+Git 2.42.1 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+There is nothing exciting to see here. Relative to Git 2.42, this
5
+release contains the fixes that have already been merged to the
6
+'master' branch of the development towards Git 2.43 that has been
7
+tagged as Git 2.43.0-rc0.
8
+
9
+Fixes since Git 2.42.0
10
+----------------------
11
+
12
+ * Tests that are known to pass with LSan are now marked as such.
13
+
14
+ * Flaky "git p4" tests, as well as "git svn" tests, are now skipped
15
+ in the (rather expensive) sanitizer CI job.
16
+
17
+ * Tests with LSan from time to time seem to emit harmless message
18
+ that makes our tests unnecessarily flaky; we work it around by
19
+ filtering the uninteresting output.
20
+
21
+ * GitHub CI workflow has learned to trigger Coverity check.
22
+
23
+ * Overly long label names used in the sequencer machinery are now
24
+ chopped to fit under filesystem limitation.
25
+
26
+ * Scalar updates.
27
+
28
+ * Tweak GitHub Actions CI so that pushing the same commit to multiple
29
+ branch tips at the same time will not waste building and testing
30
+ the same thing twice.
31
+
32
+ * The commit-graph verification code that detects mixture of zero and
33
+ non-zero generation numbers has been updated.
34
+
35
+ * "git diff -w --exit-code" with various options did not work
36
+ correctly, which is being addressed.
37
+
38
+ * transfer.unpackLimit ought to be used as a fallback, but overrode
39
+ fetch.unpackLimit and receive.unpackLimit instead.
40
+
41
+ * The use of API between two calls to require_clean_work_tree() from
42
+ the sequencer code has been cleaned up for consistency.
43
+
44
+ * "git diff --no-such-option" and other corner cases around the exit
45
+ status of the "diff" command has been corrected.
46
+
47
+ * "git for-each-ref --sort='contents:size'" sorts the refs according
48
+ to size numerically, giving a ref that points at a blob twelve-byte
49
+ (12) long before showing a blob hundred-byte (100) long.
50
+
51
+ * Various fixes to the behavior of "rebase -i" when the command got
52
+ interrupted by conflicting changes.
53
+
54
+ * References from description of the `--patch` option in various
55
+ manual pages have been simplified and improved.
56
+
57
+ * "git grep -e A --no-or -e B" is accepted, even though the negation
58
+ of "or" did not mean anything, which has been tightened.
59
+
60
+ * The completion script (in contrib/) has been taught to treat the
61
+ "-t" option to "git checkout" and "git switch" just like the
62
+ "--track" option, to complete remote-tracking branches.
63
+
64
+ * "git diff --no-index -R <(one) <(two)" did not work correctly,
65
+ which has been corrected.
66
+
67
+ * Update "git maintenance" timers' implementation based on systemd
68
+ timers to work with WSL.
69
+
70
+ * "git diff --cached" codepath did not fill the necessary stat
71
+ information for a file when fsmonitor knows it is clean and ended
72
+ up behaving as if it is not clean, which has been corrected.
73
+
74
+ * Clarify how "alias.foo = : git cmd ; aliased-command-string" should
75
+ be spelled with necessary whitespaces around punctuation marks to
76
+ work.
77
+
78
+ * HTTP Header redaction code has been adjusted for a newer version of
79
+ cURL library that shows its traces differently from earlier
80
+ versions.
81
+
82
+ * An error message given by "git send-email" when given a malformed
83
+ address did not give correct information, which has been corrected.
84
+
85
+ * UBSan options were not propagated through the test framework to git
86
+ run via the httpd, unlike ASan options, which has been corrected.
87
+
88
+Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups.
