| 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. |
