1 +Git v2.52 Release Notes
2 +=======================
3 +
4 +UI, Workflows & Features
5 +------------------------
6 +
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.
23 +
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).
