Changelog for perl-Git-2.39.1-590.7.x86_64.rpm :

* 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.
* Tue Oct 25 2022 Michal Suchanek - Fix quiltimport (maybe)
* 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.

* Thu Oct 29 2020 Andreas Stieger - git 2.29.2: \"--committer-date-is-author-date\" option of \"rebase\" and \"am\" subcommands lost the e-mail address by mistake in 2.29
* Fri Oct 23 2020 Andreas Stieger - git 2.29.1:
* build system fixes for non-default installations (not affecting this package)
* Mon Oct 19 2020 Andreas Stieger - git 2.29.0:
* The transport protocol v2 has become the default again
* \"git worktree\" gained a \"repair\" subcommand, \"git init - -separate-git-dir\" no longer corrupts administrative data related to linked worktrees
* \"git maintenance\" introduced for repository maintenance tasks
* enhancements to multiple workflows, addition of configuration options and supported parameters, and bug fixes
* Tue Jul 28 2020 Marketa Calabkova - git 2.28.0
* \"fetch.writeCommitGraph\" is deemed to be still a bit too risky and is no longer part of the \"feature.experimental\" set.
* The commands in the \"diff\" family learned to honor \"diff.relative\" configuration variable.
* \"git diff-files\" has been taught to say paths that are marked as intent-to-add are new files, not modified from an empty blob.
* \"git gui\" now allows opening work trees from the start-up dialog.
* \"git bugreport\" learns to report what shell is in use.
* SHA-256 migration work continues, including CVS/SVN interface.
* Some repositories in the wild have commits that record nonsense committer timezone (e.g. rails.git); \"git fast-import\" learned an option to pass these nonsense timestamps intact to allow recreating existing repositories as-is.
* Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc.
* Mon Jun 01 2020 Andreas Stieger - git 2.27.0:
* \"git describe\" will always use the \"long\" version when giving its output based misplaced tags
* \"git pull\" issues a warning message until the pull.rebase configuration variable is explicitly given
* The transport protocol version 2, which was promoted to the default in Git 2.26 release, turned out to have some remaining rough edges, so it has been demoted from the default
* A handful of options to configure SSL when talking to proxies have been added
* Smudge/clean conversion filters are now given more information
* many bug fixes, improvements, and additional workflow options- drop upstreamed patches:

* Mon Apr 27 2020 Michal Suchanek - Add back SuSEfirewall2 support needed for SLE12 (bsc#1170302).
* Tue Apr 21 2020 Michal Suchanek - With recent switch to protocol v2 people are reporting fetches transferring unreasonable amount of data. Upstream proposes switching the protocol back until the issue is properly diagnosed. The regression is problematic for people with lower network connection speed (bsc#1170741). Added: Revert-fetch-default-to-protocol-version-2.patch
* Mon Apr 20 2020 Andreas Stieger - git 2.26.2:
* CVE-2020-11008: Specially crafted URLs may have tricked the credentials helper to providing credential information that is not appropriate for the protocol in use and host being contacted (boo#1169936)
* Mon Apr 20 2020 Marketa Calabkova - Submit to SLE15 / resubmit to Factory (bsc#1169786, jsc#SLE-12396, bsc#1149792)
* Fri Apr 17 2020 Michal Suchanek - Fix git-daemon not starting after conversion from sysvinit to systemd service (bsc#1169605).
* Tue Apr 14 2020 Andreas Stieger - git 2.26.1: (boo#1168930)
* CVE-2020-5260: Specially crafted URLs with newline characters could have been used to make the Git client to send credential information for a wrong host to the attacker\'s site boo#1168930
* Mon Mar 23 2020 Andreas Stieger - git 2.26.0 (bsc#1167890, jsc#SLE-11608):
* \"git rebase\" now uses a different backend that is based on the \'merge\' machinery by default. The \'rebase.backend\' configuration variable reverts to old behaviour when set to \'apply\'
* Improved handling of sparse checkouts
* Improvements to many commands and internal features
* Thu Mar 19 2020 Andreas Stieger - git 2.25.2:
* bug fixes to various subcommands in specific operations
* Mon Feb 17 2020 Andreas Stieger - git 2.25.1:
* \"git commit\" now honors advise.statusHints
* various updates, bug fixes and documentation updates
* Tue Jan 14 2020 Marketa Calabkova - git 2.25.0
* The branch description (\"git branch --edit-description\") has been used to fill the body of the cover letters by the format-patch command; this has been enhanced so that the subject can also be filled.
* A few commands learned to take the pathspec from the standard input or a named file, instead of taking it as the command line arguments, with the \"--pathspec-from-file\" option.
* Test updates to prepare for SHA-2 transition continues.
* Redo \"git name-rev\" to avoid recursive calls.
* When all files from some subdirectory were renamed to the root directory, the directory rename heuristics would fail to detect that as a rename/merge of the subdirectory to the root directory, which has been corrected.
* HTTP transport had possible allocator/deallocator mismatch, which has been corrected. - dropped patch git-skip-test-s390x-aarch64-fail.patch (bsc#1156651)
* upstream maintainers have skipped the test themselves
* Wed Dec 11 2019 Andreas Stieger - git 2.24.1:
* CVE-2019-1348: The --export-marks option of fast-import is exposed also via the in-stream command feature export-marks=... and it allows overwriting arbitrary paths (boo#1158785)
* CVE-2019-1349: on Windows, when submodules are cloned recursively, under certain circumstances Git could be fooled into using the same Git directory twice (boo#1158787)
* CVE-2019-1350: Incorrect quoting of command-line arguments allowed remote code execution during a recursive clone in conjunction with SSH URLs (boo#1158788)
* CVE-2019-1351: on Windows mistakes drive letters outside of the US-English alphabet as relative paths (boo#1158789)
* CVE-2019-1352: on Windows was unaware of NTFS Alternate Data Streams (boo#1158790)
* CVE-2019-1353: when run in the Windows Subsystem for Linux while accessing a working directory on a regular Windows drive, none of the NTFS protections were active (boo#1158791)
* CVE-2019-1354: on Windows refuses to write tracked files with filenames that contain backslashes (boo#1158792)
* CVE-2019-1387: Recursive clones vulnerability that is caused by too-lax validation of submodule names, allowing very targeted attacks via remote code execution in recursive clones (boo#1158793)
* CVE-2019-19604: a recursive clone followed by a submodule update could execute code contained within the repository without the user explicitly having asked for that (boo#1158795)
* Fri Nov 29 2019 Stefan Brüns - Guard xmlto/sgml-skel BuildRequires by docs bcond.- Fix building with asciidoctor and without DocBook4 stylesheets:
* Add 0002-Also-use-DocBook-5-stylesheet-when-generating-HTML-o.patch
* Refresh 0001-DOC-Move-to-DocBook-5-when-using-asciidoctor.patch- Spec file cleanup, remove conditionals for obsolete/EOLed distros.- Drop curl (executable) BuildRequires, only required by some skipped tests (skipped as these have an apache2 prerequisite).
* Fri Nov 29 2019 Marketa Calabkova - added patch git-skip-test-s390x-aarch64-fail.patch
* workaround for bsc#1156651
* Mon Nov 04 2019 Andreas Schwab - 0001-DOC-Move-to-DocBook-5-when-using-asciidoctor.patch: Don\'t remove \"-x manpage.xsl\" option- BuildRequire docbook5-xsl-stylesheets
* Mon Nov 04 2019 Marketa Calabkova - git 2.24.0
* The command line parser learned \"--end-of-options\" notation.
* A mechanism to affect the default setting for a (related) group of configuration variables is introduced.
* \"git fetch\" learned \"--set-upstream\" option to help those who first clone from their private fork they intend to push to, add the true upstream via \"git remote add\" and then \"git fetch\" from it.
* fixes and improvements to UI, workflow and features, bash completion fixes- modified patch 0001-DOC-Move-to-DocBook-5-when-using-asciidoctor.patch
* part of it merged upstream
* the Makefile attempted to download some documentation, banned
* Mon Oct 07 2019 Marketa Calabkova - Complete (but maybe a bit too generous) fix of bsc#1112230
* Thu Oct 03 2019 Marketa Calabkova - These patches have been merged upstream a long time ago, no longer needed:
* 0001-submodule-helper-use-to-signal-end-of-clone-options.patch
* 0002-submodule-config-ban-submodule-urls-that-start-with-.patch
* 0003-submodule-config-ban-submodule-paths-that-start-with.patch
* git-mark-path-lookup-errors.patch
* Sun Aug 18 2019 Andreas Stieger - git 2.23.0:
* The \"--base\" option of \"format-patch\" computed the patch-ids for prerequisite patches in an unstable way, which has been updated to compute in a way that is compatible with \"git patch-id - -stable\".
* The \"git log\" command by default behaves as if the --mailmap option was given.
* fixes and improvements to UI, workflow and features
* Wed Aug 14 2019 Marketa Calabkova - git 2.22.1
* A relative pathname given to \"git init --template= \" ought to be relative to the directory \"git init\" gets invoked in, but it instead was made relative to the repository, which has been corrected.
* \"git worktree add\" used to fail when another worktree connected to the same repository was corrupt, which has been corrected.
* \"git am -i --resolved\" segfaulted after trying to see a commit as if it were a tree, which has been corrected.
* \"git merge --squash\" is designed to update the working tree and the index without creating the commit, and this cannot be countermanded by adding the \"--commit\" option; the command now refuses to work when both options are given.
* Update to Unicode 12.1 width table.
* \"git request-pull\" learned to warn when the ref we ask them to pull from in the local repository and in the published repository are different.
* \"git fetch\" into a lazy clone forgot to fetch base objects that are necessary to complete delta in a thin packfile, which has been corrected.
* The URL decoding code has been updated to avoid going past the end of the string while parsing %-- sequence.
* \"git clean\" silently skipped a path when it cannot lstat() it; now it gives a warning.
* \"git rm\" to resolve a conflicted path leaked an internal message \"needs merge\" before actually removing the path, which was confusing. This has been corrected.
* Many more bugfixes and code cleanups.
* Wed Jul 24 2019 matthias.gerstnerAATTsuse.com- removal of SuSEfirewall2 service, since SuSEfirewall2 has been replaced by firewalld, see [1]. [1]: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2019-01/msg00490.html
* Mon Jul 15 2019 Marketa Calabkova - partial fix for bsc#1112230 (git instaweb gives 500 error)
* Mon Jun 10 2019 Marketa Calabkova - git 2.22.0
* The filter specification \"--filter=sparse:path=\" used to create a lazy/partial clone has been removed. Using a blob that is part of the project as sparse specification is still supported with the \"--filter=sparse:oid=\" option
* \"git checkout --no-overlay\" can be used to trigger a new mode of checking out paths out of the tree-ish, that allows paths that match the pathspec that are in the current index and working tree and are not in the tree-ish.
* Four new configuration variables {author,committer}.{name,email} have been introduced to override user.{name,email} in more specific cases.
* \"git branch\" learned a new subcommand \"--show-current\".
* The command line completion (in contrib/) has been taught to complete more subcommand parameters.
* The completion helper code now pays attention to repository-local configuration (when available), which allows --list-cmds to honour a repository specific setting of completion.commands, for example.
* The list of conflicted paths shown in the editor while concluding a conflicted merge was shown above the scissors line when the clean-up mode is set to \"scissors\", even though it was commented out just like the list of updated paths and other information to help the user explain the merge better.
* \"git rebase\" that was reimplemented in C did not set ORIG_HEAD correctly, which has been corrected.
* \"git worktree add\" used to do a \"find an available name with stat and then mkdir\", which is race-prone. This has been fixed by using mkdir and reacting to EEXIST in a loop.- Removed upstreamed patch worktree-fix-worktree-add-race.patch
* previous item
* Wed May 08 2019 Dominique Leuenberger - Add 0001-DOC-Move-to-DocBook-5-when-using-asciidoctor.patch: Move to DocBook 5.x. Asciidoctor 2.x no longer supports the legacy DocBook 4.5 format.
* Sun Apr 14 2019 Christian Boltz - update git-web AppArmor profile for bash and tar usrMerge (boo#1132350)
* Mon Feb 25 2019 Marketa Calabkova - git 2.21.0
* Historically, the \"-m\" (mainline) option can only be used for \"git cherry-pick\" and \"git revert\" when working with a merge commit. This version of Git no longer warns or errors out when working with a single-parent commit, as long as the argument to the \"-m\" option is 1 (i.e. it has only one parent, and the request is to pick or revert relative to that first parent). Scripts that relied on the behaviour may get broken with this change.
* Small fixes and features for fast-export and fast-import.
* The \"http.version\" configuration variable can be used with recent enough versions of cURL library to force the version of HTTP used to talk when fetching and pushing.
* \"git push $there $src:$dst\" rejects when $dst is not a fully qualified refname and it is not clear what the end user meant.
* Update \"git multimail\" from the upstream.
* A new date format \"--date=human\" that morphs its output depending on how far the time is from the current time has been introduced. \"--date=auto:human\" can be used to use this new format (or any existing format) when the output is going to the pager or to the terminal, and otherwise the default format.
* Wed Feb 13 2019 Michal Suchanek - Fix worktree creation race (bsc#1114225). worktree-fix-worktree-add-race.patch setup-don-t-fail-if-commondir-reference-is-deleted.patch
* Tue Jan 22 2019 Marketa Calabkova - the proper way how to add shadow dependency, only the -daemon subpackage uses the shadow package
* Sun Jan 20 2019 Hans-Peter Jansen - add shadow build dependency: pre/postinstall script checks fail for 42.3 otherwise
* Fri Jan 11 2019 Dominique Leuenberger - Do not BuildRequire apache2: + it is only in the build chain for the directory ownership. Let\'s just own the directories ourselves. + This actually also fixes the issue that installing, then uninstalling git-web, without apache2 being present on the machine, leaves those directories stale on the disk.
