1 | Git 2.38.2 Release Notes |
| 2 | ======================== | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | This is to backport various fixes accumulated during the development | |
| 5 | towards Git 2.39, the next feature release. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | ||
| 8 | Fixes since v2.38.1 | |
| 9 | ------------------- | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | * Update CodingGuidelines to clarify what features to use and avoid | |
| 12 | in C99. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | * The codepath that reads from the index v4 had unaligned memory | |
| 15 | accesses, which has been corrected. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | * "git remote rename" failed to rename a remote without fetch | |
| 18 | refspec, which has been corrected. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | * "git clone" did not like to see the "--bare" and the "--origin" | |
| 21 | options used together without a good reason. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | * Fix messages incorrectly marked for translation. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | * "git fsck" failed to release contents of tree objects already used | |
| 26 | from the memory, which has been fixed. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | * "git rebase -i" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to a commit | |
| 29 | itself, which has been corrected. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | * In read-only repositories, "git merge-tree" tried to come up with a | |
| 32 | merge result tree object, which it failed (which is not wrong) and | |
| 33 | led to a segfault (which is bad), which has been corrected. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | * Force C locale while running tests around httpd to make sure we can | |
| 36 | find expected error messages in the log. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | * Fix a logic in "mailinfo -b" that miscomputed the length of a | |
| 39 | substring, which lead to an out-of-bounds access. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | * The codepath to sign learned to report errors when it fails to read | |
| 42 | from "ssh-keygen". | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | * "GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description" resulted in failure, | |
| 45 | which has been corrected. | |
| 46 | ||
| e7e5c6f7 JH |
47 | * Documentation on various Boolean GIT_* environment variables have |
| 48 | been clarified. | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | * "git multi-pack-index repack/expire" used to repack unreachable | |
| 51 | cruft into a new pack, which have been corrected. | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | * The code to clean temporary object directories (used for | |
| 54 | quarantine) tried to remove them inside its signal handler, which | |
| 55 | was a no-no. | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | * "git branch --edit-description" on an unborh branch misleadingly | |
| 58 | said that no such branch exists, which has been corrected. | |
| 59 | ||
| 8706a599 JH |
60 | * GitHub CI settings have been adjusted to recent reality, merging |
| 61 | and cherry-picking necessary topics that have been prepared for Git | |
| 62 | 2.39. | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | * `git rebase --update-refs` would delete references when all `update-ref` | |
| 65 | commands in the sequencer were removed, which has been corrected. | |
| 66 | ||
| 7d8dc5a1 | 67 | Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
