A release candidate Git v2.10.0-rc1 is now available for testing
at the usual places. It is comprised of 611 non-merge commits
since v2.9.0, contributed by 68 people, 20 of which are new faces.
Relative to v2.10-0-rc0 (the preview), there is a last-minute merge
of Linus's "Let's show longer fingerprint in the GPG output" patch
(which was a bit scary but I made sure push-certificate codepath
would not be negatively affected), among other small topics.
The tarballs are found at:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/testing/
The following public repositories all have a copy of the
'v2.10.0-rc1' tag and the 'master' branch that the tag points at:

Git 2.10 Release Notes (draft)
==============================
Backward compatibility notes
----------------------------
Updates since v2.9
------------------
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 5caeeb8 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.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* "git fast-import" learned the same performance trick to avoid
creating too small a packfile as "git fetch" and "git push" have,
using *.unpackLimit configuration.
* When "git daemon" is run without --[init-]timeout specified, a
connection from a client that silently goes offline can hang around
for a long time, wasting resources. The socket-level KEEPALIVE has
been enabled to allow the OS to notice such failed connections.
* "git upload-pack" command has been updated to use the parse-options
API.
* The "git apply" standalone program is being libified; the first
step to move many state variables into a structure that can be
explicitly (re)initialized to make the machinery callable more
than once has been merged.
* HTTP transport gained an option to produce more detailed debugging
trace.
(merge 73e57aa ep/http-curl-trace later to maint).
* Instead of taking advantage of the fact that a struct string_list
that is allocated with all NULs happens to be the INIT_NODUP kind,
the users of string_list structures are taught to initialize them
explicitly as such, to document their behaviour better.
(merge 2721ce2 jk/string-list-static-init later to maint).
* HTTPd tests learned to show the server error log to help diagnosing
a failing tests.
(merge 44f243d nd/test-lib-httpd-show-error-log-in-verbose later to maint).
* The ownership rule for the piece of memory that hold references to
be fetched in "git fetch" was screwy, which has been cleaned up.
* "git bisect" makes an internal call to "git diff-tree" when
bisection finds the culprit, but this call did not initialize the
data structure to pass to the diff-tree API correctly.
* Further preparatory clean-up for "worktree" feature continues.
(merge 0409e0b nd/worktree-cleanup-post-head-protection later to maint).
* Formats of the various data (and how to validate them) where we use
GPG signature have been documented.
* A new run-command API function pipe_command() is introduced to
sanely feed data to the standard input while capturing data from
the standard output and the standard error of an external process,
which is cumbersome to hand-roll correctly without deadlocking.
The codepath to sign data in a prepared buffer with GPG has been
updated to use this API to read from the status-fd to check for
errors (instead of relying on GPG's exit status).
(merge efee955 jk/gpg-interface-cleanup later to maint).
* Allow t/perf framework to use the features from the most recent
version of Git even when testing an older installed version.
* The commands in the "log/diff" family have had an FILE* pointer in the
data structure they pass around for a long time, but some codepaths
used to always write to the standard output. As a preparatory step
to make "git format-patch" available to the internal callers, these
codepaths have been updated to consistently write into that FILE*
instead.
* Conversion from unsigned char sha1[20] to struct object_id
continues.
* Improve the look of the way "git fetch" reports what happened to
each ref that was fetched.
* The .c/.h sources are marked as such in our .gitattributes file so
that "git diff -W" and friends would work better.
* Code clean-up to avoid using a variable string that compilers may
feel untrustable as printf-style format given to write_file()
helper function.
* "git p4" used a location outside $GIT_DIR/refs/ to place its
temporary branches, which has been moved to refs/git-p4-tmp/.
* Existing autoconf generated test for the need to link with pthread
library did not check all the functions from pthread libraries;
recent FreeBSD has some functions in libc but not others, and we
mistakenly thought linking with libc is enough when it is not.
* When "git fsck" reports a broken link (e.g. a tree object contains
a blob that does not exist), both containing object and the object
that is referred to were reported with their 40-hex object names.
The command learned the "--name-objects" option to show the path to
the containing object from existing refs (e.g. "HEAD~24^2:file.txt").
* Allow http daemon tests in Travis CI tests.
* Makefile assumed that -lrt is always available on platforms that
want to use clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, which is not a
case for recent Mac OS X. The necessary symbols are often found in
libc on many modern systems and having -lrt on the command line, as
long as the library exists, had no effect, but when the platform
removes librt.a that is a different matter--having -lrt will break
the linkage.
This change could be seen as a regression for those who do need to
specify -lrt, as they now specifically ask for NEEDS_LIBRT when
building. Hopefully they are in the minority these days.
* Further preparatory work on the refs API before the pluggable
backend series can land.
* Error handling in the codepaths that updates refs has been
improved.
* The API to iterate over all the refs (i.e. for_each_ref(), etc.)
has been revamped.
* The handling of the "text=auto" attribute has been corrected.
$ echo "* text=auto eol=crlf" >.gitattributes
used to have the same effect as
$ echo "* text eol=crlf" >.gitattributes
i.e. declaring all files are text (ignoring "auto"). The
combination has been fixed to be equivalent to doing
$ git config core.autocrlf true
* A few tests that specifically target "git rebase -i" have been
added.
* Dumb http transport on the client side has been optimized.
(merge ecba195 ew/http-walker later to maint).
* Users of the parse_options_concat() API function need to allocate
extra slots in advance and fill them with OPT_END() when they want
to decide the set of supported options dynamically, which makes the
code error-prone and hard to read. This has been corrected by tweaking
the API to allocate and return a new copy of "struct option" array.
* "git fetch" exchanges batched have/ack messages between the sender
and the receiver, initially doubling every time and then falling
back to enlarge the window size linearly. The "smart http"
transport, being an half-duplex protocol, outgrows the preset limit
too quickly and becomes inefficient when interacting with a large
repository. The internal mechanism learned to grow the window size
more aggressively when working with the "smart http" transport.
* Tests for "git svn" have been taught to reuse the lib-httpd test
infrastructure when testing the subversion integration that
interacts with subversion repositories served over the http://
protocol.
(merge a8a5d25 ew/git-svn-http-tests later to maint).
* "git pack-objects" has a few options that tell it not to pack
objects found in certain packfiles, which require it to scan .idx
files of all available packs. The codepaths involved in these
operations have been optimized for a common case of not having any
non-local pack and/or any .kept pack.
* The t3700 test about "add --chmod=-x" have been made a bit more
robust and generally cleaned up.
(merge 766cdc4 ib/t3700-add-chmod-x-updates later to maint).
* The build procedure learned PAGER_ENV knob that lists what default
environment variable settings to export for popular pagers. This
mechanism is used to tweak the default settings to MORE on FreeBSD.
(merge 995bc22 ew/build-time-pager-tweaks later to maint).
* The http-backend (the server-side component of smart-http
transport) used to trickle the HTTP header one at a time. Now
these write(2)s are batched.
(merge b36045c ew/http-backend-batch-headers later to maint).
* When "git rebase" tries to compare set of changes on the updated
upstream and our own branch, it computes patch-id for all of these
changes and attempts to find matches. This has been optimized by
lazily computing the full patch-id (which is expensive) to be
compared only for changes that touch the same set of paths.
(merge b3dfeeb kw/patch-ids-optim later to maint).
* A handful of tests that were broken under gettext-poison build have
been fixed.
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
Fixes since v2.9
----------------
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.8 in the maintenance
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
notes for details).
* The commands in `git log` family take %C(auto) in a custom format
string. This unconditionally turned the color on, ignoring
--no-color or with --color=auto when the output is not connected to
a tty; this was corrected to make the format truly behave as
"auto".
* "git rev-list --count" whose walk-length is limited with "-n"
option did not work well with the counting optimized to look at the
bitmap index.
* "git show -W" (extend hunks to cover the entire function, delimited
by lines that match the "funcname" pattern) used to show the entire
file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file,
which has been fixed.
* The documentation set has been updated so that literal commands,
configuration variables and environment variables are consistently
typeset in fixed-width font and bold in manpages.
* "git svn propset" subcommand that was added in 2.3 days is
documented now.
* The documentation tries to consistently spell "GPG"; when
referring to the specific program name, "gpg" is used.
* "git reflog" stopped upon seeing an entry that denotes a branch
creation event (aka "unborn"), which made it appear as if the
reflog was truncated.
* The git-prompt scriptlet (in contrib/) was not friendly with those
who uses "set -u", which has been fixed.
* compat/regex code did not cleanly compile.
* A codepath that used alloca(3) to place an unbounded amount of data
on the stack has been updated to avoid doing so.
* "git update-index --add --chmod=+x file" may be usable as an escape
hatch, but not a friendly thing to force for people who do need to
use it regularly. "git add --chmod=+x file" can be used instead.
* Build improvements for gnome-keyring (in contrib/)
* "git status" used to say "working directory" when it meant "working
tree".
* Comments about misbehaving FreeBSD shells have been clarified with
the version number (9.x and before are broken, newer ones are OK).
* "git cherry-pick A" worked on an unborn branch, but "git
cherry-pick A..B" didn't.
* Fix an unintended regression in v2.9 that breaks "clone --depth"
that recurses down to submodules by forcing the submodules to also
be cloned shallowly, which many server instances that host upstream
of the submodules are not prepared for.
* Fix unnecessarily waste in the idiomatic use of ': ${VAR=default}'
to set the default value, without enclosing it in double quotes.
* Some platform-specific code had non-ANSI strict declarations of C
functions that do not take any parameters, which has been
corrected.
* The internal code used to show local timezone offset is not
prepared to handle timestamps beyond year 2100, and gave a
bogus offset value to the caller. Use a more benign looking
+0000 instead and let "git log" going in such a case, instead
of aborting.
* One among four invocations of readlink(1) in our test suite has
been rewritten so that the test can run on systems without the
command (others are in valgrind test framework and t9802).
* t/perf needs /usr/bin/time with GNU extension; the invocation of it
is updated to "gtime" on Darwin.
* A bug, which caused "git p4" while running under verbose mode to
report paths that are omitted due to branch prefix incorrectly, has
been fixed; the command said "Ignoring file outside of prefix" for
paths that are _inside_.
* The top level documentation "git help git" still pointed at the
documentation set hosted at now-defunct google-code repository.
Update it to point to https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git.html
instead.
* A helper function that takes the contents of a commit object and
finds its subject line did not ignore leading blank lines, as is
commonly done by other codepaths. Make it ignore leading blank
lines to match.
* For a long time, we carried an in-code comment that said our
colored output would work only when we use fprintf/fputs on
Windows, which no longer is the case for the past few years.
* "gc.autoPackLimit" when set to 1 should not trigger a repacking
when there is only one pack, but the code counted poorly and did
so.
* Add a test to specify the desired behaviour that currently is not
available in "git rebase -Xsubtree=...".
* More mark-up updates to typeset strings that are expected to
literally typed by the end user in fixed-width font.
* "git commit --amend --allow-empty-message -S" for a commit without
any message body could have misidentified where the header of the
commit object ends.
* "git rebase -i --autostash" did not restore the auto-stashed change
when the operation was aborted.
* Git does not know what the contents in the index should be for a
path added with "git add -N" yet, so "git grep --cached" should not
show hits (or show lack of hits, with -L) in such a path, but that
logic does not apply to "git grep", i.e. searching in the working
tree files. But we did so by mistake, which has been corrected.
* "git blame -M" missed a single line that was moved within the file.
* Fix recently introduced codepaths that are involved in parallel
submodule operations, which gave up on reading too early, and
could have wasted CPU while attempting to write under a corner
case condition.
* "git grep -i" has been taught to fold case in non-ascii locales
correctly.
* A test that unconditionally used "mktemp" learned that the command
is not necessarily available everywhere.
* There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at
the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not
built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git"
potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone
programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that
calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to
make it harder to make mistakes.
(merge de61ceb jk/common-main later to maint).
* The test framework learned a new helper test_match_signal to
check an exit code from getting killed by an expected signal.
* General code clean-up around a helper function to write a
single-liner to a file.
(merge 7eb6e10 jk/write-file later to maint).
* One part of "git am" had an oddball helper function that called
stuff from outside "his" as opposed to calling what we have "ours",
which was not gender-neutral and also inconsistent with the rest of
the system where outside stuff is usuall called "theirs" in
contrast to "ours".
* "git blame file" allowed the lineage of lines in the uncommitted,
unadded contents of "file" to be inspected, but it refused when
"file" did not appear in the current commit. When "file" was
created by renaming an existing file (but the change has not been
committed), this restriction was unnecessarily tight.
* "git add -N dir/file && git write-tree" produced an incorrect tree
when there are other paths in the same directory that sorts after
"file".
* "git fetch http://user:pass@host/repo..." scrubbed the userinfo
part, but "git push" didn't.
* "git merge" with renormalization did not work well with
merge-recursive, due to "safer crlf" conversion kicking in when it
shouldn't.
(merge 1335d76 jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf later to maint).
* The use of strbuf in "git rm" to build filename to remove was a bit
suboptimal, which has been fixed.
* An age old bug that caused "git diff --ignore-space-at-eol"
misbehave has been fixed.
* "git notes merge" had a code to see if a path exists (and fails if
it does) and then open the path for writing (when it doesn't).
Replace it with open with O_EXCL.
* "git pack-objects" and "git index-pack" mostly operate with off_t
when talking about the offset of objects in a packfile, but there
were a handful of places that used "unsigned long" to hold that
value, leading to an unintended truncation.
* Recent update to "git daemon" tries to enable the socket-level
KEEPALIVE, but when it is spawned via inetd, the standard input
file descriptor may not necessarily be connected to a socket.
Suppress an ENOTSOCK error from setsockopt().
* Recent FreeBSD stopped making perl available at /usr/bin/perl;
switch the default the built-in path to /usr/local/bin/perl on not
too ancient FreeBSD releases.
* "git commit --help" said "--no-verify" is only about skipping the
pre-commit hook, and failed to say that it also skipped the
commit-msg hook.
* "git merge" in Git v2.9 was taught to forbid merging an unrelated
lines of history by default, but that is exactly the kind of thing
the "--rejoin" mode of "git subtree" (in contrib/) wants to do.
"git subtree" has been taught to use the "--allow-unrelated-histories"
option to override the default.
* The build procedure for "git persistent-https" helper (in contrib/)
has been updated so that it can be built with more recent versions
of Go.
* There is an optimization used in "git diff $treeA $treeB" to borrow
an already checked-out copy in the working tree when it is known to
be the same as the blob being compared, expecting that open/mmap of
such a file is faster than reading it from the object store, which
involves inflating and applying delta. This however kicked in even
when the checked-out copy needs to go through the convert-to-git
conversion (including the clean filter), which defeats the whole
point of the optimization. The optimization has been disabled when
the conversion is necessary.
* "git -c grep.patternType=extended log --basic-regexp" misbehaved
because the internal API to access the grep machinery was not
designed well.
* Windows port was failing some tests in t4130, due to the lack of
inum in the returned values by its lstat(2) emulation.
* The reflog output format is documented better, and a new format
--date=unix to report the seconds-since-epoch (without timezone)
has been added.
(merge 442f6fd jk/reflog-date later to maint).
* "git difftool <paths>..." started in a subdirectory failed to
interpret the paths relative to that directory, which has been
fixed.
* The characters in the label shown for tags/refs for commits in
"gitweb" output are now properly escaped for proper HTML output.
* FreeBSD can lie when asked mtime of a directory, which made the
untracked cache code to fall back to a slow-path, which in turn
caused tests in t7063 to fail because it wanted to verify the
behaviour of the fast-path.
* Squelch compiler warnings for netmalloc (in compat/) library.
* A small memory leak in the command line parsing of "git blame"
has been plugged.
* The API documentation for hashmap was unclear if hashmap_entry
can be safely discarded without any other consideration. State
that it is safe to do so.
* Not-so-recent rewrite of "git am" that started making internal
calls into the commit machinery had an unintended regression, in
that no matter how many seconds it took to apply many patches, the
resulting committer timestamp for the resulting commits were all
the same.
* "git push --force-with-lease" already had enough logic to allow
ensuring that such a push results in creation of a ref (i.e. the
receiving end did not have another push from sideways that would be
discarded by our force-pushing), but didn't expose this possibility
to the users. It does so now.
(merge 9eed4f3 jk/push-force-with-lease-creation later to maint).
* The mechanism to limit the pack window memory size, when packing is
done using multiple threads (which is the default), is per-thread,
but this was not documented clearly.
(merge 954176c ms/document-pack-window-memory-is-per-thread later to maint).
* "import-tars" fast-import script (in contrib/) used to ignore a
hardlink target and replaced it with an empty file, which has been
corrected to record the same blob as the other file the hardlink is
shared with.
(merge 04e0869 js/import-tars-hardlinks later to maint).
* "git mv dir non-existing-dir/" did not work in some environments
the same way as existing mainstream platforms. The code now moves
"dir" to "non-existing-dir", without relying on rename("A", "B/")
that strips the trailing slash of '/'.
(merge 189d035 js/mv-dir-to-new-directory later to maint).
* The "t/" hierarchy is prone to get an unusual pathname; "make test"
has been taught to make sure they do not contain paths that cannot
be checked out on Windows (and the mechanism can be reusable to
catch pathnames that are not portable to other platforms as need
arises).
(merge c2cafd3 js/test-lint-pathname later to maint).
* When "git merge-recursive" works on history with many criss-cross
merges in "verbose" mode, the names the command assigns to the
virtual merge bases could have overwritten each other by unintended
reuse of the same piece of memory.
(merge 5447a76 rs/pull-signed-tag later to maint).
* "git checkout --detach <branch>" used to give the same advice
message as that is issued when "git checkout <tag>" (or anything
that is not a branch name) is given, but asking with "--detach" is
an explicit enough sign that the user knows what is going on. The
advice message has been squelched in this case.
(merge 779b88a sb/checkout-explit-detach-no-advice later to maint).
* "git difftool" by default ignores the error exit from the backend
commands it spawns, because often they signal that they found
differences by exiting with a non-zero status code just like "diff"
does; the exit status codes 126 and above however are special in
that they are used to signal that the command is not executable,
does not exist, or killed by a signal. "git difftool" has been
taught to notice these exit status codes.
(merge 45a4f5d jk/difftool-command-not-found later to maint).
* Other minor clean-ups and documentation updates
(merge 02a8cfa rs/merge-add-strategies-simplification later to maint).
(merge af4941d rs/merge-recursive-string-list-init later to maint).
