Git ???? Release Notes
======================
Updates since v2.3
------------------
Ports
UI, Workflows & Features
* The command usage info strings given by "git cmd -h" and in
documentation have been tweaked for consistency.
* The "sync" subcommand of "git p4" now allows users to exclude
subdirectories like its "clone" subcommand does.
* "git log --invert-grep --grep=WIP" will show only commits that do
not have the string "WIP" in their messages.
* "git push" has been taught a "--atomic" option that makes push to
update more than one ref an "all-or-none" affair.
* Extending the "push to deploy" added in 2.3, the behaviour of "git
push" when updating the branch that is checked out can now be
tweaked by push-to-checkout hook.
Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
* Implementation of N_() macro has been updated slightly to help us
detect mistakes.
* Implementation of "reflog expire" has been restructured to fit the
reflogs better with the recently updated ref API.
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
Fixes since v2.3
----------------
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.3 in the maintenance
track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
notes for details).
* "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it
tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD".
(merge a46442f jk/blame-commit-label later to maint).
* "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
files and failed to do so for whatever reason.
(merge 89ea903 jn/rerere-fail-on-auto-update-failure later to maint).
* Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce
broken patches.
(merge 339de50 dk/format-patch-ignore-diff-submodule later to maint).
* After attempting and failing a password-less authentication
(e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based
Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement.
(merge 4dbe664 bc/http-fallback-to-password-after-krb-fails later to maint).
* The "git push" documentation made the "--repo=<there>" option
easily misunderstood.
(merge 57b92a7 mg/push-repo-option-doc later to maint).
* Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory
would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file.
(merge 66ec904 jk/status-read-branch-name-fix later to maint).
* A misspelled conditional that is always true has been fixed.
(merge 94ee8e2 jk/remote-curl-an-array-in-struct-cannot-be-null later to maint).
* The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the
only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in
the --raw format.
(merge ac1c2d9 jc/diff-format-doc later to maint).
* A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the
dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other
side.
(merge 8b9c2dd jk/dumb-http-idx-fetch-fix later to maint).
* The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author
name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been
reworded to avoid misunderstanding.
(merge 1044b1f mg/commit-author-no-match-malformed-message later to maint).
* "git log --help" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant
to the "log" command.
(merge 3cab02d jc/doc-log-rev-list-options later to maint).
* "git apply --whitespace=fix" used to under-allocate the memory when
the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch.
(merge 407a792 jc/apply-ws-fix-expands later to maint).
* The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it"
interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when
the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the
user could have made was to choose nothing.
(merge a9c4641 ak/add-i-empty-candidates later to maint).
* The insn sheet "git rebase -i" creates did not fully honor
core.abbrev settings.
(merge edb72d5 ks/rebase-i-abbrev later to maint).
* "git fetch" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to "list"
command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD.
(merge 33cae54 mh/deref-symref-over-helper-transport later to maint).
