The + command now uses available configuration files to find its + customization. + - "auto filter" logic for large-object promisor remote. + - "git rev-list" and friends learn "--maximal-only" to show + only the commits that are not reachable by other commits. + - Command line completion (in contrib/) update for "stash + import/export". + - "git repo info" learns "--keys" action to list known keys. + - Extend the alias configuration syntax to allow aliases using + characters outside ASCII alphanumeric (plus '-'). + - A signature on a commit that was GPG signed a long time ago + ought to be still valid after the key that was used to sign + it has expired, but we showed them in alarming red. + - "git subtree split --prefix=P <commit>" now checks the prefix + P against the tree of the (potentially quite different from + the current working tree) given commit. + - "git add -p" learned a new mode that allows the user to + revisit a file that was already dealt with. + - Allow the directory in which reference backends store their + data to be specified. + - "gitweb" has been taught to be mobile friendly. + - "git apply --directory=./un/../normalized/path" now + normalizes the given path before using it. + - "git maintenance" starts using the "geometric" strategy by + default. + - "git config list" is taught to show the values interpreted + for specific type with "--type=<X>" option. + - "git add <submodule>" has been taught to honor + submodule.<name>.ignore that is set to "all" (and requires + "git add -f" to override it). + - Hook commands are now allowed to be defined (possibly + centrally) in the configuration files, and run multiple of + them for the same hook event. + - The way end-users can add their own "git <cmd>" subcommand by + storing "git-<cmd>" in a directory on their $PATH has not + been documented clearly, which has been corrected. + - "git send-email" learns to pass hostname/port to Authen::SASL + module. + - "git send-email" learns to support use of client-side + certificates. + - "git send-email" has learned to be a bit more careful when it + accepts charset to use from the end-user, to avoid 'y' + (mistaken 'yes' when expecting a charset like 'UTF-8') and + other nonsense. + - "git status" learned to show comparison between the current + branch and various other branches listed on + status.compareBranches configuration. + - "git repo structure" command learns to report maximum values + on various aspects of objects it inspects. + - "git rebase" learns "--trailer" option to drive the + interpret-trailers machinery. + - "git fast-import" learned to optionally replace signature on + commits whose signatures get invalidated due to replaying by + signing afresh. + - "git history" learned the "split" subcommand. + - The reference-transaction hook was taught to be triggered + before taking locks on references in the "preparing" phase. + - "git apply" now reports the name of the input file along with + the line number when it encounters a corrupt patch, and + correctly resets the line counter when processing multiple + patch files. + - The HTTP transport learned to react to "429 Too Many + Requests". + - "git repo info -h" and "git repo structure -h" limit their + help output to the part that is specific to the subcommand. + - "git format-patch --cover-letter" learns to use a simpler + format instead of the traditional shortlog format to list its + commits with a new --commit-list-format option and + format.commitListFormat configuration variable. + - `git backfill` learned to accept revision and pathspec + arguments. + - "git replay" (experimental) learns, in addition to "pick" and + "replay", a new operating mode "revert". + - "git replay" now supports replaying down to the root commit. + - Handling of signed commits and tags in fast-import has been + made more configurable. + - "git config list" is the official way to spell "git config + -l" and "git config --list". Use it to update the + documentation. + - Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. + - Avoid local submodule repository directory paths overlapping + with each other by encoding submodule names before using them + as path components. + - The string_list API gains a new helper, string_list_sort_u(), + and new unit tests to extend coverage. + - Improve set-up time of a perf test. + - ISO C23 redefines strchr and friends that traditionally took + a const pointer and returned a non-const pointer derived from + it to preserve constness (i.e., if you ask for a substring in + a const string, you get a const pointer to the substring). + Update code paths that used non-const pointer to receive + their results that did not have to be non-const to adjust. + - Rename three functions around the commit_list data structure. + - Transaction to create objects (or not) is currently tied to + the repository, but in the future a repository can have + multiple object sources, which may have different transaction + mechanisms. Make the odb transaction API per object source. + - "git merge-ours" is taught to work better in a sparse + checkout. + - Allow recording process ID of the process that holds the lock + next to a lockfile for diagnosis. + - Reduce dependency on the_repository of xdiff-interface layer. + - Code clean-up to use the commit_stack API. + - "git diff --anchored=<text>" has been optimized. + - A CodingGuidelines update. + - Add process ancestry data to trace2 on macOS to match what we + already do on Linux and Windows. Also adjust the way Windows + implementation reports this information to match the other + two. + - A handful of places used refs_for_each_ref_in() API + incorrectly, which has been corrected. + - Some tests assumed "iconv" is available without honoring + ICONV prerequisite, which has been corrected. + - Revamp object enumeration API around odb. + - Additional tests were introduced to see the interaction with + netrc auth with auth failure on the http transport. + - A couple of bugs in use of flag bits around odb API has been + corrected, and the flag bits reordered. + - Plumb gitk/git-gui build and install procedure in meson based + builds. + - The code to accept shallow "git push" has been optimized. + - Simplify build procedure for oxskeychain (in contrib/). + - Fix dependency screw-up in meson-based builds. + - Wean the mailmap code off of the_repository dependency. + - API clean-up for the worktree subsystem. + - The last uses of the_repository in "tree-diff.c" have been + eradicated. + - Clean-up the code around "git repo info" command. + - Mark the merge-ort codebase to prevent more uses of + the_repository from getting added. + - The core.attributesfile is intended to be set per repository, + but was kept track of by a single global variable in-core, + which has been corrected by moving it to per-repository data + structure. + - Use the hook API to replace ad-hoc invocation of hook scripts + via the run_command() API. + - Code refactoring around refs-for-each- - API functions. + - The parse-options API learned to notice an options[] array + with duplicated long options. (merge 237e520d81 + rs/parse-options-duplicated-long-options later to maint). + - The code to maintain mapping between object names in multiple + hash functions is being added, written in Rust. + - A bit of OIDmap API enhancement and cleanup. + - Move gitlab CI from macOS 14 images that are being + deprecated. + - The object source API is getting restructured to allow + plugging new backends. + - Reduce dependence on the global the_hash_algo and + the_repository variables of wt-status code path. + - The way combined list-object filter options are parsed has + been revamped. + - Editorconfig filename patterns were specified incorrectly, + making many source files inside subdirectories unaffected, + which has been corrected. + - The run_command() API lost its implicit dependency on the + singleton `the_repository` instance. + - The unit test helper function was taught to use backslash + + mnemonic notation for certain control characters like "\t", + instead of octal notation like "\011". + - Adjust test-lint to allow "sed -E" to use ERE in the + patterns. + - Clar (unit testing framework) update from the upstream. + - Reduce system overhead "git upload-pack" spends on relaying + "git pack-objects" output to the "git fetch" running on the + other end of the connection. + - Add a coccinelle rule to break the build when "struct strbuf" + gets passed by value. + - Further work on incremental repacking using MIDX/bitmap + - The logic to count objects has been cleaned up. + - Tweak the build infrastructure by moving tools around. + - Uses of prio_queue as a LIFO stack of commits have been + written with commit_stack. + - The cleanup of remaining bitmaps in "ahead_behind()" has been + simplified. + - split-index.c has been updated to not use the global + the_repository and the_hash_algo variables. + - The unsigned integer that is used as a bitset to specify the + kind of branches interpret_branch_name() function has been + changed to use a dedicated enum type. + - Various updates to contrib/diff-highlight, including + documentation updates, test improvements, and color + configuration handling. + - Code paths that loop over another array to push each element + into a strvec have been rewritten to use strvec_pushv() + instead. + - In case homebrew breaks REG_ENHANCED again, leave an in-code + comment to suggest use of our replacement regex as a + workaround. + - MinGW build updates. + - The way dash 0.5.13 handles non-ASCII contents in here-doc is + buggy and breaks our existing tests, which unfortunately have + been rewritten to avoid triggering the bug. + - Object name handling (disambiguation and abbreviation) has + been refactored to be backend-generic, moving logic into the + respective object database backends. + - pack-objects's --stdin-packs=follow mode learns to handle + excluded-but-open packs. + - A few code paths that spawned child processes for network + connection weren't wait(2)ing for their children and letting + "init" reap them instead; they have been tightened. + - Adjust the codebase for C23 that changes functions like + strchr() that discarded constness when they return a pointer + into a const string to preserve constness. + - A handful of inappropriate uses of the_repository have been + rewritten to use the right repository structure instance in + the read-cache.c codepath. + - Internals of "git fsck" have been refactored to not depend on + the global `the_repository` variable. + - Reduce dependency on `the_repository` in add-patch.c file. + - The way the "git log -L<range>:<file>" feature is bolted onto + the log/diff machinery is being reworked a bit to make the + feature compatible with more diff options, like -S/G. + - Further work to adjust the codebase for C23 that changes + functions like strchr() that discarded constness when they + return a pointer into a const string to preserve constness. + - "git rev-list --maximal-only" has been optimized by borrowing + the logic used by "git show-branch --independent", which + computes the same kind of information much more efficiently. + - Fixes since v2.53 + - HTTP transport failed to authenticate in some code paths, + which has been corrected.

This has been fixed. (merge + f4eff7116d ps/pack-concat-wo-backfill later to maint). + - "git switch <name>", in an attempt to create a local branch + <name> after a remote tracking branch of the same name gave + an advice message to disambiguate using "git checkout", which + has been updated to use "git switch".
