This release includes fixes to two bugs that have been reported on the list recently, among other changes: - v2.9.0 changed cloning of submodules in a top-level superproject that was cloned shallowly to explicitly ask for the exact commit bound at the superproject, which many instances of servers are not yet prepared to handle (the feature appeared in a few releases ago but the server operators may not have enabled it yet). - "git bisect" at the end tries to give something similar to an output from "git show --raw" for the found culprit, but the step was broken due to an internal API change. The tarballs are found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.9.1' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at: url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core url = https://github.com/gitster/git ---------------------------------------------------------------- Git v2.9.1 Release Notes ======================== Fixes since v2.9 ---------------- * When "git daemon" is run without --[init-]timeout specified, a connection from a client that silently goes offline can hang around for a long time, wasting resources. The socket-level KEEPALIVE has been enabled to allow the OS to notice such failed connections. * The commands in `git log` family take %C(auto) in a custom format string. This unconditionally turned the color on, ignoring --no-color or with --color=auto when the output is not connected to a tty; this was corrected to make the format truly behave as "auto". * "git rev-list --count" whose walk-length is limited with "-n" option did not work well with the counting optimized to look at the bitmap index. * "git show -W" (extend hunks to cover the entire function, delimited by lines that match the "funcname" pattern) used to show the entire file when a change added an entire function at the end of the file, which has been fixed. * The documentation set has been updated so that literal commands, configuration variables and environment variables are consistently typeset in fixed-width font and bold in manpages. * "git svn propset" subcommand that was added in 2.3 days is documented now. * The documentation tries to consistently spell "GPG"; when referring to the specific program name, "gpg" is used. * "git reflog" stopped upon seeing an entry that denotes a branch creation event (aka "unborn"), which made it appear as if the reflog was truncated. * The git-prompt scriptlet (in contrib/) was not friendly with those who uses "set -u", which has been fixed. * A codepath that used alloca(3) to place an unbounded amount of data on the stack has been updated to avoid doing so. * "git update-index --add --chmod=+x file" may be usable as an escape hatch, but not a friendly thing to force for people who do need to use it regularly. "git add --chmod=+x file" can be used instead. * Build improvements for gnome-keyring (in contrib/) * "git status" used to say "working directory" when it meant "working tree". * Comments about misbehaving FreeBSD shells have been clarified with the version number (9.x and before are broken, newer ones are OK). * "git cherry-pick A" worked on an unborn branch, but "git cherry-pick A..B" didn't. * "git add -i/-p" learned to honor diff.compactionHeuristic experimental knob, so that the user can work on the same hunk split as "git diff" output. * "log --graph --format=" learned that "%>|(N)" specifies the width relative to the terminal's left edge, not relative to the area to draw text that is to the right of the ancestry-graph section. It also now accepts negative N that means the column limit is relative to the right border. * The ownership rule for the piece of memory that hold references to be fetched in "git fetch" was screwy, which has been cleaned up. * "git bisect" makes an internal call to "git diff-tree" when bisection finds the culprit, but this call did not initialize the data structure to pass to the diff-tree API correctly. * Formats of the various data (and how to validate them) where we use GPG signature have been documented. * Fix an unintended regression in v2.9 that breaks "clone --depth" that recurses down to submodules by forcing the submodules to also be cloned shallowly, which many server instances that host upstream of the submodules are not prepared for. * Fix unnecessarily waste in the idiomatic use of ': ${VAR=default}' to set the default value, without enclosing it in double quotes. * Some platform-specific code had non-ANSI strict declarations of C functions that do not take any parameters, which has been corrected. * The internal code used to show local timezone offset is not prepared to handle timestamps beyond year 2100, and gave a bogus offset value to the caller. Use a more benign looking +0000 instead and let "git log" going in such a case, instead of aborting. * One among four invocations of readlink(1) in our test suite has been rewritten so that the test can run on systems without the command (others are in valgrind test framework and t9802). * t/perf needs /usr/bin/time with GNU extension; the invocation of it is updated to "gtime" on Darwin. * A bug, which caused "git p4" while running under verbose mode to report paths that are omitted due to branch prefix incorrectly, has been fixed; the command said "Ignoring file outside of prefix" for paths that are _inside_. * The top level documentation "git help git" still pointed at the documentation set hosted at now-defunct google-code repository. Update it to point to https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git.html instead. Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v2.9.0 are as follows: Alfred Perlstein (1): git-svn: document the 'git svn propset' command Andrew Oakley (1): git-p4: correct hasBranchPrefix verbose output Armin Kunaschik (1): t7800: readlink may not be available Charles Bailey (1): t7810: fix duplicated test title Dave Nicolson (1): Documentation: GPG capitalization David Turner (1): mailmap: use main email address for dturner Ed Maste (1): rebase: update comment about FreeBSD /bin/sh Edward Thomson (2): format_commit_message: honor `color=auto` for `%C(auto)` add: add --chmod=+x / --chmod=-x options Eric Wong (1): daemon: enable SO_KEEPALIVE for all sockets Heiko Becker (1): gnome-keyring: Don't hard-code pkg-config executable Jeff King (9): rev-list: "adjust" results of "--count --use-bitmap-index -n" rev-list: disable bitmaps when "-n" is used with listing objects tree-diff: avoid alloca for large allocations fetch: document that pruning happens before fetching add--interactive: respect diff.compactionHeuristic bisect: always call setup_revisions after init_revisions t0006: rename test-date's "show" to "relative" t0006: test various date formats local_tzoffset: detect errors from tm_to_time_t Johannes Schindelin (3): mingw: let the build succeed with DEVELOPER=1 perf: accommodate for MacOSX t2300: "git --exec-path" is not usable in $PATH on Windows as-is Jonathan Nieder (1): doc: git-htmldocs.googlecode.com is no more Josef Kufner (1): pretty: pass graph width to pretty formatting for use in '%>|(N)' Junio C Hamano (5): blame, line-log: do not loop around deref_tag() clone: do not let --depth imply --shallow-submodules Start preparing for 2.9.1 More fixes for 2.9.1 Git 2.9.1 Keith McGuigan (1): builtin/fetch.c: don't free remote->name after fetch LE Manh Cuong (1): sh-setup: enclose setting of ${VAR=default} in double-quotes Lars Vogel (1): Use "working tree" instead of "working directory" for git status Michael J Gruber (5): cherry-pick: allow to pick to unborn branches Documentation/technical: describe signature formats Documentation/technical: signed tag format Documentation/technical: signed commit format Documentation/technical: signed merge tag format Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (1): pretty.c: support |() forms Peter Colberg (2): refs.h: fix misspelt "occurred" in a comment config.c: fix misspelt "occurred" in an error message Pranit Bauva (1): strbuf: describe the return value of strbuf_read_file Ramsay Jones (1): regex: fix a SIZE_MAX macro redefinition warning René Scharfe (9): t4051: rewrite, add more tests xdiff: factor out match_func_rec() xdiff: handle appended chunks better with -W xdiff: ignore empty lines before added functions with -W xdiff: -W: don't include common trailing empty lines in context xdiff: don't trim common tail with -W t7810: add test for grep -W and trailing empty context lines grep: -W: don't extend context to trailing empty lines xdiff: fix merging of appended hunk with -W SZEDER Gábor (1): reflog: continue walking the reflog past root commits Stefan Beller (1): t5614: don't use subshells Tom Russello (4): doc: clearer rule about formatting literals doc: change environment variables format doc: more consistency in environment variables format doc: change configuration variables format Ville Skyttä (1): git-prompt.sh: Don't error on null ${ZSH,BASH}_VERSION, $short_sha
