1 | Git v2.4.2 Release Notes |
2 | ======================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v2.4.1 | |
5 | ------------------ | |
6 | ||
7 | * "git rev-list --objects $old --not --all" to see if everything that | |
8 | is reachable from $old is already connected to the existing refs | |
9 | was very inefficient. | |
10 | ||
11 | * "hash-object --literally" introduced in v2.2 was not prepared to | |
12 | take a really long object type name. | |
13 | ||
14 | * "git rebase --quiet" was not quite quiet when there is nothing to | |
15 | do. | |
16 | ||
17 | * The completion for "log --decorate=" parameter value was incorrect. | |
18 | ||
19 | * "filter-branch" corrupted commit log message that ends with an | |
20 | incomplete line on platforms with some "sed" implementations that | |
21 | munge such a line. Work it around by avoiding to use "sed". | |
22 | ||
23 | * "git daemon" fails to build from the source under NO_IPV6 | |
24 | configuration (regression in 2.4). | |
25 | ||
26 | * "git stash pop/apply" forgot to make sure that not just the working | |
27 | tree is clean but also the index is clean. The latter is important | |
28 | as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for | |
29 | conflict resolution. | |
30 | ||
31 | * We have prepended $GIT_EXEC_PATH and the path "git" is installed in | |
32 | (typically "/usr/bin") to $PATH when invoking subprograms and hooks | |
33 | for almost eternity, but the original use case the latter tried to | |
34 | support was semi-bogus (i.e. install git to /opt/foo/git and run it | |
35 | without having /opt/foo on $PATH), and more importantly it has | |
36 | become less and less relevant as Git grew more mainstream (i.e. the | |
37 | users would _want_ to have it on their $PATH). Stop prepending the | |
38 | path in which "git" is installed to users' $PATH, as that would | |
39 | interfere the command search order people depend on (e.g. they may | |
40 | not like versions of programs that are unrelated to Git in /usr/bin | |
41 | and want to override them by having different ones in /usr/local/bin | |
42 | and have the latter directory earlier in their $PATH). | |
43 | ||
44 | Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code | |
45 | clean-ups. |
