1 Git v2.4.2 Release Notes
2 ========================
4 Fixes since v2.4.1
5 ------------------
7 * "git rev-list --objects $old --not --all" to see if everything that
8 is reachable from $old is already connected to the existing refs
9 was very inefficient.
11 * "hash-object --literally" introduced in v2.2 was not prepared to
12 take a really long object type name.
14 * "git rebase --quiet" was not quite quiet when there is nothing to
15 do.
17 * The completion for "log --decorate=" parameter value was incorrect.
19 * "filter-branch" corrupted commit log message that ends with an
20 incomplete line on platforms with some "sed" implementations that
21 munge such a line. Work it around by avoiding to use "sed".
23 * "git daemon" fails to build from the source under NO_IPV6
24 configuration (regression in 2.4).
26 * "git stash pop/apply" forgot to make sure that not just the working
27 tree is clean but also the index is clean. The latter is important
28 as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for
29 conflict resolution.
31 * We have prepended $GIT_EXEC_PATH and the path "git" is installed in
32 (typically "/usr/bin") to $PATH when invoking subprograms and hooks
33 for almost eternity, but the original use case the latter tried to
34 support was semi-bogus (i.e. install git to /opt/foo/git and run it
35 without having /opt/foo on $PATH), and more importantly it has
36 become less and less relevant as Git grew more mainstream (i.e. the
37 users would _want_ to have it on their $PATH). Stop prepending the
38 path in which "git" is installed to users' $PATH, as that would
39 interfere the command search order people depend on (e.g. they may
40 not like versions of programs that are unrelated to Git in /usr/bin
41 and want to override them by having different ones in /usr/local/bin
42 and have the latter directory earlier in their $PATH).
44 Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
45 clean-ups.
