14
* The tests that involve running httpd leaked the system-wide
15
configuration in /etc/gitconfig to the tested environment.
16
17
+ * "index-pack --keep=<msg>" was broken since v2.1.0 timeframe.
18
+
19
+ * "git config --get-urlmatch", unlike other variants of the "git
20
+ config --get" family, did not signal error with its exit status
21
+ when there was no matching configuration.
22
+
23
+ * The "--local-env-vars" and "--resolve-git-dir" options of "git
24
+ rev-parse" failed to work outside a repository when the command's
25
+ option parsing was rewritten in 1.8.5 era.
26
+
27
+ * Fetching of history by naming a commit object name directly didn't
28
+ work across remote-curl transport.
29
+
30
+ * A small memory leak in an error codepath has been plugged in xdiff
31
+ code.
32
+
33
+ * strbuf_getwholeline() did not NUL-terminate the buffer on certain
34
+ corner cases in its error codepath.
35
+
36
+ * The startup_info data, which records if we are working inside a
37
+ repository (among other things), are now uniformly available to Git
38
+ subcommand implementations, and Git avoids attempting to touch
39
+ references when we are not in a repository.
40
+
41
+ * "git mergetool" did not work well with conflicts that both sides
42
+ deleted.
43
+
44
+ * "git send-email" had trouble parsing alias file in mailrc format
45
+ when lines in it had trailing whitespaces on them.
46
+
47
+ * When "git merge --squash" stopped due to conflict, the concluding
48
+ "git commit" failed to read in the SQUASH_MSG that shows the log
49
+ messages from all the squashed commits.
50
+
51
+ * "git merge FETCH_HEAD" dereferenced NULL pointer when merging
52
+ nothing into an unborn history (which is arguably unusual usage,
53
+ which perhaps was the reason why nobody noticed it).

Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
