1 Git v2.45 Release Notes

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

4 Backward Compatibility Notes

6 UI, Workflows & Features

8 * Integrate the reftable code into the refs framework as a backend.

9 With "git init --ref-format=reftable", hopefully it would be a lot

10 more efficient to manage a repository with many references.

12 * "git checkout -p" and friends learned that that "@" is a synonym

13 for "HEAD".

15 * Variants of vimdiff learned to honor mergetool.<variant>.layout

16 settings.

19 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

21 * The code to iterate over refs with the reftable backend has seen

22 some optimization.

24 * More tests that are marked as "ref-files only" have been updated to

25 improve test coverage of reftable backend.

27 * Some parts of command line completion script (in contrib/) have

28 been micro-optimized.

31 Fixes since v2.44

32 -----------------

34 * "git apply" on a filesystem without filemode support have learned

35 to take a hint from what is in the index for the path, even when

36 not working with the "--index" or "--cached" option, when checking

37 the executable bit match what is required by the preimage in the

38 patch.

39 (merge 45b625142d cp/apply-core-filemode later to maint).

41 * "git column" has been taught to reject negative padding value, as

42 it would lead to nonsense behaviour including division by zero.

43 (merge 76fb807faa kh/column-reject-negative-padding later to maint).

45 * "git am --help" now tells readers what actions are available in

46 "git am --whitespace=<action>", in addition to saying that the

47 option is passed through to the underlying "git apply".

48 (merge a171dac734 jc/am-whitespace-doc later to maint).

50 * "git tag --column" failed to check the exit status of its "git

51 column" invocation, which has been corrected.

52 (merge 92e66478fc rj/tag-column-fix later to maint).

54 * Credential helper based on libsecret (in contrib/) has been updated

55 to handle an empty password correctly.

56 (merge 8f1f2023b7 mh/libsecret-empty-password-fix later to maint).

58 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

59 (merge f0e578c69c rs/use-xstrncmpz later to maint).

60 (merge 83e6eb7d7a ba/credential-test-clean-fix later to maint).

61 (merge 64562d784d jb/doc-interactive-singlekey-do-not-need-perl later to maint).
