The hope is that existing + users will not mind this change, and eventually the warning can be + turned into a hard error, upgrading the deprecation into removal of + this (mis)feature. That is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming + release (yet). + + * Git now avoids blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup + sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository. A corner case that + happens to work right now may be broken by a call to die("BUG"). + We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there + might still be cases that need to be addressed--bug reports are + greatly appreciated. + + +Updates since v2.13 +------------------- + +UI, Workflows & Features + + * The colors in which "git status --short --branch" showed the names + of the current branch and its remote-tracking branch are now + configurable. + + * "git clone" learned the "--no-tags" option not to fetch all tags + initially, and also set up the tagopt not to follow any tags in + subsequent fetches. + + * "git archive --format=zip" learned to use zip64 extension when + necessary to go beyond the 4GB limit. + (merge 867e40ff3a rs/large-zip later to maint). + + +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. + + * The default packed-git limit value has been raised on larger + platforms to save "git fetch" from a (recoverable) failure while + "gc" is running in parallel. + + * Code to update the cache-tree has been tightened so that we won't + accidentally write out any 0{40} entry in the tree object. + (merge a96d3cc3f6 jk/no-null-sha1-in-cache-tree later to maint). + + * Attempt to allow us notice "fishy" situation where we fail to + remove the temporary directory used during the test. + + * Travis CI gained a task to format the documentation with both + AsciiDoc and AsciiDoctor. + (merge 505ad91304 ls/travis-doc-asciidoctor later to maint). + + * Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our + historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot + represent some timestamp that the platform allows. Invent a + separate and dedicated timestamp_t (so that we can distingiuish + timestamps and a vanilla ulongs, which along is already a good + move), and then declare uintmax_t is the type to be used as the + timestamp_t. + + +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v2.13 +----------------- + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.13 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases' +notes for details). + + * "git gc" did not interact well with "git worktree"-managed + per-worktree refs. + + * "git cherry-pick" and other uses of the sequencer machinery + mishandled a trailer block whose last line is an incomplete line. + This has been fixed so that an additional sign-off etc. are added + after completing the existing incomplete line. + (merge 44dc738a39 jt/use-trailer-api-in-commands later to maint). + + * The codepath in "git am" that is used when running "git rebase" + leaked memory held for the log message of the commits being rebased. + (merge 721f5f1e35 jk/am-leakfix later to maint). + + * "git clone --config var=val" is a way to populate the + per-repository configuration file of the new repository, but it did + not work well when val is an empty string. This has been fixed. + (merge db4eca1fea jn/clone-add-empty-config-from-command-line later to maint). + + * Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups. + (merge 515360f9e9 jn/credential-doc-on-clear later to maint). + (merge 0e6d899fee ab/aix-needs-compat-regex later to maint). + (merge e294e8959f jc/apply-fix-mismerge later to maint). diff --git a/GIT-VERSION-GEN b/GIT-VERSION-GEN index afcf9e9abf..4f94fc7574 100755 --- a/GIT-VERSION-GEN +++ b/GIT-VERSION-GEN @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ #!/bin/sh GVF=GIT-VERSION-FILE -DEF_VER=v2.13.0 +DEF_VER=v2.13.GIT LF=' ' @@ -1 +1 @@ -Documentation/RelNotes/2.13.0.txt
