| 1 | +Git v2.9.3 Release Notes |
| 2 | +======================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Fixes since v2.9.2 |
| 5 | +------------------ |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | + * A helper function that takes the contents of a commit object and |
| 8 | + finds its subject line did not ignore leading blank lines, as is |
| 9 | + commonly done by other codepaths. Make it ignore leading blank |
| 10 | + lines to match. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | + * Git does not know what the contents in the index should be for a |
| 13 | + path added with "git add -N" yet, so "git grep --cached" should not |
| 14 | + show hits (or show lack of hits, with -L) in such a path, but that |
| 15 | + logic does not apply to "git grep", i.e. searching in the working |
| 16 | + tree files. But we did so by mistake, which has been corrected. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | + * "git rebase -i --autostash" did not restore the auto-stashed change |
| 19 | + when the operation was aborted. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + * "git commit --amend --allow-empty-message -S" for a commit without |
| 22 | + any message body could have misidentified where the header of the |
| 23 | + commit object ends. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + * More mark-up updates to typeset strings that are expected to |
| 26 | + literally typed by the end user in fixed-width font. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + * For a long time, we carried an in-code comment that said our |
| 29 | + colored output would work only when we use fprintf/fputs on |
| 30 | + Windows, which no longer is the case for the past few years. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + * "gc.autoPackLimit" when set to 1 should not trigger a repacking |
| 33 | + when there is only one pack, but the code counted poorly and did |
| 34 | + so. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + * One part of "git am" had an oddball helper function that called |
| 37 | + stuff from outside "his" as opposed to calling what we have "ours", |
| 38 | + which was not gender-neutral and also inconsistent with the rest of |
| 39 | + the system where outside stuff is usuall called "theirs" in |
| 40 | + contrast to "ours". |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + * The test framework learned a new helper test_match_signal to |
| 43 | + check an exit code from getting killed by an expected signal. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + * "git blame -M" missed a single line that was moved within the file. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + * Fix recently introduced codepaths that are involved in parallel |
| 48 | + submodule operations, which gave up on reading too early, and |
| 49 | + could have wasted CPU while attempting to write under a corner |
| 50 | + case condition. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | + * "git grep -i" has been taught to fold case in non-ascii locales |
| 53 | + correctly. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | + * A test that unconditionally used "mktemp" learned that the command |
| 56 | + is not necessarily available everywhere. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
