Add knobs to make it workable on macOS. + + * After checking out a "branch" that is a symbolic-ref that points at + another branch, "git symbolic-ref HEAD" reports the underlying + branch, not the symbolic-ref the user gave checkout as argument. + The command learned the "--no-recurse" option to stop after + dereferencing a symbolic-ref only once. + + * "git branch --edit-description @{-1}" is now a way to edit branch + description of the branch you were on before switching to the + current branch. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. +-------------------------------------------------------------- + + * With a bit of header twiddling, use the native regexp library on + macOS instead of the compat/ one. + + * Prepare for GNU [ef]grep that throw warning of their uses. + + * Sources related to fuzz testing have been moved down to their own + directory. + + * Most credential helpers ignored unknown entries in a credential + description, but a few died upon seeing them. The latter were + taught to ignore them, too + + * "scalar unregister" in a repository that is already been + unregistered reported an error. + + * Remove error detection from a function that fetches from promisor + remotes, and make it die when such a fetch fails to bring all the + requested objects, to give an early failure to various operations. + + * Update CodingGuidelines to clarify what features to use and avoid + in C99. - (merge 438c2f859b ab/coding-guidelines-c99 later to maint). + + * Avoid false-positive from LSan whose assumption may be broken with + higher optimization levels. + + * Enable address and undefined sanitizer tasks at GitHub Actions CI. + + +Fixes since v2.38 +----------------- + + * The codepath that reads from the index v4 had unaligned memory + accesses, which has been corrected. - (merge 4a6ed30f96 vd/fix-unaligned-read-index-v4 later to maint). + + * Fix messages incorrectly marked for translation. - (merge 02cb8b9ee3 ah/fsmonitor-daemon-usage-non-l10n later to maint). + + * "git fsck" failed to release contents of tree objects already used + from the memory, which has been fixed. - (merge 51b27747e5 jk/fsck-on-diet later to maint). + + * "git clone" did not like to see the "--bare" and the "--origin" + options used together without a good reason. - (merge 3b910d6e29 jk/clone-allow-bare-and-o-together later to maint). + + * "git remote rename" failed to rename a remote without fetch + refspec, which has been corrected. - (merge 5a97b38109 jk/remote-rename-without-fetch-refspec later to maint). + + * Documentation on various Boolean GIT_* environment variables have + been clarified. + (merge 819fb68222 jc/environ-docs later to maint). + + * "git rebase -i" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to a commit + itself, which has been corrected. - (merge 3e367a5f2f ja/rebase-i-avoid-amending-self later to maint). + + * "git multi-pack-index repack/expire" used to repack unreachable + cruft into a new pack, which have been corrected. + (merge b62ad5681f tb/midx-repack-ignore-cruft-packs later to maint). + + * In read-only repositories, "git merge-tree" tried to come up with a + merge result tree object, which it failed (which is not wrong) and + led to a segfault (which is bad), which has been corrected. - (merge 92481d1b26 js/merge-ort-in-read-only-repo later to maint). + + * Force C locale while running tests around httpd to make sure we can + find expected error messages in the log. - (merge 7a2d8ea47e rs/test-httpd-in-C-locale later to maint). + + * Fix a logic in "mailinfo -b" that miscomputed the length of a + substring, which lead to an out-of-bounds access. - (merge 3ef1494685 pw/mailinfo-b-fix later to maint). + + * The codepath to sign learned to report errors when it fails to read + from "ssh-keygen". - (merge 36fb0d07d8 pw/ssh-sign-report-errors later to maint). + + * Code clean-up that results in plugging a leak. - (merge 246526d019 rs/bisect-start-leakfix later to maint). + + * "GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description" resulted in failure, + which has been corrected. - (merge e288b3de35 jc/branch-description-unset later to maint). + + * The code to clean temporary object directories (used for + quarantine) tried to remove them inside its signal handler, which + was a no-no. + (merge 22613b25ec jc/tmp-objdir later to maint). + + * Update comment in the Makefile about the RUNTIME_PREFIX config knob. + (merge ebb6c16607 dd/document-runtime-prefix-better later to maint). + + * Clarify that "the sentence after : prefix does not begin with + a capital letter" rule applies only to the commit title. + (merge 3991bb73dd jc/use-of-uc-in-log-messages later to maint). + + * "git branch --edit-description" on an unborh branch misleadingly + said that no such branch exists, which has been corrected. + (merge bcfc82bd48 rj/branch-edit-desc-unborn later to maint). + + * Work around older clang that warns against C99 zero initialization + syntax for struct. + (merge 54795d37d9 jh/struct-zero-init-with-older-clang later to maint). + + * Giving "--invert-grep" and "--all-match" without "--grep" to the + "git log" command resulted in an attempt to access grep pattern + expression structure that has not been allocated, which has been + corrected. + (merge db84376f98 ab/grep-simplify-extended-expression later to maint). + + * "git diff rev^!" did not show combined diff to go to the rev from + its parents. + (merge a79c6b6081 rs/diff-caret-bang-with-parents later to maint). + + * Allow configuration files in "protected" scopes to include other + configuration files. + (merge ecec57b3c9 gc/bare-repo-discovery later to maint). + + * Give a bit more diversity to macOS CI by using sha1dc in one of the + jobs (the other one tests Apple Common Crypto). + (merge 1ad5c3df35 jc/ci-osx-with-sha1dc later to maint). + + * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. + (merge c34a6bd291 so/diff-merges-cleanup later to maint). -
