1 Git v2.13.3 Release Notes
2 =========================
7 * The "collision detecting" SHA-1 implementation shipped with 2.13.2
8 was still broken on some platforms. Update to the upstream code
9 again to take their fix.
11 * The 'diff-highlight' program (in contrib/) has been restructured
12 for easier reuse by an external project 'diff-so-fancy'.
14 * "git mergetool" learned to work around a wrapper MacOS X adds
15 around underlying meld.
17 * An example in documentation that does not work in multi worktree
18 configuration has been corrected.
20 * The pretty-format specifiers like '%h', '%t', etc. had an
21 optimization that no longer works correctly. In preparation/hope
22 of getting it correctly implemented, first discard the optimization
25 * The code to pick up and execute command alias definition from the
26 configuration used to switch to the top of the working tree and
27 then come back when the expanded alias was executed, which was
28 unnecessarilyl complex. Attempt to simplify the logic by using the
29 early-config mechanism that does not chdir around.
31 * "git add -p" were updated in 2.12 timeframe to cope with custom
32 core.commentchar but the implementation was buggy and a
33 metacharacter like $ and * did not work.
35 * Fix a recent regression to "git rebase -i" and add tests that would
36 have caught it and others.
38 * An unaligned 32-bit access in pack-bitmap code ahs been corrected.
40 * Tighten error checks for invalid "git apply" input.
42 * The split index code did not honor core.sharedrepository setting
45 * The Makefile rule in contrib/subtree for building documentation
46 learned to honour USE_ASCIIDOCTOR just like the main documentation
49 * A few tests that tried to verify the contents of push certificates
50 did not use 'git rev-parse' to formulate the line to look for in
51 the certificate correctly.
53 * After "git branch --move" of the currently checked out branch, the
54 code to walk the reflog of HEAD via "log -g" and friends
55 incorrectly stopped at the reflog entry that records the renaming
58 * The rewrite of "git branch --list" using for-each-ref's internals
59 that happened in v2.13 regressed its handling of color.branch.local;
62 Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
