1 Git v2.9.3 Release Notes
2 ========================
7 * A helper function that takes the contents of a commit object and
8 finds its subject line did not ignore leading blank lines, as is
9 commonly done by other codepaths. Make it ignore leading blank
12 * Git does not know what the contents in the index should be for a
13 path added with "git add -N" yet, so "git grep --cached" should not
14 show hits (or show lack of hits, with -L) in such a path, but that
15 logic does not apply to "git grep", i.e. searching in the working
16 tree files. But we did so by mistake, which has been corrected.
18 * "git rebase -i --autostash" did not restore the auto-stashed change
19 when the operation was aborted.
21 * "git commit --amend --allow-empty-message -S" for a commit without
22 any message body could have misidentified where the header of the
25 * More mark-up updates to typeset strings that are expected to
26 literally typed by the end user in fixed-width font.
28 * For a long time, we carried an in-code comment that said our
29 colored output would work only when we use fprintf/fputs on
30 Windows, which no longer is the case for the past few years.
32 * "gc.autoPackLimit" when set to 1 should not trigger a repacking
33 when there is only one pack, but the code counted poorly and did
36 * One part of "git am" had an oddball helper function that called
37 stuff from outside "his" as opposed to calling what we have "ours",
38 which was not gender-neutral and also inconsistent with the rest of
39 the system where outside stuff is usuall called "theirs" in
42 * The test framework learned a new helper test_match_signal to
43 check an exit code from getting killed by an expected signal.
45 * "git blame -M" missed a single line that was moved within the file.
47 * Fix recently introduced codepaths that are involved in parallel
48 submodule operations, which gave up on reading too early, and
49 could have wasted CPU while attempting to write under a corner
52 * "git grep -i" has been taught to fold case in non-ascii locales
55 * A test that unconditionally used "mktemp" learned that the command
56 is not necessarily available everywhere.
58 Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
