+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.

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).
