1Git v2.13.1 Release Notes 2========================= 3 4Fixes since v2.13 5----------------- 6 7 * The Web interface to gmane news archive is long gone, even though 8 the articles are still accessible via NTTP. Replace the links with 9 ones to public-inbox.org. Because their message identification is 10 based on the actual message-id, it is likely that it will be easier 11 to migrate away from it if/when necessary. 12 13 * Update tests to pass under GETTEXT_POISON (a mechanism to ensure 14 that output strings that should not be translated are not 15 translated by mistake), and tell TravisCI to run them. 16 17 * Setting "log.decorate=false" in the configuration file did not take 18 effect in v2.13, which has been corrected. 19 20 * An earlier update to test 7400 needed to be skipped on CYGWIN. 21 22 * Git sometimes gives an advice in a rhetorical question that does 23 not require an answer, which can confuse new users and non native 24 speakers. Attempt to rephrase them. 25 26 * "git read-tree -m" (no tree-ish) gave a nonsense suggestion "use 27 --empty if you want to clear the index". With "-m", such a request 28 will still fail anyway, as you'd need to name at least one tree-ish 29 to be merged. 30 31 * The codepath in "git am" that is used when running "git rebase" 32 leaked memory held for the log message of the commits being rebased. 33 34 * "pack-objects" can stream a slice of an existing packfile out when 35 the pack bitmap can tell that the reachable objects are all needed 36 in the output, without inspecting individual objects. This 37 strategy however would not work well when "--local" and other 38 options are in use, and need to be disabled. 39 40 * Clarify documentation for include.path and includeIf.<condition>.path 41 configuration variables. 42 43 * Tag objects, which are not reachable from any ref, that point at 44 missing objects were mishandled by "git gc" and friends (they 45 should silently be ignored instead) 46 47 * A few http:// links that are redirected to https:// in the 48 documentation have been updated to https:// links. 49 50 * Make sure our tests would pass when the sources are checked out 51 with "platform native" line ending convention by default on 52 Windows. Some "text" files out tests use and the test scripts 53 themselves that are meant to be run with /bin/sh, ought to be 54 checked out with eol=LF even on Windows. 55 56 * Fix memory leaks pointed out by Coverity (and people). 57 58 * The receive-pack program now makes sure that the push certificate 59 records the same set of push options used for pushing. 60 61 * "git cherry-pick" and other uses of the sequencer machinery 62 mishandled a trailer block whose last line is an incomplete line. 63 This has been fixed so that an additional sign-off etc. are added 64 after completing the existing incomplete line. 65 66 * The shell completion script (in contrib/) learned "git stash" has 67 a new "push" subcommand. 68 69Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
