UI, Workflows & Features
- *
+ * Various updates to "git p4".
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
notes for details).
+ * We often decide if a session is interactive by checking if the
+ standard I/O streams are connected to a TTY, but isatty() that
+ comes with Windows incorrectly returned true if it is used on NUL
+ (i.e. an equivalent to /dev/null). This has been fixed.
+ (merge cbb3f3c9b1 js/mingw-isatty later to maint).
+
+ * "git svn" did not work well with path components that are "0", and
+ some configuration variable it uses were not documented.
+ (merge ea9a93dcc2 ew/svn-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * "git rev-parse --symbolic" failed with a more recent notation like
+ "HEAD^-1" and "HEAD^!".
+ (merge a2e7b04c44 jk/rev-parse-symbolic-parents-fix later to maint).
+
+ * An empty directory in a working tree that can simply be nuked used
+ to interfere while merging or cherry-picking a change to create a
+ submodule directory there, which has been fixed..
+ (merge 5423d2e700 dt/empty-submodule-in-merge later to maint).
+
+ * The code in "git push" to compute if any commit being pushed in the
+ superproject binds a commit in a submodule that hasn't been pushed
+ out was overly inefficient, making it unusable even for a small
+ project that does not have any submodule but have a reasonable
+ number of refs.
+ (merge 250ab24ab3 hv/submodule-not-yet-pushed-fix later to maint).
+
+ * "git push --dry-run --recurse-submodule=on-demand" wasn't
+ "--dry-run" in the submodules.
+ (merge 0301c821c5 bw/push-dry-run later to maint).
+
+ * The output from "git worktree list" was made in readdir() order,
+ and was unstable.
+ (merge 4df1d4d466 nd/worktree-list-fixup later to maint).
+
+ * mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode configuration variable did not apply
+ to built-in tools, but now it does.
+ (merge 2967284456 da/mergetool-trust-exit-code later to maint).
+
+ * "git p4" LFS support was broken when LFS stores an empty blob.
+ (merge d5eb3cf5e7 ls/p4-empty-file-on-lfs later to maint).
+
* Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
+ (merge fa6ca11105 nd/qsort-in-merge-recursive later to maint).
+ (merge fa3142c919 ak/lazy-prereq-mktemp later to maint).
