1 | Git v2.6.5 Release Notes |
2 | ======================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v2.6.4 | |
5 | ------------------ | |
6 | ||
7 | * Because "test_when_finished" in our test framework queues the | |
8 | clean-up tasks to be done in a shell variable, it should not be | |
9 | used inside a subshell. Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch | |
10 | such uses, and fix the ones that were found. | |
11 | ||
12 | * Update "git subtree" (in contrib/) so that it can take whitespaces | |
13 | in the pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of | |
14 | the directory that the repository is in. | |
15 | ||
16 | * Cosmetic improvement to lock-file error messages. | |
17 | ||
18 | * mark_tree_uninteresting() has code to handle the case where it gets | |
19 | passed a NULL pointer in its 'tree' parameter, but the function had | |
20 | 'object = &tree->object' assignment before checking if tree is | |
21 | NULL. This gives a compiler an excuse to declare that tree will | |
22 | never be NULL and apply a wrong optimization. Avoid it. | |
23 | ||

24 | * The helper used to iterate over loose object directories to prune |
25 | stale objects did not closedir() immediately when it is done with a | |
26 | directory--a callback such as the one used for "git prune" may want | |
27 | to do rmdir(), but it would fail on open directory on platforms | |
28 | such as WinXP. | |
29 | ||
30 | * "git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths outside | |
31 | the client spec as empty commits. It has been corrected to ignore | |
32 | them instead, with a new configuration git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a | |
33 | backward compatibility knob. | |
34 | ||
35 | * The exit code of git-fsck did not reflect some types of errors | |
36 | found in packed objects, which has been corrected. | |
37 | ||
833e4825 JH |
38 | * The completion script (in contrib/) used to list "git column" |
39 | (which is not an end-user facing command) as one of the choices | |
40 | ||
41 | * Improve error reporting when SMTP TLS fails. | |
42 | ||
43 | * When getpwuid() on the system returned NULL (e.g. the user is not | |
44 | in the /etc/passwd file or other uid-to-name mappings), the | |
45 | codepath to find who the user is to record it in the reflog barfed | |
46 | and died. Loosen the check in this codepath, which already accepts | |
47 | questionable ident string (e.g. host part of the e-mail address is | |
48 | obviously bogus), and in general when we operate fmt_ident() function | |
49 | in non-strict mode. | |
50 | ||
51 | * "git symbolic-ref" forgot to report a failure with its exit status. | |
52 | ||
53 | * History traversal with "git log --source" that starts with an | |
54 | annotated tag failed to report the tag as "source", due to an | |
55 | old regression in the command line parser back in v2.2 days. | |
56 | ||

57 | Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code |
58 | clean-ups. |
