Log message: git: update to 2.36.0 Git 2.36 Release Notes ====================== Updates since Git 2.35 ---------------------- Backward compatibility warts * "git name-rev --stdin" has been deprecated and issues a warning when used; use "git name-rev --annotate-stdin" instead. * "git clone --filter=... --recurse-submodules" only makes the top-level a partial clone, while submodules are fully cloned. This behaviour is changed to pass the same filter down to the submodules. * With the fixes for CVE-2022-24765 that are common with versions of Git 2.30.4, 2.31.3, 2.32.2, 2.33.3, 2.34.3, and 2.35.3, Git has been taught not to recognise repositories owned by other users, in order to avoid getting affected by their config files and hooks. You can list the path to the safe/trusted repositories that may be owned by others on a multi-valued configuration variable `safe.directory` to override this behaviour, or use '*' to declare that you trust anything. Note to those who build from the source * Since Git 2.31, our source assumed that the compiler you use to build Git supports variadic macros, with an easy-to-use escape hatch to allow compilation without variadic macros with an request to report that you had to use the escape hatch to the list. Because we haven't heard from anybody who actually needed to use the escape hatch, it has been removed, making support of variadic macros a hard requirement. UI, Workflows & Features * Assorted updates to "git cat-file", especially "-h". * The command line completion (in contrib/) learns to complete arguments to give to "git sparse-checkout" command. * "git log --remerge-diff" shows the difference from mechanical merge result and the result that is actually recorded in a merge commit. * "git log" and friends learned an option --exclude-first-parent-only to propagate UNINTERESTING bit down only along the first-parent chain, just like --first-parent option shows commits that lack the UNINTERESTING bit only along the first-parent chain. * The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to complete all Git subcommands, including the ones that are normally hidden, when GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS is used. * "git branch" learned the "--recurse-submodules" option. * A user can forget to make a script file executable before giving it to "git bisect run". In such a case, all tests will exit with 126 or 127 error codes, even on revisions that are marked as good. Try to recognize this situation and stop iteration early. * When "index-pack" dies due to incoming data exceeding the maximum allowed input size, include the value of the limit in the error message. * The error message given by "git switch HEAD~4" has been clarified to suggest the "--detach" option that is required. * In sparse-checkouts, files mis-marked as missing from the working tree could lead to later problems. Such files were hard to discover, and harder to correct. Automatically detecting and correcting the marking of such files has been added to avoid these problems. * "git cat-file" learns "--batch-command" mode, which is a more flexible interface than the existing "--batch" or \ "--batch-check" modes, to allow different kinds of inquiries made. * The level of verbose output from the ort backend during inner merge has been aligned to that of the recursive backend. * "git remote rename A B", depending on the number of remote-tracking refs involved, takes long time renaming them. The command has been taught to show progress bar while making the user wait. * Bundle file format gets extended to allow a partial bundle, filtered by similar criteria you would give when making a partial/lazy clone. * A new built-in userdiff driver for kotlin has been added. * "git repack" learned a new configuration to disable triggering of age-old "update-server-info" command, which is rarely useful these days. * "git stash" does not allow subcommands it internally runs as its implementation detail, except for "git reset", to emit messages; now "git reset" part has also been squelched. * "git ls-tree" learns "--oid-only" option, similar to \ "--name-only", and more generalized "--format" option. * "git fetch --refetch" learned to fetch everything without telling the other side what we already have, which is useful when you cannot trust what you have in the local object store. * "git branch" gives hint when branch tracking cannot be established because fetch refspecs from multiple remote repositories overlap. * "git worktree list --porcelain" did not c-quote pathnames and lock reasons with unsafe bytes correctly, which is worked around by introducing NUL terminated output format with "-z". Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. * "git apply" (ab)used the util pointer of the string-list to keep track of how each symbolic link needs to be handled, which has been simplified by using strset. * Fix a hand-rolled alloca() imitation that may have violated alignment requirement of data being sorted in compatibility implementation of qsort_s() and stable qsort(). * Use the parse-options API in "git reflog" command. * The conditional inclusion mechanism of configuration files using "[includeIf <condition>]" learns to base its decision on the URL of the remote repository the repository interacts with. (merge 399b198489 jt/conditional-config-on-remote-url later to maint). * "git name-rev --stdin" does not behave like usual "--stdin" at all. Start the process of renaming it to "--annotate-stdin". (merge a2585719b3 jc/name-rev-stdin later to maint). * "git update-index", "git checkout-index", and "git \ clean" are taught to work better with the sparse checkout feature. * Use an internal call to reset_head() helper function instead of spawning "git checkout" in "rebase", and update code \ paths that are involved in the change. * Messages "ort" merge backend prepares while dealing with conflicted paths were unnecessarily confusing since it did not differentiate inner merges and outer merges. * Small modernization of the rerere-train script (in contrib/). * Use designated initializers we started using in mid 2017 in more parts of the codebase that are relatively quiescent. * Improve failure case behaviour of xdiff library when memory allocation fails. * General clean-up in reftable implementation, including clarification of the API documentation, tightening the code to honor documented length limit, etc. * Remove the escape hatch we added when we introduced the weather balloon to use variadic macros unconditionally, to make it official that we now have a hard dependency on the feature. * Makefile refactoring with a bit of suffixes rule stripping to optimize the runtime overhead. * "git stash drop" is reimplemented as an internal call to reflog_delete() function, instead of invoking "git reflog delete" via run_command() API. * Count string_list items in size_t, not "unsigned int". * The single-key interactive operation used by "git add -p" has been made more robust. * Remove unneeded <meta http-equiv=content-type...> from gitweb output. * "git name-rev" learned to use the generation numbers when setting the lower bound of searching commits used to explain the revision, when available, instead of committer time. * Replace core.fsyncObjectFiles with two new configuration variables, core.fsync and core.fsyncMethod. * Updates to refs traditionally weren't fsync'ed, but we can configure using core.fsync variable to do so. * "git reflog" command now uses parse-options API to parse its command line options. Fixes since v2.35 ----------------- * "rebase" and "stash" in secondary worktrees are broken in Git 2.35.0, which has been corrected. * "git pull --rebase" ignored the rebase.autostash configuration variable when the remote history is a descendant of our history, which has been corrected. (merge 3013d98d7a pb/pull-rebase-autostash-fix later to maint). * "git update-index --refresh" has been taught to deal better with racy timestamps (just like "git status" already does). (merge 2ede073fd2 ms/update-index-racy later to maint). * Avoid tests that are run under GIT_TRACE2 set from failing unnecessarily. (merge 944d808e42 js/test-unset-trace2-parents later to maint). * The merge-ort misbehaved when merge.renameLimit configuration is set too low and failed to find all renames. (merge 9ae39fef7f en/merge-ort-restart-optim-fix later to maint). * We explain that revs come first before the pathspec among command line arguments, but did not spell out that dashed options come before other args, which has been corrected. (merge c11f95010c tl/doc-cli-options-first later to maint). * "git add -p" rewritten in C regressed hunk splitting in some cases, which has been corrected. (merge 7008ddc645 pw/add-p-hunk-split-fix later to maint). * "git fetch --negotiate-only" is an internal command used by "git push" to figure out which part of our history is missing from the other side. It should never recurse into submodules even when fetch.recursesubmodules configuration variable is set, nor it should trigger "gc". The code has been tightened up to ensure it only does common ancestry discovery and nothing else. (merge de4eaae63a gc/fetch-negotiate-only-early-return later to maint). * The code path that verifies signatures made with ssh were made to work better on a system with CRLF line endings. (merge caeef01ea7 fs/ssh-signing-crlf later to maint). * "git sparse-checkout init" failed to write into $GIT_DIR/info directory when the repository was created without one, which has been corrected to auto-create it. (merge 7f44842ac1 jt/sparse-checkout-leading-dir-fix later to maint). * Cloning from a repository that does not yet have any branches or tags but has other refs resulted in a "remote transport reported error", which has been corrected. (merge dccea605b6 jt/clone-not-quite-empty later to maint). * Mark in various places in the code that the sparse index and the split index features are mutually incompatible. (merge 451b66c533 js/sparse-vs-split-index later to maint). * Update the logic to compute alignment requirement for our mem-pool. (merge e38bcc66d8 jc/mem-pool-alignment later to maint). * Pick a better random number generator and use it when we prepare temporary filenames. (merge 47efda967c bc/csprng-mktemps later to maint). * Update the contributor-facing documents on proposed log messages. (merge cdba0295b0 jc/doc-log-messages later to maint). * When "git fetch --prune" failed to prune the refs it wanted to prune, the command issued error messages but exited with exit status 0, which has been corrected. (merge c9e04d905e tg/fetch-prune-exit-code-fix later to maint). * Problems identified by Coverity in the reftable code have been corrected. (merge 01033de49f hn/reftable-coverity-fixes later to maint). * A bug that made multi-pack bitmap and the object order out-of-sync, making the .midx data corrupt, has been fixed. (merge f8b60cf99b tb/midx-bitmap-corruption-fix later to maint). * The build procedure has been taught to notice older version of zlib and enable our replacement uncompress2() automatically. (merge 07564773c2 ab/auto-detect-zlib-compress2 later to maint). * Interaction between fetch.negotiationAlgorithm and feature.experimental configuration variables has been corrected. (merge 714edc620c en/fetch-negotiation-default-fix later to maint). * "git diff --diff-filter=aR" is now parsed correctly. (merge 75408ca949 js/diff-filter-negation-fix later to maint). * When "git subtree" wants to create a merge, it used "git \ merge" and let it be affected by end-user's "merge.ff" configuration, which has been corrected. (merge 9158a3564a tk/subtree-merge-not-ff-only later to maint). * Unlike "git apply", "git patch-id" did not handle patches with hunks that has only 1 line in either preimage or postimage, which has been corrected. (merge 757e75c81e jz/patch-id-hunk-header-parsing-fix later to maint). * "receive-pack" checks if it will do any ref updates (various conditions could reject a push) before received objects are taken out of the temporary directory used for quarantine purposes, so that a push that is known-to-fail will not leave crufts that a future "gc" needs to clean up. (merge 5407764069 cb/clear-quarantine-early-on-all-ref-update-errors later to \ maint). * When there is no object to write .bitmap file for, "git multi-pack-index" triggered an error, instead of just skipping, which has been corrected. (merge eb57277ba3 tb/midx-no-bitmap-for-no-objects later to maint). * "git cmd -h" outside a repository should error out cleanly for many commands, but instead it hit a BUG(), which has been corrected. (merge 87ad07d735 js/short-help-outside-repo-fix later to maint). * "working tree" and "per-worktree ref" were in glossary, but "worktree" itself wasn't, which has been corrected. (merge 2df5387ed0 jc/glossary-worktree later to maint). * L10n support for a few error messages. (merge 3d3c23b3a7 bs/forbid-i18n-of-protocol-token-in-fetch-pack later to maint). * Test modernization. (merge d4fe066e4b sy/t0001-use-path-is-helper later to maint). * "git log --graph --graph" used to leak a graph structure, and there was no way to countermand "--graph" that appear earlier on the command line. A "--no-graph" option has been added and resource leakage has been plugged. * Error output given in response to an ambiguous object name has been improved. (merge 3a73c1dfaf ab/ambiguous-object-name later to maint). * "git sparse-checkout" wants to work with per-worktree configuration, but did not work well in a worktree attached to a bare repository. (merge 3ce1138272 ds/sparse-checkout-requires-per-worktree-config later to maint). * Setting core.untrackedCache to true failed to add the untracked cache extension to the index. * Workaround we have for versions of PCRE2 before their version 10.36 were in effect only for their versions newer than 10.36 by mistake, which has been corrected. (merge 97169fc361 rs/pcre-invalid-utf8-fix-fix later to maint). * Document Taylor as a new member of Git PLC at SFC. Welcome. (merge e8d56ca863 tb/coc-plc-update later to maint). * "git checkout -b branch/with/multi/level/name && git stash" only recorded the last level component of the branch name, which has been corrected. * Check the return value from parse_tree_indirect() to turn segfaults into calls to die(). (merge 8d2eaf649a gc/parse-tree-indirect-errors later to maint). * Newer version of GPGSM changed its output in a backward incompatible way to break our code that parses its output. It also added more processes our tests need to kill when cleaning up. Adjustments have been made to accommodate these changes. (merge b0b70d54c4 fs/gpgsm-update later to maint). * The untracked cache newly computed weren't written back to the on-disk index file when there is no other change to the index, which has been corrected. * "git config -h" did not describe the "--type" option \ correctly. (merge 5445124fad mf/fix-type-in-config-h later to maint). * The way generation number v2 in the commit-graph files are (not) handled has been corrected. (merge 6dbf4b8172 ds/commit-graph-gen-v2-fixes later to maint). * The method to trigger malloc check used in our tests no longer work with newer versions of glibc. (merge baedc59543 ep/test-malloc-check-with-glibc-2.34 later to maint). * When "git fetch --recurse-submodules" grabbed submodule commits that would be needed to recursively check out newly fetched commits in the superproject, it only paid attention to submodules that are in the current checkout of the superproject. We now do so for all submodules that have been run "git submodule init" on. * "git rebase $base $non_branch_commit", when $base is an ancestor or the $non_branch_commit, modified the current branch, which has been corrected. * When "shallow" information is updated, we forgot to update the in-core equivalent, which has been corrected. * When creating a loose object file, we didn't report the exact filename of the file we failed to fsync, even though the information was readily available, which has been corrected. * "git am" can read from the standard input when no mailbox is given on the command line, but the end-user gets no indication when it happens, making Git appear stuck. (merge 7b20af6a06 jc/mailsplit-warn-on-tty later to maint). * "git mv" failed to refresh the cached stat information for the entry it moved. (merge b7f9130a06 vd/mv-refresh-stat later to maint). |

Log message: git: updated to 2.35.0 Git 2.35 Release Notes ====================== Updates since Git 2.34 ---------------------- Backward compatibility warts * "_" is now treated as any other URL-valid characters in an URL when matching the per-URL configuration variable names. * The color palette used by "git grep" has been updated to match that of GNU grep. Note to those who build from the source * You may need to define NO_UNCOMPRESS2 Makefile macro if you build with zlib older than 1.2.9. * If your compiler cannot grok C99, the build will fail. See the instruction at the beginning of git-compat-util.h if this happens to you. UI, Workflows & Features * "git status --porcelain=v2" now show the number of stash entries with --show-stash like the normal output does. * "git stash" learned the "--staged" option to stash away \ what has been added to the index (and nothing else). * "git var GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH" is a way to see what name is used for the newly created branch if "git init" is run. * Various operating modes of "git reset" have been made to work better with the sparse index. * "git submodule deinit" for a submodule whose .git metadata directory is embedded in its working tree refused to work, until the submodule gets converted to use the "absorbed" form where the metadata directory is stored in superproject, and a gitfile at the top-level of the working tree of the submodule points at it. The command is taught to convert such submodules to the absorbed form as needed. * The completion script (in contrib/) learns that the "--date" option of commands from the "git log" family takes "human" and "auto" as valid values. * "Zealous diff3" style of merge conflict presentation has been added. * The "git log --format=%(describe)" placeholder has been extended to allow passing selected command-line options to the underlying "git describe" command. * "default" and "reset" have been added to our color palette. * The cryptographic signing using ssh keys can specify literal keys for keytypes whose name do not begin with the "ssh-" prefix by using the "key::" prefix mechanism (e.g. \ "key::ecdsa-sha2-nistp256"). * "git fetch" without the "--update-head-ok" option ought \ to protect a checked out branch from getting updated, to prevent the working tree that checks it out to go out of sync. The code was written before the use of "git worktree" got widespread, and only checked the branch that was checked out in the current worktree, which has been updated. * "git name-rev" has been tweaked to give output that is shorter and easier to understand. * "git apply" has been taught to ignore a message without a patch with the "--allow-empty" option. It also learned to honor the "--quiet" option given from the command line. * The "init" and "set" subcommands in "git \ sparse-checkout" have been unified for a better user experience and performance. * Many git commands that deal with working tree files try to remove a directory that becomes empty (i.e. "git switch" from a branch that has the directory to another branch that does not would attempt remove all files in the directory and the directory itself). This drops users into an unfamiliar situation if the command was run in a subdirectory that becomes subject to removal due to the command. The commands have been taught to keep an empty directory if it is the directory they were started in to avoid surprising users. * "git am" learns "--empty=(stop|drop|keep)" option to \ tweak what is done to a piece of e-mail without a patch in it. * The default merge message prepared by "git merge" records the name of the current branch; the name can be overridden with a new option to allow users to pretend a merge is made on a different branch. * The way "git p4" shows file sizes in its output has been updated to use human-readable units. * "git -c branch.autosetupmerge=inherit branch new old" makes \ "new" to have the same upstream as the "old" branch, instead of marking "old" itself as its upstream. Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. * The use of errno as a means to carry the nature of error in the ref API implementation has been reworked and reduced. * Teach and encourage first-time contributors to this project to state the base commit when they submit their topic. * The command line completion for "git send-email" options have been tweaked to make it easier to keep it in sync with the command itself. * Ensure that the sparseness of the in-core index matches the index.sparse configuration specified by the repository immediately after the on-disk index file is read. * Code clean-up to eventually allow information on remotes defined for an arbitrary repository to be read. * Build optimization. * Tighten code for testing pack-bitmap. * Weather balloon to break people with compilers that do not support C99. * The "reftable" backend for the refs API, without integrating into the refs subsystem, has been added. * More tests are marked as leak-free. * The test framework learns to list unsatisfied test prerequisites, and optionally error out when prerequisites that are expected to be satisfied are not. * The default setting for trace2 event nesting was too low to cause test failures, which is worked around by bumping it up in the test framework. * Drop support for TravisCI and update test workflows at GitHub. * Many tests that used to need GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME mechanism to force "git" to use 'master' as the default name for the initial branch no longer need it; the use of the mechanism from them have been removed. * Allow running our tests while disabling fsync. * Document the parameters given to the reflog entry iterator callback functions. (merge e6e94f34b2 jc/reflog-iterator-callback-doc later to maint). * The test helper for refs subsystem learned to write bogus and/or nonexistent object name to refs to simulate error situations we want to test Git in. * "diff --histogram" optimization. * Weather balloon to find compilers that do not grok variable declaration in the for() loop. * diff and blame commands have been taught to work better with sparse index. * The chainlint test script linter in the test suite has been updated. * The DEVELOPER=yes build uses -std=gnu99 now. * "git format-patch" uses a single rev_info instance and then exits. Mark the structure with UNLEAK() macro to squelch leak sanitizer. * New interface into the tmp-objdir API to help in-core use of the quarantine feature. * Broken &&-chains in the test scripts have been corrected. * The RCS keyword substitution in "git p4" used to be done assuming that the contents are UTF-8 text, which can trigger decoding errors. We now treat the contents as a bytestring for robustness and correctness. * The conditions to choose different definitions of the FLEX_ARRAY macro for vendor compilers has been simplified to make it easier to maintain. * Correctness and performance update to "diff --color-moved" feature. * "git upload-pack" (the other side of "git fetch") used a \ 8kB buffer but most of its payload came on 64kB "packets". The buffer size has been enlarged so that such a packet fits. * "git fetch" and "git pull" are now declared sparse-index \ clean. Also "git ls-files" learns the "--sparse" option to help \ debugging. * Similar message templates have been consolidated so that translators need to work on fewer number of messages. Fixes since v2.34 ----------------- * "git grep" looking in a blob that has non-UTF8 payload was completely broken when linked with certain versions of PCREv2 library in the latest release. * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. * "git pull" with any strategy when the other side is behind us should succeed as it is a no-op, but doesn't. * An earlier change in 2.34.0 caused JGit application (that abused GIT_EDITOR mechanism when invoking "git config") to get stuck with a SIGTTOU signal; it has been reverted. * An earlier change that broke .gitignore matching has been reverted. * Things like "git -c branch.sort=bogus branch new HEAD", i.e. the operation modes of the "git branch" command that do not need the sort key information, no longer errors out by seeing a bogus sort key. (merge 98e7ab6d42 jc/fix-ref-sorting-parse later to maint). * The compatibility implementation for unsetenv(3) were written to mimic ancient, non-POSIX, variant seen in an old glibc; it has been changed to return an integer to match the more modern era. (merge a38989bd5b jc/unsetenv-returns-an-int later to maint). * The clean/smudge conversion code path has been prepared to better work on platforms where ulong is narrower than size_t. (merge 596b5e77c9 mc/clean-smudge-with-llp64 later to maint). * Redact the path part of packfile URI that appears in the trace output. (merge 0ba558ffb1 if/redact-packfile-uri later to maint). * CI has been taught to catch some Unicode directional formatting sequence that can be used in certain mischief. (merge 0e7696c64d js/ci-no-directional-formatting later to maint). * The "--date=format:<strftime>" gained a workaround for the lack of system support for a non-local timezone to handle "%s" placeholder. (merge 9b591b9403 jk/strbuf-addftime-seconds-since-epoch later to maint). * The "merge" subcommand of "git jump" (in contrib/) \ silently ignored pathspec and other parameters. (merge 67ba13e5a4 jk/jump-merge-with-pathspec later to maint). * The code to decode the length of packed object size has been corrected. (merge 34de5b8eac jt/pack-header-lshift-overflow later to maint). * The advice message given by "git pull" when the user hasn't made a choice between merge and rebase still said that the merge is the default, which no longer is the case. This has been corrected. (merge 71076d0edd ah/advice-pull-has-no-preference-between-rebase-and-merge \ later to maint). * "git fetch", when received a bad packfile, can fail with SIGPIPE. This wasn't wrong per-se, but we now detect the situation and fail in a more predictable way. (merge 2a4aed42ec jk/fetch-pack-avoid-sigpipe-to-index-pack later to maint). * The function to cull a child process and determine the exit status had two separate code paths for normal callers and callers in a signal handler, and the latter did not yield correct value when the child has caught a signal. The handling of the exit status has been unified for these two code paths. An existing test with flakiness has also been corrected. (merge 5263e22cba jk/t7006-sigpipe-tests-fix later to maint). * When a non-existent program is given as the pager, we tried to reuse an uninitialized child_process structure and crashed, which has been fixed. (merge f917f57f40 em/missing-pager later to maint). * The single-key-input mode in "git add -p" had some code to handle keys that generate a sequence of input via ReadKey(), which did not handle end-of-file correctly, which has been fixed. (merge fc8a8126df cb/add-p-single-key-fix later to maint). * "git rebase -x" added an unnecessary 'exec' instructions before 'noop', which has been corrected. (merge cc9dcdee61 en/rebase-x-fix later to maint). * When the "git push" command is killed while the receiving end is trying to report what happened to the ref update proposals, the latter used to die, due to SIGPIPE. The code now ignores SIGPIPE to increase our chances to run the post-receive hook after it happens. (merge d34182b9e3 rj/receive-pack-avoid-sigpipe-during-status-reporting later \ to maint). * "git worktree add" showed "Preparing worktree" message to the standard output stream, but when it failed, the message from die() went to the standard error stream. Depending on the order the stdio streams are flushed at the program end, this resulted in confusing output. It has been corrected by sending all the chatty messages to the standard error stream. (merge b50252484f es/worktree-chatty-to-stderr later to maint). * Coding guideline document has been updated to clarify what goes to standard error in our system. (merge e258eb4800 es/doc-stdout-vs-stderr later to maint). * The sparse-index/sparse-checkout feature had a bug in its use of the matching code to determine which path is in or outside the sparse checkout patterns. (merge 8c5de0d265 ds/sparse-deep-pattern-checkout-fix later to maint). * "git rebase -x" by mistake started exporting the GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables when the command was rewritten in C, which has been corrected. (merge 434e0636db en/rebase-x-wo-git-dir-env later to maint). * When "git log" implicitly enabled the "decoration" processing without being explicitly asked with "--decorate" option, it failed to read and honor the settings given by the "--decorate-refs" option. * "git fetch --set-upstream" did not check if there is a current branch, leading to a segfault when it is run on a detached HEAD, which has been corrected. (merge 17baeaf82d ab/fetch-set-upstream-while-detached later to maint). * Among some code paths that ask an yes/no question, only one place gave a prompt that looked different from the others, which has been updated to match what the others create. (merge 0fc8ed154c km/help-prompt-fix later to maint). * "git log --invert-grep --author=<name>" used to exclude commits written by the given author, but now "--invert-grep" only affects the matches made by the "--grep=<pattern>" option. (merge 794c000267 rs/log-invert-grep-with-headers later to maint). * "git grep --perl-regexp" failed to match UTF-8 characters with wildcard when the pattern consists only of ASCII letters, which has been corrected. (merge 32e3e8bc55 rs/pcre2-utf later to maint). * Certain sparse-checkout patterns that are valid in non-cone mode led to segfault in cone mode, which has been corrected. * Use of certain "git rev-list" options with "git fast-export" created nonsense results (the worst two of which being "--reverse" and "--invert-grep --grep=<foo>"). The use of \ "--first-parent" is made to behave a bit more sensible than before. (merge 726a228dfb ws/fast-export-with-revision-options later to maint). * Perf tests were run with end-user's shell, but it has been corrected to use the shell specified by $TEST_SHELL_PATH. (merge 9ccab75608 ja/perf-use-specified-shell later to maint). * Fix dependency rules to generate hook-list.h header file. (merge d3fd1a6667 ab/makefile-hook-list-dependency-fix later to maint). * "git stash" by default triggers its "push" action, but its implementation also made "git stash -h" to show short help only for "git stash push", which has been corrected. (merge ca7990cea5 ab/do-not-limit-stash-help-to-push later to maint). * "git apply --3way" bypasses the attempt to do a three-way application in more cases to address the regression caused by the recent change to use direct application as a fallback.

Log message: git: updated to 2.34.1 Git v2.34.1 Release Notes ========================= This release is primarily to fix a handful of regressions in Git 2.34. Fixes since v2.34 ----------------- * "git grep" looking in a blob that has non-UTF8 payload was completely broken when linked with certain versions of PCREv2 library in the latest release. * "git pull" with any strategy when the other side is behind us should succeed as it is a no-op, but doesn't. * An earlier change in 2.34.0 caused JGit application (that abused GIT_EDITOR mechanism when invoking "git config") to get stuck with a SIGTTOU signal; it has been reverted. * An earlier change that broke .gitignore matching has been reverted. * SubmittingPatches document gained a syntactically incorrect mark-up, which has been corrected. |

Log message: git: updated to 2.34.0 Git 2.34 Release Notes ====================== Updates since Git 2.33 ---------------------- Backward compatibility notes * The "--preserve-merges" option of "git rebase" has been \ removed. UI, Workflows & Features * Pathname expansion (like "~username/") learned a way to specify a location relative to Git installation (e.g. its $sharedir which is $(prefix)/share), with "%(prefix)". * The `ort` strategy is used instead of `recursive` as the default merge strategy. * The userdiff pattern for "java" language has been updated. * "git rebase" by default skips changes that are equivalent to commits that are already in the history the branch is rebased onto; give messages when this happens to let the users be aware of skipped commits, and also teach them how to tell "rebase" to keep duplicated changes. * The advice message that "git cherry-pick" gives when it asks conflicted replay of a commit to be resolved by the end user has been updated. * After "git clone --recurse-submodules", all submodules are cloned but they are not by default recursed into by other commands. With submodule.stickyRecursiveClone configuration set, submodule.recurse configuration is set to true in a repository created by "clone" with "--recurse-submodules" option. * The logic for auto-correction of misspelt subcommands learned to go interactive when the help.autocorrect configuration variable is set to 'prompt'. * "git maintenance" scheduler learned to use systemd timers as a possible backend. * "git diff --submodule=diff" showed failure from run_command() when trying to run diff inside a submodule, when the user manually removes the submodule directory. * "git bundle unbundle" learned to show progress display. * In cone mode, the sparse-index code path learned to remove ignored files (like build artifacts) outside the sparse cone, allowing the entire directory outside the sparse cone to be removed, which is especially useful when the sparse patterns change. * Taking advantage of the CGI interface, http-backend has been updated to enable protocol v2 automatically when the other side asks for it. * The credential-cache helper has been adjusted to Windows. * The error in "git help no-such-git-command" is handled better. * The unicode character width table (used for output alignment) has been updated. * The ref iteration code used to optionally allow dangling refs to be shown, which has been tightened up. * "git add", "git mv", and "git rm" have been \ adjusted to avoid updating paths outside of the sparse-checkout definition unless the user specifies a "--sparse" option. * "git repack" has been taught to generate multi-pack reachability bitmaps. * "git fsck" has been taught to report mismatch between expected and actual types of an object better. * In addition to GnuPG, ssh public crypto can be used for object and push-cert signing. Note that this feature cannot be used with ssh-keygen from OpenSSH 8.7, whose support for it is broken. Avoid using it unless you update to OpenSSH 8.8. * "git log --grep=string --author=name" learns to highlight hits just like "git grep string" does. Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. * "git bisect" spawned "git show-branch" only to \ pretty-print the title of the commit after checking out the next version to be tested; this has been rewritten in C. * "git add" can work better with the sparse index. * Support for ancient versions of cURL library (pre 7.19.4) has been dropped. * A handful of tests that assumed implementation details of files backend for refs have been cleaned up. * trace2 logs learned to show parent process name to see in what context Git was invoked. * Loading of ref tips to prepare for common ancestry negotiation in "git fetch-pack" has been optimized by taking advantage of the commit graph when available. * Remind developers that the userdiff patterns should be kept simple and permissive, assuming that the contents they apply are always syntactically correct. * The current implementation of GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is broken in that checking for the lack of a prerequisite would not work. Avoid the use of "if ! test_have_prereq X" in a test script. * The revision traversal API has been optimized by taking advantage of the commit-graph, when available, to determine if a commit is reachable from any of the existing refs. * "git fetch --quiet" optimization to avoid useless computation of info that will never be displayed. * Callers from older advice_config[] based API has been updated to use the newer advice_if_enabled() and advice_enabled() API. * Teach "test_pause" and "debug" helpers to allow using the \ HOME and TERM environment variables the user usually uses. * "make INSTALL_STRIP=-s install" allows the installation step to use "install -s" to strip the binaries as they get installed. * Code that handles large number of refs in the "git fetch" code path has been optimized. * The reachability bitmap file used to be generated only for a single pack, but now we've learned to generate bitmaps for history that span across multiple packfiles. * The code to make "git grep" recurse into submodules has been updated to migrate away from the "add submodule's object store as an alternate object store" mechanism (which is suboptimal). * The tracing of process ancestry information has been enhanced. * Reduce number of write(2) system calls while sending the ref advertisement. * Update the build procedure to use the "-pedantic" build when DEVELOPER makefile macro is in effect. * Large part of "git submodule add" gets rewritten in C. * The run-command API has been updated so that the callers can easily ask the file descriptors open for packfiles to be closed immediately before spawning commands that may trigger auto-gc. * An oddball OPTION_ARGUMENT feature has been removed from the parse-options API. * The mergesort implementation used to sort linked list has been optimized. * Remove external declaration of functions that no longer exist. * "git multi-pack-index write --bitmap" learns to propagate the hashcache from original bitmap to resulting bitmap. * CI learns to run the leak sanitizer builds. * "git grep --recurse-submodules" takes trees and blobs from the submodule repository, but the textconv settings when processing a blob from the submodule is not taken from the submodule repository. A test is added to demonstrate the issue, without fixing it. * Teach "git help -c" into helping the command line completion of configuration variables. * When "git cmd -h" shows more than one line of usage text (e.g. the cmd subcommand may take sub-sub-command), parse-options API learned to align these lines, even across i18n/l10n. * Prevent "make sparse" from running for the source files that haven't been modified. * The code path to write a new version of .midx multi-pack index files has learned to release the mmaped memory holding the current version of .midx before removing them from the disk, as some platforms do not allow removal of a file that still has mapping. * A new feature has been added to abort early in the test framework. Fixes since v2.33 ----------------- * Input validation of "git pack-objects --stdin-packs" has been corrected. * Bugfix for common ancestor negotiation recently introduced in "git push" code path. * "git pull" had various corner cases that were not well thought out around its --rebase backend, e.g. "git pull --ff-only" did not stop but went ahead and rebased when the history on other side is not a descendant of our history. The series tries to fix them up. * "git apply" miscounted the bytes and failed to read to the end of binary hunks. * "git range-diff" code clean-up. * "git commit --fixup" now works with "--edit" again, after \ it was broken in v2.32. * Use upload-artifacts v1 (instead of v2) for 32-bit linux, as the new version has a blocker bug for that architecture. * Checking out all the paths from HEAD during the last conflicted step in "git rebase" and continuing would cause the step to be skipped (which is expected), but leaves MERGE_MSG file behind in $GIT_DIR and confuses the next "git commit", which has been corrected. * Various bugs in "git rebase -r" have been fixed. * mmap() imitation used to call xmalloc() that dies upon malloc() failure, which has been corrected to just return an error to the caller to be handled. * "git diff --relative" segfaulted and/or produced incorrect result when there are unmerged paths. * The delayed checkout code path in "git checkout" etc. were chatty even when --quiet and/or --no-progress options were given. * "git branch -D <branch>" used to refuse to remove a broken branch ref that points at a missing commit, which has been corrected. * Build update for Apple clang. * The parser for the "--nl" option of "git column" has been corrected. * "git upload-pack" which runs on the other side of "git fetch" forgot to take the ref namespaces into account when handling want-ref requests. * The sparse-index support can corrupt the index structure by storing a stale and/or uninitialized data, which has been corrected. * Buggy tests could damage repositories outside the throw-away test area we created. We now by default export GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES to limit the damage from such a stray test. * Even when running "git send-email" without its own threaded discussion support, a threading related header in one message is carried over to the subsequent message to result in an unwanted threading, which has been corrected. * The output from "git fast-export", when its anonymization feature is in use, showed an annotated tag incorrectly. * Recent "diff -m" changes broke "gitk", which has been \ corrected. * The "git apply -3" code path learned not to bother the lower level merge machinery when the three-way merge can be trivially resolved without the content level merge. This fixes a regression caused by recent "-3way first and fall back to direct application" change. * The code that optionally creates the *.rev reverse index file has been optimized to avoid needless computation when it is not writing the file out. * "git range-diff -I... <range> <range>" segfaulted, \ which has been corrected. * The order in which various files that make up a single (conceptual) packfile has been reevaluated and straightened up. This matters in correctness, as an incomplete set of files must not be shown to a running Git. * The "mode" word is useless in a call to open(2) that does not create a new file. Such a call in the files backend of the ref subsystem has been cleaned up. * "git update-ref --stdin" failed to flush its output as needed, which potentially led the conversation to a deadlock. * When "git am --abort" fails to abort correctly, it still exited with exit status of 0, which has been corrected. * Correct nr and alloc members of strvec struct to be of type size_t. * "git stash", where the tentative change involves changing a directory to a file (or vice versa), was confused, which has been corrected. * "git clone" from a repository whose HEAD is unborn into a bare repository didn't follow the branch name the other side used, which is corrected. * "git cvsserver" had a long-standing bug in its authentication code, which has finally been corrected (it is unclear and is a separate question if anybody is seriously using it, though). * "git difftool --dir-diff" mishandled symbolic links. * Sensitive data in the HTTP trace were supposed to be redacted, but we failed to do so in HTTP/2 requests. * "make clean" has been updated to remove leftover .depend/ directories, even when it is not told to use them to compute header dependencies. * Protocol v0 clients can get stuck parsing a malformed feature line. * A few kinds of changes "git status" can show were not documented. (merge d2a534c515 ja/doc-status-types-and-copies later to maint). * The mergesort implementation used to sort linked list has been optimized. (merge c90cfc225b rs/mergesort later to maint). * An editor session launched during a Git operation (e.g. during 'git commit') can leave the terminal in a funny state. The code path has updated to save the terminal state before, and restore it after, it spawns an editor. (merge 3d411afabc cm/save-restore-terminal later to maint). * "git cat-file --batch" with the "--batch-all-objects" \ option is supposed to iterate over all the objects found in a repository, but it used to translate these object names using the replace mechanism, which defeats the point of enumerating all objects in the repository. This has been corrected. (merge bf972896d7 jk/cat-file-batch-all-wo-replace later to maint). * Recent sparse-index work broke safety against attempts to add paths with trailing slashes to the index, which has been corrected. (merge c8ad9d04c6 rs/make-verify-path-really-verify-again later to maint). * The "--color-lines" and "--color-by-age" options of \ "git blame" have been missing, which are now documented. (merge 8c32856133 bs/doc-blame-color-lines later to maint). * The PATH used in CI job may be too wide and let incompatible dlls to be grabbed, which can cause the build&test to fail. Tighten it. (merge 7491ef6198 js/windows-ci-path-fix later to maint). * Avoid performance measurements from getting ruined by gc and other housekeeping pauses interfering in the middle. (merge be79131a53 rs/disable-gc-during-perf-tests later to maint). * Stop "git add --dry-run" from creating new blob and tree objects. (merge e578d0311d rs/add-dry-run-without-objects later to maint). * "git commit" gave duplicated error message when the object store was unwritable, which has been corrected. (merge 4ef91a2d79 ab/fix-commit-error-message-upon-unwritable-object-store \ later to maint). * Recent sparse-index addition, namely any use of index_name_pos(), can expand sparse index entries and breaks any code that walks cache-tree or existing index entries. One such instance of such a breakage has been corrected. * The xxdiff difftool backend can exit with status 128, which the difftool-helper that launches the backend takes as a significant failure, when it is not significant at all. Work it around. (merge 571f4348dd da/mergetools-special-case-xxdiff-exit-128 later to maint). * Improve test framework around unwritable directories. (merge 5d22e18965 ab/test-cleanly-recreate-trash-directory later to maint). * "git push" client talking to an HTTP server did not diagnose the lack of the final status report from the other side correctly, which has been corrected. (merge c5c3486f38 jk/http-push-status-fix later to maint). * Update "git archive" documentation and give explicit mention on the compression level for both zip and tar.gz format. (merge c4b208c309 bs/archive-doc-compression-level later to maint). * Drop "git sparse-checkout" from the list of common commands. (merge 6a9a50a8af sg/sparse-index-not-that-common-a-command later to maint). * "git branch -c/-m new old" was not described to copy config, which has been corrected. (merge 8252ec300e jc/branch-copy-doc later to maint). * Squelch over-eager warning message added during this cycle. * Fix long-standing shell syntax error in the completion script. (merge 46b0585286 re/completion-fix-test-equality later to maint). * Teach "git commit-graph" command not to allow using replace objects at all, as we do not use the commit-graph at runtime when we see object replacement. (merge 095d112f8c ab/ignore-replace-while-working-on-commit-graph later to maint). * "git pull --no-verify" did not affect the underlying "git \ merge". (merge 47bfdfb3fd ar/fix-git-pull-no-verify later to maint). * One CI task based on Fedora image noticed a not-quite-kosher construct recently, which has been corrected. * "git pull --ff-only" and "git pull --rebase --ff-only" \ should make it a no-op to attempt pulling from a remote that is behind us, but instead the command errored out by saying it was impossible to fast-forward, which may technically be true, but not a useful thing to diagnose as an error. This has been corrected. (merge 361cb52383 jc/fix-pull-ff-only-when-already-up-to-date later to maint). * The way Cygwin emulates a unix-domain socket, on top of which the simple-ipc mechanism is implemented, can race with the program on the other side that wants to use the socket, and briefly make it appear as a regular file before lstat(2) starts reporting it as a socket. We now have a workaround on the side that connects to a unix domain socket. * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. (merge f188160be9 ab/bundle-remove-verbose-option later to maint). (merge 8c6b4332b4 rs/close-pack-leakfix later to maint). (merge 51b04c05b7 bs/difftool-msg-tweak later to maint). (merge dd20e4a6db ab/make-compdb-fix later to maint). (merge 6ffb990dc4 os/status-docfix later to maint). (merge 100c2da2d3 rs/p3400-lose-tac later to maint). (merge 76f3b69896 tb/aggregate-ignore-leading-whitespaces later to maint).

Log message: git: updated to 2.32.0 Git 2.32 Release Notes ====================== Backward compatibility notes ---------------------------- * ".gitattributes", ".gitignore", and ".mailmap" \ files that are symbolic links are ignored. * "git apply --3way" used to first attempt a straight application, and only fell back to the 3-way merge algorithm when the stright application failed. Starting with this version, the command will first try the 3-way merge algorithm and only when it fails (either resulting with conflict or the base versions of blobs are missing), falls back to the usual patch application. Updates since v2.31 ------------------- UI, Workflows & Features * It does not make sense to make ".gitattributes", \ ".gitignore" and ".mailmap" symlinks, as they are supposed to be usable from the object store (think: bare repositories where HEAD:.mailmap etc. are used). When these files are symbolic links, we used to read the contents of the files pointed by them by mistake, which has been corrected. * "git stash show" learned to optionally show untracked part of the stash. * "git log --format='...'" learned "%(describe)" placeholder. * "git repack" so far has been only capable of repacking everything under the sun into a single pack (or split by size). A cleverer strategy to reduce the cost of repacking a repository has been introduced. * The http codepath learned to let the credential layer to cache the password used to unlock a certificate that has successfully been used. * "git commit --fixup=<commit>", which was to tweak the changes made to the contents while keeping the original log message intact, learned "--fixup=(amend|reword):<commit>", that can be used to tweak both the message and the contents, and only the message, respectively. * "git send-email" learned to honor the core.hooksPath configuration. * "git format-patch -v<n>" learned to allow a reroll count that is not an integer. * "git commit" learned "--trailer \ <key>[=<value>]" option; together with the interpret-trailers command, this will make it easier to support custom trailers. * "git clone --reject-shallow" option fails the clone as soon as we notice that we are cloning from a shallow repository. * A configuration variable has been added to force tips of certain refs to be given a reachability bitmap. * "gitweb" learned "e-mail privacy" feature to redact \ strings that look like e-mail addresses on various pages. * "git apply --3way" has always been "to fall back to 3-way merge only when straight application fails". Swap the order of falling back so that 3-way is always attempted first (only when the option is given, of course) and then straight patch application is used as a fallback when it fails. * "git apply" now takes "--3way" and "--cached" \ at the same time, and work and record results only in the index. * The command line completion (in contrib/) has learned that CHERRY_PICK_HEAD is a possible pseudo-ref. * Userdiff patterns for "Scheme" has been added. * "git log" learned "--diff-merges=<style>" option, \ with an associated configuration variable log.diffMerges. * "git log --format=..." placeholders learned %ah/%ch placeholders to request the --date=human output. * Replace GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM mechanism to decline from reading the system-wide configuration file with GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM that lets users specify from which file to read the system-wide configuration (setting it to an empty file would essentially be the same as setting NOSYSTEM), and introduce GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL to override the per-user configuration in $HOME/.gitconfig. * "git add" and "git rm" learned not to touch those paths \ that are outside of sparse checkout. * "git rev-list" learns the \ "--filter=object:type=<type>" option, which can be used to exclude objects of the given kind from the packfile generated by pack-objects. * The command line completion (in contrib/) for "git stash" has been updated. * "git subtree" updates. * It is now documented that "format-patch" skips merges. * Options to "git pack-objects" that take numeric values like --window and --depth should not accept negative values; the input validation has been tightened. * The way the command line specified by the trailer.<token>.command configuration variable receives the end-user supplied value was both error prone and misleading. An alternative to achieve the same goal in a safer and more intuitive way has been added, as the trailer.<token>.cmd configuration variable, to replace it. * "git add -i --dry-run" does not dry-run, which was surprising. The combination of options has taught to error out. * "git push" learns to discover common ancestor with the receiving end over protocol v2. This will hopefully make "git push" as efficient as "git fetch" in avoiding objects from getting transferred unnecessarily. * "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") learned the \ "--quoted-cr" option to control how lines ending with CRLF wrapped in base64 or qp are handled. Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. * Rename detection rework continues. * GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS is a mechanism to skip test pieces with prerequisites to catch broken tests that depend on the side effects of optional pieces, but did not work at all when negative prerequisites were involved. (merge 27d578d904 jk/fail-prereq-testfix later to maint). * "git diff-index" codepath has been taught to trust fsmonitor status to reduce number of lstat() calls. (merge 7e5aa13d2c nk/diff-index-fsmonitor later to maint). * Reorganize Makefile to allow building git.o and other essential objects without extra stuff needed only for testing. * Preparatory API changes for parallel checkout. * A simple IPC interface gets introduced to build services like fsmonitor on top. * Fsck API clean-up. * SECURITY.md that is facing individual contributors and end users has been introduced. Also a procedure to follow when preparing embargoed releases has been spelled out. (merge 09420b7648 js/security-md later to maint). * Optimize "rev-list --use-bitmap-index --objects" corner case that uses negative tags as the stopping points. * CMake update for vsbuild. * An on-disk reverse-index to map the in-pack location of an object back to its object name across multiple packfiles is introduced. * Generate [ec]tags under $(QUIET_GEN). * Clean-up codepaths that implements "git send-email --validate" option and improves the message from it. * The last remnant of gettext-poison has been removed. * The test framework has been taught to optionally turn the default merge strategy to "ort" throughout the system where we use three-way merges internally, like cherry-pick, rebase etc., primarily to enhance its test coverage (the strategy has been available as an explicit "-s ort" choice). * A bit of code clean-up and a lot of test clean-up around userdiff area. * Handling of "promisor packs" that allows certain objects to be missing and lazily retrievable has been optimized (a bit). * When packet_write() fails, we gave an extra error message unnecessarily, which has been corrected. * The checkout machinery has been taught to perform the actual write-out of the files in parallel when able. * Show errno in the trace output in the error codepath that calls read_raw_ref method. * Effort to make the command line completion (in contrib/) safe with "set -u" continues. * Tweak a few tests for "log --format=..." that show timestamps in various formats. * The reflog expiry machinery has been taught to emit trace events. * Over-the-wire protocol learns a new request type to ask for object sizes given a list of object names. Fixes since v2.31 ----------------- * The fsmonitor interface read from its input without making sure there is something to read from. This bug is new in 2.31 timeframe. * The data structure used by fsmonitor interface was not properly duplicated during an in-core merge, leading to use-after-free etc. * "git bisect" reimplemented more in C during 2.30 timeframe did not take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint well. This regression has been corrected. * Fix macros that can silently inject unintended null-statements. * CALLOC_ARRAY() macro replaces many uses of xcalloc(). * Update insn in Makefile comments to run fuzz-all target. * Fix a corner case bug in "git mv" on case insensitive systems, which was introduced in 2.29 timeframe. * We had a code to diagnose and die cleanly when a required clean/smudge filter is missing, but an assert before that unnecessarily fired, hiding the end-user facing die() message. (merge 6fab35f748 mt/cleanly-die-upon-missing-required-filter later to maint). * Update C code that sets a few configuration variables when a remote is configured so that it spells configuration variable names in the canonical camelCase. (merge 0f1da600e6 ab/remote-write-config-in-camel-case later to maint). * A new configuration variable has been introduced to allow choosing which version of the generation number gets used in the commit-graph file. (merge 702110aac6 ds/commit-graph-generation-config later to maint). * Perf test update to work better in secondary worktrees. (merge 36e834abc1 jk/perf-in-worktrees later to maint). * Updates to memory allocation code around the use of pcre2 library. (merge c1760352e0 ab/grep-pcre2-allocfix later to maint). * "git -c core.bare=false clone --bare ..." would have segfaulted, which has been corrected. (merge 75555676ad bc/clone-bare-with-conflicting-config later to maint). * When "git checkout" removes a path that does not exist in the commit it is checking out, it wasn't careful enough not to follow symbolic links, which has been corrected. (merge fab78a0c3d mt/checkout-remove-nofollow later to maint). * A few option description strings started with capital letters, which were corrected. (merge 5ee90326dc cc/downcase-opt-help later to maint). * Plug or annotate remaining leaks that trigger while running the very basic set of tests. (merge 68ffe095a2 ah/plugleaks later to maint). * The hashwrite() API uses a buffering mechanism to avoid calling write(2) too frequently. This logic has been refactored to be easier to understand. (merge ddaf1f62e3 ds/clarify-hashwrite later to maint). * "git cherry-pick/revert" with or without "--[no-]edit" \ did not spawn the editor as expected (e.g. "revert --no-edit" after a conflict still asked to edit the message), which has been corrected. (merge 39edfd5cbc en/sequencer-edit-upon-conflict-fix later to maint). * "git daemon" has been tightened against systems that take backslash as directory separator. (merge 9a7f1ce8b7 rs/daemon-sanitize-dir-sep later to maint). * A NULL-dereference bug has been corrected in an error codepath in "git for-each-ref", "git branch --list" etc. (merge c685450880 jk/ref-filter-segfault-fix later to maint). * Streamline the codepath to fix the UTF-8 encoding issues in the argv[] and the prefix on macOS. (merge c7d0e61016 tb/precompose-prefix-simplify later to maint). * The command-line completion script (in contrib/) had a couple of references that would have given a warning under the "-u" (nounset) option. (merge c5c0548d79 vs/completion-with-set-u later to maint). * When "git pack-objects" makes a literal copy of a part of existing packfile using the reachability bitmaps, its update to the progress meter was broken. (merge 8e118e8490 jk/pack-objects-bitmap-progress-fix later to maint). * The dependencies for config-list.h and command-list.h were broken when the former was split out of the latter, which has been corrected. (merge 56550ea718 sg/bugreport-fixes later to maint). * "git push --quiet --set-upstream" was not quiet when setting the upstream branch configuration, which has been corrected. (merge f3cce896a8 ow/push-quiet-set-upstream later to maint). * The prefetch task in "git maintenance" assumed that "git \ fetch" from any remote would fetch all its local branches, which would fetch too much if the user is interested in only a subset of branches there. (merge 32f67888d8 ds/maintenance-prefetch-fix later to maint). * Clarify that pathnames recorded in Git trees are most often (but not necessarily) encoded in UTF-8. (merge 9364bf465d ab/pathname-encoding-doc later to maint). * "git --config-env var=val cmd" weren't accepted (only --config-env=var=val was). (merge c331551ccf ps/config-env-option-with-separate-value later to maint). * When the reachability bitmap is in effect, the "do not lose recently created objects and those that are reachable from them" safety to protect us from races were disabled by mistake, which has been corrected. (merge 2ba582ba4c jk/prune-with-bitmap-fix later to maint). * Cygwin pathname handling fix. (merge bccc37fdc7 ad/cygwin-no-backslashes-in-paths later to maint). * "git rebase --[no-]reschedule-failed-exec" did not work well with its configuration variable, which has been corrected. (merge e5b32bffd1 ab/rebase-no-reschedule-failed-exec later to maint). * Portability fix for command line completion script (in contrib/). (merge f2acf763e2 si/zsh-complete-comment-fix later to maint). * "git repack -A -d" in a partial clone unnecessarily loosened objects in promisor pack. * "git bisect skip" when custom words are used for new/old did not work, which has been corrected. * A few variants of informational message "Already up-to-date" has been rephrased. (merge ad9322da03 js/merge-already-up-to-date-message-reword later to maint). * "git submodule update --quiet" did not propagate the quiet option down to underlying "git fetch", which has been corrected. (merge 62af4bdd42 nc/submodule-update-quiet later to maint). * Document that our test can use "local" keyword. (merge a84fd3bcc6 jc/test-allows-local later to maint). * The word-diff mode has been taught to work better with a word regexp that can match an empty string. (merge 0324e8fc6b pw/word-diff-zero-width-matches later to maint). * "git p4" learned to find branch points more efficiently. (merge 6b79818bfb jk/p4-locate-branch-point-optim later to maint). * When "git update-ref -d" removes a ref that is packed, it left empty directories under $GIT_DIR/refs/ for (merge 5f03e5126d wc/packed-ref-removal-cleanup later to maint). * "git clean" and "git ls-files -i" had confusion around \ working on or showing ignored paths inside an ignored directory, which has been corrected. (merge b548f0f156 en/dir-traversal later to maint). * The handling of "%(push)" formatting element of \ "for-each-ref" and friends was broken when the same codepath started handling "%(push:<what>)", which has been corrected. (merge 1e1c4c5eac zh/ref-filter-push-remote-fix later to maint). * The bash prompt script (in contrib/) did not work under "set -u". (merge 5c0cbdb107 en/prompt-under-set-u later to maint). * The "chainlint" feature in the test framework is a handy way to catch common mistakes in writing new tests, but tends to get expensive. An knob to selectively disable it has been introduced to help running tests that the developer has not modified. (merge 2d86a96220 jk/test-chainlint-softer later to maint). * The "rev-parse" command did not diagnose the lack of argument to "--path-format" option, which was introduced in v2.31 era, which has been corrected. (merge 99fc555188 wm/rev-parse-path-format-wo-arg later to maint). * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. (merge f451960708 dl/cat-file-doc-cleanup later to maint).

git: updated to 2.31.1
Git 2.31.1 Release Notes

Fixes since v2.31
-----------------
* The fsmonitor interface read from its input without making sure
there is something to read from. This bug is new in 2.31
timeframe.
* The data structure used by fsmonitor interface was not properly
duplicated during an in-core merge, leading to use-after-free etc.
* "git bisect" reimplemented more in C during 2.30 timeframe did not
take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint well. This regression
has been corrected.
* Fix macros that can silently inject unintended null-statements.
* CALLOC_ARRAY() macro replaces many uses of xcalloc().
* Update insn in Makefile comments to run fuzz-all target.
* Fix a corner case bug in "git mv" on case insensitive systems,
which was introduced in 2.29 timeframe.
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
Git 2.31 Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.30
-------------------
Backward incompatible and other important changes
* The "pack-redundant" command, which has been left stale with almost
unusable performance issues, now warns loudly when it gets used, as
we no longer want to recommend its use (instead just "repack -d"
instead).
* The development community has adopted Contributor Covenant v2.0 to
update from v1.4 that we have been using.
* The support for deprecated PCRE1 library has been dropped.
* Fixes for CVE-2021-21300 in Git 2.30.2 (and earlier) is included.
UI, Workflows & Features
* The "--format=%(trailers)" mechanism gets enhanced to make it
easier to design output for machine consumption.
* When a user does not tell "git pull" to use rebase or merge, the
command gives a loud message telling a user to choose between
rebase or merge but creates a merge anyway, forcing users who would
want to rebase to redo the operation. Fix an early part of this
problem by tightening the condition to give the message---there is
no reason to stop or force the user to choose between rebase or
merge if the history fast-forwards.
* The configuration variable 'core.abbrev' can be set to 'no' to
force no abbreviation regardless of the hash algorithm.
* "git rev-parse" can be explicitly told to give output as absolute
or relative path with the `--path-format=(absolute|relative)` option.
* Bash completion (in contrib/) update to make it easier for
end-users to add completion for their custom "git" subcommands.
* "git maintenance" learned to drive scheduled maintenance on
platforms whose native scheduling methods are not 'cron'.
* After expiring a reflog and making a single commit, the reflog for
the branch would record a single entry that knows both @{0} and
@{1}, but we failed to answer "what commit were we on?", i.e. @{1}
* "git bundle" learns "--stdin" option to read its refs from the
standard input. Also, it now does not lose refs whey they point
at the same object.
* "git log" learned a new "--diff-merges=<how>" option.
* "git ls-files" can and does show multiple entries when the index is
unmerged, which is a source for confusion unless -s/-u option is in
use. A new option --deduplicate has been introduced.
* `git worktree list` now annotates worktrees as prunable, shows
locked and prunable attributes in --porcelain mode, and gained
a --verbose option.
* "git clone" tries to locally check out the branch pointed at by
HEAD of the remote repository after it is done, but the protocol
did not convey the information necessary to do so when copying an
empty repository. The protocol v2 learned how to do so.
* There are other ways than ".." for a single token to denote a
"commit range", namely "<rev>^!" and \
"<rev>^-<n>", but "git
range-diff" did not understand them.
* The "git range-diff" command learned \
"--(left|right)-only" option
to show only one side of the compared range.
* "git mergetool" feeds three versions (base, local and remote) of
a conflicted path unmodified. The command learned to optionally
prepare these files with unconflicted parts already resolved.
* The .mailmap is documented to be read only from the root level of a
working tree, but a stray file in a bare repository also was read
by accident, which has been corrected.
* "git maintenance" tool learned a new "pack-refs" \
maintenance task.
* The error message given when a configuration variable that is
expected to have a boolean value has been improved.
* Signed commits and tags now allow verification of objects, whose
two object names (one in SHA-1, the other in SHA-256) are both
signed.
* "git rev-list" command learned "--disk-usage" option.
* "git {diff,log} --{skip,rotate}-to=<path>" allows the user to
discard diff output for early paths or move them to the end of the
output.
* "git difftool" learned "--skip-to=<path>" option to \
restart an
interrupted session from an arbitrary path.
* "git grep" has been tweaked to be limited to the sparse checkout
paths.
* "git rebase --[no-]fork-point" gained a configuration variable
rebase.forkPoint so that users do not have to keep specifying a
non-default setting.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* A 3-year old test that was not testing anything useful has been
corrected.
* Retire more names with "sha1" in it.
* The topological walk codepath is covered by new trace2 stats.
* Update the Code-of-conduct to version 2.0 from the upstream (we've
been using version 1.4).
* "git mktag" validates its input using its own rules before writing
a tag object---it has been updated to share the logic with "git
fsck".
* Two new ways to feed configuration variable-value pairs via
environment variables have been introduced, and the way
GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS encodes variable/value pairs has been tweaked
to make it more robust.
* Tests have been updated so that they do not to get affected by the
name of the default branch "git init" creates.
* "git fetch" learns to treat ref updates atomically in all-or-none
fashion, just like "git push" does, with the new \
"--atomic" option.
* The peel_ref() API has been replaced with peel_iterated_oid().
* The .use_shell flag in struct child_process that is passed to
run_command() API has been clarified with a bit more documentation.
* Document, clean-up and optimize the code around the cache-tree
extension in the index.
* The ls-refs protocol operation has been optimized to narrow the
sub-hierarchy of refs/ it walks to produce response.
* When removing many branches and tags, the code used to do so one
ref at a time. There is another API it can use to delete multiple
refs, and it makes quite a lot of performance difference when the
refs are packed.
* The "pack-objects" command needs to iterate over all the tags when
automatic tag following is enabled, but it actually iterated over
all refs and then discarded everything outside "refs/tags/"
hierarchy, which was quite wasteful.
* A perf script was made more portable.
* Our setting of GitHub CI test jobs were a bit too eager to give up
once there is even one failure found. Tweak the knob to allow
other jobs keep running even when we see a failure, so that we can
find more failures in a single run.
* We've carried compatibility codepaths for compilers without
variadic macros for quite some time, but the world may be ready for
them to be removed. Force compilation failure on exotic platforms
where variadic macros are not available to find out who screams in
such a way that we can easily revert if it turns out that the world
is not yet ready.
* Code clean-up to ensure our use of hashtables using object names as
keys use the "struct object_id" objects, not the raw hash values.
* Lose the debugging aid that may have been useful in the past, but
no longer is, in the "grep" codepaths.
* Some pretty-format specifiers do not need the data in commit object
(e.g. "%H"), but we were over-eager to load and parse it, which has
been made even lazier.
* Get rid of "GETTEXT_POISON" support altogether, which may or may
not be controversial.
* Introduce an on-disk file to record revindex for packdata, which
traditionally was always created on the fly and only in-core.
* The commit-graph learned to use corrected commit dates instead of
the generation number to help topological revision traversal.
* Piecemeal of rewrite of "git bisect" in C continues.
* When a pager spawned by us exited, the trace log did not record its
exit status correctly, which has been corrected.
* Removal of GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON continues.
* The code to implement "git merge-base --independent" was poorly
done and was kept from the very beginning of the feature.
* Preliminary changes to fsmonitor integration.
* Performance improvements for rename detection.
* The common code to deal with "chunked file format" that is shared
by the multi-pack-index and commit-graph files have been factored
out, to help codepaths for both filetypes to become more robust.
* The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is
attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core,
inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be
applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree
object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as
".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as
".gitmodules" file, for example. Teach "index-pack" to emit
objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling
"fetch-pack" process.
* The logic to handle "trailer" related placeholders in the
"--format=" mechanisms in the "log" family and \
"for-each-ref"
family is getting unified.
* Raise the buffer size used when writing the index file out from
(obviously too small) 8kB to (clearly sufficiently large) 128kB.
* It is reported that open() on some platforms (e.g. macOS Big Sur)
can return EINTR even though our timers are set up with SA_RESTART.
A workaround has been implemented and enabled for macOS to rerun
open() transparently from the caller when this happens.
Fixes since v2.30
-----------------
* Diagnose command line error of "git rebase" early.
* Clean up option descriptions in "git cmd --help".
* "git stash" did not work well in a sparsely checked out working
tree.
* Some tests expect that "ls -l" output has either '-' or 'x' for
group executable bit, but setgid bit can be inherited from parent
directory and make these fields 'S' or 's' instead, causing test
failures.
* "git for-each-repo --config=<var> <cmd>" should not run \
<cmd> for
any repository when the configuration variable <var> is not defined
even once.
* Fix 2.29 regression where "git mergetool --tool-help" fails to list
all the available tools.
* Fix for procedure to building CI test environment for mac.
* The implementation of "git branch --sort" wrt the detached HEAD
display has always been hacky, which has been cleaned up.
* Newline characters in the host and path part of git:// URL are
now forbidden.
* "git diff" showed a submodule working tree with untracked cruft as
"Submodule commit <objectname>-dirty", but a natural \
expectation is
that the "-dirty" indicator would align with "git describe \
--dirty",
which does not consider having untracked files in the working tree
as source of dirtiness. The inconsistency has been fixed.
* When more than one commit with the same patch ID appears on one
side, "git log --cherry-pick A...B" did not exclude them all when a
commit with the same patch ID appears on the other side. Now it
does.
* Documentation for "git fsck" lost stale bits that has become
incorrect.
* Doc fix for packfile URI feature.
* When "git rebase -i" processes "fixup" insn, there is no \
reason to
clean up the commit log message, but we did the usual stripspace
processing. This has been corrected.
(merge f7d42ceec5 js/rebase-i-commit-cleanup-fix later to maint).
* Fix in passing custom args from "git clone" to \
"upload-pack" on the
other side.
(merge ad6b5fefbd jv/upload-pack-filter-spec-quotefix later to maint).
* The command line completion (in contrib/) completed "git branch -d"
with branch names, but "git branch -D" offered tagnames in addition,
which has been corrected. "git branch -M" had the same problem.
(merge 27dc071b9a jk/complete-branch-force-delete later to maint).
* When commands are started from a subdirectory, they may have to
compare the path to the subdirectory (called prefix and found out
from $(pwd)) with the tracked paths. On macOS, $(pwd) and
readdir() yield decomposed path, while the tracked paths are
usually normalized to the precomposed form, causing mismatch. This
has been fixed by taking the same approach used to normalize the
command line arguments.
(merge 5c327502db tb/precompose-prefix-too later to maint).
* Even though invocations of "die()" were logged to the trace2
system, "BUG()"s were not, which has been corrected.
(merge 0a9dde4a04 jt/trace2-BUG later to maint).
* "git grep --untracked" is meant to be "let's ALSO find in these
files on the filesystem" when looking for matches in the working
tree files, and does not make any sense if the primary search is
done against the index, or the tree objects. The "--cached" and
"--untracked" options have been marked as mutually incompatible.
(merge 0c5d83b248 mt/grep-cached-untracked later to maint).
* Fix "git fsck --name-objects" which apparently has not been used by
anybody who is motivated enough to report breakage.
(merge e89f89361c js/fsck-name-objects-fix later to maint).
* Avoid individual tests in t5411 from getting affected by each other
by forcing them to use separate output files during the test.
(merge 822ee894f6 jx/t5411-unique-filenames later to maint).
* Test to make sure "git rev-parse one-thing one-thing" gives
the same thing twice (when one-thing is --since=X).
(merge a5cdca4520 ew/rev-parse-since-test later to maint).
* When certain features (e.g. grafts) used in the repository are
incompatible with the use of the commit-graph, we used to silently
turned commit-graph off; we now tell the user what we are doing.
(merge c85eec7fc3 js/commit-graph-warning later to maint).
* Objects that lost references can be pruned away, even when they
have notes attached to it (and these notes will become dangling,
which in turn can be pruned with "git notes prune"). This has been
clarified in the documentation.
(merge fa9ab027ba mz/doc-notes-are-not-anchors later to maint).
* The error codepath around the "--temp/--prefix" feature of "git
checkout-index" has been improved.
(merge 3f7ba60350 mt/checkout-index-corner-cases later to maint).
* The "git maintenance register" command had trouble registering bare
repositories, which had been corrected.
* A handful of multi-word configuration variable names in
documentation that are spelled in all lowercase have been corrected
to use the more canonical camelCase.
(merge 7dd0eaa39c dl/doc-config-camelcase later to maint).
* "git push $there --delete ''" should have been diagnosed as an
error, but instead turned into a matching push, which has been
corrected.
(merge 20e416409f jc/push-delete-nothing later to maint).
* Test script modernization.
(merge 488acf15df sv/t7001-modernize later to maint).
* An under-allocation for the untracked cache data has been corrected.
(merge 6347d649bc jh/untracked-cache-fix later to maint).
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
(merge e3f5da7e60 sg/t7800-difftool-robustify later to maint).
