| 1 | +Git 2.29 Release Notes |
| 2 | +====================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Updates since v2.28 |
| 5 | +------------------- |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +UI, Workflows & Features |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | + * "git help log" has been enhanced by sharing more material from the |
| 10 | + documentation for the underlying "git rev-list" command. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | + * "git for-each-ref --format=<>" learned %(contents:size). |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | + * The changed-path Bloom filter is improved using ideas from an |
| 18 | + independent implementation. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + * Updates to the changed-paths bloom filter. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + * The test framework has been updated so that most tests will run |
| 23 | + with predictable (artificial) timestamps. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + * Preliminary clean-up of the refs API in preparation for adding a |
| 26 | + new refs backend "reftable". |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + * Dev support to limit the use of test_must_fail to only git commands. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +Fixes since v2.28 |
| 32 | +----------------- |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + * "git clone --separate-git-dir=$elsewhere" used to stomp on the |
| 35 | + contents of the existing directory $elsewhere, which has been |
| 36 | + taught to fail when $elsewhere is not an empty directory. |
| 37 | + (merge dfaa209a79 bw/fail-cloning-into-non-empty later to maint). |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + * With the base fix to 2.27 regresion, any new extensions in a v0 |
| 41 | + repository would still be silently honored, which is not quite |
| 42 | + right. Instead, complain and die loudly. |
| 43 | + (merge ec91ffca04 jk/reject-newer-extensions-in-v0 later to maint). |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + * Fetching from a lazily cloned repository resulted at the server |
| 46 | + side in attempts to lazy fetch objects that the client side has, |
| 47 | + many of which will not be available from the third-party anyway. |
| 48 | + (merge 77aa0941ce jt/avoid-lazy-fetching-upon-have-check later to maint). |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | + * Fix to an ancient bug caused by an over-eager attempt for |
| 51 | + optimization. |
| 52 | + (merge a98f7fb366 rs/add-index-entry-optim-fix later to maint). |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | + * Pushing a ref whose name contains non-ASCII character with the |
| 55 | + "--force-with-lease" option did not work over smart HTTP protocol, |
| 56 | + which has been corrected. |
| 57 | + (merge cd85b447bf bc/push-cas-cquoted-refname later to maint). |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | + * "git mv src dst", when src is an unmerged path, errored out |
| 60 | + correctly but with an incorrect error message to claim that src is |
| 61 | + not tracked, which has been clarified. |
| 62 | + (merge 9b906af657 ct/mv-unmerged-path-error later to maint). |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + * Fix to a regression introduced during 2.27 cycle. |
| 65 | + (merge cada7308ad en/fill-directory-exponential later to maint). |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | + * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. |
