1 | Git 2.27 Release Notes |
2 | ====================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Updates since v2.26 | |
5 | ------------------- | |
6 | ||

7 | Backward compatibility notes |
8 | ||
9 | * When "git describe C" finds that commit C is pointed by a signed or | |
10 | annotated tag, which records T as its tagname in the object, the | |
11 | command gives T as its answer. Even if the user renames or moves | |
12 | such a tag from its natural location in the "refs/tags/" hierarchy, | |
13 | "git describe C" would still give T as the answer, but in such a | |
14 | case "git show T^0" would no longer work as expected. There may be | |
15 | nothing at "refs/tags/T" or even worse there may be a different tag | |
16 | instead. | |
17 | ||
18 | Starting from this version, "git describe" will always use the | |
19 | "long" version, as if the "--long" option were given, when giving | |
20 | its output based on such a misplaced tag to work around the problem. | |
21 | ||
22 | * "git pull" issues a warning message until the pull.rebase | |
23 | configuration variable is explicitly given, which some existing | |
24 | users may find annoying---those who prefer not to rebase need to | |
25 | set the variable to false to squelch the warning. | |
26 | ||

28 | UI, Workflows & Features |
29 | ||
30 | * A handful of options to configure SSL when talking to proxies have | |
31 | been added. | |
32 | ||
3bab5d56 JH |
33 | * Smudge/clean conversion filters are now given more information |
34 | (e.g. the object of the tree-ish in which the blob being converted | |
35 | appears, in addition to its path, which has already been given). | |
36 | ||
37 | * When "git describe C" finds an annotated tag with tagname A to be | |
38 | the best name to explain commit C, and the tag is stored in a | |
39 | "wrong" place in the refs/tags hierarchy, e.g. refs/tags/B, the | |
40 | command gave a warning message but used A (not B) to describe C. | |
41 | If C is exactly at the tag, the describe output would be "A", but | |
42 | "git rev-parse A^0" would not be equal as "git rev-parse C^0". The | |
43 | behavior of the command has been changed to use the "long" form | |
44 | i.e. A-0-gOBJECTNAME, which is correctly interpreted by rev-parse. | |
45 | ||
46 | * "git pull" learned to warn when no pull.rebase configuration | |
47 | exists, and neither --[no-]rebase nor --ff-only is given (which | |
48 | would result a merge). | |
49 | ||

50 | |
51 | Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. | |
52 | ||
53 | * The advise API has been revamped to allow more systematic enumeration of | |
54 | advice knobs in the future. | |
55 | ||
3bab5d56 JH |
56 | * SHA-256 transition continues. |
57 | ||
58 | * The code to interface with GnuPG has been refactored. | |
59 | ||
60 | * "git stash" has kept an escape hatch to use the scripted version | |
61 | for a few releases, which got stale. It has been removed. | |

63 | |
64 | Fixes since v2.26 | |
65 | ----------------- | |
66 | ||
67 | * The real_path() convenience function can easily be misused; with a | |
68 | bit of code refactoring in the callers' side, its use has been | |
69 | eliminated. | |
70 | (merge 49d3c4b481 am/real-path-fix later to maint). | |
71 | ||
72 | * Update "git p4" to work with Python 3. | |
73 | (merge 6bb40ed20a yz/p4-py3 later to maint). | |
74 | ||
75 | * The mechanism to prevent "git commit" from making an empty commit | |
76 | or amending during an interrupted cherry-pick was broken during the | |
77 | rewrite of "git rebase" in C, which has been corrected. | |
78 | (merge 430b75f720 pw/advise-rebase-skip later to maint). | |
79 | ||
3bab5d56 JH |
80 | * Fix "git checkout --recurse-submodules" of a nested submodule |
81 | hierarchy. | |
82 | (merge 846f34d351 pb/recurse-submodules-fix later to maint). | |
83 | ||
84 | * The "--fork-point" mode of "git rebase" regressed when the command | |
85 | was rewritten in C back in 2.20 era, which has been corrected. | |
86 | (merge f08132f889 at/rebase-fork-point-regression-fix later to maint). | |
87 | ||
a7d14a44 JH |
88 | * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
89 | (merge 564956f358 jc/maintain-doc later to maint). | |
90 | (merge 7422b2a0a1 sg/commit-slab-clarify-peek later to maint). | |
91 | (merge 9c688735f6 rs/doc-passthru-fetch-options later to maint). | |
92 | (merge 757c2ba3e2 en/oidset-uninclude-hashmap later to maint). | |
93 | (merge 8312aa7d74 jc/config-tar later to maint). | |
94 | (merge d00a5bdd50 ss/submodule-foreach-cb later to maint). |
