We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc, meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting. It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files, since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new extension as well. Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the documentation. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Git v2.12.2 Release Notes
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v2.12.1
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* "git status --porcelain" is supposed to give a stable output, but a
|
|
few strings were left as translatable by mistake.
|
|
|
|
* "Dumb http" transport used to misparse a nonsense http-alternates
|
|
response, which has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff --quiet" relies on the size field in diff_filespec to be
|
|
correctly populated, but diff_populate_filespec() helper function
|
|
made an incorrect short-cut when asked only to populate the size
|
|
field for paths that need to go through convert_to_git() (e.g. CRLF
|
|
conversion).
|
|
|
|
* There is no need for Python only to give a few messages to the
|
|
standard error stream, but we somehow did.
|
|
|
|
* A leak in a codepath to read from a packed object in (rare) cases
|
|
has been plugged.
|
|
|
|
* "git upload-pack", which is a counter-part of "git fetch", did not
|
|
report a request for a ref that was not advertised as invalid.
|
|
This is generally not a problem (because "git fetch" will stop
|
|
before making such a request), but is the right thing to do.
|
|
|
|
* A "gc.log" file left by a backgrounded "gc --auto" disables further
|
|
automatic gc; it has been taught to run at least once a day (by
|
|
default) by ignoring a stale "gc.log" file that is too old.
|
|
|
|
* "git remote rm X", when a branch has remote X configured as the
|
|
value of its branch.*.remote, tried to remove branch.*.remote and
|
|
branch.*.merge and failed if either is unset.
|
|
|
|
* A caller of tempfile API that uses stdio interface to write to
|
|
files may ignore errors while writing, which is detected when
|
|
tempfile is closed (with a call to ferror()). By that time, the
|
|
original errno that may have told us what went wrong is likely to
|
|
be long gone and was overwritten by an irrelevant value.
|
|
close_tempfile() now resets errno to EIO to make errno at least
|
|
predictable.
|
|
|
|
* "git show-branch" expected there were only very short branch names
|
|
in the repository and used a fixed-length buffer to hold them
|
|
without checking for overflow.
|
|
|
|
* The code that parses header fields in the commit object has been
|
|
updated for (micro)performance and code hygiene.
|
|
|
|
* A test that creates a confusing branch whose name is HEAD has been
|
|
corrected not to do so.
|
|
|
|
* "Cc:" on the trailer part does not have to conform to RFC strictly,
|
|
unlike in the e-mail header. "git send-email" has been updated to
|
|
ignore anything after '>' when picking addresses, to allow non-address
|
|
cruft like " # stable 4.4" after the address.
|
|
|
|
* "git push" had a handful of codepaths that could lead to a deadlock
|
|
when unexpected error happened, which has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Code to read submodule.<name>.ignore config did not state the
|
|
variable name correctly when giving an error message diagnosing
|
|
misconfiguration.
|
|
|
|
* "git ls-remote" and "git archive --remote" are designed to work
|
|
without being in a directory under Git's control. However, recent
|
|
updates revealed that we randomly look into a directory called
|
|
.git/ without actually doing necessary set-up when working in a
|
|
repository. Stop doing so.
|
|
|
|
* The code to parse the command line "git grep <patterns>... <rev>
|
|
[[--] <pathspec>...]" has been cleaned up, and a handful of bugs
|
|
have been fixed (e.g. we used to check "--" if it is a rev).
|
|
|
|
* The code to parse "git -c VAR=VAL cmd" and set configuration
|
|
variable for the duration of cmd had two small bugs, which have
|
|
been fixed.
|
|
This supersedes jc/config-case-cmdline topic that has been discarded.
|
|
|
|
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
