+Git v2.4.2 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v2.4.1
5
+------------------
6
+
7
+ * "git rev-list --objects $old --not --all" to see if everything that
8
+ is reachable from $old is already connected to the existing refs
9
+ was very inefficient.
10
+
11
+ * "hash-object --literally" introduced in v2.2 was not prepared to
12
+ take a really long object type name.
13
+
14
+ * "git rebase --quiet" was not quite quiet when there is nothing to
15
+ do.
16
+
17
+ * The completion for "log --decorate=" parameter value was incorrect.
18
+
19
+ * "filter-branch" corrupted commit log message that ends with an
20
+ incomplete line on platforms with some "sed" implementations that
21
+ munge such a line. Work it around by avoiding to use "sed".
22
+
23
+ * "git daemon" fails to build from the source under NO_IPV6
24
+ configuration (regression in 2.4).
25
+
26
+ * "git stash pop/apply" forgot to make sure that not just the working
27
+ tree is clean but also the index is clean. The latter is important
28
+ as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for
29
+ conflict resolution.
30
+
31
+ * We have prepended $GIT_EXEC_PATH and the path "git" is installed in
32
+ (typically "/usr/bin") to $PATH when invoking subprograms and hooks
33
+ for almost eternity, but the original use case the latter tried to
34
+ support was semi-bogus (i.e. install git to /opt/foo/git and run it
35
+ without having /opt/foo on $PATH), and more importantly it has
36
+ become less and less relevant as Git grew more mainstream (i.e. the
37
+ users would _want_ to have it on their $PATH). Stop prepending the
38
+ path in which "git" is installed to users' $PATH, as that would
39
+ interfere the command search order people depend on (e.g. they may
40
+ not like versions of programs that are unrelated to Git in /usr/bin
41
+ and want to override them by having different ones in /usr/local/bin
42
+ and have the latter directory earlier in their $PATH).
43
+
44
+Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
45
+clean-ups.
