We no longer warn because the + transition was completed a long time ago. + + * README has been renamed to README.md and its contents got tweaked + slightly to make it easier on the eyes. + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. + + * Add a framework to spawn a group of processes in parallel, and use + it to run "git fetch --recurse-submodules" in parallel. + + * A slight update to the Makefile to mark ".PHONY" targets as such + correctly. + + * In-core storage of the reverse index for .pack files (which lets + you go from a pack offset to an object name) has been streamlined. + + * d95138e6 (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like + $GIT_DIR, 2015-06-26) attempted to work around a glitch in alias + handling by overwriting GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable to + affect subprocesses when set_git_work_tree() gets called, which + resulted in a rather unpleasant regression to "clone" and "init". + Try to address the same issue by always restoring the environment + and respawning the real underlying command when handling alias. + + * The low-level code that is used to create symbolic references has + been updated to share more code with the code that deals with + normal references. + + * strbuf_getline() and friends have been redefined to make it easier + to identify which callsite of (new) strbuf_getline_lf() should + allow and silently ignore carriage-return at the end of the line to + help users on DOSsy systems. + + * "git shortlog" used to accumulate various pieces of information + regardless of what was asked to be shown in the final output. It + has been optimized by noticing what need not to be collected + (e.g. there is no need to collect the log messages when showing + only the number of changes). + + * "git checkout $branch" (and other operations that share the same + underlying machinery) has been optimized. + + * Automated tests in Travis CI environment has been optimized by + persisting runtime statistics of previous "prove" run, executing + tests that take longer before other ones; this reduces the total + wallclock time. + + * Test scripts have been updated to remove assumptions that are not + portable between Git for POSIX and Git for Windows, or to skip ones + with expectations that are not satisfiable on Git for Windows. + + * Some calls to strcpy(3) triggers a false warning from static + analyzers that are less intelligent than humans, and reducing the + number of these false hits helps us notice real issues. A few + calls to strcpy(3) in a couple of protrams that are already safe + has been rewritten to avoid false warnings. + + * The "name_path" API was an attempt to reduce the need to construct + the full path out of a series of path components while walking a + tree hierarchy, but over time made less efficient because the path + needs to be flattened, e.g. to be compared with another path that + is already flat.

The traditional tests have been renamed + to use "work-tree" instead in an attempt to differentiate them. + (merge 5549029 mg/work-tree-tests later to maint). + + * Many codepaths forget to check return value from git_config_set(); + the function is made to die() to make sure we do not proceed when + setting a configuration variable failed. + (merge 3d18064 ps/config-error later to maint). + + * Handling of errors while writing into our internal asynchronous + process has been made more robust, which reduces flakiness in our + tests. + (merge 43f3afc jk/epipe-in-async later to maint). + + * There is a new DEVELOPER knob that enables many compiler warning + options in the Makefile. + + * The way the test scripts configure the Apache web server has been + updated to work also for Apache 2.4 running on RedHat derived + distros. + + * Out of maintenance gcc on OSX 10.6 fails to compile the code in + 'master'; work it around by using clang by default on the platform. + + * The "name_path" API was an attempt to reduce the need to construct + the full path out of a series of path components while walking a + tree hierarchy, but over time made less efficient because the path + needs to be flattened, e.g. to be compared with another path that + is already flat, in many cases. The API has been removed and its + users have been rewritten to simplify the overall code complexity. + This incidentally also closes some heap-corruption holes. + + * Recent versions of GNU grep is pickier than before to decide if a + file is "binary" and refuse to give line-oriented hits when we + expect it to, unless explicitly told with "-a" option. As our + scripted Porcelains use sane_grep wrapper for line-oriented data, + even when the line may contain non-ASCII payload we took from + end-user data, use "grep -a" to implement sane_grep wrapper when + using an implementation of "grep" that takes the "-a" option. + + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v2.7 +---------------- + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.7 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' +notes for details). + + * An earlier change in 2.5.x-era broke users' hooks and aliases by + exporting GIT_WORK_TREE to point at the root of the working tree, + interfering when they tried to use a different working tree without + setting GIT_WORK_TREE environment themselves. + + * The "exclude_list" structure has the usual "alloc, nr" pair of + fields to be used by ALLOC_GROW(), but clear_exclude_list() forgot + to reset 'alloc' to 0 when it cleared 'nr' to discard the managed + array. + + * Paths that have been told the index about with "add -N" are not + quite yet in the index, but a few commands behaved as if they + already are in a harmful way. + + * "git send-email" was confused by escaped quotes stored in the alias + files saved by "mutt", which has been corrected. + + * A few non-portable C construct have been spotted by clang compiler + and have been fixed. + + * The documentation has been updated to hint the connection between + the '--signoff' option and DCO. + + * "git reflog" incorrectly assumed that all objects that used to be + at the tip of a ref must be commits, which caused it to segfault. + + * The ignore mechanism saw a few regressions around untracked file + listing and sparse checkout selection areas in 2.7.0; the change + that is responsible for the regression has been reverted. + + * Some codepaths used fopen(3) when opening a fixed path in $GIT_DIR + (e.g. COMMIT_EDITMSG) that is meant to be left after the command is + done. This however did not work well if the repository is set to + be shared with core.sharedRepository and the umask of the previous + user is tighter. They have been made to work better by calling + unlink(2) and retrying after fopen(3) fails with EPERM. + + * Asking gitweb for a nonexistent commit left a warning in the server + log. + + Somebody may want to follow this up with an additional test, perhaps? + IIRC, we do test that no Perl warnings are given to the server log, + so this should have been caught if our test coverage were good. + + * "git rebase", unlike all other callers of "gc --auto", did not + ignore the exit code from "gc --auto". + + * Many codepaths that run "gc --auto" before exiting kept packfiles + mapped and left the file descriptors to them open, which was not + friendly to systems that cannot remove files that are open. They + now close the packs before doing so. + + * A recent optimization to filter-branch in v2.7.0 introduced a + regression when --prune-empty filter is used, which has been + corrected. + + * The description for SANITY prerequisite the test suite uses has + been clarified both in the comment and in the implementation. + + * "git tag" started listing a tag "foo" as "tags/foo" when a branch + named "foo" exists in the same repository; remove this unnecessary + disambiguation, which is a regression introduced in v2.7.0. + + * The way "git svn" uses auth parameter was broken by Subversion + 1.9.0 and later. + + * The "split" subcommand of "git subtree" (in contrib/) incorrectly + skipped merges when it shouldn't, which was corrected. + + * A few options of "git diff" did not work well when the command was + run from a subdirectory. + + * The command line completion learned a handful of additional options + and command specific syntax. + + * dirname() emulation has been added, as Msys2 lacks it. + + * The underlying machinery used by "ls-files -o" and other commands + has been taught not to create empty submodule ref cache for a + directory that is not a submodule. This removes a ton of wasted + CPU cycles. + + * "git worktree" had a broken code that attempted to auto-fix + possible inconsistency that results from end-users moving a + worktree to different places without telling Git (the original + repository needs to maintain back-pointers to its worktrees, + but "mv" run by end-users who are not familiar with that fact + will obviously not adjust them), which actually made things + worse when triggered. + + * The low-level merge machinery has been taught to use CRLF line + termination when inserting conflict markers to merged contents that + are themselves CRLF line-terminated. + + * "git push --force-with-lease" has been taught to report if the push + needed to force (or fast-forwarded). + + * The emulated "yes" command used in our test scripts has been + tweaked not to spend too much time generating unnecessary output + that is not used, to help those who test on Windows where it would + not stop until it fills the pipe buffer due to lack of SIGPIPE. + + * The documentation for "git clean" has been corrected; it mentioned + that .git/modules/* are removed by giving two "-f", which has never + been the case. + + * The vimdiff backend for "git mergetool" has been tweaked to arrange + and number buffers in the order that would match the expectation of + majority of people who read left to right, then top down and assign + buffers 1 2 3 4 "mentally" to local base remote merge windows based + on that order. + + * "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. + (merge aac4fac nd/dwim-wildcards-as-pathspecs later to maint). + + * "git rev-parse --git-common-dir" used in the worktree feature + misbehaved when run from a subdirectory. + (merge 17f1365 nd/git-common-dir-fix later to maint). + + * "git worktree add -B <branchname>" did not work. + + * 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. + (merge 708b8cc jc/am-i-v-fix later to maint). + + * "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. + (merge 907681e jk/no-diff-emit-common later to maint). + + * The memory ownership rule of fill_textconv() API, which was a bit + tricky, has been documented a bit better. + (merge a64e6a4 jk/more-comments-on-textconv later to maint). + + * Update various codepaths to avoid manually-counted malloc(). + (merge 08c95df jk/tighten-alloc later to maint). + + * The documentation did not clearly state that the 'simple' mode is + now the default for "git push" when push.default configuration is + not set. + (merge f6b1fb3 mm/push-simple-doc later to maint). + + * Recent versions of GNU grep are pickier when their input contains + arbitrary binary data, which some of our tests uses.
