Git v2.7.3 Release Notes
 | 
						|
========================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Fixes since v2.7.2
 | 
						|
------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Traditionally, the tests that try commands that work on the
 | 
						|
   contents in the working tree were named with "worktree" in their
 | 
						|
   filenames, but with the recent addition of "git worktree"
 | 
						|
   subcommand, whose tests are also named similarly, it has become
 | 
						|
   harder to tell them apart.  The traditional tests have been renamed
 | 
						|
   to use "work-tree" instead in an attempt to differentiate them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Many codepaths forget to check return value from git_config_set();
 | 
						|
   the function is made to die() to make sure we do not proceed when
 | 
						|
   setting a configuration variable failed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Handling of errors while writing into our internal asynchronous
 | 
						|
   process has been made more robust, which reduces flakiness in our
 | 
						|
   tests.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * "git show 'HEAD:Foo[BAR]Baz'" did not interpret the argument as a
 | 
						|
   rev, i.e. the object named by the the pathname with wildcard
 | 
						|
   characters in a tree object.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * "git rev-parse --git-common-dir" used in the worktree feature
 | 
						|
   misbehaved when run from a subdirectory.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * The "v(iew)" subcommand of the interactive "git am -i" command was
 | 
						|
   broken in 2.6.0 timeframe when the command was rewritten in C.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * "git merge-tree" used to mishandle "both sides added" conflict with
 | 
						|
   its own "create a fake ancestor file that has the common parts of
 | 
						|
   what both sides have added and do a 3-way merge" logic; this has
 | 
						|
   been updated to use the usual "3-way merge with an empty blob as
 | 
						|
   the fake common ancestor file" approach used in the rest of the
 | 
						|
   system.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * The memory ownership rule of fill_textconv() API, which was a bit
 | 
						|
   tricky, has been documented a bit better.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * The documentation did not clearly state that the 'simple' mode is
 | 
						|
   now the default for "git push" when push.default configuration is
 | 
						|
   not set.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * Recent versions of GNU grep are pickier when their input contains
 | 
						|
   arbitrary binary data, which some of our tests uses.  Rewrite the
 | 
						|
   tests to sidestep the problem.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * A helper function "git submodule" uses since v2.7.0 to list the
 | 
						|
   modules that match the pathspec argument given to its subcommands
 | 
						|
   (e.g. "submodule add <repo> <path>") has been fixed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * "git config section.var value" to set a value in per-repository
 | 
						|
   configuration file failed when it was run outside any repository,
 | 
						|
   but didn't say the reason correctly.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 * The code to read the pack data using the offsets stored in the pack
 | 
						|
   idx file has been made more carefully check the validity of the
 | 
						|
   data in the idx.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Also includes documentation and test updates.
