+Git v2.4.3 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v2.4.3
5
+------------------
6
+
7
+ * Error messages from "git branch" called remote-tracking branches as
8
+ "remote branches".
9
+
10
+ * "git rerere forget" in a repository without rerere enabled gave a
11
+ cryptic error message; it should be a silent no-op instead.
12
+
13
+ * "git pull --log" and "git pull --no-log" worked as expected, but
14
+ "git pull --log=20" did not.
15
+
16
+ * The pull.ff configuration was supposed to override the merge.ff
17
+ configuration, but it didn't.
18
+
19
+ * The code to read pack-bitmap wanted to allocate a few hundred
20
+ pointers to a structure, but by mistake allocated and leaked memory
21
+ enough to hold that many actual structures. Correct the allocation
22
+ size and also have it on stack, as it is small enough.
23
+
24
+ * Various documentation mark-up fixes to make the output more
25
+ consistent in general and also make AsciiDoctor (an alternative
26
+ formatter) happier.
27
+
28
+ * "git bundle verify" did not diagnose extra parameters on the
29
+ command line.
30
+
31
+ * Multi-ref transaction support we merged a few releases ago
32
+ unnecessarily kept many file descriptors open, risking to fail with
33
+ resource exhaustion.
34
+
35
+ * The ref API did not handle cases where 'refs/heads/xyzzy/frotz' is
36
+ removed at the same time as 'refs/heads/xyzzy' is added (or vice
37
+ versa) very well.
38
+
39
+ * The "log --decorate" enhancement in Git 2.4 that shows the commit
40
+ at the tip of the current branch e.g. "HEAD -> master", did not
41
+ work with --decorate=full.
42
+
43
+ * There was a commented-out (instead of being marked to expect
44
+ failure) test that documented a breakage that was fixed since the
45
+ test was written; turn it into a proper test.
46
+
47
+ * core.excludesfile (defaulting to $XDG_HOME/git/ignore) is supposed
48
+ to be overridden by repository-specific .git/info/exclude file, but
49
+ the order was swapped from the beginning. This belatedly fixes it.
50
+
51
+ * The connection initiation code for "ssh" transport tried to absorb
52
+ differences between the stock "ssh" and Putty-supplied "plink" and
53
+ its derivatives, but the logic to tell that we are using "plink"
54
+ variants were too loose and falsely triggered when "plink" appeared
55
+ anywhere in the path (e.g. "/home/me/bin/uplink/ssh").
56
+
57
+ * "git rebase -i" moved the "current" command from "todo" to "done" a
58
+ bit too prematurely, losing a step when a "pick" did not even start.
59
+
60
+ * "git add -e" did not allow the user to abort the operation by
61
+ killing the editor.
62
+
63
+ * Git 2.4 broke setting verbosity and progress levels on "git clone"
64
+ with native transports.
65
+
66
+ * Some time ago, "git blame" (incorrectly) lost the convert_to_git()
67
+ call when synthesizing a fake "tip" commit that represents the
68
+ state in the working tree, which broke folks who record the history
69
+ with LF line ending to make their project portabile across
70
+ platforms while terminating lines in their working tree files with
71
+ CRLF for their platform.
72
+
73
+ * Code clean-up for xdg configuration path support.
74
+
75
+Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
76
+clean-ups.
