+Git v2.4.7 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v2.4.6
5
+------------------
6
+
7
+ * A minor regression to "git fsck" in v2.2 era was fixed; it
8
+ complained about a body-less tag object when it lacked a
9
+ separator empty line after its header to separate it with a
10
+ non-existent body.
11
+
12
+ * We used to ask libCURL to use the most secure authentication method
13
+ available when talking to an HTTP proxy only when we were told to
14
+ talk to one via configuration variables. We now ask libCURL to
15
+ always use the most secure authentication method, because the user
16
+ can tell libCURL to use an HTTP proxy via an environment variable
17
+ without using configuration variables.
18
+
19
+ * When you say "!<ENTER>" while running say "git log", you'd confuse
20
+ yourself in the resulting shell, that may look as if you took
21
+ control back to the original shell you spawned "git log" from but
22
+ that isn't what is happening. To that new shell, we leaked
23
+ GIT_PAGER_IN_USE environment variable that was meant as a local
24
+ communication between the original "Git" and subprocesses that was
25
+ spawned by it after we launched the pager, which caused many
26
+ "interesting" things to happen, e.g. "git diff | cat" still paints
27
+ its output in color by default.
28
+
29
+ Stop leaking that environment variable to the pager's half of the
30
+ fork; we only need it on "Git" side when we spawn the pager.
31
+
32
+ * Avoid possible ssize_t to int truncation.
33
+
34
+ * "git config" failed to update the configuration file when the
35
+ underlying filesystem is incapable of renaming a file that is still
36
+ open.
37
+
38
+ * A minor bugfix when pack bitmap is used with "rev-list --count".
39
+
40
+ * An ancient test framework enhancement to allow color was not
41
+ entirely correct; this makes it work even when tput needs to read
42
+ from the ~/.terminfo under the user's real HOME directory.
43
+
44
+ * Fix a small bug in our use of umask() return value.
45
+
46
+ * "git rebase" did not exit with failure when format-patch it invoked
47
+ failed for whatever reason.
48
+
49
+ * Disable "have we lost a race with competing repack?" check while
50
+ receiving a huge object transfer that runs index-pack.
51
+
52
+Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
53
+clean-ups.
