  34 Fixes since v2.34
  35 -----------------
  36
  37  * "git grep" looking in a blob that has non-UTF8 payload was
  38    completely broken when linked with certain versions of PCREv2
  39    library in the latest release.
  40
  41  * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
  42
  43  * "git pull" with any strategy when the other side is behind us
  44    should succeed as it is a no-op, but doesn't.
  45
  46  * An earlier change in 2.34.0 caused JGit application (that abused
  47    GIT_EDITOR mechanism when invoking "git config") to get stuck with
  48    a SIGTTOU signal; it has been reverted.
  49
  50  * An earlier change that broke .gitignore matching has been reverted.
  51
  52  * Things like "git -c branch.sort=bogus branch new HEAD", i.e. the
  53    operation modes of the "git branch" command that do not need the
  54    sort key information, no longer errors out by seeing a bogus sort
  55    key.
  56    (merge 98e7ab6d42 jc/fix-ref-sorting-parse later to maint).
  57
  58  * The compatibility implementation for unsetenv(3) were written to
  59    mimic ancient, non-POSIX, variant seen in an old glibc; it has been
  60    changed to return an integer to match the more modern era.
  61    (merge a38989bd5b jc/unsetenv-returns-an-int later to maint).
  62
  63  * The clean/smudge conversion code path has been prepared to better
  64    work on platforms where ulong is narrower than size_t.
  65    (merge 596b5e77c9 mc/clean-smudge-with-llp64 later to maint).
