We probably want a clean-up to move the long shell + script embedded in yaml file into a separate file, but that can + come later. + + * Avoid unnecessary builds in CI, with settings configured in + ci-config. + + * Redefining system functions for a few functions did not follow our + usual "implement git_foo() and #define foo(args) git_foo(args)" + pattern, which has broken build for some folks. + + * Deal with a few deprecation warning from cURL library. + + * Newer regex library macOS stopped enabling GNU-like enhanced BRE, + where '\(A\|B\)' works as alternation, unless explicitly asked with + the REG_ENHANCED flag. "git grep" now can be compiled to do so, to + retain the old behaviour. + + * When given a pattern that matches an empty string at the end of a + line, the code to parse the "git diff" line-ranges fell into an + infinite loop, which has been corrected. + + * Fix the sequence to fsync $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file that forgot to + flush its output to the disk.. + + * "git diff --relative" did not mix well with "git diff --ext-diff", + which has been corrected. + + * The logic to see if we are using the "cone" mode by checking the + sparsity patterns has been tightened to avoid mistaking a pattern + that names a single file as specifying a cone. + + * Doc update for environment variables set when hooks are invoked. + + * Document ORIG_HEAD a bit more. + + * "git ls-tree --format='%(path) %(path)' $tree $path" showed the + path three times, which has been corrected. + + * Document that "branch -f <branch>" disables only the safety to + avoid recreating an existing branch. + + * Clarify how "checkout -b/-B" and "git branch [-f]" are similar but + different in the documentation. + +Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
