1 Git v2.39 Release Notes
2 =======================
4 UI, Workflows & Features
5 ------------------------
7 * "git grep" learned to expand the sparse-index more lazily and on
8 demand in a sparse checkout.
11 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
12 --------------------------------------------------------------
14 * With a bit of header twiddling, use the native regexp library on
15 macOS instead of the compat/ one.
17 * Prepare for GNU [ef]grep that throw warning of their uses.
19 * Sources related to fuzz testing have been moved down to their own
22 * Most credential helpers ignored unknown entries in a credential
23 description, but a few died upon seeing them. The latter were
24 taught to ignore them, too
26 * "scalar unregister" in a repository that is already been
27 unregistered reported an error.
33 * The codepath that reads from the index v4 had unaligned memory
34 accesses, which has been corrected.
35 (merge 4a6ed30f96 vd/fix-unaligned-read-index-v4 later to maint).
37 * Fix messages incorrectly marked for translation.
38 (merge 02cb8b9ee3 ah/fsmonitor-daemon-usage-non-l10n later to maint).
40 * "git fsck" failed to release contents of tree objects already used
41 from the memory, which has been fixed.
42 (merge 51b27747e5 jk/fsck-on-diet later to maint).
44 * "git clone" did not like to see the "--bare" and the "--origin"
45 options used together without a good reason.
46 (merge 3b910d6e29 jk/clone-allow-bare-and-o-together later to maint).
48 * "git remote rename" failed to rename a remote without fetch
49 refspec, which has been corrected.
50 (merge 5a97b38109 jk/remote-rename-without-fetch-refspec later to maint).
52 * Documentation on various Boolean GIT_* environment variables have
54 (merge 819fb68222 jc/environ-docs later to maint).
56 * "git rebase -i" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to a commit
57 itself, which has been corrected.

62 (merge b62ad5681f tb/midx-repack-ignore-cruft-packs later to maint).
64 * In read-only repositories, "git merge-tree" tried to come up with a
65 merge result tree object, which it failed (which is not wrong) and
66 led to a segfault (which is bad), which has been corrected.
67 (merge 92481d1b26 js/merge-ort-in-read-only-repo later to maint).
69 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
