   1 Git 2.30 Release Notes
   2 ======================
   3
   4 Updates since v2.29
   5 -------------------
   6
   7 UI, Workflows & Features
   8
   9  * Userdiff for PHP update.
  10
  11  * Userdiff for Rust update.
  12
  13  * Userdiff for CSS update.
  14
  15  * The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git
  16    stash show" takes the options "git diff" takes.
  17
  18  * "git worktree list" now shows if each worktree is locked.  This
  19    possibly may open us to show other kinds of states in the future.
  20
  21  * "git maintenance", an extended big brother of "git gc", continues
  22    to evolve.
  23
  24  * "git push --force-with-lease[=<ref>]" can easily be misused to lose
  25    commits unless the user takes good care of their own "git fetch".
  26    A new option "--force-if-includes" attempts to ensure that what is
  27    being force-pushed was created after examining the commit at the
  28    tip of the remote ref that is about to be force-replaced.
  29
  30  * "git clone" learned clone.defaultremotename configuration variable
  31    to customize what nickname to use to call the remote the repository
  32    was cloned from.
  33
  34  * "git checkout" learned to use checkout.guess configuration variable
  35    and enable/disable its "--[no-]guess" option accordingly.
  36
  37  * "git resurrect" script (in contrib/) learned that the object names
  38    may be longer than 40-hex depending on the hash function in use.
  39
  40
  41 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
  42
  43  * Use "git archive" more to produce the release tarball.
  44
  45  * GitHub Actions automated test improvement to skip tests on a tree
  46    identical to what has already been tested.
  47
  48
  49 Fixes since v2.29
  50 -----------------
  51
  52  * In 2.29, "--committer-date-is-author-date" option of "rebase" and
  53    "am" subcommands lost the e-mail address by mistake, which has been
  54    corrected.
  55    (merge 5f35edd9d7 jk/committer-date-is-author-date-fix later to maint).
  56
  57  * "git checkout -p A...B [-- <path>]" did not work, even though the
  58    same command without "-p" correctly used the merge-base between
  59    commits A and B.
  60    (merge 35166b1fb5 dl/checkout-p-merge-base later to maint).
  61
  62  * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
  63    (merge 3e0a5dc9af cc/doc-filter-branch-typofix later to maint).
  64    (merge 32c83afc2c cw/ci-ghwf-check-ws-errors later to maint).
  65    (merge 5eb2ed691b rs/tighten-callers-of-deref-tag later to maint).
