1Git 2.10 Release Notes 2====================== 3 4Backward compatibility notes 5---------------------------- 6 7Updates since v2.9 8------------------ 9 10UI, Workflows & Features 11 12 * "git pull --rebase --verify-signature" learned to warn the user 13 that "--verify-signature" is a no-op when rebasing. 14 15 * An upstream project can make a recommendation to shallowly clone 16 some submodules in the .gitmodules file it ships. 17 18 * "git worktree add" learned that '-' can be used as a short-hand for 19 "@{-1}", the previous branch. 20 21 * Update the funcname definition to support css files. 22 23 24Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. 25 26 * "git fast-import" learned the same performance trick to avoid 27 creating too small a packfile as "git fetch" and "git push" have, 28 using *.unpackLimit configuration. 29 30 * When "git daemon" is run without --[init-]timeout specified, a 31 connection from a client that silently goes offline can hang around 32 for a long time, wasting resources. The socket-level KEEPALIVE has 33 been enabled to allow the OS to notice such failed connections. 34 (merge a43b68a ew/daemon-socket-keepalive later to maint). 35 36 * "git upload-pack" command has been updated to use the parse-options 37 API. 38 39 40Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. 41 42 43Fixes since v2.9 44---------------- 45 46Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.8 in the maintenance 47track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' 48notes for details). 49 50 * The commands in `git log` family take %C(auto) in a custom format 51 string. This unconditionally turned the color on, ignoring 52 --no-color or with --color=auto when the output is not connected to 53 a tty; this was corrected to make the format truly behave as 54 "auto". 55 (merge b15a3e0 et/pretty-format-c-auto later to maint). 56 57 * "git rev-list --count" whose walk-length is limited with "-n" 58 option did not work well with the counting optimized to look at the 59 bitmap index. 60 (merge fb85db8 jk/rev-list-count-with-bitmap later to maint). 61 62 * "git show -W" (extend hunks to cover the entire function, delimited 63 by lines that match the "funcname" pattern) used to show the entire 64 file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file, 65 which has been fixed. 66 (merge 6f8d9bc rs/xdiff-hunk-with-func-line later to maint). 67 68 * Other minor clean-ups and documentation updates
