Git 2.37.2 Release Notes ======================== This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated on the 'master' front since 2.37.1. Fixes since v2.37.1 ------------------- * "git shortlog -n" relied on the underlying qsort() to be stable, which shouldn't have. Fixed. * Variable quoting fix in the vimdiff driver of "git mergetool". * An earlier attempt to plug leaks placed a clean-up label to jump to at a bogus place, which as been corrected. * Fixes a long-standing corner case bug around directory renames in the merge-ort strategy. * Recent update to vimdiff layout code has been made more robust against different end-user vim settings. * In a non-bare repository, the behavior of Git when the core.worktree configuration variable points at a directory that has a repository as its subdirectory, regressed in Git 2.27 days. * References to commands-to-be-typed-literally in "git rebase" documentation mark-up have been corrected. * Give _() markings to fatal/warning/usage: labels that are shown in front of these messages. * "git mktree --missing" lazily fetched objects that are missing from the local object store, which was totally unnecessary for the purpose of creating the tree object(s) from its input. * Fixes for tests when the source directory has unusual characters in its path, e.g. whitespaces, double-quotes, etc. * Adjust technical/bitmap-format to be formatted by AsciiDoc, and add some missing information to the documentation. * Certain diff options are currently ignored when combined-diff is shown; mark them as incompatible with the feature. * "git clone" from a repository with some ref whose HEAD is unborn did not set the HEAD in the resulting repository correctly, which has been corrected. * mkstemp() emulation on Windows has been improved. * Add missing documentation for "include" and "includeIf" features in "git config" file format, which incidentally teaches the command line completion to include them in its offerings. * Avoid "white/black-list" in documentation and code comments. * Workaround for a compiler warning against use of die() in osx-keychain (in contrib/). * Workaround for a false positive compiler warning. * The resolve-undo information in the index was not protected against GC, which has been corrected. * A corner case bug where lazily fetching objects from a promisor remote resulted in infinite recursion has been corrected. * "git p4" working on UTF-16 files on Windows did not implement CRLF-to-LF conversion correctly, which has been corrected. * "git p4" did not handle non-ASCII client name well, which has been corrected. * "rerere-train" script (in contrib/) used to honor commit.gpgSign while recreating the throw-away merges. * "git checkout" miscounted the paths it updated, which has been corrected. * Fix for a bug that makes write-tree to fail to write out a non-existent index as a tree, introduced in 2.37. * There was a bug in the codepath to upgrade generation information in commit-graph from v1 to v2 format, which has been corrected. Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
