| Git v2.3.2 Release Notes |
| ======================== |
| |
| Fixes since v2.3.1 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| * "update-index --refresh" used to leak when an entry cannot be |
| refreshed for whatever reason. |
| |
| * "git fast-import" used to crash when it could not close and |
| conclude the resulting packfile cleanly. |
| |
| * "git blame" died, trying to free an uninitialized piece of memory. |
| |
| * "git merge-file" did not work correctly in a subdirectory. |
| |
| * "git submodule add" failed to squash "path/to/././submodule" to |
| "path/to/submodule". |
| |
| * In v2.2.0, we broke "git prune" that runs in a repository that |
| borrows from an alternate object store. |
| |
| * Certain older vintages of cURL give irregular output from |
| "curl-config --vernum", which confused our build system. |
| |
| * An earlier workaround to squelch unhelpful deprecation warnings |
| from the compiler on Mac OSX unnecessarily set minimum required |
| version of the OS, which the user might want to raise (or lower) |
| for other reasons. |
| |
| * Longstanding configuration variable naming rules has been added to |
| the documentation. |
| |
| * The credential helper for Windows (in contrib/) used to mishandle |
| a user name with an at-sign in it. |
| |
| * Older GnuPG implementations may not correctly import the keyring |
| material we prepare for the tests to use. |
| |
| * Clarify in the documentation that "remote.<nick>.pushURL" and |
| "remote.<nick>.URL" are there to name the same repository accessed |
| via different transports, not two separate repositories. |
| |
| * The pack bitmap support did not build with older versions of GCC. |
| |
| * Reading configuration from a blob object, when it ends with a lone |
| CR, use to confuse the configuration parser. |
| |
| * We didn't format an integer that wouldn't fit in "int" but in |
| "uintmax_t" correctly. |
| |
| * "git push --signed" gave an incorrectly worded error message when |
| the other side did not support the capability. |
| |
| * "git fetch" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to "list" |
| command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD. |
| |
| * The insn sheet "git rebase -i" creates did not fully honor |
| core.abbrev settings. |
| |
| * The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after |
| running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it |
| is not run as root, we used "can we write into the / directory?" as |
| a cheap substitute, but on some platforms that is not a good |
| heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to |
| check what they really require. |
| |
| * The configuration variable 'mailinfo.scissors' was hard to |
| discover in the documentation. |
| |
| * Correct a breakage to git-svn around v2.2 era that triggers |
| premature closing of FileHandle. |
| |
| * Even though we officially haven't dropped Perl 5.8 support, the |
| Getopt::Long package that came with it does not support "--no-" |
| prefix to negate a boolean option; manually add support to help |
| people with older Getopt::Long package. |
| |
| Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. |
