| Git v2.42 Release Notes |
| ======================= |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| |
| * "git pack-refs" learns "--include" and "--exclude" to tweak the ref |
| hierarchy to be packed using pattern matching. |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| |
| * "git diff-tree" has been taught to take advantage of the |
| sparse-index feature. |
| |
| |
| Fixes since v2.41 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * "git tag" learned to leave the "$GIT_DIR/TAG_EDITMSG" file when the |
| command failed, so that the user can salvage what they typed. |
| (merge 08c12ec1d0 kh/keep-tag-editmsg-upon-failure later to maint). |
| |
| * The "-s" (silent, squelch) option of the "diff" family of commands |
| did not interact with other options that specify the output format |
| well. This has been cleaned up so that it will clear all the |
| formatting options given before. |
| (merge 9d484b92ed jc/diff-s-with-other-options later to maint). |
| |
| * Update documentation regarding Coccinelle patches. |
| (merge 3bd0097cfc gc/doc-cocci-updates later to maint). |
| |
| * Some atoms that can be used in "--format=<format>" for "git ls-tree" |
| were not supported by "git ls-files", even though they were relevant |
| in the context of the latter. |
| (merge 4d28c4f75f zh/ls-files-format-atoms later to maint). |
| |
| * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
| (merge 51f9d2e563 sa/doc-ls-remote later to maint). |
