1 Git 2.28 Release Notes
2 ======================
4 Updates since v2.27
5 -------------------
7 Backward compatibility notes
9 * "feature.experimental" configuration variable is to let volunteers
10 easily opt into a set of newer features, which use of the v2
11 transport protocol is now a part of.
14 UI, Workflows & Features
16 * The commands in the "diff" family learned to honor "diff.relative"
17 configuration variable.
21 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
23 * Code optimization for a common case.
24 (merge 8777616e4d an/merge-single-strategy-optim later to maint).
26 * We've adopted a convention that any on-stack structure can be
27 initialized to have zero values in all fields with "= { 0 }",
28 even when the first field happens to be a pointer, but sparse
29 complained that a null pointer should be spelled NULL for a long
30 time. Start using -Wno-universal-initializer option to squelch
31 it (the latest sparse has it on by default).
35 Fixes since v2.27
36 -----------------
38 * The "--prepare-p4-only" option of "git p4" is supposed to stop
39 after replaying one changeset, but kept going (by mistake?)
41 * The error message from "git checkout -b foo -t bar baz" was
42 confusing.
44 * Some repositories in the wild have commits that record nonsense
45 committer timezone (e.g. rails.git); "git fast-import" learned an
46 option to pass these nonsense timestamps intact to allow recreating
47 existing repositories as-is.
48 (merge d42a2fb72f en/fast-import-looser-date later to maint).
50 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
51 (merge 2c31a7aa44 jx/pkt-line-doc-count-fix later to maint).
52 (merge d63ae31962 cb/t5608-cleanup later to maint).
