Git v2.14.2 Release Notes

=========================

Fixes since v2.14.1

-------------------

* Because recent Git for Windows do come with a real msgfmt, the

build procedure for git-gui has been updated to use it instead of a

hand-rolled substitute.

* "%C(color name)" in the pretty print format always produced ANSI

color escape codes, which was an early design mistake. They now

honor the configuration (e.g. "color.ui = never") and also tty-ness

of the output medium.

* The http.{sslkey,sslCert} configuration variables are to be

interpreted as a pathname that honors "~[username]/" prefix, but

weren't, which has been fixed.

* Numerous bugs in walking of reflogs via "log -g" and friends have

been fixed.

* "git commit" when seeing an totally empty message said "you did not

edit the message", which is clearly wrong. The message has been

corrected.

* When a directory is not readable, "gitweb" fails to build the

project list. Work this around by skipping such a directory.

* A recently added test for the "credential-cache" helper revealed

that EOF detection done around the time the connection to the cache

daemon is torn down were flaky. This was fixed by reacting to

ECONNRESET and behaving as if we got an EOF.

Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
