1 Git 2.10 Release Notes

2 ======================

4 Backward compatibility notes

5 ----------------------------

7 Updates since v2.9

8 ------------------

10 UI, Workflows & Features

12 * "git pull --rebase --verify-signature" learned to warn the user

13 that "--verify-signature" is a no-op when rebasing.

15 * An upstream project can make a recommendation to shallowly clone

16 some submodules in the .gitmodules file it ships.

18 * "git worktree add" learned that '-' can be used as a short-hand for

19 "@{-1}", the previous branch.

21 * Update the funcname definition to support css files.

24 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

26 * "git fast-import" learned the same performance trick to avoid

27 creating too small a packfile as "git fetch" and "git push" have,

28 using *.unpackLimit configuration.

30 * When "git daemon" is run without --[init-]timeout specified, a

31 connection from a client that silently goes offline can hang around

32 for a long time, wasting resources. The socket-level KEEPALIVE has

33 been enabled to allow the OS to notice such failed connections.

34 (merge a43b68a ew/daemon-socket-keepalive later to maint).

36 * "git upload-pack" command has been updated to use the parse-options

37 API.

40 Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

43 Fixes since v2.9

44 ----------------

46 Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.8 in the maintenance

47 track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'

48 notes for details).

50 * The commands in `git log` family take %C(auto) in a custom format

51 string. This unconditionally turned the color on, ignoring

52 --no-color or with --color=auto when the output is not connected to

53 a tty; this was corrected to make the format truly behave as

54 "auto".

55 (merge b15a3e0 et/pretty-format-c-auto later to maint).

57 * "git rev-list --count" whose walk-length is limited with "-n"

58 option did not work well with the counting optimized to look at the

59 bitmap index.

60 (merge fb85db8 jk/rev-list-count-with-bitmap later to maint).

62 * "git show -W" (extend hunks to cover the entire function, delimited

63 by lines that match the "funcname" pattern) used to show the entire

64 file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file,

65 which has been fixed.

66 (merge 6f8d9bc rs/xdiff-hunk-with-func-line later to maint).

68 * Other minor clean-ups and documentation updates
