- Update from version 2.42.0 to 2.42.1
- Update of rootfile not required
- Changelog
* Tests that are known to pass with LSan are now marked as such.
* Flaky "git p4" tests, as well as "git svn" tests, are now skipped
in the (rather expensive) sanitizer CI job.
* Tests with LSan from time to time seem to emit harmless message
that makes our tests unnecessarily flaky; we work it around by
filtering the uninteresting output.
* GitHub CI workflow has learned to trigger Coverity check.
* Overly long label names used in the sequencer machinery are now
chopped to fit under filesystem limitation.
* Scalar updates.
* Tweak GitHub Actions CI so that pushing the same commit to multiple
branch tips at the same time will not waste building and testing
the same thing twice.
* The commit-graph verification code that detects mixture of zero and
non-zero generation numbers has been updated.
* "git diff -w --exit-code" with various options did not work
correctly, which is being addressed.
* transfer.unpackLimit ought to be used as a fallback, but overrode
fetch.unpackLimit and receive.unpackLimit instead.
* The use of API between two calls to require_clean_work_tree() from
the sequencer code has been cleaned up for consistency.
* "git diff --no-such-option" and other corner cases around the exit
status of the "diff" command has been corrected.
* "git for-each-ref --sort='contents:size'" sorts the refs according
to size numerically, giving a ref that points at a blob twelve-byte
(12) long before showing a blob hundred-byte (100) long.
* Various fixes to the behavior of "rebase -i" when the command got
interrupted by conflicting changes.
* References from description of the `--patch` option in various
manual pages have been simplified and improved.
* "git grep -e A --no-or -e B" is accepted, even though the negation
of "or" did not mean anything, which has been tightened.
* The completion script (in contrib/) has been taught to treat the
"-t" option to "git checkout" and "git switch" just like the
"--track" option, to complete remote-tracking branches.
* "git diff --no-index -R <(one) <(two)" did not work correctly,
which has been corrected.
* Update "git maintenance" timers' implementation based on systemd
timers to work with WSL.
* "git diff --cached" codepath did not fill the necessary stat
information for a file when fsmonitor knows it is clean and ended
up behaving as if it is not clean, which has been corrected.
* Clarify how "alias.foo = : git cmd ; aliased-command-string" should
be spelled with necessary whitespaces around punctuation marks to
work.
* HTTP Header redaction code has been adjusted for a newer version of
cURL library that shows its traces differently from earlier
versions.
* An error message given by "git send-email" when given a malformed
address did not give correct information, which has been corrected.
* UBSan options were not propagated through the test framework to git
run via the httpd, unlike ASan options, which has been corrected.
Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.
