The command + was taught to create a stash to save the local changes. + + * A new builtin "git format-rev" is introduced for pretty formatting + one revision expression per line or commit object names found in + running text. + + * "git history" learned "fixup" command. + + * The internal URL parsing logic has been made accessible via a new + subcommand "git url-parse". + + * Misspelt proxy URL (e.g., httt://...) did not trigger any warning + or failure, which has been corrected. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. +-------------------------------------------------------------- + + * Promisor remote handling has been refactored and fixed in + preparation for auto-configuration of advertised remotes. + + * Rust support is enabled by default (but still allows opting out) in + some future version of Git. + + * Preparation of the xdiff/ codebase to work with Rust. + + * Use a larger buffer size in the code paths to ingest pack stream. + + * Refactor service routines in the ref subsystem backends. + + * Shrink wasted memory in Myers diff that does not account for common + prefix and suffix removal. + + * Enable expensive tests to catch topics that may cause breakages on + integration branches closer to their origin in the contributor PR + builds. + + +Fixes since v2.54 +----------------- + + * Code clean-up to use the right instance of a repository instance in + calls inside refs subsystem. + (merge 57c590feb9 sp/refs-reduce-the-repository later to maint). + + * The check that implements the logic to see if an in-core cache-tree + is fully ready to write out a tree object was broken, which has + been corrected. + (merge 521731213c dl/cache-tree-fully-valid-fix later to maint). + + * The test suite harness and many individual test scripts have been + updated to work correctly when 'set -e' is in effect, which helps + detect misspelled test commands. + (merge ffe8005b9d ps/test-set-e-clean later to maint). + + * Revert a recent change that introduced a regression to help mksh users. - (merge 8b44deebaf jk/revert-aa-reap-transport-child-processes later to maint). + + * Update various GitHub Actions versions. - (merge 4a6ed9d09f js/ci-github-actions-update later to maint). + + * Avoid hitting the pathname limit for socks proxy socket during the + test.. - (merge b33bea27a2 js/t5564-socks-use-short-path later to maint). + + * To help Windows 10 installations, avoid removing files whose + contents are still mmap()'ed. - (merge 4bb086cfa2 js/maintenance-fix-deadlock-on-win10 later to maint). + + * The 'git backfill' command now rejects revision-limiting options that + are incompatible with its operation, uses standard documentation for + revision ranges, and includes blobs from boundary commits by default + to improve performance of subsequent operations. + (merge a1ad4a0fca en/backfill-fixes-and-edges later to maint). + + * "git grep" update. + (merge 9ff4b5ab1b rs/grep-column-only-match-fix later to maint). + + * Headers from glibc 2.43 when used with clang does not allow + disabling C11 language features, causing build failures.. - (merge 0a6d29090c ps/clang-w-glibc-2.43-and-_Generic later to maint). + + * The 'http.emptyAuth=auto' configuration now correctly attempts + Negotiate authentication before falling back to manual credentials. + This allows seamless Kerberos ticket-based authentication without + requiring users to explicitly set 'http.emptyAuth=true'. + (merge 4919938d28 mc/http-emptyauth-negotiate-fix later to maint). + + * Ramifications of turning off commit-graph has been documented a bit + more clearly. + (merge 48c855bb8f kh/doc-commit-graph later to maint). + + * "git rebase --update-refs", when used with an rebase.instructionFormat + with "%d" (describe) in it, tried to update local branch HEAD by + mistake, which has been corrected. + (merge 106b6885c7 ag/rebase-update-refs-limit-to-branches later to maint). + + * Tweak the way how sideband messages from remote are printed while + we talk with a remote repository to avoid tickling terminal + emulator glitches. + (merge 31e8fcabd8 rs/sideband-clear-line-before-print later to maint). + + * The configuration variable submodule.fetchJobs was not read correctly, + which has been corrected. + (merge aa45a5902f sj/submodule-update-clone-config-fix later to maint). + + * Update code paths that assumed "unsigned long" was long enough for + "size_t". + (merge 7a094d68a2 js/objects-larger-than-4gb-on-windows later to maint). + + * Stop using unmaintained custom allocator in Windows build which was + the last user of the code. - (merge 0b72550110 js/mingw-no-nedmalloc later to maint). + + * The computation to shorten the filenames shown in diffstat measured + width of individual UTF-8 characters to add up, but forgot to take + into account error cases (e.g., an invalid UTF-8 sequence, or a + control character). + (merge 09d86a3b98 en/diffstat-utf8-truncation-fix later to maint). + + * Some tests assume that bare repository accesses are by default + allowed; rewrite some of them to avoid the assumption, rewrite + others to explicitly set safe.bareRepository to allow them. + (merge 985b38ca6c js/adjust-tests-to-explicitly-access-bare-repo later to maint). + + * Signing commit with custom encoding was passing the data to be + signed at a wrong stage in the pipeline, which has been corrected. + (merge 7735d7eee3 bc/sign-commit-with-custom-encoding later to maint). + + * Further update to the i18n alias support to avoid regressions. -
