+Git 2.28 Release Notes
2
+======================
3
+
4
+Updates since v2.27
5
+-------------------
6
+
7
+Backward compatibility notes
8
+
9
+ * "feature.experimental" configuration variable is to let volunteers
10
+ easily opt into a set of newer features, which use of the v2
11
+ transport protocol is now a part of.
12
+
13
+
14
+UI, Workflows & Features
15
+
16
+ * The commands in the "diff" family learned to honor "diff.relative"
17
+ configuration variable.
18
+
19
+
20
+
21
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
22
+
23
+ * Code optimization for a common case.
24
+ (merge 8777616e4d an/merge-single-strategy-optim later to maint).
25
+
26
+ * We've adopted a convention that any on-stack structure can be
27
+ initialized to have zero values in all fields with "= { 0 }",
28
+ even when the first field happens to be a pointer, but sparse
29
+ complained that a null pointer should be spelled NULL for a long
30
+ time. Start using -Wno-universal-initializer option to squelch
31
+ it (the latest sparse has it on by default).
32
+
33
+
34
+
35
+Fixes since v2.27
36
+-----------------
37
+
38
+ * The "--prepare-p4-only" option of "git p4" is supposed to stop
39
+ after replaying one changeset, but kept going (by mistake?)
40
+
41
+ * The error message from "git checkout -b foo -t bar baz" was
42
+ confusing.
43
+
44
+ * Some repositories in the wild have commits that record nonsense
45
+ committer timezone (e.g. rails.git); "git fast-import" learned an
46
+ option to pass these nonsense timestamps intact to allow recreating
47
+ existing repositories as-is.
48
+ (merge d42a2fb72f en/fast-import-looser-date later to maint).
49
+
50
+ * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
51
+ (merge 2c31a7aa44 jx/pkt-line-doc-count-fix later to maint).
52
+ (merge d63ae31962 cb/t5608-cleanup later to maint).
