Relative to Git 2.42, this +release contains the fixes that have already been merged to the +'master' branch of the development towards Git 2.43 that has been +tagged as Git 2.43.0-rc0. + +Fixes since Git 2.42.0 +---------------------- + + * Tests that are known to pass with LSan are now marked as such. + + * Flaky "git p4" tests, as well as "git svn" tests, are now skipped + in the (rather expensive) sanitizer CI job. + + * Tests with LSan from time to time seem to emit harmless message + that makes our tests unnecessarily flaky; we work it around by + filtering the uninteresting output. + + * GitHub CI workflow has learned to trigger Coverity check. + + * Overly long label names used in the sequencer machinery are now + chopped to fit under filesystem limitation. + + * Scalar updates. + + * Tweak GitHub Actions CI so that pushing the same commit to multiple + branch tips at the same time will not waste building and testing + the same thing twice. + + * The commit-graph verification code that detects mixture of zero and + non-zero generation numbers has been updated. + + * "git diff -w --exit-code" with various options did not work + correctly, which is being addressed. + + * transfer.unpackLimit ought to be used as a fallback, but overrode + fetch.unpackLimit and receive.unpackLimit instead. + + * The use of API between two calls to require_clean_work_tree() from + the sequencer code has been cleaned up for consistency. + + * "git diff --no-such-option" and other corner cases around the exit + status of the "diff" command has been corrected. + + * "git for-each-ref --sort='contents:size'" sorts the refs according + to size numerically, giving a ref that points at a blob twelve-byte + (12) long before showing a blob hundred-byte (100) long. + + * Various fixes to the behavior of "rebase -i" when the command got + interrupted by conflicting changes. + + * References from description of the `--patch` option in various + manual pages have been simplified and improved. + + * "git grep -e A --no-or -e B" is accepted, even though the negation + of "or" did not mean anything, which has been tightened. + + * The completion script (in contrib/) has been taught to treat the + "-t" option to "git checkout" and "git switch" just like the + "--track" option, to complete remote-tracking branches. + + * "git diff --no-index -R <(one) <(two)" did not work correctly, + which has been corrected. + + * Update "git maintenance" timers' implementation based on systemd + timers to work with WSL. + + * "git diff --cached" codepath did not fill the necessary stat + information for a file when fsmonitor knows it is clean and ended + up behaving as if it is not clean, which has been corrected. + + * Clarify how "alias.foo = : git cmd ; aliased-command-string" should + be spelled with necessary whitespaces around punctuation marks to + work. + + * HTTP Header redaction code has been adjusted for a newer version of + cURL library that shows its traces differently from earlier + versions. + + * An error message given by "git send-email" when given a malformed + address did not give correct information, which has been corrected. + + * UBSan options were not propagated through the test framework to git + run via the httpd, unlike ASan options, which has been corrected. + +Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups. |
