Git - v2.37.2
This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated on the 'master'
front since 2.37.1.
Fixes since v2.37.1
-
"git shortlog -n" relied on the underlying qsort() to be stable,
which shouldn't have. Fixed. -
Variable quoting fix in the vimdiff driver of "git mergetool".
-
An earlier attempt to plug leaks placed a clean-up label to jump to
at a bogus place, which as been corrected. -
Fixes a long-standing corner case bug around directory renames in
the merge-ort strategy. -
Recent update to vimdiff layout code has been made more robust
against different end-user vim settings. -
In a non-bare repository, the behavior of Git when the
core.worktree configuration variable points at a directory that has
a repository as its subdirectory, regressed in Git 2.27 days. -
References to commands-to-be-typed-literally in "git rebase"
documentation mark-up have been corrected. -
Give _() markings to fatal/warning/usage: labels that are shown in
front of these messages. -
"git mktree --missing" lazily fetched objects that are missing from
the local object store, which was totally unnecessary for the purpose
of creating the tree object(s) from its input. -
Fixes for tests when the source directory has unusual characters in
its path, e.g. whitespaces, double-quotes, etc. -
Adjust technical/bitmap-format to be formatted by AsciiDoc, and
add some missing information to the documentation. -
Certain diff options are currently ignored when combined-diff is
shown; mark them as incompatible with the feature. -
"git clone" from a repository with some ref whose HEAD is unborn
did not set the HEAD in the resulting repository correctly, which
has been corrected. -
mkstemp() emulation on Windows has been improved.
-
Add missing documentation for "include" and "includeIf" features in
"git config" file format, which incidentally teaches the command
line completion to include them in its offerings. -
Avoid "white/black-list" in documentation and code comments.
-
Workaround for a compiler warning against use of die() in
osx-keychain (in contrib/). -
Workaround for a false positive compiler warning.
-
The resolve-undo information in the index was not protected against
GC, which has been corrected. -
A corner case bug where lazily fetching objects from a promisor
remote resulted in infinite recursion has been corrected. -
"git p4" working on UTF-16 files on Windows did not implement
CRLF-to-LF conversion correctly, which has been corrected. -
"git p4" did not handle non-ASCII client name well, which has been
corrected. -
"rerere-train" script (in contrib/) used to honor commit.gpgSign
while recreating the throw-away merges. -
"git checkout" miscounted the paths it updated, which has been
corrected. -
Fix for a bug that makes write-tree to fail to write out a
non-existent index as a tree, introduced in 2.37. -
There was a bug in the codepath to upgrade generation information
in commit-graph from v1 to v2 format, which has been corrected.
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
