   1Git v2.9.3 Release Notes
   2========================

   4Fixes since v2.9.2
   5------------------
   6
   7 * A helper function that takes the contents of a commit object and
   8   finds its subject line did not ignore leading blank lines, as is
   9   commonly done by other codepaths.  Make it ignore leading blank
  10   lines to match.
  11
  12 * Git does not know what the contents in the index should be for a
  13   path added with "git add -N" yet, so "git grep --cached" should not
  14   show hits (or show lack of hits, with -L) in such a path, but that
  15   logic does not apply to "git grep", i.e. searching in the working
  16   tree files.  But we did so by mistake, which has been corrected.
  17
  18 * "git rebase -i --autostash" did not restore the auto-stashed change
  19   when the operation was aborted.
  20
  21 * "git commit --amend --allow-empty-message -S" for a commit without
  22   any message body could have misidentified where the header of the
  23   commit object ends.
  24
  25 * More mark-up updates to typeset strings that are expected to
  26   literally typed by the end user in fixed-width font.
  27
  28 * For a long time, we carried an in-code comment that said our
  29   colored output would work only when we use fprintf/fputs on
  30   Windows, which no longer is the case for the past few years.
  31
  32 * "gc.autoPackLimit" when set to 1 should not trigger a repacking
  33   when there is only one pack, but the code counted poorly and did
  34   so.
  35
  36 * One part of "git am" had an oddball helper function that called
  37   stuff from outside "his" as opposed to calling what we have "ours",
  38   which was not gender-neutral and also inconsistent with the rest of
  39   the system where outside stuff is usuall called "theirs" in
  40   contrast to "ours".
  41
  42 * The test framework learned a new helper test_match_signal to
  43   check an exit code from getting killed by an expected signal.
  44
  45 * "git blame -M" missed a single line that was moved within the file.
  46
  47 * Fix recently introduced codepaths that are involved in parallel
  48   submodule operations, which gave up on reading too early, and
  49   could have wasted CPU while attempting to write under a corner
  50   case condition.
  51
  52 * "git grep -i" has been taught to fold case in non-ascii locales
  53   correctly.
  54
  55 * A test that unconditionally used "mktemp" learned that the command
  56   is not necessarily available everywhere.

  58Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
