+Git 2.5 Release Notes

+=====================
3

4
+Updates since v2.4
5
+------------------
6
+
7
+Ports
8
+
9
+
10
+UI, Workflows & Features
11
+
12
+ * "git p4" now detects the filetype (e.g. binary) correctly even when
13
+ the files are opened exclusively.
14
+
15
+ * "git show-branch --topics HEAD" (with no other arguments) did not
16
+ do anything interesting. Instead, contrast the given revision
17
+ against all the local branches by default.
18
+
19
+
20
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
21
+
22
+ * "unsigned char [20]" used thoughout the code to represent object
23
+ names are being converted into a semi-opaque "struct object_id".
24
+ This effort is expected to interfere with other topics in flight,
25
+ but hopefully will give us one extra level of abstraction in the
26
+ end, when completed.
27
+
28
+
29
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.

32
+Fixes since v2.4
33
+----------------
34
+
35
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.4 in the maintenance
36
+track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
37
+notes for details).
38
+
39
+ * We avoid setting core.worktree when the repository location is the
40
+ ".git" directory directly at the top level of the working tree, but
41
+ the code misdetected the case in which the working tree is at the
42
+ root level of the filesystem (which arguably is a silly thing to
43
+ do, but still valid).
44
+ (merge 84ccad8 jk/init-core-worktree-at-root later to maint).
45
+
46
+ * "git commit --date=now" or anything that relies on approxidate lost
47
+ the daylight-saving-time offset.
48
+ (merge f6e6362 jc/epochtime-wo-tz later to maint).
49
+
50
+ * Access to objects in repositories that borrow from another one on a
51
+ slow NFS server unnecessarily got more expensive due to recent code
52
+ becoming more cautious in a naive way not to lose objects to pruning.
53
+ (merge ee1c6c3 jk/prune-mtime later to maint).
54
+
55
+ * The codepaths that read .gitignore and .gitattributes files have been
56
+ taught that these files encoded in UTF-8 may have UTF-8 BOM marker at
57
+ the beginning; this makes it in line with what we do for configuration
58
+ files already.
59
+ (merge 27547e5 cn/bom-in-gitignore later to maint).
60
+
61
+ * a few helper scripts in the test suite did not report errors
62
+ correcty.
63
+ (merge de248e9 ep/fix-test-lib-functions-report later to maint).
64
+
65
+ * The default $HOME/.gitconfig file created upon "git config --global"
66
+ that edits it had incorrectly spelled user.name and user.email
67
+ entries in it.
68
+ (merge 7e11052 oh/fix-config-default-user-name-section later to maint).
69
+
70
+ * "git cat-file bl $blob" failed to barf even though there is no
71
+ object type that is "bl".
72
+ (merge b7994af jk/type-from-string-gently later to maint).
73
+
74
+ * The usual "git diff" when seeing a file turning into a directory
75
+ showed a patchset to remove the file and create all files in the
76
+ directory, but "git diff --no-index" simply refused to work. Also,
77
+ when asked to compare a file and a directory, imitate POSIX "diff"
78
+ and compare the file with the file with the same name in the
79
+ directory, instead of refusing to run.
80
+ (merge 0615173 jc/diff-no-index-d-f later to maint).
81
+
82
+ * Code cleanups and documentation updates.
83
+ (merge 0269f96 mm/usage-log-l-can-take-regex later to maint).
84
+ (merge 64f2589 nd/t1509-chroot-test later to maint).
85
+ (merge f86a374 sb/test-bitmap-free-at-end later to maint).
86
+ (merge 05bfc7d sb/line-log-plug-pairdiff-leak later to maint).
