Git 2.14 Release Notes
2+
======================
3+
4+
Backward compatibility notes.
5+
6+
* Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for
7+
'everything matches' is still warned and Git asks users to use a
8+
more explicit '.' for that instead. The hope is that existing
9+
users will not mind this change, and eventually the warning can be
10+
turned into a hard error, upgrading the deprecation into removal of
11+
this (mis)feature. That is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming
12+
release (yet).
13+
14+
* Git now avoids blindly falling back to ".git" when the setup
15+
sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository. A corner case that
16+
happens to work right now may be broken by a call to die("BUG").
17+
We've tried hard to locate such cases and fixed them, but there
18+
might still be cases that need to be addressed--bug reports are
19+
greatly appreciated.
20+
21+
22+
Updates since v2.13
23+
-------------------
24+
25+
UI, Workflows & Features
26+
27+
* The colors in which "git status --short --branch" showed the names
28+
of the current branch and its remote-tracking branch are now
29+
configurable.
30+
31+
* "git clone" learned the "--no-tags" option not to fetch all tags
32+
initially, and also set up the tagopt not to follow any tags in
33+
subsequent fetches.
34+
35+
* "git archive --format=zip" learned to use zip64 extension when
36+
necessary to go beyond the 4GB limit.
37+
(merge 867e40ff3a rs/large-zip later to maint).
38+
39+
40+
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
41+
42+
* The default packed-git limit value has been raised on larger
43+
platforms to save "git fetch" from a (recoverable) failure while
44+
"gc" is running in parallel.
45+
46+
* Code to update the cache-tree has been tightened so that we won't
47+
accidentally write out any 0{40} entry in the tree object.
48+
(merge a96d3cc3f6 jk/no-null-sha1-in-cache-tree later to maint).
49+
50+
* Attempt to allow us notice "fishy" situation where we fail to
51+
remove the temporary directory used during the test.
52+
53+
* Travis CI gained a task to format the documentation with both
54+
AsciiDoc and AsciiDoctor.
55+
(merge 505ad91304 ls/travis-doc-asciidoctor later to maint).
56+
57+
* Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our
58+
historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot
59+
represent some timestamp that the platform allows. Invent a
60+
separate and dedicated timestamp_t (so that we can distingiuish
61+
timestamps and a vanilla ulongs, which along is already a good
62+
move), and then declare uintmax_t is the type to be used as the
63+
timestamp_t.
64+
65+
66+
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
67+
68+
69+
Fixes since v2.13
70+
-----------------
71+
72+
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.13 in the maintenance
73+
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
74+
notes for details).
75+
76+
* "git gc" did not interact well with "git worktree"-managed
77+
per-worktree refs.
78+
79+
* "git cherry-pick" and other uses of the sequencer machinery
80+
mishandled a trailer block whose last line is an incomplete line.
81+
This has been fixed so that an additional sign-off etc. are added
82+
after completing the existing incomplete line.
83+
(merge 44dc738a39 jt/use-trailer-api-in-commands later to maint).
84+
85+
* The codepath in "git am" that is used when running "git rebase"
86+
leaked memory held for the log message of the commits being rebased.
87+
(merge 721f5f1e35 jk/am-leakfix later to maint).
88+
89+
* "git clone --config var=val" is a way to populate the
90+
per-repository configuration file of the new repository, but it did
91+
not work well when val is an empty string. This has been fixed.
92+
(merge db4eca1fea jn/clone-add-empty-config-from-command-line later to maint).
93+
94+
* Other minor doc, test and build updates and code cleanups.
95+
(merge 515360f9e9 jn/credential-doc-on-clear later to maint).
96+
(merge 0e6d899fee ab/aix-needs-compat-regex later to maint).
97+
(merge e294e8959f jc/apply-fix-mismerge later to maint).
