1 Git 2.38.2 Release Notes
2 ========================
4 This is to backport various fixes accumulated during the development
5 towards Git 2.39, the next feature release.
8 Fixes since v2.38.1
9 -------------------
11 * Update CodingGuidelines to clarify what features to use and avoid
12 in C99.
14 * The codepath that reads from the index v4 had unaligned memory
15 accesses, which has been corrected.
17 * "git remote rename" failed to rename a remote without fetch
18 refspec, which has been corrected.
20 * "git clone" did not like to see the "--bare" and the "--origin"
21 options used together without a good reason.
23 * Fix messages incorrectly marked for translation.
25 * "git fsck" failed to release contents of tree objects already used
26 from the memory, which has been fixed.
28 * "git rebase -i" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to a commit
29 itself, which has been corrected.
31 * In read-only repositories, "git merge-tree" tried to come up with a
32 merge result tree object, which it failed (which is not wrong) and
33 led to a segfault (which is bad), which has been corrected.
35 * Force C locale while running tests around httpd to make sure we can
36 find expected error messages in the log.
38 * Fix a logic in "mailinfo -b" that miscomputed the length of a
39 substring, which lead to an out-of-bounds access.
41 * The codepath to sign learned to report errors when it fails to read
42 from "ssh-keygen".
44 * "GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description" resulted in failure,
45 which has been corrected.
47 * Documentation on various Boolean GIT_* environment variables have
48 been clarified.
50 * "git multi-pack-index repack/expire" used to repack unreachable
51 cruft into a new pack, which have been corrected.
53 * The code to clean temporary object directories (used for
54 quarantine) tried to remove them inside its signal handler, which
55 was a no-no.
57 * "git branch --edit-description" on an unborh branch misleadingly
58 said that no such branch exists, which has been corrected.
60 Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
