| Git v2.9.1 Release Notes |
| ======================== |
| |
| Fixes since v2.9 |
| ---------------- |
| |
| * When "git daemon" is run without --[init-]timeout specified, a |
| connection from a client that silently goes offline can hang around |
| for a long time, wasting resources. The socket-level KEEPALIVE has |
| been enabled to allow the OS to notice such failed connections. |
| |
| * The commands in `git log` family take %C(auto) in a custom format |
| string. This unconditionally turned the color on, ignoring |
| --no-color or with --color=auto when the output is not connected to |
| a tty; this was corrected to make the format truly behave as |
| "auto". |
| |
| * "git rev-list --count" whose walk-length is limited with "-n" |
| option did not work well with the counting optimized to look at the |
| bitmap index. |
| |
| * "git show -W" (extend hunks to cover the entire function, delimited |
| by lines that match the "funcname" pattern) used to show the entire |
| file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file, |
| which has been fixed. |
| |
| |
| Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
