+Git v2.12.2 Release Notes
2
+=========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v2.12.1
5
+-------------------
6
+
7
+ * "git status --porcelain" is supposed to give a stable output, but a
8
+ few strings were left as translatable by mistake.
9
+
10
+ * "Dumb http" transport used to misparse a nonsense http-alternates
11
+ response, which has been fixed.
12
+
13
+ * "git diff --quiet" relies on the size field in diff_filespec to be
14
+ correctly populated, but diff_populate_filespec() helper function
15
+ made an incorrect short-cut when asked only to populate the size
16
+ field for paths that need to go through convert_to_git() (e.g. CRLF
17
+ conversion).
18
+
19
+ * There is no need for Python only to give a few messages to the
20
+ standard error stream, but we somehow did.
21
+
22
+ * A leak in a codepath to read from a packed object in (rare) cases
23
+ has been plugged.
24
+
25
+ * "git upload-pack", which is a counter-part of "git fetch", did not
26
+ report a request for a ref that was not advertised as invalid.
27
+ This is generally not a problem (because "git fetch" will stop
28
+ before making such a request), but is the right thing to do.
29
+
30
+ * A "gc.log" file left by a backgrounded "gc --auto" disables further
31
+ automatic gc; it has been taught to run at least once a day (by
32
+ default) by ignoring a stale "gc.log" file that is too old.
33
+
34
+ * "git remote rm X", when a branch has remote X configured as the
35
+ value of its branch.*.remote, tried to remove branch.*.remote and
36
+ branch.*.merge and failed if either is unset.
37
+
38
+ * A caller of tempfile API that uses stdio interface to write to
39
+ files may ignore errors while writing, which is detected when
40
+ tempfile is closed (with a call to ferror()). By that time, the
41
+ original errno that may have told us what went wrong is likely to
42
+ be long gone and was overwritten by an irrelevant value.
43
+ close_tempfile() now resets errno to EIO to make errno at least
44
+ predictable.
45
+
46
+ * "git show-branch" expected there were only very short branch names
47
+ in the repository and used a fixed-length buffer to hold them
48
+ without checking for overflow.
49
+
50
+ * The code that parses header fields in the commit object has been
51
+ updated for (micro)performance and code hygiene.
52
+
53
+ * A test that creates a confusing branch whose name is HEAD has been
54
+ corrected not to do so.
55
+
56
+ * "Cc:" on the trailer part does not have to conform to RFC strictly,
57
+ unlike in the e-mail header. "git send-email" has been updated to
58
+ ignore anything after '>' when picking addresses, to allow non-address
59
+ cruft like " # stable 4.4" after the address.
60
+
61
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
