Git v2.19.2 Release Notes ========================= Fixes since v2.19.1 ------------------- * "git interpret-trailers" and its underlying machinery had a buggy code that attempted to ignore patch text after commit log message, which triggered in various codepaths that will always get the log message alone and never get such an input. * "git rebase -i" did not clear the state files correctly when a run of "squash/fixup" is aborted and then the user manually amended the commit instead, which has been corrected. * When fsmonitor is in use, after operation on submodules updates .gitmodules, we lost track of the fact that we did so and relied on stale fsmonitor data. * Fix for a long-standing bug that leaves the index file corrupt when it shrinks during a partial commit. * Further fix for O_APPEND emulation on Windows * A corner case bugfix in "git rerere" code. * "git add ':(attr:foo)'" is not supported and is supposed to be rejected while the command line arguments are parsed, but we fail to reject such a command line upfront. * "git rebase" etc. in Git 2.19 fails to abort when given an empty commit log message as result of editing, which has been corrected. * The code to backfill objects in lazily cloned repository did not work correctly, which has been corrected. * Update error messages given by "git remote" and make them consistent. * "git update-ref" learned to make both "--no-deref" and "--stdin" work at the same time. * Recently added "range-diff" had a corner-case bug to cause it segfault, which has been corrected. * The recently introduced commit-graph auxiliary data is incompatible with mechanisms such as replace & grafts that "breaks" immutable nature of the object reference relationship. Disable optimizations based on its use (and updating existing commit-graph) when these incompatible features are in use in the repository. * The mailmap file update. * The code in "git status" sometimes hit an assertion failure. This was caused by a structure that was reused without cleaning the data used for the first run, which has been corrected. * A corner-case bugfix. * A partial clone that is configured to lazily fetch missing objects will on-demand issue a "git fetch" request to the originating repository to fill not-yet-obtained objects. The request has been optimized for requesting a tree object (and not the leaf blob objects contained in it) by telling the originating repository that no blobs are needed. * The codepath to support the experimental split-index mode had remaining "racily clean" issues fixed. * "git log --graph" showing an octopus merge sometimes miscounted the number of display columns it is consuming to show the merge and its parent commits, which has been corrected. * The implementation of run_command() API on the UNIX platforms had a bug that caused a command not on $PATH to be found in the current directory. * A mutex used in "git pack-objects" were not correctly initialized and this caused "git repack" to dump core on Windows. * Under certain circumstances, "git diff D:/a/b/c D:/a/b/d" on Windows would strip initial parts from the paths because they were not recognized as absolute, which has been corrected. * The receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead codepath kicked in even when the push should have been rejected due to other reasons, such as it does not fast-forward or the update-hook rejects it, which has been corrected. * "git repack" in a shallow clone did not correctly update the shallow points in the repository, leading to a repository that does not pass fsck. * Operations on promisor objects make sense in the context of only a small subset of the commands that internally use the revisions machinery, but the "--exclude-promisor-objects" option were taken and led to nonsense results by commands like "log", to which it didn't make much sense. This has been corrected. * The "container" mode of TravisCI is going away. Our .travis.yml file is getting prepared for the transition. * Our test scripts can now take the '-V' option as a synonym for the '--verbose-log' option. * A regression in Git 2.12 era made "git fsck" fall into an infinite loop while processing truncated loose objects. Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
