git: updated to 2.37.2 Git 2.37.2 Release Notes ======================== This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated on the 'master' front since 2.37.1. Fixes since v2.37.1 ------------------- * "git shortlog -n" relied on the underlying qsort() to be stable, which shouldn't have. Fixed. * Variable quoting fix in the vimdiff driver of "git mergetool". * An earlier attempt to plug leaks placed a clean-up label to jump to at a bogus place, which as been corrected. * Fixes a long-standing corner case bug around directory renames in the merge-ort strategy. * Recent update to vimdiff layout code has been made more robust against different end-user vim settings. * In a non-bare repository, the behavior of Git when the core.worktree configuration variable points at a directory that has a repository as its subdirectory, regressed in Git 2.27 days. * References to commands-to-be-typed-literally in "git rebase" documentation mark-up have been corrected. * Give _() markings to fatal/warning/usage: labels that are shown in front of these messages. * "git mktree --missing" lazily fetched objects that are missing from the local object store, which was totally unnecessary for the purpose of creating the tree object(s) from its input. * Fixes for tests when the source directory has unusual characters in its path, e.g. whitespaces, double-quotes, etc. * Adjust technical/bitmap-format to be formatted by AsciiDoc, and add some missing information to the documentation. * Certain diff options are currently ignored when combined-diff is shown; mark them as incompatible with the feature. * "git clone" from a repository with some ref whose HEAD is unborn did not set the HEAD in the resulting repository correctly, which has been corrected. * mkstemp() emulation on Windows has been improved. * Add missing documentation for "include" and "includeIf" features in "git config" file format, which incidentally teaches the command line completion to include them in its offerings. * Avoid "white/black-list" in documentation and code comments. * Workaround for a compiler warning against use of die() in osx-keychain (in contrib/). * Workaround for a false positive compiler warning. * The resolve-undo information in the index was not protected against GC, which has been corrected. * A corner case bug where lazily fetching objects from a promisor remote resulted in infinite recursion has been corrected. * "git p4" working on UTF-16 files on Windows did not implement CRLF-to-LF conversion correctly, which has been corrected. * "git p4" did not handle non-ASCII client name well, which has been corrected. * "rerere-train" script (in contrib/) used to honor commit.gpgSign while recreating the throw-away merges. * "git checkout" miscounted the paths it updated, which has been corrected. * Fix for a bug that makes write-tree to fail to write out a non-existent index as a tree, introduced in 2.37. * There was a bug in the codepath to upgrade generation information in commit-graph from v1 to v2 format, which has been corrected. Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.

git: updated to 2.35.0 Git 2.35 Release Notes ====================== Updates since Git 2.34 ---------------------- Backward compatibility warts * "_" is now treated as any other URL-valid characters in an URL when matching the per-URL configuration variable names. * The color palette used by "git grep" has been updated to match that of GNU grep. Note to those who build from the source * You may need to define NO_UNCOMPRESS2 Makefile macro if you build with zlib older than 1.2.9. * If your compiler cannot grok C99, the build will fail. See the instruction at the beginning of git-compat-util.h if this happens to you. UI, Workflows & Features * "git status --porcelain=v2" now show the number of stash entries with --show-stash like the normal output does. * "git stash" learned the "--staged" option to stash away what has been added to the index (and nothing else). * "git var GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH" is a way to see what name is used for the newly created branch if "git init" is run. * Various operating modes of "git reset" have been made to work better with the sparse index. * "git submodule deinit" for a submodule whose .git metadata directory is embedded in its working tree refused to work, until the submodule gets converted to use the "absorbed" form where the metadata directory is stored in superproject, and a gitfile at the top-level of the working tree of the submodule points at it. The command is taught to convert such submodules to the absorbed form as needed. * The completion script (in contrib/) learns that the "--date" option of commands from the "git log" family takes "human" and "auto" as valid values. * "Zealous diff3" style of merge conflict presentation has been added. * The "git log --format=%(describe)" placeholder has been extended to allow passing selected command-line options to the underlying "git describe" command. * "default" and "reset" have been added to our color palette. * The cryptographic signing using ssh keys can specify literal keys for keytypes whose name do not begin with the "ssh-" prefix by using the "key::" prefix mechanism (e.g. "key::ecdsa-sha2-nistp256"). * "git fetch" without the "--update-head-ok" option ought to protect a checked out branch from getting updated, to prevent the working tree that checks it out to go out of sync. The code was written before the use of "git worktree" got widespread, and only checked the branch that was checked out in the current worktree, which has been updated. * "git name-rev" has been tweaked to give output that is shorter and easier to understand. * "git apply" has been taught to ignore a message without a patch with the "--allow-empty" option. It also learned to honor the "--quiet" option given from the command line. * The "init" and "set" subcommands in "git sparse-checkout" have been unified for a better user experience and performance. * Many git commands that deal with working tree files try to remove a directory that becomes empty (i.e. "git switch" from a branch that has the directory to another branch that does not would attempt remove all files in the directory and the directory itself). This drops users into an unfamiliar situation if the command was run in a subdirectory that becomes subject to removal due to the command. The commands have been taught to keep an empty directory if it is the directory they were started in to avoid surprising users. * "git am" learns "--empty=(stop|drop|keep)" option to tweak what is done to a piece of e-mail without a patch in it. * The default merge message prepared by "git merge" records the name of the current branch; the name can be overridden with a new option to allow users to pretend a merge is made on a different branch. * The way "git p4" shows file sizes in its output has been updated to use human-readable units. * "git -c branch.autosetupmerge=inherit branch new old" makes "new" to have the same upstream as the "old" branch, instead of marking "old" itself as its upstream. Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. * The use of errno as a means to carry the nature of error in the ref API implementation has been reworked and reduced. * Teach and encourage first-time contributors to this project to state the base commit when they submit their topic. * The command line completion for "git send-email" options have been tweaked to make it easier to keep it in sync with the command itself. * Ensure that the sparseness of the in-core index matches the index.sparse configuration specified by the repository immediately after the on-disk index file is read. * Code clean-up to eventually allow information on remotes defined for an arbitrary repository to be read. * Build optimization. * Tighten code for testing pack-bitmap. * Weather balloon to break people with compilers that do not support C99. * The "reftable" backend for the refs API, without integrating into the refs subsystem, has been added. * More tests are marked as leak-free. * The test framework learns to list unsatisfied test prerequisites, and optionally error out when prerequisites that are expected to be satisfied are not. * The default setting for trace2 event nesting was too low to cause test failures, which is worked around by bumping it up in the test framework. * Drop support for TravisCI and update test workflows at GitHub. * Many tests that used to need GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME mechanism to force "git" to use 'master' as the default name for the initial branch no longer need it; the use of the mechanism from them have been removed. * Allow running our tests while disabling fsync. * Document the parameters given to the reflog entry iterator callback functions. (merge e6e94f34b2 jc/reflog-iterator-callback-doc later to maint). * The test helper for refs subsystem learned to write bogus and/or nonexistent object name to refs to simulate error situations we want to test Git in. * "diff --histogram" optimization. * Weather balloon to find compilers that do not grok variable declaration in the for() loop. * diff and blame commands have been taught to work better with sparse index. * The chainlint test script linter in the test suite has been updated. * The DEVELOPER=yes build uses -std=gnu99 now. * "git format-patch" uses a single rev_info instance and then exits. Mark the structure with UNLEAK() macro to squelch leak sanitizer. * New interface into the tmp-objdir API to help in-core use of the quarantine feature. * Broken &&-chains in the test scripts have been corrected. * The RCS keyword substitution in "git p4" used to be done assuming that the contents are UTF-8 text, which can trigger decoding errors. We now treat the contents as a bytestring for robustness and correctness. * The conditions to choose different definitions of the FLEX_ARRAY macro for vendor compilers has been simplified to make it easier to maintain. * Correctness and performance update to "diff --color-moved" feature. * "git upload-pack" (the other side of "git fetch") used a 8kB buffer but most of its payload came on 64kB "packets". The buffer size has been enlarged so that such a packet fits. * "git fetch" and "git pull" are now declared sparse-index clean. Also "git ls-files" learns the "--sparse" option to help debugging. * Similar message templates have been consolidated so that translators need to work on fewer number of messages. Fixes since v2.34 ----------------- * "git grep" looking in a blob that has non-UTF8 payload was completely broken when linked with certain versions of PCREv2 library in the latest release. * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. * "git pull" with any strategy when the other side is behind us should succeed as it is a no-op, but doesn't. * An earlier change in 2.34.0 caused JGit application (that abused GIT_EDITOR mechanism when invoking "git config") to get stuck with a SIGTTOU signal; it has been reverted. * An earlier change that broke .gitignore matching has been reverted. * Things like "git -c branch.sort=bogus branch new HEAD", i.e. the operation modes of the "git branch" command that do not need the sort key information, no longer errors out by seeing a bogus sort key. (merge 98e7ab6d42 jc/fix-ref-sorting-parse later to maint). * The compatibility implementation for unsetenv(3) were written to mimic ancient, non-POSIX, variant seen in an old glibc; it has been changed to return an integer to match the more modern era. (merge a38989bd5b jc/unsetenv-returns-an-int later to maint). * The clean/smudge conversion code path has been prepared to better work on platforms where ulong is narrower than size_t. (merge 596b5e77c9 mc/clean-smudge-with-llp64 later to maint). * Redact the path part of packfile URI that appears in the trace output. (merge 0ba558ffb1 if/redact-packfile-uri later to maint). * CI has been taught to catch some Unicode directional formatting sequence that can be used in certain mischief. (merge 0e7696c64d js/ci-no-directional-formatting later to maint). * The "--date=format:<strftime>" gained a workaround for the lack of system support for a non-local timezone to handle "%s" placeholder. (merge 9b591b9403 jk/strbuf-addftime-seconds-since-epoch later to maint). * The "merge" subcommand of "git jump" (in contrib/) silently ignored pathspec and other parameters. (merge 67ba13e5a4 jk/jump-merge-with-pathspec later to maint). * The code to decode the length of packed object size has been corrected. (merge 34de5b8eac jt/pack-header-lshift-overflow later to maint). * The advice message given by "git pull" when the user hasn't made a choice between merge and rebase still said that the merge is the default, which no longer is the case. This has been corrected. (merge 71076d0edd ah/advice-pull-has-no-preference-between-rebase-and-merge later to maint). * "git fetch", when received a bad packfile, can fail with SIGPIPE. This wasn't wrong per-se, but we now detect the situation and fail in a more predictable way. (merge 2a4aed42ec jk/fetch-pack-avoid-sigpipe-to-index-pack later to maint). * The function to cull a child process and determine the exit status had two separate code paths for normal callers and callers in a signal handler, and the latter did not yield correct value when the child has caught a signal. The handling of the exit status has been unified for these two code paths. An existing test with flakiness has also been corrected. (merge 5263e22cba jk/t7006-sigpipe-tests-fix later to maint). * When a non-existent program is given as the pager, we tried to reuse an uninitialized child_process structure and crashed, which has been fixed. (merge f917f57f40 em/missing-pager later to maint). * The single-key-input mode in "git add -p" had some code to handle keys that generate a sequence of input via ReadKey(), which did not handle end-of-file correctly, which has been fixed. (merge fc8a8126df cb/add-p-single-key-fix later to maint). * "git rebase -x" added an unnecessary 'exec' instructions before 'noop', which has been corrected. (merge cc9dcdee61 en/rebase-x-fix later to maint). * When the "git push" command is killed while the receiving end is trying to report what happened to the ref update proposals, the latter used to die, due to SIGPIPE. The code now ignores SIGPIPE to increase our chances to run the post-receive hook after it happens. (merge d34182b9e3 rj/receive-pack-avoid-sigpipe-during-status-reporting later to maint). * "git worktree add" showed "Preparing worktree" message to the standard output stream, but when it failed, the message from die() went to the standard error stream. Depending on the order the stdio streams are flushed at the program end, this resulted in confusing output. It has been corrected by sending all the chatty messages to the standard error stream. (merge b50252484f es/worktree-chatty-to-stderr later to maint). * Coding guideline document has been updated to clarify what goes to standard error in our system. (merge e258eb4800 es/doc-stdout-vs-stderr later to maint). * The sparse-index/sparse-checkout feature had a bug in its use of the matching code to determine which path is in or outside the sparse checkout patterns. (merge 8c5de0d265 ds/sparse-deep-pattern-checkout-fix later to maint). * "git rebase -x" by mistake started exporting the GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables when the command was rewritten in C, which has been corrected. (merge 434e0636db en/rebase-x-wo-git-dir-env later to maint). * When "git log" implicitly enabled the "decoration" processing without being explicitly asked with "--decorate" option, it failed to read and honor the settings given by the "--decorate-refs" option. * "git fetch --set-upstream" did not check if there is a current branch, leading to a segfault when it is run on a detached HEAD, which has been corrected. (merge 17baeaf82d ab/fetch-set-upstream-while-detached later to maint). * Among some code paths that ask an yes/no question, only one place gave a prompt that looked different from the others, which has been updated to match what the others create. (merge 0fc8ed154c km/help-prompt-fix later to maint). * "git log --invert-grep --author=<name>" used to exclude commits written by the given author, but now "--invert-grep" only affects the matches made by the "--grep=<pattern>" option. (merge 794c000267 rs/log-invert-grep-with-headers later to maint). * "git grep --perl-regexp" failed to match UTF-8 characters with wildcard when the pattern consists only of ASCII letters, which has been corrected. (merge 32e3e8bc55 rs/pcre2-utf later to maint). * Certain sparse-checkout patterns that are valid in non-cone mode led to segfault in cone mode, which has been corrected. * Use of certain "git rev-list" options with "git fast-export" created nonsense results (the worst two of which being "--reverse" and "--invert-grep --grep=<foo>"). The use of "--first-parent" is made to behave a bit more sensible than before. (merge 726a228dfb ws/fast-export-with-revision-options later to maint). * Perf tests were run with end-user's shell, but it has been corrected to use the shell specified by $TEST_SHELL_PATH. (merge 9ccab75608 ja/perf-use-specified-shell later to maint). * Fix dependency rules to generate hook-list.h header file. (merge d3fd1a6667 ab/makefile-hook-list-dependency-fix later to maint). * "git stash" by default triggers its "push" action, but its implementation also made "git stash -h" to show short help only for "git stash push", which has been corrected. (merge ca7990cea5 ab/do-not-limit-stash-help-to-push later to maint). * "git apply --3way" bypasses the attempt to do a three-way application in more cases to address the regression caused by the recent change to use direct application as a fallback. (merge 34d607032c jz/apply-3-corner-cases later to maint). * Fix performance-releated bug in "git subtree" (in contrib/). (merge 3ce8888fb4 jl/subtree-check-parents-argument-passing-fix later to maint). * Extend the guidance to choose the base commit to build your work on, and hint/nudge contributors to read others' changes. (merge fdfae830f8 jc/doc-submitting-patches-choice-of-base later to maint). * A corner case bug in the ort merge strategy has been corrected. (merge d30126c20d en/merge-ort-renorm-with-rename-delete-conflict-fix later to maint). * "git stash apply" forgot to attempt restoring untracked files when it failed to restore changes to tracked ones. (merge 71cade5a0b en/stash-df-fix later to maint). * Calling dynamically loaded functions on Windows has been corrected. (merge 4a9b204920 ma/windows-dynload-fix later to maint). * Some lockfile code called free() in signal-death code path, which has been corrected. (merge 58d4d7f1c5 ps/lockfile-cleanup-fix later to maint). * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. (merge 74db416c9c cw/protocol-v2-doc-fix 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.

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.
