Git 2.33.1 Release Notes
2
+
========================
3
+
4
+
This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated during the
5
+
development towards Git 2.34, the next feature release.

+
Fixes since v2.33
9
+
-----------------
10
+
11
+
* The unicode character width table (used for output alignment) has
12
+
been updated.
13
+
14
+
* Input validation of "git pack-objects --stdin-packs" has been
15
+
corrected.
16
+
17
+
* Bugfix for common ancestor negotiation recently introduced in "git
18
+
push" codepath.
19
+
20
+
* "git pull" had various corner cases that were not well thought out
21
+
around its --rebase backend, e.g. "git pull --ff-only" did not stop
22
+
but went ahead and rebased when the history on other side is not a
23
+
descendant of our history. The series tries to fix them up.
24
+
25
+
* "git apply" miscounted the bytes and failed to read to the end of
26
+
binary hunks.
27
+
28
+
* "git range-diff" code clean-up.
29
+
30
+
* "git commit --fixup" now works with "--edit" again, after it was
31
+
broken in v2.32.
32
+
33
+
* Use upload-artifacts v1 (instead of v2) for 32-bit linux, as the
34
+
new version has a blocker bug for that architecture.
35
+
36
+
* Checking out all the paths from HEAD during the last conflicted
37
+
step in "git rebase" and continuing would cause the step to be
38
+
skipped (which is expected), but leaves MERGE_MSG file behind in
39
+
$GIT_DIR and confuses the next "git commit", which has been
40
+
corrected.
41
+
42
+
* Various bugs in "git rebase -r" have been fixed.
43
+
44
+
* mmap() imitation used to call xmalloc() that dies upon malloc()
45
+
failure, which has been corrected to just return an error to the
46
+
caller to be handled.
47
+
48
+
* "git diff --relative" segfaulted and/or produced incorrect result
49
+
when there are unmerged paths.
50
+
51
+
* The delayed checkout code path in "git checkout" etc. were chatty
52
+
even when --quiet and/or --no-progress options were given.
53
+
54
+
* "git branch -D <branch>" used to refuse to remove a broken branch
55
+
ref that points at a missing commit, which has been corrected.
56
+
57
+
* Build update for Apple clang.
58
+
59
+
* The parser for the "--nl" option of "git column" has been
60
+
corrected.
61
+
62
+
* "git upload-pack" which runs on the other side of "git fetch"
63
+
forgot to take the ref namespaces into account when handling
64
+
want-ref requests.
65
+
66
+
* The sparse-index support can corrupt the index structure by storing
67
+
a stale and/or uninitialized data, which has been corrected.
68
+
69
+
* Buggy tests could damage repositories outside the throw-away test
70
+
area we created. We now by default export GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
71
+
to limit the damage from such a stray test.
72
+
73
+
* Even when running "git send-email" without its own threaded
74
+
discussion support, a threading related header in one message is
75
+
carried over to the subsequent message to result in an unwanted
76
+
threading, which has been corrected.
77
+
78
+
* The output from "git fast-export", when its anonymization feature
79
+
is in use, showed an annotated tag incorrectly.
80
+
81
+
* Recent "diff -m" changes broke "gitk", which has been corrected.
82
+
83
+
* "git maintenance" scheduler fix for macOS.
84
+
85
+
* A pathname in an advice message has been made cut-and-paste ready.
86
+
87
+
* The "git apply -3" code path learned not to bother the lower level
88
+
merge machinery when the three-way merge can be trivially resolved
89
+
without the content level merge.
90
+
91
+
* The code that optionally creates the *.rev reverse index file has
92
+
been optimized to avoid needless computation when it is not writing
93
+
the file out.
94
+
95
+
* "git range-diff -I... <range> <range>" segfaulted, which has been
96
+
corrected.
97
+
98
+
* The order in which various files that make up a single (conceptual)
99
+
packfile has been reevaluated and straightened up. This matters in
100
+
correctness, as an incomplete set of files must not be shown to a
101
+
running Git.
102
+
103
+
* The "mode" word is useless in a call to open(2) that does not
104
+
create a new file. Such a call in the files backend of the ref
105
+
subsystem has been cleaned up.
106
+
107
+
* "git update-ref --stdin" failed to flush its output as needed,
108
+
which potentially led the conversation to a deadlock.
109
+
110
+
* When "git am --abort" fails to abort correctly, it still exited
111
+
with exit status of 0, which has been corrected.
112
+
113
+
* Correct nr and alloc members of strvec struct to be of type size_t.
114
+
115
+
* "git stash", where the tentative change involves changing a
116
+
directory to a file (or vice versa), was confused, which has been
117
+
corrected.
118
+
119
+
* "git clone" from a repository whose HEAD is unborn into a bare
120
+
repository didn't follow the branch name the other side used, which
121
+
is corrected.
122
+
123
+
* "git cvsserver" had a long-standing bug in its authentication code,
124
+
which has finally been corrected (it is unclear and is a separate
125
+
question if anybody is seriously using it, though).
126
+
127
+
* "git difftool --dir-diff" mishandled symbolic links.
128
+
129
+
* Sensitive data in the HTTP trace were supposed to be redacted, but
130
+
we failed to do so in HTTP/2 requests.
131
+
132
+
* "make clean" has been updated to remove leftover .depend/
133
+
directories, even when it is not told to use them to compute header
134
+
dependencies.
135
+
136
+
* Protocol v0 clients can get stuck parsing a malformed feature line.
137
+

+
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
