GPL-2.0-only
* Fri Sep 20 2024 [email protected]
- Update to version 2.46.1;
* "git checkout --ours" (no other arguments) complained that the
option is incompatible with branch switching, which is technically
correct, but found confusing by some users. It now says that the
user needs to give pathspec to specify what paths to checkout.
* It has been documented that we avoid "VAR=VAL shell_func" and why.
* "git add -p" by users with diff.suppressBlankEmpty set to true
failed to parse the patch that represents an unmodified empty line
with an empty line (not a line with a single space on it), which
has been corrected.
* "git rebase --help" referred to "offset" (the difference between
the location a change was taken from and the change gets replaced)
incorrectly and called it "fuzz", which has been corrected.
* "git notes add -m '' --allow-empty" and friends that take prepared
data to create notes should not invoke an editor, but it started
doing so since Git 2.42, which has been corrected.
* An expensive operation to prepare tracing was done in re-encoding
code path even when the tracing was not requested, which has been
corrected.
* Perforce tests have been updated.
* The credential helper to talk to OSX keychain sometimes sent
garbage bytes after the username, which has been corrected.
* A recent update broke "git ls-remote" used outside a repository,
which has been corrected.
* "git config --value=foo --fixed-value section.key newvalue" barfed
when the existing value in the configuration file used the
valueless true syntax, which has been corrected.
* "git reflog expire" failed to honor annotated tags when computing
reachable commits.
* A flakey test and incorrect calls to strtoX() functions have been
fixed.
* Follow-up on 2.45.1 regression fix.
* "git rev-list ... | git diff-tree -p --remerge-diff --stdin" should
behave more or less like "git log -p --remerge-diff" but instead it
crashed, forgetting to prepare a temporary object store needed.
* The patch parser in "git patch-id" has been tightened to avoid
getting confused by lines that look like a patch header in the log
message.
* "git bundle unbundle" outside a repository triggered a BUG()
unnecessarily, which has been corrected.
* The code forgot to discard unnecessary in-core commit buffer data
for commits that "git log --skip=<number>" traversed but omitted
from the output, which has been corrected.
* "git verify-pack" and "git index-pack" started dying outside a
repository, which has been corrected.
* A corner case bug in "git stash" was fixed.
* Wed Aug 28 2024 [email protected]
- Change less requirement to path to allow for use with BusyBox
* Tue Jul 30 2024 [email protected]
- update to 2.46.0
UI, Workflows & Features
* The "--rfc" option of "git format-patch" learned to take an
optional string value to be used in place of "RFC" to tweak the
"[PATCH]" on the subject header.
* The credential helper protocol, together with the HTTP layer, have
been enhanced to support authentication schemes different from
username & password pair, like Bearer and NTLM.
* Command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete
"git symbolic-ref" a bit better (you need to enable plumbing
commands to be completed with GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS).
* When the user responds to a prompt given by "git add -p" with an
unsupported command, list of available commands were given, which
was too much if the user knew what they wanted to type but merely
made a typo. Now the user gets a much shorter error message.
* The color parsing code learned to handle 12-bit RGB colors, spelled
as "#RGB" (in addition to "#RRGGBB" that is already supported).
* The operation mode options (like "--get") the "git config" command
uses have been deprecated and replaced with subcommands (like "git
config get").
* "git tag" learned the "--trailer" option to futz with the trailers
in the same way as "git commit" does.
* A new global "--no-advice" option can be used to disable all advice
messages, which is meant to be used only in scripts.
* Updates to symbolic refs can now be made as a part of ref
transaction.
* The trailer API has been reshuffled a bit.
* Terminology to call various ref-like things are getting
straightened out.
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) has been adjusted
to the recent update to "git config" that adopted subcommand based
UI.
* The knobs to tweak how reftable files are written have been made
available as configuration variables.
* When "git push" notices that the commit at the tip of the ref on
the other side it is about to overwrite does not exist locally, it
used to first try fetching it if the local repository is a partial
clone. The command has been taught not to do so and immediately
fail instead.
* The promisor.quiet configuration knob can be set to true to make
lazy fetching from promisor remotes silent.
* The inter/range-diff output has been moved to the end of the patch
when format-patch adds it to a single patch, instead of writing it
before the patch text, to be consistent with what is done for a
cover letter for a multi-patch series.
* A new command has been added to migrate a repository that uses the
files backend for its ref storage to use the reftable backend, with
limitations.
* "git diff --exit-code --ext-diff" learned to take the exit status
of the external diff driver into account when deciding the exit
status of the overall "git diff" invocation when configured to do
so.
* "git update-ref --stdin" learned to handle transactional updates of
symbolic-refs.
* "git format-patch --interdiff" for multi-patch series learned to
turn on cover letters automatically (unless told never to enable
cover letter with "--no-cover-letter" and such).
* The "--heads" option of "ls-remote" and "show-ref" has been been
deprecated; "--branches" replaces "--heads".
* For over a year, setting add.interactive.useBuiltin configuration
variable did nothing but giving a "this does not do anything"
warning. The warning has been removed.
* The http transport can now be told to send request with
authentication material without first getting a 401 response.
* A handful of entries are added to the GitFAQ document.
* "git var GIT_SHELL_PATH" should report the path to the shell used
to spawn external commands, but it didn't do so on Windows, which
has been corrected.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Advertise "git contacts", a tool for newcomers to find people to
ask review for their patches, a bit more in our developer
documentation.
* In addition to building the objects needed, try to link the objects
that are used in fuzzer tests, to make sure at least they build
without bitrot, in Linux CI runs.
* Code to write out reftable has seen some optimization and
simplification.
* Tests to ensure interoperability between reftable written by jgit
and our code have been added and enabled in CI.
* The singleton index_state instance "the_index" has been eliminated
by always instantiating "the_repository" and replacing references
to "the_index" with references to its .index member.
* Git-GUI has a new maintainer, Johannes Sixt.
* The "test-tool" has been taught to run testsuite tests in parallel,
bypassing the need to use the "prove" tool.
* The "whitespace check" task that was enabled for GitHub Actions CI
has been ported to GitLab CI.
* The refs API lost functions that implicitly assumes to work on the
primary ref_store by forcing the callers to pass a ref_store as an
argument.
* Code clean-up to reduce inter-function communication inside
builtin/config.c done via the use of global variables.
* The pack bitmap code saw some clean-up to prepare for a follow-up topic.
* Preliminary code clean-up for "git send-email".
* The default "creation-factor" used by "git format-patch" has been
raised to make it more aggressively find matching commits.
* Before discovering the repository details, We used to assume SHA-1
as the "default" hash function, which has been corrected. Hopefully
this will smoke out codepaths that rely on such an unwarranted
assumptions.
* The project decision making policy has been documented.
* The strcmp-offset tests have been rewritten using the unit test
framework.
* "git add -p" learned to complain when an answer with more than one
letter is given to a prompt that expects a single letter answer.
* The alias-expanded command lines are logged to the trace output.
* A new test was added to ensure git commands that are designed to
run outside repositories do work.
* A few tests in reftable library have been rewritten using the
unit test framework.
* A pair of test helpers that essentially are unit tests on hash
algorithms have been rewritten using the unit-tests framework.
* A test helper that essentially is unit tests on the "decorate"
logic has been rewritten using the unit-tests framework.
* Many memory leaks in the sparse-checkout code paths have been
plugged.
* "make check-docs" noticed problems and reported to its output but
failed to signal its findings with its exit status, which has been
corrected.
* Building with "-Werror -Wwrite-strings" is now supported.
* To help developers, the build procedure now allows builders to use
CFLAGS_APPEND to specify additional CFLAGS.
* "oidtree" tests were rewritten to use the unit test framework.
* The structure of the document that records longer-term project
decisions to deprecate/remove/update various behaviour has been
outlined.
* The pseudo-merge reachability bitmap to help more efficient storage
of the reachability bitmap in a repository with too many refs has
been added.
* When "git merge" sees that the index cannot be refreshed (e.g. due
to another process doing the same in the background), it died but
after writing MERGE_HEAD etc. files, which was useless for the
purpose to recover from the failure.
* The output from "git cat-file --batch-check" and "--batch-command
(info)" should not be unbuffered, for which some tests have been
added.
* A CPP macro USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE is introduced to help
transition the codebase to rely less on the availability of the
singleton the_repository instance.
* "git version --build-options" reports the version information of
OpenSSL and other libraries (if used) in the build.
* Memory ownership rules for the in-core representation of
remote.*.url configuration values have been straightened out, which
resulted in a few leak fixes and code clarification.
* When bundleURI interface fetches multiple bundles, Git failed to
take full advantage of all bundles and ended up slurping duplicated
objects, which has been corrected.
* The code to deal with modified paths that are out-of-cone in a
sparsely checked out working tree has been optimized.
* An existing test of oidmap API has been rewritten with the
unit-test framework.
* The "ort" merge backend saw one bugfix for a crash that happens
when inner merge gets killed, and assorted code clean-ups.
* A new warning message is issued when a command has to expand a
sparse index to handle working tree cruft that are outside of the
sparse checkout.
* The test framework learned to take the test body not as a single
string but as a here-document.
* "git push '' HEAD:there" used to hit a BUG(); it has been corrected
to die with "fatal: bad repository ''".
* What happens when http.cookieFile gets the special value "" has
been clarified in the documentation.
Fixes
* "git rebase --signoff" used to forget that it needs to add a
sign-off to the resulting commit when told to continue after a
conflict stops its operation.
* The procedure to build multi-pack-index got confused by the
replace-refs mechanism, which has been corrected by disabling the
latter.
* The "-k" and "--rfc" options of "format-patch" will now error out
when used together, as one tells us not to add anything to the
title of the commit, and the other one tells us to add "RFC" in
addition to "PATCH".
* "git stash -S" did not handle binary files correctly, which has
been corrected.
* A scheduled "git maintenance" job is expected to work on all
repositories it knows about, but it stopped at the first one that
errored out. Now it keeps going.
* zsh can pretend to be a normal shell pretty well except for some
glitches that we tickle in some of our scripts. Work them around
so that "vimdiff" and our test suite works well enough with it.
* Command line completion support for zsh (in contrib/) has been
updated to stop exposing internal state to end-user shell
interaction.
* Tests that try to corrupt in-repository files in chunked format did
not work well on macOS due to its broken "mv", which has been
worked around.
* The maximum size of attribute files is enforced more consistently.
* Unbreak CI jobs so that we do not attempt to use Python 2 that has
been removed from the platform.
* Git 2.43 started using the tree of HEAD as the source of attributes
in a bare repository, which has severe performance implications.
For now, revert the change, without ripping out a more explicit
support for the attr.tree configuration variable.
* The "--exit-code" option of "git diff" command learned to work with
the "--ext-diff" option.
* Windows CI running in GitHub Actions started complaining about the
order of arguments given to calloc(); the imported regex code uses
the wrong order almost consistently, which has been corrected.
* Expose "name conflict" error when a ref creation fails due to D/F
conflict in the ref namespace, to improve an error message given by
"git fetch".
(merge 9339fca23e it/refs-name-conflict later to maint).
* The SubmittingPatches document now refers folks to manpages
translation project.
* The documentation for "git diff --name-only" has been clarified
that it is about showing the names in the post-image tree.
* The credential helper that talks with osx keychain learned to avoid
storing back the authentication material it just got received from
the keychain.
(merge e1ab45b2da kn/osxkeychain-skip-idempotent-store later to maint).
* The chainlint script (invoked during "make test") did nothing when
it failed to detect the number of available CPUs. It now falls
back to 1 CPU to avoid the problem.
* Revert overly aggressive "layered defence" that went into 2.45.1
and friends, which broke "git-lfs", "git-annex", and other use
cases, so that we can rebuild necessary counterparts in the open.
* "git init" in an already created directory, when the user
configuration has includeif.onbranch, started to fail recently,
which has been corrected.
* Memory leaks in "git mv" has been plugged.
* The safe.directory configuration knob has been updated to
optionally allow leading path matches.
* An overly large ".gitignore" files are now rejected silently.
* Upon expiration event, the credential subsystem forgot to clear
in-core authentication material other than password (whose support
was added recently), which has been corrected.
* Fix for an embarrassing typo that prevented Python2 tests from running
anywhere.
* Varargs functions that are unannotated as printf-like or execl-like
have been annotated as such.
* "git am" has a safety feature to prevent it from starting a new
session when there already is a session going. It reliably
triggers when a mbox is given on the command line, but it has to
rely on the tty-ness of the standard input. Add an explicit way to
opt out of this safety with a command line option.
(merge 62c71ace44 jk/am-retry later to maint).
* A leak in "git imap-send" that somehow escapes LSan has been
plugged.
* Setting core.abbrev too early before the repository set-up
(typically in "git clone") caused segfault, which as been
corrected.
* When the user adds to "git rebase -i" instruction to "pick" a merge
commit, the error experience is not pleasant. Such an error is now
caught earlier in the process that parses the todo list.
* We forgot to normalize the result of getcwd() to NFC on macOS where
all other paths are normalized, which has been corrected. This still
does not address the case where core.precomposeUnicode configuration
is not defined globally.
* Earlier we stopped using the tree of HEAD as the default source of
attributes in a bare repository, but failed to document it. This
has been corrected.
* "git update-server-info" and "git commit-graph --write" have been
updated to use the tempfile API to avoid leaving cruft after
failing.
* An unused extern declaration for mingw has been removed to prevent
it from causing build failure.
* A helper function shared between two tests had a copy-paste bug,
which has been corrected.
* "git fetch-pack -k -k" without passing "--lock-pack" (which we
never do ourselves) did not work at all, which has been corrected.
* CI job to build minimum fuzzers learned to pass NO_CURL=NoThanks to
the build procedure, as its build environment does not offer, or
the rest of the build needs, anything cURL.
(merge 4e66b5a990 jc/fuzz-sans-curl later to maint).
* "git diff --no-ext-diff" when diff.external is configured ignored
the "--color-moved" option.
(merge 0f4b0d4cf0 rs/diff-color-moved-w-no-ext-diff-fix later to maint).
* "git archive --add-virtual-file=<path>:<contents>" never paid
attention to the --prefix=<prefix> option but the documentation
said it would. The documentation has been corrected.
(merge 72c282098d jc/archive-prefix-with-add-virtual-file later to maint).
* When GIT_PAGER failed to spawn, depending on the code path taken,
we failed immediately (correct) or just spew the payload to the
standard output (incorrect). The code now always fail immediately
when GIT_PAGER fails.
(merge 78f0a5d187 rj/pager-die-upon-exec-failure later to maint).
* date parser updates to be more careful about underflowing epoch
based timestamp.
(merge 9d69789770 db/date-underflow-fix later to maint).
* The Bloom filter used for path limited history traversal was broken
on systems whose "char" is unsigned; update the implementation and
bump the format version to 2.
(merge 9c8a9ec787 tb/path-filter-fix later to maint).
* Typofix.
(merge 231cf7370e as/pathspec-h-typofix later to maint).
* Code clean-up.
(merge 4b837f821e rs/simplify-submodule-helper-super-prefix-invocation later to maint).
* "git describe --dirty --broken" forgot to refresh the index before
seeing if there is any chang, ("git describe --dirty" correctly did
so), which has been corrected.
(merge b8ae42e292 as/describe-broken-refresh-index-fix later to maint).
* Test suite has been taught not to unnecessarily rely on DNS failing
a bogus external name.
(merge 407cdbd271 jk/tests-without-dns later to maint).
* GitWeb update to use committer date consistently in rss/atom feeds.
(merge cf6ead095b am/gitweb-feed-use-committer-date later to maint).
* Custom control structures we invented more recently have been
taught to the clang-format file.
(merge 1457dff9be rs/clang-format-updates later to maint).
* Developer build procedure fix.
(merge df32729866 tb/dev-build-pedantic-fix later to maint).
* "git push" that pushes only deletion gave an unnecessary and
harmless error message when push negotiation is configured, which
has been corrected.
(merge 4d8ee0317f jc/disable-push-nego-for-deletion later to maint).
* Address-looking strings found on the trailer are now placed on the
Cc: list after running through sanitize_address by "git send-email".
(merge c852531f45 cb/send-email-sanitize-trailer-addresses later to maint).
* Tests that use GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG feature got their exit
status inverted, which has been corrected.
(merge 8c1d6691bc rj/test-sanitize-leak-log-fix later to maint).
* The http.cookieFile and http.saveCookies configuration variables
have a few values that need to be avoided, which are now ignored
with warning messages.
(merge 4f5822076f jc/http-cookiefile later to maint).
* Repacking a repository with multi-pack index started making stupid
pack selections in Git 2.45, which has been corrected.
(merge 8fb6d11fad ds/midx-write-repack-fix later to maint).
* Fix documentation mark-up regression in 2.45.
(merge 6474da0aa4 ja/doc-markup-updates-fix later to maint).
* Work around asciidoctor's css that renders `monospace` material
in the SYNOPSIS section of manual pages as block elements.
(merge d44ce6ddd5 js/doc-markup-updates-fix later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge 493fdae046 ew/object-convert-leakfix later to maint).
(merge 00f3661a0a ss/doc-eol-attr-fix later to maint).
(merge 428c40da61 ri/doc-show-branch-fix later to maint).
(merge 58696bfcaa jc/where-is-bash-for-ci later to maint).

accordingly (boo#1218588)
* Tue Nov 21 2023 [email protected]
- update to 2.43.0:
* 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.
* In Git 2.42, "git rev-list --stdin" learned to take non-revisions
(like "--not") 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 standard input and not revs given from the
command line.
* 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 from getting modified
with the same codepath. The message has been rephrased to say that
the branch is "in use" to avoid confusion.
* Hourly and other schedules 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.,
oauth token and password expiration data) are stored in libsecret
keyrings has been rethought.
* Update the libsecret and wincred credential helpers to correctly
match which credential to erase; they erased the wrong entry in
some cases.
* Git GUI updates.
* "git format-patch" learned a new "--description-file" option that
lets cover letter description to be fed; this can be used on
detached HEAD where there is no branch description available, and
also can override the branch description if there is one.
* Use of the "--max-pack-size" option 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 for
further customization over what the "--decorate" option offers.
* The default log message created by "git revert", when reverting a
commit that records a revert, has been tweaked, to encourage people
to describe complex "revert of revert of revert" situations better in
their own words.
* The command-line completion support (in contrib/) learned to
complete "git commit --trailer=" for possible trailer keys.
* "git update-index" learned the "--show-index-version" option to
inspect the index format version used by the on-disk index file.
* "git diff" learned the "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,
which has been corrected to use only 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 in a similar way to how "git
<cmd>" is completed. The parsing code for the alias has 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 in a more flexible way than using
separate placeholder letters like %a[eElL] every time we want to
come up with small variants.
* "git repack" machinery learned to pay attention to the "--filter="
option.
* "git repack" learned the "--max-cruft-size" option 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 the "--dd" option that is a
short-hand for "--diff-merges=first-parent -p".
* The attribute subsystem learned to honor the "attr.tree"
configuration variable that specifies which tree to read the
.gitattributes files from.
* "git merge-file" learns a mode to read three variants of the
contents to be merged from blob objects.

- git 2.42.1:
* The usual number of bug fixes, including
* Fix "git diff" exit code handling
* Various fixes to the behavior of "rebase -i" when the command
got interrupted by conflicting changes
* Mon Oct 23 2023 [email protected]
- Add rule for /etc/gitconfig in gitweb.cgi apparmor profile (bsc#1216501).
* Mon Oct 23 2023 [email protected]
- gitweb.cgi AppArmor profile
- make the profile a named profile
- add local/ include to make custom additions easier
* Fri Sep 22 2023 [email protected]
- Downgrade openssh dependency to recommends (bsc#1215533)
* Wed Aug 23 2023 [email protected]
- git 2.42.0:
* "git pack-refs" learns "--include" and "--exclude" to tweak the ref
hierarchy to be packed using pattern matching.
* 'git worktree add' learned how to create a worktree based on an
orphaned branch with `--orphan`.
* "git pack-objects" learned to invoke a new hook program that
enumerates extra objects to be used as anchoring points to keep
otherwise unreachable objects in cruft packs.
* Add more "git var" for toolsmiths to learn various locations Git is
configured with either via the configuration or hard-coded defaults.
* 'git notes append' was taught '--separator' to specify string to insert
between paragraphs.
* The "git for-each-ref" family of commands learned placeholders
related to GPG signature verification.
* "git diff --no-index" learned to read from named pipes as if they
were regular files, to allow "git diff <(process) <(substitution)"
some shells support.
* Help newbies by suggesting that there are cases where force-pushing
is a valid and sensible thing to update a branch at a remote
repository, rather than reconciling with merge/rebase.
* "git blame --contents=file" has been taught to work in a bare
repository.
* "git branch -f X" to repoint the branch X said that X was "checked
out" in another worktree, even when branch X was not and instead
being bisected or rebased. The message was reworded to say the
branch was "in use".
* Tone down the warning on SHA-256 repositories being an experimental
curiosity. We do not have support for them to interoperate with
traditional SHA-1 repositories, but at this point, we do not plan
to make breaking changes to SHA-256 repositories and there is no
longer need for such a strongly phrased warning.
* "git diff-tree" has been taught to take advantage of the
sparse-index feature.
* The object traversal using reachability bitmap done by
"pack-object" has been tweaked to take advantage of the fact that
using "boundary" commits as representative of all the uninteresting
ones can save quite a lot of object enumeration.
* "git worktree" learned to work better with sparse index feature.
* When the external merge driver is killed by a signal, its output
should not be trusted as a resolution with conflicts that is
proposed by the driver, but the code did.
* The set-up code for the get_revision() API now allows feeding
options like --all and --not in the --stdin mode.
* Move functions that are not about pure string manipulation out of
strbuf.[ch]
* "imap-send" codepaths got cleaned up to get rid of unused
parameters.
* Enumerating refs in the packed-refs file, while excluding refs that
match certain patterns, has been optimized.
* Mark-up unused parameters in the code so that we can eventually
enable -Wunused-parameter by default.
* Instead of inventing a custom counter variables for debugging,
use existing trace2 facility in the fsync customization codepath.
* "git branch --list --format=<format>" and friends are taught
a new "%(describe)" placeholder.
* Clarify how to choose the starting point for a new topic in
developer guidance document.
* The implementation of "get_sha1_hex()" that reads a hexadecimal
string that spells a full object name has been extended to cope
with any hash function used in the repository, but the "sha1" in
its name survived. Rename it to get_hash_hex(), a name that is
more consistent within its friends like get_hash_hex_algop().
* Command line parser fix, and a small parse-options API update.
* bug fixes
* Sat Jun 03 2023 [email protected]
- git 2.41.0: This update contains a number of compatible updates,
improvements and extensions to multiple workflows. Some changes
may break backwards compatibility:
* The libsecret credential helper obsoletes direct GNOME keyring
support, which was dropped (git-credential-gnome-keyring)
* "git format-patch" has been taught to ignore end-user
configuration ("diff.noprefix") and always use the standard
prefixes, to avoid breaking the receiving end of the patch
- drop sha256_clone_fix.patch
* Tue Apr 25 2023 [email protected]
- git 2.40.1:
* CVE-2023-25652: By feeding specially crafted input to git apply
- -reject, a path outside the working tree can be overwritten
with partially controlled contents (corresponding to the
rejected hunk(s) from the given patch).
* CVE-2023-25815: When Git is compiled with runtime prefix
support and runs without translated messages, it still used
the gettext machinery to display messages, which subsequently
potentially looked for translated messages in unexpected
places. This allowed for malicious placement of crafted
messages.
* CVE-2023-29007: When renaming or deleting a section from a
configuration file, certain malicious configuration values may
be misinterpreted as the beginning of a new configuration
section, leading to arbitrary configuration injection.
* Thu Apr 06 2023 [email protected]
- sha256_clone_fix.patch: fix cloning of empty sha256 repositories (jsc#PED-3891)
* Mon Mar 13 2023 [email protected]
- git 2.40.0:
* backward incompatible change: The format.attach configuration
variable lacked a way to override a value defined in a
lower-priority configuration file (e.g. the system one) by
redefining it in a higher-priority configuration file. Now,
setting format.attach to an empty string means show the patch
inline in the e-mail message, without using MIME attachment.
* multiple commands and workflows gained additional options,
compatible functionality, or more helpful output
* "grep -P" learned to use Unicode Character Property to grok
character classes when processing \b and \w etc.
* under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes
- The scripted "git add -p/-i" implementation was removed upstream.
The openSUSE package already preferred the C implementation.
* Tue Feb 14 2023 [email protected]
- git 2.39.2:
* CVE-2023-22490: Using a specially-crafted repository, Git can
be tricked into using its local clone optimization even when
using a non-local transport boo#1208027

overwritten as the user who is running "git apply" boo#1208028
* Tue Jan 17 2023 [email protected]
- git 2.39.1, fixing two security issues that could allow remote

* Thu Dec 15 2022 [email protected]
- switch to pkgconfig(zlib) so that alternative providers can be
used
* Mon Dec 12 2022 [email protected]
- git 2.39.0:
* "git grep" learned to expand the sparse-index more lazily and
on demand in a sparse checkout.
* By default, use of fsmonitor on a repository on networked
filesystem is disabled.
* After checking out a "branch" that is a symbolic-ref that points at
another branch, "git symbolic-ref HEAD" reports the underlying
branch, not the symbolic-ref the user gave checkout as argument.
The command learned the "--no-recurse" option to stop after
dereferencing a symbolic-ref only once.
* "git branch --edit-description @{-1}" is now a way to edit branch
description of the branch you were on before switching to the
current branch.
* "git merge-tree --stdin" is a new way to request a series of merges
and report the merge results.
* "git shortlog" learned to group by the "format" string.
* A new "--include-whitespace" option is added to "git patch-id", and
existing bugs in the internal patch-id logic that did not match
what "git patch-id" produces have been corrected.
* Enable gc.cruftpacks by default for those who opt into
feature.experimental setting.
* "git repack" learns to send cruft objects out of the way into
packfiles outside the repository.
* 'scalar reconfigure -a' is taught to automatically remove
scalar.repo entires which no longer exist.
* Redact headers from cURL's h2h3 module in GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and
others.
* 'git maintenance register' is taught to write configuration to an
arbitrary path, and 'git for-each-repo' is taught to expand tilde
characters in paths.
* When creating new notes, the template used to get a stray empty
newline, which has been removed.
* "git receive-pack" used to use all the local refs as the boundary for
checking connectivity of the data "git push" sent, but now it uses
only the refs that it advertised to the pusher. In a repository with
the .hideRefs configuration, this reduces the resources needed to
perform the check.
* With '--recurse-submodules=on-demand', all submodules are
recursively pushed.
* developer visible fixes
* Mon Dec 12 2022 [email protected]
- git 2.38.2, a general maintenance release:
* Fix unaligned memory access for reads from the index v4
* "git remote rename" failed to rename a remote without fetch
refspec, which has been corrected.
* "git clone" did not like to see the "--bare" and the "--origin"
options used together without a good reason.
* "git fsck" failed to release contents of tree objects already
used from the memory
* "git rebase -i" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to
commit itself, which has been corrected.
* Fix segfault with "git merge-tree" on read-only repositories
* Fix a logic in "mailinfo -b" that miscomputed the length of a
substring, which lead to an out-of-bounds access.
* The codepath to sign learned to report errors when it fails to
read from "ssh-keygen".
* "GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description" resulted in failure
* "git multi-pack-index repack/expire" used to repack unreachable
cruft into a new pack, which have been corrected.
* The code to clean temporary object directories (used for
quarantine) tried to remove them inside its signal handler
* "git branch --edit-description" on an unborh branch misleadingly
said that no such branch exists
* `git rebase --update-refs` would delete references when all
`update-ref` commands in the sequencer were removed
* Tue Nov 01 2022 [email protected]
- disable tests on s390x (check-chainlint)
* Wed Oct 26 2022 [email protected]
- update to 2.38.1 (bsc#1204455, CVE-2022-39253, bsc#1204456, CVE-2022-39260):
* CVE-2022-39253:
When relying on the `--local` clone optimization, Git dereferences
symbolic links in the source repository before creating hardlinks
(or copies) of the dereferenced link in the destination repository.
This can lead to surprising behavior where arbitrary files are
present in a repository's `$GIT_DIR` when cloning from a malicious
repository.
Git will no longer dereference symbolic links via the `--local`
clone mechanism, and will instead refuse to clone repositories that
have symbolic links present in the `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory.
Additionally, the value of `protocol.file.allow` is changed to be
"user" by default.
* CVE-2022-39260:
An overly-long command string given to `git shell` can result in
overflow in `split_cmdline()`, leading to arbitrary heap writes and
remote code execution when `git shell` is exposed and the directory
`$HOME/git-shell-commands` exists.
`git shell` is taught to refuse interactive commands that are
longer than 4MiB in size. `split_cmdline()` is hardened to reject
inputs larger than 2GiB.
* Thu Oct 06 2022 [email protected]
- git 2.38.0:
* scalar: a repository management tool for large repositories
* new git rebase --update-refs (global rebase.updateRefs)
to update dependent branches
* merge-tree integrated with the new ort merge strategy
- -write-tree, while --trivial-merge retains the old mode
* bare git repositories can now be stored and distributed
in other git repositories
* Setting the safe.bareRepository configuration to "explicit"
avoids running arbitrary commands from filesystem monitoring
hooks of untrusted git repositories unless --git-dir is set
* git grep: new -m / --max-count options to limit the number
of matches per file
* git ls-files --format is a new option to customize outout
* git cat-file and git show now support mailmap author mapping

* "git p4" improved non-ASCII support
* Tue Jul 12 2022 [email protected]
- git 2.37.1:
* Rewrite of "git add -i" in C that appeared in Git 2.25 didn't
correctly record a removed file to the index, which is an old
regression but has become widely known because the C version has
become the default in the latest release.
* Fix for CVE-2022-29187 [boo#1201431]:
The safety check that verifies a safe ownership of the Git
worktree is now extended to also cover the ownership of the Git
directory (and the `.git` file, if there is any).

- Add /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt: checks for git-prompt.sh and source it
if available. Some users rely on the __git_ps1 function becoming available
when bash-completion is loaded. Continue to load this library at
bash-completion startup for now, to ease the transition to a world order
where the prompt function is requested separately. Inspired by Debian.

* Tue Apr 19 2022 [email protected]
- git 2.36.0:
* "git name-rev --stdin" has been deprecated and issues a
warning when used; use "git name-rev --annotate-stdin" instead.
* "git clone --filter=... --recurse-submodules" only makes the
top-level a partial clone, while submodules are fully cloned.
This behaviour is changed to pass the same filter down to the
submodules.
* improvements and extensions to multiple workflows and features
* bug fixes and performance improvements
* Thu Apr 14 2022 [email protected]
- git 2.35.3:
* usability fix-up for CVE-2022-24765 bsc#1198234:
'*' can be used as the value for the `safe.directory` variable
to signal that the user considers that any directory is safe.

- update to 2.35.1:
* fix "rebase" and "stash" in a secondary worktree
* Fri Jan 28 2022 [email protected]
- update to 2.35.0:
* "_" is now treated as any other URL-valid characters in an URL when
matching the per-URL configuration variable names.
* The color palette used by "git grep" has been updated to match that
of GNU grep.
* "git status --porcelain=v2" now show the number of stash entries
with --show-stash like the normal output does.
* "git stash" learned the "--staged" option to stash away what has
been added to the index (and nothing else).
* "git var GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH" is a way to see what name is used for
the newly created branch if "git init" is run.
* Various operating modes of "git reset" have been made to work
better with the sparse index.
* "git submodule deinit" for a submodule whose .git metadata
directory is embedded in its working tree refused to work, until
the submodule gets converted to use the "absorbed" form where the
metadata directory is stored in superproject, and a gitfile at the
top-level of the working tree of the submodule points at it. The
command is taught to convert such submodules to the absorbed form
as needed.
* The completion script (in contrib/) learns that the "--date"
option of commands from the "git log" family takes "human" and
"auto" as valid values.
* "Zealous diff3" style of merge conflict presentation has been added.
* The "git log --format=%(describe)" placeholder has been extended to
allow passing selected command-line options to the underlying "git
describe" command.
* "default" and "reset" have been added to our color palette.
* The cryptographic signing using ssh keys can specify literal keys
for keytypes whose name do not begin with the "ssh-" prefix by
using the "key::" prefix mechanism (e.g. "key::ecdsa-sha2-nistp256").
* "git fetch" without the "--update-head-ok" option ought to protect
a checked out branch from getting updated, to prevent the working
tree that checks it out to go out of sync. The code was written
before the use of "git worktree" got widespread, and only checked
the branch that was checked out in the current worktree, which has
been updated.
* "git name-rev" has been tweaked to give output that is shorter and
easier to understand.
* "git apply" has been taught to ignore a message without a patch
with the "--allow-empty" option. It also learned to honor the
"--quiet" option given from the command line.
* The "init" and "set" subcommands in "git sparse-checkout" have been
unified for a better user experience and performance.
* Many git commands that deal with working tree files try to remove a
directory that becomes empty (i.e. "git switch" from a branch that
has the directory to another branch that does not would attempt
remove all files in the directory and the directory itself). This
drops users into an unfamiliar situation if the command was run in
a subdirectory that becomes subject to removal due to the command.
The commands have been taught to keep an empty directory if it is
the directory they were started in to avoid surprising users.
* "git am" learns "--empty=(stop|drop|keep)" option to tweak what is
done to a piece of e-mail without a patch in it.
* The default merge message prepared by "git merge" records the name
of the current branch; the name can be overridden with a new option
to allow users to pretend a merge is made on a different branch.
* The way "git p4" shows file sizes in its output has been updated to
use human-readable units.
* "git -c branch.autosetupmerge=inherit branch new old" makes "new"
to have the same upstream as the "old" branch, instead of marking
"old" itself as its upstream.
* Fri Nov 26 2021 [email protected]
- update to 2.34.1 (bsc#1193722):
* "git grep" looking in a blob that has non-UTF8 payload was
completely broken when linked with certain versions of PCREv2
library in the latest release.
* "git pull" with any strategy when the other side is behind us
should succeed as it is a no-op, but doesn't.
* An earlier change in 2.34.0 caused JGit application (that abused
GIT_EDITOR mechanism when invoking "git config") to get stuck with
a SIGTTOU signal; it has been reverted.
* An earlier change that broke .gitignore matching has been reverted.
* SubmittingPatches document gained a syntactically incorrect mark-up,
which has been corrected.

- Added hardening to systemd service(s) (bsc#1181400). Modified:
* git-daemon.service
* Sat Aug 21 2021 [email protected]
- git 2.33.0:
* "git send-email" learned the "--sendmail-cmd" command line option
and the "sendemail.sendmailCmd" configuration variable, which is a
more sensible approach than the current way of repurposing the
"smtp-server" that is meant to name the server to instead name the
command to talk to the server.
* The userdiff pattern for C# learned the token "record".
* "git rev-list" learns to omit the "commit <object-name>" header
lines from the output with the `--no-commit-header` option.
* "git worktree add --lock" learned to record why the worktree is
locked with a custom message.
* internal improvements including performance optimizations
* a number of bug fixes
* Sun Jun 06 2021 [email protected]
- git 2.32.0:
* ".gitattributes", ".gitignore", and ".mailmap" files that are
symbolic links are ignored
* "git apply --3way" used to first attempt a straight
application, and only fell back to the 3-way merge algorithm
when the straight application failed. Starting with this
version, the command will first try the 3-way merge algorithm
and only when it fails (either resulting with conflict or the
base versions of blobs are missing), falls back to the usual
patch application.
* "git stash show" can now show the untracked part of the stash
* Improved "git repack" strategy
* http code can now unlock a certificate with a cached password
respectively.
* "git clone --reject-shallow" option fails the clone as soon as
we notice that we are cloning from a shallow repository.
* "gitweb" learned "e-mail privacy" feature
* Multiple improvements to output and configuration options
* Bug fixes and developer visible fixes
* Thu Apr 22 2021 [email protected]

- Require only openssh-clients where possible (TW, SLE >= 15 SP3)
(boo#1183580)
- Drop rsync requirement, not necessary anymore
* Mon Mar 15 2021 [email protected]
- git 2.31.0:
* Use of "pack-redundant" command is discouraged and will trigger
a warning. The replacement is "repack -d".
* The "--format=%(trailers)" mechanism gets enhanced to make it
easier to design output for machine consumption.
* No longer give message to choose between rebase or merge upon
pull if the history fast-forwards
* The configuration variable 'core.abbrev' can be set to 'no' to
force no abbreviation regardless of the hash algorithm.
* "git rev-parse" can be explicitly told to give output as absolute
or relative path with the `--path-format=(absolute|relative)` option.
* Bash completion (in contrib/) update to make it easier for
end-users to add completion for their custom "git" subcommands.
* "git maintenance" learned to drive scheduled maintenance on
platforms whose native scheduling methods are not 'cron'.
* After expiring a reflog and making a single commit, the reflog for
the branch would record a single entry that knows both @{0} and
@{1}, but we failed to answer "what commit were we on?", i.e. @{1}
* "git bundle" learns "--stdin" option to read its refs from the
standard input. Also, it now does not lose refs whey they point
at the same object.
* "git log" learned a new "--diff-merges=<how>" option.
* "git ls-files" can and does show multiple entries when the index is
unmerged, which is a source for confusion unless -s/-u option is in
use. A new option --deduplicate has been introduced.
* `git worktree list` now annotates worktrees as prunable, shows
locked and prunable attributes in --porcelain mode, and gained
a --verbose option.
* "git clone" tries to locally check out the branch pointed at by
HEAD of the remote repository after it is done, but the protocol
did not convey the information necessary to do so when copying an
empty repository. The protocol v2 learned how to do so.
* There are other ways than ".." for a single token to denote a
"commit range", namely "<rev>^!" and "<rev>^-<n>", but "git
range-diff" did not understand them.
* The "git range-diff" command learned "--(left|right)-only" option
to show only one side of the compared range.
* "git mergetool" feeds three versions (base, local and remote) of
a conflicted path unmodified. The command learned to optionally
prepare these files with unconflicted parts already resolved.
* The .mailmap is documented to be read only from the root level of a
working tree, but a stray file in a bare repository also was read
by accident, which has been corrected.
* "git maintenance" tool learned a new "pack-refs" maintenance task.
* The error message given when a configuration variable that is
expected to have a boolean value has been improved.
* Signed commits and tags now allow verification of objects, whose
two object names (one in SHA-1, the other in SHA-256) are both
signed.
* "git rev-list" command learned "--disk-usage" option.
* "git {diff,log} --{skip,rotate}-to=<path>" allows the user to
discard diff output for early paths or move them to the end of the
output.
* "git difftool" learned "--skip-to=<path>" option to restart an
interrupted session from an arbitrary path.
* "git grep" has been tweaked to be limited to the sparse checkout
paths.
* "git rebase --[no-]fork-point" gained a configuration variable
rebase.forkPoint so that users do not have to keep specifying a
non-default setting.
* many bug fixes

- git 2.30.2:
* CVE-2021-21300: On case-insensitive file systems with support

* "git bugreport" learns to report what shell is in use.
* SHA-256 migration work continues, including CVS/SVN interface.

committer timezone (e.g. rails.git); "git fast-import" learned an
option to pass these nonsense timestamps intact to allow recreating
existing repositories as-is.

or a named file, instead of taking it as the command line
arguments, with the "--pathspec-from-file" option.
* Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues.
* Redo "git name-rev" to avoid recursive calls.
* When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root
directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that
as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has
been corrected.
* HTTP transport had possible allocator/deallocator mismatch, which
has been corrected.

- git 2.23.0:
* The "--base" option of "format-patch" computed the patch-ids for
prerequisite patches in an unstable way, which has been updated
to compute in a way that is compatible with "git patch-id
- -stable".
* The "git log" command by default behaves as if the --mailmap
option was given.
* fixes and improvements to UI, workflow and features
* Wed Aug 14 2019 [email protected]
- git 2.22.1
* A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>"
ought to be relative to the directory "git init" gets invoked in,
but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been
corrected.
* "git worktree add" used to fail when another worktree connected to
the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected.
* "git am -i --resolved" segfaulted after trying to see a commit as
if it were a tree, which has been corrected.
* "git merge --squash" is designed to update the working tree and the
index without creating the commit, and this cannot be countermanded
by adding the "--commit" option; the command now refuses to work
when both options are given.
* Update to Unicode 12.1 width table.
* "git request-pull" learned to warn when the ref we ask them to pull
from in the local repository and in the published repository are
different.
* "git fetch" into a lazy clone forgot to fetch base objects that are
necessary to complete delta in a thin packfile, which has been
corrected.
* The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end
of the string while parsing %-<hex>-<hex> sequence.
* "git clean" silently skipped a path when it cannot lstat() it; now
it gives a warning.
* "git rm" to resolve a conflicted path leaked an internal message
"needs merge" before actually removing the path, which was
confusing. This has been corrected.
* Many more bugfixes and code cleanups.
* Wed Jul 24 2019 [email protected]

* Mon Jun 10 2019 [email protected]
- git 2.22.0
* The filter specification "--filter=sparse:path=<path>" used to
create a lazy/partial clone has been removed. Using a blob that is
part of the project as sparse specification is still supported with
the "--filter=sparse:oid=<blob>" option
* "git checkout --no-overlay" can be used to trigger a new mode of
checking out paths out of the tree-ish, that allows paths that
match the pathspec that are in the current index and working tree
and are not in the tree-ish.
* Four new configuration variables {author,committer}.{name,email}
have been introduced to override user.{name,email} in more specific
cases.
* "git branch" learned a new subcommand "--show-current".
* The command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught to
complete more subcommand parameters.
* The completion helper code now pays attention to repository-local
configuration (when available), which allows --list-cmds to honour
a repository specific setting of completion.commands, for example.
* The list of conflicted paths shown in the editor while concluding a
conflicted merge was shown above the scissors line when the
clean-up mode is set to "scissors", even though it was commented
out just like the list of updated paths and other information to
help the user explain the merge better.
* "git rebase" that was reimplemented in C did not set ORIG_HEAD
correctly, which has been corrected.
* "git worktree add" used to do a "find an available name with stat
and then mkdir", which is race-prone. This has been fixed by using
mkdir and reacting to EEXIST in a loop.

- git 2.21.0
* Historically, the "-m" (mainline) option can only be used for "git
cherry-pick" and "git revert" when working with a merge commit.
This version of Git no longer warns or errors out when working with
a single-parent commit, as long as the argument to the "-m" option
is 1 (i.e. it has only one parent, and the request is to pick or
revert relative to that first parent). Scripts that relied on the
behaviour may get broken with this change.
* Small fixes and features for fast-export and fast-import.
* The "http.version" configuration variable can be used with recent
enough versions of cURL library to force the version of HTTP used
to talk when fetching and pushing.
* "git push $there $src:$dst" rejects when $dst is not a fully
qualified refname and it is not clear what the end user meant.
* Update "git multimail" from the upstream.
* A new date format "--date=human" that morphs its output depending
on how far the time is from the current time has been introduced.
"--date=auto:human" can be used to use this new format (or any
existing format) when the output is going to the pager or to the
terminal, and otherwise the default format.

* no longer squelched an error message when the run_command API
failed to run a missing command
* Mon Dec 10 2018 [email protected]
- git 2.20.0
* "git help -a" now gives verbose output (same as "git help -av").
Those who want the old output may say "git help --no-verbose -a"..
* "git send-email" learned to grab address-looking string on any
trailer whose name ends with "-by".
* "git format-patch" learned new "--interdiff" and "--range-diff"
options to explain the difference between this version and the
previous attempt in the cover letter (or after the three-dashes as
a comment).
* Developer builds now use -Wunused-function compilation option.
* Fix a bug in which the same path could be registered under multiple
worktree entries if the path was missing (for instance, was removed
manually). Also, as a convenience, expand the number of cases in
which --force is applicable.
* The overly large Documentation/config.txt file have been split into
million little pieces. This potentially allows each individual piece
to be included into the manual page of the command it affects more easily.
* Malformed or crafted data in packstream can make our code attempt
to read or write past the allocated buffer and abort, instead of
reporting an error, which has been fixed.
* Fix for a long-standing bug that leaves the index file corrupt when
it shrinks during a partial commit.
* "git merge" and "git pull" that merges into an unborn branch used
to completely ignore "--verify-signatures", which has been
corrected.

* CVE-2018-17456: Specially crafted .gitmodules files may have
allowed arbitrary code execution when the repository is cloned
with --recurse-submodules (bsc#1110949)
* Tue Sep 11 2018 [email protected]
- git 2.19.0:
* "git diff" compares the index and the working tree. For paths
added with intent-to-add bit, the command shows the full contents
of them as added, but the paths themselves were not marked as new
files. They are now shown as new by default.
* "git apply" learned the "--intent-to-add" option so that an
otherwise working-tree-only application of a patch will add new
paths to the index marked with the "intent-to-add" bit.
* "git grep" learned the "--column" option that gives not just the
line number but the column number of the hit.
* The "-l" option in "git branch -l" is an unfortunate short-hand for
"--create-reflog", but many users, both old and new, somehow expect
it to be something else, perhaps "--list". This step warns when "-l"
is used as a short-hand for "--create-reflog" and warns about the
future repurposing of the it when it is used.
* The userdiff pattern for .php has been updated.
* The content-transfer-encoding of the message "git send-email" sends
out by default was 8bit, which can cause trouble when there is an
overlong line to bust RFC 5322/2822 limit. A new option 'auto' to
automatically switch to quoted-printable when there is such a line
in the payload has been introduced and is made the default.
* "git checkout" and "git worktree add" learned to honor
checkout.defaultRemote when auto-vivifying a local branch out of a
remote tracking branch in a repository with multiple remotes that
have tracking branches that share the same names.
(merge 8d7b558bae ab/checkout-default-remote later to maint).
* "git grep" learned the "--only-matching" option.
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" mode now handles octopus merges as
well.
* Add a server-side knob to skip commits in exponential/fibbonacci
stride in an attempt to cover wider swath of history with a smaller
number of iterations, potentially accepting a larger packfile
transfer, instead of going back one commit a time during common
ancestor discovery during the "git fetch" transaction.
(merge 42cc7485a2 jt/fetch-negotiator-skipping later to maint).
* A new configuration variable core.usereplacerefs has been added,
primarily to help server installations that want to ignore the
replace mechanism altogether.
* Teach "git tag -s" etc. a few configuration variables (gpg.format
that can be set to "openpgp" or "x509", and gpg.<format>.program
that is used to specify what program to use to deal with the format)
to allow x.509 certs with CMS via "gpgsm" to be used instead of
openpgp via "gnupg".
* Many more strings are prepared for l10n.
* "git p4 submit" learns to ask its own pre-submit hook if it should
continue with submitting.
* The test performed at the receiving end of "git push" to prevent
bad objects from entering repository can be customized via
receive.fsck.* configuration variables; we now have gained a
counterpart to do the same on the "git fetch" side, with
fetch.fsck.* configuration variables.
* "git pull --rebase=interactive" learned "i" as a short-hand for
"interactive".
* "git instaweb" has been adjusted to run better with newer Apache on
RedHat based distros.
* "git range-diff" is a reimplementation of "git tbdiff" that lets us
compare individual patches in two iterations of a topic.
* The sideband code learned to optionally paint selected keywords at
the beginning of incoming lines on the receiving end.
* "git branch --list" learned to take the default sort order from the
'branch.sort' configuration variable, just like "git tag --list"
pays attention to 'tag.sort'.
* "git worktree" command learned "--quiet" option to make it less
verbose.

* Tue May 29 2018 [email protected]
- git 2.17.1
* Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but
we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk
repo paths. This means you can do bad things by putting "../"
into the name. We now enforce some rules for submodule names
which will cause Git to ignore these malicious names
(CVE-2018-11235, bsc#1095219)
* It was possible to trick the code that sanity-checks paths on
NTFS into reading random piece of memory
(CVE-2018-11233, bsc#1095218)

- git 2.17.0:
* "diff" family of commands learned "--find-object=<object-id>" option
to limit the findings to changes that involve the named object.
* "git format-patch" learned to give 72-cols to diffstat, which is
consistent with other line length limits the subcommand uses for
its output meant for e-mails.
* The log from "git daemon" can be redirected with a new option; one
relevant use case is to send the log to standard error (instead of
syslog) when running it from inetd.
* "git rebase" learned to take "--allow-empty-message" option.
* "git am" has learned the "--quit" option, in addition to the
existing "--abort" option; having the pair mirrors a few other
commands like "rebase" and "cherry-pick".
* "git worktree add" learned to run the post-checkout hook, just like
"git clone" runs it upon the initial checkout.
* "git tag" learned an explicit "--edit" option that allows the
message given via "-m" and "-F" to be further edited.
* "git fetch --prune-tags" may be used as a handy short-hand for
getting rid of stale tags that are locally held.
* The new "--show-current-patch" option gives an end-user facing way
to get the diff being applied when "git rebase" (and "git am")
stops with a conflict.
* "git add -p" used to offer "/" (look for a matching hunk) as a
choice, even there was only one hunk, which has been corrected.
Also the single-key help is now given only for keys that are
enabled (e.g. help for '/' won't be shown when there is only one
hunk).
* Since Git 1.7.9, "git merge" defaulted to --no-ff (i.e. even when
the side branch being merged is a descendant of the current commit,
create a merge commit instead of fast-forwarding) when merging a
tag object. This was appropriate default for integrators who pull
signed tags from their downstream contributors, but caused an
unnecessary merges when used by downstream contributors who
habitually "catch up" their topic branches with tagged releases
from the upstream. Update "git merge" to default to --no-ff only
when merging a tag object that does *not* sit at its usual place in
refs/tags/ hierarchy, and allow fast-forwarding otherwise, to
mitigate the problem.
* "git status" can spend a lot of cycles to compute the relation
between the current branch and its upstream, which can now be
disabled with "--no-ahead-behind" option.
* "git diff" and friends learned funcname patterns for Go language
source files.
* "git send-email" learned "--reply-to=<address>" option.
* Funcname pattern used for C# now recognizes "async" keyword.
* In a way similar to how "git tag" learned to honor the pager
setting only in the list mode, "git config" learned to ignore the
pager setting when it is used for setting values (i.e. when the
purpose of the operation is not to "show").

- Use %license instead of %doc [bsc#1082318]
* Fri Mar 23 2018 [email protected]
- git 2.16.3:
* "git status" after moving a path in the working tree (hence
making it appear "removed") and then adding with the -N option
(hence making that appear "added") detected it as a rename, but
did not report the old and new pathnames correctly.
* "git commit --fixup" did not allow "-m<message>" option to be
used at the same time; allow it to annotate resulting commit
with more text.
* When resetting the working tree files recursively, the working
tree of submodules are now also reset to match.
* Fix for a commented-out code to adjust it to a rather old API
change around object ID.
* When there are too many changed paths, "git diff" showed a
warning message but in the middle of a line.
* The http tracing code, often used to debug connection issues,
learned to redact potentially sensitive information from its
output so that it can be more safely sharable.
* Crash fix for a corner case where an error codepath tried to
unlock what it did not acquire lock on.
* The split-index mode had a few corner case bugs fixed.
* Assorted fixes to "git daemon".
* Completion of "git merge -s<strategy>" (in contrib/) did not
work well in non-C locale.
* Workaround for segfault with more recent versions of SVN.
* Recently introduced leaks in fsck have been plugged.
* Travis CI integration now builds the executable in 'script'
phase to follow the established practice, rather than during
'before_script' phase. This allows the CI categorize the
failures better ('failed' is project's fault, 'errored' is
build environment's).

- git 2.16.2:
* An old regression in "git describe --all $annotated_tag^0" has
been fixed.
* "git svn dcommit" did not take into account the fact that a
svn+ssh:// URL with a username@ (typically used for pushing)
refers to the same SVN repository without the username@ and
failed when svn.pushmergeinfo option is set.
* "git merge -Xours/-Xtheirs" learned to use our/their version
when resolving a conflicting updates to a symbolic link.
* "git clone $there $here" is allowed even when here directory
exists as long as it is an empty directory, but the command
incorrectly removed it upon a failure of the operation.
* "git stash -- <pathspec>" incorrectly blew away untracked files
in the directory that matched the pathspec, which has been
corrected.
* "git add -p" was taught to ignore local changes to submodules
as they do not interfere with the partial addition of regular
changes anyway.

CVE-2017-14867 bsc#1061041
* "git cvsserver" no longer is invoked by "git daemon" by
default
* Thu Aug 10 2017 [email protected]
- git 2.14.1 (bsc#1052481):
* Security fix for CVE-2017-1000117: A malicious third-party can
give a crafted "ssh://..." URL to an unsuspecting victim, and
an attempt to visit the URL can result in any program that
exists on the victim's machine being executed. Such a URL could
be placed in the .gitmodules file of a malicious project, and
an unsuspecting victim could be tricked into running
"git clone --recurse-submodules" to trigger the vulnerability.
* A "ssh://..." URL can result in a "ssh" command line with a
hostname that begins with a dash "-", which would cause the
"ssh" command to instead (mis)treat it as an option. This is
now prevented by forbidding such a hostname (which should not
impact any real-world usage).
* Similarly, when GIT_PROXY_COMMAND is configured, the command
is run with host and port that are parsed out from "ssh://..."
URL; a poorly written GIT_PROXY_COMMAND could be tricked into
treating a string that begins with a dash "-" as an option.
This is now prevented by forbidding such a hostname and port
number (again, which should not impact any real-world usage).
* In the same spirit, a repository name that begins with a dash
"-" is also forbidden now.

- Submit version 2.12.0 to SLE-12 (fate#322294, bsc#977477)
* Fri Feb 24 2017 [email protected]
- git 2.12.0:
* Use of an empty string that is used for 'everything matches' is
still warned and Git asks users to use a more explicit '.' for that
instead. The hope is that existing users will not mind this
change, and eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error,
upgrading the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature. That
is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming release (yet).
* The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..."
has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in a
future release.
* An ancient script "git relink" has been removed.

- git 2.9.0:
* commands in the "git diff" and "git log" family by default
enable the rename detection; use "diff.renames" configuration
variable to disable this.
* merging two branches that have no common ancestor with "git
merge" is by default forbidden now to prevent creating such an
unusual merge by mistake.
* output formats of "git log" that indents the commit log message
by 4 spaces now expands HT in the log message by default.
The "--no-expand-tabs" option disables this.
* "git commit-tree" plumbing command required the user to always
sign its result when the user sets the commit.gpgsign
configuration variable, this is no longer the case. Scrips
using commit-tree which may rely on this mistake no needs to
read commit.gpgsign and pass the -S option as necessary.
* Many more bug fixes and minor updates.
* Tue Jun 07 2016 [email protected]
- git 2.8.4:
* Documentation updates
* "git fsck" learned to catch NUL byte in a commit object as
potential error and warn.
* "git describe --contains" improvements
* Treat "http.cookieFile" config as a path
* Suggest "submodule deinit --all" for deinitializing all submodules
* A couple of bugs around core.autocrlf have been fixed.
* "git difftool" learned to handle unmerged paths correctly in
dir-diff mode.
* Thu May 19 2016 [email protected]
- git 2.8.3:
* "git send-email" now uses a more readable timestamps when
formulating a message ID.
* When "git worktree" feature is in use, "git branch -d" allowed
deletion of a branch that is checked out in another worktree
* When "git worktree" feature is in use, "git branch -m" renamed a
branch that is checked out in another worktree without adjusting
the HEAD symbolic ref for the worktree.
* "git format-patch --help" showed `-s` and `--no-patch` as if these
are valid options to the command. We already hide `--patch` option
from the documentation, because format-patch is about showing the
diff, and the documentation now hides these options as well.
* A change back in version 2.7 to "git branch" broke display of a
symbolic ref in a non-standard place in the refs/ hierarchy (we
expect symbolic refs to appear in refs/remotes/*/HEAD to point at
the primary branch the remote has, and as .git/HEAD to point at the
branch we locally checked out).
* A partial rewrite of "git submodule" in the 2.7 timeframe changed
the way the gitdir: pointer in the submodules point at the real
repository location to use absolute paths by accident. This has
been corrected.
* "git commit" misbehaved in a few minor ways when an empty message
is given via -m '', all of which has been corrected.
* Support for CRAM-MD5 authentication method in "git imap-send" did
not work well.
* The socks5:// proxy support added back in 2.6.4 days was not aware
that socks5h:// proxies behave differently.
* "git config" had a codepath that tried to pass a NULL to
printf("%s"), which nobody seems to have noticed.
* "git replace -e" did not honour "core.editor" configuration.
* "git submodule" reports the paths of submodules the command
recurses into, but this was incorrect when the command was not run
from the root level of the superproject.
* The "user.useConfigOnly" configuration variable makes it an error
if users do not explicitly set user.name and user.email. However,
its check was not done early enough and allowed another error to
trigger, reporting that the default value we guessed from the
system setting was unusable. This was a suboptimal end-user
experience as we want the users to set user.name/user.email without
relying on the auto-detection at all.
* "git mv old new" did not adjust the path for a submodule that lives
as a subdirectory inside old/ directory correctly.
* "git push" from a corrupt repository that attempts to push a large
number of refs deadlocked; the thread to relay rejection notices
for these ref updates blocked on writing them to the main thread,
after the main thread at the receiving end notices that the push
failed and decides not to read these notices and return a failure.
* A question by "git send-email" to ask the identity of the sender
has been updated.
* Recent update to Git LFS broke "git p4" by changing the output from
its "lfs pointer" subcommand.
* Some multi-byte encoding can have a backslash byte as a later part
of one letter, which would confuse "highlight" filter used in
gitweb.
* Sat Apr 30 2016 [email protected]
- git 2.8.2:
* "index-pack --keep=<msg>" was broken since v2.1.0 timeframe.
* "git config --get-urlmatch", unlike other variants of the "git
config --get" family, did not signal error with its exit status
when there was no matching configuration.
* The "--local-env-vars" and "--resolve-git-dir" options of "git
rev-parse" failed to work outside a repository when the command's
option parsing was rewritten in 1.8.5 era.
* Fetching of history by naming a commit object name directly didn't
work across remote-curl transport.
* A small memory leak in an error codepath has been plugged in xdiff
code.
* "git mergetool" did not work well with conflicts that both sides
deleted.
* "git send-email" had trouble parsing alias file in mailrc format
when lines in it had trailing whitespaces on them.
* When "git merge --squash" stopped due to conflict, the concluding
"git commit" failed to read in the SQUASH_MSG that shows the log
messages from all the squashed commits.
* "git merge FETCH_HEAD" dereferenced NULL pointer when merging
nothing into an unborn history (which is arguably unusual usage,
which perhaps was the reason why nobody noticed it).
* "git diff -M" used to work better when two originally identical
files A and B got renamed to X/A and X/B by pairing A to X/A and B
to X/B, but this was broken in the 2.0 timeframe.
* "git send-pack --all <there>" was broken when its command line
option parsing was written in the 2.6 timeframe.
* When running "git blame $path" with unnormalized data in the index
for the path, the data in the working tree was blamed, even though
"git add" would not have changed what is already in the index, due
to "safe crlf" that disables the line-end conversion. It has been
corrected.

* catch integer overflow in the computation of pathname lengths
* get rid of the name_path API. Both of
These would have resulted in writing over an under-allocated
buffer when formulating pathnames while tree traversal.
* Fri Mar 11 2016 [email protected]
- git 2.7.3:
* "git show 'HEAD:Foo[BAR]Baz'" did not interpret the argument as a
rev, i.e. the object named by the the pathname with wildcard
characters in a tree object.
* "git rev-parse --git-common-dir" used in the worktree feature
misbehaved when run from a subdirectory.
* The "v(iew)" subcommand of the interactive "git am -i" command was
broken in 2.6.0 timeframe when the command was rewritten in C.
* "git merge-tree" used to mishandle "both sides added" conflict with
its own "create a fake ancestor file that has the common parts of
what both sides have added and do a 3-way merge" logic; this has
been updated to use the usual "3-way merge with an empty blob as
the fake common ancestor file" approach used in the rest of the
system.
* The documentation did not clearly state that the 'simple' mode is
now the default for "git push" when push.default configuration is
not set.
* Test adjustments for GNU grep, obsoleting
git-2.7.1-fix-tests-grep-2.23.patch

* "git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths
outside the client spec as empty commits. It has been
corrected to ignorethem instead, with a new configuration
git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a backward compatibility knob.
* Improve error reporting when SMTP TLS fails.
* "git symbolic-ref" forgot to report a failure with its exit
status.
* History traversal with "git log --source" that starts with an
annotated tag failed to report the tag as "source", due to an
old regression in the command line parser back in v2.2 days.

- git 2.6.1, with a security fix:
* Make xdiff code handle extremely large files, cap around 1GB.
* Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary code
found in the URL. The URLs that submodules use may come from
arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote

ones. [boo#948969]

- git 2.4.6:
* "git fetch --depth=<depth>" and "git clone --depth=<depth>"
issued a shallow transfer request even to an upload-pack that
does not support the capability.
* "git fsck" used to ignore missing or invalid objects recorded in
reflog.
* The tcsh completion writes a bash scriptlet but that would have
failed for users with noclobber set.
* "git format-patch --ignore-if-upstream A..B" did not like to be
fed tags as boundary commits.
- git-tcsh-completion-fixes.diff adjusted for context changes
* Fri Jun 26 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.4.5:
* internal code and stability improvements
* ""git rebase -i" fired post-rewrite hook when it shouldn't
(namely, when it was told to stop sequencing with 'exec' insn).
* Wed Jun 17 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.4.4:
* l10n updates for German.
* An earlier leakfix to bitmap testing code was incomplete.
* "git clean pathspec..." tried to lstat(2) and complain even for
paths outside the given pathspec.
* Communication between the HTTP server and http_backend process can
lead to a dead-lock when relaying a large ref negotiation request.
Diagnose the situation better, and mitigate it by reading such a
request first into core (to a reasonable limit).
* The clean/smudge interface did not work well when filtering an
empty contents (failed and then passed the empty input through).
It can be argued that a filter that produces anything but empty for
an empty input is nonsense, but if the user wants to do strange
things, then why not?
* Make "git stash something --help" error out, so that users can
safely say "git stash drop --help".
* Clarify that "log --raw" and "log --format=raw" are unrelated
concepts.
* Catch a programmer mistake to feed a pointer not an array to
ARRAY_SIZE() macro, by using a couple of GCC extensions.
* Sun Jun 07 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.4.3:
* Ui message corrections and improvements
* "git pull --log" and "git pull --no-log" worked as expected,
but "git pull --log=20" did not.
* Fix pull.ff configuration overriding merge.ff
* fix memory leaks and resource exhaustion errors
* documentation fixes
* Fix core.excludesfile priorities
* Wed May 27 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.4.2:
* "git rev-list --objects $old --not --all" to see if everything that
is reachable from $old is already connected to the existing refs
was very inefficient.
* "hash-object --literally" introduced in v2.2 was not prepared to
take a really long object type name.
* "git rebase --quiet" was not quite quiet when there is nothing to
do.
* The completion for "log --decorate=" parameter value was incorrect.
* "filter-branch" corrupted commit log message that ends with an
incomplete line on platforms with some "sed" implementations that
munge such a line. Work it around by avoiding to use "sed".
* "git daemon" fails to build from the source under NO_IPV6
configuration (regression in 2.4).
* "git stash pop/apply" forgot to make sure that not just the working
tree is clean but also the index is clean. The latter is important
as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for
conflict resolution.
* No longer prepend $GIT_EXEC_PATH and install path to path of
executed subprograms and hooks.
* Thu May 14 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.4.1:
* git diff bugfixes and improvements
* Fix spelling in .gitconfig created upon "git config --global"
* "git commit --date=now" or anything that relies on approxidate
lost the daylight-saving-time offset.
* "git cat-file bl $blob" failed to barf even though there is no
object type that is "bl".
* Improvements for repositories on NFS
* Mon May 04 2015 [email protected]
- Update to new upstream release 2.4.0
* "git push" has been taught an "--atomic" option that makes a push
that updates more than one ref an "all-or-none" affair.
* Output from "git log --decorate" now distinguishes between a
detached HEAD vs. a HEAD that points at a branch.
* The phrasing `git branch` uses to describe a detached HEAD has
been updated to agree with the phrasing used by `git status`.
* A new "push.followTags" configuration turns the "--follow-tags"
option on by default for the `git push` command.
- Retrieve tarball signature
* Tue Apr 28 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.3.7:
* An earlier update to the parser that disects a URL broke an
address, followed by a colon, followed by an empty string (instead
of the port number), e.g. ssh://example.com:/path/to/repo.
* The completion script (in contrib/) contaminated global namespace
and clobbered on a shell variable $x.
* The "git push --signed" protocol extension did not limit what the
"nonce" that is a server-chosen string can contain or how long it
can be, which was unnecessarily lax. Limit both the length and the
alphabet to a reasonably small space that can still have enough
entropy.
* Sun Apr 26 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.3.6:
* "diff-highlight" (in contrib/) multibyte character support
* Thu Apr 02 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.3.5:
* The prompt script (in contrib/) did not show the untracked sign
when working in a subdirectory without any untracked files.
* Even though "git grep --quiet" is run merely to ask for the exit
status, we spawned the pager regardless. Stop doing that.
* Recommend format-patch and send-email for those who want to
submit patches to this project.
* An failure early in the "git clone" that started creating the
working tree and repository could have resulted in some
directories and files left without getting cleaned up.
* "git fetch" that fetches a commit using the allow-tip-sha1-in-want
extension could have failed to fetch all the requested refs.
* The split-index mode introduced at v2.3.0-rc0~41 was broken in
the codepath to protect us against a broken reimplementation of
Git that writes an invalid index with duplicated index entries,
etc.
* "git prune" used to largely ignore broken refs when deciding
which objects are still being used, which could spread an
existing small damage and make it a larger one.
* "git tag -h" used to show the "--column" and "--sort" options
that are about listing in a wrong section.
* The transfer.hiderefs support did not quite work for smart-http
transport.
* The code that reads from the ctags file in the completion script
(in contrib/) did not spell ${param/pattern/string} substitution
correctly, which happened to work with bash but not with zsh.
* The explanation on "rebase --preserve-merges", "pull
- -rebase=preserve", and "push --force-with-lease" in the
documentation was unclear.
* Tue Mar 24 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.3.4:
* The 'color.status.unmerged' configuration was not described.
* "git log --decorate" did not reset colors correctly around the
branch names.
* "git -C '' subcmd" refused to work in the current directory, unlike
"cd ''" which silently behaves as a no-op.
* "git imap-send" learned to optionally talk with an IMAP server via
libcURL; because there is no other option when Git is built with
NO_OPENSSL option, use that codepath by default under such
configuration.
* A workaround for certain build of GPG that triggered false breakage
in a test has been added.
* "git rebase -i" recently started to include the number of
commits in the insn sheet to be processed, but on a platform
that prepends leading whitespaces to "wc -l" output, the numbers
are shown with extra whitespaces that aren't necessary.
* We did not parse username followed by literal IPv6 address in SSH
transport URLs, e.g. ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:22/repo.git
correctly.
* Sat Mar 14 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.3.3:
* A corrupt input to "git diff -M" used cause us to segfault.
* The borrowed code in kwset API did not follow our usual convention
to use "unsigned char" to store values that range from 0-255.
* Description given by "grep -h" for its --exclude-standard option
was phrased poorly.
* Documentaton for "git remote add" mentioned "--tags" and
"--no-tags" and it was not clear that fetch from the remote in
the future will use the default behaviour when neither is given
to override it.
* "git diff --shortstat --dirstat=changes" showed a dirstat based on
lines that was never asked by the end user in addition to the
dirstat that the user asked for.
* The interaction between "git submodule update" and the
submodule.*.update configuration was not clearly documented.
* "git apply" was not very careful about reading from, removing,
updating and creating paths outside the working tree (under
- -index/--cached) or the current directory (when used as a
replacement for GNU patch).
* "git daemon" looked up the hostname even when "%CH" and "%IP"
interpolations are not requested, which was unnecessary.
* The "interpolated-path" option of "git daemon" inserted any string
client declared on the "host=" capability request without checking.
Sanitize and limit %H and %CH to a saner and a valid DNS name.
* Thu Mar 12 2015 [email protected]
- Fix missing /usr/share/tcsh/git.complete (bnc#919105):
git-tcsh-completion-fixes.diff was refreshed for generating the
script correctly
* Sat Mar 07 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.3.2:
* "update-index --refresh" used to leak when an entry cannot be
refreshed for whatever reason.
* "git fast-import" used to crash when it could not close and
conclude the resulting packfile cleanly.
* "git blame" died, trying to free an uninitialized piece of memory.
* "git merge-file" did not work correctly in a subdirectory.
* "git submodule add" failed to squash "path/to/././submodule" to
"path/to/submodule".
* In v2.2.0, we broke "git prune" that runs in a repository that
borrows from an alternate object store.
* Certain older vintages of cURL give irregular output from
"curl-config --vernum", which confused our build system.
* Longstanding configuration variable naming rules has been added to
the documentation.
* Older GnuPG implementations may not correctly import the keyring
material we prepare for the tests to use.
* Clarify in the documentation that "remote.<nick>.pushURL" and
"remote.<nick>.URL" are there to name the same repository accessed
via different transports, not two separate repositories.
* The pack bitmap support did not build with older versions of GCC.
* Reading configuration from a blob object, when it ends with a lone
CR, use to confuse the configuration parser.
* We didn't format an integer that wouldn't fit in "int" but in
"uintmax_t" correctly.
* "git push --signed" gave an incorrectly worded error message when
the other side did not support the capability.
* "git fetch" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to "list"
command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD.
* The insn sheet "git rebase -i" creates did not fully honor
core.abbrev settings.
* The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after
running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it
is not run as root, we used "can we write into the / directory?" as
a cheap substitute, but on some platforms that is not a good
heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to
check what they really require.
* The configuration variable 'mailinfo.scissors' was hard to
discover in the documentation.
* Correct a breakage to git-svn around v2.2 era that triggers
premature closing of FileHandle.
* Even though we officially haven't dropped Perl 5.8 support, the
Getopt::Long package that came with it does not support "--no-"
prefix to negate a boolean option; manually add support to help
people with older Getopt::Long package.
* Wed Mar 04 2015 [email protected]
- Don't install dummy hg and bzr remote helpers
* Thu Feb 26 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.3.1:
* The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it"
interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when
the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the
user could have made was to choose nothing.
* "git apply --whitespace=fix" used to under-allocate the memory
when the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch.
* "git log --help" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant
to the "log" command.
* The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author
name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been
reworded to avoid misunderstanding.
* A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the
dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other
side.
* The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the
only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in
the --raw format.
* Fix a misspelled conditional that is always true.
* Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory
would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file.
* The "git push" documentation made the "--repo=<there>" option
easily misunderstood.
* After attempting and failing a password-less authentication
(e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based
Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement.
* Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce
broken patches.
* "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
files and failed to do so for whatever reason.
* "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it
tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD".
* Fri Feb 06 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.3.0:
Many small corrections and improvements.
- UI, Workflows and Features:
* New GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable
* Can now store empty notes
* "git interpret-trailers" learned to properly handle the
"Conflicts:" block at the end.
* "git am" learned "--message-id" option
* "git clone --reference=<over there>" learned the "--dissociate"
option
* "git send-email" learned the "--transfer-encoding" option
* "git send-email" learned the "--no-xmailer" option
* "git branch -d" (delete) and "git branch -m" (move) learned to
honor "-f" (force) flag
* "git imap-send" learned to take "-v" (verbose) and "-q" (quiet)
command line options.
* Tue Jan 13 2015 [email protected]
- git 2.2.2:
+ "git checkout $treeish $path", when $path in the index and the
working tree already matched what is in $treeish at the $path,
still overwrote the $path unnecessarily.
+ "git config --get-color" did not parse its command line arguments
carefully.
+ A few code paths used abs() when they should have used labs() on
long integers.
+ "gitweb" used to depend on a behaviour recent CGI.pm deprecated.
+ "git init" (hence "git clone") initialized the per-repository
configuration file .git/config with x-bit by mistake.
+ Git 2.0 was supposed to make the "simple" mode for the default of
"git push", but it didn't.
+ "Everyday" document had a broken link.
+ The build procedure did not bother fixing perl and python scripts
when NO_PERL and NO_PYTHON build-time configuration changed.
+ The code that reads the reflog from the newer to the older entries
did not handle an entry that crosses a boundary of block it uses to
read them correctly.
+ "git apply" was described in the documentation to take --ignore-date
option, which it does not.
+ Traditionally we tried to avoid interpreting date strings given by
the user as future dates, e.g. GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=2014-12-10 when
used early November 2014 was taken as "October 12, 2014" because it
is likely that a date in the future, December 10, is a mistake.
This heuristics has been loosened to allow people to express future
dates (most notably, --until=<date> may want to be far in the
future) and we no longer tiebreak by future-ness of the date when
(1) ISO-like format is used, and
(2) the string can make sense interpreted as both y-m-d and y-d-m.
Git may still have to use the heuristics to tiebreak between dd/mm/yy
and mm/dd/yy, though.
+ The code to abbreviate an object name to its short unique prefix
has been optimized when no abbreviation was requested.
+ "git add --ignore-errors ..." did not ignore an error to
give a file that did not exist.
+ Git did not correctly read an overlong refname from a packed refs
file.

Fixes arbitrary command execution vulnerability on case-
insensitive file systems. [boo#910756] [CVE-2014-9390]

- git 2.1.3:
* Some MUAs mangled a line in a message that begins with "From "
to ">From " when writing to a mailbox file and feeding such an
input to "git am" used to lose such a line.
* "git daemon" (with NO_IPV6 build configuration) used to
incorrectly use the hostname even when gethostbyname()
reported that the given hostname is not found.
* Newer versions of 'meld' breaks the auto-detection we use to
see if they are new enough to support the `--output` option.
* "git pack-objects" forgot to disable the codepath to generate
object recheability bitmap when it needs to split the resulting
pack.
* "gitweb" used deprecated CGI::startfrom, which was removed from
CGI.pm as of 4.04; use CGI::start_from instead.
* "git log" documentation had an example section marked up not
quite correctly, which passed AsciiDoc but failed with
AsciiDoctor.

- Adapt git-web to newer apache2 (bnc#898318, bnc#897005)
* Tue Sep 30 2014 [email protected]
- git 2.1.2:
* "git push" over HTTP transport had an artificial limit on
number of refs that can be pushed imposed by the command line
length.
* When receiving an invalid pack stream that records the same
object twice, multiple threads got confused due to a race.
* An attempt to remove the entire tree in the "git fast-import"
input stream caused it to misbehave.
* Reachability check (used in "git prune" and friends) did not
add a detached HEAD as a starting point to traverse
objects still in use.
* "git config --add section.var val" used to lose existing
section.var whose value was an empty string.
* "git fsck" failed to report that it found corrupt objects via
its exit status in some cases.
* Sat Sep 20 2014 [email protected]
- git 2.1.1:
* Git 2.0 had a regression where "git fetch" into a shallowly
cloned repository from a repository with bitmap object index
enabled did not work correctly. This has been corrected.
* Git 2.0 had a regression which broke (rarely used) "git diff-tree
- t". This has been corrected.
* "git log --pretty/format=" with an empty format string did not
mean the more obvious "No output whatsoever" but "Use default
format", which was counterintuitive. Now it means "nothing shown
for the log message part".
* "git -c section.var command" and "git -c section.var= command"
should pass the configuration differently (the former should be a
boolean true, the latter should be an empty string), but they
didn't work that way. Now it does.
* Applying a patch not generated by Git in a subdirectory used to
check the whitespace breakage using the attributes for incorrect
paths. Also whitespace checks were performed even for paths
excluded via "git apply --exclude=<path>" mechanism.
* "git bundle create" with date-range specification were meant to
exclude tags outside the range, but it did not work correctly.
* "git add x" where x that used to be a directory has become a
symbolic link to a directory misbehaved.
* The prompt script checked $GIT_DIR/ref/stash file to see if there
is a stash, which was a no-no.
* "git checkout -m" did not switch to another branch while carrying
the local changes forward when a path was deleted from the index.
* With sufficiently long refnames, fast-import could have overflown
an on-stack buffer.
* After "pack-refs --prune" packed refs at the top-level, it failed
to prune them.
* "git gc --auto" triggered from "git fetch --quiet" was not quiet.

* Sat Jul 26 2014 [email protected]
- git 2.0.3:
* An ancient rewrite passed a wrong pointer to a curl library
function in a rarely used code path.
* "filter-branch" left an empty single-parent commit that results
when all parents of a merge commit gets mapped to the same
commit, even under "--prune-empty".
* "log --show-signature" incorrectly decided the color to paint a
mergetag that was and was not correctly validated.
* "log --show-signature" did not pay attention to "--graph" option.
* Thu Jul 24 2014 [email protected]
- git 2.0.2:
* Documentation for "git submodule sync" forgot to say that the subcommand
can take the "--recursive" option.
* Mishandling of patterns in .gitignore that has trailing SPs quoted
with backslashes (e.g. ones that end with "\ ") have been
corrected.
* Recent updates to "git repack" started to duplicate objects that
are in packfiles marked with .keep flag into the new packfile by
mistake.
* "git clone -b brefs/tags/bar" would have mistakenly thought we were
following a single tag, even though it was a name of the branch,
because it incorrectly used strstr().
* "%G" (nothing after G) is an invalid pretty format specifier, but
the parser did not notice it as garbage.
* Code to avoid adding the same alternate object store twice was
subtly broken for a long time, but nobody seems to have noticed.
* A handful of code paths had to read the commit object more than
once when showing header fields that are usually not parsed. The
internal data structure to keep track of the contents of the commit
object has been updated to reduce the need for this double-reading,
and to allow the caller find the length of the object.
* During "git rebase --merge", a conflicted patch could not be
skipped with "--skip" if the next one also conflicted.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.0.1.txt
* Mon Jun 16 2014 [email protected]
- git 2.0.0
- Backward compatibility notes:
* git push now uses "simple" semantics by default instead of
old "matching", use variable "push.default" to revert
* "git add -u" and "git add -A" operate on entire tree, use
"git add -u ." or "git add -A ." for current directory only.
* "git add <path>" is the same as "git add -A <path>" now, use
"git add --ignore-removal <path>" for previous behaviour
* "-q" option of "git diff-files" has been removed. To ignore
deletion, use "git diff-files --diff-filter=d"
* "git request-pull" lost a few "heuristics"
* default prefix for "git svn" remote-tracking branches changed
from refs/remotes to refs/remotes/origin/ unless with "--prefix"
- Updates, fixes and features as listed in:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.0.0.txt
* Wed Jun 11 2014 [email protected]
- git 1.9.4:
* Commands that take pathspecs on the command line misbehaved
when the pathspec is given as an absolute pathname (which is a
practice not particularly encouraged) that points at a
symbolic link in the working tree.
* An earlier fix to the shell prompt script (in contrib/) for
using the PROMPT_COMMAND interface did not correctly check if
the extra code path needs to trigger, causing the branch name
not to appear when 'promptvars' option is disabled in bash or
PROMPT_SUBST is unset in zsh.
- switch to xz tarball form kernel.org
* Sun May 11 2014 [email protected]
- git 1.9.3:
* "git p4" dealing with changes in binary files were broken by a
change in 1.9 release.
* The shell prompt script (in contrib/), when using the
PROMPT_COMMAND interface, used an unsafe construct when showing
the branch name in $PS1.
* Some more Unicode codepoints defined in Unicode 6.3 as having
zero width have been taught to our display column counting
logic.
* Sun Apr 13 2014 [email protected]
- git 1.9.2:
* Fix an issue with "git fetch --prune" removing paths on
multiple fetch
* "git update-ref --stdin" did not fail a request to create a
ref when the ref already existed.
* "git diff --no-index -Mq a b" fell into an infinite loop.
* Do not override GIT_EDITOR when no commit message is required
to not affect other uses
* "git status --porcelain --branch" showed its output with labels
"ahead/behind/gone" translated to the user's locale.
* "git mv" that moves a submodule forgot to adjust the array that
uses to keep track of which submodules were to be moved to
update its configuration
* Length limit for the pathname used when removing a path in a
deep subdirectory has been removed to avoid buffer overflows.
* "git index-pack" used a wrong variable to name the keep-file in
an error message when the file cannot be written or closed.
* "rebase -i" produced a broken insn sheet when the title of a
commit happened to contain '\n' (or ended with '\c') due to a
careless use of 'echo'.
* Serving objects from a shallow repository needs to write a
new file to hold the temporary shallow boundaries but it was not
cleaned when we exit due to die() or a signal.
* When "git stash pop" stops after failing to apply the stash
(e.g. due to conflicting changes), the stash is not dropped.
State that explicitly in the output to let the users know.
* The labels in "git status" output that describe the nature of
conflicts (e.g. "both deleted") were limited to 20 bytes, which
was too short for some l10n (e.g. fr).
* minor documentation updates

* Fri Aug 09 2013 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.8.3.4:
* The bisect log listed incorrect commits when bisection ends with
only skipped ones.
* The test coverage framework was left broken for some time.
* The test suite for HTTP transport did not run with Apache 2.4.
* "git diff" used to fail when core.safecrlf is set and the working
tree contents had mixed CRLF/LF line endings. Committing such a
content must be prohibited, but "git diff" should help the user to
locate and fix such problems without failing.

* Tue Mar 12 2013 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.8.1.5:
* minor fixes and documentation updates.
more details, please see here:
https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.1.5.txt
* Wed Feb 20 2013 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.8.1.4:
* "git imap-send" talking over imaps:// did make sure it received a
valid certificate from the other end, but did not check if the
certificate matched the host it thought it was talking to.
* Sat Feb 16 2013 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.8.1.3:
* minor fixes and documentation updates.
more details, please see here:
https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.1.3.txt
* Wed Jan 30 2013 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.8.1.2:
* An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the
real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused
the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling.
* Command line completion for "tcsh" emitted an unwanted space
after completing a single directory name.
* Command line completion leaked an unnecessary error message while
looking for possible matches with paths in <tree-ish>.
* "git archive" did not record uncompressed size in the header when
streaming a zip archive, which confused some implementations of unzip.
* When users spelled "cc:" in lowercase in the fake "header" in the
trailer part, "git send-email" failed to pick up the addresses from
there. As e-mail headers field names are case insensitive, this
script should follow suit and treat "cc:" and "Cc:" the same way.
Also contains various documentation fixes.
* Thu Jan 17 2013 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.8.1.1:
* minor fixes and documentation updates.

* a bit of features.
* other minor fixes and documentation updates since v1.8.0.
more details, please see here:
https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.1.txt.
* Fri Dec 14 2012 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.8.0.2:
* Various codepaths have workaround for a common misconfiguration to
spell "UTF-8" as "utf8", but it was not used uniformly. Most
notably, mailinfo (which is used by "git am") lacked this support.
* We failed to mention a file without any content change but whose
permission bit was modified, or (worse yet) a new file without any
content in the "git diff --stat" output.
* When "--stat-count" hides a diffstat for binary contents, the total
number of added and removed lines at the bottom was computed
incorrectly.
* When "--stat-count" hides a diffstat for unmerged paths, the total
number of affected files at the bottom of the "diff --stat" output
was computed incorrectly.
* "diff --shortstat" miscounted the total number of affected files
when there were unmerged paths.
* "git p4" used to try expanding malformed "$keyword$" that spans
across multiple lines.
* "git update-ref -d --deref SYM" to delete a ref through a symbolic
ref that points to it did not remove it correctly.
* Syntax highlighting in "gitweb" was not quite working.
Also contains other minor fixes and documentation updates.
* Tue Nov 27 2012 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.8.0.1:
* a bit of features.
* other minor fixes and documentation updates since v1.8.0.

* Mon Oct 22 2012 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.8.0:
* a lot of features.
* minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
* all the fixes since v1.7.12.
more details, please see here:
https://raw.github.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.0.txt.
* Thu Oct 18 2012 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.7.12.4:
* "git fetch" over the dumb-http revision walker could segfault when
curl's multi interface was used.
* It was possible to give specific paths for "asciidoc" and other
tools in the documentation toolchain, but not for "xmlto".
* "gitweb" did not give the correct committer timezone in its feed
output due to a typo.
* The "-Xours" (and similarly -Xtheirs) backend option to "git
merge -s recursive" was ignored for binary files. Now it is
honored.
* The "binary" synthetic attribute made "diff" to treat the path as
binary, but not "merge".
Also contains many documentation updates.
* Thu Oct 11 2012 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.7.12.3:
* "git am" mishandled a patch attached as application/octet-stream
(e.g. not text/*); Content-Transfer-Encoding (e.g. base64) was not
honored correctly.
* It was unclear in the documentation for "git blame" that it is
unnecessary for users to use the "--follow" option.
* A repository created with "git clone --single" had its fetch
refspecs set up just like a clone without "--single", leading the
subsequent "git fetch" to slurp all the other branches, defeating
the whole point of specifying "only this branch".
* "git fetch" over http had an old workaround for an unlikely server
misconfiguration; it turns out that this hurts debuggability of the
configuration in general, and has been reverted.
* "git fetch" over http advertised that it supports "deflate", which
is much less common, and did not advertise the more common "gzip" on
its Accept-Encoding header.
* "git receive-pack" (the counterpart to "git push") did not give
progress output while processing objects it received to the puser
when run over the smart-http protocol.
* "git status" honored the ignore=dirty settings in .gitmodules but
"git commit" didn't.
Also contains a handful of documentation updates.
* Mon Oct 08 2012 [email protected]
- Use ./.make also in %check to test exactly what was built
- Avoid duplicate file warnings
* Fri Oct 05 2012 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.7.12.2:
* When "git am" is fed an input that has multiple "Content-type: ..."
header, it did not grok charset= attribute correctly.
* Even during a conflicted merge, "git blame $path" always meant to
blame uncommitted changes to the "working tree" version; make it
more useful by showing cleanly merged parts as coming from the other
branch that is being merged.
* "git blame MAKEFILE" run in a history that has "Makefile" but not
"MAKEFILE" should say "No such file MAKEFILE in HEAD", but got
confused on a case insensitive filesystem and failed to do so.
* "git fetch --all", when passed "--no-tags", did not honor the
"--no-tags" option while fetching from individual remotes (the same
issue existed with "--tags", but combination "--all --tags" makes
much less sense than "--all --no-tags").
* "git log/diff/format-patch --stat" showed the "N line(s) added"
comment in user's locale and caused careless submitters to send
patches with such a line in them to projects whose project language
is not their language, mildly irritating others. Localization to
the line has been disabled for now.
* "git log --all-match --grep=A --grep=B" ought to show commits that
mention both A and B, but when these three options are used with
- -author or --committer, it showed commits that mention either A or
B (or both) instead.
* The subcommand to remove the definition of a remote in "git remote"
was named "rm" even though all other subcommands were spelled out.
Introduce "git remote remove" to remove confusion, and keep "rm" as
a backward compatible synonym.
Also contains a handful of documentation updates.
* Tue Sep 25 2012 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.7.12.1:
* "git apply -p0" did not parse pathnames on "diff --git" line
correctly. This caused patches that had pathnames in no other
places to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that
does not rename nor change mode). Textual patches, renames or mode
changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different places
in a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer from
this problem.
* "git cherry-pick A C B" used to replay changes in A and then B and
then C if these three commits had committer timestamps in that
order, which is not what the user who said "A C B" naturally
expects.
* "git commit --amend" let the user edit the log message and then
died when the human-readable committer name was given
insufficiently by getpwent(3).
* Some capabilities were asked by fetch-pack even when upload-pack
did not advertise that they are available. fetch-pack has been
fixed not to do so.
* "git diff" had a confusion between taking data from a path in the
working tree and taking data from an object that happens to have
name 0{40} recorded in a tree.
* "git for-each-ref" did not correctly support more than one --sort
option.
* "git log .." errored out saying it is both rev range and a path
when there is no disambiguating "--" is on the command line.
Update the command line parser to interpret ".." as a path in such
a case.
* The "--topo-order", "--date-order" (and the lack of either means
the default order) options to "rev-list" and "log" family of
commands were poorly described in the documentation.
* "git prune" without "-v" used to warn about leftover temporary
files (which is an indication of an earlier aborted operation).
* Pushing to smart HTTP server with recent Git fails without having
the username in the URL to force authentication, if the server is
configured to allow GET anonymously, while requiring authentication
for POST.
* The reflog entries left by "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" were
inconsistent (the interactive one gave an abbreviated object name).
* When "git push" triggered the automatic gc on the receiving end, a
message from "git prune" that said it was removing cruft leaked to
the standard output, breaking the communication protocol.
* "git show --quiet" ought to be a synonym for "git show -s", but
wasn't.
* "git show --format='%ci'" did not give timestamp correctly for
commits created without human readable name on "committer" line.
* "git send-email" did not unquote encoded words that appear on the
header correctly, and lost "_" from strings.
* The interactive prompt "git send-email" gives was error prone. It
asked "What e-mail address do you want to use?" with the address it
guessed (correctly) the user would want to use in its prompt,
tempting the user to say "y". But the response was taken as "No,
please use 'y' as the e-mail address instead", which is most
certainly not what the user meant.
* "gitweb" when used with PATH_INFO failed to notice directories with
SP (and other characters that need URL-style quoting) in them.
* When the user gives an argument that can be taken as both a
revision name and a pathname without disambiguating with "--", we
used to give a help message "Use '--' to separate". The message
has been clarified to show where that '--' goes on the command
line.
* When the user exports a non-default IFS without HT, scripts that
rely on being able to parse "ls-files -s | while read a b c..."
started to fail. Protect them from such a misconfiguration.
* The attribute system may be asked for a path that itself or its
leading directories no longer exists in the working tree, and it is
fine if we cannot open .gitattribute file in such a case. Failure
to open per-directory .gitattributes with error status other than
ENOENT and ENOTDIR should be diagnosed, but it wasn't.
* After "gitk" showed the contents of a tag, neither "Reread
references" nor "Reload" did not update what is shown as the
contents of it, when the user overwrote the tag with "git tag -f".
* "ciabot" script (in contrib/) has been updated with extensive
documentation.
* "git-jump" script (in contrib/) did not work well when
diff.noprefix or diff.mnemonicprefix is in effect.
* Older parts of the documentation described as if having a regular
file in .git/refs/ hierarchy were the only way to have branches and
tags, which is not true for quite some time.
* A utility shell function test_seq has been added as a replacement
for the 'seq' utility found on some platforms.
* Compatibility wrapper to learn the maximum number of file
descriptors we can open around sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) and
getrlimit(RLIMIT_NO_FILE) has been introduced for portability.
* We used curl_easy_strerror() without checking version of cURL,
breaking the build for versions before curl 7.12.0.
* Code to work around MacOS X UTF-8 gotcha has been cleaned up.
* Fallback 'getpass' implementation made unportable use of stdio API.
* The "--rebase" option to "git pull" can be abbreviated to "-r",
but we didn't document it.
* It was generally understood that "--long-option"s to many of our
subcommands can be abbreviated to the unique prefix, but it was not
easy to find it described for new readers of the documentation set.
* The synopsis said "checkout [-B branch]" to make it clear the
branch name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the
option description was "-B::", not "-B branch::", making the
documentation misleading.
Also contains numerous documentation updates.
* Wed Sep 12 2012 [email protected]
- git-prompt.sh (for __git_ps1) was broken out of
git-completion.bash. Install it too.
* Tue Sep 11 2012 [email protected]

new options, new commands:
See Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.12.txt for details.
- fix broken bash completion when egrep is aliased with --color
option (bnc#779536)
* Thu Aug 16 2012 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.7.11.5:
* The Makefile rule to create assembly output (primarily for
debugging purposes) did not create it next to the source.
* The code to avoid mistaken attempt to add the object directory
itself as its own alternate could read beyond end of a string while
comparison.
* On some architectures, "block-sha1" did not compile correctly
when compilers inferred alignment guarantees from our source we
did not intend to make.
* When talking to a remote running ssh on IPv6 enabled host, whose
address is spelled as "[HOST]:PORT", we did not parse the address
correctly and failed to connect.
* git-blame.el (in compat/) have been updated to use Elisp more
correctly.
* "git checkout <branchname>" to come back from a detached HEAD state
incorrectly computed reachability of the detached HEAD, resulting
in unnecessary warnings.
* "git mergetool" did not support --tool-help option to give the list
of supported backends, like "git difftool" does.
* "git grep" stopped spawning an external "grep" long time ago, but a
duplicated test to check internal and external "grep" was left
behind.
* Tue Aug 07 2012 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.7.11:
Major version update; added new options in many commands and
new push mode like "simple"
See Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.11.txt for details.
- updated to version 1.7.11.1, 1.7.11.2, 1.7.11.3, 1.7.11.4:

- updated to version 1.7.10.4: just minor fixes in git-checkout,
git-grep, git-rebase, updated translations and documents.
See Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.10.4.txt for details.
* Tue May 29 2012 [email protected]
- updated to version 1.7.10.3:
* From this release on, the "git merge" command in an interactive
session will start an editor when it automatically resolves the
merge for the user to explain the resulting commit, just like the
"git commit" command does when it wasn't given a commit message.
* The "--binary/-b" options to "git am" have been a no-op for quite a
while and were deprecated in mid 2008 (v1.6.0). When you give these
options to "git am", it will now warn and ask you not to use them.
* When you do not tell which branches and tags to push to the "git
push" command in any way, the command used "matching refs" rule to
update remote branches and tags with branches and tags with the
same name you locally have.
See details and more changes in Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.10.txt,
1.7.10.1.txt, 1.7.10.2.txt and 1.7.10.3.txt.

- Fix build on SLE_11, seems %files there doesn't support more
than one -f option
* Mon Feb 27 2012 [email protected]
- Update to version 1.7.9.2:
* Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not like a pattern that
begins with a dash to be passed to __git_ps1 helper function.
* Adaptation of the bash completion script (in contrib/) for zsh
incorrectly listed all subcommands when "git <TAB><TAB>" was given
to ask for list of porcelain subcommands.
* The build procedure for profile-directed optimized binary was not
working very well.
* Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset().
* t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing.
* The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
not phrased correctly.
* The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
with GUI askpass helper).
* We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when
they are invoked with the pager, i.e. "git -p cmd".
* map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
excess '>' at the end of email addresses.
* "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.
* When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, "git clone .../foo" did not
favor the former but the latter.
* "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
"add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
these paths.
* "git diff --stat" said "files", "insertions", and "deletions" even
when it is showing one "file", one "insertion" or one "deletion".
* The output from "git diff --stat" for two paths that have the same
amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the
way we handled rounding errors.
* "git grep" did not pay attention to -diff (hence -binary) attribute.
* The transport programs (fetch, push, clone)ignored --no-progress
and showed progress when sending their output to a terminal.
* Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of
"git receive-pack" (the other end of "git push") was lost by later
checks, resulting in false indication of success.
* "git rev-list --verify" sometimes skipped verification depending on
the phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series.
* Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
* Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file
correctly.
* Thu Feb 09 2012 [email protected]
- updated to v1.7.9:
* gitk updates accumulated since early 2011.
* git-gui updated to 0.16.0.
* git-p4 (in contrib/) updates.
* Git uses gettext to translate its most common interface messages
into the user's language if translations are available and the
locale is appropriately set. Distributors can drop new PO files
in po/ to add new translations.
* The code to handle username/password for HTTP transactions used in
"git push" & "git fetch" learned to talk "credential API" to
external programs to cache or store them, to allow integration with
platform native keychain mechanisms.
* The input prompts in the terminal use our own getpass() replacement
when possible. HTTP transactions used to ask for the username without
echoing back what was typed, but with this change you will see it as
you type.
* The internals of "revert/cherry-pick" have been tweaked to prepare
building more generic "sequencer" on top of the implementation that
drives them.
* "git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD" after "git fetch" without specifying
what to fetch from the command line will now show the commit that
would be merged if the command were "git pull".
* "git add" learned to stream large files directly into a packfile
instead of writing them into individual loose object files.
* "git checkout -B <current branch> <elsewhere>" is a more intuitive
way to spell "git reset --keep <elsewhere>".
* "git checkout" and "git merge" learned "--no-overwrite-ignore" option
to tell Git that untracked and ignored files are not expendable.
* "git commit --amend" learned "--no-edit" option to say that the
user is amending the tree being recorded, without updating the
commit log message.
* "git commit" and "git reset" re-learned the optimization to prime
the cache-tree information in the index, which makes it faster to
write a tree object out after the index entries are updated.
* "git commit" detects and rejects an attempt to stuff NUL byte in
the commit log message.
* "git commit" learned "-S" to GPG-sign the commit; this can be shown
with the "--show-signature" option to "git log".
* fsck and prune are relatively lengthy operations that still go
silent while making the end-user wait. They learned to give progress
output like other slow operations.
* The set of built-in function-header patterns for various languages
knows MATLAB.
* "git log --format='<format>'" learned new %g[nNeE] specifiers to
show information from the reflog entries when walking the reflog
(i.e. with "-g").
* "git pull" can be used to fetch and merge an annotated/signed tag,
instead of the tip of a topic branch. The GPG signature from the
signed tag is recorded in the resulting merge commit for later
auditing.
* "git log" learned "--show-signature" option to show the signed tag
that was merged that is embedded in the merge commit. It also can
show the signature made on the commit with "git commit -S".
* "git branch --edit-description" can be used to add descriptive text
to explain what a topic branch is about.
* "git fmt-merge-msg" learned to take the branch description into
account when preparing a merge summary that "git merge" records
when merging a local branch.
* "git request-pull" has been updated to convey more information
useful for integrators to decide if a topic is worth merging and
what is pulled is indeed what the requestor asked to pull,
including:
- the tip of the branch being requested to be merged;
- the branch description describing what the topic is about;
- the contents of the annotated tag, when requesting to pull a tag.
* "git pull" learned to notice 'pull.rebase' configuration variable,
which serves as a global fallback for setting 'branch.<name>.rebase'
configuration variable per branch.
* "git tag" learned "--cleanup" option to control how the whitespaces
and empty lines in tag message are cleaned up.
* "gitweb" learned to show side-by-side diff.
* Fri Jan 27 2012 [email protected]
- Added the ability to specify the user and group that git-daemon run
as (bnc#742661).
* Wed Jan 11 2012 [email protected]
- Update to v1.7.8.3
* Attempt to fetch from an empty file pretending it to be a bundle did
not error out correctly.
* gitweb did not correctly fall back to configured $fallback_encoding
that is not 'latin1'.
* "git clone --depth $n" did not catch a non-number given as $n as an
error.
* Porcelain commands like "git reset" did not distinguish deletions
and type-changes from ordinary modification, and reported them with
the same 'M' moniker. They now use 'D' (for deletion) and 'T' (for
type-change) to match "git status -s" and "git diff --name-status".
* You could make "git commit" segfault by giving the "--no-message"
option.
* "git checkout -m" did not recreate the conflicted state in a "both
sides added, without any common ancestor version" conflict
situation.
* git native connection going over TCP (not over SSH) did not set
SO_KEEPALIVE option which failed to receive link layer errors.
* "fast-import" did not correctly update an existing notes tree,
possibly corrupting the fan-out.
* "git log --follow" did not honor the rename threshold score given
with the -M option (e.g. "-M50%").
* Authenticated "git push" over dumb HTTP were broken with a recent
change and failed without asking for password when username is
given.
* "git push" to an empty repository over HTTP were broken with a
recent change to the ref handling.
* "git push -v" forgot how to be verbose by mistake. It now properly
becomes verbose when asked to.
* When a "reword" action in "git rebase -i" failed to run "commit --amend",
we did not give the control back to the user to resolve the situation, and
instead kept the original commit log message.
* "git apply --check" did not error out when given an empty input
without any patch.
* "git archive" mistakenly allowed remote clients to ask for commits
that are not at the tip of any ref.
* "git checkout" and "git merge" treated in-tree .gitignore and exclude
file in $GIT_DIR/info/ directory inconsistently when deciding which
untracked files are ignored and expendable.
* The function header pattern for files with "diff=cpp" attribute did
not consider "type *funcname(type param1,..." as the beginning of a
function.
* The error message from "git diff" and "git status" when they fail
to inspect changes in submodules did not report which submodule they
had trouble with.
* "git pack-objects" avoids creating cyclic dependencies among deltas
when seeing a broken packfile that records the same object in both
the deflated form and as a delta.
* Tue Dec 13 2011 [email protected]
- Implement %check via make test
- Update to v1.7.8
New features:
* The date parser now accepts timezone designators that lack minutes
part and also has a colon between "hh:mm".
* The contents of the /etc/mailname file, if exists, is used as the
default value of the hostname part of the committer/author e-mail.
* "git am" learned how to read from patches generated by Hg.
* "git archive" talking with a remote repository can report errors
from the remote side in a more informative way.
* "git branch" learned an explicit --list option to ask for branches
listed, optionally with a glob matching pattern to limit its output.
* "git check-attr" learned "--cached" option to look at .gitattributes
files from the index, not from the working tree.
* Variants of "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" that take multiple
commits learned to "--continue" and "--abort".
* "git daemon" gives more human readble error messages to clients
using ERR packets when appropriate.
* Errors at the network layer is logged by "git daemon".
* "git diff" learned "--minimal" option to spend extra cycles to come
up with a minimal patch output.
* "git diff" learned "--function-context" option to show the whole
function as context that was affected by a change.
* "git difftool" can be told to skip launching the tool for a path by
answering 'n' to its prompt.
* "git fetch" learned to honor transfer.fsckobjects configuration to
validate the objects that were received from the other end, just like
"git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") does.
* "git fetch" makes sure that the set of objects it received from the
other end actually completes the history before updating the refs.
"git receive-pack" (the receiving end of "git push") learned to do the
same.
* "git fetch" learned that fetching/cloning from a regular file on the
filesystem is not necessarily a request to unpack a bundle file; the
file could be ".git" with "gitdir: <path>" in it.
* "git for-each-ref" learned "%(contents:subject)", "%(contents:body)"
and "%(contents:signature)". The last one is useful for signed tags.
* "git grep" used to incorrectly pay attention to .gitignore files
scattered in the directory it was working in even when "--no-index"
option was used. It no longer does this. The "--exclude-standard"
option needs to be given to explicitly activate the ignore
mechanism.
* "git grep" learned "--untracked" option, where given patterns are
searched in untracked (but not ignored) files as well as tracked
files in the working tree, so that matches in new but not yet
added files do not get missed.
* The recursive merge backend no longer looks for meaningless
existing merges in submodules unless in the outermost merge.
* "git log" and friends learned "--children" option.
* "git ls-remote" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.
* "mediawiki" remote helper can interact with (surprise!) MediaWiki
with "git fetch" & "git push".
* "git merge" learned the "--edit" option to allow users to edit the
merge commit log message.
* "git rebase -i" can be told to use special purpose editor suitable
only for its insn sheet via sequence.editor configuration variable.
* "git send-email" learned to respond to "-h"(elp) requests.
* "git send-email" allows the value given to sendemail.aliasfile to begin
with "~/" to refer to the $HOME directory.
* "git send-email" forces use of Authen::SASL::Perl to work around
issues between Authen::SASL::Cyrus and AUTH PLAIN/LOGIN.
* "git stash" learned "--include-untracked" option to stash away
untracked/ignored cruft from the working tree.
* "git submodule clone" does not leak an error message to the UI
level unnecessarily anymore.
* "git submodule update" learned to honor "none" as the value for
submodule.<name>.update to specify that the named submodule should
not be checked out by default.
* When populating a new submodule directory with "git submodule init",
the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside
$GIT_DIR/modules/<name>/ directory of the superproject and referenced
via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch
between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the
submodule in the tree without re-cloning.
* "gitweb" leaked unescaped control characters from syntax hiliter
outputs.
* "gitweb" can be told to give custom string at the end of the HTML
HEAD element.
* "gitweb" now has its own manual pages.
Bugfixes since v1.7.7
* HTTP transport did not use pushurl correctly, and also did not tell
what host it is trying to authenticate with when asking for
credentials.
(merge deba493 jk/http-auth later to maint).
* "git blame" was aborted if started from an uncommitted content and
the path had the textconv filter in effect.
(merge 8518088 ss/blame-textconv-fake-working-tree later to maint).
* Adding many refs to the local repository in one go (e.g. "git fetch"
that fetches many tags) and looking up a ref by name in a repository
with too many refs were unnecessarily slow.
(merge 17d68a54d jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted later to maint).
* Report from "git commit" on untracked files was confused under
core.ignorecase option.
(merge 395c7356 jk/name-hash-dirent later to maint).
* "git merge" did not understand ":/<pattern>" as a way to name a commit.
" "git push" on the receiving end used to call post-receive and post-update
hooks for attempted removal of non-existing refs.
(merge 160b81ed ph/push-to-delete-nothing later to maint).
* Help text for "git remote set-url" and "git remote set-branches"
were misspelled.
(merge c49904e fc/remote-seturl-usage-fix later to maint).
(merge 656cdf0 jc/remote-setbranches-usage-fix later to maint).

Notes on behaviour change:
* "git push" into a branch that is currently checked out (i.e. pointed at by
HEAD in a repository that is not bare) is refused by default.
* "git send-email" does not make deep threads by default when sending a
patch series with more than two messages. All messages will be sent
as a reply to the first message, i.e. cover letter.
* "git status" is not "git commit --dry-run" anymore. This change does
not affect you if you run the command without argument.
* "git diff" traditionally treated various "ignore whitespace" options
only as a way to filter the patch output. "git diff --exit-code -b"
exited with non-zero status even if all changes were about changing the
amount of whitespace and nothing else; and "git diff -b" showed the
"diff --git" header line for such a change without patch text.
* External diff and textconv helpers are now executed using the shell.
This makes them consistent with other programs executed by git, and
allows you to pass command-line parameters to the helpers. Any helper
paths containing spaces or other metacharacters now need to be
shell-quoted. The affected helpers are GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF in the
environment, and diff.*.command and diff.*.textconv in the config
file.
* The --max-pack-size argument to 'git repack', 'git pack-objects', and
'git fast-import' was assuming the provided size to be expressed in MiB,
unlike the corresponding config variable and other similar options accepting
a size value. It is now expecting a size expressed in bytes, with a possible
unit suffix of 'k', 'm', or 'g'.
- added git-remote-helpers sub-package for python helpers
* Thu Jan 21 2010 [email protected]

- updated to 1.6.3.1:
* fix regression of "git checkout -b new-branch"
- updated to 1.6.3.2:
* fixes for gcc4.4 builds and others. See below for details
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/RelNotes-1.6.3.2.txt
* Fri May 08 2009 [email protected]
- updated to 1.6.3:
* major version update: git push behavior change,
With the next major release, "git push" into a branch that is
currently checked out will be refused by default. You can
choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
configuration
* Detailed changelog found at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/RelNotes-1.6.3.txt
* Mon Apr 20 2009 [email protected]
- updated to 1.6.2.4:
* The configuration parser had a buffer overflow while parsing
an overlong value.
* pruning reflog entries that are unreachable from the tip of
the ref during "git reflog prune" (hence "git gc") was very
inefficient.
* "git-add -p" lacked a way to say "q"uit to refuse staging any
hunks for the remaining paths. You had to say "d" and then ^C.
* "git-checkout <tree-ish> <submodule>" did not update the index
entry at the named path; it now does.
* "git-fast-export" choked when seeing a tag that does not point
at commit.
* "git init" segfaulted when given an overlong template location
via the --template= option.
* "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly
when deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not
match the individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs
"abc/d ab" to match "abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to
descend into the directory "abc/", and then "ab" incorrectly
matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't).
* "git-merge-recursive" was broken when a submodule entry was
involved in a criss-cross merge situation.
* Thu Apr 16 2009 [email protected]
- updated to 1.6.2.2:
* A longstanding confusing description of what --pickaxe option
of git-diff does has been clarified in the documentation.
* "git-blame -S" did not quite work near the commits that were
given on the command line correctly.
* "git diff --pickaxe-regexp" did not count overlapping matches
correctly.
* "git diff" did not feed files in work-tree representation to
external diff and textconv.
* "git-fetch" in a repository that was not cloned from anywhere
said it cannot find 'origin', which was hard to understand for
new people.
* "git-format-patch --numbered-files --stdout" did not have to
die of incompatible options; it now simply ignores
- -numbered-files as no files are produced anyway.
* "git-ls-files --deleted" did not work well with GIT_DIR&GIT_WORK_TREE.
* "git-read-tree A B C..." without -m option has been broken for
a long time.
* git-send-email ignored --in-reply-to when --no-thread was given.
* 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in
the path it accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient.
* git-svn misbehaved when the project contained a path that began
with two dashes.
* import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common
directory prefix correctly.
* miscompilation of negated enum constants by old gcc (2.9)
affected the codepaths to spawn subprocesses.
- updated to 1.6.2.3:
* Setting an octal mode value to core.sharedrepository
configuration to restrict access to the repository to group
members did not work as advertised.
* A fairly large and trivial memory leak while rev-list shows
list of reachable objects has been identified and plugged.
* "git-commit --interactive" did not abort when underlying
"git-add -i" signaled a failure.
* git-repack (invoked from git-gc) did not work as nicely as it
should in a repository that borrows objects from neighbours
via alternates mechanism especially when some packs are marked
with the ".keep" flag to prevent them from being repacked.
- fix the start-check in git-daemon script (bnc#494824)
* Mon Mar 16 2009 [email protected]
- updated to 1.6.2.1:
* .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism
for comment introduction character "#".
* timestamp output in --date=relative mode used to display
timestamps that are long time ago in the default mode
* git-add -i/-p now works with non-ASCII pathnames.
* "git hash-object -w" did not read from the configuration file
from the correct .git directory.
* git-send-email learned to correctly handle multiple Cc:
addresses.
* Thu Mar 05 2009 [email protected]
- updated to 1.6.2:
* @{-1} is a way to refer to the last branch you were on.
* The location of .mailmap file can be configured
* Improvements on "git add -p"
* Improvements on "git am" behavior and options
* "git blame" aligns author names better
* "git clone" now makes its best effort when cloning from an
empty repository
* "git checkout -" is a shorthand for "git checkout @{-1}".
* "git cherry" defaults to whatever the current branch is
tracking (if exists) when the <upstream> argument is not given.
* "git cvsserver" fixes / improvements
* New options for "git diff"
* New options for "git filter-branch"
* "git fsck" now checks loose objects in alternate object
stores
* "git gc --prune" was resurrected to allow "git gc --no-prune"
* New option for "git mergetool"
* "git rebase -i" can transplant a history down to root
* "git reset --merge" option
* "git submodule update" learned --no-fetch option.
* "git tag" learned --contains
For more details, see
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/RelNotes-1.6.2.txt
* Mon Feb 09 2009 [email protected]
- updated to 1.6.1.3:
* "git diff --binary | git apply" pipeline did not work well
when a binary blob is changed to a symbolic link.
* some combinations of -b/-w/--ignore-space-at-eol to "git diff"
did not work as expected.
* "git grep" did not pass the -I (ignore binary) option when
calling out an external grep program.
* "git log" and friends include HEAD to the set of starting
points when --all is given. This makes a difference when you
are not on any branch.
* "git mv" to move an untracked file to overwrite a tracked
contents misbehaved.
* "git merge -s octopus" with many potential merge bases did not
work correctly.
* RPM binary package installed the html manpages in a wrong
place.
Also includes minor documentation fixes and updates.
* Thu Jan 29 2009 [email protected]
- Formatting fix for manual pages.
* Thu Jan 29 2009 [email protected]
- updated to 1.6.1.2:
* The logic for rename detectin in internal diff used by commands
like "git diff" and "git blame" have been optimized to avoid
loading the same blob repeatedly.
* We did not allow writing out a blob that is larger than 2GB
for no good reason.
* "git format-patch -o $dir", when $dir is a relative directory,
used it as relative to the root of the work tree, not relative
to the current directory.
* v1.6.1 introduced an optimization for "git push" into a
repository (A) that borrows its objects from another
repository (B) to avoid sending objects that are available in
repository B, when they are not yet used by repository A.
However the code on the "git push" sender side was buggy and
did not work when repository B had new objects that are not
known by the sender. This caused pushing into a "forked"
repository served by v1.6.1 software using "git push" from
v1.6.1 sometimes did not work. The bug was purely on the
"git push" sender side, and has been corrected.
* "git status -v" did not paint its diff output in colour even
when color.ui configuration was set.
* "git ls-tree" learned --full-tree option to help Porcelain
scripts that want to always see the full path regardless of the
current working directory.
* "git grep" incorrectly searched in work tree paths even when
they are marked as assume-unchanged. It now searches in the
index entries.
* "git gc" with no grace period needlessly ejected packed but
unreachable objects in their loose form, only to delete them
right away.
* Mon Jan 26 2009 [email protected]
- updated to 1.6.1.1:
* "git add frotz/nitfol" when "frotz" is a submodule should have
errored out, but it didn't.
* "git apply" took file modes from the patch text and updated
the mode bits of the target tree even when the patch was not
about mode changes.
* "git bisect view" on Cygwin did not launch gitk
* "git checkout $tree" did not trigger an error.
* "git commit" tried to remove COMMIT_EDITMSG from the work tree
by mistake.
* "git describe --all" complained when a commit is described
with a tag, which was nonsense.
* "git diff --no-index --" did not trigger no-index (aka "use
git-diff as a replacement of diff on untracked files") behaviour.
* "git format-patch -1 HEAD" on a root commit failed to produce
patch text.
* "git fsck branch" did not work as advertised; instead it
behaved the same way as "git fsck".
* "git log --pretty=format:%s" did not handle a multi-line
subject the same way as built-in log listers (i.e. shortlog,
- -pretty=oneline, etc.)
* "git daemon", and "git merge-file" are more careful when freopen
fails and barf, instead of going on and writing to unopened
filehandle.
* "git http-push" did not like some RFC 4918 compliant DAV server
responses.
* "git merge -s recursive" mistakenly overwritten an untracked
file in the work tree upon delete/modify conflict.
* "git merge -s recursive" didn't leave the index unmerged for
entries with rename/delete conflictd.
* "git merge -s recursive" clobbered untracked files in the work
tree.
* "git mv -k" with more than one errorneous paths misbehaved.
* "git read-tree -m -u" hence branch switching incorrectly lost
a subdirectory in rare cases.
* "git rebase -i" issued an unnecessary error message upon a user
error of marking the first commit to be "squash"ed.
* "git shortlog" did not format a commit message with multi-line
subject correctly.
* Thu Jan 08 2009 [email protected]
- updated to 1.6.1:

* Tue Jan 08 2008 [email protected]
- Update to version 1.5.3.8.
* Some documentation used "email.com" as an example domain.
* git-svn fix to handle funky branch and project names going over
http/https correctly.
* git-svn fix to tone down a needlessly alarming warning message.
* git-clone did not correctly report errors while fetching over http.
* git-send-email added redundant Message-Id: header to the outgoing
e-mail when the patch text already had one.
* a read-beyond-end-of-buffer bug in configuration file updater was fixed.
* git-grep used to show the same hit repeatedly for unmerged paths.
* After amending the patch title in "git-am -i", the command did not
report the patch it applied with the updated title.
* Tue Jan 08 2008 [email protected]
- git-cvsserver was unusable, it produced a perl failed-compilation error
due to missing dependency on perl-DBD-Sqlite.
- update to version 1.5.3.7
* git-send-email added 8-bit contents to the payload without
marking it as 8-bit in a CTE header.
* "git-bundle create a.bndl HEAD" dereferenced the symref and
did not record the ref as 'HEAD'; this prevented a bundle
from being used as a normal source of git-clone.
* The code to reject nonsense command line of the form
"git-commit -a paths..." and "git-commit --interactive
paths..." were broken.
* Adding a signature that is not ASCII-only to an original
commit that is ASCII-only would make the result non-ASCII.
"git-format-patch -s" did not mark such a message correctly
with MIME encoding header.
* git-add sometimes did not mark the resulting index entry
stat-clean. This affected only cases when adding the
contents with the same length as the previously staged
contents, and the previous staging made the index entry
"racily clean".
* git-commit did not honor GIT_INDEX_FILE the user had in the
environment.
* When checking out a revision, git-checkout did not report where the
updated HEAD is if you happened to have a file called HEAD in the
work tree.
* "git-rev-list --objects" mishandled a tree that points at a
submodule.
* "git cvsimport" was not ready for packed refs that "git gc" can
produce and gave incorrect results.
* Many scripted Porcelains were confused when you happened to have a
file called "HEAD" in your work tree.
* Wed Nov 28 2007 [email protected]

file "xyzzy/filfre", while the other one has a file
"frotz/filfre".
* "git prune" used to segfault upon seeing a commit that is
referred to by a tree object (aka "subproject").
* "git diff --name-status --no-index" mishandled an added file.
* "git apply --reverse --whitespace=warn" still complained
about whitespaces that a forward application would have
introduced.
