when the $sha1 names an object at the tip of an advertised ref,
even when the other side hasn't enabled allowTipSHA1InWant.
- * The recently introduced "[includeIf "gitdir:$dir"] path=..."
- mechanism has further been taught to take symlinks into account.
- The directory "$dir" specified in "gitdir:$dir" may be a symlink to
- a real location, not something that $(getcwd) may return. In such
- a case, a realpath of "$dir" is compared with the real path of the
- current repository to determine if the contents from the named path
- should be included.
+ * The "[includeIf "gitdir:$dir"] path=..." mechanism introduced in
+ 2.13.0 would canonicalize the path of the gitdir being matched,
+ and did not match e.g. "gitdir:~/work/*" against a repo in
+ "~/work/main" if "~/work" was a symlink to "/mnt/storage/work".
+ Now we match both the resolved canonical path and what "pwd" would
+ show. The include will happen if either one matches.
- * Make the "indent" heuristics the default in "diff" and diff.indentHeuristics
- configuration variable an escape hatch for those who do no want it.
+ * The "indent" heuristics is now the default in "diff". The
+ diff.indentHeuristic configuration variable can be set to "false"
+ for those who do not want it.
* Many commands learned to pay attention to submodule.recurse
configuration.
would appear as a not-quite-initialized submodule to others. We
learned to give warnings when this happens.
- * "git status" learned to optionally give how many stash entries the
- user has in its output.
+ * "git status" learned to optionally give how many stash entries there
+ are in its output.
* "git status" has long shown essentially the same message as "git
commit"; the message it gives while preparing for the root commit,
(rather than the commit the user is preparing for, which is more in
line with the focus of "git commit").
- * "git send-email" learned to overcome some SMTP server limitation
- that does not allow many pieces of e-mails to be sent over a single
- session.
+ * "git send-email" now has --batch-size and --relogin-delay options
+ which can be used to overcome limitations on SMTP servers that
+ restrict on how many of e-mails can be sent in a single session.
* An old message shown in the commit log template was removed, as it
has outlived its usefulness.
* A recent regression in "git rebase -i" has been fixed and tests
that would have caught it and others have been added.
- * An unaligned 32-bit access in pack-bitmap code ahs been corrected.
+ * An unaligned 32-bit access in pack-bitmap code has been corrected.
* Tighten error checks for invalid "git apply" input.
- * The split index code did not honor core.sharedrepository setting
+ * The split index code did not honor core.sharedRepository setting
correctly.
* The Makefile rule in contrib/subtree for building documentation
learned to honour USE_ASCIIDOCTOR just like the main documentation
set does.
- * Update the sha1dc again to fix portability glitches.
-
* Code clean-up to fix possible buffer over-reading.
