| 1 | Git v2.3.5 Release Notes |
| 2 | ======================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v2.3.4 |
| 5 | ------------------ |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * The prompt script (in contrib/) did not show the untracked sign |
| 8 | when working in a subdirectory without any untracked files. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | * Even though "git grep --quiet" is run merely to ask for the exit |
| 11 | status, we spawned the pager regardless. Stop doing that. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * Recommend format-patch and send-email for those who want to submit |
| 14 | patches to this project. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * An failure early in the "git clone" that started creating the |
| 17 | working tree and repository could have resulted in some directories |
| 18 | and files left without getting cleaned up. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * "git fetch" that fetches a commit using the allow-tip-sha1-in-want |
| 21 | extension could have failed to fetch all the requested refs. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * The split-index mode introduced at v2.3.0-rc0~41 was broken in the |
| 24 | codepath to protect us against a broken reimplementation of Git |
| 25 | that writes an invalid index with duplicated index entries, etc. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * "git prune" used to largely ignore broken refs when deciding which |
| 28 | objects are still being used, which could spread an existing small |
| 29 | damage and make it a larger one. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * "git tag -h" used to show the "--column" and "--sort" options |
| 32 | that are about listing in a wrong section. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * The transfer.hiderefs support did not quite work for smart-http |
| 35 | transport. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * The code that reads from the ctags file in the completion script |
| 38 | (in contrib/) did not spell ${param/pattern/string} substitution |
| 39 | correctly, which happened to work with bash but not with zsh. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | * The explanation on "rebase --preserve-merges", "pull --rebase=preserve", |
| 42 | and "push --force-with-lease" in the documentation was unclear. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. |
