1 Git v2.3 Release Notes
2 ======================
4 Updates since v2.2
5 ------------------
7 Ports
9 *
11 UI, Workflows & Features
13 * It was cumbersome to use "GIT_SSH" mechanism when the user wanted
14 to pass an extra set of arguments to the underlying ssh. A new
15 environment variable GIT_SSH_COMMAND can be used for this.
17 * A request to store an empty note via "git notes" meant to remove
18 note from the object but with --allow-empty we will store a
19 (surprise!) note that is empty.
22 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.
24 *
27 Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
30 Fixes since v2.2
31 ----------------
33 Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v2.2 in the maintenance
34 track are contained in this release (see the maintenance releases'
35 notes for details).
37 * "git checkout $treeish $path", when $path in the index and the
38 working tree already matched what is in $treeish at the $path,
39 still overwrote the $path unnecessarily.
40 (merge c5326bd jk/checkout-from-tree later to maint).
42 * "git config --get-color" did not parse its command line arguments
43 carefully.
44 (merge cb35722 jk/colors-fix later to maint).
46 * open() emulated on Windows platforms did not give EISDIR upon
47 an attempt to open a directory for writing.
48 (merge ba6fad0 js/windows-open-eisdir-error later to maint).
50 * A few code paths used abs() when they should have used labs() on
51 long integers.
52 (merge 83915ba rs/maint-config-use-labs later to maint).
53 (merge 31a8aa1 rs/receive-pack-use-labs later to maint).
55 * "gitweb" used to depend on a behaviour recent CGI.pm deprecated.
56 (merge 13dbf46 jk/gitweb-with-newer-cgi-multi-param later to maint).
58 * "git init" (hence "git clone") initialized the per-repository
59 configuration file .git/config with x-bit by mistake.
60 (merge 1f32ecf mh/config-flip-xbit-back-after-checking later to maint).
62 * Git 2.0 was supposed to make the "simple" mode for the default of
63 "git push", but it didn't.
64 (merge 00a6fa0 jk/push-simple later to maint).
66 * "Everyday" document had a broken link.
67 (merge 366c8d4 po/everyday-doc later to maint).
69 * A few test fixes.
70 (merge 880ef58 jk/no-perl-tests later to maint).
72 * The build procedure did not bother fixing perl and python scripts
73 when NO_PERL and NO_PYTHON build-time configuration changed.
74 (merge ca2051d jk/rebuild-perl-scripts-with-no-perl-seting-change later to maint).
