1Git v2.6.5 Release Notes 2======================== 3 4Fixes since v2.6.4 5------------------ 6 7 * Because "test_when_finished" in our test framework queues the 8 clean-up tasks to be done in a shell variable, it should not be 9 used inside a subshell. Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch 10 such uses, and fix the ones that were found. 11 12 * Update "git subtree" (in contrib/) so that it can take whitespaces 13 in the pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of 14 the directory that the repository is in. 15 16 * Cosmetic improvement to lock-file error messages. 17 18 * mark_tree_uninteresting() has code to handle the case where it gets 19 passed a NULL pointer in its 'tree' parameter, but the function had 20 'object = &tree->object' assignment before checking if tree is 21 NULL. This gives a compiler an excuse to declare that tree will 22 never be NULL and apply a wrong optimization. Avoid it. 23 24 * The helper used to iterate over loose object directories to prune 25 stale objects did not closedir() immediately when it is done with a 26 directory--a callback such as the one used for "git prune" may want 27 to do rmdir(), but it would fail on open directory on platforms 28 such as WinXP. 29 30 * "git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths outside 31 the client spec as empty commits. It has been corrected to ignore 32 them instead, with a new configuration git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a 33 backward compatibility knob. 34 35 * The exit code of git-fsck did not reflect some types of errors 36 found in packed objects, which has been corrected. 37 38Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code 39clean-ups.
