1Git v2.3 Release Notes 2====================== 3 4Updates since v2.2 5------------------ 6 7Ports 8 9 * 10 11UI, Workflows & Features 12 13 * It was cumbersome to use "GIT_SSH" mechanism when the user wanted 14 to pass an extra set of arguments to the underlying ssh. A new 15 environment variable GIT_SSH_COMMAND can be used for this. 16 17 * A request to store an empty note via "git notes" meant to remove 18 note from the object but with --allow-empty we will store a 19 (surprise!) note that is empty. 20 21 22Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. 23 24 * 25 26 27Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. 28 29 30Fixes since v2.2 31---------------- 32 33Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.2 in the maintenance 34track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' 35notes for details). 36 37 * "git checkout $treeish $path", when $path in the index and the 38 working tree already matched what is in $treeish at the $path, 39 still overwrote the $path unnecessarily. 40 (merge c5326bd jk/checkout-from-tree later to maint). 41 42 * open() emulated on Windows platforms did not give EISDIR upon 43 an attempt to open a directory for writing. 44 (merge ba6fad0 js/windows-open-eisdir-error later to maint). 45 46 * A few code paths used abs() when they should have used labs() on 47 long integers. 48 (merge 83915ba rs/maint-config-use-labs later to maint). 49 (merge 31a8aa1 rs/receive-pack-use-labs later to maint). 50 51 * "gitweb" used to depend on a behaviour recent CGI.pm deprecated. 52 (merge 13dbf46 jk/gitweb-with-newer-cgi-multi-param later to maint). 53 54 * "git init" (hence "git clone") initialized the per-repository 55 configuration file .git/config with x-bit by mistake. 56 (merge 1f32ecf mh/config-flip-xbit-back-after-checking later to maint).
