Add a mechanism to allow 'bash' to catch + such uses, and fix the ones that were found. + + * Update "git subtree" (in contrib/) so that it can take whitespaces + in the pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname but the name of + the directory that the repository is in. + + * Cosmetic improvement to lock-file error messages. + + * mark_tree_uninteresting() has code to handle the case where it gets + passed a NULL pointer in its 'tree' parameter, but the function had + 'object = &tree->object' assignment before checking if tree is + NULL. This gives a compiler an excuse to declare that tree will + never be NULL and apply a wrong optimization. Avoid it. + + * The helper used to iterate over loose object directories to prune + stale objects did not closedir() immediately when it is done with a + directory--a callback such as the one used for "git prune" may want + to do rmdir(), but it would fail on open directory on platforms + such as WinXP. + + * "git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths outside + the client spec as empty commits. It has been corrected to ignore + them instead, with a new configuration git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a + backward compatibility knob. + + * The exit code of git-fsck did not reflect some types of errors + found in packed objects, which has been corrected. + +Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code +clean-ups. |
