+=======================

+UI, Workflows & Features

+------------------------

7
+
8
+Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
9
+--------------------------------------------------------------
10
+
11
+ * string_list_split*() family of functions have been extended to
12
+ simplify common use cases.
13
+
14
+ * Arrays of strbuf is often a wrong data structure to use, and
15
+ strbuf_split*() family of functions that create them often have
16
+ better alternatives. Update several code paths and replace
17
+ strbuf_split*().
18
+
19
+ * Revision traversal limited with pathspec, like "git log dir/*",
20
+ used to ignore changed-paths Bloom filter when the pathspec
21
+ contained wildcards; now they take advantage of the filter when
22
+ they can.

24
+Fixes since v2.51
25
+-----------------
26
+
27
+Unless otherwise noted, all the changes in 2.51.X maintenance track,
28
+including security updates, are included in this release.
29
+
30
+ * During interactive rebase, using 'drop' on a merge commit lead to
31
+ an error, which was incorrect.
32
+ (merge 4d491ade8f js/rebase-i-allow-drop-on-a-merge later to maint).
33
+
34
+ * "git refs migrate" to migrate the reflog entries from a refs
35
+ backend to another had a handful of bugs squashed.
36
+ (merge 465eff81de ps/reflog-migrate-fixes later to maint).
37
+
38
+ * "git remote rename origin upstream" failed to move origin/HEAD to
39
+ upstream/HEAD when origin/HEAD is unborn and performed other
40
+ renames extremely inefficiently, which has been corrected.
41
+ (merge 16c4fa26b9 ps/remote-rename-fix later to maint).
42
+
43
+ * "git describe" has been optimized by using better data structure.
44
+ (merge 08bb69d70f rs/describe-with-prio-queue later to maint).
45
+
46
+ * "git push" had a code path that led to BUG() but it should have
47
+ been a die(), as it is a response to a usual but invalid end-user
48
+ action to attempt pushing an object that does not exist.
49
+ (merge dfbfc2221b dl/push-missing-object-error later to maint).
50
+
51
+ * Various bugs about rename handling in "ort" merge strategy have
52
+ been fixed.
53
+ (merge f6ecb603ff en/ort-rename-fixes later to maint).
54
+
55
+ * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
56
+ (merge 823d537fa7 kh/doc-git-log-markup-fix later to maint).
57
+ (merge cf7efa4f33 rj/t6137-cygwin-fix later to maint).
58
+ (merge 529a60a885 ua/t1517-short-help-tests later to maint).
