7 Backward compatibility note
9 * The "--base" option of "format-patch" computed the patch-ids for
10 prerequisite patches in an unstable way, which has been updated to
11 compute in a way that is compatible with "git patch-id --stable".
14 UI, Workflows & Features
16 * The "git fast-export/import" pair has been taught to handle commits
17 with log messages in encoding other than UTF-8 better.
19 * In recent versions of Git, per-worktree refs are exposed in
20 refs/worktrees/<wtname>/ hierarchy, which means that worktree names
21 must be a valid refname component. The code now sanitizes the names
22 given to worktrees, to make sure these refs are well-formed.
24 * "git merge" learned "--quit" option that cleans up the in-progress
25 merge while leaving the working tree and the index still in a mess.
27 * "git format-patch" learns a configuration to set the default for
28 its --notes=<ref> option.
30 * The code to show args with potential typo that cannot be
31 interpreted as a commit-ish has been improved.
34 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
36 * Update supporting parts of "git rebase" to remove code that should
39 * Developer support to emulate unsatisfied prerequisites in tests to
40 ensure that the remainer of the tests still succeeds when tests
41 with prerequisites are skipped.
43 * "git update-server-info" learned not to rewrite the file with the
46 * The way of specifying the path to find dynamic libraries at runtime
47 has been simplified. The old default to pass -R/path/to/dir has been
48 replaced with the new default to pass -Wl,-rpath,/path/to/dir,
49 which is the more recent GCC uses. Those who need to build with an
50 old GCC can still use "CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R"
56 * A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>"
57 ought to be relative to the directory "git init" gets invoked in,
58 but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been
60 (merge e1df7fe43f nd/init-relative-template-fix later to maint).
62 * "git worktree add" used to fail when another worktree connected to
63 the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected.
64 (merge 105df73e71 nd/corrupt-worktrees later to maint).
66 * The ownership rule for the file descriptor to fast-import remote
67 backend was mixed up, leading to unrelated file descriptor getting
68 closed, which has been fixed.
69 (merge 3203566a71 mh/import-transport-fd-fix later to maint).
71 * A "merge -c" instruction during "git rebase --rebase-merges" should
72 give the user a chance to edit the log message, even when there is
73 otherwise no need to create a new merge and replace the existing
74 one (i.e. fast-forward instead), but did not. Which has been
77 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
