+Git v2.12.3 Release Notes
2
+=========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v2.12.2
5
+-------------------
6
+
7
+ * The "parse_config_key()" API function has been cleaned up.
8
+
9
+ * An helper function to make it easier to append the result from
10
+ real_path() to a strbuf has been added.
11
+
12
+ * The t/perf performance test suite was not prepared to test not so
13
+ old versions of Git, but now it covers versions of Git that are not
14
+ so ancient.
15
+
16
+ * Picking two versions of Git and running tests to make sure the
17
+ older one and the newer one interoperate happily has now become
18
+ possible.
19
+
20
+ * Teach the "debug" helper used in the test framework that allows a
21
+ command to run under "gdb" to make the session interactive.
22
+
23
+ * "git repack --depth=<n>" for a long time busted the specified depth
24
+ when reusing delta from existing packs. This has been corrected.
25
+
26
+ * user.email that consists of only cruft chars should consistently
27
+ error out, but didn't.
28
+
29
+ * A few tests were run conditionally under (rare) conditions where
30
+ they cannot be run (like running cvs tests under 'root' account).
31
+
32
+ * "git branch @" created refs/heads/@ as a branch, and in general the
33
+ code that handled @{-1} and @{upstream} was a bit too loose in
34
+ disambiguating.
35
+
36
+ * "git fetch" that requests a commit by object name, when the other
37
+ side does not allow such an request, failed without much
38
+ explanation.
39
+
40
+ * "git filter-branch --prune-empty" drops a single-parent commit that
41
+ becomes a no-op, but did not drop a root commit whose tree is empty.
42
+
43
+ * Recent versions of Git treats http alternates (used in dumb http
44
+ transport) just like HTTP redirects and requires the client to
45
+ enable following it, due to security concerns. But we forgot to
46
+ give a warning when we decide not to honor the alternates.
47
+
48
+ * NO_PTHREADS build has been broken for some time; now fixed.
49
+
50
+ * Fix for potential segv introduced in v2.11.0 and later (also
51
+ v2.10.2).
52
+
53
+ * A few unterminated here documents in tests were fixed, which in
54
+ turn revealed incorrect expectations the tests make. These tests
55
+ have been updated.
56
+
57
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
