43
* Adjust to the way newer versions of cURL selectively enable tracing
44
options, so that our tests can continue to work.
45
46
+ * During interactive rebase, using 'drop' on a merge commit led to
47
+ an error, which has been corrected.
48
+
49
+ * "git refs migrate" to migrate the reflog entries from a refs
50
+ backend to another had a handful of bugs squashed.
51
+
52
+ * "git push" had a code path that led to BUG() but it should have
53
+ been a die(), as it is a response to a usual but invalid end-user
54
+ action to attempt pushing an object that does not exist.
55
+
56
+ * Various bugs about rename handling in "ort" merge strategy have
57
+ been fixed.
58
+
59
+ * "git diff --no-index" run inside a subdirectory under control of a
60
+ Git repository operated at the top of the working tree and stripped
61
+ the prefix from the output, and oddballs like "-" (stdin) did not
62
+ work correctly because of it. Correct the set-up by undoing what
63
+ the set-up sequence did to cwd and prefix.
64
+
65
+ * Various options to "git diff" that make comparison ignore certain
66
+ aspects of the differences (like "space changes are ignored",
67
+ "differences in lines that match these regular expressions are
68
+ ignored") did not work well with "--name-only" and friends.
69
+
70
+ * Under a race against another process that is repacking the
71
+ repository, especially a partially cloned one, "git fetch" may
72
+ mistakenly think some objects we do have are missing, which has
73
+ been corrected.
74
+
75
+ * "git repack --path-walk" lost objects in some corner cases, which
76
+ has been corrected.
77
+ cf. <CABPp-BHFxxGrqKc0m==TjQNjDGdO=H5Rf6EFsf2nfE1=TuraOQ@mail.gmail.com>
78
+
79
+ * Fixes multiple crashes around midx write-out codepaths.
80
+
81
+ * A broken or malicious "git fetch" can say that it has the same
82
+ object for many many times, and the upload-pack serving it can
83
+ exhaust memory storing them redundantly, which has been corrected.
84
+
85
+ * A corner case bug in "git log -L..." has been corrected.
86
+
87
+ * Some among "git add -p" and friends ignored color.diff and/or
88
+ color.ui configuration variables, which is an old regression, which
89
+ has been corrected.
90
+
91
+ * "git rebase -i" failed to clean-up the commit log message when the
92
+ command commits the final one in a chain of "fixup" commands, which
93
+ has been corrected.
94
+
95
+ * Deal more gracefully with directory / file conflicts when the files
96
+ backend is used for ref storage, by failing only the ones that are
97
+ involved in the conflict while allowing others.
98
+
99
Also contains various documentation updates, code cleanups and minor fixups.
