Git v2.47 Release Notes
=======================
UI, Workflows & Features
------------------------
* Many Porcelain commands that internally use the merge machinery
were taught to consistently honor the diff.algorithm configuration.
* A few descriptions in "git show-ref -h" have been clarified.
* A 'P' command to "git add -p" that passes the patch hunk to the
pager has been added.
* "git grep -W" omits blank lines that follow the found function at
the end of the file, just like it omits blank lines before the next
function.
* The value of http.proxy can have "path" at the end for a socks
proxy that listens to a unix-domain socket, but we started to
discard it when we taught proxy auth code path to use the
credential helpers, which has been corrected.
* The code paths to compact multiple reftable files have been updated
to correctly deal with multiple compaction triggering at the same
time.
* Support to specify ref backend for submodules has been enhanced.
* "git svn" has been taught about svn:global-ignores property
recent versions of Subversion has.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------
* A build tweak knob has been simplified by not setting the value
that is already the default; another unused one has been removed.
* A CI job that use clang-format to check coding style issues in new
code has been added.
* The reviewing guidelines document now explicitly encourages people
to give positive reviews and how.
* Test script linter has been updated to catch an attempt to use
one-shot export construct "VAR=VAL func" for shell functions (which
does not work for some shells) better.
* Some project conventions have been added to CodingGuidelines.
* In the refs subsystem, implicit reliance of the_repository has been
eliminated; the repository associated with the ref store object is
used instead.
* Various tests in reftable library have been rewritten using the unit test
framework.
* A test that fails on an unusually slow machine was found, and made
less likely to cause trouble by lengthening the expiry value it
uses.
* An existing test of hashmap API has been rewritten with the
unit-test framework.
* A policy document that describes platform support levels and
expectation on platform stakeholders has been introduced.
* The refs API has been taught to give symref target information to
the users of ref iterators, allowing for-each-ref and friends to
avoid an extra ref_resolve_* API call per a symbolic ref.
* Unit-test framework has learned a simple control structure to allow
embedding test statements in-line instead of having to create a new
function to contain them.
* Incremental updates of multi-pack index files is getting worked on.
Fixes since v2.46
-----------------
* "git add -p" by users with diff.suppressBlankEmpty set to true
failed to parse the patch that represents an unmodified empty line
with an empty line (not a line with a single space on it), which
has been corrected.
* "git checkout --ours" (no other arguments) complained that the
option is incompatible with branch switching, which is technically
correct, but found confusing by some users. It now says that the
user needs to give pathspec to specify what paths to checkout.
* It has been documented that we avoid "VAR=VAL shell_func" and why.
* "git rebase --help" referred to "offset" (the difference between
the location a change was taken from and the change gets replaced)
incorrectly and called it "fuzz", which has been corrected.
* "git notes add -m '' --allow-empty" and friends that take prepared
data to create notes should not invoke an editor, but it started
doing so since Git 2.42, which has been corrected.
* An expensive operation to prepare tracing was done in re-encoding
code path even when the tracing was not requested, which has been
corrected.
* More leakfixes.
(merge f30bfafcd4 ps/leakfixes-part-3 later to maint).
* The credential helper to talk to OSX keychain sometimes sent
garbage bytes after the username, which has been corrected.
(merge b201316835 jk/osxkeychain-username-is-nul-terminated later to maint).
* A recent update broke "git ls-remote" used outside a repository,
which has been corrected.
(merge 9e89dcb66a ps/ls-remote-out-of-repo-fix later to maint).
* The patch parser in 'git apply' has been a bit more lenient against
unexpected mode bits, like 100664, recorded on extended header lines.
(merge e95d515141 jk/apply-patch-mode-check-fix later to maint).
* "git config --value=foo --fixed-value section.key newvalue" barfed
when the existing value in the configuration file used the
valueless true syntax, which has been corrected.
(merge 615d2de3b4 tb/config-fixed-value-with-valueless-true later to maint).
* The patch parser in "git patch-id" has been tightened to avoid
getting confused by lines that look like a patch header in the log
message.
(merge a6e9429f72 jc/patch-id later to maint).
* "git reflog expire" failed to honor annotated tags when computing
reachable commits.
(merge 5133ead528 jc/reflog-expire-lookup-commit-fix later to maint).
* A flakey test and incorrect calls to strtoX() functions have been
fixed.
(merge ec60bb9fc4 kl/test-fixes later to maint).
* Follow-up on 2.45.1 regression fix.
(merge ee0be850b0 jc/safe-directory later to maint).
* "git rev-list ... | git diff-tree -p --remerge-diff --stdin" should
behave more or less like "git log -p --remerge-diff" but instead it
crashed, forgetting to prepare a temporary object store needed.
(merge a77554ea09 xx/diff-tree-remerge-diff-fix later to maint).
* "git bundle unbundle" outside a repository triggered a BUG()
unnecessarily, which has been corrected.
(merge 96a9a3e42e ps/bundle-outside-repo-fix later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge bb0498b1bb jc/how-to-maintain-updates later to maint).
(merge 7c7516b8db jc/jl-git-no-advice-fix later to maint).
(merge c3d034df16 jc/leakfix-hashfile later to maint).
