3030 * Update a few tests that used to use GIT_CURL_VERBOSE to use the
3131 newer GIT_TRACE_CURL.
3232
33+ * Update Japanese translation for "git-gui".
34+
35+ * "git fetch http::/site/path" did not die correctly and segfaulted
36+ instead.
37+
38+ * "git commit-tree" stopped reading commit.gpgsign configuration
39+ variable that was meant for Porcelain "git commit" in Git 2.9; we
40+ forgot to update "git gui" to look at the configuration to match
41+ this change.
42+
43+ * "git log --cherry-pick" used to include merge commits as candidates
44+ to be matched up with other commits, resulting a lot of wasted time.
45+ The patch-id generation logic has been updated to ignore merges to
46+ avoid the wastage.
47+
48+ * The http transport (with curl-multi option, which is the default
49+ these days) failed to remove curl-easy handle from a curlm session,
50+ which led to unnecessary API failures.
51+
52+ * "git diff -W" output needs to extend the context backward to
53+ include the header line of the current function and also forward to
54+ include the body of the entire current function up to the header
55+ line of the next one. This process may have to merge to adjacent
56+ hunks, but the code forgot to do so in some cases.
57+
58+ * Performance tests done via "t/perf" did not use the same set of
59+ build configuration if the user relied on autoconf generated
60+ configuration.
61+
62+ * "git format-patch --base=..." feature that was recently added
63+ showed the base commit information after "-- " e-mail signature
64+ line, which turned out to be inconvenient. The base information
65+ has been moved above the signature line.
66+
67+ * Even when "git pull --rebase=preserve" (and the underlying "git
68+ rebase --preserve") can complete without creating any new commit
69+ (i.e. fast-forwards), it still insisted on having a usable ident
70+ information (read: user.email is set correctly), which was less
71+ than nice. As the underlying commands used inside "git rebase"
72+ would fail with a more meaningful error message and advice text
73+ when the bogus ident matters, this extra check was removed.
74+
75+ * "git gc --aggressive" used to limit the delta-chain length to 250,
76+ which is way too deep for gaining additional space savings and is
77+ detrimental for runtime performance. The limit has been reduced to
78+ 50.
79+
80+ * Documentation for individual configuration variables to control use
81+ of color (like `color.grep`) said that their default value is
82+ 'false', instead of saying their default is taken from `color.ui`.
83+ When we updated the default value for color.ui from 'false' to
84+ 'auto' quite a while ago, all of them broke. This has been
85+ corrected.
86+
87+ * A shell script example in check-ref-format documentation has been
88+ fixed.
89+
90+ * "git checkout <word>" does not follow the usual disambiguation
91+ rules when the <word> can be both a rev and a path, to allow
92+ checking out a branch 'foo' in a project that happens to have a
93+ file 'foo' in the working tree without having to disambiguate.
94+ This was poorly documented and the check was incorrect when the
95+ command was run from a subdirectory.
96+
97+ * Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was
98+ mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read
99+ beyond the end of the mapped region. This was fixed by introducing
100+ a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND
101+ extension.
102+
103+ * The procedure to build Git on Mac OS X for Travis CI hardcoded the
104+ internal directory structure we assumed HomeBrew uses, which was a
105+ no-no. The procedure has been updated to ask HomeBrew things we
106+ need to know to fix this.
107+
108+ * When "git rebase -i" is given a broken instruction, it told the
109+ user to fix it with "--edit-todo", but didn't say what the step
110+ after that was (i.e. "--continue").
111+
112+ * "git add --chmod=+x" added recently lacked documentation, which has
113+ been corrected.
114+
115+ * "git add --chmod=+x <pathspec>" added recently only toggled the
116+ executable bit for paths that are either new or modified. This has
117+ been corrected to flip the executable bit for all paths that match
118+ the given pathspec.
119+
33120Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
