1 Git 2.30 Release Notes

2 ======================

4 Updates since v2.29

5 -------------------

7 UI, Workflows & Features

9 * Userdiff for PHP update.

11 * Userdiff for Rust update.

13 * Userdiff for CSS update.

15 * The command line completion script (in contrib/) learned that "git

16 stash show" takes the options "git diff" takes.

18 * "git worktree list" now shows if each worktree is locked. This

19 possibly may open us to show other kinds of states in the future.

21 * "git maintenance", an extended big brother of "git gc", continues

22 to evolve.

24 * "git push --force-with-lease[=<ref>]" can easily be misused to lose

25 commits unless the user takes good care of their own "git fetch".

26 A new option "--force-if-includes" attempts to ensure that what is

27 being force-pushed was created after examining the commit at the

28 tip of the remote ref that is about to be force-replaced.

30 * "git clone" learned clone.defaultremotename configuration variable

31 to customize what nickname to use to call the remote the repository

32 was cloned from.

34 * "git checkout" learned to use checkout.guess configuration variable

35 and enable/disable its "--[no-]guess" option accordingly.

37 * "git resurrect" script (in contrib/) learned that the object names

38 may be longer than 40-hex depending on the hash function in use.

41 Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc.

43 * Use "git archive" more to produce the release tarball.

45 * GitHub Actions automated test improvement to skip tests on a tree

46 identical to what has already been tested.

49 Fixes since v2.29

50 -----------------

52 * In 2.29, "--committer-date-is-author-date" option of "rebase" and

53 "am" subcommands lost the e-mail address by mistake, which has been

54 corrected.

55 (merge 5f35edd9d7 jk/committer-date-is-author-date-fix later to maint).

57 * "git checkout -p A...B [-- <path>]" did not work, even though the

58 same command without "-p" correctly used the merge-base between

59 commits A and B.

60 (merge 35166b1fb5 dl/checkout-p-merge-base later to maint).

62 * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.

63 (merge 3e0a5dc9af cc/doc-filter-branch-typofix later to maint).

64 (merge 32c83afc2c cw/ci-ghwf-check-ws-errors later to maint).

65 (merge 5eb2ed691b rs/tighten-callers-of-deref-tag later to maint).
