1 Git v2.30.1 Release Notes
2 =========================
4 This release is primarily to merge fixes accumulated on the 'master'
5 front to prepare for 2.31 release that are still relevant to 2.30.x
6 maintenance track.
8 Fixes since v2.30
9 -----------------
11 * "git fetch --recurse-submodules" failed to update a submodule
12 when it has an uninitialized (hence of no interest to the user)
13 sub-submodule, which has been corrected.
15 * Command line error of "git rebase" are diagnosed earlier.
17 * "git stash" did not work well in a sparsely checked out working
18 tree.
20 * Some tests expect that "ls -l" output has either '-' or 'x' for
21 group executable bit, but setgid bit can be inherited from parent
22 directory and make these fields 'S' or 's' instead, causing test
23 failures.
25 * "git for-each-repo --config=<var> <cmd>" should not run <cmd> for
26 any repository when the configuration variable <var> is not defined
27 even once.
29 * "git mergetool --tool-help" was broken in 2.29 and failed to list
30 all the available tools.
32 * Fix for procedure to building CI test environment for mac.
34 * Newline characters in the host and path part of git:// URL are
35 now forbidden.
37 * When more than one commit with the same patch ID appears on one
38 side, "git log --cherry-pick A...B" did not exclude them all when a
39 commit with the same patch ID appears on the other side. Now it
40 does.
42 * Documentation for "git fsck" lost stale bits that has become
43 incorrect.
45 * Doc for packfile URI feature has been clarified.
47 * The implementation of "git branch --sort" wrt the detached HEAD
48 display has always been hacky, which has been cleaned up.
50 * Our setting of GitHub CI test jobs were a bit too eager to give up
51 once there is even one failure found. Tweak the knob to allow
52 other jobs keep running even when we see a failure, so that we can
53 find more failures in a single run.
55 Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
