+Git v2.13.1 Release Notes
2
+=========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v2.13
5
+-----------------
6
+
7
+ * The Web interface to gmane news archive is long gone, even though
8
+ the articles are still accessible via NTTP. Replace the links with
9
+ ones to public-inbox.org. Because their message identification is
10
+ based on the actual message-id, it is likely that it will be easier
11
+ to migrate away from it if/when necessary.
12
+
13
+ * Update tests to pass under GETTEXT_POISON (a mechanism to ensure
14
+ that output strings that should not be translated are not
15
+ translated by mistake), and tell TravisCI to run them.
16
+
17
+ * Setting "log.decorate=false" in the configuration file did not take
18
+ effect in v2.13, which has been corrected.
19
+
20
+ * An earlier update to test 7400 needed to be skipped on CYGWIN.
21
+
22
+ * Git sometimes gives an advice in a rhetorical question that does
23
+ not require an answer, which can confuse new users and non native
24
+ speakers. Attempt to rephrase them.
25
+
26
+ * "git read-tree -m" (no tree-ish) gave a nonsense suggestion "use
27
+ --empty if you want to clear the index". With "-m", such a request
28
+ will still fail anyway, as you'd need to name at least one tree-ish
29
+ to be merged.
30
+
31
+ * The codepath in "git am" that is used when running "git rebase"
32
+ leaked memory held for the log message of the commits being rebased.
33
+
34
+ * "pack-objects" can stream a slice of an existing packfile out when
35
+ the pack bitmap can tell that the reachable objects are all needed
36
+ in the output, without inspecting individual objects. This
37
+ strategy however would not work well when "--local" and other
38
+ options are in use, and need to be disabled.
39
+
40
+ * Clarify documentation for include.path and includeIf.<condition>.path
41
+ configuration variables.
42
+
43
+ * Tag objects, which are not reachable from any ref, that point at
44
+ missing objects were mishandled by "git gc" and friends (they
45
+ should silently be ignored instead)
46
+
47
+ * A few http:// links that are redirected to https:// in the
48
+ documentation have been updated to https:// links.
49
+
50
+ * Make sure our tests would pass when the sources are checked out
51
+ with "platform native" line ending convention by default on
52
+ Windows. Some "text" files out tests use and the test scripts
53
+ themselves that are meant to be run with /bin/sh, ought to be
54
+ checked out with eol=LF even on Windows.
55
+
56
+ * Fix memory leaks pointed out by Coverity (and people).
57
+
58
+ * The receive-pack program now makes sure that the push certificate
59
+ records the same set of push options used for pushing.
60
+
61
+ * "git cherry-pick" and other uses of the sequencer machinery
62
+ mishandled a trailer block whose last line is an incomplete line.
63
+ This has been fixed so that an additional sign-off etc. are added
64
+ after completing the existing incomplete line.
65
+
66
+ * The shell completion script (in contrib/) learned "git stash" has
67
+ a new "push" subcommand.
68
+
69
+Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
