Changelog for git-cvs-2.43.0-3.2.i586.rpm :

* Tue Jan 09 2024 Christian Boltz - gitweb AppArmor profile: allow reading etc/gitweb-common.conf (boo#1218664)
* Mon Jan 08 2024 Christian Boltz - git moved to /usr/libexec/git/git, update AppArmor profile accordingly (boo#1218588)
* Tue Nov 21 2023 Dirk Müller - update to 2.43.0:
* The \"--rfc\" option of \"git format-patch\" used to be a valid way to override an earlier \"--subject-prefix=\" on the command line and replace it with \"[RFC PATCH]\", but from this release, it merely prefixes the string \"RFC \" in front of the given subject prefix. If you are negatively affected by this change, please use \"--subject-prefix=PATCH --rfc\" as a replacement.
* In Git 2.42, \"git rev-list --stdin\" learned to take non-revisions (like \"--not\") from the standard input, but the way such a \"--not\" was handled was quite confusing, which has been rethought. The updated rule is that \"--not\" given from the command line only affects revs given from the command line that comes but not revs read from the standard input, and \"--not\" read from the standard input affects revs given from the standard input and not revs given from the command line.
* A message written in olden time prevented a branch from getting checked out, saying it is already checked out elsewhere. But these days, we treat a branch that is being bisected or rebased just like a branch that is checked out and protect it from getting modified with the same codepath. The message has been rephrased to say that the branch is \"in use\" to avoid confusion.
* Hourly and other schedules of \"git maintenance\" jobs are randomly distributed now.
* \"git cmd -h\" learned to signal which options can be negated by listing such options like \"--[no-]opt\".
* The way authentication related data other than passwords (e.g., oauth token and password expiration data) are stored in libsecret keyrings has been rethought.
* Update the libsecret and wincred credential helpers to correctly match which credential to erase; they erased the wrong entry in some cases.
* Git GUI updates.
* \"git format-patch\" learned a new \"--description-file\" option that lets cover letter description to be fed; this can be used on detached HEAD where there is no branch description available, and also can override the branch description if there is one.
* Use of the \"--max-pack-size\" option to allow multiple packfiles to be created is now supported even when we are sending unreachable objects to cruft packs.
* \"git format-patch --rfc --subject-prefix=\" used to ignore the \"--subject-prefix\" option and used \"[RFC PATCH]\"; now we will add \"RFC\" prefix to whatever subject prefix is specified.
* \"git log --format\" has been taught the %(decorate) placeholder for further customization over what the \"--decorate\" option offers.
* The default log message created by \"git revert\", when reverting a commit that records a revert, has been tweaked, to encourage people to describe complex \"revert of revert of revert\" situations better in their own words.
* The command-line completion support (in contrib/) learned to complete \"git commit --trailer=\" for possible trailer keys.
* \"git update-index\" learned the \"--show-index-version\" option to inspect the index format version used by the on-disk index file.
* \"git diff\" learned the \"diff.statNameWidth\" configuration variable, to give the default width for the name part in the \"--stat\" output.
* \"git range-diff --notes=foo\" compared \"log --notes=foo --notes\" of the two ranges, instead of using just the specified notes tree, which has been corrected to use only the specified notes tree.
* The command line completion script (in contrib/) can be told to complete aliases by including \": git ;\" in the alias to tell it that the alias should be completed in a similar way to how \"git \" is completed. The parsing code for the alias has been loosened to allow \';\' without an extra space before it.
* \"git for-each-ref\" and friends learned to apply mailmap to authorname and other fields in a more flexible way than using separate placeholder letters like %a[eElL] every time we want to come up with small variants.
* \"git repack\" machinery learned to pay attention to the \"--filter=\" option.
* \"git repack\" learned the \"--max-cruft-size\" option to prevent cruft packs from growing without bounds.
* \"git merge-tree\" learned to take strategy backend specific options via the \"-X\" option, like \"git merge\" does.
* \"git log\" and friends learned the \"--dd\" option that is a short-hand for \"--diff-merges=first-parent -p\".
* The attribute subsystem learned to honor the \"attr.tree\" configuration variable that specifies which tree to read the .gitattributes files from.
* \"git merge-file\" learns a mode to read three variants of the contents to be merged from blob objects.
* see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.43.0.txt
* Sat Nov 04 2023 Andreas Stieger - git 2.42.1:
* The usual number of bug fixes, including
* Fix \"git diff\" exit code handling
* Various fixes to the behavior of \"rebase -i\" when the command got interrupted by conflicting changes
* Mon Oct 23 2023 Michal Suchanek - Add rule for /etc/gitconfig in gitweb.cgi apparmor profile (bsc#1216501).
* Mon Oct 23 2023 Christian Boltz - gitweb.cgi AppArmor profile - make the profile a named profile - add local/ include to make custom additions easier
* Fri Sep 22 2023 Michal Suchanek - Downgrade openssh dependency to recommends (bsc#1215533)
* Wed Aug 23 2023 Andreas Stieger - git 2.42.0:
* \"git pack-refs\" learns \"--include\" and \"--exclude\" to tweak the ref hierarchy to be packed using pattern matching.
* \'git worktree add\' learned how to create a worktree based on an orphaned branch with `--orphan`.
* \"git pack-objects\" learned to invoke a new hook program that enumerates extra objects to be used as anchoring points to keep otherwise unreachable objects in cruft packs.
* Add more \"git var\" for toolsmiths to learn various locations Git is configured with either via the configuration or hard-coded defaults.
* \'git notes append\' was taught \'--separator\' to specify string to insert between paragraphs.
* The \"git for-each-ref\" family of commands learned placeholders related to GPG signature verification.
* \"git diff --no-index\" learned to read from named pipes as if they were regular files, to allow \"git diff <(process) <(substitution)\" some shells support.
* Help newbies by suggesting that there are cases where force-pushing is a valid and sensible thing to update a branch at a remote repository, rather than reconciling with merge/rebase.
* \"git blame --contents=file\" has been taught to work in a bare repository.
* \"git branch -f X\" to repoint the branch X said that X was \"checked out\" in another worktree, even when branch X was not and instead being bisected or rebased. The message was reworded to say the branch was \"in use\".
* Tone down the warning on SHA-256 repositories being an experimental curiosity. We do not have support for them to interoperate with traditional SHA-1 repositories, but at this point, we do not plan to make breaking changes to SHA-256 repositories and there is no longer need for such a strongly phrased warning.
* \"git diff-tree\" has been taught to take advantage of the sparse-index feature.
* The object traversal using reachability bitmap done by \"pack-object\" has been tweaked to take advantage of the fact that using \"boundary\" commits as representative of all the uninteresting ones can save quite a lot of object enumeration.
* \"git worktree\" learned to work better with sparse index feature.
* When the external merge driver is killed by a signal, its output should not be trusted as a resolution with conflicts that is proposed by the driver, but the code did.
* The set-up code for the get_revision() API now allows feeding options like --all and --not in the --stdin mode.
* Move functions that are not about pure string manipulation out of strbuf.[ch]
* \"imap-send\" codepaths got cleaned up to get rid of unused parameters.
* Enumerating refs in the packed-refs file, while excluding refs that match certain patterns, has been optimized.
* Mark-up unused parameters in the code so that we can eventually enable -Wunused-parameter by default.
* Instead of inventing a custom counter variables for debugging, use existing trace2 facility in the fsync customization codepath.
* \"git branch --list --format=\" and friends are taught a new \"%(describe)\" placeholder.
* Clarify how to choose the starting point for a new topic in developer guidance document.
* The implementation of \"get_sha1_hex()\" that reads a hexadecimal string that spells a full object name has been extended to cope with any hash function used in the repository, but the \"sha1\" in its name survived. Rename it to get_hash_hex(), a name that is more consistent within its friends like get_hash_hex_algop().
* Command line parser fix, and a small parse-options API update.
* bug fixes
* Sat Jun 03 2023 Andreas Stieger - git 2.41.0: This update contains a number of compatible updates, improvements and extensions to multiple workflows. Some changes may break backwards compatibility:
* The libsecret credential helper obsoletes direct GNOME keyring support, which was dropped (git-credential-gnome-keyring)
* \"git format-patch\" has been taught to ignore end-user configuration (\"diff.noprefix\") and always use the standard prefixes, to avoid breaking the receiving end of the patch- drop sha256_clone_fix.patch
* Tue Apr 25 2023 Andreas Stieger - git 2.40.1:
* CVE-2023-25652: By feeding specially crafted input to git apply - -reject, a path outside the working tree can be overwritten with partially controlled contents (corresponding to the rejected hunk(s) from the given patch).
* CVE-2023-25815: When Git is compiled with runtime prefix support and runs without translated messages, it still used the gettext machinery to display messages, which subsequently potentially looked for translated messages in unexpected places. This allowed for malicious placement of crafted messages.
* CVE-2023-29007: When renaming or deleting a section from a configuration file, certain malicious configuration values may be misinterpreted as the beginning of a new configuration section, leading to arbitrary configuration injection.
* Thu Apr 06 2023 Adam Majer - sha256_clone_fix.patch: fix cloning of empty sha256 repositories (jsc#PED-3891)
* Mon Mar 13 2023 Andreas Stieger - git 2.40.0:
* backward incompatible change: The format.attach configuration variable lacked a way to override a value defined in a lower-priority configuration file (e.g. the system one) by redefining it in a higher-priority configuration file. Now, setting format.attach to an empty string means show the patch inline in the e-mail message, without using MIME attachment.
* multiple commands and workflows gained additional options, compatible functionality, or more helpful output
* \"grep -P\" learned to use Unicode Character Property to grok character classes when processing \\b and \\w etc.
* under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes- The scripted \"git add -p/-i\" implementation was removed upstream. The openSUSE package already preferred the C implementation.
* Tue Feb 14 2023 Andreas Stieger - git 2.39.2:
* CVE-2023-22490: Using a specially-crafted repository, Git can be tricked into using its local clone optimization even when using a non-local transport boo#1208027
* CVE-2023-23946: a path outside the working tree can be overwritten as the user who is running \"git apply\" boo#1208028
* Tue Jan 17 2023 Andreas Stieger - git 2.39.1, fixing two security issues that could allow remote code execution when accessing specially crafted repositories:
* CVE-2022-41903: log format integer overflow boo#1207033
* CVE-2022-23521: gitattributed parsing integer overflow boo#1207032
* Thu Dec 15 2022 Dirk Müller - switch to pkgconfig(zlib) so that alternative providers can be used
* Mon Dec 12 2022 Andreas Stieger - git 2.39.0:
* \"git grep\" learned to expand the sparse-index more lazily and on demand in a sparse checkout.
* By default, use of fsmonitor on a repository on networked filesystem is disabled.
* After checking out a \"branch\" that is a symbolic-ref that points at another branch, \"git symbolic-ref HEAD\" reports the underlying branch, not the symbolic-ref the user gave checkout as argument. The command learned the \"--no-recurse\" option to stop after dereferencing a symbolic-ref only once.
* \"git branch --edit-description AATT{-1}\" is now a way to edit branch description of the branch you were on before switching to the current branch.
* \"git merge-tree --stdin\" is a new way to request a series of merges and report the merge results.
* \"git shortlog\" learned to group by the \"format\" string.
* A new \"--include-whitespace\" option is added to \"git patch-id\", and existing bugs in the internal patch-id logic that did not match what \"git patch-id\" produces have been corrected.
* Enable gc.cruftpacks by default for those who opt into feature.experimental setting.
* \"git repack\" learns to send cruft objects out of the way into packfiles outside the repository.
* \'scalar reconfigure -a\' is taught to automatically remove scalar.repo entires which no longer exist.
* Redact headers from cURL\'s h2h3 module in GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and others.
* \'git maintenance register\' is taught to write configuration to an arbitrary path, and \'git for-each-repo\' is taught to expand tilde characters in paths.
* When creating new notes, the template used to get a stray empty newline, which has been removed.
* \"git receive-pack\" used to use all the local refs as the boundary for checking connectivity of the data \"git push\" sent, but now it uses only the refs that it advertised to the pusher. In a repository with the .hideRefs configuration, this reduces the resources needed to perform the check.
* With \'--recurse-submodules=on-demand\', all submodules are recursively pushed.
* developer visible fixes
* Mon Dec 12 2022 Andreas Stieger - git 2.38.2, a general maintenance release:
* Fix unaligned memory access for reads from the index v4
* \"git remote rename\" failed to rename a remote without fetch refspec, which has been corrected.
* \"git clone\" did not like to see the \"--bare\" and the \"--origin\" options used together without a good reason.
* \"git fsck\" failed to release contents of tree objects already used from the memory
* \"git rebase -i\" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to commit itself, which has been corrected.
* Fix segfault with \"git merge-tree\" on read-only repositories
* Fix a logic in \"mailinfo -b\" that miscomputed the length of a substring, which lead to an out-of-bounds access.
* The codepath to sign learned to report errors when it fails to read from \"ssh-keygen\".
* \"GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description\" resulted in failure
* \"git multi-pack-index repack/expire\" used to repack unreachable cruft into a new pack, which have been corrected.
* The code to clean temporary object directories (used for quarantine) tried to remove them inside its signal handler
* \"git branch --edit-description\" on an unborh branch misleadingly said that no such branch exists
* `git rebase --update-refs` would delete references when all `update-ref` commands in the sequencer were removed
* Tue Nov 01 2022 Andreas Stieger - disable tests on s390x (check-chainlint)
* Wed Oct 26 2022 Dirk Müller - update to 2.38.1 (bsc#1204455, CVE-2022-39253, bsc#1204456, CVE-2022-39260):
* CVE-2022-39253: When relying on the `--local` clone optimization, Git dereferences symbolic links in the source repository before creating hardlinks (or copies) of the dereferenced link in the destination repository. This can lead to surprising behavior where arbitrary files are present in a repository\'s `$GIT_DIR` when cloning from a malicious repository. Git will no longer dereference symbolic links via the `--local` clone mechanism, and will instead refuse to clone repositories that have symbolic links present in the `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory. Additionally, the value of `protocol.file.allow` is changed to be \"user\" by default.
* CVE-2022-39260: An overly-long command string given to `git shell` can result in overflow in `split_cmdline()`, leading to arbitrary heap writes and remote code execution when `git shell` is exposed and the directory `$HOME/git-shell-commands` exists. `git shell` is taught to refuse interactive commands that are longer than 4MiB in size. `split_cmdline()` is hardened to reject inputs larger than 2GiB.
* Thu Oct 06 2022 Andreas Stieger - git 2.38.0:
* scalar: a repository management tool for large repositories
* new git rebase --update-refs (global rebase.updateRefs) to update dependent branches
* merge-tree integrated with the new ort merge strategy - -write-tree, while --trivial-merge retains the old mode
* bare git repositories can now be stored and distributed in other git repositories
* Setting the safe.bareRepository configuration to \"explicit\" avoids running arbitrary commands from filesystem monitoring hooks of untrusted git repositories unless --git-dir is set
* git grep: new -m / --max-count options to limit the number of matches per file
* git ls-files --format is a new option to customize outout
* git cat-file and git show now support mailmap author mapping
* bug fixes and performance improvements
* Thu Sep 22 2022 Dirk Müller - drop python2 requires as git-p4 is documented to work with python3
* Fri Sep 09 2022 Callum Farmer - Remove nogroup requirement: no longer needed
* Fri Sep 02 2022 Andreas Stieger - git 2.37.3:
* Plug memory leaks in the failure code path in the \"merge-ort\" merge strategy backend.
* \"vimdiff3\" regression has been corrected
* \"git fsck\" improvements
* Fixes to sparse index compatibility work for \"reset\" and \"checkout\" commands
* Documentation for \"git add --renormalize\" has been improved
* developer visible fixes
* Mon Aug 15 2022 Andreas Stieger - git 2.37.2:
* multiple bug fixes, developer visible or handling corner cases
* \"git p4\" improved non-ASCII support
* Tue Jul 12 2022 Andreas Stieger - git 2.37.1:
* Rewrite of \"git add -i\" in C that appeared in Git 2.25 didn\'t correctly record a removed file to the index, which is an old regression but has become widely known because the C version has become the default in the latest release.
* Fix for CVE-2022-29187 [boo#1201431]: The safety check that verifies a safe ownership of the Git worktree is now extended to also cover the ownership of the Git directory (and the `.git` file, if there is any).
* Mon Jul 11 2022 olafAATTaepfle.de- Usage of sysusers_requires is optional, like during quilt setup
* Sun Jul 10 2022 Callum Farmer - Use the system user\'s group instead of nogroup
* Fri Jul 08 2022 Petr Vorel - Add /etc/bash_completion.d/git-prompt: checks for git-prompt.sh and source it if available. Some users rely on the __git_ps1 function becoming available when bash-completion is loaded. Continue to load this library at bash-completion startup for now, to ease the transition to a world order where the prompt function is requested separately. Inspired by Debian.
* Thu Jul 07 2022 Danilo Spinella - Update git to 2.37.0: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.37.0.txt- git add --interactive is now default upstream, remove suse patch:
* suse-use-builtin-add-interactive.patch
* Wed Jun 15 2022 Antoine Belvire - Fix rpmlint errors/warnings about bash/zsh completion locations.- Remove now obsolete git-zsh-completion-fixes.diff.- Adjust git-tcsh-completion-fixes.diff.
* Tue May 24 2022 Dominique Leuenberger - Do not recommend git-cvs and git-svn by git, but rather have those two packages supplement the combination of git and their respective counterparts.
* Fri May 06 2022 Andreas Stieger - git 2.36.1:
* fix \"git submodule update\" noisyness without pathspec
* fix \"diff-tree --stdin\"
* fix \"git name-rev\" referenging strings after they are freed
* fix \"git show ... -- \" loosing the pathspec when showing the second and subsequent commits
* fix \"git fast-export -- \" loosing the pathspec when showing the second and subsequent commits
* fix \"git format-patch -- \" loosing the pathspec when showing the second and subsequent commits
* Tue Apr 19 2022 Andreas Stieger - git 2.36.0:
* \"git name-rev --stdin\" has been deprecated and issues a warning when used; use \"git name-rev --annotate-stdin\" instead.
* \"git clone --filter=... --recurse-submodules\" only makes the top-level a partial clone, while submodules are fully cloned. This behaviour is changed to pass the same filter down to the submodules.
* improvements and extensions to multiple workflows and features
* bug fixes and performance improvements
* Thu Apr 14 2022 Andreas Stieger - git 2.35.3:
* usability fix-up for CVE-2022-24765 bsc#1198234: \'
*\' can be used as the value for the `safe.directory` variable to signal that the user considers that any directory is safe.
* The code that was meant to parse the new `safe.directory` configuration variable was not checking what configuration variable was being fed to it
* Wed Apr 13 2022 olafAATTaepfle.de- Require bash in git-daemon because the service file uses it- Reword git-daemon.service description to get a useful sentence in journalctl -b
* Tue Apr 12 2022 Andreas Stieger - git 2.35.2 (CVE-2022-24765, bsc#1198234):
* CVE-2022-24765: git may execute commands defined by other users from unexpected worktrees
* Thu Mar 10 2022 chrisAATTcomputersalat.de- fix deps for SLES 12
* Mon Feb 21 2022 Bjørn Lie - \"Downgrade\" git-gui and gitk Recommends to Suggests.
* Sat Jan 29 2022 Andreas Stieger - update to 2.35.1:
* fix \"rebase\" and \"stash\" in a secondary worktree
* Fri Jan 28 2022 Dirk Müller - update to 2.35.0:
* \"_\" is now treated as any other URL-valid characters in an URL when matching the per-URL configuration variable names.
* The color palette used by \"git grep\" has been updated to match that of GNU grep.
* \"git status --porcelain=v2\" now show the number of stash entries with --show-stash like the normal output does.
* \"git stash\" learned the \"--staged\" option to stash away what has been added to the index (and nothing else).
* \"git var GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH\" is a way to see what name is used for the newly created branch if \"git init\" is run.
* Various operating modes of \"git reset\" have been made to work better with the sparse index.
* \"git submodule deinit\" for a submodule whose .git metadata directory is embedded in its working tree refused to work, until the submodule gets converted to use the \"absorbed\" form where the metadata directory is stored in superproject, and a gitfile at the top-level of the working tree of the submodule points at it. The command is taught to convert such submodules to the absorbed form as needed.
* The completion script (in contrib/) learns that the \"--date\" option of commands from the \"git log\" family takes \"human\" and \"auto\" as valid values.
* \"Zealous diff3\" style of merge conflict presentation has been added.
* The \"git log --format=%(describe)\" placeholder has been extended to allow passing selected command-line options to the underlying \"git describe\" command.
* \"default\" and \"reset\" have been added to our color palette.
* The cryptographic signing using ssh keys can specify literal keys for keytypes whose name do not begin with the \"ssh-\" prefix by using the \"key::\" prefix mechanism (e.g. \"key::ecdsa-sha2-nistp256\").
* \"git fetch\" without the \"--update-head-ok\" option ought to protect a checked out branch from getting updated, to prevent the working tree that checks it out to go out of sync. The code was written before the use of \"git worktree\" got widespread, and only checked the branch that was checked out in the current worktree, which has been updated.
* \"git name-rev\" has been tweaked to give output that is shorter and easier to understand.
* \"git apply\" has been taught to ignore a message without a patch with the \"--allow-empty\" option. It also learned to honor the \"--quiet\" option given from the command line.
* The \"init\" and \"set\" subcommands in \"git sparse-checkout\" have been unified for a better user experience and performance.
* Many git commands that deal with working tree files try to remove a directory that becomes empty (i.e. \"git switch\" from a branch that has the directory to another branch that does not would attempt remove all files in the directory and the directory itself). This drops users into an unfamiliar situation if the command was run in a subdirectory that becomes subject to removal due to the command. The commands have been taught to keep an empty directory if it is the directory they were started in to avoid surprising users.
* \"git am\" learns \"--empty=(stop|drop|keep)\" option to tweak what is done to a piece of e-mail without a patch in it.
* The default merge message prepared by \"git merge\" records the name of the current branch; the name can be overridden with a new option to allow users to pretend a merge is made on a different branch.
* The way \"git p4\" shows file sizes in its output has been updated to use human-readable units.
* \"git -c branch.autosetupmerge=inherit branch new old\" makes \"new\" to have the same upstream as the \"old\" branch, instead of marking \"old\" itself as its upstream.
* Fri Nov 26 2021 Dirk Müller - update to 2.34.1 (bsc#1193722):
* \"git grep\" looking in a blob that has non-UTF8 payload was completely broken when linked with certain versions of PCREv2 library in the latest release.
* \"git pull\" with any strategy when the other side is behind us should succeed as it is a no-op, but doesn\'t.
* An earlier change in 2.34.0 caused JGit application (that abused GIT_EDITOR mechanism when invoking \"git config\") to get stuck with a SIGTTOU signal; it has been reverted.
* An earlier change that broke .gitignore matching has been reverted.
* SubmittingPatches document gained a syntactically incorrect mark-up, which has been corrected.
* Sun Nov 21 2021 Dirk Müller - fix url
* Thu Nov 18 2021 Danilo Spinella - git 2.34.0:
* Release notes: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.34.0.txt
* Wed Oct 20 2021 Callum Farmer - Add CONFIG parameter to %sysusers_generate_pre- Remove unneeded SHELL in git-daemon.conf- Fix sysusers usage in spec file- Require nogroup group for %pre (bsc#1192023)
* Wed Oct 13 2021 Andreas Stieger - git 2.33.1:
* fix \"git pull\" and \"git rebase -r\" various corner cases and bugs
* \"git commit --fixup\" now works with \"--edit\" again.
* Fix \"git send-email\" unwanted threading
* Fix output from \"git fast-export\" anonymization feature showing an annotated tag incorrectly.
* Fixes for various command output
* fix \"git difftool --dir-diff\" mishandling symbolic links
* Redact sensitive data in the HTTP trace for HTTP/2 requests
* further bug fixes for various git operations
* Mon Sep 20 2021 Johannes Segitz - Added hardening to systemd service(s) (bsc#1181400). Modified:
* git-daemon.service
* Sat Aug 21 2021 Andreas Stieger - git 2.33.0:
* \"git send-email\" learned the \"--sendmail-cmd\" command line option and the \"sendemail.sendmailCmd\" configuration variable, which is a more sensible approach than the current way of repurposing the \"smtp-server\" that is meant to name the server to instead name the command to talk to the server.
* The userdiff pattern for C# learned the token \"record\".
* \"git rev-list\" learns to omit the \"commit \" header lines from the output with the `--no-commit-header` option.
* \"git worktree add --lock\" learned to record why the worktree is locked with a custom message.
* internal improvements including performance optimizations
* a number of bug fixes
* Sun Jun 06 2021 Andreas Stieger - git 2.32.0:
* \".gitattributes\", \".gitignore\", and \".mailmap\" files that are symbolic links are ignored
* \"git apply --3way\" used to first attempt a straight application, and only fell back to the 3-way merge algorithm when the straight application failed. Starting with this version, the command will first try the 3-way merge algorithm and only when it fails (either resulting with conflict or the base versions of blobs are missing), falls back to the usual patch application.
* \"git stash show\" can now show the untracked part of the stash
* Improved \"git repack\" strategy
* http code can now unlock a certificate with a cached password respectively.
* \"git clone --reject-shallow\" option fails the clone as soon as we notice that we are cloning from a shallow repository.
* \"gitweb\" learned \"e-mail privacy\" feature
* Multiple improvements to output and configuration options
* Bug fixes and developer visible fixes
* Thu Apr 22 2021 Markéta Machová - Remove deprecated \"syslog\" option from git-daemon.service (bsc#1185147)
* Fri Apr 09 2021 Frederic Crozat - Add sysusers file to create git-daemon user.
* Thu Apr 08 2021 Dirk Müller - add suse-use-builtin-add-interactive.patch (jsc#SLE-17838)- split git-core perl module into git-core, move instaweb to git-web, and the single remaining perl builtin to git, so that git-core is perl free
* Sat Mar 27 2021 Andreas Stieger - git 2.31.1:
* fsmonitor bug fixes
* fix git bisect to take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint
* Fix a corner case in \"git mv\" on case insensitive systems
* Tue Mar 16 2021 Fabian Vogt - Require only openssh-clients where possible (TW, SLE >= 15 SP3) (boo#1183580)- Drop rsync requirement, not necessary anymore
* Mon Mar 15 2021 Andreas Stieger - git 2.31.0:
* Use of \"pack-redundant\" command is discouraged and will trigger a warning. The replacement is \"repack -d\".
* The \"--format=%(trailers)\" mechanism gets enhanced to make it easier to design output for machine consumption.
* No longer give message to choose between rebase or merge upon pull if the history fast-forwards
* The configuration variable \'core.abbrev\' can be set to \'no\' to force no abbreviation regardless of the hash algorithm.
* \"git rev-parse\" can be explicitly told to give output as absolute or relative path with the `--path-format=(absolute|relative)` option.
* Bash completion (in contrib/) update to make it easier for end-users to add completion for their custom \"git\" subcommands.
* \"git maintenance\" learned to drive scheduled maintenance on platforms whose native scheduling methods are not \'cron\'.
* After expiring a reflog and making a single commit, the reflog for the branch would record a single entry that knows both AATT{0} and AATT{1}, but we failed to answer \"what commit were we on?\", i.e. AATT{1}
* \"git bundle\" learns \"--stdin\" option to read its refs from the standard input. Also, it now does not lose refs whey they point at the same object.
* \"git log\" learned a new \"--diff-merges=\" option.
* \"git ls-files\" can and does show multiple entries when the index is unmerged, which is a source for confusion unless -s/-u option is in use. A new option --deduplicate has been introduced.
* `git worktree list` now annotates worktrees as prunable, shows locked and prunable attributes in --porcelain mode, and gained a --verbose option.
* \"git clone\" tries to locally check out the branch pointed at by HEAD of the remote repository after it is done, but the protocol did not convey the information necessary to do so when copying an empty repository. The protocol v2 learned how to do so.
* There are other ways than \"..\" for a single token to denote a \"commit range\", namely \"^!\" and \"^-\", but \"git range-diff\" did not understand them.
* The \"git range-diff\" command learned \"--(left|right)-only\" option to show only one side of the compared range.
* \"git mergetool\" feeds three versions (base, local and remote) of a conflicted path unmodified. The command learned to optionally prepare these files with unconflicted parts already resolved.
* The .mailmap is documented to be read only from the root level of a working tree, but a stray file in a bare repository also was read by accident, which has been corrected.
* \"git maintenance\" tool learned a new \"pack-refs\" maintenance task.
* The error message given when a configuration variable that is expected to have a boolean value has been improved.
* Signed commits and tags now allow verification of objects, whose two object names (one in SHA-1, the other in SHA-256) are both signed.
* \"git rev-list\" command learned \"--disk-usage\" option.
* \"git {diff,log} --{skip,rotate}-to=\" allows the user to discard diff output for early paths or move them to the end of the output.
* \"git difftool\" learned \"--skip-to=\" option to restart an interrupted session from an arbitrary path.
* \"git grep\" has been tweaked to be limited to the sparse checkout paths.
* \"git rebase --[no-]fork-point\" gained a configuration variable rebase.forkPoint so that users do not have to keep specifying a non-default setting.
* many bug fixes
* Tue Mar 09 2021 Andreas Stieger - git 2.30.2:
* CVE-2021-21300: On case-insensitive file systems with support for symbolic links, if Git is configured globally to apply delay-capable clean/smudge filters (such as Git LFS), Git could be fooled into running remote code during a clone (boo#1183026)
* Wed Feb 10 2021 Markéta Machová - git 2.30.1
* Bugfix release
* \"git stash\" did not work well in a sparsely checked out working tree.
* Newline characters in the host and path part of git:// URL are now forbidden.
