Git 2.32 Release Notes (draft)
==============================
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.
