| Git 2.30 Release Notes |
| ====================== |
| |
| Updates since v2.29 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| UI, Workflows & Features |
| |
| * Userdiff for PHP update. |
| |
| * Userdiff for Rust update. |
| |
| * Userdiff for CSS update. |
| |
| * The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git |
| stash show" takes the options "git diff" takes. |
| |
| * "git worktree list" now shows if each worktree is locked. This |
| possibly may open us to show other kinds of states in the future. |
| |
| * "git maintenance", an extended big brother of "git gc", continues |
| to evolve. |
| |
| * "git push --force-with-lease[=<ref>]" can easily be misused to lose |
| commits unless the user takes good care of their own "git fetch". |
| A new option "--force-if-includes" attempts to ensure that what is |
| being force-pushed was created after examining the commit at the |
| tip of the remote ref that is about to be force-replaced. |
| |
| * "git clone" learned clone.defaultremotename configuration variable |
| to customize what nickname to use to call the remote the repository |
| was cloned from. |
| |
| * "git checkout" learned to use checkout.guess configuration variable |
| and enable/disable its "--[no-]guess" option accordingly. |
| |
| * "git resurrect" script (in contrib/) learned that the object names |
| may be longer than 40-hex depending on the hash function in use. |
| |
| |
| Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| |
| * Use "git archive" more to produce the release tarball. |
| |
| * GitHub Actions automated test improvement to skip tests on a tree |
| identical to what has already been tested. |
| |
| |
| Fixes since v2.29 |
| ----------------- |
| |
| * In 2.29, "--committer-date-is-author-date" option of "rebase" and |
| "am" subcommands lost the e-mail address by mistake, which has been |
| corrected. |
| (merge 5f35edd9d7 jk/committer-date-is-author-date-fix later to maint). |
| |
| * "git checkout -p A...B [-- <path>]" did not work, even though the |
| same command without "-p" correctly used the merge-base between |
| commits A and B. |
| (merge 35166b1fb5 dl/checkout-p-merge-base later to maint). |
| |
| * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
| (merge 3e0a5dc9af cc/doc-filter-branch-typofix later to maint). |
| (merge 32c83afc2c cw/ci-ghwf-check-ws-errors later to maint). |
| (merge 5eb2ed691b rs/tighten-callers-of-deref-tag later to maint). |
