1Git v2.10.2 Release Notes 2========================= 3 4Fixes since v2.10.1 5------------------- 6 7 * The code that parses the format parameter of for-each-ref command 8 has seen a micro-optimization. 9 10 * The "graph" API used in "git log --graph" miscounted the number of 11 output columns consumed so far when drawing a padding line, which 12 has been fixed; this did not affect any existing code as nobody 13 tried to write anything after the padding on such a line, though. 14 15 * Almost everybody uses DEFAULT_ABBREV to refer to the default 16 setting for the abbreviation, but "git blame" peeked into 17 underlying variable bypassing the macro for no good reason. 18 19 * Doc update to clarify what "log -3 --reverse" does. 20 21 * An author name, that spelled a backslash-quoted double quote in the 22 human readable part "My \"double quoted\" name", was not unquoted 23 correctly while applying a patch from a piece of e-mail. 24 25 * The original command line syntax for "git merge", which was "git 26 merge <msg> HEAD <parent>...", has been deprecated for quite some 27 time, and "git gui" was the last in-tree user of the syntax. This 28 is finally fixed, so that we can move forward with the deprecation. 29 30 * Codepaths that read from an on-disk loose object were too loose in 31 validating what they are reading is a proper object file and 32 sometimes read past the data they read from the disk, which has 33 been corrected. H/t to Gustavo Grieco for reporting. 34 35 * "git worktree", even though it used the default_abbrev setting that 36 ought to be affected by core.abbrev configuration variable, ignored 37 the variable setting. The command has been taught to read the 38 default set of configuration variables to correct this. 39 40 * A low-level function verify_packfile() was meant to show errors 41 that were detected without dying itself, but under some conditions 42 it didn't and died instead, which has been fixed. 43 44 45Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
