1 Git 2.34 Release Notes

2 ======================

4 Updates since Git 2.33

5 ----------------------

7 UI, Workflows & Features

9 * Pathname expansion (like "~username/") learned a way to specify a

10 location relative to Git installation (e.g. its $sharedir which is

11 $(prefix)/share), with "%(prefix)".

14 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

16 * "git bisect" spawned "git show-branch" only to pretty-print the

18 tested; this has been rewritten in C.

20 * "git add" can work better with the sparse index.

22 * Support for ancient versions of cURL library (pre 7.19.4) has been

23 dropped.

25 * A handful of tests that assumed implementation details of files

26 backend for refs have been cleaned up.

28 * trace2 logs learned to show parent process name to see in what

29 context Git was invoked.

31 * Loading of ref tips to prepare for common ancestry negotiation in

32 "git fetch-pack" has been optimized by taking advantage of the

33 commit graph when available.
