1 Git v2.45 Release Notes
2 =======================
4 Backward Compatibility Notes
6 UI, Workflows & Features
8 * Integrate the reftable code into the refs framework as a backend.
9 With "git init --ref-format=reftable", hopefully it would be a lot
10 more efficient to manage a repository with many references.
12 * "git checkout -p" and friends learned that that "@" is a synonym
13 for "HEAD".
16 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
18 * The code to iterate over refs with the reftable backend has seen
19 some optimization.
21 * More tests that are marked as "ref-files only" have been updated to
22 improve test coverage of reftable backend.
25 Fixes since v2.44
26 -----------------
28 * "git apply" on a filesystem without filemode support have learned
29 to take a hint from what is in the index for the path, even when
30 not working with the "--index" or "--cached" option, when checking
31 the executable bit match what is required by the preimage in the
32 patch.
33 (merge 45b625142d cp/apply-core-filemode later to maint).
35 * "git column" has been taught to reject negative padding value, as
36 it would lead to nonsense behaviour including division by zero.
37 (merge 76fb807faa kh/column-reject-negative-padding later to maint).
39 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
40 (merge f0e578c69c rs/use-xstrncmpz later to maint).
