14Fixes since v2.39.2
15-------------------
16
17 * Stop running win+VS build by default.
18
19 * CI updates. We probably want a clean-up to move the long shell
20 script embedded in yaml file into a separate file, but that can
21 come later.
22
23 * Avoid unnecessary builds in CI, with settings configured in
24 ci-config.
25
26 * Redefining system functions for a few functions did not follow our
27 usual "implement git_foo() and #define foo(args) git_foo(args)"
28 pattern, which has broken build for some folks.
29
30 * Deal with a few deprecation warning from cURL library.
31
32 * Newer regex library macOS stopped enabling GNU-like enhanced BRE,
33 where '\(A\|B\)' works as alternation, unless explicitly asked with
34 the REG_ENHANCED flag. "git grep" now can be compiled to do so, to
35 retain the old behaviour.
36
37 * When given a pattern that matches an empty string at the end of a
38 line, the code to parse the "git diff" line-ranges fell into an
39 infinite loop, which has been corrected.
40
41 * Fix the sequence to fsync $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file that forgot to
42 flush its output to the disk..
43
44 * "git diff --relative" did not mix well with "git diff --ext-diff",
45 which has been corrected.
46
47 * The logic to see if we are using the "cone" mode by checking the
48 sparsity patterns has been tightened to avoid mistaking a pattern
49 that names a single file as specifying a cone.
50
51 * Doc update for environment variables set when hooks are invoked.
52
53 * Document ORIG_HEAD a bit more.
54
55 * "git ls-tree --format='%(path) %(path)' $tree $path" showed the
56 path three times, which has been corrected.
57
58 * Document that "branch -f <branch>" disables only the safety to
59 avoid recreating an existing branch.
60
61 * Clarify how "checkout -b/-B" and "git branch [-f]" are similar but
62 different in the documentation.
63
64Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
