which has been corrected.
(merge c11f95010c tl/doc-cli-options-first later to maint).
* "git add -p" rewritten in C regressed hunk splitting in some cases,
which has been corrected.
(merge 7008ddc645 pw/add-p-hunk-split-fix later to maint).
* "git fetch --negotiate-only" is an internal command used by "git
push" to figure out which part of our history is missing from the
other side. It should never recurse into submodules even when
fetch.recursesubmodules configuration variable is set, nor it
should trigger "gc". The code has been tightened up to ensure it
only does common ancestry discovery and nothing else.
(merge de4eaae63a gc/fetch-negotiate-only-early-return later to maint).
* The code path that verifies signatures made with ssh were made to
work better on a system with CRLF line endings.
(merge caeef01ea7 fs/ssh-signing-crlf later to maint).
* "git sparse-checkout init" failed to write into $GIT_DIR/info
directory when the repository was created without one, which has
been corrected to auto-create it.
(merge 7f44842ac1 jt/sparse-checkout-leading-dir-fix later to maint).
* Cloning from a repository that does not yet have any branches or
tags but has other refs resulted in a "remote transport reported
error", which has been corrected.
(merge dccea605b6 jt/clone-not-quite-empty later to maint).
* Mark in various places in the code that the sparse index and the
split index features are mutually incompatible.
(merge 451b66c533 js/sparse-vs-split-index later to maint).
* Update the logic to compute alignment requirement for our mem-pool.
(merge e38bcc66d8 jc/mem-pool-alignment later to maint).
* Pick a better random number generator and use it when we prepare
temporary filenames.
(merge 47efda967c bc/csprng-mktemps later to maint).
* Update the contributor-facing documents on proposed log messages.
(merge cdba0295b0 jc/doc-log-messages later to maint).
* When "git fetch --prune" failed to prune the refs it wanted to
prune, the command issued error messages but exited with exit
status 0, which has been corrected.
(merge c9e04d905e tg/fetch-prune-exit-code-fix later to maint).
* Problems identified by Coverity in the reftable code have been
corrected.
(merge 01033de49f hn/reftable-coverity-fixes later to maint).
* A bug that made multi-pack bitmap and the object order out-of-sync,
making the .midx data corrupt, has been fixed.
(merge f8b60cf99b tb/midx-bitmap-corruption-fix later to maint).
* The build procedure has been taught to notice older version of zlib
and enable our replacement uncompress2() automatically.
(merge 07564773c2 ab/auto-detect-zlib-compress2 later to maint).
* Interaction between fetch.negotiationAlgorithm and
feature.experimental configuration variables has been corrected.
(merge 714edc620c en/fetch-negotiation-default-fix later to maint).
* "git diff --diff-filter=aR" is now parsed correctly.
(merge 75408ca949 js/diff-filter-negation-fix later to maint).
* When "git subtree" wants to create a merge, it used "git merge" and
let it be affected by end-user's "merge.ff" configuration, which
has been corrected.
(merge 9158a3564a tk/subtree-merge-not-ff-only later to maint).
* Unlike "git apply", "git patch-id" did not handle patches with
hunks that has only 1 line in either preimage or postimage, which
has been corrected.
(merge 757e75c81e jz/patch-id-hunk-header-parsing-fix later to maint).
* "receive-pack" checks if it will do any ref updates (various
conditions could reject a push) before received objects are taken
out of the temporary directory used for quarantine purposes, so
that a push that is known-to-fail will not leave crufts that a
future "gc" needs to clean up.
(merge 5407764069 cb/clear-quarantine-early-on-all-ref-update-errors later to maint).
* When there is no object to write .bitmap file for, "git
multi-pack-index" triggered an error, instead of just skipping,
which has been corrected.
(merge eb57277ba3 tb/midx-no-bitmap-for-no-objects later to maint).
* "git cmd -h" outside a repository should error out cleanly for many
commands, but instead it hit a BUG(), which has been corrected.
(merge 87ad07d735 js/short-help-outside-repo-fix later to maint).
* "working tree" and "per-worktree ref" were in glossary, but
"worktree" itself wasn't, which has been corrected.
(merge 2df5387ed0 jc/glossary-worktree later to maint).
* L10n support for a few error messages.
(merge 3d3c23b3a7 bs/forbid-i18n-of-protocol-token-in-fetch-pack later to maint).
* Test modernization.
(merge d4fe066e4b sy/t0001-use-path-is-helper later to maint).
* "git log --graph --graph" used to leak a graph structure, and there
was no way to countermand "--graph" that appear earlier on the
command line. A "--no-graph" option has been added and resource
leakage has been plugged.
* Error output given in response to an ambiguous object name has been
improved.
(merge 3a73c1dfaf ab/ambiguous-object-name later to maint).
* "git sparse-checkout" wants to work with per-worktree configuration,
but did not work well in a worktree attached to a bare repository.
(merge 3ce1138272 ds/sparse-checkout-requires-per-worktree-config later to maint).
* Setting core.untrackedCache to true failed to add the untracked
cache extension to the index.
* Workaround we have for versions of PCRE2 before their version 10.36
were in effect only for their versions newer than 10.36 by mistake,
which has been corrected.
(merge 97169fc361 rs/pcre-invalid-utf8-fix-fix later to maint).
* Document Taylor as a new member of Git PLC at SFC. Welcome.
(merge e8d56ca863 tb/coc-plc-update later to maint).
* "git checkout -b branch/with/multi/level/name && git stash" only
recorded the last level component of the branch name, which has
been corrected.
* Check the return value from parse_tree_indirect() to turn segfaults
into calls to die().
(merge 8d2eaf649a gc/parse-tree-indirect-errors later to maint).
* Newer version of GPGSM changed its output in a backward
incompatible way to break our code that parses its output. It also
added more processes our tests need to kill when cleaning up.
Adjustments have been made to accommodate these changes.
(merge b0b70d54c4 fs/gpgsm-update later to maint).
* The untracked cache newly computed weren't written back to the
on-disk index file when there is no other change to the index,
which has been corrected.
* "git config -h" did not describe the "--type" option correctly.
(merge 5445124fad mf/fix-type-in-config-h later to maint).
* The way generation number v2 in the commit-graph files are
(not) handled has been corrected.
(merge 6dbf4b8172 ds/commit-graph-gen-v2-fixes later to maint).
* The method to trigger malloc check used in our tests no longer work
with newer versions of glibc.
(merge baedc59543 ep/test-malloc-check-with-glibc-2.34 later to maint).
* When "git fetch --recurse-submodules" grabbed submodule commits
that would be needed to recursively check out newly fetched commits
in the superproject, it only paid attention to submodules that are
in the current checkout of the superproject. We now do so for all
submodules that have been run "git submodule init" on.
* "git rebase $base $non_branch_commit", when $base is an ancestor or
the $non_branch_commit, modified the current branch, which has been
corrected.
* When "shallow" information is updated, we forgot to update the
in-core equivalent, which has been corrected.
* When creating a loose object file, we didn't report the exact
filename of the file we failed to fsync, even though the
information was readily available, which has been corrected.
* "git am" can read from the standard input when no mailbox is given
on the command line, but the end-user gets no indication when it
happens, making Git appear stuck.
(merge 7b20af6a06 jc/mailsplit-warn-on-tty later to maint).
* "git mv" failed to refresh the cached stat information for the
entry it moved.
(merge b7f9130a06 vd/mv-refresh-stat later to maint).

* The code path that verifies signatures made with ssh were made to
work better on a system with CRLF line endings.
(merge caeef01ea7 fs/ssh-signing-crlf later to maint).
* "git sparse-checkout init" failed to write into $GIT_DIR/info
directory when the repository was created without one, which has
been corrected to auto-create it.
(merge 7f44842ac1 jt/sparse-checkout-leading-dir-fix later to maint).
* Cloning from a repository that does not yet have any branches or
tags but has other refs resulted in a "remote transport reported
error", which has been corrected.
(merge dccea605b6 jt/clone-not-quite-empty later to maint).
* Mark in various places in the code that the sparse index and the
split index features are mutually incompatible.
(merge 451b66c533 js/sparse-vs-split-index later to maint).
* Update the logic to compute alignment requirement for our mem-pool.
(merge e38bcc66d8 jc/mem-pool-alignment later to maint).
* Pick a better random number generator and use it when we prepare
temporary filenames.
(merge 47efda967c bc/csprng-mktemps later to maint).
* Update the contributor-facing documents on proposed log messages.
(merge cdba0295b0 jc/doc-log-messages later to maint).
* When "git fetch --prune" failed to prune the refs it wanted to
prune, the command issued error messages but exited with exit
status 0, which has been corrected.
(merge c9e04d905e tg/fetch-prune-exit-code-fix later to maint).
* Problems identified by Coverity in the reftable code have been
corrected.
(merge 01033de49f hn/reftable-coverity-fixes later to maint).
* A bug that made multi-pack bitmap and the object order out-of-sync,
making the .midx data corrupt, has been fixed.
(merge f8b60cf99b tb/midx-bitmap-corruption-fix later to maint).
* The build procedure has been taught to notice older version of zlib
and enable our replacement uncompress2() automatically.
(merge 07564773c2 ab/auto-detect-zlib-compress2 later to maint).
* Interaction between fetch.negotiationAlgorithm and
feature.experimental configuration variables has been corrected.
(merge 714edc620c en/fetch-negotiation-default-fix later to maint).
* "git diff --diff-filter=aR" is now parsed correctly.
(merge 75408ca949 js/diff-filter-negation-fix later to maint).
* When "git subtree" wants to create a merge, it used "git merge" and
let it be affected by end-user's "merge.ff" configuration, which
has been corrected.
(merge 9158a3564a tk/subtree-merge-not-ff-only later to maint).
* Unlike "git apply", "git patch-id" did not handle patches with
hunks that has only 1 line in either preimage or postimage, which
has been corrected.
(merge 757e75c81e jz/patch-id-hunk-header-parsing-fix later to maint).
* "receive-pack" checks if it will do any ref updates (various
conditions could reject a push) before received objects are taken
out of the temporary directory used for quarantine purposes, so
that a push that is known-to-fail will not leave crufts that a
future "gc" needs to clean up.
(merge 5407764069 cb/clear-quarantine-early-on-all-ref-update-errors later to maint).
* When there is no object to write .bitmap file for, "git
multi-pack-index" triggered an error, instead of just skipping,
which has been corrected.
(merge eb57277ba3 tb/midx-no-bitmap-for-no-objects later to maint).
* "git cmd -h" outside a repository should error out cleanly for many
commands, but instead it hit a BUG(), which has been corrected.
(merge 87ad07d735 js/short-help-outside-repo-fix later to maint).
* "working tree" and "per-worktree ref" were in glossary, but
"worktree" itself wasn't, which has been corrected.
(merge 2df5387ed0 jc/glossary-worktree later to maint).
* L10n support for a few error messages.
(merge 3d3c23b3a7 bs/forbid-i18n-of-protocol-token-in-fetch-pack later to maint).
* Test modernization.
(merge d4fe066e4b sy/t0001-use-path-is-helper later to maint).
* "git log --graph --graph" used to leak a graph structure, and there
was no way to countermand "--graph" that appear earlier on the
command line. A "--no-graph" option has been added and resource
leakage has been plugged.
* Error output given in response to an ambiguous object name has been
improved.
(merge 3a73c1dfaf ab/ambiguous-object-name later to maint).
* "git sparse-checkout" wants to work with per-worktree configuration,
but did not work well in a worktree attached to a bare repository.
(merge 3ce1138272 ds/sparse-checkout-requires-per-worktree-config later to maint).
* Setting core.untrackedCache to true failed to add the untracked
cache extension to the index.
* Workaround we have for versions of PCRE2 before their version 10.36
were in effect only for their versions newer than 10.36 by mistake,
which has been corrected.
(merge 97169fc361 rs/pcre-invalid-utf8-fix-fix later to maint).
* Document Taylor as a new member of Git PLC at SFC. Welcome.
(merge e8d56ca863 tb/coc-plc-update later to maint).
* "git checkout -b branch/with/multi/level/name && git stash" only
recorded the last level component of the branch name, which has
been corrected.
* Check the return value from parse_tree_indirect() to turn segfaults
into calls to die().
(merge 8d2eaf649a gc/parse-tree-indirect-errors later to maint).
* Newer version of GPGSM changed its output in a backward
incompatible way to break our code that parses its output. It also
added more processes our tests need to kill when cleaning up.
Adjustments have been made to accommodate these changes.
(merge b0b70d54c4 fs/gpgsm-update later to maint).
* The untracked cache newly computed weren't written back to the
on-disk index file when there is no other change to the index,
which has been corrected.
* "git config -h" did not describe the "--type" option correctly.
(merge 5445124fad mf/fix-type-in-config-h later to maint).
* The way generation number v2 in the commit-graph files are
(not) handled has been corrected.
(merge 6dbf4b8172 ds/commit-graph-gen-v2-fixes later to maint).
* The method to trigger malloc check used in our tests no longer work
with newer versions of glibc.
(merge baedc59543 ep/test-malloc-check-with-glibc-2.34 later to maint).
* When "git fetch --recurse-submodules" grabbed submodule commits
that would be needed to recursively check out newly fetched commits
in the superproject, it only paid attention to submodules that are
in the current checkout of the superproject. We now do so for all
submodules that have been run "git submodule init" on.
* "git rebase $base $non_branch_commit", when $base is an ancestor or
the $non_branch_commit, modified the current branch, which has been
corrected.
* When "shallow" information is updated, we forgot to update the
in-core equivalent, which has been corrected.
* When creating a loose object file, we didn't report the exact
filename of the file we failed to fsync, even though the
information was readily available, which has been corrected.
* "git am" can read from the standard input when no mailbox is given
on the command line, but the end-user gets no indication when it
happens, making Git appear stuck.
(merge 7b20af6a06 jc/mailsplit-warn-on-tty later to maint).
* "git mv" failed to refresh the cached stat information for the
entry it moved.
(merge b7f9130a06 vd/mv-refresh-stat later to maint).

Changes 2.2.0:
Ports
* Building on older MacOS X systems automatically sets
the necessary NO_APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO build-time option.
* Building with NO_PTHREADS has been resurrected.
* Compilation options have been updated a bit to better support the
z/OS port.
UI, Workflows & Features
* "git archive" learned to filter what gets archived with a pathspec.
* "git config --edit --global" starts from a skeletal per-user
configuration file contents, instead of a total blank, when the
user does not already have any global config. This immediately
reduces the need to later ask "Have you forgotten to set
core.user?", and we can add more to the template as we gain
more experience.
* "git stash list -p" used to be almost always a no-op because each
stash entry is represented as a merge commit. It learned to show
the difference between the base commit version and the working tree
version, which is in line with what "git stash show" gives.
* Sometimes users want to report a bug they experience on their
repository, but they are not at liberty to share the contents of
the repository. "fast-export" was taught an "--anonymize" option
to replace blob contents, names of people, paths and log
messages with bland and simple strings to help them.
* "git difftool" learned an option to stop feeding paths to the
diff backend when it exits with a non-zero status.
* "git grep" learned to paint (or not paint) partial matches on
context lines when showing "grep -C<num>" output in color.
* "log --date=iso" uses a slight variant of the ISO 8601 format that is
more human readable. A new "--date=iso-strict" option gives
datetime output that conforms more strictly.
* The logic "git prune" uses is more resilient against various corner
cases.
* A broken reimplementation of Git could write an invalid index that
records both stage 0 and higher-stage entries for the same path.
We now notice and reject such an index, as there is no sensible
fallback (we do not know if the broken tool wanted to resolve and
forgot to remove the higher-stage entries, or if it wanted to unresolve
and forgot to remove the stage 0 entry).
* The temporary files "git mergetool" uses are renamed to avoid too
many dots in them (e.g. a temporary file for "hello.c" used to be
named e.g. "hello.BASE.4321.c" but now uses underscore instead,
e.g. "hello_BASE_4321.c", to allow us to have multiple variants).
* The temporary files "git mergetool" uses can be placed in a newly
created temporary directory, instead of the current directory, by
setting the mergetool.writeToTemp configuration variable.
* "git mergetool" understands "--tool bc" now, as version 4 of
BeyondCompare can be driven the same way as its version 3 and it
feels awkward to say "--tool bc3" to run version 4.
* The "pre-receive" and "post-receive" hooks are no longer required
to consume their input fully (not following this requirement used
to result in intermittent errors in "git push").
* The pretty-format specifier "%d", which expands to " (tagname)"
for a tagged commit, gained a cousin "%D" that just gives the
"tagname" without frills.
* "git push" learned "--signed" push, that allows a push (i.e.
request to update the refs on the other side to point at a new
history, together with the transmission of necessary objects) to be
signed, so that it can be verified and audited, using the GPG
signature of the person who pushed, that the tips of branches at a
public repository really point the commits the pusher wanted to,
without having to "trust" the server.
* "git interpret-trailers" is a new filter to programmatically edit
the tail end of the commit log messages, e.g. "Signed-off-by:".
* "git help everyday" shows the "Everyday Git in 20 commands or so"
document, whose contents have been updated to match more modern
Git practice.
* On the "git svn" front, work progresses to reduce memory consumption and
to improve handling of mergeinfo.

git: updated to 2.30.0
Git 2.30 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.29
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Userdiff for PHP update.
* Userdiff for Rust update.
* Userdiff for CSS update.
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git
stash show" takes the options "git diff" takes.
* "git worktree list" now shows if each worktree is locked. This
possibly may open us to show other kinds of states in the future.
* "git maintenance", an extended big brother of "git gc", continues
to evolve.
* "git push --force-with-lease[=<ref>]" can easily be misused to lose
commits unless the user takes good care of their own "git fetch".
A new option "--force-if-includes" attempts to ensure that what is
being force-pushed was created after examining the commit at the
tip of the remote ref that is about to be force-replaced.
* "git clone" learned clone.defaultremotename configuration variable
to customize what nickname to use to call the remote the repository
was cloned from.
* "git checkout" learned to use checkout.guess configuration variable
and enable/disable its "--[no-]guess" option accordingly.
* "git resurrect" script (in contrib/) learned that the object names
may be longer than 40-hex depending on the hash function in use.
* "git diff A...B" learned "git diff --merge-base A B", which is a
longer short-hand to say the same thing.
* A sample 'push-to-checkout' hook, that performs the same as
what the built-in default action does, has been added.
* "git diff" family of commands learned the "-I<regex>" option to
ignore hunks whose changed lines all match the given pattern.
* The userdiff pattern learned to identify the function definition in
POSIX shells and bash.
* "git checkout-index" did not consistently signal an error with its
exit status, but now it does.
* A commit and tag object may have CR at the end of each and
every line (you can create such an object with hash-object or
using --cleanup=verbatim to decline the default clean-up
action), but it would make it impossible to have a blank line
to separate the title from the body of the message. We are now
more lenient and accept a line with lone CR on it as a blank line,
too.
* Exit codes from "git remote add" etc. were not usable by scripted
callers, but now they are.
* "git archive" now allows compression level higher than "-9"
when generating tar.gz output.
* Zsh autocompletion (in contrib/) update.
* The maximum length of output filenames "git format-patch" creates
has become configurable (used to be capped at 64).
* "git rev-parse" learned the "--end-of-options" to help scripts to
safely take a parameter that is supposed to be a revision, e.g.
"git rev-parse --verify -q --end-of-options $rev".
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to expand
commands that are alias of alias.
* "git update-ref --stdin" learns to take multiple transactions in a
single session.
* Various subcommands of "git config" that take value_regex
learned the "--literal-value" option to take the value_regex option
as a literal string.
* The transport layer was taught to optionally exchange the session
ID assigned by the trace2 subsystem during fetch/push transactions.
* "git imap-send" used to ignore configuration variables like
core.askpass; this has been corrected.
* "git $cmd $args", when $cmd is not a recognised subcommand, by
default tries to see if $cmd is a typo of an existing subcommand
and optionally executes the corrected command if there is only one
possibility, depending on the setting of help.autocorrect; the
users can now disable the whole thing, including the cycles spent
to find a likely typo, by setting the configuration variable to
'never'.
* "@" sometimes worked (e.g. "git push origin @:there") as a part of
a refspec element, but "git push origin @" did not work, which has
been corrected.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Use "git archive" more to produce the release tarball.
* GitHub Actions automated test improvement to skip tests on a tree
identical to what has already been tested.
* Test-coverage for running commit-graph task "git maintenance" has
been extended.
* Our test scripts can be told to run only individual pieces while
skipping others with the "--run=..." option; they were taught to
take a substring of test title, in addition to numbers, to name the
test pieces to run.
* Adjust tests so that they won't scream when the default initial
branch name is different from 'master'.
* Rewriting "git bisect" in C continues.
* More preliminary tests have been added to document desired outcomes
of various "directory rename" situations.
* Micro clean-up of a couple of test scripts.
* "git diff" and other commands that share the same machinery to
compare with working tree files have been taught to take advantage
of the fsmonitor data when available.
* The code to detect premature EOF in the sideband demultiplexer has
been cleaned up.
* "git fetch --depth=<n>" over the stateless RPC / smart HTTP
transport handled EOF from the client poorly at the server end.
* A specialization of hashmap that uses a string as key has been
introduced. Hopefully it will see wider use over time.
* "git bisect start/next" in a large span of history spends a lot of
time trying to come up with exactly the half-way point; this can be
optimized by stopping when we see a commit that is close enough to
the half-way point.
* A lazily defined test prerequisite can now be defined in terms of
another lazily defined test prerequisite.
* Expectation for the original contributor after responding to a
review comment to use the explanation in a patch update has been
described.
* Multiple "credential-store" backends can race to lock the same
file, causing everybody else but one to fail---reattempt locking
with some timeout to reduce the rate of the failure.
* "git-parse-remote" shell script library outlived its usefulness.
* Like die() and error(), a call to warning() will also trigger a
trace2 event.
* Use of non-reentrant localtime() has been removed.
* Non-reentrant time-related library functions and ctime/asctime with
awkward calling interfaces are banned from the codebase.
Fixes since v2.29
-----------------
* In 2.29, "--committer-date-is-author-date" option of "rebase" and
"am" subcommands lost the e-mail address by mistake, which has been
corrected.
(merge 5f35edd9d7 jk/committer-date-is-author-date-fix later to maint).
* "git checkout -p A...B [-- <path>]" did not work, even though the
same command without "-p" correctly used the merge-base between
commits A and B.
(merge 35166b1fb5 dl/checkout-p-merge-base later to maint).
* The side-band status report can be sent at the same time as the
primary payload multiplexed, but the demultiplexer on the receiving
end incorrectly split a single status report into two, which has
been corrected.
(merge 712b0377db js/avoid-split-sideband-message later to maint).
* "git fast-import" wasted a lot of memory when many marks were in use.
(merge 3f018ec716 jk/fast-import-marks-alloc-fix later to maint).
* A test helper "test_cmp A B" was taught to diagnose missing files A
or B as a bug in test, but some tests legitimately wanted to notice
a failure to even create file B as an error, in addition to leaving
the expected result in it, and were misdiagnosed as a bug. This
has been corrected.
(merge 262d5ad5a5 es/test-cmp-typocatcher later to maint).
* When "git commit-graph" detects the same commit recorded more than
once while it is merging the layers, it used to die. The code now
ignores all but one of them and continues.
(merge 85102ac71b ds/commit-graph-merging-fix later to maint).
* The meaning of a Signed-off-by trailer can vary from project to
project; this and also what it means to this project has been
clarified in the documentation.
(merge 3abd4a67d9 bk/sob-dco later to maint).
* "git credential' didn't honor the core.askPass configuration
variable (among other things), which has been corrected.
(merge 567ad2c0f9 tk/credential-config later to maint).
* Dev support to catch a tentative definition of a variable in our C
code as an error.
(merge 5539183622 jk/no-common later to maint).
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" did not correctly pass --gpg-sign
command line option to underlying "git merge" when replaying a merge
using non-default merge strategy or when replaying an octopus merge
(because replaying a two-head merge with the default strategy was
done in a separate codepath, the problem did not trigger for most
users), which has been corrected.
(merge 43ad4f2eca sc/sequencer-gpg-octopus later to maint).
* "git apply -R" did not handle patches that touch the same path
twice correctly, which has been corrected. This is most relevant
in a patch that changes a path from a regular file to a symbolic
link (and vice versa).
(merge b0f266de11 jt/apply-reverse-twice later to maint).
* A recent oid->hash conversion missed one spot, breaking "git svn".
(merge 03bb366de4 bc/svn-hash-oid-fix later to maint).
* The documentation on the "--abbrev=<n>" option did not say the
output may be longer than "<n>" hexdigits, which has been
clarified.
(merge cda34e0d0c jc/abbrev-doc later to maint).
* "git p4" now honors init.defaultBranch configuration.
(merge 1b09d1917f js/p4-default-branch later to maint).
* Recently the format of an internal state file "rebase -i" uses has
been tightened up for consistency, which would hurt those who start
"rebase -i" with old git and then continue with new git. Loosen
the reader side a bit (which we may want to tighten again in a year
or so).
(merge c779386182 jc/sequencer-stopped-sha-simplify later to maint).
* The code to see if "git stash drop" can safely remove refs/stash
has been made more careful.
(merge 4f44c5659b rs/empty-reflog-check-fix later to maint).
* "git log -L<range>:<path>" is documented to take no pathspec, but
this was not enforced by the command line option parser, which has
been corrected.
(merge 39664cb0ac jc/line-log-takes-no-pathspec later to maint).
* "git format-patch --output=there" did not work as expected and
instead crashed. The option is now supported.
(merge dc1672dd10 jk/format-patch-output later to maint).
* Define ARM64 compiled with MSVC to be little-endian.
(merge 0c038fc65a dg/bswap-msvc later to maint).
* "git rebase -i" did not store ORIG_HEAD correctly.
(merge 8843302307 pw/rebase-i-orig-head later to maint).
* "git blame -L :funcname -- path" did not work well for a path for
which a userdiff driver is defined.
* "make DEVELOPER=1 sparse" used to run sparse and let it emit
warnings; now such warnings will cause an error.
(merge 521dc56270 jc/sparse-error-for-developer-build later to maint).
* "git blame --ignore-revs-file=<file>" learned to ignore a
non-existent object name in the input, instead of complaining.
(merge c714d05875 jc/blame-ignore-fix later to maint).
* Running "git diff" while allowing external diff in a state with
unmerged paths used to segfault, which has been corrected.
(merge d66851806f jk/diff-release-filespec-fix later to maint).
* Build configuration cleanup.
(merge b990f02fd8 ab/config-mak-uname-simplify later to maint).
* Fix regression introduced when nvimdiff support in mergetool was added.
(merge 12026f46e7 pd/mergetool-nvimdiff later to maint).
* The exchange between receive-pack and proc-receive hook did not
carefully check for errors.
* The code was not prepared to deal with pack .idx file that is
larger than 4GB.
(merge 81c4c5cf2e jk/4gb-idx later to maint).
* Since jgit does not yet work with SHA-256 repositories, mark the
tests that use it not to run unless we are testing with ShA-1
repositories.
(merge ea699b4adc sg/t5310-jgit-wants-sha1 later to maint).
* Config parser fix for "git notes".
(merge 45fef1599a na/notes-displayref-is-not-boolean later to maint).
* Move a definition of compatibility wrapper from cache.h to
git-compat-util.h
(merge a76b138daa hn/sleep-millisec-decl later to maint).
* Error message fix.
(merge eaf5341538 km/stash-error-message-fix later to maint).
* "git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules" checked for local changes
in a wrong range and failed to run correctly when it should.
(merge 5176f20ffe pb/pull-rebase-recurse-submodules later to maint).
* "git push" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,
still computing to find a good compression, wasting cycles. This
has been corrected.
(merge 8b59935114 jk/stop-pack-objects-when-push-is-killed later to maint).
* "git fetch" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,
still computing to find a good compression, wasting cycles. This
has been corrected.
(merge 309a4028e7 jk/stop-pack-objects-when-fetch-is-killed later to maint).
* "git add -i" failed to honor custom colors configured to show
patches, which has been corrected.
(merge 96386faa03 js/add-i-color-fix later to maint).
* Processes that access packdata while the .idx file gets removed
(e.g. while repacking) did not fail or fall back gracefully as they
could.
(merge 506ec2fbda tb/idx-midx-race-fix later to maint).
* "git apply" adjusted the permission bits of working-tree files and
directories according to core.sharedRepository setting by mistake and
for a long time, which has been corrected.
(merge eb3c027e17 mt/do-not-use-scld-in-working-tree later to maint).
* "fetch-pack" could pass NULL pointer to unlink(2) when it sees an
invalid filename; the error checking has been tightened to make
this impossible.
(merge 6031af387e rs/fetch-pack-invalid-lockfile later to maint).
* "git maintenance run/start/stop" needed to be run in a repository
to hold the lockfile they use, but didn't make sure they are
actually in a repository, which has been corrected.
* The glossary described a branch as an "active" line of development,
which is misleading---a stale and non-moving branch is still a
branch.
(merge eef1ceabd8 so/glossary-branch-is-not-necessarily-active later to maint).
* Newer versions of xsltproc can assign IDs in HTML documents it
generates in a consistent manner. Use the feature to help format
HTML version of the user manual reproducibly.
(merge 3569e11d69 ae/doc-reproducible-html later to maint).
* Tighten error checking in the codepath that responds to "git fetch".
(merge d43a21bdbb jk/check-config-parsing-error-in-upload-pack later to maint).

which has been corrected.

git: updated to 2.20.0
Git 2.20 Release Notes
======================
Backward Compatibility Notes
----------------------------
* "git branch -l <foo>" used to be a way to ask a reflog to be
created while creating a new branch, but that is no longer the
case. It is a short-hand for "git branch --list <foo>" now.
* "git push" into refs/tags/* hierarchy is rejected without getting
forced, but "git fetch" (misguidedly) used the "fast forwarding"
rule used for the refs/heads/* hierarchy; this has been corrected,
which means some fetches of tags that did not fail with older
version of Git will fail without "--force" with this version.
* "git help -a" now gives verbose output (same as "git help -av").
Those who want the old output may say "git help --no-verbose -a"..
* "git cpn --help", when "cpn" is an alias to, say, "cherry-pick -n",
reported only the alias expansion of "cpn" in earlier versions of
Git. It now runs "git cherry-pick --help" to show the manual page
of the command, while sending the alias expansion to the standard
error stream.
* "git send-email" learned to grab address-looking string on any
trailer whose name ends with "-by". This is a backward-incompatible
change. Adding "--suppress-cc=misc-by" on the command line, or
setting sendemail.suppresscc configuration variable to "misc-by",
can be used to disable this behaviour.
Updates since v2.19
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Running "git clone" against a project that contain two files with
pathnames that differ only in cases on a case insensitive
filesystem would result in one of the files lost because the
underlying filesystem is incapable of holding both at the same
time. An attempt is made to detect such a case and warn.
* "git checkout -b newbranch [HEAD]" should not have to do as much as
checking out a commit different from HEAD. An attempt is made to
optimize this special case.
* "git rev-list --stdin </dev/null" used to be an error; it now shows
no output without an error. "git rev-list --stdin --default HEAD"
still falls back to the given default when nothing is given on the
standard input.
* Lift code from GitHub to restrict delta computation so that an
object that exists in one fork is not made into a delta against
another object that does not appear in the same forked repository.
* "git format-patch" learned new "--interdiff" and "--range-diff"
options to explain the difference between this version and the
previous attempt in the cover letter (or after the three-dashes as
a comment).
* "git mailinfo" used in "git am" learned to make a best-effort
recovery of a patch corrupted by MUA that sends text/plain with
format=flawed option.
(merge 3aa4d81f88 rs/mailinfo-format-flowed later to maint).
* The rules used by "git push" and "git fetch" to determine if a ref
can or cannot be updated were inconsistent; specifically, fetching
to update existing tags were allowed even though tags are supposed
to be unmoving anchoring points. "git fetch" was taught to forbid
updates to existing tags without the "--force" option.
* "git multi-pack-index" learned to detect corruption in the .midx
file it uses, and this feature has been integrated into "git fsck".
* Generation of (experimental) commit-graph files have so far been
fairly silent, even though it takes noticeable amount of time in a
meaningfully large repository. The users will now see progress
output.
* The minimum version of Windows supported by Windows port of Git is
now set to Vista.
* The completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete a handful of
options "git stash list" command takes.
* The completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git fetch
--multiple" only takes remote names as arguments and no refspecs.
* "git status" learns to show progress bar when refreshing the index
takes a long time.
(merge ae9af12287 nd/status-refresh-progress later to maint).
* "git help -a" and "git help -av" give different pieces of
information, and generally the "verbose" version is more friendly
to the new users. "git help -a" by default now uses the more
verbose output (with "--no-verbose", you can go back to the
original). Also "git help -av" now lists aliases and external
commands, which it did not used to.
* Unlike "grep", "git grep" by default recurses to the whole tree.
The command learned "git grep --recursive" option, so that "git
grep --no-recursive" can serve as a synonym to setting the
max-depth to 0.
* When pushing into a repository that borrows its objects from an
alternate object store, "git receive-pack" that responds to the
push request on the other side lists the tips of refs in the
alternate to reduce the amount of objects transferred. This
sometimes is detrimental when the number of refs in the alternate
is absurdly large, in which case the bandwidth saved in potentially
fewer objects transferred is wasted in excessively large ref
advertisement. The alternate refs that are advertised are now
configurable with a pair of configuration variables.
* "git cmd --help" when "cmd" is aliased used to only say "cmd is
aliased to ...". Now it shows that to the standard error stream
and runs "git $cmd --help" where $cmd is the first word of the
alias expansion.
* The documentation of "git gc" has been updated to mention that it
is no longer limited to "pruning away crufts" but also updates
ancillary files like commit-graph as a part of repository
optimization.
* "git p4 unshelve" improvements.
* The logic to select the default user name and e-mail on Windows has
been improved.
(merge 501afcb8b0 js/mingw-default-ident later to maint).
* The "rev-list --filter" feature learned to exclude all trees via
"tree:0" filter.
* "git send-email" learned to grab address-looking string on any
trailer whose name ends with "-by"; --suppress-cc=misc-by on the
command line, or setting sendemail.suppresscc configuration
variable to "misc-by", can be used to disable this behaviour.
* "git mergetool" learned to take the "--[no-]gui" option, just like
"git difftool" does.
* "git rebase -i" learned a new insn, 'break', that the user can
insert in the to-do list. Upon hitting it, the command returns
control back to the user.
* New "--pretty=format:" placeholders %GF and %GP that show the GPG
key fingerprints have been invented.
* On platforms with recent cURL library, http.sslBackend configuration
variable can be used to choose a different SSL backend at runtime.
The Windows port uses this mechanism to switch between OpenSSL and
Secure Channel while talking over the HTTPS protocol.
* "git send-email" learned to disable SMTP authentication via the
"--smtp-auth=none" option, even when the smtp username is given
(which turns the authentication on by default).
* A fourth class of configuration files (in addition to the
traditional "system wide", "per user in the $HOME directory" and
"per repository in the $GIT_DIR/config") has been introduced so
that different worktrees that share the same repository (hence the
same $GIT_DIR/config file) can use different customization.
* A pattern with '**' that does not have a slash on either side used
to be an invalid one, but the code now treats such double-asterisks
the same way as two normal asterisks that happen to be adjacent to
each other.
(merge e5bbe09e88 nd/wildmatch-double-asterisk later to maint).
* The "--no-patch" option, which can be used to get a high-level
overview without the actual line-by-line patch difference shown, of
the "range-diff" command was earlier broken, which has been
corrected.
* The recently merged "rebase in C" has an escape hatch to use the
scripted version when necessary, but it hasn't been documented,
which has been corrected.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Developer builds now use -Wunused-function compilation option.
* One of our CI tests to run with "unusual/experimental/random"
settings now also uses commit-graph and midx.
* When there are too many packfiles in a repository (which is not
recommended), looking up an object in these would require
consulting many pack .idx files; a new mechanism to have a single
file that consolidates all of these .idx files is introduced.
* "git submodule update" is getting rewritten piece-by-piece into C.
* The code for computing history reachability has been shuffled,
obtained a bunch of new tests to cover them, and then being
improved.
* The unpack_trees() API used in checking out a branch and merging
walks one or more trees along with the index. When the cache-tree
in the index tells us that we are walking a tree whose flattened
contents is known (i.e. matches a span in the index), as linearly
scanning a span in the index is much more efficient than having to
open tree objects recursively and listing their entries, the walk
can be optimized, which has been done.
* When creating a thin pack, which allows objects to be made into a
delta against another object that is not in the resulting pack but
is known to be present on the receiving end, the code learned to
take advantage of the reachability bitmap; this allows the server
to send a delta against a base beyond the "boundary" commit.
* spatch transformation to replace boolean uses of !hashcmp() to
newly introduced oideq() is added, and applied, to regain
performance lost due to support of multiple hash algorithms.
* Fix a bug in which the same path could be registered under multiple
worktree entries if the path was missing (for instance, was removed
manually). Also, as a convenience, expand the number of cases in
which --force is applicable.
* Split Documentation/config.txt for easier maintenance.
(merge 6014363f0b nd/config-split later to maint).
* Test helper binaries clean-up.
(merge c9a1f4161f nd/test-tool later to maint).
* Various tests have been updated to make it easier to swap the
hash function used for object identification.
(merge ae0c89d41b bc/hash-independent-tests later to maint).
* Update fsck.skipList implementation and documentation.
(merge 371a655074 ab/fsck-skiplist later to maint).
* An alias that expands to another alias has so far been forbidden,
but now it is allowed to create such an alias.
* Various test scripts have been updated for style and also correct
handling of exit status of various commands.
* "gc --auto" ended up calling exit(-1) upon error, which has been
corrected to use exit(1). Also the error reporting behaviour when
daemonized has been updated to exit with zero status when stopping
due to a previously discovered error (which implies there is no
point running gc to improve the situation); we used to exit with
failure in such a case.
* Various codepaths in the core-ish part learned to work on an
arbitrary in-core index structure, not necessarily the default
instance "the_index".
(merge b3c7eef9b0 nd/the-index later to maint).
* Code clean-up in the internal machinery used by "git status" and
"git commit --dry-run".
(merge 73ba5d78b4 ss/wt-status-committable later to maint).
* Some environment variables that control the runtime options of Git
used during tests are getting renamed for consistency.
(merge 4231d1ba99 bp/rename-test-env-var later to maint).
* A pair of new extensions to the index file have been introduced.
They allow the index file to be read in parallel for performance.
* The oidset API was built on top of the oidmap API which in turn is
on the hashmap API. Replace the implementation to build on top of
the khash API and gain performance.
* Over some transports, fetching objects with an exact commit object
name can be done without first seeing the ref advertisements. The
code has been optimized to exploit this.
* In a partial clone that will lazily be hydrated from the
originating repository, we generally want to avoid "does this
object exist (locally)?" on objects that we deliberately omitted
when we created the clone. The cache-tree codepath (which is used
to write a tree object out of the index) however insisted that the
object exists, even for paths that are outside of the partial
checkout area. The code has been updated to avoid such a check.
* To help developers, an EditorConfig file that attempts to follow
the project convention has been added.
(merge b548d698a0 bc/editorconfig later to maint).
* The result of coverage test can be combined with "git blame" to
check the test coverage of code introduced recently with a new
'coverage-diff' tool (in contrib/).
(merge 783faedd65 ds/coverage-diff later to maint).
* An experiment to fuzz test a few areas, hopefully we can gain more
coverage to various areas.
* More codepaths are moving away from hardcoded hash sizes.
* The way the Windows port figures out the current directory has been
improved.
* The way DLLs are loaded on the Windows port has been improved.
* Some tests have been reorganized and renamed; "ls t/" now gives a
better overview of what is tested for these scripts than before.
* "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" have been reimplemented in C.
* Windows port learned to use nano-second resolution file timestamps.
* The overly large Documentation/config.txt file have been split into
million little pieces. This potentially allows each individual piece
to be included into the manual page of the command it affects more easily.
* Replace three string-list instances used as look-up tables in "git
fetch" with hashmaps.
* Unify code to read the author-script used in "git am" and the
commands that use the sequencer machinery, e.g. "git rebase -i".
* In preparation to the day when we can deprecate and remove the
"rebase -p", make sure we can skip and later remove tests for
it.
* The history traversal used to implement the tag-following has been
optimized by introducing a new helper.
* The helper function to refresh the cached stat information in the
in-core index has learned to perform the lstat() part of the
operation in parallel on multi-core platforms.
* The code to traverse objects for reachability, used to decide what
objects are unreferenced and expendable, have been taught to also
consider per-worktree refs of other worktrees as starting points to
prevent data loss.
* "git add" needs to internally run "diff-files" equivalent, and the
codepath learned the same optimization as "diff-files" has to run
lstat(2) in parallel to find which paths have been updated in the
working tree.
* The procedure to install dependencies before testing at Travis CI
is getting revamped for both simplicity and flexibility, taking
advantage of the recent move to the vm-based environment.
* The support for format-patch (and send-email) by the command-line
completion script (in contrib/) has been simplified a bit.
* The revision walker machinery learned to take advantage of the
commit generation numbers stored in the commit-graph file.
* The codebase has been cleaned up to reduce "#ifndef NO_PTHREADS".
* The way -lcurl library gets linked has been simplified by taking
advantage of the fact that we can just ask curl-config command how.
* Various functions have been audited for "-Wunused-parameter" warnings
and bugs in them got fixed.
* A sanity check for start-up sequence has been added in the config
API codepath.
* The build procedure to link for fuzzing test has been made
customizable with a new Makefile variable.
* The way "git rebase" parses and forwards the command line options
meant for underlying "git am" has been revamped, which fixed for
options with parameters that were not passed correctly.
* Our testing framework uses a special i18n "poisoned localization"
feature to find messages that ought to stay constant but are
incorrectly marked to be translated. This feature has been made
into a runtime option (it used to be a compile-time option).
* "git push" used to check ambiguities between object-names and
refnames while processing the list of refs' old and new values,
which was unnecessary (as it knew that it is feeding raw object
names). This has been optimized out.
* The xcurl_off_t() helper function is used to cast size_t to
curl_off_t, but some compilers gave warnings against the code to
ensure the casting is done without wraparound, when size_t is
narrower than curl_off_t. This warning has been squelched.
* Code preparation to replace ulong vars with size_t vars where
appropriate continues.
* The "test installed Git" mode of our test suite has been updated to
work better.
* A coding convention around the Coccinelle semantic patches to have
two classes to ease code migration process has been proposed and
its support has been added to the Makefile.
* The "container" mode of TravisCI is going away. Our .travis.yml
file is getting prepared for the transition.
(merge 32ee384be8 ss/travis-ci-force-vm-mode later to maint).
* Our test scripts can now take the '-V' option as a synonym for the
'--verbose-log' option.
(merge a5f52c6dab sg/test-verbose-log later to maint).
Fixes since v2.19
-----------------
* "git interpret-trailers" and its underlying machinery had a buggy
code that attempted to ignore patch text after commit log message,
which triggered in various codepaths that will always get the log
message alone and never get such an input.
(merge 66e83d9b41 jk/trailer-fixes later to maint).
* Malformed or crafted data in packstream can make our code attempt
to read or write past the allocated buffer and abort, instead of
reporting an error, which has been fixed.
* "git rebase -i" did not clear the state files correctly when a run
of "squash/fixup" is aborted and then the user manually amended the
commit instead, which has been corrected.
(merge 10d2f35436 js/rebase-i-autosquash-fix later to maint).
* When fsmonitor is in use, after operation on submodules updates
.gitmodules, we lost track of the fact that we did so and relied on
stale fsmonitor data.
(merge 43f1180814 bp/mv-submodules-with-fsmonitor later to maint).
* Fix for a long-standing bug that leaves the index file corrupt when
it shrinks during a partial commit.
(merge 6c003d6ffb jk/reopen-tempfile-truncate later to maint).
* Further fix for O_APPEND emulation on Windows
(merge eeaf7ddac7 js/mingw-o-append later to maint).
* A corner case bugfix in "git rerere" code.
(merge ad2bf0d9b4 en/rerere-multi-stage-1-fix later to maint).
* "git add ':(attr:foo)'" is not supported and is supposed to be
rejected while the command line arguments are parsed, but we fail
to reject such a command line upfront.
(merge 84d938b732 nd/attr-pathspec-fix later to maint).
* Recent update broke the reachability algorithm when refs (e.g.
tags) that point at objects that are not commit were involved,
which has been fixed.
* "git rebase" etc. in Git 2.19 fails to abort when given an empty
commit log message as result of editing, which has been corrected.
(merge a3ec9eaf38 en/sequencer-empty-edit-result-aborts later to maint).
* The code to backfill objects in lazily cloned repository did not
work correctly, which has been corrected.
(merge e68302011c jt/lazy-object-fetch-fix later to maint).
* Update error messages given by "git remote" and make them consistent.
(merge 5025425dff ms/remote-error-message-update later to maint).
* "git update-ref" learned to make both "--no-deref" and "--stdin"
work at the same time.
(merge d345e9fbe7 en/update-ref-no-deref-stdin later to maint).
* Recently added "range-diff" had a corner-case bug to cause it
segfault, which has been corrected.
(merge e467a90c7a tg/range-diff-corner-case-fix later to maint).
* The recently introduced commit-graph auxiliary data is incompatible
with mechanisms such as replace & grafts that "breaks" immutable
nature of the object reference relationship. Disable optimizations
based on its use (and updating existing commit-graph) when these
incompatible features are in use in the repository.
(merge 829a321569 ds/commit-graph-with-grafts later to maint).
* The mailmap file update.
(merge 255eb03edf jn/mailmap-update later to maint).
* The code in "git status" sometimes hit an assertion failure. This
was caused by a structure that was reused without cleaning the data
used for the first run, which has been corrected.
(merge 3e73cc62c0 en/status-multiple-renames-to-the-same-target-fix later to maint).
* "git fetch $repo $object" in a partial clone did not correctly
fetch the asked-for object that is referenced by an object in
promisor packfile, which has been fixed.
* A corner-case bugfix.
(merge c5cbb27cb5 sm/show-superproject-while-conflicted later to maint).
* Various fixes to "diff --color-moved-ws".
* A partial clone that is configured to lazily fetch missing objects
will on-demand issue a "git fetch" request to the originating
repository to fill not-yet-obtained objects. The request has been
optimized for requesting a tree object (and not the leaf blob
objects contained in it) by telling the originating repository that
no blobs are needed.
(merge 4c7f9567ea jt/non-blob-lazy-fetch later to maint).
* The codepath to support the experimental split-index mode had
remaining "racily clean" issues fixed.
(merge 4c490f3d32 sg/split-index-racefix later to maint).
* "git log --graph" showing an octopus merge sometimes miscounted the
number of display columns it is consuming to show the merge and its
parent commits, which has been corrected.
(merge 04005834ed np/log-graph-octopus-fix later to maint).
* "git range-diff" did not work well when the compared ranges had
changes in submodules and the "--submodule=log" was used.
* The implementation of run_command() API on the UNIX platforms had a
bug that caused a command not on $PATH to be found in the current
directory.
(merge f67b980771 jk/run-command-notdot later to maint).
* A mutex used in "git pack-objects" were not correctly initialized
and this caused "git repack" to dump core on Windows.
(merge 34204c8166 js/pack-objects-mutex-init-fix later to maint).
* Under certain circumstances, "git diff D:/a/b/c D:/a/b/d" on
Windows would strip initial parts from the paths because they
were not recognized as absolute, which has been corrected.
(merge ffd04e92e2 js/diff-notice-has-drive-prefix later to maint).
* The receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead codepath kicked in even
when the push should have been rejected due to other reasons, such
as it does not fast-forward or the update-hook rejects it, which
has been corrected.
(merge b072a25fad jc/receive-deny-current-branch-fix later to maint).
* The logic to determine the archive type "git archive" uses did not
correctly kick in for "git archive --remote", which has been
corrected.
* "git repack" in a shallow clone did not correctly update the
shallow points in the repository, leading to a repository that
does not pass fsck.
(merge 5dcfbf564c js/shallow-and-fetch-prune later to maint).
* Some codepaths failed to form a proper URL when .gitmodules record
the URL to a submodule repository as relative to the repository of
superproject, which has been corrected.
(merge e0a862fdaf sb/submodule-url-to-absolute later to maint).
* "git fetch" over protocol v2 into a shallow repository failed to
fetch full history behind a new tip of history that was diverged
before the cut-off point of the history that was previously fetched
shallowly.
* The command line completion machinery (in contrib/) has been
updated to allow the completion script to tweak the list of options
that are reported by the parse-options machinery correctly.
(merge 276b49ff34 nd/completion-negation later to maint).
* Operations on promisor objects make sense in the context of only a
small subset of the commands that internally use the revisions
machinery, but the "--exclude-promisor-objects" option were taken
and led to nonsense results by commands like "log", to which it
didn't make much sense. This has been corrected.
(merge 669b1d2aae md/exclude-promisor-objects-fix later to maint).
* A regression in Git 2.12 era made "git fsck" fall into an infinite
loop while processing truncated loose objects.
(merge 18ad13e5b2 jk/detect-truncated-zlib-input later to maint).
* "git ls-remote $there foo" was broken by recent update for the
protocol v2 and stopped showing refs that match 'foo' that are not
refs/{heads,tags}/foo, which has been fixed.
(merge 6a139cdd74 jk/proto-v2-ref-prefix-fix later to maint).
* Additional comment on a tricky piece of code to help developers.
(merge 0afbe3e806 jk/stream-pack-non-delta-clarification later to maint).
* A couple of tests used to leave the repository in a state that is
deliberately corrupt, which have been corrected.
(merge aa984dbe5e ab/pack-tests-cleanup later to maint).
* The submodule support has been updated to read from the blob at
HEAD:.gitmodules when the .gitmodules file is missing from the
working tree.
(merge 2b1257e463 ao/submodule-wo-gitmodules-checked-out later to maint).
* "git fetch" was a bit loose in parsing responses from the other side
when talking over the protocol v2.
* "git rev-parse --exclude=* --branches --branches" (i.e. first
saying "add only things that do not match '*' out of all branches"
and then adding all branches, without any exclusion this time)
worked as expected, but "--exclude=* --all --all" did not work the
same way, which has been fixed.
(merge 5221048092 ag/rev-parse-all-exclude-fix later to maint).
* "git send-email --transfer-encoding=..." in recent versions of Git
sometimes produced an empty "Content-Transfer-Encoding:" header,
which has been corrected.
(merge 3c88e46f1a al/send-email-auto-cte-fixup later to maint).
* The interface into "xdiff" library used to discover the offset and
size of a generated patch hunk by first formatting it into the
textual hunk header "@@ -n,m +k,l @@" and then parsing the numbers
out. A new interface has been introduced to allow callers a more
direct access to them.
(merge 5eade0746e jk/xdiff-interface later to maint).
* Pathspec matching against a tree object were buggy when negative
pathspec elements were involved, which has been fixed.
(merge b7845cebc0 nd/tree-walk-path-exclusion later to maint).
* "git merge" and "git pull" that merges into an unborn branch used
to completely ignore "--verify-signatures", which has been
corrected.
(merge 01a31f3bca jk/verify-sig-merge-into-void later to maint).
* "git rebase --autostash" did not correctly re-attach the HEAD at times.
* "rev-parse --exclude=<pattern> --branches=<pattern>" etc. did not
quite work, which has been corrected.
(merge 9ab9b5df0e ra/rev-parse-exclude-glob later to maint).
* When editing a patch in a "git add -i" session, a hunk could be
made to no-op. The "git apply" program used to reject a patch with
such a no-op hunk to catch user mistakes, but it is now updated to
explicitly allow a no-op hunk in an edited patch.
(merge 22cb3835b9 js/apply-recount-allow-noop later to maint).
* The URL to an MSDN page in a comment has been updated.
(merge 2ef2ae2917 js/mingw-msdn-url later to maint).
* "git ls-remote --sort=<thing>" can feed an object that is not yet
available into the comparison machinery and segfault, which has
been corrected to check such a request upfront and reject it.
* When "git bundle" aborts due to an empty commit ranges
(i.e. resulting in an empty pack), it left a file descriptor to an
lockfile open, which resulted in leftover lockfile on Windows where
you cannot remove a file with an open file descriptor. This has
been corrected.
(merge 2c8ee1f53c jk/close-duped-fd-before-unlock-for-bundle later to maint).
* "git format-patch --stat=<width>" can be used to specify the width
used by the diffstat (shown in the cover letter).
(merge 284aeb7e60 nd/format-patch-cover-letter-stat-width later to maint).
* The way .git/index and .git/sharedindex* files were initially
created gave these files different perm bits until they were
adjusted for shared repository settings. This was made consistent.
(merge c9d6c78870 cc/shared-index-permbits later to maint).
* "git rebase --stat" to transplant a piece of history onto a totally
unrelated history were not working before and silently showed wrong
result. With the recent reimplementation in C, it started to instead
die with an error message, as the original logic was not prepared
to cope with this case. This has now been fixed.
* The advice message to tell the user to migrate an existing graft
file to the replace system when a graft file was read was shown
even when "git replace --convert-graft-file" command, which is the
way the message suggests to use, was running, which made little
sense.
(merge 8821e90a09 ab/replace-graft-with-replace-advice later to maint).
* "git diff --raw" lost ellipses to adjust the output columns for
some time now, but the documentation still showed them.
* Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

git: updated to 2.19.0
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.
* "git grep" learned the "--column" option that gives not just the
line number but the column number of the hit.
* The "-l" option in "git branch -l" is an unfortunate short-hand for
"--create-reflog", but many users, both old and new, somehow expect
it to be something else, perhaps "--list". This step warns when "-l"
is used as a short-hand for "--create-reflog" and warns about the
future repurposing of the it when it is used.
* The userdiff pattern for .php has been updated.
* The content-transfer-encoding of the message "git send-email" sends
out by default was 8bit, which can cause trouble when there is an
overlong line to bust RFC 5322/2822 limit. A new option 'auto' to
automatically switch to quoted-printable when there is such a line
in the payload has been introduced and is made the default.
* "git checkout" and "git worktree add" learned to honor
checkout.defaultRemote when auto-vivifying a local branch out of a
remote tracking branch in a repository with multiple remotes that
have tracking branches that share the same names.
(merge 8d7b558bae ab/checkout-default-remote later to maint).
* "git grep" learned the "--only-matching" option.
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" mode now handles octopus merges as
well.
* Add a server-side knob to skip commits in exponential/fibbonacci
stride in an attempt to cover wider swath of history with a smaller
number of iterations, potentially accepting a larger packfile
transfer, instead of going back one commit a time during common
ancestor discovery during the "git fetch" transaction.
(merge 42cc7485a2 jt/fetch-negotiator-skipping later to maint).
* A new configuration variable core.usereplacerefs has been added,
primarily to help server installations that want to ignore the
replace mechanism altogether.
* Teach "git tag -s" etc. a few configuration variables (gpg.format
that can be set to "openpgp" or "x509", and gpg.<format>.program
that is used to specify what program to use to deal with the format)
to allow x.509 certs with CMS via "gpgsm" to be used instead of
openpgp via "gnupg".
* Many more strings are prepared for l10n.
* "git p4 submit" learns to ask its own pre-submit hook if it should
continue with submitting.
* The test performed at the receiving end of "git push" to prevent
bad objects from entering repository can be customized via
receive.fsck.* configuration variables; we now have gained a
counterpart to do the same on the "git fetch" side, with
fetch.fsck.* configuration variables.
* "git pull --rebase=interactive" learned "i" as a short-hand for
"interactive".
* "git instaweb" has been adjusted to run better with newer Apache on
RedHat based distros.
* "git range-diff" is a reimplementation of "git tbdiff" that lets us
compare individual patches in two iterations of a topic.
* The sideband code learned to optionally paint selected keywords at
the beginning of incoming lines on the receiving end.
* "git branch --list" learned to take the default sort order from the
'branch.sort' configuration variable, just like "git tag --list"
pays attention to 'tag.sort'.
* "git worktree" command learned "--quiet" option to make it less
verbose.
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.
* Remove unused function definitions and declarations from ewah
bitmap subsystem.
* Code preparation to make "git p4" closer to be usable with Python 3.
* Tighten the API to make it harder to misuse in-tree .gitmodules
file, even though it shares the same syntax with configuration
files, to read random configuration items from it.
* "git fast-import" has been updated to avoid attempting to create
delta against a zero-byte-long string, which is pointless.
* The codebase has been updated to compile cleanly with -pedantic
option.
(merge 2b647a05d7 bb/pedantic later to maint).
* The character display width table has been updated to match the
latest Unicode standard.
(merge 570951eea2 bb/unicode-11-width later to maint).
* test-lint now looks for broken use of "VAR=VAL shell_func" in test
scripts.
* Conversion from uchar[40] to struct object_id continues.
* Recent "security fix" to pay attention to contents of ".gitmodules"
while accepting "git push" was a bit overly strict than necessary,
which has been adjusted.
* "git fsck" learns to make sure the optional commit-graph file is in
a sane state.
* "git diff --color-moved" feature has further been tweaked.
* Code restructuring and a small fix to transport protocol v2 during
fetching.
* Parsing of -L[<N>][,[<M>]] parameters "git blame" and "git log"
take has been tweaked.
* lookup_commit_reference() and friends have been updated to find
in-core object for a specific in-core repository instance.
* Various glitches in the heuristics of merge-recursive strategy have
been documented in new tests.
* "git fetch" learned a new option "--negotiation-tip" to limit the
set of commits it tells the other end as "have", to reduce wasted
bandwidth and cycles, which would be helpful when the receiving
repository has a lot of refs that have little to do with the
history at the remote it is fetching from.
* For a large tree, the index needs to hold many cache entries
allocated on heap. These cache entries are now allocated out of a
dedicated memory pool to amortize malloc(3) overhead.
* Tests to cover various conflicting cases have been added for
merge-recursive.
* Tests to cover conflict cases that involve submodules have been
added for merge-recursive.
* Look for broken "&&" chains that are hidden in subshell, many of
which have been found and corrected.
* The singleton commit-graph in-core instance is made per in-core
repository instance.
* "make DEVELOPER=1 DEVOPTS=pedantic" allows developers to compile
with -pedantic option, which may catch more problematic program
constructs and potential bugs.
* Preparatory code to later add json output for telemetry data has
been added.
* Update the way we use Coccinelle to find out-of-style code that
need to be modernised.
* It is too easy to misuse system API functions such as strcat();
these selected functions are now forbidden in this codebase and
will cause a compilation failure.
* Add a script (in contrib/) to help users of VSCode work better with
our codebase.
* The Travis CI scripts were taught to ship back the test data from
failed tests.
(merge aea8879a6a sg/travis-retrieve-trash-upon-failure later to maint).
* The parse-options machinery learned to refrain from enclosing
placeholder string inside a "<bra" and "ket>" pair automatically
without PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP. Existing help text for option
arguments that are not formatted correctly have been identified and
fixed.
(merge 5f0df44cd7 rs/parse-opt-lithelp later to maint).
* Noiseword "extern" has been removed from function decls in the
header files.
* A few atoms like %(objecttype) and %(objectsize) in the format
specifier of "for-each-ref --format=<format>" can be filled without
getting the full contents of the object, but just with the object
header. These cases have been optimized by calling
oid_object_info() API (instead of reading and inspecting the data).
* The end result of documentation update has been made to be
inspected more easily to help developers.
* The API to iterate over all objects learned to optionally list
objects in the order they appear in packfiles, which helps locality
of access if the caller accesses these objects while as objects are
enumerated.
* Improve built-in facility to catch broken &&-chain in the tests.
* The more library-ish parts of the codebase learned to work on the
in-core index-state instance that is passed in by their callers,
instead of always working on the singleton "the_index" instance.
* A test prerequisite defined by various test scripts with slightly
different semantics has been consolidated into a single copy and
made into a lazily defined one.
(merge 6ec633059a wc/make-funnynames-shared-lazy-prereq later to maint).
* After a partial clone, repeated fetches from promisor remote would
have accumulated many packfiles marked with .promisor bit without
getting them coalesced into fewer packfiles, hurting performance.
"git repack" now learned to repack them.
* Partially revert the support for multiple hash functions to regain
hash comparison performance; we'd think of a way to do this better
in the next cycle.
* "git help --config" (which is used in command line completion)
missed the configuration variables not described in the main
config.txt file but are described in another file that is included
by it, which has been corrected.
* The test linter code has learned that the end of here-doc mark
"EOF" can be quoted in a double-quote pair, not just in a
single-quote pair.

git: updated to 2.20.0
Git 2.20 Release Notes
======================
Backward Compatibility Notes
----------------------------
* "git branch -l <foo>" used to be a way to ask a reflog to be
created while creating a new branch, but that is no longer the
case. It is a short-hand for "git branch --list <foo>" now.
* "git push" into refs/tags/* hierarchy is rejected without getting
forced, but "git fetch" (misguidedly) used the "fast forwarding"
rule used for the refs/heads/* hierarchy; this has been corrected,
which means some fetches of tags that did not fail with older
version of Git will fail without "--force" with this version.
* "git help -a" now gives verbose output (same as "git help -av").
Those who want the old output may say "git help --no-verbose -a"..
* "git cpn --help", when "cpn" is an alias to, say, "cherry-pick -n",
reported only the alias expansion of "cpn" in earlier versions of
Git. It now runs "git cherry-pick --help" to show the manual page
of the command, while sending the alias expansion to the standard
error stream.
* "git send-email" learned to grab address-looking string on any
trailer whose name ends with "-by". This is a backward-incompatible
change. Adding "--suppress-cc=misc-by" on the command line, or
setting sendemail.suppresscc configuration variable to "misc-by",
can be used to disable this behaviour.
Updates since v2.19
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Running "git clone" against a project that contain two files with
pathnames that differ only in cases on a case insensitive
filesystem would result in one of the files lost because the
underlying filesystem is incapable of holding both at the same
time. An attempt is made to detect such a case and warn.
* "git checkout -b newbranch [HEAD]" should not have to do as much as
checking out a commit different from HEAD. An attempt is made to
optimize this special case.
* "git rev-list --stdin </dev/null" used to be an error; it now shows
no output without an error. "git rev-list --stdin --default HEAD"
still falls back to the given default when nothing is given on the
standard input.
* Lift code from GitHub to restrict delta computation so that an
object that exists in one fork is not made into a delta against
another object that does not appear in the same forked repository.
* "git format-patch" learned new "--interdiff" and "--range-diff"
options to explain the difference between this version and the
previous attempt in the cover letter (or after the three-dashes as
a comment).
* "git mailinfo" used in "git am" learned to make a best-effort
recovery of a patch corrupted by MUA that sends text/plain with
format=flawed option.
(merge 3aa4d81f88 rs/mailinfo-format-flowed later to maint).
* The rules used by "git push" and "git fetch" to determine if a ref
can or cannot be updated were inconsistent; specifically, fetching
to update existing tags were allowed even though tags are supposed
to be unmoving anchoring points. "git fetch" was taught to forbid
updates to existing tags without the "--force" option.
* "git multi-pack-index" learned to detect corruption in the .midx
file it uses, and this feature has been integrated into "git fsck".
* Generation of (experimental) commit-graph files have so far been
fairly silent, even though it takes noticeable amount of time in a
meaningfully large repository. The users will now see progress
output.
* The minimum version of Windows supported by Windows port of Git is
now set to Vista.
* The completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete a handful of
options "git stash list" command takes.
* The completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git fetch
--multiple" only takes remote names as arguments and no refspecs.
* "git status" learns to show progress bar when refreshing the index
takes a long time.
(merge ae9af12287 nd/status-refresh-progress later to maint).
* "git help -a" and "git help -av" give different pieces of
information, and generally the "verbose" version is more friendly
to the new users. "git help -a" by default now uses the more
verbose output (with "--no-verbose", you can go back to the
original). Also "git help -av" now lists aliases and external
commands, which it did not used to.
* Unlike "grep", "git grep" by default recurses to the whole tree.
The command learned "git grep --recursive" option, so that "git
grep --no-recursive" can serve as a synonym to setting the
max-depth to 0.
* When pushing into a repository that borrows its objects from an
alternate object store, "git receive-pack" that responds to the
push request on the other side lists the tips of refs in the
alternate to reduce the amount of objects transferred. This
sometimes is detrimental when the number of refs in the alternate
is absurdly large, in which case the bandwidth saved in potentially
fewer objects transferred is wasted in excessively large ref
advertisement. The alternate refs that are advertised are now
configurable with a pair of configuration variables.
* "git cmd --help" when "cmd" is aliased used to only say "cmd is
aliased to ...". Now it shows that to the standard error stream
and runs "git $cmd --help" where $cmd is the first word of the
alias expansion.
* The documentation of "git gc" has been updated to mention that it
is no longer limited to "pruning away crufts" but also updates
ancillary files like commit-graph as a part of repository
optimization.
* "git p4 unshelve" improvements.
* The logic to select the default user name and e-mail on Windows has
been improved.
(merge 501afcb8b0 js/mingw-default-ident later to maint).
* The "rev-list --filter" feature learned to exclude all trees via
"tree:0" filter.
* "git send-email" learned to grab address-looking string on any
trailer whose name ends with "-by"; --suppress-cc=misc-by on the
command line, or setting sendemail.suppresscc configuration
variable to "misc-by", can be used to disable this behaviour.
* "git mergetool" learned to take the "--[no-]gui" option, just like
"git difftool" does.
* "git rebase -i" learned a new insn, 'break', that the user can
insert in the to-do list. Upon hitting it, the command returns
control back to the user.
* New "--pretty=format:" placeholders %GF and %GP that show the GPG
key fingerprints have been invented.
* On platforms with recent cURL library, http.sslBackend configuration
variable can be used to choose a different SSL backend at runtime.
The Windows port uses this mechanism to switch between OpenSSL and
Secure Channel while talking over the HTTPS protocol.
* "git send-email" learned to disable SMTP authentication via the
"--smtp-auth=none" option, even when the smtp username is given
(which turns the authentication on by default).
* A fourth class of configuration files (in addition to the
traditional "system wide", "per user in the $HOME directory" and
"per repository in the $GIT_DIR/config") has been introduced so
that different worktrees that share the same repository (hence the
same $GIT_DIR/config file) can use different customization.
* A pattern with '**' that does not have a slash on either side used
to be an invalid one, but the code now treats such double-asterisks
the same way as two normal asterisks that happen to be adjacent to
each other.
(merge e5bbe09e88 nd/wildmatch-double-asterisk later to maint).
* The "--no-patch" option, which can be used to get a high-level
overview without the actual line-by-line patch difference shown, of
the "range-diff" command was earlier broken, which has been
corrected.
* The recently merged "rebase in C" has an escape hatch to use the
scripted version when necessary, but it hasn't been documented,
which has been corrected.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Developer builds now use -Wunused-function compilation option.
* One of our CI tests to run with "unusual/experimental/random"
settings now also uses commit-graph and midx.
* When there are too many packfiles in a repository (which is not
recommended), looking up an object in these would require
consulting many pack .idx files; a new mechanism to have a single
file that consolidates all of these .idx files is introduced.
* "git submodule update" is getting rewritten piece-by-piece into C.
* The code for computing history reachability has been shuffled,
obtained a bunch of new tests to cover them, and then being
improved.
* The unpack_trees() API used in checking out a branch and merging
walks one or more trees along with the index. When the cache-tree
in the index tells us that we are walking a tree whose flattened
contents is known (i.e. matches a span in the index), as linearly
scanning a span in the index is much more efficient than having to
open tree objects recursively and listing their entries, the walk
can be optimized, which has been done.
* When creating a thin pack, which allows objects to be made into a
delta against another object that is not in the resulting pack but
is known to be present on the receiving end, the code learned to
take advantage of the reachability bitmap; this allows the server
to send a delta against a base beyond the "boundary" commit.
* spatch transformation to replace boolean uses of !hashcmp() to
newly introduced oideq() is added, and applied, to regain
performance lost due to support of multiple hash algorithms.
* Fix a bug in which the same path could be registered under multiple
worktree entries if the path was missing (for instance, was removed
manually). Also, as a convenience, expand the number of cases in
which --force is applicable.
* Split Documentation/config.txt for easier maintenance.
(merge 6014363f0b nd/config-split later to maint).
* Test helper binaries clean-up.
(merge c9a1f4161f nd/test-tool later to maint).
* Various tests have been updated to make it easier to swap the
hash function used for object identification.
(merge ae0c89d41b bc/hash-independent-tests later to maint).
* Update fsck.skipList implementation and documentation.
(merge 371a655074 ab/fsck-skiplist later to maint).
* An alias that expands to another alias has so far been forbidden,
but now it is allowed to create such an alias.
* Various test scripts have been updated for style and also correct
handling of exit status of various commands.
* "gc --auto" ended up calling exit(-1) upon error, which has been
corrected to use exit(1). Also the error reporting behaviour when
daemonized has been updated to exit with zero status when stopping
due to a previously discovered error (which implies there is no
point running gc to improve the situation); we used to exit with
failure in such a case.
* Various codepaths in the core-ish part learned to work on an
arbitrary in-core index structure, not necessarily the default
instance "the_index".
(merge b3c7eef9b0 nd/the-index later to maint).
* Code clean-up in the internal machinery used by "git status" and
"git commit --dry-run".
(merge 73ba5d78b4 ss/wt-status-committable later to maint).
* Some environment variables that control the runtime options of Git
used during tests are getting renamed for consistency.
(merge 4231d1ba99 bp/rename-test-env-var later to maint).
* A pair of new extensions to the index file have been introduced.
They allow the index file to be read in parallel for performance.
* The oidset API was built on top of the oidmap API which in turn is
on the hashmap API. Replace the implementation to build on top of
the khash API and gain performance.
* Over some transports, fetching objects with an exact commit object
name can be done without first seeing the ref advertisements. The
code has been optimized to exploit this.
* In a partial clone that will lazily be hydrated from the
originating repository, we generally want to avoid "does this
object exist (locally)?" on objects that we deliberately omitted
when we created the clone. The cache-tree codepath (which is used
to write a tree object out of the index) however insisted that the
object exists, even for paths that are outside of the partial
checkout area. The code has been updated to avoid such a check.
* To help developers, an EditorConfig file that attempts to follow
the project convention has been added.
(merge b548d698a0 bc/editorconfig later to maint).
* The result of coverage test can be combined with "git blame" to
check the test coverage of code introduced recently with a new
'coverage-diff' tool (in contrib/).
(merge 783faedd65 ds/coverage-diff later to maint).
* An experiment to fuzz test a few areas, hopefully we can gain more
coverage to various areas.
* More codepaths are moving away from hardcoded hash sizes.
* The way the Windows port figures out the current directory has been
improved.
* The way DLLs are loaded on the Windows port has been improved.
* Some tests have been reorganized and renamed; "ls t/" now gives a
better overview of what is tested for these scripts than before.
* "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" have been reimplemented in C.
* Windows port learned to use nano-second resolution file timestamps.
* The overly large Documentation/config.txt file have been split into
million little pieces. This potentially allows each individual piece
to be included into the manual page of the command it affects more easily.
* Replace three string-list instances used as look-up tables in "git
fetch" with hashmaps.
* Unify code to read the author-script used in "git am" and the
commands that use the sequencer machinery, e.g. "git rebase -i".
* In preparation to the day when we can deprecate and remove the
"rebase -p", make sure we can skip and later remove tests for
it.
* The history traversal used to implement the tag-following has been
optimized by introducing a new helper.
* The helper function to refresh the cached stat information in the
in-core index has learned to perform the lstat() part of the
operation in parallel on multi-core platforms.
* The code to traverse objects for reachability, used to decide what
objects are unreferenced and expendable, have been taught to also
consider per-worktree refs of other worktrees as starting points to
prevent data loss.
* "git add" needs to internally run "diff-files" equivalent, and the
codepath learned the same optimization as "diff-files" has to run
lstat(2) in parallel to find which paths have been updated in the
working tree.
* The procedure to install dependencies before testing at Travis CI
is getting revamped for both simplicity and flexibility, taking
advantage of the recent move to the vm-based environment.
* The support for format-patch (and send-email) by the command-line
completion script (in contrib/) has been simplified a bit.
* The revision walker machinery learned to take advantage of the
commit generation numbers stored in the commit-graph file.
* The codebase has been cleaned up to reduce "#ifndef NO_PTHREADS".
* The way -lcurl library gets linked has been simplified by taking
advantage of the fact that we can just ask curl-config command how.
* Various functions have been audited for "-Wunused-parameter" warnings
and bugs in them got fixed.
* A sanity check for start-up sequence has been added in the config
API codepath.
* The build procedure to link for fuzzing test has been made
customizable with a new Makefile variable.
* The way "git rebase" parses and forwards the command line options
meant for underlying "git am" has been revamped, which fixed for
options with parameters that were not passed correctly.
* Our testing framework uses a special i18n "poisoned localization"
feature to find messages that ought to stay constant but are
incorrectly marked to be translated. This feature has been made
into a runtime option (it used to be a compile-time option).
* "git push" used to check ambiguities between object-names and
refnames while processing the list of refs' old and new values,
which was unnecessary (as it knew that it is feeding raw object
names). This has been optimized out.
* The xcurl_off_t() helper function is used to cast size_t to
curl_off_t, but some compilers gave warnings against the code to
ensure the casting is done without wraparound, when size_t is
narrower than curl_off_t. This warning has been squelched.
* Code preparation to replace ulong vars with size_t vars where
appropriate continues.
* The "test installed Git" mode of our test suite has been updated to
work better.
* A coding convention around the Coccinelle semantic patches to have
two classes to ease code migration process has been proposed and
its support has been added to the Makefile.
* The "container" mode of TravisCI is going away. Our .travis.yml
file is getting prepared for the transition.
(merge 32ee384be8 ss/travis-ci-force-vm-mode later to maint).
* Our test scripts can now take the '-V' option as a synonym for the
'--verbose-log' option.
(merge a5f52c6dab sg/test-verbose-log later to maint).
Fixes since v2.19
-----------------
* "git interpret-trailers" and its underlying machinery had a buggy
code that attempted to ignore patch text after commit log message,
which triggered in various codepaths that will always get the log
message alone and never get such an input.
(merge 66e83d9b41 jk/trailer-fixes later to maint).
* Malformed or crafted data in packstream can make our code attempt
to read or write past the allocated buffer and abort, instead of
reporting an error, which has been fixed.
* "git rebase -i" did not clear the state files correctly when a run
of "squash/fixup" is aborted and then the user manually amended the
commit instead, which has been corrected.
(merge 10d2f35436 js/rebase-i-autosquash-fix later to maint).
* When fsmonitor is in use, after operation on submodules updates
.gitmodules, we lost track of the fact that we did so and relied on
stale fsmonitor data.
(merge 43f1180814 bp/mv-submodules-with-fsmonitor later to maint).
* Fix for a long-standing bug that leaves the index file corrupt when
it shrinks during a partial commit.
(merge 6c003d6ffb jk/reopen-tempfile-truncate later to maint).
* Further fix for O_APPEND emulation on Windows
(merge eeaf7ddac7 js/mingw-o-append later to maint).
* A corner case bugfix in "git rerere" code.
(merge ad2bf0d9b4 en/rerere-multi-stage-1-fix later to maint).
* "git add ':(attr:foo)'" is not supported and is supposed to be
rejected while the command line arguments are parsed, but we fail
to reject such a command line upfront.
(merge 84d938b732 nd/attr-pathspec-fix later to maint).
* Recent update broke the reachability algorithm when refs (e.g.
tags) that point at objects that are not commit were involved,
which has been fixed.
* "git rebase" etc. in Git 2.19 fails to abort when given an empty
commit log message as result of editing, which has been corrected.
(merge a3ec9eaf38 en/sequencer-empty-edit-result-aborts later to maint).
* The code to backfill objects in lazily cloned repository did not
work correctly, which has been corrected.
(merge e68302011c jt/lazy-object-fetch-fix later to maint).
* Update error messages given by "git remote" and make them consistent.
(merge 5025425dff ms/remote-error-message-update later to maint).
* "git update-ref" learned to make both "--no-deref" and "--stdin"
work at the same time.
(merge d345e9fbe7 en/update-ref-no-deref-stdin later to maint).
* Recently added "range-diff" had a corner-case bug to cause it
segfault, which has been corrected.
(merge e467a90c7a tg/range-diff-corner-case-fix later to maint).
* The recently introduced commit-graph auxiliary data is incompatible
with mechanisms such as replace & grafts that "breaks" immutable
nature of the object reference relationship. Disable optimizations
based on its use (and updating existing commit-graph) when these
incompatible features are in use in the repository.
(merge 829a321569 ds/commit-graph-with-grafts later to maint).
* The mailmap file update.
(merge 255eb03edf jn/mailmap-update later to maint).
* The code in "git status" sometimes hit an assertion failure. This
was caused by a structure that was reused without cleaning the data
used for the first run, which has been corrected.
(merge 3e73cc62c0 en/status-multiple-renames-to-the-same-target-fix later to maint).
* "git fetch $repo $object" in a partial clone did not correctly
fetch the asked-for object that is referenced by an object in
promisor packfile, which has been fixed.
* A corner-case bugfix.
(merge c5cbb27cb5 sm/show-superproject-while-conflicted later to maint).
* Various fixes to "diff --color-moved-ws".
* A partial clone that is configured to lazily fetch missing objects
will on-demand issue a "git fetch" request to the originating
repository to fill not-yet-obtained objects. The request has been
optimized for requesting a tree object (and not the leaf blob
objects contained in it) by telling the originating repository that
no blobs are needed.
(merge 4c7f9567ea jt/non-blob-lazy-fetch later to maint).
* The codepath to support the experimental split-index mode had
remaining "racily clean" issues fixed.
(merge 4c490f3d32 sg/split-index-racefix later to maint).
* "git log --graph" showing an octopus merge sometimes miscounted the
number of display columns it is consuming to show the merge and its
parent commits, which has been corrected.
(merge 04005834ed np/log-graph-octopus-fix later to maint).
* "git range-diff" did not work well when the compared ranges had
changes in submodules and the "--submodule=log" was used.
* The implementation of run_command() API on the UNIX platforms had a
bug that caused a command not on $PATH to be found in the current
directory.
(merge f67b980771 jk/run-command-notdot later to maint).
* A mutex used in "git pack-objects" were not correctly initialized
and this caused "git repack" to dump core on Windows.
(merge 34204c8166 js/pack-objects-mutex-init-fix later to maint).
* Under certain circumstances, "git diff D:/a/b/c D:/a/b/d" on
Windows would strip initial parts from the paths because they
were not recognized as absolute, which has been corrected.
(merge ffd04e92e2 js/diff-notice-has-drive-prefix later to maint).
* The receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead codepath kicked in even
when the push should have been rejected due to other reasons, such
as it does not fast-forward or the update-hook rejects it, which
has been corrected.
(merge b072a25fad jc/receive-deny-current-branch-fix later to maint).
* The logic to determine the archive type "git archive" uses did not
correctly kick in for "git archive --remote", which has been
corrected.
* "git repack" in a shallow clone did not correctly update the
shallow points in the repository, leading to a repository that
does not pass fsck.
(merge 5dcfbf564c js/shallow-and-fetch-prune later to maint).
* Some codepaths failed to form a proper URL when .gitmodules record
the URL to a submodule repository as relative to the repository of
superproject, which has been corrected.
(merge e0a862fdaf sb/submodule-url-to-absolute later to maint).
* "git fetch" over protocol v2 into a shallow repository failed to
fetch full history behind a new tip of history that was diverged
before the cut-off point of the history that was previously fetched
shallowly.
* The command line completion machinery (in contrib/) has been
updated to allow the completion script to tweak the list of options
that are reported by the parse-options machinery correctly.
(merge 276b49ff34 nd/completion-negation later to maint).
* Operations on promisor objects make sense in the context of only a
small subset of the commands that internally use the revisions
machinery, but the "--exclude-promisor-objects" option were taken
and led to nonsense results by commands like "log", to which it
didn't make much sense. This has been corrected.
(merge 669b1d2aae md/exclude-promisor-objects-fix later to maint).
* A regression in Git 2.12 era made "git fsck" fall into an infinite
loop while processing truncated loose objects.
(merge 18ad13e5b2 jk/detect-truncated-zlib-input later to maint).
* "git ls-remote $there foo" was broken by recent update for the
protocol v2 and stopped showing refs that match 'foo' that are not
refs/{heads,tags}/foo, which has been fixed.
(merge 6a139cdd74 jk/proto-v2-ref-prefix-fix later to maint).
* Additional comment on a tricky piece of code to help developers.
(merge 0afbe3e806 jk/stream-pack-non-delta-clarification later to maint).
* A couple of tests used to leave the repository in a state that is
deliberately corrupt, which have been corrected.
(merge aa984dbe5e ab/pack-tests-cleanup later to maint).
* The submodule support has been updated to read from the blob at
HEAD:.gitmodules when the .gitmodules file is missing from the
working tree.
(merge 2b1257e463 ao/submodule-wo-gitmodules-checked-out later to maint).
* "git fetch" was a bit loose in parsing responses from the other side
when talking over the protocol v2.
* "git rev-parse --exclude=* --branches --branches" (i.e. first
saying "add only things that do not match '*' out of all branches"
and then adding all branches, without any exclusion this time)
worked as expected, but "--exclude=* --all --all" did not work the
same way, which has been fixed.
(merge 5221048092 ag/rev-parse-all-exclude-fix later to maint).
* "git send-email --transfer-encoding=..." in recent versions of Git
sometimes produced an empty "Content-Transfer-Encoding:" header,
which has been corrected.
(merge 3c88e46f1a al/send-email-auto-cte-fixup later to maint).
* The interface into "xdiff" library used to discover the offset and
size of a generated patch hunk by first formatting it into the
textual hunk header "@@ -n,m +k,l @@" and then parsing the numbers
out. A new interface has been introduced to allow callers a more
direct access to them.
(merge 5eade0746e jk/xdiff-interface later to maint).
* Pathspec matching against a tree object were buggy when negative
pathspec elements were involved, which has been fixed.
(merge b7845cebc0 nd/tree-walk-path-exclusion later to maint).
* "git merge" and "git pull" that merges into an unborn branch used
to completely ignore "--verify-signatures", which has been
corrected.
(merge 01a31f3bca jk/verify-sig-merge-into-void later to maint).
* "git rebase --autostash" did not correctly re-attach the HEAD at times.
* "rev-parse --exclude=<pattern> --branches=<pattern>" etc. did not
quite work, which has been corrected.
(merge 9ab9b5df0e ra/rev-parse-exclude-glob later to maint).
* When editing a patch in a "git add -i" session, a hunk could be
made to no-op. The "git apply" program used to reject a patch with
such a no-op hunk to catch user mistakes, but it is now updated to
explicitly allow a no-op hunk in an edited patch.
(merge 22cb3835b9 js/apply-recount-allow-noop later to maint).
* The URL to an MSDN page in a comment has been updated.
(merge 2ef2ae2917 js/mingw-msdn-url later to maint).
* "git ls-remote --sort=<thing>" can feed an object that is not yet
available into the comparison machinery and segfault, which has
been corrected to check such a request upfront and reject it.
* When "git bundle" aborts due to an empty commit ranges
(i.e. resulting in an empty pack), it left a file descriptor to an
lockfile open, which resulted in leftover lockfile on Windows where
you cannot remove a file with an open file descriptor. This has
been corrected.
(merge 2c8ee1f53c jk/close-duped-fd-before-unlock-for-bundle later to maint).
* "git format-patch --stat=<width>" can be used to specify the width
used by the diffstat (shown in the cover letter).
(merge 284aeb7e60 nd/format-patch-cover-letter-stat-width later to maint).
* The way .git/index and .git/sharedindex* files were initially
created gave these files different perm bits until they were
adjusted for shared repository settings. This was made consistent.
(merge c9d6c78870 cc/shared-index-permbits later to maint).
* "git rebase --stat" to transplant a piece of history onto a totally
unrelated history were not working before and silently showed wrong
result. With the recent reimplementation in C, it started to instead
die with an error message, as the original logic was not prepared
to cope with this case. This has now been fixed.
* The advice message to tell the user to migrate an existing graft
file to the replace system when a graft file was read was shown
even when "git replace --convert-graft-file" command, which is the
way the message suggests to use, was running, which made little
sense.
(merge 8821e90a09 ab/replace-graft-with-replace-advice later to maint).
* "git diff --raw" lost ellipses to adjust the output columns for
some time now, but the documentation still showed them.
* Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

git: updated to 2.23.0
Git 2.23 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.22
-------------------
Backward compatibility note
* The "--base" option of "format-patch" computed the patch-ids for
prerequisite patches in an unstable way, which has been updated to
compute in a way that is compatible with "git patch-id --stable".
* The "git log" command by default behaves as if the --mailmap option
was given.
UI, Workflows & Features
* The "git fast-export/import" pair has been taught to handle commits
with log messages in encoding other than UTF-8 better.
* In recent versions of Git, per-worktree refs are exposed in
refs/worktrees/<wtname>/ hierarchy, which means that worktree names
must be a valid refname component. The code now sanitizes the names
given to worktrees, to make sure these refs are well-formed.
* "git merge" learned "--quit" option that cleans up the in-progress
merge while leaving the working tree and the index still in a mess.
* "git format-patch" learns a configuration to set the default for
its --notes=<ref> option.
* The code to show args with potential typo that cannot be
interpreted as a commit-ish has been improved.
* "git clone --recurse-submodules" learned to set up the submodules
to ignore commit object names recorded in the superproject gitlink
and instead use the commits that happen to be at the tip of the
remote-tracking branches from the get-go, by passing the new
"--remote-submodules" option.
* The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
boundary for Matlab has been extend to cover Octave, which is more
or less equivalent.
* "git help git" was hard to discover (well, at least for some
people).
* The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
boundary for Rust has been added.
* "git status" can be told a non-standard default value for the
"--[no-]ahead-behind" option with a new configuration variable
status.aheadBehind.
* "git fetch" and "git pull" reports when a fetch results in
non-fast-forward updates to let the user notice unusual situation.
The commands learned "--no-show-forced-updates" option to disable
this safety feature.
* Two new commands "git switch" and "git restore" are introduced to
split "checking out a branch to work on advancing its history" and
"checking out paths out of the index and/or a tree-ish to work on
advancing the current history" out of the single "git checkout"
command.
* "git branch --list" learned to always output the detached HEAD as
the first item (when the HEAD is detached, of course), regardless
of the locale.
* The conditional inclusion mechanism learned to base the choice on
the branch the HEAD currently is on.
* "git rev-list --objects" learned the "--no-object-names" option to
squelch the path to the object that is used as a grouping hint for
pack-objects.
* A new tag.gpgSign configuration variable turns "git tag -a" into
"git tag -s".
* "git multi-pack-index" learned expire and repack subcommands.
* "git blame" learned to "ignore" commits in the history, whose
effects (as well as their presence) get ignored.
* "git cherry-pick/revert" learned a new "--skip" action.
* The tips of refs from the alternate object store can be used as
starting point for reachability computation now.
* Extra blank lines in "git status" output have been reduced.
* The commits in a repository can be described by multiple
commit-graph files now, which allows the commit-graph files to be
updated incrementally.
* "git range-diff" output has been tweaked for easier identification
of which part of what file the patch shown is about.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Update supporting parts of "git rebase" to remove code that should
no longer be used.
* Developer support to emulate unsatisfied prerequisites in tests to
ensure that the remainder of the tests still succeeds when tests
with prerequisites are skipped.
* "git update-server-info" learned not to rewrite the file with the
same contents.
* The way of specifying the path to find dynamic libraries at runtime
has been simplified. The old default to pass -R/path/to/dir has been
replaced with the new default to pass -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/dir,
which is the more recent GCC uses. Those who need to build with an
old GCC can still use "CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R"
* Prepare use of reachability index in topological walker that works
on a range (A..B).
* A new tutorial targeting specifically aspiring git-core
developers has been added.
* Auto-detect how to tell HP-UX aCC where to use dynamically linked
libraries from at runtime.
* "git mergetool" and its tests now spawn fewer subprocesses.
* Dev support update to help tracing out tests.
* Support to build with MSVC has been updated.
* "git fetch" that grabs from a group of remotes learned to run the
auto-gc only once at the very end.
* A handful of Windows build patches have been upstreamed.
* The code to read state files used by the sequencer machinery for
"git status" has been made more robust against a corrupt or stale
state files.
* "git for-each-ref" with multiple patterns have been optimized.
* The tree-walk API learned to pass an in-core repository
instance throughout more codepaths.
* When one step in multi step cherry-pick or revert is reset or
committed, the command line prompt script failed to notice the
current status, which has been improved.
* Many GIT_TEST_* environment variables control various aspects of
how our tests are run, but a few followed "non-empty is true, empty
or unset is false" while others followed the usual "there are a few
ways to spell true, like yes, on, etc., and also ways to spell
false, like no, off, etc." convention.
* Adjust the dir-iterator API and apply it to the local clone
optimization codepath.
* We have been trying out a few language features outside c89; the
coding guidelines document did not talk about them and instead had
a blanket ban against them.
* A test helper has been introduced to optimize preparation of test
repositories with many simple commits, and a handful of test
scripts have been updated to use it.
Fixes since v2.22
-----------------
* A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>"
ought to be relative to the directory "git init" gets invoked in,
but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been
corrected.
* "git worktree add" used to fail when another worktree connected to
the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected.
* The ownership rule for the file descriptor to fast-import remote
backend was mixed up, leading to an unrelated file descriptor getting
closed, which has been fixed.
* A "merge -c" instruction during "git rebase --rebase-merges" should
give the user a chance to edit the log message, even when there is
otherwise no need to create a new merge and replace the existing
one (i.e. fast-forward instead), but did not. Which has been
corrected.
* Code cleanup and futureproof.
* More parameter validation.
* "git update-server-info" used to leave stale packfiles in its
output, which has been corrected.
* The server side support for "git fetch" used to show incorrect
value for the HEAD symbolic ref when the namespace feature is in
use, which has been corrected.
* "git am -i --resolved" segfaulted after trying to see a commit as
if it were a tree, which has been corrected.
* "git bundle verify" needs to see if prerequisite objects exist in
the receiving repository, but the command did not check if we are
in a repository upfront, which has been corrected.
* "git merge --squash" is designed to update the working tree and the
index without creating the commit, and this cannot be countermanded
by adding the "--commit" option; the command now refuses to work
when both options are given.
* The data collected by fsmonitor was not properly written back to
the on-disk index file, breaking t7519 tests occasionally, which
has been corrected.
* Update to Unicode 12.1 width table.
* The command line to invoke a "git cat-file" command from inside
"git p4" was not properly quoted to protect a caret and running a
broken command on Windows, which has been corrected.
* "git request-pull" learned to warn when the ref we ask them to pull
from in the local repository and in the published repository are
different.
* When creating a partial clone, the object filtering criteria is
recorded for the origin of the clone, but this incorrectly used a
hardcoded name "origin" to name that remote; it has been corrected
to honor the "--origin <name>" option.
* "git fetch" into a lazy clone forgot to fetch base objects that are
necessary to complete delta in a thin packfile, which has been
corrected.
* The filter_data used in the list-objects-filter (which manages a
lazily sparse clone repository) did not use the dynamic array API
correctly---'nr' is supposed to point at one past the last element
of the array in use. This has been corrected.
* The description about slashes in gitignore patterns (used to
indicate things like "anchored to this level only" and "only
matches directories") has been revamped.
* The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end
of the string while parsing %-<hex>-<hex> sequence.
* The list of for-each like macros used by clang-format has been
updated.
* "git branch --list" learned to show branches that are checked out
in other worktrees connected to the same repository prefixed with
'+', similar to the way the currently checked out branch is shown
with '*' in front.
(merge 6e9381469e nb/branch-show-other-worktrees-head later to maint).
* Code restructuring during 2.20 period broke fetching tags via
"import" based transports.
* The commit-graph file is now part of the "files that the runtime
may keep open file descriptors on, all of which would need to be
closed when done with the object store", and the file descriptor to
an existing commit-graph file now is closed before "gc" finalizes a
new instance to replace it.
* "git checkout -p" needs to selectively apply a patch in reverse,
which did not work well.
* Code clean-up to avoid signed integer wraparounds during binary search.
* "git interpret-trailers" always treated '#' as the comment
character, regardless of core.commentChar setting, which has been
corrected.
* "git stash show 23" used to work, but no more after getting
rewritten in C; this regression has been corrected.
* "git rebase --abort" used to leave refs/rewritten/ when concluding
"git rebase -r", which has been corrected.
* An incorrect list of options was cached after command line
completion failed (e.g. trying to complete a command that requires
a repository outside one), which has been corrected.
* The code to parse scaled numbers out of configuration files has
been made more robust and also easier to follow.
* The codepath to compute delta islands used to spew progress output
without giving the callers any way to squelch it, which has been
fixed.
* Protocol capabilities that go over wire should never be translated,
but it was incorrectly marked for translation, which has been
corrected. The output of protocol capabilities for debugging has
been tweaked a bit.
* Use "Erase in Line" CSI sequence that is already used in the editor
support to clear cruft in the progress output.
* "git submodule foreach" did not protect command line options passed
to the command to be run in each submodule correctly, when the
"--recursive" option was in use.
* The configuration variable rebase.rescheduleFailedExec should be
effective only while running an interactive rebase and should not
affect anything when running a non-interactive one, which was not
the case. This has been corrected.
* The "git clone" documentation refers to command line options in its
description in the short form; they have been replaced with long
forms to make them more recognisable.
* Generation of pack bitmaps are now disabled when .keep files exist,
as these are mutually exclusive features.
(merge 7328482253 ew/repack-with-bitmaps-by-default later to maint).
* "git rm" to resolve a conflicted path leaked an internal message
"needs merge" before actually removing the path, which was
confusing. This has been corrected.
* "git stash --keep-index" did not work correctly on paths that have
been removed, which has been fixed.
(merge b932f6a5e8 tg/stash-keep-index-with-removed-paths later to maint).
* Window 7 update ;-)
* A codepath that reads from GPG for signed object verification read
past the end of allocated buffer, which has been fixed.
* "git clean" silently skipped a path when it cannot lstat() it; now
it gives a warning.
* "git push --atomic" that goes over the transport-helper (namely,
the smart http transport) failed to prevent refs to be pushed when
it can locally tell that one of the ref update will fail without
having to consult the other end, which has been corrected.
* The internal diff machinery can be made to read out of bounds while
looking for --function-context line in a corner case, which has been
corrected.
(merge b777f3fd61 jk/xdiff-clamp-funcname-context-index later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge fbec05c210 cc/test-oidmap later to maint).
(merge 7a06fb038c jk/no-system-includes-in-dot-c later to maint).

git: updated to 2.25.0
Git 2.25 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.24
-------------------
Backward compatibility notes
UI, Workflows & Features
* A tutorial on object enumeration has been added.
* The branch description ("git branch --edit-description") has been
used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch
command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be
filled.
* "git rebase --preserve-merges" has been marked as deprecated; this
release stops advertising it in the "git rebase -h" output.
* The code to generate multi-pack index learned to show (or not to
show) progress indicators.
* "git apply --3way" learned to honor merge.conflictStyle
configuration variable, like merges would.
* The custom format for "git log --format=<format>" learned the l/L
placeholder that is similar to e/E that fills in the e-mail
address, but only the local part on the left side of '@'.
* Documentation pages for "git shortlog" now list commit limiting
options explicitly.
* The patterns to detect function boundary for Elixir language has
been added.
* The completion script (in contrib/) learned that the "--onto"
option of "git rebase" can take its argument as the value of the
option.
* The userdiff machinery has been taught that "async def" is another
way to begin a "function" in Python.
* "git range-diff" learned to take the "--notes=<ref>" and the
"--no-notes" options to control the commit notes included in the
log message that gets compared.
* "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" run outside of any working tree did
not error out, which has been corrected.
* A few commands learned to take the pathspec from the standard input
or a named file, instead of taking it as the command line
arguments, with the "--pathspec-from-file" option.
* "git submodule" learned a subcommand "set-url".
* "git log" family learned "--pretty=reference" that gives the name
of a commit in the format that is often used to refer to it in log
messages.
* The interaction between "git clone --recurse-submodules" and
alternate object store was ill-designed. The documentation and
code have been taught to make more clear recommendations when the
users see failures.
* Management of sparsely checked-out working tree has gained a
dedicated "sparse-checkout" command.
* Miscellaneous small UX improvements on "git-p4".
* "git sparse-checkout list" subcommand learned to give its output in
a more concise form when the "cone" mode is in effect.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Debugging support for lazy cloning has been a bit improved.
* Move the definition of a set of bitmask constants from 0ctal
literal to (1U<<count) notation.
* Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues.
* Crufty code and logic accumulated over time around the object
parsing and low-level object access used in "git fsck" have been
cleaned up.
* The implementation of "git log --graph" got refactored and then its
output got simplified.
* Follow recent push to move API docs from Documentation/ to header
files and update config.h
* "git bundle" has been taught to use the parse options API. "git
bundle verify" learned "--quiet" and "git bundle create" learned
options to control the progress output.
* Handling of commit objects that use non UTF-8 encoding during
"rebase -i" has been improved.
* The beginning of rewriting "git add -i" in C.
* A label used in the todo list that are generated by "git rebase
--rebase-merges" is used as a part of a refname; the logic to come
up with the label has been tightened to avoid names that cannot be
used as such.
* The logic to avoid duplicate label names generated by "git rebase
--rebase-merges" forgot that the machinery itself uses "onto" as a
label name, which must be avoided by auto-generated labels, which
has been corrected.
* We have had compatibility fallback macro definitions for "PRIuMAX",
"PRIu32", etc. but did not for "PRIdMAX", while the code used the
last one apparently without any hiccup reported recently. The
fallback macro definitions for these <inttypes.h> macros that must
appear in C99 systems have been removed.
* Recently we have declared that GIT_TEST_* variables take the
usual boolean values (it used to be that some used "non-empty
means true" and taking GIT_TEST_VAR=YesPlease as true); make
sure we notice and fail when non-bool strings are given to
these variables.
* Users of oneway_merge() (like "reset --hard") learned to take
advantage of fsmonitor to avoid unnecessary lstat(2) calls.
* Performance tweak on "git push" into a repository with many refs
that point at objects we have never heard of.
* PerfTest fix to avoid stale result mixed up with the latest round
of test results.
* Hide lower-level verify_signed-buffer() API as a pure helper to
implement the public check_signature() function, in order to
encourage new callers to use the correct and more strict
validation.
* Unnecessary reading of state variables back from the disk during
sequencer operation has been reduced.
* The code has been made to avoid gmtime() and localtime() and prefer
their reentrant counterparts.
* In a repository with many packfiles, the cost of the procedure that
avoids registering the same packfile twice was unnecessarily high
by using an inefficient search algorithm, which has been corrected.
* Redo "git name-rev" to avoid recursive calls.
* FreeBSD CI support via Cirrus-CI has been added.
Fixes since v2.24
-----------------
* "rebase -i" ceased to run post-commit hook by mistake in an earlier
update, which has been corrected.
* "git notes copy $original" ought to copy the notes attached to the
original object to HEAD, but a mistaken tightening to command line
parameter validation made earlier disabled that feature by mistake.
* When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root
directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that
as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has
been corrected.
* Code clean-up and a bugfix in the logic used to tell worktree local
and repository global refs apart.
* "git stash save" in a working tree that is sparsely checked out
mistakenly removed paths that are outside the area of interest.
* "git rev-parse --git-path HEAD.lock" did not give the right path
when run in a secondary worktree.
* "git merge --no-commit" needs "--no-ff" if you do not want to move
HEAD, which has been corrected in the manual page for "git bisect".
* "git worktree add" internally calls "reset --hard" that should not
descend into submodules, even when submodule.recurse configuration
is set, but it was affected. This has been corrected.
* Messages from die() etc. can be mixed up from multiple processes
without even line buffering on Windows, which has been worked
around.
* HTTP transport had possible allocator/deallocator mismatch, which
has been corrected.
* The watchman integration for fsmonitor was racy, which has been
corrected to be more conservative.
* Fetching from multiple remotes into the same repository in parallel
had a bad interaction with the recent change to (optionally) update
the commit-graph after a fetch job finishes, as these parallel
fetches compete with each other. Which has been corrected.
* Recent update to "git stash pop" made the command empty the index
when run with the "--quiet" option, which has been corrected.
* "git fetch" codepath had a big "do not lazily fetch missing objects
when I ask if something exists" switch. This has been corrected by
marking the "does this thing exist?" calls with "if not please do not
lazily fetch it" flag.
* Test update to avoid wasted cycles.
* Error handling after "git push" finishes sending the packdata and
waits for the response to the remote side has been improved.
* Some codepaths in "gitweb" that forgot to escape URLs generated
based on end-user input have been corrected.
* CI jobs for macOS has been made less chatty when updating perforce
package used during testing.
* "git unpack-objects" used to show progress based only on the number
of received and unpacked objects, which stalled when it has to
handle an unusually large object. It now shows the throughput as
well.
* The sequencer machinery compared the HEAD and the state it is
attempting to commit to decide if the result would be a no-op
commit, even when amending a commit, which was incorrect, and
has been corrected.
* The code to parse GPG output used to assume incorrectly that the
finterprint for the primary key would always be present for a valid
signature, which has been corrected.
* "git submodule status" and "git submodule status --cached" show
different things, but the documentation did not cover them
correctly, which has been corrected.
* "git reset --patch $object" without any pathspec should allow a
tree object to be given, but incorrectly required a committish,
which has been corrected.
* "git submodule status" that is run from a subdirectory of the
superproject did not work well, which has been corrected.
* The revision walking machinery uses resources like per-object flag
bits that need to be reset before a new iteration of walking
begins, but the resources related to topological walk were not
cleared correctly, which has been corrected.
* TravisCI update.
* While running "revert" or "cherry-pick --edit" for multiple
commits, a recent regression incorrectly detected "nothing to
commit, working tree clean", instead of replaying the commits,
which has been corrected.
* Work around a issue where a FD that is left open when spawning a
child process and is kept open in the child can interfere with the
operation in the parent process on Windows.
* One kind of progress messages were always given during commit-graph
generation, instead of following the "if it takes more than two
seconds, show progress" pattern, which has been corrected.
* "git rebase" did not work well when format.useAutoBase
configuration variable is set, which has been corrected.
* The "diff" machinery learned not to lose added/removed blank lines
in the context when --ignore-blank-lines and --function-context are
used at the same time.
* The test on "fast-import" used to get stuck when "fast-import" died
in the middle.
* "git format-patch" can take a set of configured format.notes values
to specify which notes refs to use in the log message part of the
output. The behaviour of this was not consistent with multiple
--notes command line options, which has been corrected.
* "git p4" used to ignore lfs.storage configuration variable, which
has been corrected.
* Assorted fixes to the directory traversal API.
* Forbid pathnames that the platform's filesystem cannot represent on
MinGW.
* "git rebase --signoff" stopped working when the command was written
in C, which has been corrected.
* An earlier update to Git for Windows declared that a tree object is
invalid if it has a path component with backslash in it, which was
overly strict, which has been corrected. The only protection the
Windows users need is to prevent such path (or any path that their
filesystem cannot check out) from entering the index.
* The code to write split commit-graph file(s) upon fetching computed
bogus value for the parameter used in splitting the resulting
files, which has been corrected.
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

git: updated to 2.23.0
Git 2.23 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.22
-------------------
Backward compatibility note
* The "--base" option of "format-patch" computed the patch-ids for
prerequisite patches in an unstable way, which has been updated to
compute in a way that is compatible with "git patch-id --stable".
* The "git log" command by default behaves as if the --mailmap option
was given.
UI, Workflows & Features
* The "git fast-export/import" pair has been taught to handle commits
with log messages in encoding other than UTF-8 better.
* In recent versions of Git, per-worktree refs are exposed in
refs/worktrees/<wtname>/ hierarchy, which means that worktree names
must be a valid refname component. The code now sanitizes the names
given to worktrees, to make sure these refs are well-formed.
* "git merge" learned "--quit" option that cleans up the in-progress
merge while leaving the working tree and the index still in a mess.
* "git format-patch" learns a configuration to set the default for
its --notes=<ref> option.
* The code to show args with potential typo that cannot be
interpreted as a commit-ish has been improved.
* "git clone --recurse-submodules" learned to set up the submodules
to ignore commit object names recorded in the superproject gitlink
and instead use the commits that happen to be at the tip of the
remote-tracking branches from the get-go, by passing the new
"--remote-submodules" option.
* The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
boundary for Matlab has been extend to cover Octave, which is more
or less equivalent.
* "git help git" was hard to discover (well, at least for some
people).
* The pattern "git diff/grep" use to extract funcname and words
boundary for Rust has been added.
* "git status" can be told a non-standard default value for the
"--[no-]ahead-behind" option with a new configuration variable
status.aheadBehind.
* "git fetch" and "git pull" reports when a fetch results in
non-fast-forward updates to let the user notice unusual situation.
The commands learned "--no-show-forced-updates" option to disable
this safety feature.
* Two new commands "git switch" and "git restore" are introduced to
split "checking out a branch to work on advancing its history" and
"checking out paths out of the index and/or a tree-ish to work on
advancing the current history" out of the single "git checkout"
command.
* "git branch --list" learned to always output the detached HEAD as
the first item (when the HEAD is detached, of course), regardless
of the locale.
* The conditional inclusion mechanism learned to base the choice on
the branch the HEAD currently is on.
* "git rev-list --objects" learned the "--no-object-names" option to
squelch the path to the object that is used as a grouping hint for
pack-objects.
* A new tag.gpgSign configuration variable turns "git tag -a" into
"git tag -s".
* "git multi-pack-index" learned expire and repack subcommands.
* "git blame" learned to "ignore" commits in the history, whose
effects (as well as their presence) get ignored.
* "git cherry-pick/revert" learned a new "--skip" action.
* The tips of refs from the alternate object store can be used as
starting point for reachability computation now.
* Extra blank lines in "git status" output have been reduced.
* The commits in a repository can be described by multiple
commit-graph files now, which allows the commit-graph files to be
updated incrementally.
* "git range-diff" output has been tweaked for easier identification
of which part of what file the patch shown is about.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Update supporting parts of "git rebase" to remove code that should
no longer be used.
* Developer support to emulate unsatisfied prerequisites in tests to
ensure that the remainder of the tests still succeeds when tests
with prerequisites are skipped.
* "git update-server-info" learned not to rewrite the file with the
same contents.
* The way of specifying the path to find dynamic libraries at runtime
has been simplified. The old default to pass -R/path/to/dir has been
replaced with the new default to pass -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/dir,
which is the more recent GCC uses. Those who need to build with an
old GCC can still use "CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R"
* Prepare use of reachability index in topological walker that works
on a range (A..B).
* A new tutorial targeting specifically aspiring git-core
developers has been added.
* Auto-detect how to tell HP-UX aCC where to use dynamically linked
libraries from at runtime.
* "git mergetool" and its tests now spawn fewer subprocesses.
* Dev support update to help tracing out tests.
* Support to build with MSVC has been updated.
* "git fetch" that grabs from a group of remotes learned to run the
auto-gc only once at the very end.
* A handful of Windows build patches have been upstreamed.
* The code to read state files used by the sequencer machinery for
"git status" has been made more robust against a corrupt or stale
state files.
* "git for-each-ref" with multiple patterns have been optimized.
* The tree-walk API learned to pass an in-core repository
instance throughout more codepaths.
* When one step in multi step cherry-pick or revert is reset or
committed, the command line prompt script failed to notice the
current status, which has been improved.
* Many GIT_TEST_* environment variables control various aspects of
how our tests are run, but a few followed "non-empty is true, empty
or unset is false" while others followed the usual "there are a few
ways to spell true, like yes, on, etc., and also ways to spell
false, like no, off, etc." convention.
* Adjust the dir-iterator API and apply it to the local clone
optimization codepath.
* We have been trying out a few language features outside c89; the
coding guidelines document did not talk about them and instead had
a blanket ban against them.
* A test helper has been introduced to optimize preparation of test
repositories with many simple commits, and a handful of test
scripts have been updated to use it.
Fixes since v2.22
-----------------
* A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>"
ought to be relative to the directory "git init" gets invoked in,
but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been
corrected.
* "git worktree add" used to fail when another worktree connected to
the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected.
* The ownership rule for the file descriptor to fast-import remote
backend was mixed up, leading to an unrelated file descriptor getting
closed, which has been fixed.
* A "merge -c" instruction during "git rebase --rebase-merges" should
give the user a chance to edit the log message, even when there is
otherwise no need to create a new merge and replace the existing
one (i.e. fast-forward instead), but did not. Which has been
corrected.
* Code cleanup and futureproof.
* More parameter validation.
* "git update-server-info" used to leave stale packfiles in its
output, which has been corrected.
* The server side support for "git fetch" used to show incorrect
value for the HEAD symbolic ref when the namespace feature is in
use, which has been corrected.
* "git am -i --resolved" segfaulted after trying to see a commit as
if it were a tree, which has been corrected.
* "git bundle verify" needs to see if prerequisite objects exist in
the receiving repository, but the command did not check if we are
in a repository upfront, which has been corrected.
* "git merge --squash" is designed to update the working tree and the
index without creating the commit, and this cannot be countermanded
by adding the "--commit" option; the command now refuses to work
when both options are given.
* The data collected by fsmonitor was not properly written back to
the on-disk index file, breaking t7519 tests occasionally, which
has been corrected.
* Update to Unicode 12.1 width table.
* The command line to invoke a "git cat-file" command from inside
"git p4" was not properly quoted to protect a caret and running a
broken command on Windows, which has been corrected.
* "git request-pull" learned to warn when the ref we ask them to pull
from in the local repository and in the published repository are
different.
* When creating a partial clone, the object filtering criteria is
recorded for the origin of the clone, but this incorrectly used a
hardcoded name "origin" to name that remote; it has been corrected
to honor the "--origin <name>" option.
* "git fetch" into a lazy clone forgot to fetch base objects that are
necessary to complete delta in a thin packfile, which has been
corrected.
* The filter_data used in the list-objects-filter (which manages a
lazily sparse clone repository) did not use the dynamic array API
correctly---'nr' is supposed to point at one past the last element
of the array in use. This has been corrected.
* The description about slashes in gitignore patterns (used to
indicate things like "anchored to this level only" and "only
matches directories") has been revamped.
* The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end
of the string while parsing %-<hex>-<hex> sequence.
* The list of for-each like macros used by clang-format has been
updated.
* "git branch --list" learned to show branches that are checked out
in other worktrees connected to the same repository prefixed with
'+', similar to the way the currently checked out branch is shown
with '*' in front.
(merge 6e9381469e nb/branch-show-other-worktrees-head later to maint).
* Code restructuring during 2.20 period broke fetching tags via
"import" based transports.
* The commit-graph file is now part of the "files that the runtime
may keep open file descriptors on, all of which would need to be
closed when done with the object store", and the file descriptor to
an existing commit-graph file now is closed before "gc" finalizes a
new instance to replace it.
* "git checkout -p" needs to selectively apply a patch in reverse,
which did not work well.
* Code clean-up to avoid signed integer wraparounds during binary search.
* "git interpret-trailers" always treated '#' as the comment
character, regardless of core.commentChar setting, which has been
corrected.
* "git stash show 23" used to work, but no more after getting
rewritten in C; this regression has been corrected.
* "git rebase --abort" used to leave refs/rewritten/ when concluding
"git rebase -r", which has been corrected.
* An incorrect list of options was cached after command line
completion failed (e.g. trying to complete a command that requires
a repository outside one), which has been corrected.
* The code to parse scaled numbers out of configuration files has
been made more robust and also easier to follow.
* The codepath to compute delta islands used to spew progress output
without giving the callers any way to squelch it, which has been
fixed.
* Protocol capabilities that go over wire should never be translated,
but it was incorrectly marked for translation, which has been
corrected. The output of protocol capabilities for debugging has
been tweaked a bit.
* Use "Erase in Line" CSI sequence that is already used in the editor
support to clear cruft in the progress output.
* "git submodule foreach" did not protect command line options passed
to the command to be run in each submodule correctly, when the
"--recursive" option was in use.
* The configuration variable rebase.rescheduleFailedExec should be
effective only while running an interactive rebase and should not
affect anything when running a non-interactive one, which was not
the case. This has been corrected.
* The "git clone" documentation refers to command line options in its
description in the short form; they have been replaced with long
forms to make them more recognisable.
* Generation of pack bitmaps are now disabled when .keep files exist,
as these are mutually exclusive features.
(merge 7328482253 ew/repack-with-bitmaps-by-default later to maint).
* "git rm" to resolve a conflicted path leaked an internal message
"needs merge" before actually removing the path, which was
confusing. This has been corrected.
* "git stash --keep-index" did not work correctly on paths that have
been removed, which has been fixed.
(merge b932f6a5e8 tg/stash-keep-index-with-removed-paths later to maint).
* Window 7 update ;-)
* A codepath that reads from GPG for signed object verification read
past the end of allocated buffer, which has been fixed.
* "git clean" silently skipped a path when it cannot lstat() it; now
it gives a warning.
* "git push --atomic" that goes over the transport-helper (namely,
the smart http transport) failed to prevent refs to be pushed when
it can locally tell that one of the ref update will fail without
having to consult the other end, which has been corrected.
* The internal diff machinery can be made to read out of bounds while
looking for --function-context line in a corner case, which has been
corrected.
(merge b777f3fd61 jk/xdiff-clamp-funcname-context-index later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge fbec05c210 cc/test-oidmap later to maint).
(merge 7a06fb038c jk/no-system-includes-in-dot-c later to maint).
(merge 81ed2b405c cb/xdiff-no-system-includes-in-dot-c later to maint).
(merge d61e6ce1dd sg/fsck-config-in-doc later to maint).

Changes 2.1.0:
Backward compatibility notes
----------------------------
* The default value we give to the environment variable LESS has been
changed from "FRSX" to "FRX", losing "S" (chop long lines instead
of wrapping). Existing users who prefer not to see line-wrapped
output may want to set
$ git config core.pager "less -S"
to restore the traditional behaviour. It is expected that people
find output from most subcommands easier to read with the new
default, except for "blame" which tends to produce really long
lines. To override the new default only for "git blame", you can
do this:
$ git config pager.blame "less -S"
* A few disused directories in contrib/ have been retired.
Updates since v2.0
------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Since the very beginning of Git, we gave the LESS environment a
default value "FRSX" when we spawn "less" as the pager. "S" (chop
long lines instead of wrapping) has been removed from this default
set of options, because it is more or less a personal taste thing,
as opposed to the others that have good justifications (i.e. "R" is
very much justified because many kinds of output we produce are
colored and "FX" is justified because output we produce is often
shorter than a page).
* The logic and data used to compute the display width needed for
UTF-8 strings have been updated to match Unicode 7.0 better.
* HTTP-based transports learned to better propagate the error messages from
the webserver to the client coming over the HTTP transport.
* The completion script for bash (in contrib/) has been updated to
better handle aliases that define a complex sequence of commands.
* The "core.preloadindex" configuration variable is enabled by default,
allowing modern platforms to take advantage of their
multiple cores.
* "git clone" applies the "if cloning from a local disk, physically
copy the repository using hardlinks, unless otherwise told not to with
--no-local" optimization when the url.*.insteadOf mechanism rewrites a
remote-repository "git clone $URL" into a
clone from a local disk.
* "git commit --date=<date>" option learned more
timestamp formats, including "--date=now".
* The `core.commentChar` configuration variable is used to specify a
custom comment character (other than the default "#") for
the commit message editor. This can be set to `auto` to attempt to
choose a different character that does not conflict with any that
already starts a line in the message being edited, for cases like
"git commit --amend".
* "git format-patch" learned --signature-file=<file> to add the contents
of a file as a signature to the mail message it produces.
* "git grep" learned the grep.fullname configuration variable to force
"--full-name" to be the default. This may cause regressions for
scripted users who do not expect this new behaviour.
* "git imap-send" learned to ask the credential helper for auth
material.
* "git log" and friends now understand the value "auto" for the
"log.decorate" configuration variable to enable the "--decorate"
option automatically when the output is sent to tty.
* "git merge" without an argument, even when there is an upstream
defined for the current branch, refused to run until
merge.defaultToUpstream is set to true. Flip the default of that
configuration variable to true.
* "git mergetool" learned to drive the vimdiff3 backend.
* mergetool.prompt used to default to 'true', always asking "do you
really want to run the tool on this path?". The default has been
changed to 'false'. However, the prompt will still appear if
mergetool used its autodetection system to guess which tool to use.
Users who explicitly specify or configure a tool will no longer see
the prompt by default.
Strictly speaking, this is a backward incompatible change and
users need to explicitly set the variable to 'true' if they want
to be prompted to confirm running the tool on each path.
* "git replace" learned the "--edit" subcommand to create a
replacement by editing an existing object.
* "git replace" learned a "--graft" option to rewrite the parents of a
commit.
* "git send-email" learned "--to-cover" and "--cc-cover" options, to
tell it to copy To: and Cc: headers found in the first input file
when emitting later input files.
* "git svn" learned to cope with malformed timestamps with only one
digit in the hour part, e.g. 2014-01-07T5:01:02.048176Z, emitted
by some broken subversion server implementations.
* "git tag" when editing the tag message shows the name of the tag
being edited as a comment in the editor.
* "git tag" learned to pay attention to "tag.sort" configuration, to
be used as the default sort order when no --sort=<value> option
is given.
* A new "git verify-commit" command, to check GPG signatures in signed
commits, in a way similar to "git verify-tag" is used to check
signed tags, was added.

Changes 2.5.0:
UI, Workflows & Features
* The bash completion script (in contrib/) learned a few options that
"git revert" takes.
* Whitespace breakages in deleted and context lines can also be
painted in the output of "git diff" and friends with the new
--ws-error-highlight option.
* List of commands shown by "git help" are grouped along the workflow
elements to help early learners.
* "git p4" now detects the filetype (e.g. binary) correctly even when
the files are opened exclusively.
* git p4 attempts to better handle branches in Perforce.
* "git p4" learned "--changes-block-size <n>" to read the changes in
chunks from Perforce, instead of making one call to "p4 changes"
that may trigger "too many rows scanned" error from Perforce.
* More workaround for Perforce's row number limit in "git p4".
* Unlike "$EDITOR" and "$GIT_EDITOR" that can hold the path to the
command and initial options (e.g. "/path/to/emacs -nw"), 'git p4'
did not let the shell interpolate the contents of the environment
variable that name the editor "$P4EDITOR" (and "$EDITOR", too).
This release makes it in line with the rest of Git, as well as with
Perforce.
* A new short-hand <branch>@{push} denotes the remote-tracking branch
that tracks the branch at the remote the <branch> would be pushed
to.
* "git show-branch --topics HEAD" (with no other arguments) did not
do anything interesting. Instead, contrast the given revision
against all the local branches by default.
* A replacement for contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir that does not
rely on symbolic links and make sharing of objects and refs safer
by making the borrowee and borrowers aware of each other.
Consider this as still an experimental feature; its UI is still
likely to change.
* Tweak the sample "store" backend of the credential helper to honor
XDG configuration file locations when specified.
* A heuristic we use to catch mistyped paths on the command line
"git <cmd> <revs> <pathspec>" is to make sure that all the non-rev
parameters in the later part of the command line are names of the
files in the working tree, but that means "git grep $str -- \*.c"
must always be disambiguated with "--", because nobody sane will
create a file whose name literally is asterisk-dot-see. Loosen the
heuristic to declare that with a wildcard string the user likely
meant to give us a pathspec.
* "git merge FETCH_HEAD" learned that the previous "git fetch" could
be to create an Octopus merge, i.e. recording multiple branches
that are not marked as "not-for-merge"; this allows us to lose an
old style invocation "git merge <msg> HEAD $commits..." in the
implementation of "git pull" script; the old style syntax can now
be deprecated (but not removed yet).
* Filter scripts were run with SIGPIPE disabled on the Git side,
expecting that they may not read what Git feeds them to filter.
We however treated a filter that does not read its input fully
before exiting as an error. We no longer do and ignore EPIPE
when writing to feed the filter scripts.
This changes semantics, but arguably in a good way. If a filter
can produce its output without fully consuming its input using
whatever magic, we now let it do so, instead of diagnosing it
as a programming error.
* Instead of dying immediately upon failing to obtain a lock, the
locking (of refs etc) retries after a short while with backoff.
* Introduce http.<url>.SSLCipherList configuration variable to tweak
the list of cipher suite to be used with libcURL when talking with
https:// sites.
* "git subtree" script (in contrib/) used "echo -n" to produce
progress messages in a non-portable way.
* "git subtree" script (in contrib/) does not have --squash option
when pushing, but the documentation and help text pretended as if
it did.
* The Git subcommand completion (in contrib/) no longer lists credential
helpers among candidates; they are not something the end user would
invoke interactively.
* The index file can be taught with "update-index --untracked-cache"
to optionally remember already seen untracked files, in order to
speed up "git status" in a working tree with tons of cruft.
* "git mergetool" learned to drive WinMerge as a backend.
* "git upload-pack" that serves "git fetch" can be told to serve
commits that are not at the tip of any ref, as long as they are
reachable from a ref, with uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant
configuration variable.

Changes 2.2.0:
Ports
* Building on older MacOS X systems automatically sets
the necessary NO_APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO build-time option.
* Building with NO_PTHREADS has been resurrected.
* Compilation options have been updated a bit to better support the
z/OS port.
UI, Workflows & Features
* "git archive" learned to filter what gets archived with a pathspec.
* "git config --edit --global" starts from a skeletal per-user
configuration file contents, instead of a total blank, when the
user does not already have any global config. This immediately
reduces the need to later ask "Have you forgotten to set
core.user?", and we can add more to the template as we gain
more experience.
* "git stash list -p" used to be almost always a no-op because each
stash entry is represented as a merge commit. It learned to show
the difference between the base commit version and the working tree
version, which is in line with what "git stash show" gives.
* Sometimes users want to report a bug they experience on their
repository, but they are not at liberty to share the contents of
the repository. "fast-export" was taught an "--anonymize" option
to replace blob contents, names of people, paths and log
messages with bland and simple strings to help them.
* "git difftool" learned an option to stop feeding paths to the
diff backend when it exits with a non-zero status.
* "git grep" learned to paint (or not paint) partial matches on
context lines when showing "grep -C<num>" output in color.
* "log --date=iso" uses a slight variant of the ISO 8601 format that is
more human readable. A new "--date=iso-strict" option gives
datetime output that conforms more strictly.
* The logic "git prune" uses is more resilient against various corner
cases.
* A broken reimplementation of Git could write an invalid index that
records both stage 0 and higher-stage entries for the same path.
We now notice and reject such an index, as there is no sensible
fallback (we do not know if the broken tool wanted to resolve and
forgot to remove the higher-stage entries, or if it wanted to unresolve
and forgot to remove the stage 0 entry).
* The temporary files "git mergetool" uses are renamed to avoid too
many dots in them (e.g. a temporary file for "hello.c" used to be
named e.g. "hello.BASE.4321.c" but now uses underscore instead,
e.g. "hello_BASE_4321.c", to allow us to have multiple variants).
* The temporary files "git mergetool" uses can be placed in a newly
created temporary directory, instead of the current directory, by
setting the mergetool.writeToTemp configuration variable.
* "git mergetool" understands "--tool bc" now, as version 4 of
BeyondCompare can be driven the same way as its version 3 and it
feels awkward to say "--tool bc3" to run version 4.
* The "pre-receive" and "post-receive" hooks are no longer required
to consume their input fully (not following this requirement used
to result in intermittent errors in "git push").
* The pretty-format specifier "%d", which expands to " (tagname)"
for a tagged commit, gained a cousin "%D" that just gives the
"tagname" without frills.
* "git push" learned "--signed" push, that allows a push (i.e.
request to update the refs on the other side to point at a new
history, together with the transmission of necessary objects) to be
signed, so that it can be verified and audited, using the GPG
signature of the person who pushed, that the tips of branches at a
public repository really point the commits the pusher wanted to,
without having to "trust" the server.
* "git interpret-trailers" is a new filter to programmatically edit
the tail end of the commit log messages, e.g. "Signed-off-by:".
* "git help everyday" shows the "Everyday Git in 20 commands or so"
document, whose contents have been updated to match more modern
Git practice.
* On the "git svn" front, work progresses to reduce memory consumption and
to improve handling of mergeinfo.

Git 2.9 Release Notes
=====================
Backward compatibility notes
----------------------------
The end-user facing Porcelain level commands in the "git diff" and
"git log" family by default enable the rename detection; you can still
use "diff.renames" configuration variable to disable this.
Merging two branches that have no common ancestor with "git merge" is
by default forbidden now to prevent creating such an unusual merge by
mistake.
The output formats of "git log" that indents the commit log message by
4 spaces now expands HT in the log message by default. You can use
the "--no-expand-tabs" option to disable this.
"git commit-tree" plumbing command required the user to always sign
its result when the user sets the commit.gpgsign configuration
variable, which was an ancient mistake, which this release corrects.
A script that drives commit-tree, if it relies on this mistake, now
needs to read commit.gpgsign and pass the -S option as necessary.
Updates since v2.8
------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Comes with git-multimail 1.3.1 (in contrib/).
* The end-user facing commands like "git diff" and "git log"
now enable the rename detection by default.
* The credential.helper configuration variable is cumulative and
there is no good way to override it from the command line. As
a special case, giving an empty string as its value now serves
as the signal to clear the values specified in various files.
* A new "interactive.diffFilter" configuration can be used to
customize the diff shown in "git add -i" sessions.
* "git p4" now allows P4 author names to be mapped to Git author
names.
* "git rebase -x" can be used without passing "-i" option.
* "git -c credential.<var>=<value> submodule" can now be used to
propagate configuration variables related to credential helper
down to the submodules.
* "git tag" can create an annotated tag without explicitly given an
"-a" (or "-s") option (i.e. when a tag message is given). A new
configuration variable, tag.forceSignAnnotated, can be used to tell
the command to create signed tag in such a situation.
* "git merge" used to allow merging two branches that have no common
base by default, which led to a brand new history of an existing
project created and then get pulled by an unsuspecting maintainer,
which allowed an unnecessary parallel history merged into the
existing project. The command has been taught not to allow this by
default, with an escape hatch "--allow-unrelated-histories" option
to be used in a rare event that merges histories of two projects
that started their lives independently.
* "git pull" has been taught to pass the "--allow-unrelated-histories"
option to underlying "git merge".
* "git apply -v" learned to report paths in the patch that were
skipped via --include/--exclude mechanism or being outside the
current working directory.
* Shell completion (in contrib/) updates.
* The commit object name reported when "rebase -i" stops has been
shortened.
* "git worktree add" can be given "--no-checkout" option to only
create an empty worktree without checking out the files.
* "git mergetools" learned to drive ExamDiff.
* "git pull --rebase" learned "--[no-]autostash" option, so that
the rebase.autostash configuration variable set to true can be
overridden from the command line.
* When "git log" shows the log message indented by 4-spaces, the
remainder of a line after a HT does not align in the way the author
originally intended. The command now expands tabs by default to help
such a case, and allows the users to override it with a new option,
"--no-expand-tabs".
* "git send-email" now uses a more readable timestamps when
formulating a message ID.
* "git rerere" can encounter two or more files with the same conflict
signature that have to be resolved in different ways, but there was
no way to record these separate resolutions.
* "git p4" learned to record P4 jobs in Git commit that imports from
the history in Perforce.
* "git describe --contains" often made a hard-to-justify choice of
tag to name a given commit, because it tried to come up
with a name with smallest number of hops from a tag, causing an old
commit whose close descendant that is recently tagged were not
described with respect to an old tag but with a newer tag. It did
not help that its computation of "hop" count was further tweaked to
penalize being on a side branch of a merge. The logic has been
updated to favor using the tag with the oldest tagger date, which
is a lot easier to explain to the end users: "We describe a commit
in terms of the (chronologically) oldest tag that contains the
commit."
* "git clone" learned the "--shallow-submodules" option.
* HTTP transport clients learned to throw extra HTTP headers at the
server, specified via http.extraHeader configuration variable.
* The "--compaction-heuristic" option to "git diff" family of
commands enables a heuristic to make the patch output more readable
by using a blank line as a strong hint that the contents before and
after it belong to logically separate units. It is still
experimental.
* A new configuration variable core.hooksPath allows customizing
where the hook directory is.
* An earlier addition of "sanitize_submodule_env" with 14111fc4 (git:
submodule honor -c credential.* from command line, 2016-02-29)
turned out to be a convoluted no-op; implement what it wanted to do
correctly, and stop filtering settings given via "git -c var=val".
* "git commit --dry-run" reported "No, no, you cannot commit." in one
case where "git commit" would have allowed you to commit, and this
improves it a little bit ("git commit --dry-run --short" still does
not give you the correct answer, for example). This is a stop-gap
measure in that "commit --short --dry-run" still gives an incorrect
result.
* The experimental "multiple worktree" feature gains more safety to
forbid operations on a branch that is checked out or being actively
worked on elsewhere, by noticing that e.g. it is being rebased.
* "git format-patch" learned a new "--base" option to record what
(public, well-known) commit the original series was built on in
its output.
* "git commit" learned to pay attention to the "commit.verbose"
configuration variable and act as if the "--verbose" option
was given from the command line.
* Updated documentation gives hints to GMail users with two-factor
auth enabled that they need app-specific-password when using
"git send-email".
* The manpage output of our documentation did not render well in
terminal; typeset literals in bold by default to make them stand
out more.
* The mark-up in the top-level README.md file has been updated to
typeset CLI command names differently from the body text.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The embedded args argv-array in the child process is used to build
the command line to run pack-objects instead of using a separate
array of strings.
* A test for tags has been restructured so that more parts of it can
easily be run on a platform without a working GnuPG.
* The startup_info data, which records if we are working inside a
repository (among other things), are now uniformly available to Git
subcommand implementations, and Git avoids attempting to touch
references when we are not in a repository.
* The command line argument parser for "receive-pack" has been
rewritten to use parse-options.
* A major part of "git submodule update" has been ported to C to take
advantage of the recently added framework to run download tasks in
parallel. Other updates to "git submodule" that move pieces of
logic to C continues.
* Rename bunch of tests on "git clone" for better organization.
* The tests that involve running httpd leaked the system-wide
configuration in /etc/gitconfig to the tested environment.
* Build updates for MSVC.
* 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.
* Code restructuring around the "refs" API to prepare for pluggable
refs backends.
* Sources to many test helper binaries and the generated helpers
have been moved to t/helper/ subdirectory to reduce clutter at the
top level of the tree.
* Unify internal logic between "git tag -v" and "git verify-tag"
commands by making one directly call into the other.
* "merge-recursive" strategy incorrectly checked if a path that is
involved in its internal merge exists in the working tree.
* The test scripts for "git p4" (but not "git p4" implementation
itself) has been updated so that they would work even on a system
where the installed version of Python is python 3.
* As nobody maintains our in-tree git.spec.in and distros use their
own spec file, we stopped pretending that we support "make rpm".
* Move from "unsigned char[20]" to "struct object_id" continues.
* The code for warning_errno/die_errno has been refactored and a new
error_errno() reporting helper is introduced.
(merge 1da045f nd/error-errno later to maint).
* Running tests with '-x' option to trace the individual command
executions is a useful way to debug test scripts, but some tests
that capture the standard error stream and check what the command
said can be broken with the trace output mixed in. When running
our tests under "bash", however, we can redirect the trace output
to another file descriptor to keep the standard error of programs
being tested intact.
* t0040 had too many unnecessary repetitions in its test data. Teach
test-parse-options program so that a caller can tell what it
expects in its output, so that these repetitions can be cleaned up.
* Add perf test for "rebase -i".
* Common mistakes when writing gitlink: in our documentation are
found by "make check-docs".
* t9xxx series has been updated primarily for readability, while
fixing small bugs in it. A few scripted Porcelain commands have
also been updated to fix possible bugs around their use of
"test -z" and "test -n".
* CI test was taught to run git-svn tests.
* "git cat-file --batch-all" has been sped up, by taking advantage
of the fact that it does not have to read a list of objects, in two
ways.
* test updates to make it more readable and maintainable.
(merge e6273f4 es/t1500-modernize later to maint).
* "make DEVELOPER=1" worked as expected; setting DEVELOPER=1 in
config.mak didn't.
(merge 51dd3e8 mm/makefile-developer-can-be-in-config-mak later to maint).
* The way how "submodule--helper list" signals unmatch error to its
callers has been updated.
* A bash-ism "local" has been removed from "git submodule" scripted
Porcelain.
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

git: updated to 2.18.0
2.18.0:
UI, Workflows & Features
* Rename detection logic that is used in "merge" and "cherry-pick" has
learned to guess when all of x/a, x/b and x/c have moved to z/a,
z/b and z/c, it is likely that x/d added in the meantime would also
want to move to z/d by taking the hint that the entire directory
'x' moved to 'z'. A bug causing dirty files involved in a rename
to be overwritten during merge has also been fixed as part of this
work. Incidentally, this also avoids updating a file in the
working tree after a (non-trivial) merge whose result matches what
our side originally had.
* "git filter-branch" learned to use a different exit code to allow
the callers to tell the case where there was no new commits to
rewrite from other error cases.
* When built with more recent cURL, GIT_SSL_VERSION can now specify
"tlsv1.3" as its value.
* "git gui" learned that "~/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub" and
"~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub" are also possible SSH key files.
(merge 2e2f0288ef bb/git-gui-ssh-key-files later to maint).
* "git gui" performs commit upon CTRL/CMD+ENTER but the
CTRL/CMD+KP_ENTER (i.e. enter key on the numpad) did not have the
same key binding. It now does.
(merge 28a1d94a06 bp/git-gui-bind-kp-enter later to maint).
* "git gui" has been taught to work with old versions of tk (like
8.5.7) that do not support "ttk::style theme use" as a way to query
the current theme.
(merge 4891961105 cb/git-gui-ttk-style later to maint).
* "git rebase" has learned to honor "--signoff" option when using
backends other than "am" (but not "--preserve-merges").
* "git branch --list" during an interrupted "rebase -i" now lets
users distinguish the case where a detached HEAD is being rebased
and a normal branch is being rebased.
* "git mergetools" learned talking to guiffy.
* The scripts in contrib/emacs/ have outlived their usefulness and
have been replaced with a stub that errors out and tells the user
there are replacements.
* The new "working-tree-encoding" attribute can ask Git to convert the
contents to the specified encoding when checking out to the working
tree (and the other way around when checking in).
* The "git config" command uses separate options e.g. "--int",
"--bool", etc. to specify what type the caller wants the value to
be interpreted as. A new "--type=<typename>" option has been
introduced, which would make it cleaner to define new types.
* "git config --get" learned the "--default" option, to help the
calling script. Building on top of the above changes, the
"git config" learns "--type=color" type. Taken together, you can
do things like "git config --get foo.color --default blue" and get
the ANSI color sequence for the color given to foo.color variable,
or "blue" if the variable does not exist.
* "git ls-remote" learned an option to allow sorting its output based
on the refnames being shown.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught that "git
stash save" has been deprecated ("git stash push" is the preferred
spelling in the new world) and does not offer it as a possible
completion candidate when "git stash push" can be.
* "git gc --prune=nonsense" spent long time repacking and then
silently failed when underlying "git prune --expire=nonsense"
failed to parse its command line. This has been corrected.
* Error messages from "git push" can be painted for more visibility.
* "git http-fetch" (deprecated) had an optional and experimental
"feature" to fetch only commits and/or trees, which nobody used.
This has been removed.
* The functionality of "$GIT_DIR/info/grafts" has been superseded by
the "refs/replace/" mechanism for some time now, but the internal
code had support for it in many places, which has been cleaned up
in order to drop support of the "grafts" mechanism.
* "git worktree add" learned to check out an existing branch.
* "git --no-pager cmd" did not have short-and-sweet single letter
option. Now it does as "-P".
(merge 7213c28818 js/no-pager-shorthand later to maint).
* "git rebase" learned "--rebase-merges" to transplant the whole
topology of commit graph elsewhere.
* "git status" learned to pay attention to UI related diff
configuration variables such as diff.renames.
* The command line completion mechanism (in contrib/) learned to load
custom completion file for "git $command" where $command is a
custom "git-$command" that the end user has on the $PATH when using
newer version of bash-completion.
* "git send-email" can sometimes offer confirmation dialog "Send this
email?" with choices 'Yes', 'No', 'Quit', and 'All'. A new action
'Edit' has been added to this dialog's choice.
* With merge.renames configuration set to false, the recursive merge
strategy can be told not to spend cycles trying to find renamed
paths and merge them accordingly.
* "git status" learned to honor a new status.renames configuration to
skip rename detection, which could be useful for those who want to
do so without disabling the default rename detection done by the
"git diff" command.
* Command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete pathnames
for various commands better.
* "git blame" learns to unhighlight uninteresting metadata from the
originating commit on lines that are the same as the previous one,
and also paint lines in different colors depending on the age of
the commit.
* Transfer protocol v2 learned to support the partial clone.
* When a short hexadecimal string is used to name an object but there
are multiple objects that share the string as the prefix of their
names, the code lists these ambiguous candidates in a help message.
These object names are now sorted according to their types for
easier eyeballing.
* "git fetch $there $refspec" that talks over protocol v2 can take
advantage of server-side ref filtering; the code has been extended
so that this mechanism triggers also when fetching with configured
refspec.
* Our HTTP client code used to advertise that we accept gzip encoding
from the other side; instead, just let cURL library to advertise
and negotiate the best one.
* "git p4" learned to "unshelve" shelved commit from P4.
(merge 123f631761 ld/p4-unshelve later to maint).

git: updated to 2.29.2
Git v2.29.2 Release Notes
=========================
This release is primarily to fix brown-paper-bag breakages in the
2.29.0 release.
Fixes since v2.29.1
-------------------
* In 2.29, "--committer-date-is-author-date" option of "rebase" and
"am" subcommands lost the e-mail address by mistake, which has been
corrected.
Git v2.29.1 Release Notes
=========================
This is to fix the build procedure change in 2.28 where we failed to
install a few programs that should be installed in /usr/bin (namely,
receive-pack, upload-archive and upload-pack) when the non-default
SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS installation option is in effect.
A minor glitch in a non-default installation may usually not deserve
a hotfix, but I know Git for Windows ship binaries built with this
option, so let's make an exception.
Git 2.29 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.28
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* "git help log" has been enhanced by sharing more material from the
documentation for the underlying "git rev-list" command.
* "git for-each-ref --format=<>" learned %(contents:size).
* "git merge" learned to selectively omit " into <branch>" at the end
of the title of default merge message with merge.suppressDest
configuration.
* The component to respond to "git fetch" request is made more
configurable to selectively allow or reject object filtering
specification used for partial cloning.
* Stop when "sendmail.*" configuration variables are defined, which
could be a mistaken attempt to define "sendemail.*" variables.
* The existing backends for "git mergetool" based on variants of vim
have been refactored and then support for "nvim" has been added.
* "git bisect" learns the "--first-parent" option to find the first
breakage along the first-parent chain.
* "git log --first-parent -p" showed patches only for single-parent
commits on the first-parent chain; the "--first-parent" option has
been made to imply "-m". Use "--no-diff-merges" to restore the
previous behaviour to omit patches for merge commits.
* The commit labels used to explain each side of conflicted hunks
placed by the sequencer machinery have been made more readable by
humans.
* The "--batch-size" option of "git multi-pack-index repack" command
is now used to specify that very small packfiles are collected into
one until the total size roughly exceeds it.
* The recent addition of SHA-256 support is marked as experimental in
the documentation.
* "git fetch" learned --no-write-fetch-head option to avoid writing
the FETCH_HEAD file.
* Command line completion (in contrib/) usually omits redundant,
deprecated and/or dangerous options from its output; it learned to
optionally include all of them.
* The output from the "diff" family of the commands had abbreviated
object names of blobs involved in the patch, but its length was not
affected by the --abbrev option. Now it is.
* "git worktree" gained a "repair" subcommand to help users recover
after moving the worktrees or repository manually without telling
Git. Also, "git init --separate-git-dir" no longer corrupts
administrative data related to linked worktrees.
* The "--format=" option to the "for-each-ref" command and friends
learned a few more tricks, e.g. the ":short" suffix that applies to
"objectname" now also can be used for "parent", "tree", etc.
* "git worktree add" learns that the "-d" is a synonym to "--detach"
option to create a new worktree without being on a branch.
* "format-patch --range-diff=<prev> <origin>..HEAD" has been taught
not to ignore <origin> when <prev> is a single version.
* "add -p" now allows editing paths that were only added in intent.
* The 'meld' backend of the "git mergetool" learned to give the
underlying 'meld' the '--auto-merge' option, which would help
reduce the amount of text that requires manual merging.
* "git for-each-ref" and friends that list refs used to allow only
one --merged or --no-merged to filter them; they learned to take
combination of both kind of filtering.
* "git maintenance", a "git gc"'s big brother, has been introduced to
take care of more repository maintenance tasks, not limited to the
object database cleaning.
* "git receive-pack" that accepts requests by "git push" learned to
outsource most of the ref updates to the new "proc-receive" hook.
* "git push" that wants to be atomic and wants to send push
certificate learned not to prepare and sign the push certificate
when it fails the local check (hence due to atomicity it is known
that no certificate is needed).
* "git commit-graph write" learned to limit the number of bloom
filters that are computed from scratch with the --max-new-filters
option.
* The transport protocol v2 has become the default again.
* The installation procedure learned to optionally omit "git-foo"
executable files for each 'foo' built-in subcommand, which are only
required by old timers that still rely on the age old promise that
prepending "git --exec-path" output to PATH early in their script
will keep the "git-foo" calls they wrote working.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) learned that "git restore
-s <TAB>" is often followed by a refname.
* "git shortlog" has been taught to group commits by the contents of
the trailer lines, like "Reviewed-by:", "Coauthored-by:", etc.
* "git archive" learns the "--add-file" option to include untracked
files into a snapshot from a tree-ish.
* "git fetch" and "git push" support negative refspecs.
* "git format-patch" learns to take "whenAble" as a possible value
for the format.useAutoBase configuration variable to become no-op
when the automatically computed base does not make sense.
* Credential helpers are now allowed to terminate lines with CRLF
line ending, as well as LF line ending.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The changed-path Bloom filter is improved using ideas from an
independent implementation.
* Updates to the changed-paths bloom filter.
* The test framework has been updated so that most tests will run
with predictable (artificial) timestamps.
* Preliminary clean-up of the refs API in preparation for adding a
new refs backend "reftable".
* Dev support to limit the use of test_must_fail to only git commands.
* While packing many objects in a repository with a promissor remote,
lazily fetching missing objects from the promissor remote one by
one may be inefficient---the code now attempts to fetch all the
missing objects in batch (obviously this won't work for a lazy
clone that lazily fetches tree objects as you cannot even enumerate
what blobs are missing until you learn which trees are missing).
* The pretend-object mechanism checks if the given object already
exists in the object store before deciding to keep the data
in-core, but the check would have triggered lazy fetching of such
an object from a promissor remote.
* The argv_array API is useful for not just managing argv but any
"vector" (NULL-terminated array) of strings, and has seen adoption
to a certain degree. It has been renamed to "strvec" to reduce the
barrier to adoption.
* The final leg of SHA-256 transition plus doc updates. Note that
there is no interoperability between SHA-1 and SHA-256
repositories yet.
* CMake support to build with MSVC for Windows bypassing the Makefile.
* A new helper function has_object() has been introduced to make it
easier to mark object existence checks that do and don't want to
trigger lazy fetches, and a few such checks are converted using it.
* A no-op replacement function implemented as a C preprocessor macro
does not perform as good a job as one implemented as a "static
inline" function in catching errors in parameters; replace the
former with the latter in <git-compat-util.h> header.
* Test framework update.
(merge d572f52a64 es/test-cmp-typocatcher later to maint).
* Updates to "git merge" tests, in preparation for a new merge
strategy backend.
* midx and commit-graph files now use the byte defined in their file
format specification for identifying the hash function used for
object names.
* The FETCH_HEAD is now always read from the filesystem regardless of
the ref backend in use, as its format is much richer than the
normal refs, and written directly by "git fetch" as a plain file..
* An unused binary has been discarded, and and a bunch of commands
have been turned into into built-in.
* A handful of places in in-tree code still relied on being able to
execute the git subcommands, especially built-ins, in "git-foo"
form, which have been corrected.
* When a packfile is removed by "git repack", multi-pack-index gets
cleared; the code was taught to do so less aggressively by first
checking if the midx actually refers to a pack that no longer
exists.
* Internal API clean-up to handle two options "diff-index" and "log"
have, which happen to share the same short form, more sensibly.
* The "add -i/-p" machinery has been written in C but it is not used
by default yet. It is made default to those who are participating
in feature.experimental experiment.
* Allow maintainers to tweak $(TAR) invocations done while making
distribution tarballs.
* "git index-pack" learned to resolve deltified objects with greater
parallelism.
* "diff-highlight" (in contrib/) had a logic to flush its output upon
seeing a blank line but the way it detected a blank line was broken.
* The logic to skip testing on the tagged commit and the tag itself
was not quite consistent which led to failure of Windows test
tasks. It has been revamped to consistently skip revisions that
have already been tested, based on the tree object of the revision.
Fixes since v2.28
-----------------
* The "mediawiki" remote backend which lives in contrib/mw-to-git/
and is not built with git by default, had an RCE bug allowing a
malicious MediaWiki server operator to inject arbitrary commands
for execution by a cloning client. This has been fixed.
The bug was discovered and reported by Joern Schneeweisz of GitLab
to the git-security mailing list. Its practical impact due to the
obscurity of git-remote-mediawiki was deemed small enough to forgo
a dedicated security release.
* "git clone --separate-git-dir=$elsewhere" used to stomp on the
contents of the existing directory $elsewhere, which has been
taught to fail when $elsewhere is not an empty directory.
(merge dfaa209a79 bw/fail-cloning-into-non-empty later to maint).
* With the base fix to 2.27 regresion, any new extensions in a v0
repository would still be silently honored, which is not quite
right. Instead, complain and die loudly.
(merge ec91ffca04 jk/reject-newer-extensions-in-v0 later to maint).
* Fetching from a lazily cloned repository resulted at the server
side in attempts to lazy fetch objects that the client side has,
many of which will not be available from the third-party anyway.
(merge 77aa0941ce jt/avoid-lazy-fetching-upon-have-check later to maint).
* Fix to an ancient bug caused by an over-eager attempt for
optimization.
(merge a98f7fb366 rs/add-index-entry-optim-fix later to maint).
* Pushing a ref whose name contains non-ASCII character with the
"--force-with-lease" option did not work over smart HTTP protocol,
which has been corrected.
(merge cd85b447bf bc/push-cas-cquoted-refname later to maint).
* "git mv src dst", when src is an unmerged path, errored out
correctly but with an incorrect error message to claim that src is
not tracked, which has been clarified.
(merge 9b906af657 ct/mv-unmerged-path-error later to maint).
* Fix to a regression introduced during 2.27 cycle.
(merge cada7308ad en/fill-directory-exponential later to maint).
* Command line completion (in contrib/) update.
(merge 688b87c81b mp/complete-show-color-moved later to maint).
* All "mergy" operations that internally use the merge-recursive
machinery should honor the merge.renormalize configuration, but
many of them didn't.
* Doc cleanup around "worktree".
(merge dc9c144be5 es/worktree-doc-cleanups later to maint).
* The "git blame --first-parent" option was not documented, but now
it is.
(merge 11bc12ae1e rp/blame-first-parent-doc later to maint).
* The logic to find the ref transaction hook script attempted to
cache the path to the found hook without realizing that it needed
to keep a copied value, as the API it used returned a transitory
buffer space. This has been corrected.
(merge 09b2aa30c9 ps/ref-transaction-hook later to maint).
* Recent versions of "git diff-files" shows a diff between the index
and the working tree for "intent-to-add" paths as a "new file"
patch; "git apply --cached" should be able to take "git diff-files"
and should act as an equivalent to "git add" for the path, but the
command failed to do so for such a path.
(merge 4c025c667e rp/apply-cached-with-i-t-a later to maint).
* "git diff [<tree-ish>] $path" for a $path that is marked with i-t-a
bit was not showing the mode bits from the working tree.
(merge cb0dd22b82 rp/ita-diff-modefix later to maint).
* Ring buffer with size 4 used for bin-hex translation resulted in a
wrong object name in the sequencer's todo output, which has been
corrected.
(merge 5da69c0dac ak/sequencer-fix-find-uniq-abbrev later to maint).
* When given more than one target line ranges, "git blame -La,b
-Lc,d" was over-eager to coalesce groups of original lines and
showed incorrect results, which has been corrected.
(merge c2ebaa27d6 jk/blame-coalesce-fix later to maint).
* The regexp to identify the function boundary for FORTRAN programs
has been updated.
(merge 75c3b6b2e8 pb/userdiff-fortran-update later to maint).
* A few end-user facing messages have been updated to be
hash-algorithm agnostic.
(merge 4279000d3e jc/object-names-are-not-sha-1 later to maint).
* "unlink" emulation on MinGW has been optimized.
(merge 680e0b4524 jh/mingw-unlink later to maint).
* The purpose of "git init --separate-git-dir" is to initialize a
new project with the repository separate from the working tree,
or, in the case of an existing project, to move the repository
(the .git/ directory) out of the working tree. It does not make
sense to use --separate-git-dir with a bare repository for which
there is no working tree, so disallow its use with bare
repositories.
(merge ccf236a23a es/init-no-separate-git-dir-in-bare later to maint).
* "ls-files -o" mishandled the top-level directory of another git
working tree that hangs in the current git working tree.
(merge ab282aa548 en/dir-nonbare-embedded later to maint).
* Fix some incorrect UNLEAK() annotations.
(merge 3e19816dc0 jk/unleak-fixes later to maint).
* Use more buffered I/O where we used to call many small write(2)s.
(merge a698d67b08 rs/more-buffered-io later to maint).
* The patch-id computation did not ignore the "incomplete last line"
marker like whitespaces.
(merge 82a62015a7 rs/patch-id-with-incomplete-line later to maint).
* Updates into a lazy/partial clone with a submodule did not work
well with transfer.fsckobjects set.
* The parser for "git for-each-ref --format=..." was too loose when
parsing the "%(trailers...)" atom, and forgot that "trailers" and
"trailers:<modifiers>" are the only two allowed forms, which has
been corrected.
(merge 2c22e102f8 hv/ref-filter-trailers-atom-parsing-fix later to maint).
* Long ago, we decided to use 3 threads by default when running the
index-pack task in parallel, which has been adjusted a bit upwards.
(merge fbff95b67f jk/index-pack-w-more-threads later to maint).
* "git restore/checkout --no-overlay" with wildcarded pathspec
mistakenly removed matching paths in subdirectories, which has been
corrected.
(merge bfda204ade rs/checkout-no-overlay-pathspec-fix later to maint).
* The description of --cached/--index options in "git apply --help"
has been updated.
(merge d064702be3 rp/apply-cached-doc later to maint).
* Feeding "$ZERO_OID" to "git log --ignore-missing --stdin", and
running "git log --ignore-missing $ZERO_OID" fell back to start
digging from HEAD; it has been corrected to become a no-op, like
"git log --tags=no-tag-matches-this-pattern" does.
(merge 04a0e98515 jk/rev-input-given-fix later to maint).
* Various callers of run_command API have been modernized.
(merge afbdba391e jc/run-command-use-embedded-args later to maint).
* List of options offered and accepted by "git add -i/-p" were
inconsistent, which have been corrected.
(merge ce910287e7 pw/add-p-allowed-options-fix later to maint).
* "git diff --stat -w" showed 0-line changes for paths whose changes
were only whitespaces, which was not intuitive. We now omit such
paths from the stat output.
(merge 1cf3d5db9b mr/diff-hide-stat-wo-textual-change later to maint).
* It was possible for xrealloc() to send a non-NULL pointer that has
been freed, which has been fixed.
(merge 6479ea4a8a jk/xrealloc-avoid-use-after-free later to maint).
* "git status" has trouble showing where it came from by interpreting
reflog entries that record certain events, e.g. "checkout @{u}", and
gives a hard/fatal error. Even though it inherently is impossible
to give a correct answer because the reflog entries lose some
information (e.g. "@{u}" does not record what branch the user was
on hence which branch 'the upstream' needs to be computed, and even
if the record were available, the relationship between branches may
have changed), at least hide the error and allow "status" to show its
output.
* "git status --short" quoted a path with SP in it when tracked, but
not those that are untracked, ignored or unmerged. They are all
shown quoted consistently.
* "git diff/show" on a change that involves a submodule used to read
the information on commits in the submodule from a wrong repository
and gave a wrong information when the commit-graph is involved.
(merge 85a1ec2c32 mf/submodule-summary-with-correct-repository later to maint).
* Unlike "git config --local", "git config --worktree" did not fail
early and cleanly when started outside a git repository.
(merge 378fe5fc3d mt/config-fail-nongit-early later to maint).
* There is a logic to estimate how many objects are in the
repository, which is meant to run once per process invocation, but
it ran every time the estimated value was requested.
(merge 67bb65de5d jk/dont-count-existing-objects-twice later to maint).
* "git remote set-head" that failed still said something that hints
the operation went through, which was misleading.
(merge 5a07c6c3c2 cs/don-t-pretend-a-failed-remote-set-head-succeeded later to maint).
* "git fetch --all --ipv4/--ipv6" forgot to pass the protocol options
to instances of the "git fetch" that talk to individual remotes,
which has been corrected.
(merge 4e735c1326 ar/fetch-ipversion-in-all later to maint).
* The "unshelve" subcommand of "git p4" incorrectly used commit^N
where it meant to say commit~N to name the Nth generation
ancestor, which has been corrected.
(merge 0acbf5997f ld/p4-unshelve-fix later to maint).
* "git clone" that clones from SHA-1 repository, while
GIT_DEFAULT_HASH set to use SHA-256 already, resulted in an
unusable repository that half-claims to be SHA-256 repository
with SHA-1 objects and refs. This has been corrected.
* Adjust sample hooks for hash algorithm other than SHA-1.
(merge d8d3d632f4 dl/zero-oid-in-hooks later to maint).
* "git range-diff" showed incorrect diffstat, which has been
corrected.
* Earlier we taught "git pull" to warn when the user does not say the
histories need to be merged, rebased or accepts only fast-
forwarding, but the warning triggered for those who have set the
pull.ff configuration variable.
(merge 54200cef86 ah/pull later to maint).
* Compilation fix around type punning.
(merge 176380fd11 jk/drop-unaligned-loads later to maint).
* "git blame --ignore-rev/--ignore-revs-file" failed to validate
their input are valid revision, and failed to take into account
that the user may want to give an annotated tag instead of a
commit, which has been corrected.
(merge 610e2b9240 jc/blame-ignore-fix later to maint).
* "git bisect start X Y", when X and Y are not valid committish
object names, should take X and Y as pathspec, but didn't.
(merge 73c6de06af cc/bisect-start-fix later to maint).
* The explanation of the "scissors line" has been clarified.
(merge 287416dba6 eg/mailinfo-doc-scissors later to maint).
* A race that leads to an access to a free'd data was corrected in
the codepath that reads pack files.
(merge bda959c476 mt/delta-base-cache-races later to maint).
* in_merge_bases_many(), a way to see if a commit is reachable from
any commit in a set of commits, was totally broken when the
commit-graph feature was in use, which has been corrected.
(merge 8791bf1841 ds/in-merge-bases-many-optim-bug later to maint).
* "git submodule update --quiet" did not squelch underlying "rebase"
and "pull" commands.
(merge 3ad0401e9e td/submodule-update-quiet later to maint).
* The lazy fetching done internally to make missing objects available
in a partial clone incorrectly made permanent damage to the partial
clone filter in the repository, which has been corrected.
* "log -c --find-object=X" did not work well to find a merge that
involves a change to an object X from only one parent.
(merge 957876f17d jk/diff-cc-oidfind-fix later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

Update to 2.22.0
Changelog:
Git 2.22 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.21
-------------------
Backward compatibility note
* The filter specification "--filter=sparse:path=<path>" used to
create a lazy/partial clone has been removed. Using a blob that is
part of the project as sparse specification is still supported with
the "--filter=sparse:oid=<blob>" option.
UI, Workflows & Features
* "git checkout --no-overlay" can be used to trigger a new mode of
checking out paths out of the tree-ish, that allows paths that
match the pathspec that are in the current index and working tree
and are not in the tree-ish.
* The %(trailers) formatter in "git log --format=..." now allows to
optionally pick trailers selectively by keyword, show only values,
etc.
* Four new configuration variables {author,committer}.{name,email}
have been introduced to override user.{name,email} in more specific
cases.
* Command-line completion (in contrib/) learned to tab-complete the
"git submodule absorbgitdirs" subcommand.
* "git branch" learned a new subcommand "--show-current".
* Output from "diff --cc" did not show the original paths when the
merge involved renames. A new option adds the paths in the
original trees to the output.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught to
complete more subcommand parameters.
* The final report from "git bisect" used to show the suspected
culprit using a raw "diff-tree", with which there is no output for
a merge commit. This has been updated to use a more modern and
human readable output that still is concise enough.
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" replaces its old "--preserve-merges"
option; the latter is now marked as deprecated.
* Error message given while cloning with --recurse-submodules has
been updated.
* The completion helper code now pays attention to repository-local
configuration (when available), which allows --list-cmds to honour
a repository specific setting of completion.commands, for example.
* "git mergetool" learned to offer Sublime Merge (smerge) as one of
its backends.
* A new hook "post-index-change" is called when the on-disk index
file changes, which can help e.g. a virtualized working tree
implementation.
* "git difftool" can now run outside a repository.
* "git checkout -m <other>" was about carrying the differences
between HEAD and the working-tree files forward while checking out
another branch, and ignored the differences between HEAD and the
index. The command has been taught to abort when the index and the
HEAD are different.
* A progress indicator has been added to the "index-pack" step, which
often makes users wait for completion during "git clone".
* "git submodule" learns "set-branch" subcommand that allows the
submodule.*.branch settings to be modified.
* "git merge-recursive" backend recently learned a new heuristics to
infer file movement based on how other files in the same directory
moved. As this is inherently less robust heuristics than the one
based on the content similarity of the file itself (rather than
based on what its neighbours are doing), it sometimes gives an
outcome unexpected by the end users. This has been toned down to
leave the renamed paths in higher/conflicted stages in the index so
that the user can examine and confirm the result.
* "git tag" learned to give an advice suggesting it might be a
mistake when creating an annotated or signed tag that points at
another tag.
* The "git pack-objects" command learned to report the number of
objects it packed via the trace2 mechanism.
* The list of conflicted paths shown in the editor while concluding a
conflicted merge was shown above the scissors line when the
clean-up mode is set to "scissors", even though it was commented
out just like the list of updated paths and other information to
help the user explain the merge better.
* The trace2 tracing facility learned to auto-generate a filename
when told to log to a directory.
* "git clone" learned a new --server-option option when talking over
the protocol version 2.
* The connectivity bitmaps are created by default in bare
repositories now; also the pathname hash-cache is created by
default to avoid making crappy deltas when repacking.
* "git branch new A...B" and "git checkout -b new A...B" have been
taught that in their contexts, the notation A...B means "the merge
base between these two commits", just like "git checkout A...B"
detaches HEAD at that commit.
* Update "git difftool" and "git mergetool" so that the combinations
of {diff,merge}.{tool,guitool} configuration variables serve as
fallback settings of each other in a sensible order.
* The "--dir-diff" mode of "git difftool" is not useful in "--no-index"
mode; they are now explicitly marked as mutually incompatible.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The diff machinery, one of the oldest parts of the system, which
long predates the parse-options API, uses fairly long and complex
handcrafted option parser. This is being rewritten to use the
parse-options API.
* The implementation of pack-redundant has been updated for
performance in a repository with many packfiles.
* A more structured way to obtain execution trace has been added.
* "git prune" has been taught to take advantage of reachability
bitmap when able.
* The command line parser of "git commit-tree" has been rewritten to
use the parse-options API.
* Suggest GitGitGadget instead of submitGit as a way to submit
patches based on GitHub PR to us.
* The test framework has been updated to help developers by making it
easier to run most of the tests under different versions of
over-the-wire protocols.
* Dev support update to make it easier to compare two formatted
results from our documentation.
* The scripted "git rebase" implementation has been retired.
* "git multi-pack-index verify" did not scale well with the number of
packfiles, which is being improved.
* "git stash" has been rewritten in C.
* The "check-docs" Makefile target to support developers has been
updated.
* The tests have been updated not to rely on the abbreviated option
names the parse-options API offers, to protect us from an
abbreviated form of an option that used to be unique within the
command getting non-unique when a new option that share the same
prefix is added.
* The scripted version of "git rebase -i" wrote and rewrote the todo
list many times during a single step of its operation, and the
recent C-rewrite made a faithful conversion of the logic to C. The
implementation has been updated to carry necessary information
around in-core to avoid rewriting the same file over and over
unnecessarily.
* Test framework update to more robustly clean up leftover files and
processes after tests are done.
* Conversion from unsigned char[20] to struct object_id continues.
* While running "git diff" in a lazy clone, we can upfront know which
missing blobs we will need, instead of waiting for the on-demand
machinery to discover them one by one. The code learned to aim to
achieve better performance by batching the request for these
promised blobs.
* During an initial "git clone --depth=..." partial clone, it is
pointless to spend cycles for a large portion of the connectivity
check that enumerates and skips promisor objects (which by
definition is all objects fetched from the other side). This has
been optimized out.
* Mechanically and systematically drop "extern" from function
declaration.
* The script to aggregate perf result unconditionally depended on
libjson-perl even though it did not have to, which has been
corrected.
* The internal implementation of "git rebase -i" has been updated to
avoid forking a separate "rebase--interactive" process.
* Allow DEP and ASLR for Windows build to for security hardening.
* Performance test framework has been broken and measured the version
of Git that happens to be on $PATH, not the specified one to
measure, for a while, which has been corrected.
* Optionally "make coccicheck" can feed multiple source files to
spatch, gaining performance while spending more memory.
* Attempt to use an abbreviated option in "git clone --recurs" is
responded by a request to disambiguate between --recursive and
--recurse-submodules, which is bad because these two are synonyms.
The parse-options API has been extended to define such synonyms
more easily and not produce an unnecessary failure.
* A pair of private functions in http.c that had names similar to
fread/fwrite did not return the number of elements, which was found
to be confusing.
* Update collision-detecting SHA-1 code to build properly on HP-UX.
Fixes since v2.21
-----------------
* "git prune-packed" did not notice and complain against excess
arguments given from the command line, which now it does.
(merge 9b0bd87ed2 rj/prune-packed-excess-args later to maint).
* Split-index fix.
(merge 6e37c8ed3c nd/split-index-null-base-fix later to maint).
* "git diff --no-index" may still want to access Git goodies like
--ext-diff and --textconv, but so far these have been ignored,
which has been corrected.
(merge 287ab28bfa jk/diff-no-index-initialize later to maint).
* Unify RPC code for smart http in protocol v0/v1 and v2, which fixes
a bug in the latter (lack of authentication retry) and generally
improves the code base.
(merge a97d00799a jt/http-auth-proto-v2-fix later to maint).
* The include file compat/bswap.h has been updated so that it is safe
to (accidentally) include it more than once.
(merge 33aa579a55 jk/guard-bswap-header later to maint).
* The set of header files used by "make hdr-check" unconditionally
included sha256/gcrypt.h, even when it is not used, causing the
make target to fail. We now skip it when GCRYPT_SHA256 is not in
use.
(merge f23aa18e7f rj/hdr-check-gcrypt-fix later to maint).
* The Makefile uses 'find' utility to enumerate all the *.h header
files, which is expensive on platforms with slow filesystems; it
now optionally uses "ls-files" if working within a repository,
which is a trick similar to how all sources are enumerated to run
ETAGS on.
(merge 92b88eba9f js/find-lib-h-with-ls-files-when-possible later to maint).
* "git rebase" that was reimplemented in C did not set ORIG_HEAD
correctly, which has been corrected.
(merge cbd29ead92 js/rebase-orig-head-fix later to maint).
* Dev support.
(merge f545737144 js/stress-test-ui-tweak later to maint).
* CFLAGS now can be tweaked when invoking Make while using
DEVELOPER=YesPlease; this did not work well before.
(merge 6d5d4b4e93 ab/makefile-help-devs-more later to maint).
* "git fsck --connectivity-only" omits computation necessary to sift
the objects that are not reachable from any of the refs into
unreachable and dangling. This is now enabled when dangling
objects are requested (which is done by default, but can be
overridden with the "--no-dangling" option).
(merge 8d8c2a5aef jk/fsck-doc later to maint).
* On platforms where "git fetch" is killed with SIGPIPE (e.g. OSX),
the upload-pack that runs on the other end that hangs up after
detecting an error could cause "git fetch" to die with a signal,
which led to a flaky test. "git fetch" now ignores SIGPIPE during
the network portion of its operation (this is not a problem as we
check the return status from our write(2)s).
(merge 143588949c jk/no-sigpipe-during-network-transport later to maint).
* A recent update broke "is this object available to us?" check for
well-known objects like an empty tree (which should yield "yes",
even when there is no on-disk object for an empty tree), which has
been corrected.
(merge f06ab027ef jk/virtual-objects-do-exist later to maint).
* The setup code has been cleaned up to avoid leaks around the
repository_format structure.
(merge e8805af1c3 ma/clear-repository-format later to maint).
* "git config --type=color ..." is meant to replace "git config --get-color"
but there is a slight difference that wasn't documented, which is
now fixed.
(merge cd8e7593b9 jk/config-type-color-ends-with-lf later to maint).
* When the "clean" filter can reduce the size of a huge file in the
working tree down to a small "token" (a la Git LFS), there is no
point in allocating a huge scratch area upfront, but the buffer is
sized based on the original file size. The convert mechanism now
allocates very minimum and reallocates as it receives the output
from the clean filter process.
(merge 02156ab031 jh/resize-convert-scratch-buffer later to maint).
* "git rebase" uses the refs/rewritten/ hierarchy to store its
intermediate states, which inherently makes the hierarchy per
worktree, but it didn't quite work well.
(merge b9317d55a3 nd/rewritten-ref-is-per-worktree later to maint).
* "git log -L<from>,<to>:<path>" with "-s" did not suppress the patch
output as it should. This has been corrected.
(merge 05314efaea jk/line-log-with-patch later to maint).
* "git worktree add" used to do a "find an available name with stat
and then mkdir", which is race-prone. This has been fixed by using
mkdir and reacting to EEXIST in a loop.
(merge 7af01f2367 ms/worktree-add-atomic-mkdir later to maint).
* Build update for SHA-1 with collision detection.
(merge 07a20f569b jk/sha1dc later to maint).
* Build procedure has been fixed around use of asciidoctor instead of
asciidoc.
(merge 185f9a0ea0 ma/asciidoctor-fixes later to maint).
* remote-http transport did not anonymize URLs reported in its error
messages at places.
(merge c1284b21f2 js/anonymize-remote-curl-diag later to maint).
* Error messages given from the http transport have been updated so
that they can be localized.
(merge ed8b4132c8 js/remote-curl-i18n later to maint).
* "git init" forgot to read platform-specific repository
configuration, which made Windows port to ignore settings of
core.hidedotfiles, for example.
* A corner-case object name ambiguity while the sequencer machinery
is working (e.g. "rebase -i -x") has been fixed.
* "git format-patch" did not diagnose an error while opening the
output file for the cover-letter, which has been corrected.
(merge 2fe95f494c jc/format-patch-error-check later to maint).
* "git checkout -f <branch>" while the index has an unmerged path
incorrectly left some paths in an unmerged state, which has been
corrected.
* A corner case bug in the refs API has been corrected.
(merge d3322eb28b jk/refs-double-abort later to maint).
* Unicode update.
(merge 584b62c37b bb/unicode-12 later to maint).
* dumb-http walker has been updated to share more error recovery
strategy with the normal codepath.
* A buglet in configuration parser has been fixed.
(merge 19e7fdaa58 nd/include-if-wildmatch later to maint).
* The documentation for "git read-tree --reset -u" has been updated.
(merge b5a0bd694c nd/read-tree-reset-doc later to maint).
* Code clean-up around a much-less-important-than-it-used-to-be
update_server_info() function.
(merge b3223761c8 jk/server-info-rabbit-hole later to maint).
* The message given when "git commit -a <paths>" errors out has been
updated.
(merge 5a1dbd48bc nd/commit-a-with-paths-msg-update later to maint).
* "git cherry-pick --options A..B", after giving control back to the
user to ask help resolving a conflicted step, did not honor the
options it originally received, which has been corrected.
* Various glitches in "git gc" around reflog handling have been fixed.
* The code to read from commit-graph file has been cleanup with more
careful error checking before using data read from it.
* Performance fix around "git fetch" that grabs many refs.
(merge b764300912 jt/fetch-pack-wanted-refs-optim later to maint).
* Protocol v2 support in "git fetch-pack" of shallow clones has been
corrected.
* Performance fix around "git blame", especially in a linear history
(which is the norm we should optimize for).
(merge f892014943 dk/blame-keep-origin-blob later to maint).
* Performance fix for "rev-list --parents -- pathspec".
(merge 8320b1dbe7 jk/revision-rewritten-parents-in-prio-queue later to maint).
* Updating the display with progress message has been cleaned up to
deal better with overlong messages.
(merge 545dc345eb sg/overlong-progress-fix later to maint).
* "git blame -- path" in a non-bare repository starts blaming from
the working tree, and the same command in a bare repository errors
out because there is no working tree by definition. The command
has been taught to instead start blaming from the commit at HEAD,
which is more useful.
(merge a544fb08f8 sg/blame-in-bare-start-at-head later to maint).
* An underallocation in the code to read the untracked cache
extension has been corrected.
(merge 3a7b45a623 js/untracked-cache-allocfix later to maint).
* The code is updated to check the result of memory allocation before
it is used in more places, by using xmalloc and/or xcalloc calls.
(merge 999b951b28 jk/xmalloc later to maint).
* The GETTEXT_POISON test option has been quite broken ever since it
was made runtime-tunable, which has been fixed.
(merge f88b9cb603 jc/gettext-test-fix later to maint).
* Test fix on APFS that is incapable of store paths in Latin-1.
(merge 3889149619 js/iso8895-test-on-apfs later to maint).
* "git submodule foreach <command> --quiet" did not pass the option
down correctly, which has been corrected.
(merge a282f5a906 nd/submodule-foreach-quiet later to maint).
* "git send-email" has been taught to use quoted-printable when the
payload contains carriage-return. The use of the mechanism is in
line with the design originally added the codepath that chooses QP
when the payload has overly long lines.
(merge 74d76a1701 bc/send-email-qp-cr later to maint).
* The recently added feature to add addresses that are on
anything-by: trailers in 'git send-email' was found to be way too
eager and considered nonsense strings as if they can be legitimate
beginning of *-by: trailer. This has been tightened.
* Builds with gettext broke on recent macOS w/ Homebrew, which
seems to have stopped including from /usr/local/include; this
has been corrected.
(merge 92a1377a2a js/macos-gettext-build later to maint).
* Running "git add" on a repository created inside the current
repository is an explicit indication that the user wants to add it
as a submodule, but when the HEAD of the inner repository is on an
unborn branch, it cannot be added as a submodule. Worse, the files
in its working tree can be added as if they are a part of the outer
repository, which is not what the user wants. These problems are
being addressed.
(merge f937bc2f86 km/empty-repo-is-still-a-repo later to maint).
* "git cherry-pick" run with the "-x" or the "--signoff" option used
to (and more importantly, ought to) clean up the commit log message
with the --cleanup=space option by default, but this has been
broken since late 2017. This has been fixed.
* When given a tag that points at a commit-ish, "git replace --graft"
failed to peel the tag before writing a replace ref, which did not
make sense because the old graft mechanism the feature wants to
mimic only allowed to replace one commit object with another.
This has been fixed.
(merge ee521ec4cb cc/replace-graft-peel-tags later to maint).
* Code tightening against a "wrong" object appearing where an object
of a different type is expected, instead of blindly assuming that
the connection between objects are correctly made.
(merge 97dd512af7 tb/unexpected later to maint).
* An earlier update for MinGW and Cygwin accidentally broke MSVC build,
which has been fixed.
(merge 22c3634c0f ss/msvc-path-utils-fix later to maint).
* %(push:track) token used in the --format option to "git
for-each-ref" and friends was not showing the right branch, which
has been fixed.
(merge c646d0934e dr/ref-filter-push-track-fix later to maint).
* "make check-docs", "git help -a", etc. did not account for cases
where a particular build may deliberately omit some subcommands,
which has been corrected.
* The logic to tell if a Git repository has a working tree protects
"git branch -D" from removing the branch that is currently checked
out by mistake. The implementation of this logic was broken for
repositories with unusual name, which unfortunately is the norm for
submodules these days. This has been fixed.
(merge f3534c98e4 jt/submodule-repo-is-with-worktree later to maint).
* AIX shared the same build issues with other BSDs around fileno(fp),
which has been corrected.
(merge ee662bf5c6 cc/aix-has-fileno-as-a-macro later to maint).
* The autoconf generated configure script failed to use the right
gettext() implementations from -libintl by ignoring useless stub
implementations shipped in some C library, which has been
corrected.
(merge b71e56a683 vk/autoconf-gettext later to maint).
* Fix index-pack perf test so that the repeated invocations always
run in an empty repository, which emulates the initial clone
situation better.
(merge 775c71e16d jk/p5302-avoid-collision-check-cost later to maint).
* A "ls-files" that emulates "find" to enumerate files in the working
tree resulted in duplicated Makefile rules that caused the build to
issue an unnecessary warning during a trial build after merge
conflicts are resolved in working tree *.h files but before the
resolved results are added to the index. This has been corrected.
* "git cherry-pick" (and "revert" that shares the same runtime engine)
that deals with multiple commits got confused when the final step
gets stopped with a conflict and the user concluded the sequence
with "git commit". Attempt to fix it by cleaning up the state
files used by these commands in such a situation.
(merge 4a72486de9 pw/clean-sequencer-state-upon-final-commit later to maint).
* On a filesystem like HFS+, the names of the refs stored as filesystem
entities may become different from what the end-user expects, just
like files in the working tree get "renamed". Work around the
mismatch by paying attention to the core.precomposeUnicode
configuration.
(merge 8e712ef6fc en/unicode-in-refnames later to maint).
* The code to generate the multi-pack idx file was not prepared to
see too many packfiles and ran out of open file descriptor, which
has been corrected.
* To run tests for Git SVN, our scripts for CI used to install the
git-svn package (in the hope that it would bring in the right
dependencies). This has been updated to install the more direct
dependency, namely, libsvn-perl.
(merge db864306cf sg/ci-libsvn-perl later to maint).
* "git cvsexportcommit" running on msys did not expect cvsnt showed
"cvs status" output with CRLF line endings.
* The fsmonitor interface got out of sync after the in-core index
file gets discarded, which has been corrected.
(merge 398a3b0899 js/fsmonitor-refresh-after-discarding-index later to maint).
* "git status" did not know that the "label" instruction in the
todo-list "rebase -i -r" uses should not be shown as a hex object
name.
* A prerequisite check in the test suite to see if a working jgit is
available was made more robust.
(merge abd0f28983 tz/test-lib-check-working-jgit later to maint).
* The codepath to parse :<path> that obtains the object name for an
indexed object has been made more robust.
* Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge 11f470aee7 jc/test-yes-doc later to maint).

Changes 2.5.0:
UI, Workflows & Features
* The bash completion script (in contrib/) learned a few options that
"git revert" takes.
* Whitespace breakages in deleted and context lines can also be
painted in the output of "git diff" and friends with the new
--ws-error-highlight option.
* List of commands shown by "git help" are grouped along the workflow
elements to help early learners.
* "git p4" now detects the filetype (e.g. binary) correctly even when
the files are opened exclusively.
* git p4 attempts to better handle branches in Perforce.
* "git p4" learned "--changes-block-size <n>" to read the changes in
chunks from Perforce, instead of making one call to "p4 changes"
that may trigger "too many rows scanned" error from Perforce.
* More workaround for Perforce's row number limit in "git p4".
* Unlike "$EDITOR" and "$GIT_EDITOR" that can hold the path to the
command and initial options (e.g. "/path/to/emacs -nw"), 'git p4'
did not let the shell interpolate the contents of the environment
variable that name the editor "$P4EDITOR" (and "$EDITOR", too).
This release makes it in line with the rest of Git, as well as with
Perforce.
* A new short-hand <branch>@{push} denotes the remote-tracking branch
that tracks the branch at the remote the <branch> would be pushed
to.
* "git show-branch --topics HEAD" (with no other arguments) did not
do anything interesting. Instead, contrast the given revision
against all the local branches by default.
* A replacement for contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir that does not
rely on symbolic links and make sharing of objects and refs safer
by making the borrowee and borrowers aware of each other.
Consider this as still an experimental feature; its UI is still
likely to change.
* Tweak the sample "store" backend of the credential helper to honor
XDG configuration file locations when specified.
* A heuristic we use to catch mistyped paths on the command line
"git <cmd> <revs> <pathspec>" is to make sure that all the non-rev
parameters in the later part of the command line are names of the
files in the working tree, but that means "git grep $str -- \*.c"
must always be disambiguated with "--", because nobody sane will
create a file whose name literally is asterisk-dot-see. Loosen the
heuristic to declare that with a wildcard string the user likely
meant to give us a pathspec.
* "git merge FETCH_HEAD" learned that the previous "git fetch" could
be to create an Octopus merge, i.e. recording multiple branches
that are not marked as "not-for-merge"; this allows us to lose an
old style invocation "git merge <msg> HEAD $commits..." in the
implementation of "git pull" script; the old style syntax can now
be deprecated (but not removed yet).
* Filter scripts were run with SIGPIPE disabled on the Git side,
expecting that they may not read what Git feeds them to filter.
We however treated a filter that does not read its input fully
before exiting as an error. We no longer do and ignore EPIPE
when writing to feed the filter scripts.
This changes semantics, but arguably in a good way. If a filter
can produce its output without fully consuming its input using
whatever magic, we now let it do so, instead of diagnosing it
as a programming error.
* Instead of dying immediately upon failing to obtain a lock, the
locking (of refs etc) retries after a short while with backoff.
* Introduce http.<url>.SSLCipherList configuration variable to tweak
the list of cipher suite to be used with libcURL when talking with
https:// sites.
* "git subtree" script (in contrib/) used "echo -n" to produce
progress messages in a non-portable way.
* "git subtree" script (in contrib/) does not have --squash option
when pushing, but the documentation and help text pretended as if
it did.
* The Git subcommand completion (in contrib/) no longer lists credential
helpers among candidates; they are not something the end user would
invoke interactively.
* The index file can be taught with "update-index --untracked-cache"
to optionally remember already seen untracked files, in order to
speed up "git status" in a working tree with tons of cruft.
* "git mergetool" learned to drive WinMerge as a backend.
* "git upload-pack" that serves "git fetch" can be told to serve
commits that are not at the tip of any ref, as long as they are
reachable from a ref, with uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant
configuration variable.

git: updated to 2.16.0
Git 2.16 Release Notes
Backward compatibility notes and other notable changes.
* Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for
'everything matches' is now an error.
Updates since v2.15
UI, Workflows & Features
* An empty string as a pathspec element that means "everything"
i.e. 'git add ""', is now illegal. We started this by first
deprecating and warning a pathspec that has such an element in
2.11 (Nov 2016).
* A hook script that is set unexecutable is simply ignored. Git
notifies when such a file is ignored, unless the message is
squelched via advice.ignoredHook configuration.
* "git pull" has been taught to accept "--[no-]signoff" option and
pass it down to "git merge".
* The "--push-option=<string>" option to "git push" now defaults to a
list of strings configured via push.pushOption variable.
* "gitweb" checks if a directory is searchable with Perl's "-x"
operator, which can be enhanced by using "filetest 'access'"
pragma, which now we do.
* "git stash save" has been deprecated in favour of "git stash push".
* The set of paths output from "git status --ignored" was tied
closely with its "--untracked=<mode>" option, but now it can be
controlled more flexibly. Most notably, a directory that is
ignored because it is listed to be ignored in the ignore/exclude
mechanism can be handled differently from a directory that ends up
to be ignored only because all files in it are ignored.
* The remote-helper for talking to MediaWiki has been updated to
truncate an overlong pagename so that ".mw" suffix can still be
added.
* The remote-helper for talking to MediaWiki has been updated to
work with mediawiki namespaces.
* The "--format=..." option "git for-each-ref" takes learned to show
the name of the 'remote' repository and the ref at the remote side
that is affected for 'upstream' and 'push' via "%(push:remotename)"
and friends.
* Doc and message updates to teach users "bisect view" is a synonym
for "bisect visualize".
* "git bisect run" that did not specify any command to run used to go
ahead and treated all commits to be tested as 'good'. This has
been corrected by making the command error out.
* The SubmittingPatches document has been converted to produce an
HTML version via AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor.
* We learned to optionally talk to a file system monitor via new
fsmonitor extension to speed up "git status" and other operations
that need to see which paths have been modified. Currently we only
support "watchman". See File System Monitor section of
git-update-index(1) for more detail.
* The "diff" family of commands learned to ignore differences in
carriage return at the end of line.
* Places that know about "sendemail.to", like documentation and shell
completion (in contrib/) have been taught about "sendemail.tocmd",
too.
* "git add --renormalize ." is a new and safer way to record the fact
that you are correcting the end-of-line convention and other
"convert_to_git()" glitches in the in-repository data.
* "git branch" and "git checkout -b" are now forbidden from creating
a branch whose name is "HEAD".
* "git branch --list" learned to show its output through the pager by
default when the output is going to a terminal, which is controlled
by the pager.branch configuration variable. This is similar to a
recent change to "git tag --list".
* "git grep -W", "git diff -W" and their friends learned a heuristic
to extend a pre-context beyond the line that matches the "function
pattern" (aka "diff.*.xfuncname") to include a comment block, if
exists, that immediately precedes it.
* "git config --expiry-date gc.reflogexpire" can read "2.weeks" from
the configuration and report it as a timestamp, just like "--int"
would read "1k" and report 1024, to help consumption by scripts.
* The shell completion (in contrib/) learned that "git pull" can take
the "--autostash" option.
* The tagnames "git log --decorate" uses to annotate the commits can
now be limited to subset of available refs with the two additional
options, --decorate-refs[-exclude]=<pattern>.
* "git grep" compiled with libpcre2 sometimes triggered a segfault,
which is being fixed.
* "git send-email" tries to see if the sendmail program is available
in /usr/lib and /usr/sbin; extend the list of locations to be
checked to also include directories on $PATH.
* "git diff" learned, "--anchored", a variant of the "--patience"
algorithm, to which the user can specify which 'unique' line to be
used as anchoring points.
* The way "git worktree add" determines what branch to create from
where and checkout in the new worktree has been updated a bit.
* Ancient part of codebase still shows dots after an abbreviated
object name just to show that it is not a full object name, but
these ellipses are confusing to people who newly discovered Git
who are used to seeing abbreviated object names and find them
confusing with the range syntax.
* With a configuration variable rebase.abbreviateCommands set,
"git rebase -i" produces the todo list with a single-letter
command names.
* "git worktree add" learned to run the post-checkout hook, just like
"git checkout" does, after the initial checkout.
* "git svn" has been updated to strip CRs in the commit messages, as
recent versions of Subversion rejects them.
* "git imap-send" did not correctly quote the folder name when
making a request to the server, which has been corrected.
* Error messages from "git rebase" have been somewhat cleaned up.
* Git has been taught to support an https:// URL used for http.proxy
when using recent versions of libcurl.
* "git merge" learned to pay attention to merge.verifySignatures
configuration variable and pretend as if '--verify-signatures'
option was given from the command line.
* "git describe" was taught to dig trees deeper to find a
<commit-ish>:<path> that refers to a given blob object.

git: updated to 2.24.0
Git 2.24 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.23
-------------------
Backward compatibility note
* "filter-branch" is showing its age and alternatives are available.
From this release, we started to discourage its use and hint
people about filter-repo.
UI, Workflows & Features
* We now have an active interim maintainer for the Git-Gui part of
the system. Praise and thank Pratyush Yadav for volunteering.
* The command line parser learned "--end-of-options" notation; the
standard convention for scripters to have hardcoded set of options
first on the command line, and force the command to treat end-user
input as non-options, has been to use "--" as the delimiter, but
that would not work for commands that use "--" as a delimiter
between revs and pathspec.
* A mechanism to affect the default setting for a (related) group of
configuration variables is introduced.
* "git fetch" learned "--set-upstream" option to help those who first
clone from their private fork they intend to push to, add the true
upstream via "git remote add" and then "git fetch" from it.
* Device-tree files learned their own userdiff patterns.
(merge 3c81760bc6 sb/userdiff-dts later to maint).
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" learned to drive different merge
strategies and pass strategy specific options to them.
* A new "pre-merge-commit" hook has been introduced.
* Command line completion updates for "git -c var.name=val" have been
added.
* The lazy clone machinery has been taught that there can be more
than one promisor remote and consult them in order when downloading
missing objects on demand.
* The list-objects-filter API (used to create a sparse/lazy clone)
learned to take a combined filter specification.
* The documentation and tests for "git format-patch" have been
cleaned up.
* On Windows, the root level of UNC share is now allowed to be used
just like any other directory.
* The command line completion support (in contrib/) learned about the
"--skip" option of "git revert" and "git cherry-pick".
* "git rebase --keep-base <upstream>" tries to find the original base
of the topic being rebased and rebase on top of that same base,
which is useful when running the "git rebase -i" (and its limited
variant "git rebase -x").
The command also has learned to fast-forward in more cases where it
can instead of replaying to recreate identical commits.
* A configuration variable tells "git fetch" to write the commit
graph after finishing.
* "git add -i" has been taught to show the total number of hunks and
the hunks that has been processed so far when showing prompts.
* "git fetch --jobs=<n>" allowed <n> parallel jobs when fetching
submodules, but this did not apply to "git fetch --multiple" that
fetches from multiple remote repositories. It now does.
* The installation instruction for zsh completion script (in
contrib/) has been a bit improved.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* The code to write commit-graph over given commit object names has
been made a bit more robust.
* The first line of verbose output from each test piece now carries
the test name and number to help scanning with eyeballs.
* Further clean-up of the initialization code.
* xmalloc() used to have a mechanism to ditch memory and address
space resources as the last resort upon seeing an allocation
failure from the underlying malloc(), which made the code complex
and thread-unsafe with dubious benefit, as major memory resource
users already do limit their uses with various other mechanisms.
It has been simplified away.
* Unnecessary full-tree diff in "git log -L" machinery has been
optimized away.
* The http transport lacked some optimization the native transports
learned to avoid unnecessary ref advertisement, which has been
corrected.
* Preparation for SHA-256 upgrade continues in the test department.
(merge 0c37c41d13 bc/hash-independent-tests-part-5 later to maint).
* The memory ownership model of the "git fast-import" got
straightened out.
* Output from trace2 subsystem is formatted more prettily now.
* The internal code originally invented for ".gitignore" processing
got reshuffled and renamed to make it less tied to "excluding" and
stress more that it is about "matching", as it has been reused for
things like sparse checkout specification that want to check if a
path is "included".
* "git stash" learned to write refreshed index back to disk.
* Coccinelle checks are done on more source files than before now.
* The cache-tree code has been taught to be less aggressive in
attempting to see if a tree object it computed already exists in
the repository.
* The code to parse and use the commit-graph file has been made more
robust against corrupted input.
* The hg-to-git script (in contrib/) has been updated to work with
Python 3.
* Update the way build artifacts in t/helper/ directory are ignored.
* Preparation for SHA-256 upgrade continues.
* "git log --graph" for an octopus merge is sometimes colored
incorrectly, which is demonstrated and documented but not yet
fixed.
* The trace2 output, when sending them to files in a designated
directory, can populate the directory with too many files; a
mechanism is introduced to set the maximum number of files and
discard further logs when the maximum is reached.
* We have adopted a Code-of-conduct document.
(merge 3f9ef874a7 jk/coc later to maint).
Fixes since v2.23
-----------------
* "git grep --recurse-submodules" that looks at the working tree
files looked at the contents in the index in submodules, instead of
files in the working tree.
(merge 6a289d45c0 mt/grep-submodules-working-tree later to maint).
* Codepaths to walk tree objects have been audited for integer
overflows and hardened.
(merge 5aa02f9868 jk/tree-walk-overflow later to maint).
* "git pack-refs" can lose refs that are created while running, which
is getting corrected.
(merge a613d4f817 sc/pack-refs-deletion-racefix later to maint).
* "git checkout" and "git restore" to re-populate the index from a
tree-ish (typically HEAD) did not work correctly for a path that
was removed and then added again with the intent-to-add bit, when
the corresponding working tree file was empty. This has been
corrected.
* Compilation fix.
(merge 70597e8386 rs/nedalloc-fixlets later to maint).
* "git gui" learned to call the clean-up procedure before exiting.
(merge 0d88f3d2c5 py/git-gui-do-quit later to maint).
* We promoted the "indent heuristics" that decides where to split
diff hunks from experimental to the default a few years ago, but
some stale documentation still marked it as experimental, which has
been corrected.
(merge 64e5e1fba1 sg/diff-indent-heuristic-non-experimental later to maint).
* Fix a mismerge that happened in 2.22 timeframe.
(merge acb7da05ac en/checkout-mismerge-fix later to maint).
* "git archive" recorded incorrect length in extended pax header in
some corner cases, which has been corrected.
(merge 71d41ff651 rs/pax-extended-header-length-fix later to maint).
* On-demand object fetching in lazy clone incorrectly tried to fetch
commits from submodule projects, while still working in the
superproject, which has been corrected.
(merge a63694f523 jt/diff-lazy-fetch-submodule-fix later to maint).
* Prepare get_short_oid() codepath to be thread-safe.
(merge 7cfcb16b0e rs/sort-oid-array-thread-safe later to maint).
* "for-each-ref" and friends that show refs did not protect themselves
against ancient tags that did not record tagger names when asked to
show "%(taggername)", which have been corrected.
(merge 8b3f33ef11 mp/for-each-ref-missing-name-or-email later to maint).
* The "git am" based backend of "git rebase" ignored the result of
updating ".gitattributes" done in one step when replaying
subsequent steps.
(merge 2c65d90f75 bc/reread-attributes-during-rebase later to maint).
* Tell cURL library to use the same malloc() implementation, with the
xmalloc() wrapper, as the rest of the system, for consistency.
(merge 93b980e58f cb/curl-use-xmalloc later to maint).
* Build fix to adjust .gitignore to unignore a path that we started to track.
(merge aac6ff7b5b js/visual-studio later to maint).
* A few implementation fixes in the notes API.
(merge 60fe477a0b mh/notes-duplicate-entries later to maint).
* Fix an earlier regression to "git push --all" which should have
been forbidden when the target remote repository is set to be a
mirror.
(merge 8e4c8af058 tg/push-all-in-mirror-forbidden later to maint).
* Fix an earlier regression in the test suite, which mistakenly
stopped running HTTPD tests.
(merge 3960290675 sg/git-test-boolean later to maint).
* "git rebase --autostash <upstream> <branch>", when <branch> is
different from the current branch, incorrectly moved the tip of the
current branch, which has been corrected.
(merge bf1e28e0ad bw/rebase-autostash-keep-current-branch later to maint).
* Update support for Asciidoctor documentation toolchain.
(merge 83b0b8953e ma/asciidoctor-refmiscinfo later to maint).
* Start using DocBook 5 (instead of DocBook 4.5) as Asciidoctor 2.0
no longer works with the older one.
(merge f6461b82b9 bc/doc-use-docbook-5 later to maint).
* The markup used in user-manual has been updated to work better with
asciidoctor.
(merge c4d2f6143a ma/user-manual-markup-update later to maint).
* Make sure the grep machinery does not abort when seeing a payload
that is not UTF-8 even when JIT is not in use with PCRE1.
(merge ad7c543e3b cb/skip-utf8-check-with-pcre1 later to maint).
* The name of the blob object that stores the filter specification
for sparse cloning/fetching was interpreted in a wrong place in the
code, causing Git to abort.
* "git log --decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>" was incorrectly
overruled when the "--simplify-by-decoration" option is used, which
has been corrected.
(merge 0cc7380d88 rs/simplify-by-deco-with-deco-refs-exclude later to maint).
* The "upload-pack" (the counterpart of "git fetch") needs to disable
commit-graph when responding to a shallow clone/fetch request, but
the way this was done made Git panic, which has been corrected.
* The object traversal machinery has been optimized not to load tree
objects when we are only interested in commit history.
(merge 72ed80c784 jk/list-objects-optim-wo-trees later to maint).
* The object name parser for "Nth parent" syntax has been made more
robust against integer overflows.
(merge 59fa5f5a25 rs/nth-parent-parse later to maint).
* The code used in following tags in "git fetch" has been optimized.
(merge b7e2d8bca5 ms/fetch-follow-tag-optim later to maint).
* Regression fix for progress output.
(merge 2bb74b53a4 sg/progress-fix later to maint).
* A bug in merge-recursive code that triggers when a branch with a
symbolic link is merged with a branch that replaces it with a
directory has been fixed.
(merge 83e3ad3b12 jt/merge-recursive-symlink-is-not-a-dir-in-way later to maint).
* The rename detection logic sorts a list of rename source candidates
by similarity to pick the best candidate, which means that a tie
between sources with the same similarity is broken by the original
location in the original candidate list (which is sorted by path).
Force the sorting by similarity done with a stable sort, which is
not promised by system supplied qsort(3), to ensure consistent
results across platforms.
(merge 2049b8dc65 js/diff-rename-force-stable-sort later to maint).
* The code to skip "UTF" and "UTF-" prefix, when computing an advice
message, did not work correctly when the prefix was "UTF", which
has been fixed.
(merge b181676ce9 rs/convert-fix-utf-without-dash later to maint).
* The author names taken from SVN repositories may have extra leading
or trailing whitespaces, which are now munged away.
(merge 4ddd4bddb1 tk/git-svn-trim-author-name later to maint).
* "git rebase -i" showed a wrong HEAD while "reword" open the editor.
(merge b0a3186140 pw/rebase-i-show-HEAD-to-reword later to maint).
* A few simplification and bugfixes to PCRE interface.
(merge c581e4a749 ab/pcre-jit-fixes later to maint).
* PCRE fixes.
(merge ff61681b46 cb/pcre1-cleanup later to maint).
* "git range-diff" segfaulted when diff.noprefix configuration was
used, as it blindly expected the patch it internally generates to
have the standard a/ and b/ prefixes. The command now forces the
internal patch to be built without any prefix, not to be affected
by any end-user configuration.
(merge 937b76ed49 js/range-diff-noprefix later to maint).
* "git stash apply" in a subdirectory of a secondary worktree failed
to access the worktree correctly, which has been corrected.
(merge dfd557c978 js/stash-apply-in-secondary-worktree later to maint).
* The merge-recursive machinery is one of the most complex parts of
the system that accumulated cruft over time. This large series
cleans up the implementation quite a bit.
(merge b657047719 en/merge-recursive-cleanup later to maint).
* Pretty-printed command line formatter (used in e.g. reporting the
command being run by the tracing API) had a bug that lost an
argument that is an empty string, which has been corrected.
(merge ce2d7ed2fd gs/sq-quote-buf-pretty later to maint).
* "git range-diff" failed to handle mode-only change, which has been
corrected.
(merge 2b6a9b13ca tg/range-diff-output-update later to maint).
* Dev support update.
(merge 4f3c1dc5d6 dl/allow-running-cocci-verbosely later to maint).
* "git format-patch -o <outdir>" did an equivalent of "mkdir <outdir>"
not "mkdir -p <outdir>", which was corrected.
* "git stash save" lost local changes to submodules, which has been
corrected.
(merge 556895d0c8 jj/stash-reset-only-toplevel later to maint).
* The atomic push over smart HTTP transport did not work, which has
been corrected.
(merge 6f1194246a bc/smart-http-atomic-push later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

Changes 2.10.0:
UI, Workflows & Features
* "git pull --rebase --verify-signature" learned to warn the user
that "--verify-signature" is a no-op when rebasing.
* An upstream project can make a recommendation to shallowly clone
some submodules in the .gitmodules file it ships.
* "git worktree add" learned that '-' can be used as a short-hand for
"@{-1}", the previous branch.
* Update the funcname definition to support css files.
* The completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete "git
status" options.
* Messages that are generated by auto gc during "git push" on the
receiving end are now passed back to the sending end in such a way
that they are shown with "remote: " prefix to avoid confusing the
users.
* "git add -i/-p" learned to honor diff.compactionHeuristic
experimental knob, so that the user can work on the same hunk split
as "git diff" output.
* "upload-pack" allows a custom "git pack-objects" replacement when
responding to "fetch/clone" via the uploadpack.packObjectsHook.
(merge b738396 jk/upload-pack-hook later to maint).
* Teach format-patch and mailsplit (hence "am") how a line that
happens to begin with "From " in the e-mail message is quoted with
">", so that these lines can be restored to their original shape.
(merge d9925d1 ew/mboxrd-format-am later to maint).
* "git repack" learned the "--keep-unreachable" option, which sends
loose unreachable objects to a pack instead of leaving them loose.
This helps heuristics based on the number of loose objects
(e.g. "gc --auto").
(merge e26a8c4 jk/repack-keep-unreachable later to maint).
* "log --graph --format=" learned that "%>|(N)" specifies the width
relative to the terminal's left edge, not relative to the area to
draw text that is to the right of the ancestry-graph section. It
also now accepts negative N that means the column limit is relative
to the right border.
* A careless invocation of "git send-email directory/" after editing
0001-change.patch with an editor often ends up sending both
0001-change.patch and its backup file, 0001-change.patch~, causing
embarrassment and a minor confusion. Detect such an input and
offer to skip the backup files when sending the patches out.
(merge 531220b jc/send-email-skip-backup later to maint).
* "git submodule update" that drives many "git clone" could
eventually hit flaky servers/network conditions on one of the
submodules; the command learned to retry the attempt.
* The output coloring scheme learned two new attributes, italic and
strike, in addition to existing bold, reverse, etc.
* "git log" learns log.showSignature configuration variable, and a
command line option "--no-show-signature" to countermand it.
(merge fce04c3 mj/log-show-signature-conf later to maint).
* More markings of messages for i18n, with updates to various tests
to pass GETTEXT_POISON tests.
* "git archive" learned to handle files that are larger than 8GB and
commits far in the future than expressible by the traditional US-TAR
format.
(merge 560b0e8 jk/big-and-future-archive-tar later to maint).
* A new configuration variable core.sshCommand has been added to
specify what value for GIT_SSH_COMMAND to use per repository.
* "git worktree prune" protected worktrees that are marked as
"locked" by creating a file in a known location. "git worktree"
command learned a dedicated command pair to create and remove such
a file, so that the users do not have to do this with editor.
* A handful of "git svn" updates.
* "git push" learned to accept and pass extra options to the
receiving end so that hooks can read and react to them.
* "git status" learned to suggest "merge --abort" during a conflicted
merge, just like it already suggests "rebase --abort" during a
conflicted rebase.
* "git jump" script (in contrib/) has been updated a bit.
(merge a91e692 jk/git-jump later to maint).
* "git push" and "git clone" learned to give better progress meters
to the end user who is waiting on the terminal.
* An entry "git log --decorate" for the tip of the current branch is
shown as "HEAD -> name" (where "name" is the name of the branch);
the arrow is now painted in the same color as "HEAD", not in the
color for commits.
* "git format-patch" learned format.from configuration variable to
specify the default settings for its "--from" option.
* "git am -3" calls "git merge-recursive" when it needs to fall back
to a three-way merge; this call has been turned into an internal
subroutine call instead of spawning a separate subprocess.
* The command line completion scripts (in contrib/) now knows about
"git branch --delete/--move [--remote]".
(merge 2703c22 vs/completion-branch-fully-spelled-d-m-r later to maint).
* "git rev-parse --git-path hooks/<hook>" learned to take
core.hooksPath configuration variable (introduced during 2.9 cycle)
into account.
(merge 9445b49 ab/hooks later to maint).
* "git log --show-signature" and other commands that display the
verification status of PGP signature now shows the longer key-id,
as 32-bit key-id is so last century.

git: updated to 2.30.0
Git 2.30 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.29
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Userdiff for PHP update.
* Userdiff for Rust update.
* Userdiff for CSS update.
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git
stash show" takes the options "git diff" takes.
* "git worktree list" now shows if each worktree is locked. This
possibly may open us to show other kinds of states in the future.
* "git maintenance", an extended big brother of "git gc", continues
to evolve.
* "git push --force-with-lease[=<ref>]" can easily be misused to lose
commits unless the user takes good care of their own "git fetch".
A new option "--force-if-includes" attempts to ensure that what is
being force-pushed was created after examining the commit at the
tip of the remote ref that is about to be force-replaced.
* "git clone" learned clone.defaultremotename configuration variable
to customize what nickname to use to call the remote the repository
was cloned from.
* "git checkout" learned to use checkout.guess configuration variable
and enable/disable its "--[no-]guess" option accordingly.
* "git resurrect" script (in contrib/) learned that the object names
may be longer than 40-hex depending on the hash function in use.
* "git diff A...B" learned "git diff --merge-base A B", which is a
longer short-hand to say the same thing.
* A sample 'push-to-checkout' hook, that performs the same as
what the built-in default action does, has been added.
* "git diff" family of commands learned the "-I<regex>" option to
ignore hunks whose changed lines all match the given pattern.
* The userdiff pattern learned to identify the function definition in
POSIX shells and bash.
* "git checkout-index" did not consistently signal an error with its
exit status, but now it does.
* A commit and tag object may have CR at the end of each and
every line (you can create such an object with hash-object or
using --cleanup=verbatim to decline the default clean-up
action), but it would make it impossible to have a blank line
to separate the title from the body of the message. We are now
more lenient and accept a line with lone CR on it as a blank line,
too.
* Exit codes from "git remote add" etc. were not usable by scripted
callers, but now they are.
* "git archive" now allows compression level higher than "-9"
when generating tar.gz output.
* Zsh autocompletion (in contrib/) update.
* The maximum length of output filenames "git format-patch" creates
has become configurable (used to be capped at 64).
* "git rev-parse" learned the "--end-of-options" to help scripts to
safely take a parameter that is supposed to be a revision, e.g.
"git rev-parse --verify -q --end-of-options $rev".
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to expand
commands that are alias of alias.
* "git update-ref --stdin" learns to take multiple transactions in a
single session.
* Various subcommands of "git config" that take value_regex
learned the "--literal-value" option to take the value_regex option
as a literal string.
* The transport layer was taught to optionally exchange the session
ID assigned by the trace2 subsystem during fetch/push transactions.
* "git imap-send" used to ignore configuration variables like
core.askpass; this has been corrected.
* "git $cmd $args", when $cmd is not a recognised subcommand, by
default tries to see if $cmd is a typo of an existing subcommand
and optionally executes the corrected command if there is only one
possibility, depending on the setting of help.autocorrect; the
users can now disable the whole thing, including the cycles spent
to find a likely typo, by setting the configuration variable to
'never'.
* "@" sometimes worked (e.g. "git push origin @:there") as a part of
a refspec element, but "git push origin @" did not work, which has
been corrected.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Use "git archive" more to produce the release tarball.
* GitHub Actions automated test improvement to skip tests on a tree
identical to what has already been tested.
* Test-coverage for running commit-graph task "git maintenance" has
been extended.
* Our test scripts can be told to run only individual pieces while
skipping others with the "--run=..." option; they were taught to
take a substring of test title, in addition to numbers, to name the
test pieces to run.
* Adjust tests so that they won't scream when the default initial
branch name is different from 'master'.
* Rewriting "git bisect" in C continues.
* More preliminary tests have been added to document desired outcomes
of various "directory rename" situations.
* Micro clean-up of a couple of test scripts.
* "git diff" and other commands that share the same machinery to
compare with working tree files have been taught to take advantage
of the fsmonitor data when available.
* The code to detect premature EOF in the sideband demultiplexer has
been cleaned up.
* "git fetch --depth=<n>" over the stateless RPC / smart HTTP
transport handled EOF from the client poorly at the server end.
* A specialization of hashmap that uses a string as key has been
introduced. Hopefully it will see wider use over time.
* "git bisect start/next" in a large span of history spends a lot of
time trying to come up with exactly the half-way point; this can be
optimized by stopping when we see a commit that is close enough to
the half-way point.
* A lazily defined test prerequisite can now be defined in terms of
another lazily defined test prerequisite.
* Expectation for the original contributor after responding to a
review comment to use the explanation in a patch update has been
described.
* Multiple "credential-store" backends can race to lock the same
file, causing everybody else but one to fail---reattempt locking
with some timeout to reduce the rate of the failure.
* "git-parse-remote" shell script library outlived its usefulness.
* Like die() and error(), a call to warning() will also trigger a
trace2 event.
* Use of non-reentrant localtime() has been removed.
* Non-reentrant time-related library functions and ctime/asctime with
awkward calling interfaces are banned from the codebase.
Fixes since v2.29
-----------------
* In 2.29, "--committer-date-is-author-date" option of "rebase" and
"am" subcommands lost the e-mail address by mistake, which has been
corrected.
(merge 5f35edd9d7 jk/committer-date-is-author-date-fix later to maint).
* "git checkout -p A...B [-- <path>]" did not work, even though the
same command without "-p" correctly used the merge-base between
commits A and B.
(merge 35166b1fb5 dl/checkout-p-merge-base later to maint).
* The side-band status report can be sent at the same time as the
primary payload multiplexed, but the demultiplexer on the receiving
end incorrectly split a single status report into two, which has
been corrected.
(merge 712b0377db js/avoid-split-sideband-message later to maint).
* "git fast-import" wasted a lot of memory when many marks were in use.
(merge 3f018ec716 jk/fast-import-marks-alloc-fix later to maint).
* A test helper "test_cmp A B" was taught to diagnose missing files A
or B as a bug in test, but some tests legitimately wanted to notice
a failure to even create file B as an error, in addition to leaving
the expected result in it, and were misdiagnosed as a bug. This
has been corrected.
(merge 262d5ad5a5 es/test-cmp-typocatcher later to maint).
* When "git commit-graph" detects the same commit recorded more than
once while it is merging the layers, it used to die. The code now
ignores all but one of them and continues.
(merge 85102ac71b ds/commit-graph-merging-fix later to maint).
* The meaning of a Signed-off-by trailer can vary from project to
project; this and also what it means to this project has been
clarified in the documentation.
(merge 3abd4a67d9 bk/sob-dco later to maint).
* "git credential' didn't honor the core.askPass configuration
variable (among other things), which has been corrected.
(merge 567ad2c0f9 tk/credential-config later to maint).
* Dev support to catch a tentative definition of a variable in our C
code as an error.
(merge 5539183622 jk/no-common later to maint).
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" did not correctly pass --gpg-sign
command line option to underlying "git merge" when replaying a merge
using non-default merge strategy or when replaying an octopus merge
(because replaying a two-head merge with the default strategy was
done in a separate codepath, the problem did not trigger for most
users), which has been corrected.
(merge 43ad4f2eca sc/sequencer-gpg-octopus later to maint).
* "git apply -R" did not handle patches that touch the same path
twice correctly, which has been corrected. This is most relevant
in a patch that changes a path from a regular file to a symbolic
link (and vice versa).
(merge b0f266de11 jt/apply-reverse-twice later to maint).
* A recent oid->hash conversion missed one spot, breaking "git svn".
(merge 03bb366de4 bc/svn-hash-oid-fix later to maint).
* The documentation on the "--abbrev=<n>" option did not say the
output may be longer than "<n>" hexdigits, which has been
clarified.
(merge cda34e0d0c jc/abbrev-doc later to maint).
* "git p4" now honors init.defaultBranch configuration.
(merge 1b09d1917f js/p4-default-branch later to maint).
* Recently the format of an internal state file "rebase -i" uses has
been tightened up for consistency, which would hurt those who start
"rebase -i" with old git and then continue with new git. Loosen
the reader side a bit (which we may want to tighten again in a year
or so).
(merge c779386182 jc/sequencer-stopped-sha-simplify later to maint).
* The code to see if "git stash drop" can safely remove refs/stash
has been made more careful.
(merge 4f44c5659b rs/empty-reflog-check-fix later to maint).
* "git log -L<range>:<path>" is documented to take no pathspec, but
this was not enforced by the command line option parser, which has
been corrected.
(merge 39664cb0ac jc/line-log-takes-no-pathspec later to maint).
* "git format-patch --output=there" did not work as expected and
instead crashed. The option is now supported.
(merge dc1672dd10 jk/format-patch-output later to maint).
* Define ARM64 compiled with MSVC to be little-endian.
(merge 0c038fc65a dg/bswap-msvc later to maint).
* "git rebase -i" did not store ORIG_HEAD correctly.
(merge 8843302307 pw/rebase-i-orig-head later to maint).
* "git blame -L :funcname -- path" did not work well for a path for
which a userdiff driver is defined.
* "make DEVELOPER=1 sparse" used to run sparse and let it emit
warnings; now such warnings will cause an error.
(merge 521dc56270 jc/sparse-error-for-developer-build later to maint).
* "git blame --ignore-revs-file=<file>" learned to ignore a
non-existent object name in the input, instead of complaining.
(merge c714d05875 jc/blame-ignore-fix later to maint).
* Running "git diff" while allowing external diff in a state with
unmerged paths used to segfault, which has been corrected.
(merge d66851806f jk/diff-release-filespec-fix later to maint).
* Build configuration cleanup.
(merge b990f02fd8 ab/config-mak-uname-simplify later to maint).
* Fix regression introduced when nvimdiff support in mergetool was added.
(merge 12026f46e7 pd/mergetool-nvimdiff later to maint).
* The exchange between receive-pack and proc-receive hook did not
carefully check for errors.
* The code was not prepared to deal with pack .idx file that is
larger than 4GB.
(merge 81c4c5cf2e jk/4gb-idx later to maint).
* Since jgit does not yet work with SHA-256 repositories, mark the
tests that use it not to run unless we are testing with ShA-1
repositories.
(merge ea699b4adc sg/t5310-jgit-wants-sha1 later to maint).
* Config parser fix for "git notes".
(merge 45fef1599a na/notes-displayref-is-not-boolean later to maint).
* Move a definition of compatibility wrapper from cache.h to
git-compat-util.h
(merge a76b138daa hn/sleep-millisec-decl later to maint).
* Error message fix.
(merge eaf5341538 km/stash-error-message-fix later to maint).
* "git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules" checked for local changes
in a wrong range and failed to run correctly when it should.
(merge 5176f20ffe pb/pull-rebase-recurse-submodules later to maint).
* "git push" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,
still computing to find a good compression, wasting cycles. This
has been corrected.
(merge 8b59935114 jk/stop-pack-objects-when-push-is-killed later to maint).
* "git fetch" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,
still computing to find a good compression, wasting cycles. This
has been corrected.
(merge 309a4028e7 jk/stop-pack-objects-when-fetch-is-killed later to maint).
* "git add -i" failed to honor custom colors configured to show
patches, which has been corrected.
(merge 96386faa03 js/add-i-color-fix later to maint).
* Processes that access packdata while the .idx file gets removed
(e.g. while repacking) did not fail or fall back gracefully as they
could.
(merge 506ec2fbda tb/idx-midx-race-fix later to maint).
* "git apply" adjusted the permission bits of working-tree files and
directories according to core.sharedRepository setting by mistake and
for a long time, which has been corrected.
(merge eb3c027e17 mt/do-not-use-scld-in-working-tree later to maint).
* "fetch-pack" could pass NULL pointer to unlink(2) when it sees an
invalid filename; the error checking has been tightened to make
this impossible.
(merge 6031af387e rs/fetch-pack-invalid-lockfile later to maint).
* "git maintenance run/start/stop" needed to be run in a repository
to hold the lockfile they use, but didn't make sure they are
actually in a repository, which has been corrected.
* The glossary described a branch as an "active" line of development,
which is misleading---a stale and non-moving branch is still a
branch.
(merge eef1ceabd8 so/glossary-branch-is-not-necessarily-active later to maint).
* Newer versions of xsltproc can assign IDs in HTML documents it
generates in a consistent manner. Use the feature to help format
HTML version of the user manual reproducibly.
(merge 3569e11d69 ae/doc-reproducible-html later to maint).
* Tighten error checking in the codepath that responds to "git fetch".
(merge d43a21bdbb jk/check-config-parsing-error-in-upload-pack later to maint).
* "git pack-redundant" when there is only one packfile used to crash,
which has been corrected.
(merge 0696232390 jx/pack-redundant-on-single-pack later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

Changes 1.8.5:
Foreign interfaces, subsystems and ports.
* The HTTP transport, when talking GSS-Negotiate, uses "100
Continue" response to avoid having to rewind and resend a large
payload, which may not be always doable.
* Various bugfixes to remote-bzr and remote-hg (in contrib/).
* The build procedure is aware of MirBSD now.
* Various "git p4", "git svn" and "gitk" updates.
UI, Workflows & Features
* Fetching from a shallowly-cloned repository used to be forbidden,
primarily because the codepaths involved were not carefully vetted
and we did not bother supporting such usage. This release attempts
to allow object transfer out of a shallowly-cloned repository in a
more controlled way (i.e. the receiver becomes a shallow repository
with a truncated history).
* Just like we give a reasonable default for "less" via the LESS
environment variable, we now specify a reasonable default for "lv"
via the "LV" environment variable when spawning the pager.
* Two-level configuration variable names in "branch.*" and "remote.*"
hierarchies, whose variables are predominantly three-level, were
not completed by hitting a <TAB> in bash and zsh completions.
* Fetching a 'frotz' branch with "git fetch", while a 'frotz/nitfol'
remote-tracking branch from an earlier fetch was still there, would
error out, primarily because the command was not told that it is
allowed to lose any information on our side. "git fetch --prune"
now can be used to remove 'frotz/nitfol' to make room for fetching and
storing the 'frotz' remote-tracking branch.
* "diff.orderfile=<file>" configuration variable can be used to
pretend as if the "-O<file>" option were given from the command
line of "git diff", etc.
* The negative pathspec syntax allows "git log -- . ':!dir'" to tell
us "I am interested in everything but 'dir' directory".
* "git difftool" shows how many different paths there are in total,
and how many of them have been shown so far, to indicate progress.
* "git push origin master" used to push our 'master' branch to update
the 'master' branch at the 'origin' repository. This has been
enhanced to use the same ref mapping "git push origin" would use to
determine what ref at the 'origin' to be updated with our 'master'.
For example, with this configuration
[remote "origin"]
push = refs/heads/*:refs/review/*
that would cause "git push origin" to push out our local branches
to corresponding refs under refs/review/ hierarchy at 'origin',
"git push origin master" would update 'refs/review/master' over
there. Alternatively, if push.default is set to 'upstream' and our
'master' is set to integrate with 'topic' from the 'origin' branch,
running "git push origin" while on our 'master' would update their
'topic' branch, and running "git push origin master" while on any
of our branches does the same.
* "gitweb" learned to treat ref hierarchies other than refs/heads as
if they are additional branch namespaces (e.g. refs/changes/ in
Gerrit).
* "git for-each-ref --format=..." learned a few formatting directives;
e.g. "%(color:red)%(HEAD)%(color:reset) %(refname:short) %(subject)".
* The command string given to "git submodule foreach" is passed
directly to the shell, without being eval'ed. This is a backward
incompatible change that may break existing users.
* "git log" and friends learned the "--exclude=<glob>" option, to
allow people to say "list history of all branches except those that
match this pattern" with "git log --exclude='*/*' --branches".
* "git rev-parse --parseopt" learned a new "--stuck-long" option to
help scripts parse options with an optional parameter.
* The "--tags" option to "git fetch" no longer tells the command to
fetch _only_ the tags. It instead fetches tags _in addition to_
what are fetched by the same command line without the option.

git: updated to 2.21.0
Git 2.21 Release Notes
======================
Backward Compatibility Notes
----------------------------
* Historically, the "-m" (mainline) option can only be used for "git
cherry-pick" and "git revert" when working with a merge commit.
This version of Git no longer warns or errors out when working with
a single-parent commit, as long as the argument to the "-m" option
is 1 (i.e. it has only one parent, and the request is to pick or
revert relative to that first parent). Scripts that relied on the
behaviour may get broken with this change.
Updates since v2.20
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* The "http.version" configuration variable can be used with recent
enough versions of cURL library to force the version of HTTP used
to talk when fetching and pushing.
* Small fixes and features for fast-export and fast-import, mostly on
the fast-export side has been made.
* "git push $there $src:$dst" rejects when $dst is not a fully
qualified refname and it is not clear what the end user meant. The
codepath has been taught to give a clearer error message, and also
guess where the push should go by taking the type of the pushed
object into account (e.g. a tag object would want to go under
refs/tags/).
* "git checkout [<tree-ish>] path..." learned to report the number of
paths that have been checked out of the index or the tree-ish,
which gives it the same degree of noisy-ness as the case in which
the command checks out a branch. "git checkout -m <pathspec>" to
undo conflict resolution gives a similar message.
* "git quiltimport" learned "--keep-non-patch" option.
* "git worktree remove" and "git worktree move" refused to work when
there is a submodule involved. This has been loosened to ignore
uninitialized submodules.
* "git cherry-pick -m1" was forbidden when picking a non-merge
commit, even though there _is_ parent number 1 for such a commit.
This was done to avoid mistakes back when "cherry-pick" was about
picking a single commit, but is no longer useful with "cherry-pick"
that can pick a range of commits. Now the "-m$num" option is
allowed when picking any commit, as long as $num names an existing
parent of the commit.
* Update "git multimail" from the upstream.
* "git p4" update.
* The "--format=<placeholder>" option of for-each-ref, branch and tag
learned to show a few more traits of objects that can be learned by
the object_info API.
* "git rebase -i" learned to re-execute a command given with 'exec'
to run after it failed the last time.
* "git diff --color-moved-ws" updates.
* Custom userformat "log --format" learned %S atom that stands for
the tip the traversal reached the commit from, i.e. --source.
* "git instaweb" learned to drive http.server that comes with
"batteries included" Python installation (both Python2 & 3).
* A new encoding UTF-16LE-BOM has been invented to force encoding to
UTF-16 with BOM in little endian byte order, which cannot be directly
generated by using iconv.
* A new date format "--date=human" that morphs its output depending
on how far the time is from the current time has been introduced.
"--date=auto:human" can be used to use this new format (or any
existing format) when the output is going to the pager or to the
terminal, and otherwise the default format.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Code clean-up with optimization for the codepath that checks
(non-)existence of loose objects.
* More codepaths have become aware of working with in-core repository
instances other than the default "the_repository".
* The "strncat()" function is now among the banned functions.
* Portability updates for the HPE NonStop platform.
* Earlier we added "-Wformat-security" to developer builds, assuming
that "-Wall" (which includes "-Wformat" which in turn is required
to use "-Wformat-security") is always in effect. This is not true
when config.mak.autogen is in use, unfortunately. This has been
fixed by unconditionally adding "-Wall" to developer builds.
* The loose object cache used to optimize existence look-up has been
updated.
* Flaky tests can now be repeatedly run under load with the
"--stress" option.
* Documentation/Makefile is getting prepared for manpage
localization.
* "git fetch-pack" now can talk the version 2 protocol.
* sha-256 hash has been added and plumbed through the code to allow
building Git with the "NewHash".
* Debugging help for http transport.
* "git fetch --deepen=<more>" has been corrected to work over v2
protocol.
* The code to walk tree objects has been taught that we may be
working with object names that are not computed with SHA-1.
* The in-core repository instances are passed through more codepaths.
* Update the protocol message specification to allow only the limited
use of scaled quantities. This is to ensure potential compatibility
issues will not get out of hand.
* Micro-optimize the code that prepares commit objects to be walked
by "git rev-list" when the commit-graph is available.
* "git fetch" and "git upload-pack" learned to send all exchanges over
the sideband channel while talking the v2 protocol.
* The codepath to write out commit-graph has been optimized by
following the usual pattern of visiting objects in in-pack order.
* The codepath to show progress meter while writing out commit-graph
file has been improved.
* Cocci rules have been updated to encourage use of strbuf_addbuf().
* "git rebase --merge" has been reimplemented by reusing the internal
machinery used for "git rebase -i".
* More code in "git bisect" has been rewritten in C.
* Instead of going through "git-rebase--am" scriptlet to use the "am"
backend, the built-in version of "git rebase" learned to drive the
"am" backend directly.
* The assumption to work on the single "in-core index" instance has
been reduced from the library-ish part of the codebase.
* The test lint learned to catch non-portable "sed" options.
* "git pack-objects" learned another algorithm to compute the set of
objects to send, that trades the resulting packfile off to save
traversal cost to favor small pushes.
* The travis CI scripts have been corrected to build Git with the
compiler(s) of our choice.
* "git submodule update" learned to abort early when core.worktree
for the submodule is not set correctly to prevent spreading damage.
* Test suite has been adjusted to run on Azure Pipeline.
* Running "Documentation/doc-diff x" from anywhere other than the
top-level of the working tree did not show the usage string
correctly, which has been fixed.
* Use of the sparse tool got easier to customize from the command
line to help developers.
* A new target "coverage-prove" to run the coverage test under
"prove" has been added.
* A flakey "p4" test has been removed.
* The code and tests assume that the system supplied iconv() would
always use BOM in its output when asked to encode to UTF-16 (or
UTF-32), but apparently some implementations output big-endian
without BOM. A compile-time knob has been added to help such
systems (e.g. NonStop) to add BOM to the output to increase
portability.
Fixes since v2.20
-----------------
* Updates for corner cases in merge-recursive.
(merge cc4cb0902c en/merge-path-collision later to maint).
* "git checkout frotz" (without any double-dash) avoids ambiguity by
making sure 'frotz' cannot be interpreted as a revision and as a
path at the same time. This safety has been updated to check also
a unique remote-tracking branch 'frotz' in a remote, when dwimming
to create a local branch 'frotz' out of a remote-tracking branch
'frotz' from a remote.
(merge be4908f103 nd/checkout-dwim-fix later to maint).
* Refspecs configured with "git -c var=val clone" did not propagate
to the resulting repository, which has been corrected.
(merge 7eae4a3ac4 sg/clone-initial-fetch-configuration later to maint).
* A properly configured username/email is required under
user.useConfigOnly in order to create commits; now "git stash"
(even though it creates commit objects to represent stash entries)
command is exempt from the requirement.
(merge 3bc2111fc2 sd/stash-wo-user-name later to maint).
* The http-backend CGI process did not correctly clean up the child
processes it spawns to run upload-pack etc. when it dies itself,
which has been corrected.
(merge 02818a98d7 mk/http-backend-kill-children-before-exit later to maint).
* "git rev-list --exclude-promisor-objects" had to take an object
that does not exist locally (and is lazily available) from the
command line without barfing, but the code dereferenced NULL.
(merge 4cf67869b2 md/list-lazy-objects-fix later to maint).
* The traversal over tree objects has learned to honor
":(attr:label)" pathspec match, which has been implemented only for
enumerating paths on the filesystem.
(merge 5a0b97b34c nd/attr-pathspec-in-tree-walk later to maint).
* BSD port updates.
(merge 4e3ecbd439 cb/openbsd-allows-reading-directory later to maint).
(merge b6bdc2a0f5 cb/t5004-empty-tar-archive-fix later to maint).
(merge 82cbc8cde2 cb/test-lint-cp-a later to maint).
* Lines that begin with a certain keyword that come over the wire, as
well as lines that consist only of one of these keywords, ought to
be painted in color for easier eyeballing, but the latter was
broken ever since the feature was introduced in 2.19, which has
been corrected.
(merge 1f67290450 hn/highlight-sideband-keywords later to maint).
* "git log -G<regex>" looked for a hunk in the "git log -p" patch
output that contained a string that matches the given pattern.
Optimize this code to ignore binary files, which by default will
not show any hunk that would match any pattern (unless textconv or
the --text option is in effect, that is).
(merge e0e7cb8080 tb/log-G-binary later to maint).
* "git submodule update" ought to use a single job unless asked, but
by mistake used multiple jobs, which has been fixed.
(merge e3a9d1aca9 sb/submodule-fetchjobs-default-to-one later to maint).
* "git stripspace" should be usable outside a git repository, but
under the "-s" or "-c" mode, it didn't.
(merge 957da75802 jn/stripspace-wo-repository later to maint).
* Some of the documentation pages formatted incorrectly with
Asciidoctor, which have been fixed.
(merge b62eb1d2f4 ma/asciidoctor later to maint).
* The core.worktree setting in a submodule repository should not be
pointing at a directory when the submodule loses its working tree
(e.g. getting deinit'ed), but the code did not properly maintain
this invariant.
* With zsh, "git cmd path<TAB>" was completed to "git cmd path name"
when the completed path has a special character like SP in it,
without any attempt to keep "path name" a single filename. This
has been fixed to complete it to "git cmd path\ name" just like
Bash completion does.
* The test suite tried to see if it is run under bash, but the check
itself failed under some other implementations of shell (notably
under NetBSD). This has been corrected.
(merge 54ea72f09c sg/test-bash-version-fix later to maint).
* "git gc" and "git repack" did not close the open packfiles that
they found unneeded before removing them, which didn't work on a
platform incapable of removing an open file. This has been
corrected.
(merge 5bdece0d70 js/gc-repack-close-before-remove later to maint).
* The code to drive GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF command relied on the string
returned from getenv() to be non-volatile, which is not true, that
has been corrected.
(merge 6776a84dae kg/external-diff-save-env later to maint).
* There were many places the code relied on the string returned from
getenv() to be non-volatile, which is not true, that have been
corrected.
(merge 0da0e9268b jk/save-getenv-result later to maint).
* The v2 upload-pack protocol implementation failed to honor
hidden-ref configuration, which has been corrected.
(merge e20b4192a3 jk/proto-v2-hidden-refs-fix later to maint).
* "git fetch --recurse-submodules" may not fetch the necessary commit
that is bound to the superproject, which is getting corrected.
(merge be76c21282 sb/submodule-recursive-fetch-gets-the-tip later to maint).
* "git rebase" internally runs "checkout" to switch between branches,
and the command used to call the post-checkout hook, but the
reimplementation stopped doing so, which is getting fixed.
* "git add -e" got confused when the change it wants to let the user
edit is smaller than the previous change that was left over in a
temporary file.
(merge fa6f225e01 js/add-e-clear-patch-before-stating later to maint).
* "git p4" failed to update a shelved change when there were moved
files, which has been corrected.
(merge 7a10946ab9 ld/git-p4-shelve-update-fix later to maint).
* The codepath to read from the commit-graph file attempted to read
past the end of it when the file's table-of-contents was corrupt.
* The compat/obstack code had casts that -Wcast-function-type
compilation option found questionable.
(merge 764473d257 sg/obstack-cast-function-type-fix later to maint).
* An obvious typo in an assertion error message has been fixed.
(merge 3c27e2e059 cc/test-ref-store-typofix later to maint).
* In Git for Windows, "git clone \\server\share\path" etc. that uses
UNC paths from command line had bad interaction with its shell
emulation.
* "git add --ignore-errors" did not work as advertised and instead
worked as an unintended synonym for "git add --renormalize", which
has been fixed.
(merge e2c2a37545 jk/add-ignore-errors-bit-assignment-fix later to maint).
* On a case-insensitive filesystem, we failed to compare the part of
the path that is above the worktree directory in an absolute
pathname, which has been corrected.
* Asking "git check-attr" about a macro (e.g. "binary") on a specific
path did not work correctly, even though "git check-attr -a" listed
such a macro correctly. This has been corrected.
(merge 7b95849be4 jk/attr-macro-fix later to maint).
* "git pack-objects" incorrectly used uninitialized mutex, which has
been corrected.
(merge edb673cf10 ph/pack-objects-mutex-fix later to maint).
* "git checkout -b <new> [HEAD]" to create a new branch from the
current commit and check it out ought to be a no-op in the index
and the working tree in normal cases, but there are corner cases
that do require updates to the index and the working tree. Running
it immediately after "git clone --no-checkout" is one of these
cases that an earlier optimization kicked in incorrectly, which has
been fixed.
(merge 8424bfd45b bp/checkout-new-branch-optim later to maint).
* "git diff --color-moved --cc --stat -p" did not work well due to
funny interaction between a bug in color-moved and the rest, which
has been fixed.
(merge dac03b5518 jk/diff-cc-stat-fixes later to maint).
* When GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR is set, the command was incorrectly
started when modes of "git rebase" that implicitly uses the
machinery for the interactive rebase are run, which has been
corrected.
(merge 891d4a0313 pw/no-editor-in-rebase-i-implicit later to maint).
* The commit-graph facility did not work when in-core objects that
are promoted from unknown type to commit (e.g. a commit that is
accessed via a tag that refers to it) were involved, which has been
corrected.
(merge 4468d4435c sg/object-as-type-commit-graph-fix later to maint).
* "git fetch" output cleanup.
(merge dc40b24df4 nd/fetch-compact-update later to maint).
* "git cat-file --batch" reported a dangling symbolic link by
mistake, when it wanted to report that a given name is ambiguous.
* Documentation around core.crlf has been updated.
(merge c9446f0504 jk/autocrlf-overrides-eol-doc later to maint).
* The documentation of "git commit-tree" said that the command
understands "--gpg-sign" in addition to "-S", but the command line
parser did not know about the longhand, which has been corrected.
* "git rebase -x $cmd" did not reject multi-line command, even though
the command is incapable of handling such a command. It now is
rejected upfront.
(merge c762aada1a pw/rebase-x-sanity-check later to maint).
* Output from "git help" was not correctly aligned, which has been
fixed.
(merge 6195a76da4 nd/help-align-command-desc later to maint).
* The "git submodule summary" subcommand showed shortened commit
object names by mechanically truncating them at 7-hexdigit, which
has been improved to let "rev-parse --short" scale the length of
the abbreviation with the size of the repository.
(merge 0586a438f6 sh/submodule-summary-abbrev-fix later to maint).
* The way the OSX build jobs updates its build environment used the
"--quiet" option to "brew update" command, but it wasn't all that
quiet to be useful. The use of the option has been replaced with
an explicit redirection to the /dev/null (which incidentally would
have worked around a breakage by recent updates to homebrew, which
has fixed itself already).
(merge a1ccaedd62 sg/travis-osx-brew-breakage-workaround later to maint).
* "git --work-tree=$there --git-dir=$here describe --dirty" did not
work correctly as it did not pay attention to the location of the
worktree specified by the user by mistake, which has been
corrected.
(merge c801170b0c ss/describe-dirty-in-the-right-directory later to maint).
* "git fetch" over protocol v2 that needs to make a second connection
to backfill tags did not clear a variable that holds shallow
repository information correctly, leading to an access of freed
piece of memory.
* Some errors from the other side coming over smart HTTP transport
were not noticed, which has been corrected.
* Code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

git: updated to 2.15.0
Git 2.15 Release Notes
Backward compatibility notes and other notable changes.
* Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for
'everything matches' is still warned and Git asks users to use a
more explicit '.' for that instead. The hope is that existing
users will not mind this change, and eventually the warning can be
turned into a hard error, upgrading the deprecation into removal of
this (mis)feature. That is now scheduled to happen in Git v2.16,
the next major release after this one.
* Git now avoids blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup
sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository. A corner case that
happens to work right now may be broken by a call to BUG().
We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there
might still be cases that need to be addressed--bug reports are
greatly appreciated.
* "branch --set-upstream" that has been deprecated in Git 1.8 has
finally been retired.
Updates since v2.14
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* An example that is now obsolete has been removed from a sample hook,
and an old example in it that added a sign-off manually has been
improved to use the interpret-trailers command.
* The advice message given when "git rebase" stops for conflicting
changes has been improved.
* The "rerere-train" script (in contrib/) learned the "--overwrite"
option to allow overwriting existing recorded resolutions.
* "git contacts" (in contrib/) now lists the address on the
"Reported-by:" trailer to its output, in addition to those on
S-o-b: and other trailers, to make it easier to notify (and thank)
the original bug reporter.
* "git rebase", especially when it is run by mistake and ends up
trying to replay many changes, spent long time in silence. The
command has been taught to show progress report when it spends
long time preparing these many changes to replay (which would give
the user a chance to abort with ^C).
* "git merge" learned a "--signoff" option to add the Signed-off-by:
trailer with the committer's name.
* "git diff" learned to optionally paint new lines that are the same
as deleted lines elsewhere differently from genuinely new lines.
* "git interpret-trailers" learned to take the trailer specifications
from the command line that overrides the configured values.
* "git interpret-trailers" has been taught a "--parse" and a few
other options to make it easier for scripts to grab existing
trailer lines from a commit log message.
* The "--format=%(trailers)" option "git log" and its friends take
learned to take the 'unfold' and 'only' modifiers to normalize its
output, e.g. "git log --format=%(trailers:only,unfold)".
* "gitweb" shows a link to visit the 'raw' contents of blbos in the
history overview page.
* "[gc] rerereResolved = 5.days" used to be invalid, as the variable
is defined to take an integer counting the number of days. It now
is allowed.
* The code to acquire a lock on a reference (e.g. while accepting a
push from a client) used to immediately fail when the reference is
already locked---now it waits for a very short while and retries,
which can make it succeed if the lock holder was holding it during
a read-only operation.
* "branch --set-upstream" that has been deprecated in Git 1.8 has
finally been retired.
* The codepath to call external process filter for smudge/clean
operation learned to show the progress meter.
* "git rev-parse" learned "--is-shallow-repository", that is to be
used in a way similar to existing "--is-bare-repository" and
friends.
* "git describe --match <pattern>" has been taught to play well with
the "--all" option.
* "git branch" learned "-c/-C" to create a new branch by copying an
existing one.
* Some commands (most notably "git status") makes an opportunistic
update when performing a read-only operation to help optimize later
operations in the same repository. The new "--no-optional-locks"
option can be passed to Git to disable them.
* "git for-each-ref --format=..." learned a new format element,
%(trailers), to show only the commit log trailer part of the log
message.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

git: updated to 2.31.1
Git 2.31.1 Release Notes
========================
Fixes since v2.31
-----------------
* The fsmonitor interface read from its input without making sure
there is something to read from. This bug is new in 2.31
timeframe.
* The data structure used by fsmonitor interface was not properly
duplicated during an in-core merge, leading to use-after-free etc.
* "git bisect" reimplemented more in C during 2.30 timeframe did not
take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint well. This regression
has been corrected.
* Fix macros that can silently inject unintended null-statements.
* CALLOC_ARRAY() macro replaces many uses of xcalloc().
* Update insn in Makefile comments to run fuzz-all target.
* Fix a corner case bug in "git mv" on case insensitive systems,
which was introduced in 2.29 timeframe.
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
Git 2.31 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.30
-------------------
Backward incompatible and other important changes
* The "pack-redundant" command, which has been left stale with almost
unusable performance issues, now warns loudly when it gets used, as
we no longer want to recommend its use (instead just "repack -d"
instead).
* The development community has adopted Contributor Covenant v2.0 to
update from v1.4 that we have been using.
* The support for deprecated PCRE1 library has been dropped.
* Fixes for CVE-2021-21300 in Git 2.30.2 (and earlier) is included.
UI, Workflows & Features
* The "--format=%(trailers)" mechanism gets enhanced to make it
easier to design output for machine consumption.
* When a user does not tell "git pull" to use rebase or merge, the
command gives a loud message telling a user to choose between
rebase or merge but creates a merge anyway, forcing users who would
want to rebase to redo the operation. Fix an early part of this
problem by tightening the condition to give the message---there is
no reason to stop or force the user to choose between rebase or
merge if the history fast-forwards.
* The configuration variable 'core.abbrev' can be set to 'no' to
force no abbreviation regardless of the hash algorithm.
* "git rev-parse" can be explicitly told to give output as absolute
or relative path with the `--path-format=(absolute|relative)` option.
* Bash completion (in contrib/) update to make it easier for
end-users to add completion for their custom "git" subcommands.
* "git maintenance" learned to drive scheduled maintenance on
platforms whose native scheduling methods are not 'cron'.
* After expiring a reflog and making a single commit, the reflog for
the branch would record a single entry that knows both @{0} and
@{1}, but we failed to answer "what commit were we on?", i.e. @{1}
* "git bundle" learns "--stdin" option to read its refs from the
standard input. Also, it now does not lose refs whey they point
at the same object.
* "git log" learned a new "--diff-merges=<how>" option.
* "git ls-files" can and does show multiple entries when the index is
unmerged, which is a source for confusion unless -s/-u option is in
use. A new option --deduplicate has been introduced.
* `git worktree list` now annotates worktrees as prunable, shows
locked and prunable attributes in --porcelain mode, and gained
a --verbose option.
* "git clone" tries to locally check out the branch pointed at by
HEAD of the remote repository after it is done, but the protocol
did not convey the information necessary to do so when copying an
empty repository. The protocol v2 learned how to do so.
* There are other ways than ".." for a single token to denote a
"commit range", namely "<rev>^!" and "<rev>^-<n>", but "git
range-diff" did not understand them.
* The "git range-diff" command learned "--(left|right)-only" option
to show only one side of the compared range.
* "git mergetool" feeds three versions (base, local and remote) of
a conflicted path unmodified. The command learned to optionally
prepare these files with unconflicted parts already resolved.
* The .mailmap is documented to be read only from the root level of a
working tree, but a stray file in a bare repository also was read
by accident, which has been corrected.
* "git maintenance" tool learned a new "pack-refs" maintenance task.
* The error message given when a configuration variable that is
expected to have a boolean value has been improved.
* Signed commits and tags now allow verification of objects, whose
two object names (one in SHA-1, the other in SHA-256) are both
signed.
* "git rev-list" command learned "--disk-usage" option.
* "git {diff,log} --{skip,rotate}-to=<path>" allows the user to
discard diff output for early paths or move them to the end of the
output.
* "git difftool" learned "--skip-to=<path>" option to restart an
interrupted session from an arbitrary path.
* "git grep" has been tweaked to be limited to the sparse checkout
paths.
* "git rebase --[no-]fork-point" gained a configuration variable
rebase.forkPoint so that users do not have to keep specifying a
non-default setting.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* A 3-year old test that was not testing anything useful has been
corrected.
* Retire more names with "sha1" in it.
* The topological walk codepath is covered by new trace2 stats.
* Update the Code-of-conduct to version 2.0 from the upstream (we've
been using version 1.4).
* "git mktag" validates its input using its own rules before writing
a tag object---it has been updated to share the logic with "git
fsck".
* Two new ways to feed configuration variable-value pairs via
environment variables have been introduced, and the way
GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS encodes variable/value pairs has been tweaked
to make it more robust.
* Tests have been updated so that they do not to get affected by the
name of the default branch "git init" creates.
* "git fetch" learns to treat ref updates atomically in all-or-none
fashion, just like "git push" does, with the new "--atomic" option.
* The peel_ref() API has been replaced with peel_iterated_oid().
* The .use_shell flag in struct child_process that is passed to
run_command() API has been clarified with a bit more documentation.
* Document, clean-up and optimize the code around the cache-tree
extension in the index.
* The ls-refs protocol operation has been optimized to narrow the
sub-hierarchy of refs/ it walks to produce response.
* When removing many branches and tags, the code used to do so one
ref at a time. There is another API it can use to delete multiple
refs, and it makes quite a lot of performance difference when the
refs are packed.
* The "pack-objects" command needs to iterate over all the tags when
automatic tag following is enabled, but it actually iterated over
all refs and then discarded everything outside "refs/tags/"
hierarchy, which was quite wasteful.
* A perf script was made more portable.
* Our setting of GitHub CI test jobs were a bit too eager to give up
once there is even one failure found. Tweak the knob to allow
other jobs keep running even when we see a failure, so that we can
find more failures in a single run.
* We've carried compatibility codepaths for compilers without
variadic macros for quite some time, but the world may be ready for
them to be removed. Force compilation failure on exotic platforms
where variadic macros are not available to find out who screams in
such a way that we can easily revert if it turns out that the world
is not yet ready.
* Code clean-up to ensure our use of hashtables using object names as
keys use the "struct object_id" objects, not the raw hash values.
* Lose the debugging aid that may have been useful in the past, but
no longer is, in the "grep" codepaths.
* Some pretty-format specifiers do not need the data in commit object
(e.g. "%H"), but we were over-eager to load and parse it, which has
been made even lazier.
* Get rid of "GETTEXT_POISON" support altogether, which may or may
not be controversial.
* Introduce an on-disk file to record revindex for packdata, which
traditionally was always created on the fly and only in-core.
* The commit-graph learned to use corrected commit dates instead of
the generation number to help topological revision traversal.
* Piecemeal of rewrite of "git bisect" in C continues.
* When a pager spawned by us exited, the trace log did not record its
exit status correctly, which has been corrected.
* Removal of GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON continues.
* The code to implement "git merge-base --independent" was poorly
done and was kept from the very beginning of the feature.
* Preliminary changes to fsmonitor integration.
* Performance improvements for rename detection.
* The common code to deal with "chunked file format" that is shared
by the multi-pack-index and commit-graph files have been factored
out, to help codepaths for both filetypes to become more robust.
* The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is
attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core,
inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be
applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree
object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as
".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as
".gitmodules" file, for example. Teach "index-pack" to emit
objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling
"fetch-pack" process.
* The logic to handle "trailer" related placeholders in the
"--format=" mechanisms in the "log" family and "for-each-ref"
family is getting unified.
* Raise the buffer size used when writing the index file out from
(obviously too small) 8kB to (clearly sufficiently large) 128kB.
* It is reported that open() on some platforms (e.g. macOS Big Sur)
can return EINTR even though our timers are set up with SA_RESTART.
A workaround has been implemented and enabled for macOS to rerun
open() transparently from the caller when this happens.
Fixes since v2.30
-----------------
* Diagnose command line error of "git rebase" early.
* Clean up option descriptions in "git cmd --help".
* "git stash" did not work well in a sparsely checked out working
tree.
* Some tests expect that "ls -l" output has either '-' or 'x' for
group executable bit, but setgid bit can be inherited from parent
directory and make these fields 'S' or 's' instead, causing test
failures.
* "git for-each-repo --config=<var> <cmd>" should not run <cmd> for
any repository when the configuration variable <var> is not defined
even once.
* Fix 2.29 regression where "git mergetool --tool-help" fails to list
all the available tools.
* Fix for procedure to building CI test environment for mac.
* The implementation of "git branch --sort" wrt the detached HEAD
display has always been hacky, which has been cleaned up.
* Newline characters in the host and path part of git:// URL are
now forbidden.
* "git diff" showed a submodule working tree with untracked cruft as
"Submodule commit <objectname>-dirty", but a natural expectation is
that the "-dirty" indicator would align with "git describe --dirty",
which does not consider having untracked files in the working tree
as source of dirtiness. The inconsistency has been fixed.
* When more than one commit with the same patch ID appears on one
side, "git log --cherry-pick A...B" did not exclude them all when a
commit with the same patch ID appears on the other side. Now it
does.
* Documentation for "git fsck" lost stale bits that has become
incorrect.
* Doc fix for packfile URI feature.
* When "git rebase -i" processes "fixup" insn, there is no reason to
clean up the commit log message, but we did the usual stripspace
processing. This has been corrected.
(merge f7d42ceec5 js/rebase-i-commit-cleanup-fix later to maint).
* Fix in passing custom args from "git clone" to "upload-pack" on the
other side.
(merge ad6b5fefbd jv/upload-pack-filter-spec-quotefix later to maint).
* The command line completion (in contrib/) completed "git branch -d"
with branch names, but "git branch -D" offered tagnames in addition,
which has been corrected. "git branch -M" had the same problem.
(merge 27dc071b9a jk/complete-branch-force-delete later to maint).
* When commands are started from a subdirectory, they may have to
compare the path to the subdirectory (called prefix and found out
from $(pwd)) with the tracked paths. On macOS, $(pwd) and
readdir() yield decomposed path, while the tracked paths are
usually normalized to the precomposed form, causing mismatch. This
has been fixed by taking the same approach used to normalize the
command line arguments.
(merge 5c327502db tb/precompose-prefix-too later to maint).
* Even though invocations of "die()" were logged to the trace2
system, "BUG()"s were not, which has been corrected.
(merge 0a9dde4a04 jt/trace2-BUG later to maint).
* "git grep --untracked" is meant to be "let's ALSO find in these
files on the filesystem" when looking for matches in the working
tree files, and does not make any sense if the primary search is
done against the index, or the tree objects. The "--cached" and
"--untracked" options have been marked as mutually incompatible.
(merge 0c5d83b248 mt/grep-cached-untracked later to maint).
* Fix "git fsck --name-objects" which apparently has not been used by
anybody who is motivated enough to report breakage.
(merge e89f89361c js/fsck-name-objects-fix later to maint).
* Avoid individual tests in t5411 from getting affected by each other
by forcing them to use separate output files during the test.
(merge 822ee894f6 jx/t5411-unique-filenames later to maint).
* Test to make sure "git rev-parse one-thing one-thing" gives
the same thing twice (when one-thing is --since=X).
(merge a5cdca4520 ew/rev-parse-since-test later to maint).
* When certain features (e.g. grafts) used in the repository are
incompatible with the use of the commit-graph, we used to silently
turned commit-graph off; we now tell the user what we are doing.
(merge c85eec7fc3 js/commit-graph-warning later to maint).
* Objects that lost references can be pruned away, even when they
have notes attached to it (and these notes will become dangling,
which in turn can be pruned with "git notes prune"). This has been
clarified in the documentation.
(merge fa9ab027ba mz/doc-notes-are-not-anchors later to maint).
* The error codepath around the "--temp/--prefix" feature of "git
checkout-index" has been improved.
(merge 3f7ba60350 mt/checkout-index-corner-cases later to maint).
* The "git maintenance register" command had trouble registering bare
repositories, which had been corrected.
* A handful of multi-word configuration variable names in
documentation that are spelled in all lowercase have been corrected
to use the more canonical camelCase.
(merge 7dd0eaa39c dl/doc-config-camelcase later to maint).
* "git push $there --delete ''" should have been diagnosed as an
error, but instead turned into a matching push, which has been
corrected.
(merge 20e416409f jc/push-delete-nothing later to maint).
* Test script modernization.
(merge 488acf15df sv/t7001-modernize later to maint).
* An under-allocation for the untracked cache data has been corrected.
(merge 6347d649bc jh/untracked-cache-fix later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge e3f5da7e60 sg/t7800-difftool-robustify later to maint).

Git v2.7.1 Release Notes
========================
Fixes since v2.7
----------------
* An earlier change in 2.5.x-era broke users' hooks and aliases by
exporting GIT_WORK_TREE to point at the root of the working tree,
interfering when they tried to use a different working tree without
setting GIT_WORK_TREE environment themselves.
* The "exclude_list" structure has the usual "alloc, nr" pair of
fields to be used by ALLOC_GROW(), but clear_exclude_list() forgot
to reset 'alloc' to 0 when it cleared 'nr' to discard the managed
array.
* "git send-email" was confused by escaped quotes stored in the alias
files saved by "mutt", which has been corrected.
* A few unportable C construct have been spotted by clang compiler
and have been fixed.
* The documentation has been updated to hint the connection between
the '--signoff' option and DCO.
* "git reflog" incorrectly assumed that all objects that used to be
at the tip of a ref must be commits, which caused it to segfault.
* The ignore mechanism saw a few regressions around untracked file
listing and sparse checkout selection areas in 2.7.0; the change
that is responsible for the regression has been reverted.
* Some codepaths used fopen(3) when opening a fixed path in $GIT_DIR
(e.g. COMMIT_EDITMSG) that is meant to be left after the command is
done. This however did not work well if the repository is set to
be shared with core.sharedRepository and the umask of the previous
user is tighter. They have been made to work better by calling
unlink(2) and retrying after fopen(3) fails with EPERM.
* Asking gitweb for a nonexistent commit left a warning in the server
log.
* "git rebase", unlike all other callers of "gc --auto", did not
ignore the exit code from "gc --auto".
* Many codepaths that run "gc --auto" before exiting kept packfiles
mapped and left the file descriptors to them open, which was not
friendly to systems that cannot remove files that are open. They
now close the packs before doing so.
* A recent optimization to filter-branch in v2.7.0 introduced a
regression when --prune-empty filter is used, which has been
corrected.
* The description for SANITY prerequisite the test suite uses has
been clarified both in the comment and in the implementation.
* "git tag" started listing a tag "foo" as "tags/foo" when a branch
named "foo" exists in the same repository; remove this unnecessary
disambiguation, which is a regression introduced in v2.7.0.
* The way "git svn" uses auth parameter was broken by Subversion
1.9.0 and later.
* The "split" subcommand of "git subtree" (in contrib/) incorrectly
skipped merges when it shouldn't, which was corrected.
* A few options of "git diff" did not work well when the command was
run from a subdirectory.
* dirname() emulation has been added, as Msys2 lacks it.
* The underlying machinery used by "ls-files -o" and other commands
have been taught not to create empty submodule ref cache for a
directory that is not a submodule. This removes a ton of wasted
CPU cycles.
* Drop a few old "todo" items by deciding that the change one of them
suggests is not such a good idea, and doing the change the other
one suggested to do.
* Documentation for "git fetch --depth" has been updated for clarity.
* The command line completion learned a handful of additional options
and command specific syntax.
Also includes a handful of documentation and test updates.

git: updated to 2.30.0
Git 2.30 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.29
-------------------
UI, Workflows & Features
* Userdiff for PHP update.
* Userdiff for Rust update.
* Userdiff for CSS update.
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git
stash show" takes the options "git diff" takes.
* "git worktree list" now shows if each worktree is locked. This
possibly may open us to show other kinds of states in the future.
* "git maintenance", an extended big brother of "git gc", continues
to evolve.
* "git push --force-with-lease[=<ref>]" can easily be misused to lose
commits unless the user takes good care of their own "git fetch".
A new option "--force-if-includes" attempts to ensure that what is
being force-pushed was created after examining the commit at the
tip of the remote ref that is about to be force-replaced.
* "git clone" learned clone.defaultremotename configuration variable
to customize what nickname to use to call the remote the repository
was cloned from.
* "git checkout" learned to use checkout.guess configuration variable
and enable/disable its "--[no-]guess" option accordingly.
* "git resurrect" script (in contrib/) learned that the object names
may be longer than 40-hex depending on the hash function in use.
* "git diff A...B" learned "git diff --merge-base A B", which is a
longer short-hand to say the same thing.
* A sample 'push-to-checkout' hook, that performs the same as
what the built-in default action does, has been added.
* "git diff" family of commands learned the "-I<regex>" option to
ignore hunks whose changed lines all match the given pattern.
* The userdiff pattern learned to identify the function definition in
POSIX shells and bash.
* "git checkout-index" did not consistently signal an error with its
exit status, but now it does.
* A commit and tag object may have CR at the end of each and
every line (you can create such an object with hash-object or
using --cleanup=verbatim to decline the default clean-up
action), but it would make it impossible to have a blank line
to separate the title from the body of the message. We are now
more lenient and accept a line with lone CR on it as a blank line,
too.
* Exit codes from "git remote add" etc. were not usable by scripted
callers, but now they are.
* "git archive" now allows compression level higher than "-9"
when generating tar.gz output.
* Zsh autocompletion (in contrib/) update.
* The maximum length of output filenames "git format-patch" creates
has become configurable (used to be capped at 64).
* "git rev-parse" learned the "--end-of-options" to help scripts to
safely take a parameter that is supposed to be a revision, e.g.
"git rev-parse --verify -q --end-of-options $rev".
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to expand
commands that are alias of alias.
* "git update-ref --stdin" learns to take multiple transactions in a
single session.
* Various subcommands of "git config" that take value_regex
learned the "--literal-value" option to take the value_regex option
as a literal string.
* The transport layer was taught to optionally exchange the session
ID assigned by the trace2 subsystem during fetch/push transactions.
* "git imap-send" used to ignore configuration variables like
core.askpass; this has been corrected.
* "git $cmd $args", when $cmd is not a recognised subcommand, by
default tries to see if $cmd is a typo of an existing subcommand
and optionally executes the corrected command if there is only one
possibility, depending on the setting of help.autocorrect; the
users can now disable the whole thing, including the cycles spent
to find a likely typo, by setting the configuration variable to
'never'.
* "@" sometimes worked (e.g. "git push origin @:there") as a part of
a refspec element, but "git push origin @" did not work, which has
been corrected.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Use "git archive" more to produce the release tarball.
* GitHub Actions automated test improvement to skip tests on a tree
identical to what has already been tested.
* Test-coverage for running commit-graph task "git maintenance" has
been extended.
* Our test scripts can be told to run only individual pieces while
skipping others with the "--run=..." option; they were taught to
take a substring of test title, in addition to numbers, to name the
test pieces to run.
* Adjust tests so that they won't scream when the default initial
branch name is different from 'master'.
* Rewriting "git bisect" in C continues.
* More preliminary tests have been added to document desired outcomes
of various "directory rename" situations.
* Micro clean-up of a couple of test scripts.
* "git diff" and other commands that share the same machinery to
compare with working tree files have been taught to take advantage
of the fsmonitor data when available.
* The code to detect premature EOF in the sideband demultiplexer has
been cleaned up.
* "git fetch --depth=<n>" over the stateless RPC / smart HTTP
transport handled EOF from the client poorly at the server end.
* A specialization of hashmap that uses a string as key has been
introduced. Hopefully it will see wider use over time.
* "git bisect start/next" in a large span of history spends a lot of
time trying to come up with exactly the half-way point; this can be
optimized by stopping when we see a commit that is close enough to
the half-way point.
* A lazily defined test prerequisite can now be defined in terms of
another lazily defined test prerequisite.
* Expectation for the original contributor after responding to a
review comment to use the explanation in a patch update has been
described.
* Multiple "credential-store" backends can race to lock the same
file, causing everybody else but one to fail---reattempt locking
with some timeout to reduce the rate of the failure.
* "git-parse-remote" shell script library outlived its usefulness.
* Like die() and error(), a call to warning() will also trigger a
trace2 event.
* Use of non-reentrant localtime() has been removed.
* Non-reentrant time-related library functions and ctime/asctime with
awkward calling interfaces are banned from the codebase.
Fixes since v2.29
-----------------
* In 2.29, "--committer-date-is-author-date" option of "rebase" and
"am" subcommands lost the e-mail address by mistake, which has been
corrected.
(merge 5f35edd9d7 jk/committer-date-is-author-date-fix later to maint).
* "git checkout -p A...B [-- <path>]" did not work, even though the
same command without "-p" correctly used the merge-base between
commits A and B.
(merge 35166b1fb5 dl/checkout-p-merge-base later to maint).
* The side-band status report can be sent at the same time as the
primary payload multiplexed, but the demultiplexer on the receiving
end incorrectly split a single status report into two, which has
been corrected.
(merge 712b0377db js/avoid-split-sideband-message later to maint).
* "git fast-import" wasted a lot of memory when many marks were in use.
(merge 3f018ec716 jk/fast-import-marks-alloc-fix later to maint).
* A test helper "test_cmp A B" was taught to diagnose missing files A
or B as a bug in test, but some tests legitimately wanted to notice
a failure to even create file B as an error, in addition to leaving
the expected result in it, and were misdiagnosed as a bug. This
has been corrected.
(merge 262d5ad5a5 es/test-cmp-typocatcher later to maint).
* When "git commit-graph" detects the same commit recorded more than
once while it is merging the layers, it used to die. The code now
ignores all but one of them and continues.
(merge 85102ac71b ds/commit-graph-merging-fix later to maint).
* The meaning of a Signed-off-by trailer can vary from project to
project; this and also what it means to this project has been
clarified in the documentation.
(merge 3abd4a67d9 bk/sob-dco later to maint).
* "git credential' didn't honor the core.askPass configuration
variable (among other things), which has been corrected.
(merge 567ad2c0f9 tk/credential-config later to maint).
* Dev support to catch a tentative definition of a variable in our C
code as an error.
(merge 5539183622 jk/no-common later to maint).
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" did not correctly pass --gpg-sign
command line option to underlying "git merge" when replaying a merge
using non-default merge strategy or when replaying an octopus merge
(because replaying a two-head merge with the default strategy was
done in a separate codepath, the problem did not trigger for most
users), which has been corrected.
(merge 43ad4f2eca sc/sequencer-gpg-octopus later to maint).
* "git apply -R" did not handle patches that touch the same path
twice correctly, which has been corrected. This is most relevant
in a patch that changes a path from a regular file to a symbolic
link (and vice versa).
(merge b0f266de11 jt/apply-reverse-twice later to maint).
* A recent oid->hash conversion missed one spot, breaking "git svn".
(merge 03bb366de4 bc/svn-hash-oid-fix later to maint).
* The documentation on the "--abbrev=<n>" option did not say the
output may be longer than "<n>" hexdigits, which has been
clarified.
(merge cda34e0d0c jc/abbrev-doc later to maint).
* "git p4" now honors init.defaultBranch configuration.
(merge 1b09d1917f js/p4-default-branch later to maint).
* Recently the format of an internal state file "rebase -i" uses has
been tightened up for consistency, which would hurt those who start
"rebase -i" with old git and then continue with new git. Loosen
the reader side a bit (which we may want to tighten again in a year
or so).
(merge c779386182 jc/sequencer-stopped-sha-simplify later to maint).
* The code to see if "git stash drop" can safely remove refs/stash
has been made more careful.
(merge 4f44c5659b rs/empty-reflog-check-fix later to maint).
* "git log -L<range>:<path>" is documented to take no pathspec, but
this was not enforced by the command line option parser, which has
been corrected.
(merge 39664cb0ac jc/line-log-takes-no-pathspec later to maint).
* "git format-patch --output=there" did not work as expected and
instead crashed. The option is now supported.
(merge dc1672dd10 jk/format-patch-output later to maint).
* Define ARM64 compiled with MSVC to be little-endian.
(merge 0c038fc65a dg/bswap-msvc later to maint).
* "git rebase -i" did not store ORIG_HEAD correctly.
(merge 8843302307 pw/rebase-i-orig-head later to maint).
* "git blame -L :funcname -- path" did not work well for a path for
which a userdiff driver is defined.
* "make DEVELOPER=1 sparse" used to run sparse and let it emit
warnings; now such warnings will cause an error.
(merge 521dc56270 jc/sparse-error-for-developer-build later to maint).
* "git blame --ignore-revs-file=<file>" learned to ignore a
non-existent object name in the input, instead of complaining.
(merge c714d05875 jc/blame-ignore-fix later to maint).
* Running "git diff" while allowing external diff in a state with
unmerged paths used to segfault, which has been corrected.
(merge d66851806f jk/diff-release-filespec-fix later to maint).
* Build configuration cleanup.
(merge b990f02fd8 ab/config-mak-uname-simplify later to maint).
* Fix regression introduced when nvimdiff support in mergetool was added.
(merge 12026f46e7 pd/mergetool-nvimdiff later to maint).
* The exchange between receive-pack and proc-receive hook did not
carefully check for errors.
* The code was not prepared to deal with pack .idx file that is
larger than 4GB.
(merge 81c4c5cf2e jk/4gb-idx later to maint).
* Since jgit does not yet work with SHA-256 repositories, mark the
tests that use it not to run unless we are testing with ShA-1
repositories.
(merge ea699b4adc sg/t5310-jgit-wants-sha1 later to maint).
* Config parser fix for "git notes".
(merge 45fef1599a na/notes-displayref-is-not-boolean later to maint).
* Move a definition of compatibility wrapper from cache.h to
git-compat-util.h
(merge a76b138daa hn/sleep-millisec-decl later to maint).
* Error message fix.
(merge eaf5341538 km/stash-error-message-fix later to maint).
* "git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules" checked for local changes
in a wrong range and failed to run correctly when it should.
(merge 5176f20ffe pb/pull-rebase-recurse-submodules later to maint).
* "git push" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,
still computing to find a good compression, wasting cycles. This
has been corrected.
(merge 8b59935114 jk/stop-pack-objects-when-push-is-killed later to maint).
* "git fetch" that is killed may leave a pack-objects process behind,
still computing to find a good compression, wasting cycles. This
has been corrected.
(merge 309a4028e7 jk/stop-pack-objects-when-fetch-is-killed later to maint).
* "git add -i" failed to honor custom colors configured to show
patches, which has been corrected.
(merge 96386faa03 js/add-i-color-fix later to maint).
* Processes that access packdata while the .idx file gets removed
(e.g. while repacking) did not fail or fall back gracefully as they
could.
(merge 506ec2fbda tb/idx-midx-race-fix later to maint).
* "git apply" adjusted the permission bits of working-tree files and
directories according to core.sharedRepository setting by mistake and
for a long time, which has been corrected.
(merge eb3c027e17 mt/do-not-use-scld-in-working-tree later to maint).
* "fetch-pack" could pass NULL pointer to unlink(2) when it sees an
invalid filename; the error checking has been tightened to make
this impossible.
(merge 6031af387e rs/fetch-pack-invalid-lockfile later to maint).
* "git maintenance run/start/stop" needed to be run in a repository
to hold the lockfile they use, but didn't make sure they are
actually in a repository, which has been corrected.
* The glossary described a branch as an "active" line of development,
which is misleading---a stale and non-moving branch is still a
branch.
(merge eef1ceabd8 so/glossary-branch-is-not-necessarily-active later to maint).
* Newer versions of xsltproc can assign IDs in HTML documents it
generates in a consistent manner. Use the feature to help format
HTML version of the user manual reproducibly.
(merge 3569e11d69 ae/doc-reproducible-html later to maint).
* Tighten error checking in the codepath that responds to "git fetch".
(merge d43a21bdbb jk/check-config-parsing-error-in-upload-pack later to maint).
* "git pack-redundant" when there is only one packfile used to crash,
which has been corrected.
(merge 0696232390 jx/pack-redundant-on-single-pack later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge 3e0a5dc9af cc/doc-filter-branch-typofix later to maint).

git: updated to 2.26.0
Git 2.26 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.25
-------------------
Backward compatibility notes
* "git rebase" uses a different backend that is based on the 'merge'
machinery by default. There are a few known differences in the
behaviour from the traditional machinery based on patch+apply.
If your workflow is negatively affected by this change, please
report it to git@vger.kernel.org so that we can take a look into
it. After doing so, you can set the 'rebase.backend' configuration
variable to 'apply', in order to use the old default behaviour in
the meantime.
UI, Workflows & Features
* Sample credential helper for using .netrc has been updated to work
out of the box.
* gpg.minTrustLevel configuration variable has been introduced to
tell various signature verification codepaths the required minimum
trust level.
* The command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete
subcommands and arguments to "git worktree".
* Disambiguation logic to tell revisions and pathspec apart has been
tweaked so that backslash-escaped glob special characters do not
count in the "wildcards are pathspec" rule.
* One effect of specifying where the GIT_DIR is (either with the
environment variable, or with the "git --git-dir=<where> cmd"
option) is to disable the repository discovery. This has been
placed a bit more stress in the documentation, as new users often
get confused.
* Two help messages given when "git add" notices the user gave it
nothing to add have been updated to use advise() API.
* A new version of fsmonitor-watchman hook has been introduced, to
avoid races.
* "git config" learned to show in which "scope", in addition to in
which file, each config setting comes from.
* The basic 7 colors learned the brighter counterparts
(e.g. "brightred").
* "git sparse-checkout" learned a new "add" subcommand.
* A configuration element used for credential subsystem can now use
wildcard pattern to specify for which set of URLs the entry
applies.
* "git clone --recurse-submodules --single-branch" now uses the same
single-branch option when cloning the submodules.
* "git rm" and "git stash" learns the new "--pathspec-from-file"
option.
* "git am --show-current-patch" is a way to show the piece of e-mail
for the stopped step, which is not suitable to directly feed "git
apply" (it is designed to be a good "git am" input). It learned a
new option to show only the patch part.
* Handling of conflicting renames in merge-recursive have further
been made consistent with how existing codepaths try to mimic what
is done to add/add conflicts.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Tell .editorconfig that in this project, *.txt files are indented
with tabs.
* The test-lint machinery knew to check "VAR=VAL shell_function"
construct, but did not check "VAR= shell_function", which has been
corrected.
* Replace "git config --bool" calls with "git config --type=bool" in
sample templates.
* The effort to move "git-add--interactive" to C continues.
* Improve error message generation for "git submodule add".
* Preparation of test scripts for the day when the object names will
use SHA-256 continues.
* Warn programmers about pretend_object_file() that allows the code
to tentatively use in-core objects.
* The way "git pack-objects" reuses objects stored in existing pack
to generate its result has been improved.
* The transport protocol version 2 becomes the default one.
* Traditionally, we avoided threaded grep while searching in objects
(as opposed to files in the working tree) as accesses to the object
layer is not thread-safe. This limitation is getting lifted.
* "git rebase -i" (and friends) used to unnecessarily check out the
tip of the branch to be rebased, which has been corrected.
* A low-level API function get_oid(), that accepts various ways to
name an object, used to issue end-user facing error messages
without l10n, which has been updated to be translatable.
* Unneeded connectivity check is now disabled in a partial clone when
fetching into it.
* Some rough edges in the sparse-checkout feature, especially around
the cone mode, have been cleaned up.
* The diff-* plumbing family of subcommands now pay attention to the
diff.wsErrorHighlight configuration, which has been ignored before;
this allows "git add -p" to also show the whitespace problems to
the end user.
* Some codepaths were given a repository instance as a parameter to
work in the repository, but passed the_repository instance to its
callees, which has been cleaned up (somewhat).
* Memory footprint and performance of "git name-rev" has been
improved.
* The object reachability bitmap machinery and the partial cloning
machinery were not prepared to work well together, because some
object-filtering criteria that partial clones use inherently rely
on object traversal, but the bitmap machinery is an optimization
to bypass that object traversal. There however are some cases
where they can work together, and they were taught about them.
* "git rebase" has learned to use the merge backend (i.e. the
machinery that drives "rebase -i") by default, while allowing
"--apply" option to use the "apply" backend (e.g. the moral
equivalent of "format-patch piped to am"). The rebase.backend
configuration variable can be set to customize.
* Underlying machinery of "git bisect--helper" is being refactored
into pieces that are more easily reused.
Fixes since v2.25
-----------------
* "git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is
nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints
configuration variable, which has been corrected.
* has_object_file() said "no" given an object registered to the
system via pretend_object_file(), making it inconsistent with
read_object_file(), causing lazy fetch to attempt fetching an
empty tree from promisor remotes.
* Complete an update to tutorial that encourages "git switch" over
"git checkout" that was done only half-way.
* C pedantry ;-) fix.
* The code that tries to skip over the entries for the paths in a
single directory using the cache-tree was not careful enough
against corrupt index file.
* Reduce unnecessary round-trip when running "ls-remote" over the
stateless RPC mechanism.
* "git restore --staged" did not correctly update the cache-tree
structure, resulting in bogus trees to be written afterwards, which
has been corrected.
* The code recently added to move to the entry beyond the ones in the
same directory in the index in the sparse-cone mode did not count
the number of entries to skip over incorrectly, which has been
corrected.
* Rendering by "git log --graph" of ancestry lines leading to a merge
commit were made suboptimal to waste vertical space a bit with a
recent update, which has been corrected.
* Work around test breakages caused by custom regex engine used in
libasan, when address sanitizer is used with more recent versions
of gcc and clang.
* Minor bugfixes to "git add -i" that has recently been rewritten in C.
* "git fetch --refmap=" option has got a better documentation.
* "git checkout X" did not correctly fail when X is not a local
branch but could name more than one remote-tracking branches
(i.e. to be dwimmed as the starting point to create a corresponding
local branch), which has been corrected.
(merge fa74180d08 am/checkout-file-and-ref-ref-ambiguity later to maint).
* Corner case bugs in "git clean" that stems from a (necessarily for
performance reasons) awkward calling convention in the directory
enumeration API has been corrected.
* A fetch that is told to recursively fetch updates in submodules
inevitably produces reams of output, and it becomes hard to spot
error messages. The command has been taught to enumerate
submodules that had errors at the end of the operation.
(merge 0222540827 es/fetch-show-failed-submodules-atend later to maint).
* The "--recurse-submodules" option of various subcommands did not
work well when run in an alternate worktree, which has been
corrected.
* Futureproofing a test not to depend on the current implementation
detail.
* Running "git rm" on a submodule failed unnecessarily when
.gitmodules is only cache-dirty, which has been corrected.
* C pedantry ;-) fix.
* "git grep --no-index" should not get affected by the contents of
the .gitmodules file but when "--recurse-submodules" is given or
the "submodule.recurse" variable is set, it did. Now these
settings are ignored in the "--no-index" mode.
* Technical details of the bundle format has been documented.
* Unhelpful warning messages during documentation build have been squelched.
* "git rebase -i" identifies existing commits in its todo file with
their abbreviated object name, which could become ambiguous as it
goes to create new commits, and has a mechanism to avoid ambiguity
in the main part of its execution. A few other cases however were
not covered by the protection against ambiguity, which has been
corrected.
* Allow the rebase.missingCommitsCheck configuration to kick in when
"rebase --edit-todo" and "rebase --continue" restarts the procedure.
(merge 5a5445d878 ag/edit-todo-drop-check later to maint).
* The way "git submodule status" reports an initialized but not yet
populated submodule has not been reimplemented correctly when a
part of the "git submodule" command was rewritten in C, which has
been corrected.
(merge f38c92452d pk/status-of-uncloned-submodule later to maint).
* The code to automatically shrink the fan-out in the notes tree had
an off-by-one bug, which has been killed.
* The index-pack code now diagnoses a bad input packstream that
records the same object twice when it is used as delta base; the
code used to declare a software bug when encountering such an
input, but it is an input error.
* The code to compute the commit-graph has been taught to use a more
robust way to tell if two object directories refer to the same
thing.
(merge a7df60cac8 tb/commit-graph-object-dir later to maint).
* "git remote rename X Y" needs to adjust configuration variables
(e.g. branch.<name>.remote) whose value used to be X to Y.
branch.<name>.pushRemote is now also updated.
* Update to doc-diff.
* Doc markup fix.
* "git check-ignore" did not work when the given path is explicitly
marked as not ignored with a negative entry in the .gitignore file.
* The merge-recursive machinery failed to refresh the cache entry for
a merge result in a couple of places, resulting in an unnecessary
merge failure, which has been fixed.
* Fix for a bug revealed by a recent change to make the protocol v2
the default.
* In rare cases "git worktree add <path>" could think that <path>
was already a registered worktree even when it wasn't and refuse
to add the new worktree. This has been corrected.
(merge bb69b3b009 es/worktree-avoid-duplication-fix later to maint).
* "git push" should stop from updating a branch that is checked out
when receive.denyCurrentBranch configuration is set, but it failed
to pay attention to checkouts in secondary worktrees. This has
been corrected.
(merge 4d864895a2 hv/receive-denycurrent-everywhere later to maint).
* "git rebase BASE BRANCH" rebased/updated the tip of BRANCH and
checked it out, even when the BRANCH is checked out in a different
worktree. This has been corrected.
(merge b5cabb4a96 es/do-not-let-rebase-switch-to-protected-branch later to maint).
* "git describe" in a repository with multiple root commits sometimes
gave up looking for the best tag to describe a given commit with
too early, which has been adjusted.
* "git merge signed-tag" while lacking the public key started to say
"No signature", which was utterly wrong. This regression has been
reverted.
* MinGW's poll() emulation has been improved.
* "git show" and others gave an object name in raw format in its
error output, which has been corrected to give it in hex.
* "git fetch" over HTTP walker protocol did not show any progress
output. We inherently do not know how much work remains, but still
we can show something not to bore users.
(merge 7655b4119d rs/show-progress-in-dumb-http-fetch later to maint).
* Both "git ls-remote -h" and "git grep -h" give short usage help,
like any other Git subcommand, but it is not unreasonable to expect
that the former would behave the same as "git ls-remote --head"
(there is no other sensible behaviour for the latter). The
documentation has been updated in an attempt to clarify this.

git: updated to 2.25.0
Git 2.25 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.24
-------------------
Backward compatibility notes
UI, Workflows & Features
* A tutorial on object enumeration has been added.
* The branch description ("git branch --edit-description") has been
used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch
command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be
filled.
* "git rebase --preserve-merges" has been marked as deprecated; this
release stops advertising it in the "git rebase -h" output.
* The code to generate multi-pack index learned to show (or not to
show) progress indicators.
* "git apply --3way" learned to honor merge.conflictStyle
configuration variable, like merges would.
* The custom format for "git log --format=<format>" learned the l/L
placeholder that is similar to e/E that fills in the e-mail
address, but only the local part on the left side of '@'.
* Documentation pages for "git shortlog" now list commit limiting
options explicitly.
* The patterns to detect function boundary for Elixir language has
been added.
* The completion script (in contrib/) learned that the "--onto"
option of "git rebase" can take its argument as the value of the
option.
* The userdiff machinery has been taught that "async def" is another
way to begin a "function" in Python.
* "git range-diff" learned to take the "--notes=<ref>" and the
"--no-notes" options to control the commit notes included in the
log message that gets compared.
* "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" run outside of any working tree did
not error out, which has been corrected.
* A few commands learned to take the pathspec from the standard input
or a named file, instead of taking it as the command line
arguments, with the "--pathspec-from-file" option.
* "git submodule" learned a subcommand "set-url".
* "git log" family learned "--pretty=reference" that gives the name
of a commit in the format that is often used to refer to it in log
messages.
* The interaction between "git clone --recurse-submodules" and
alternate object store was ill-designed. The documentation and
code have been taught to make more clear recommendations when the
users see failures.
* Management of sparsely checked-out working tree has gained a
dedicated "sparse-checkout" command.
* Miscellaneous small UX improvements on "git-p4".
* "git sparse-checkout list" subcommand learned to give its output in
a more concise form when the "cone" mode is in effect.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Debugging support for lazy cloning has been a bit improved.
* Move the definition of a set of bitmask constants from 0ctal
literal to (1U<<count) notation.
* Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues.
* Crufty code and logic accumulated over time around the object
parsing and low-level object access used in "git fsck" have been
cleaned up.
* The implementation of "git log --graph" got refactored and then its
output got simplified.
* Follow recent push to move API docs from Documentation/ to header
files and update config.h
* "git bundle" has been taught to use the parse options API. "git
bundle verify" learned "--quiet" and "git bundle create" learned
options to control the progress output.
* Handling of commit objects that use non UTF-8 encoding during
"rebase -i" has been improved.
* The beginning of rewriting "git add -i" in C.
* A label used in the todo list that are generated by "git rebase
--rebase-merges" is used as a part of a refname; the logic to come
up with the label has been tightened to avoid names that cannot be
used as such.
* The logic to avoid duplicate label names generated by "git rebase
--rebase-merges" forgot that the machinery itself uses "onto" as a
label name, which must be avoided by auto-generated labels, which
has been corrected.
* We have had compatibility fallback macro definitions for "PRIuMAX",
"PRIu32", etc. but did not for "PRIdMAX", while the code used the
last one apparently without any hiccup reported recently. The
fallback macro definitions for these <inttypes.h> macros that must
appear in C99 systems have been removed.
* Recently we have declared that GIT_TEST_* variables take the
usual boolean values (it used to be that some used "non-empty
means true" and taking GIT_TEST_VAR=YesPlease as true); make
sure we notice and fail when non-bool strings are given to
these variables.
* Users of oneway_merge() (like "reset --hard") learned to take
advantage of fsmonitor to avoid unnecessary lstat(2) calls.
* Performance tweak on "git push" into a repository with many refs
that point at objects we have never heard of.
* PerfTest fix to avoid stale result mixed up with the latest round
of test results.
* Hide lower-level verify_signed-buffer() API as a pure helper to
implement the public check_signature() function, in order to
encourage new callers to use the correct and more strict
validation.
* Unnecessary reading of state variables back from the disk during
sequencer operation has been reduced.
* The code has been made to avoid gmtime() and localtime() and prefer
their reentrant counterparts.
* In a repository with many packfiles, the cost of the procedure that
avoids registering the same packfile twice was unnecessarily high
by using an inefficient search algorithm, which has been corrected.
* Redo "git name-rev" to avoid recursive calls.
* FreeBSD CI support via Cirrus-CI has been added.
Fixes since v2.24
-----------------
* "rebase -i" ceased to run post-commit hook by mistake in an earlier
update, which has been corrected.
* "git notes copy $original" ought to copy the notes attached to the
original object to HEAD, but a mistaken tightening to command line
parameter validation made earlier disabled that feature by mistake.
* When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root
directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that
as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has
been corrected.
* Code clean-up and a bugfix in the logic used to tell worktree local
and repository global refs apart.
* "git stash save" in a working tree that is sparsely checked out
mistakenly removed paths that are outside the area of interest.
* "git rev-parse --git-path HEAD.lock" did not give the right path
when run in a secondary worktree.
* "git merge --no-commit" needs "--no-ff" if you do not want to move
HEAD, which has been corrected in the manual page for "git bisect".
* "git worktree add" internally calls "reset --hard" that should not
descend into submodules, even when submodule.recurse configuration
is set, but it was affected. This has been corrected.
* Messages from die() etc. can be mixed up from multiple processes
without even line buffering on Windows, which has been worked
around.
* HTTP transport had possible allocator/deallocator mismatch, which
has been corrected.
* The watchman integration for fsmonitor was racy, which has been
corrected to be more conservative.
* Fetching from multiple remotes into the same repository in parallel
had a bad interaction with the recent change to (optionally) update
the commit-graph after a fetch job finishes, as these parallel
fetches compete with each other. Which has been corrected.
* Recent update to "git stash pop" made the command empty the index
when run with the "--quiet" option, which has been corrected.
* "git fetch" codepath had a big "do not lazily fetch missing objects
when I ask if something exists" switch. This has been corrected by
marking the "does this thing exist?" calls with "if not please do not
lazily fetch it" flag.
* Test update to avoid wasted cycles.
* Error handling after "git push" finishes sending the packdata and
waits for the response to the remote side has been improved.
* Some codepaths in "gitweb" that forgot to escape URLs generated
based on end-user input have been corrected.
* CI jobs for macOS has been made less chatty when updating perforce
package used during testing.
* "git unpack-objects" used to show progress based only on the number
of received and unpacked objects, which stalled when it has to
handle an unusually large object. It now shows the throughput as
well.
* The sequencer machinery compared the HEAD and the state it is
attempting to commit to decide if the result would be a no-op
commit, even when amending a commit, which was incorrect, and
has been corrected.
* The code to parse GPG output used to assume incorrectly that the
finterprint for the primary key would always be present for a valid
signature, which has been corrected.
* "git submodule status" and "git submodule status --cached" show
different things, but the documentation did not cover them
correctly, which has been corrected.
* "git reset --patch $object" without any pathspec should allow a
tree object to be given, but incorrectly required a committish,
which has been corrected.
* "git submodule status" that is run from a subdirectory of the
superproject did not work well, which has been corrected.
* The revision walking machinery uses resources like per-object flag
bits that need to be reset before a new iteration of walking
begins, but the resources related to topological walk were not
cleared correctly, which has been corrected.
* TravisCI update.
* While running "revert" or "cherry-pick --edit" for multiple
commits, a recent regression incorrectly detected "nothing to
commit, working tree clean", instead of replaying the commits,
which has been corrected.
* Work around a issue where a FD that is left open when spawning a
child process and is kept open in the child can interfere with the
operation in the parent process on Windows.
* One kind of progress messages were always given during commit-graph
generation, instead of following the "if it takes more than two
seconds, show progress" pattern, which has been corrected.
* "git rebase" did not work well when format.useAutoBase
configuration variable is set, which has been corrected.
* The "diff" machinery learned not to lose added/removed blank lines
in the context when --ignore-blank-lines and --function-context are
used at the same time.
* The test on "fast-import" used to get stuck when "fast-import" died
in the middle.
* "git format-patch" can take a set of configured format.notes values
to specify which notes refs to use in the log message part of the
output. The behaviour of this was not consistent with multiple
--notes command line options, which has been corrected.
* "git p4" used to ignore lfs.storage configuration variable, which
has been corrected.
* Assorted fixes to the directory traversal API.
* Forbid pathnames that the platform's filesystem cannot represent on
MinGW.
* "git rebase --signoff" stopped working when the command was written
in C, which has been corrected.
* An earlier update to Git for Windows declared that a tree object is
invalid if it has a path component with backslash in it, which was
overly strict, which has been corrected. The only protection the
Windows users need is to prevent such path (or any path that their
filesystem cannot check out) from entering the index.
* The code to write split commit-graph file(s) upon fetching computed
bogus value for the parameter used in splitting the resulting
files, which has been corrected.
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
