1 Git 2.46.1 Release Notes
2 ========================
4 This release is primarily to merge fixes accumulated on the 'master'
5 front to prepare for 2.47 release that are still relevant to 2.46.x
11 * "git checkout --ours" (no other arguments) complained that the
12 option is incompatible with branch switching, which is technically
13 correct, but found confusing by some users. It now says that the
14 user needs to give pathspec to specify what paths to checkout.
16 * It has been documented that we avoid "VAR=VAL shell_func" and why.
18 * "git add -p" by users with diff.suppressBlankEmpty set to true
19 failed to parse the patch that represents an unmodified empty line
20 with an empty line (not a line with a single space on it), which
23 * "git rebase --help" referred to "offset" (the difference between
24 the location a change was taken from and the change gets replaced)
25 incorrectly and called it "fuzz", which has been corrected.
27 * "git notes add -m '' --allow-empty" and friends that take prepared
28 data to create notes should not invoke an editor, but it started
29 doing so since Git 2.42, which has been corrected.
31 * An expensive operation to prepare tracing was done in re-encoding
32 code path even when the tracing was not requested, which has been
35 * Perforce tests have been updated.
37 * The credential helper to talk to OSX keychain sometimes sent
38 garbage bytes after the username, which has been corrected.
40 * A recent update broke "git ls-remote" used outside a repository,
41 which has been corrected.
43 * "git config --value=foo --fixed-value section.key newvalue" barfed
44 when the existing value in the configuration file used the
45 valueless true syntax, which has been corrected.
47 * "git reflog expire" failed to honor annotated tags when computing
50 * A flakey test and incorrect calls to strtoX() functions have been
53 * Follow-up on 2.45.1 regression fix.
55 * "git rev-list ... | git diff-tree -p --remerge-diff --stdin" should
56 behave more or less like "git log -p --remerge-diff" but instead it
57 crashed, forgetting to prepare a temporary object store needed.
59 * The patch parser in "git patch-id" has been tightened to avoid
60 getting confused by lines that look like a patch header in the log
63 * "git bundle unbundle" outside a repository triggered a BUG()
64 unnecessarily, which has been corrected.
66 * The code forgot to discard unnecessary in-core commit buffer data
67 for commits that "git log --skip=<number>" traversed but omitted
68 from the output, which has been corrected.
70 * "git verify-pack" and "git index-pack" started dying outside a
71 repository, which has been corrected.
73 * A corner case bug in "git stash" was fixed.
75 Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
