1 Git v2.10.2 Release Notes
2 =========================
7 * The code that parses the format parameter of for-each-ref command
8 has seen a micro-optimization.
10 * The "graph" API used in "git log --graph" miscounted the number of
11 output columns consumed so far when drawing a padding line, which
12 has been fixed; this did not affect any existing code as nobody
13 tried to write anything after the padding on such a line, though.
15 * Almost everybody uses DEFAULT_ABBREV to refer to the default
16 setting for the abbreviation, but "git blame" peeked into
17 underlying variable bypassing the macro for no good reason.
19 * Doc update to clarify what "log -3 --reverse" does.
21 * An author name, that spelled a backslash-quoted double quote in the
22 human readable part "My \"double quoted\" name", was not unquoted
23 correctly while applying a patch from a piece of e-mail.
25 * The original command line syntax for "git merge", which was "git
26 merge <msg> HEAD <parent>...", has been deprecated for quite some
27 time, and "git gui" was the last in-tree user of the syntax. This
28 is finally fixed, so that we can move forward with the deprecation.
30 * Codepaths that read from an on-disk loose object were too loose in
31 validating what they are reading is a proper object file and
32 sometimes read past the data they read from the disk, which has
33 been corrected. H/t to Gustavo Grieco for reporting.
35 * "git worktree", even though it used the default_abbrev setting that
36 ought to be affected by core.abbrev configuration variable, ignored
37 the variable setting. The command has been taught to read the
38 default set of configuration variables to correct this.
40 * A low-level function verify_packfile() was meant to show errors
41 that were detected without dying itself, but under some conditions
42 it didn't and died instead, which has been fixed.
45 Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
