1 | Git v2.5.2 Release Notes |
2 | ======================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v2.5.1 | |
5 | ------------------ | |
6 | ||
7 | * "git init empty && git -C empty log" said "bad default revision 'HEAD'", | |
8 | which was found to be a bit confusing to new users. | |
9 | ||
10 | * The "interpret-trailers" helper mistook a multi-paragraph title of | |
11 | a commit log message with a colon in it as the end of the trailer | |
12 | block. | |
13 | ||
14 | * When re-priming the cache-tree opportunistically while committing | |
15 | the in-core index as-is, we mistakenly invalidated the in-core | |
16 | index too aggressively, causing the experimental split-index code | |
17 | to unnecessarily rewrite the on-disk index file(s). | |
18 | ||
19 | * "git archive" did not use zip64 extension when creating an archive | |
20 | with more than 64k entries, which nobody should need, right ;-)? | |
21 | ||
22 | * The code in "multiple-worktree" support that attempted to recover | |
23 | from an inconsistent state updated an incorrect file. | |
24 | ||
25 | * "git rev-list" does not take "--notes" option, but did not complain | |
26 | when one is given. | |
27 | ||
28 | * Because the configuration system does not allow "alias.0foo" and | |
29 | "pager.0foo" as the configuration key, the user cannot use '0foo' | |
30 | as a custom command name anyway, but "git 0foo" tried to look these | |
31 | keys up and emitted useless warnings before saying '0foo is not a | |
32 | git command'. These warning messages have been squelched. | |
33 | ||
34 | * We recently rewrote one of the build scripts in Perl, which made it | |
35 | necessary to have Perl to build Git. Reduced Perl dependency by | |
36 | rewriting it again using sed. | |
37 | ||
38 | * t1509 test that requires a dedicated VM environment had some | |
39 | bitrot, which has been corrected. | |
40 | ||
41 | * strbuf_read() used to have one extra iteration (and an unnecessary | |
42 | strbuf_grow() of 8kB), which was eliminated. | |
43 | ||
44 | * The codepath to produce error messages had a hard-coded limit to | |
45 | the size of the message, primarily to avoid memory allocation while | |
46 | calling die(). | |
47 | ||
48 | * When trying to see that an object does not exist, a state errno | |
49 | leaked from our "first try to open a packfile with O_NOATIME and | |
50 | then if it fails retry without it" logic on a system that refuses | |
51 | O_NOATIME. This confused us and caused us to die, saying that the | |
52 | packfile is unreadable, when we should have just reported that the | |
53 | object does not exist in that packfile to the caller. | |
54 | ||
55 | * An off-by-one error made "git remote" to mishandle a remote with a | |
56 | single letter nickname. | |
57 | ||
58 | * A handful of codepaths that used to use fixed-sized arrays to hold | |
59 | pathnames have been corrected to use strbuf and other mechanisms to | |
60 | allow longer pathnames without fearing overflows. | |
61 | ||
62 | Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code | |
63 | clean-ups. |
