| Git v2.36.2 Release Notes |
| ========================= |
| |
| This maintenance release is primarily to merge down updates to the |
| build and CI procedures from the 'master' front, in order to ensure |
| that we can cut healthy maintenance releases in the future. It also |
| contains a handful of small and trivially-correct bugfixes. |
| |
| Fixes since v2.36.1 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| * Fixes real problems noticed by gcc 12 and works around false |
| positives. |
| |
| * Update URL to the gitk repository. |
| |
| * The "--current" option of "git show-branch" should have been made |
| incompatible with the "--reflog" mode, but this was not enforced, |
| which has been corrected. |
| |
| * "git archive --add-file=<path>" picked up the raw permission bits |
| from the path and propagated to zip output in some cases, without |
| normalization, which has been corrected (tar output did not have |
| this issue). |
| |
| * A bit of test framework fixes with a few fixes to issues found by |
| valgrind. |
| |
| * macOS CI jobs have been occasionally flaky due to tentative version |
| skew between perforce and the homebrew packager. Instead of |
| failing the whole CI job, just let it skip the p4 tests when this |
| happens. |
| |
| * The commit summary shown after making a commit is matched to what |
| is given in "git status" not to use the break-rewrite heuristics. |
| |
| * Avoid problems from interaction between malloc_check and address |
| sanitizer. |
| |
| * "git rebase --keep-base <upstream> <branch-to-rebase>" computed the |
| commit to rebase onto incorrectly, which has been corrected. |
| |
| * The path taken by "git multi-pack-index" command from the end user |
| was compared with path internally prepared by the tool withut first |
| normalizing, which lead to duplicated paths not being noticed, |
| which has been corrected. |
| |
| * "git clone --origin X" leaked piece of memory that held value read |
| from the clone.defaultRemoteName configuration variable, which has |
| been plugged. |
