Backward compatibility notes
- * "feature.experimental" configuration variable is to let volunteers
- easily opt into a set of newer features, which use of the v2
- transport protocol is now a part of.
+ * "fetch.writeCommitGraph" is deemed to be still a bit too risky and
+ is no longer part of the "feature.experimental" set.
* It used to be that setting extensions.* configuration variables
alone, while leaving core.repositoryFormatVersion=0, made these
* "git diff-files" has been taught to say paths that are marked as
intent-to-add are new files, not modified from an empty blob.
+ * "git status" learned to report the status of sparse checkout.
+
+ * "git difftool" has trouble dealing with paths added to the index
+ with the intent-to-add bit.
+
+ * "git fast-export --anonymize" learned to take customized mapping to
+ allow its users to tweak its output more usable for debugging.
+
+ * The command line completion support (in contrib/) used to be
+ prepared to work with "set -u" but recent changes got a bit more
+ sloppy. This has been corrected.
+
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* A misdesigned strbuf_write_fd() function has been retired.
+ * SHA-256 migration work continues, including CVS/SVN interface.
+
+ * A few fields in "struct commit" that do not have to always be
+ present have been moved to commit slabs.
+
+ * API cleanup for get_worktrees()
+
+ * By renumbering object flag bits, "struct object" managed to lose
+ bloated inter-field padding.
+
+ * The name of the primary branch in existing repositories, and the
+ default name used for the first branch in newly created
+ repositories, is made configurable, so that we can eventually wean
+ ourselves off of the hardcoded 'master'.
+
+ * The effort to avoid using test_must_fail on non-git command continues.
+
+ * In 2.28-rc0, we corrected a bug that some repository extensions are
+ honored by mistake even in a version 0 repositories (these
+ configuration variables in extensions.* namespace were supposed to
+ have special meaning in repositories whose version numbers are 1 or
+ higher), but this was a bit too big a change. The behaviour in
+ recent versions of Git where certaion extensions.* were honored by
+ mistake even in version 0 repositories has been restored.
Fixes since v2.27
* An in-code comment in "git diff" has been updated.
(merge c592fd4c83 dl/diff-usage-comment-update later to maint).
+ * The documentation and some tests have been adjusted for the recent
+ renaming of "pu" branch to "seen".
+ (merge 6dca5dbf93 js/pu-to-seen later to maint).
+
+ * The code to push changes over "dumb" HTTP had a bad interaction
+ with the commit reachability code due to incorrect allocation of
+ object flag bits, which has been corrected.
+ (merge 64472d15e9 bc/http-push-flagsfix later to maint).
+
+ * "git send-email --in-reply-to=<msg>" did not use the In-Reply-To:
+ header with the value given from the command line, and let it be
+ overridden by the value on In-Reply-To: header in the messages
+ being sent out (if exists).
+ (merge f9f60d7066 ra/send-email-in-reply-to-from-command-line-wins later to maint).
+
+ * "git log -Lx,y:path --before=date" lost track of where the range
+ should be because it didn't take the changes made by the youngest
+ commits that are omitted from the output into account.
+
+ * When "fetch.writeCommitGraph" configuration is set in a shallow
+ repository and a fetch moves the shallow boundary, we wrote out
+ broken commit-graph files that do not match the reality, which has
+ been corrected.
+
+ * "git checkout" failed to catch an error from fstat() after updating
+ a path in the working tree.
+ (merge 35e6e212fd mt/entry-fstat-fallback-fix later to maint).
+
+ * When an aliased command, whose output is piped to a pager by git,
+ gets killed by a signal, the pager got into a funny state, which
+ has been corrected (again).
+ (merge c0d73a59c9 ta/wait-on-aliased-commands-upon-signal later to maint).
+
+ * The code to produce progress output from "git commit-graph --write"
+ had a few breakages, which have been fixed.
+
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
