| Git 2.28 Release Notes |
| ====================== |
| |
| Updates since v2.27 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| Backward compatibility notes |
| |
| * "feature.experimental" configuration variable is to let volunteers |
| easily opt into a set of newer features, which use of the v2 |
| transport protocol is now a part of. |
| |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| |
| * The commands in the "diff" family learned to honor "diff.relative" |
| configuration variable. |
| |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| |
| * Code optimization for a common case. |
| (merge 8777616e4d an/merge-single-strategy-optim later to maint). |
| |
| * We've adopted a convention that any on-stack structure can be |
| initialized to have zero values in all fields with "= { 0 }", |
| even when the first field happens to be a pointer, but sparse |
| complained that a null pointer should be spelled NULL for a long |
| time. Start using -Wno-universal-initializer option to squelch |
| it (the latest sparse has it on by default). |
| |
| |
| |
| Fixes since v2.27 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * The "--prepare-p4-only" option of "git p4" is supposed to stop |
| after replaying one changeset, but kept going (by mistake?) |
| |
| * The error message from "git checkout -b foo -t bar baz" was |
| confusing. |
| |
| * Some repositories in the wild have commits that record nonsense |
| committer timezone (e.g. rails.git); "git fast-import" learned an |
| option to pass these nonsense timestamps intact to allow recreating |
| existing repositories as-is. |
| (merge d42a2fb72f en/fast-import-looser-date later to maint). |
| |
| * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
| (merge 2c31a7aa44 jx/pkt-line-doc-count-fix later to maint). |
| (merge d63ae31962 cb/t5608-cleanup later to maint). |
