prefix. If you are negatively affected by this change, please use

"--subject-prefix=PATCH --rfc" as a replacement.
12
13
-
* "git rev-list --stdin" learned to take non-revisions (like "--not")
14
-
recently from the standard input, but the way such a "--not" was
15
handled was quite confusing, which has been rethought. The updated
16
rule is that "--not" given from the command line only affects revs

given from the command line that comes but not revs read from the
···
22
UI, Workflows & Features
23
24
* A message written in olden time prevented a branch from getting
25
-
checked out saying it is already checked out elsewhere, but these
26
days, we treat a branch that is being bisected or rebased just like
27
-
a branch that is checked out and protect it. Rephrase the message
28
-
to say that the branch is in use.
29
30
* Hourly and other schedules of "git maintenance" jobs are randomly
31
distributed now.
···
43
44
* Git GUI updates.
45
46
-
* "git format-patch" learns a way to feed cover letter description,
47
-
that (1) can be used on detached HEAD where there is no branch
48
-
description available, and (2) also can override the branch
49
-
description if there is one.
50
51
-
* Use of --max-pack-size to allow multiple packfiles to be created is
52
-
now supported even when we are sending unreachable objects to cruft
53
-
packs.
54
55
* "git format-patch --rfc --subject-prefix=<foo>" used to ignore the
56
"--subject-prefix" option and used "[RFC PATCH]"; now we will add
57
"RFC" prefix to whatever subject prefix is specified.
58
59
-
* "git log --format" has been taught the %(decorate) placeholder.
60
61
* The default log message created by "git revert", when reverting a
62
commit that records a revert, has been tweaked, to encourage people
···
66
* The command-line completion support (in contrib/) learned to
67
complete "git commit --trailer=" for possible trailer keys.
68
69
-
* "git update-index" learns "--show-index-version" to inspect
70
-
the index format version used by the on-disk index file.
71
72
-
* "git diff" learned diff.statNameWidth configuration variable, to
73
-
give the default width for the name part in the "--stat" output.
74
75
* "git range-diff --notes=foo" compared "log --notes=foo --notes" of
76
-
the two ranges, instead of using just the specified notes tree.
77
78
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) can be told to
79
complete aliases by including ": git <cmd> ;" in the alias to tell
80
-
it that the alias should be completed in a similar way to how "git <cmd>" is
81
-
completed. The parsing code for the alias has been loosened to
82
-
allow ';' without an extra space before it.
83
84
* "git for-each-ref" and friends learned to apply mailmap to
85
-
authorname and other fields.
86
87
-
* "git repack" machinery learns to pay attention to the "--filter="
88
option.
89
90
-
* "git repack" learned "--max-cruft-size" to prevent cruft packs from
91
-
growing without bounds.
92
93
* "git merge-tree" learned to take strategy backend specific options
94
via the "-X" option, like "git merge" does.
95
96
-
* "git log" and friends learned "--dd" that is a short-hand for
97
-
"--diff-merges=first-parent -p".
98
99
-
* The attribute subsystem learned to honor `attr.tree` configuration
100
-
that specifies which tree to read the .gitattributes files from.
101
102
-
* "git merge-file" learns a mode to read three contents to be merged
103
-
from blob objects.

Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
···
110
* It may be tempting to leave the help text NULL for a command line
111
option that is either hidden or too obvious, but "git subcmd -h"
112
and "git subcmd --help-all" would have segfaulted if done so. Now
113
-
the help text is optional.
114
115
* Tests that are known to pass with LSan are now marked as such.
116
···
122
filtering the uninteresting output.
123
124
* Unused parameters to functions are marked as such, and/or removed,
125
-
in order to bring us closer to -Wunused-parameter clean.
126
127
* The code to keep track of existing packs in the repository while
128
repacking has been refactored.
···
161
non-zero generation numbers has been updated.
162
163
* "git diff -w --exit-code" with various options did not work
164
-
correctly, which is being addressed.
165
166
-
* transfer.unpackLimit ought to be used as a fallback, but overrode
167
-
fetch.unpackLimit and receive.unpackLimit instead.
168
169
* The use of API between two calls to require_clean_work_tree() from
170
the sequencer code has been cleaned up for consistency.
···
172
* "git diff --no-such-option" and other corner cases around the exit
173
status of the "diff" command have been corrected.
174
175
-
* "git for-each-ref --sort='contents:size'" sorts the refs according
176
to size numerically, giving a ref that points at a blob twelve-byte
177
-
(12) long before showing a blob hundred-byte (100) long.
178
179
* We now limit the depth of the tree objects and maximum length of
180
pathnames recorded in tree objects.
181
(merge 4d5693ba05 jk/tree-name-and-depth-limit later to maint).
182
183
-
* Various fixes to the behavior of "rebase -i" when the command got
184
-
interrupted by conflicting changes.
185
186
* References from a description of the `--patch` option in various
187
manual pages have been simplified and improved.
188
189
* "git grep -e A --no-or -e B" is accepted, even though the negation
190
-
of "or" did not mean anything, which has been tightened.
191
192
* The completion script (in contrib/) has been taught to treat the
193
"-t" option to "git checkout" and "git switch" just like the
···
196
* "git diff --no-index -R <(one) <(two)" did not work correctly,
197
which has been corrected.
198
199
-
* Update "git maintenance" timers' implementation based on systemd
200
-
timers to work with WSL.
201
202
* "git diff --cached" codepath did not fill the necessary stat
203
information for a file when fsmonitor knows it is clean and ended
204
-
up behaving as if it is not clean, which has been corrected.
205
206
-
* Clarify how "alias.foo = : git cmd ; aliased-command-string" should be
207
-
spelled with necessary whitespace around punctuation marks to
208
-
work.
209
210
* HTTP Header redaction code has been adjusted for a newer version of
211
cURL library that shows its traces differently from earlier
212
versions.
213
214
-
* An error message given by "git send-email" when given a malformed
215
-
address did not give correct information, which has been corrected.
216
217
* UBSan options were not propagated through the test framework to git
218
run via the httpd, unlike ASan options, which has been corrected.
···
229
* Update mailmap entry for Derrick.
230
(merge 6e5457d8c7 ds/mailmap-entry-update later to maint).
231
232
-
* In .gitmodules files, submodules are keyed by their names, and the
233
-
path to the submodule whose name is $name is specified by the
234
-
submodule.$name.path variable. There were a few codepaths that
235
mixed the name and path up when consulting the submodule database,
236
which have been corrected. It took long for these bugs to be found
237
as the name of a submodule initially is the same as its path, and
···
244
corrected.
245
(merge 4adceb5a29 ar/diff-index-merge-base-fix later to maint).
246
247
-
* Fix "git merge-tree" to stop segfaulting when the --attr-source
248
-
option is used.
249
(merge e95bafc52f jc/merge-ort-attr-index-fix later to maint).
250
251
* Unlike "git log --pretty=%D", "git log --pretty="%(decorate)" did
···
276
the top level of the working tree; it has been corrected to read
277
"sub/patterns" instead.
278
279
-
280
* "git reflog expire --single-worktree" has been broken for the past
281
20 months or so, which has been corrected.
282
···
300
non-commit objects, which has been corrected.
301
(merge 7b3c8e9f38 tb/rev-list-unpacked-fix later to maint).

lets cover letter description to be fed; this can be used on

detached HEAD where there is no branch description available, and
50

also can override the branch description if there is one.
