The tarballs are found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.4.7' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at: url =3D https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git url =3D git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git url =3D https://code.google.com/p/git-core/ url =3D git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git url =3D git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core url =3D https://github.com/gitster/git ---------------------------------------------------------------- Git v2.4.7 Release Notes =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D =46ixes since v2.4.6 ------------------ * A minor regression to "git fsck" in v2.2 era was fixed; it complained about a body-less tag object when it lacked a separator empty line after its header to separate it with a non-existent body. * We used to ask libCURL to use the most secure authentication method available when talking to an HTTP proxy only when we were told to talk to one via configuration variables. We now ask libCURL to always use the most secure authentication method, because the user can tell libCURL to use an HTTP proxy via an environment variable without using configuration variables. * When you say "!" while running say "git log", you'd confuse yourself in the resulting shell, that may look as if you took control back to the original shell you spawned "git log" from but that isn't what is happening. To that new shell, we leaked GIT_PAGER_IN_USE environment variable that was meant as a local communication between the original "Git" and subprocesses that was spawned by it after we launched the pager, which caused many "interesting" things to happen, e.g. "git diff | cat" still paints its output in color by default. Stop leaking that environment variable to the pager's half of the fork; we only need it on "Git" side when we spawn the pager. * Avoid possible ssize_t to int truncation. * "git config" failed to update the configuration file when the underlying filesystem is incapable of renaming a file that is still open. * A minor bugfix when pack bitmap is used with "rev-list --count". * An ancient test framework enhancement to allow color was not entirely correct; this makes it work even when tput needs to read from the ~/.terminfo under the user's real HOME directory. * Fix a small bug in our use of umask() return value. * "git rebase" did not exit with failure when format-patch it invoked failed for whatever reason. * Disable "have we lost a race with competing repack?" check while receiving a huge object transfer that runs index-pack. Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v2.4.6 are as follows: Clemens Buchacher (1): rebase: return non-zero error code if format-patch fails Enrique Tobis (1): http: always use any proxy auth method available Jeff King (4): index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory docs: clarify that --encoding can produce invalid sequences rev-list: disable --use-bitmap-index when pruning commits check_and_freshen_file: fix reversed success-check Junio C Hamano (3): fsck: it is OK for a tag and a commit to lack the body pager: do not leak "GIT_PAGER_IN_USE" to the pager Git 2.4.7 Karsten Blees (1): config.c: fix writing config files on Windows network shares Lawrence Siebert (1): rev-list: add --count to usage guide Matthieu Moy (2): Documentation/branch: document -d --force and -m --force Documentation/branch: document -M and -D in terms of --force Michael Haggerty (1): strbuf: strbuf_read_file() should return ssize_t Richard Hansen (2): Revert "test-lib.sh: do tests for color support after changing HO= ME" test-lib.sh: fix color support when tput needs ~/.terminfo Torsten B=C3=B6gershausen (1): git-checkout.txt: document "git checkout " better
