Git v2.43 Release Notes (draft)
===============================
Backward Compatibility Notes
* The "--rfc" option of "git format-patch" used to be a valid way to
override an earlier "--subject-prefix=<something>" on the command
line and replace it with "[RFC PATCH]", but from this release, it
merely prefixes the string "RFC " in front of the given subject
prefix. If you are negatively affected by this change, please use
"--subject-prefix=PATCH --rfc" as a replacement.
* "git rev-list --stdin" learned to take non-revisions (like "--not")
recently from the standard input, but the way such a "--not" was
handled was quite confusing, which has been rethought. The updated
rule is that "--not" given from the command line only affects revs
given from the command line that comes but not revs read from the
standard input, and "--not" read from the standard input affects
revs given from the stanrdard input and not revs given from the
command line.
UI, Workflows & Features
* A message written in olden time prevented a branch from getting
checked out saying it is already checked out elsewhere, but these
days, we treat a branch that is being bisected or rebased just like
a branch that is checked out and protect it. Rephrase the message
to say that the branch is in use.
* Hourly and other schedule of "git maintenance" jobs are randomly
distributed now.
* "git cmd -h" learned to signal which options can be negated by
listing such options like "--[no-]opt".
* The way authentication related data other than passwords (e.g.
oath token and password expiration data) are stored in libsecret
keyrings has been rethought.
* Update two credential helpers to correctly match which credential
to erase; they dropped not the ones with stale password.
* Git GUI updates.
* "git format-patch" learns a way to feed cover letter description,
that (1) can be used on detached HEAD where there is no branch
description available, and (2) also can override the branch
description if there is one.
* Use of --max-pack-size to allow multiple packfiles to be created is
now supported even when we are sending unreachable objects to cruft
packs.
* "git format-patch --rfc --subject-prefix=<foo>" used to ignore the
"--subject-prefix" option and used "[RFC PATCH]"; now we will add
"RFC" prefix to whatever subject prefix is specified.
* "git log --format" has been taught the %(decorate) placeholder.
* The default log message created by "git revert", when reverting a
commit that records a revert, has been tweaked, to encourage people
describe complex "revert of revert of revert" situation better in
their own words.
* The command-line complation support (in contrib/) learned to
complete "git commit --trailer=" for possible trailer keys.
* "git update-index" learns "--show-index-version" to inspect
the index format version used by the on-disk index file.
* "git diff" learned diff.statNameWidth configuration variable, to
give the default width for the name part in the "--stat" output.
* "git range-diff --notes=foo" compared "log --notes=foo --notes" of
the two ranges, instead of using just the specified notes tree.
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) can be told to
complete aliases by including ": git <cmd> ;" in the alias to tell
it that the alias should be completed similar to how "git <cmd>" is
completed. The parsing code for the alias as been loosened to
allow ';' without an extra space before it.
* "git for-each-ref" and friends learned to apply mailmap to
authorname and other fields.
* "git repack" machinery learns to pay attention to the "--filter="
option.
* "git repack" learned "--max-cruft-size" to prevent cruft packs from
growing without bounds.
* "git merge-tree" learned to take strategy backend specific options
via the "-X" option, like "git merge" does.
* "git log" and friends learned "--dd" that is a short-hand for
"--diff-merges=first-parent -p".
* The attribute subsystem learned to honor `attr.tree` configuration
that specifies which tree to read the .gitattributes files from.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* "git check-attr" has been taught to work better with sparse-index.
* It may be tempting to leave the help text NULL for a command line
option that is either hidden or too obvious, but "git subcmd -h"
and "git subcmd --help-all" would have segfaulted if done so. Now
the help text is optional.
* Tests that are known to pass with LSan are now marked as such.
(merge 5fafe8c95f tb/mark-more-tests-as-leak-free later to maint).
* Flaky "git p4" tests, as well as "git svn" tests, are now skipped
in the (rather expensive) sanitizer CI job.
(merge 6ba913629f js/ci-san-skip-p4-and-svn-tests later to maint).
* 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.
(merge 370ef7e40d jk/test-lsan-denoise-output later to maint).
* Unused parameters to functions are marked as such, and/or removed,
in order to bring us closer to -Wunused-parameter clean.
* The code to keep track of existing packs in the repository while
repacking has been refactored.
* The "streaming" interface used for bulk-checkin codepath has been
narrowed to take only blob objects for now, with no real loss of
functionality.
* GitHub CI workflow has learned to trigger Coverity check.
(merge 3349520e1a js/ci-coverity later to maint).
* Test coverage for trailers has been improved.
* The code to iterate over loose references have been optimized to
reduce the number of lstat() system calls.
(merge 2cdb796101 vd/loose-ref-iteration-optimization later to maint).
* The codepaths that read "chunk" formatted files have been corrected
to pay attention to the chunk size and notice broken files.
Fixes since v2.42
-----------------
* Overly long label names used in the sequencer machinery are now
chopped to fit under filesystem limitation.
(merge ac300bda10 mp/rebase-label-length-limit later to maint).
* Scalar updates.
(merge f9a547d3a7 ds/scalar-updates later to maint).
* 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.
(merge 99fe06cbfd jc/ci-skip-same-commit later to maint).
* The commit-graph verification code that detects mixture of zero and
non-zero generation numbers has been updated.
(merge db6044d762 tb/commit-graph-verify-fix later to maint).
* "git diff -w --exit-code" with various options did not work
correctly, which is being addressed.
(merge a64f8b2595 jc/diff-exit-code-with-w-fixes later to maint).
* transfer.unpackLimit ought to be used as a fallback, but overrode
fetch.unpackLimit and receive.unpackLimit instead.
(merge f3d33f8cfe ts/unpacklimit-config-fix later to maint).
* The use of API between two calls to require_clean_work_tree() from
the sequencer code has been cleaned up for consistency.
(merge a9b5955e07 ob/sequencer-empty-hint-fix later to maint).
* "git diff --no-such-option" and other corner cases around the exit
status of the "diff" command has been corrected.
(merge 5cc6b2d70b jk/diff-result-code-cleanup later to maint).
* "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.
(merge 6d79cd8474 ks/ref-filter-sort-numerically later to maint).
* We now limit depth of the tree objects and maximum length of
pathnames recorded in tree objects.
(merge 4d5693ba05 jk/tree-name-and-depth-limit later to maint).
* Various fixes to the behavior of "rebase -i" when the command got
interrupted by conflicting changes.
(merge 203573b024 pw/rebase-i-after-failure later to maint).
* References from description of the `--patch` option in various
manual pages have been simplified and improved.
(merge 11422f23e3 so/diff-doc-for-patch-update later to maint).
* "git grep -e A --no-or -e B" is accepted, even though the negation
of "or" did not mean anything, which has been tightened.
(merge aae8558b10 rs/grep-no-no-or later to maint).
* 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.
(merge 9f892830d6 js/complete-checkout-t later to maint).
* "git diff --no-index -R <(one) <(two)" did not work correctly,
which has been corrected.
(merge 48944f214c pw/diff-no-index-from-named-pipes later to maint).
* Update "git maintenance" timers' implementation based on systemd
timers to work with WSL.
(merge 5e8515e8e8 js/systemd-timers-wsl-fix later to maint).
* "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.
(merge 6a044a2048 js/diff-cached-fsmonitor-fix later to maint).
* Clarify how "alias.foo = : git cmd ; aliased-command-string" should
be spelled with necessary whitespaces around punctuation marks to
work.
(merge 4333267995 pb/completion-aliases-doc later to maint).
* HTTP Header redaction code has been adjusted for a newer version of
cURL library that shows its traces differently from earlier
versions.
(merge 0763c3a2c4 jk/redact-h2h3-headers-fix later to maint).
* An error message given by "git send-email" when given a malformed
address did not give correct information, which has been corrected.
(merge 12288cc44e tb/send-email-extract-valid-address-error-message-fix later to maint).
* UBSan options were not propagated through the test framework to git
run via the httpd, unlike ASan options, which has been corrected.
(merge 252d693797 jk/test-pass-ubsan-options-to-http-test later to maint).
* "checkout --merge -- path" and "update-index --unresolve path" did
not resurrect conflicted state that was resolved to remove path,
but now they do.
(merge 5bdedac3c7 jc/unresolve-removal later to maint).
* The display width table for unicode characters has been updated for
Unicode 15.1
(merge 872976c37e bb/unicode-width-table-15 later to maint).
* Update mailmap entry for Derrick.
(merge 6e5457d8c7 ds/mailmap-entry-update later to maint).
* In .gitmodules files, submodules are keyed by their names, and the
path to the submodule whose name is $name is specified by the
submodule.$name.path variable. There were a few codepaths that
mixed the name and path up when consulting the submodule database,
which have been corrected. It took long for these bugs to be found
as the name of a submodule initially is the same as its path, and
the problem does not surface until it is moved to a different path,
which apparently happens very rarely.
* "git diff --merge-base X other args..." insisted that X must be a
commit and errored out when given an annotated tag that peels to a
commit, but we only need it to be a committish. This has been
corrected.
(merge 4adceb5a29 ar/diff-index-merge-base-fix later to maint).
* Fix "git merge-tree" to stop segfaulting when the --attr-source
option is used.
(merge e95bafc52f jc/merge-ort-attr-index-fix later to maint).
* Unlike "git log --pretty=%D", "git log --pretty="%(decorate)" did
not auto-initialize the decoration subsystem, which has been
corrected.
* Feeding "git stash store" with a random commit that was not created
by "git stash create" now errors out.
(merge d9b6634589 jc/fail-stash-to-store-non-stash later to maint).
* The index file has room only for lower 32-bit of the file size in
the cached stat information, which means cached stat information
will have 0 in its sd_size member for a file whose size is multiple
of 4GiB. This is mistaken for a racily clean path. Avoid it by
storing a bogus sd_size value instead for such files.
(merge 5143ac07b1 bc/racy-4gb-files later to maint).
* "git p4" tried to store symlinks to LFS when told, but has been
fixed not to do so, because it does not make sense.
(merge 10c89a02b0 mm/p4-symlink-with-lfs later to maint).
* The codepath to handle recipient addresses `git send-email
--compose` learns from the user was completely broken, which has
been corrected.
(merge 3ec6167567 jk/send-email-fix-addresses-from-composed-messages later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge fd3ba590d8 ws/git-push-doc-grammofix later to maint).
