Git

Dear Git users, I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.44.0-rc0 is available from: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.44.0-rc0.windows.1 Changes since Git for Windows v2.43.0 (November 20th 2023) Git for Windows will ... [More] drop support for Windows 7 and for Windows 8 in the next versions, see the announcement of MSYS2 on which Git for Windows relies for components such as Bash and Perl. Please also note that the 32-bit variant of Git for Windows is deprecated; Its last official release is planned for 2025. New Features * Comes with Git v2.44.0-rc0. * Comes with gnupg v2.2.42. * Comes with libfido2 v1.14.0. * Comes with the MSYS2 runtime (Git for Windows flavor) based on Cygwin v3.4.10. * Comes with Perl v5.38.2. * Git for Windows learned to detect and use native Windows support for ANSI sequences, which allows using 24-bit colors in terminal windows. * Comes with Git LFS v3.4.1. * The repository viewer Tig that is included in Git for Windows can now be called also directly from PowerShell/CMD. * Comes with OpenSSH v9.6.P1. * Comes with Bash v5.2.26. * Comes with GNU TLS v3.8.3. * Comes with OpenSSL v3.2.1. * Comes with cURL v8.6.0. * Comes with GNU Privacy Guard v2.4.4. Bug Fixes * The 32-bit variant of Git for Windows was missing some MSYS2 runtime updates, which was addressed; Do note 32-bit support is phased out. * The Git for Windows installer showed cut-off text in some setups. This has been fixed. * The git credential-manager --help command previously would not find a page to display in the web browser, which has been fixed.

The users need to use "--ignore-other-worktrees" option. UI, Workflows & Features * "git add" and "git stash" learned to support the ":(attr:...)" magic pathspec. * "git rebase --autosquash" is now enabled for non-interactive rebase, but it is still incompatible with the apply backend. * Introduce "git replay", a tool meant on the server side without working tree to recreate a history. * "git merge-file" learned to take the "--diff-algorithm" option to use algorithm different from the default "myers" diff. * Command line completion (in contrib/) learned to complete path arguments to the "add/set" subcommands of "git sparse-checkout" better. * "git checkout -B []" allowed a branch that is in use in another worktree to be updated and checked out, which might be a bit unexpected. The rule has been tightened, which is a breaking change. "--ignore-other-worktrees" option is required to unbreak you, if you are used to the current behaviour that "-B" overrides the safety. * The builtin_objectmode attribute is populated for each path without adding anything in .gitattributes files, which would be useful in magic pathspec, e.g., ":(attr:builtin_objectmode=100755)" to limit to executables. * "git fetch" learned to pay attention to "fetch.all" configuration variable, which pretends as if "--all" was passed from the command line when no remote parameter was given. * In addition to (rather cryptic) Security Identifiers, show username and domain in the error message when we barf on mismatch between the Git directory and the current user on Windows. * The error message given when "git branch -d branch" fails due to commits unique to the branch has been split into an error and a new conditional advice message. * When given an existing but unreadable file as a configuration file, gitweb behaved as if the file did not exist at all, but now it errors out. This is a change that may break backward compatibility. * When $HOME/.gitignore is missing but XDG config file available, we should write into the latter, not former. "git gc" and "git maintenance" wrote into a wrong "global config" file, which have been corrected. * Define "special ref" as a very narrow set that consists of FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD, and clarify everything else that used to be classified as such are actually just pseudorefs. * All conditional "advice" messages show how to turn them off, which becomes repetitive. Setting advice.* configuration explicitly on now omits the instruction part. * The "disable repository discovery of a bare repository" check, triggered by setting safe.bareRepository configuration variable to 'explicit', has been loosened to exclude the ".git/" directory inside a non-bare repository from the check. So you can do "cd .git && git cmd" to run a Git command that works on a bare repository without explicitly specifying $GIT_DIR now. * The completion script (in contrib/) learned more options that can be used with "git log". * The labels on conflict markers for the common ancestor, our version, and the other version are available to custom 3-way merge driver via %S, %X, and %Y placeholders. * The write codepath for the reftable data learned to honor core.fsync configuration. * The "--fsck-objects" option of "git index-pack" now can take the optional parameter to tweak severity of different fsck errors. * The wincred credential backend has been taught to support oauth refresh token the same way as credential-cache and credential-libsecret backends. Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. * Process to add some form of low-level unit tests has started. * Add support for GitLab CI. * "git for-each-ref --no-sort" still sorted the refs alphabetically which paid non-trivial cost. It has been redefined to show output in an unspecified order, to allow certain optimizations to take advantage of. * Simplify API implementation to delete references by eliminating duplication. * Subject approxidate() and show_date() machinery to OSS-Fuzz. * A new helper to let us pretend that we called lstat() when we know our cache_entry is up-to-date via fsmonitor. * The optimization based on fsmonitor in the "diff --cached" codepath is resurrected with the "fake-lstat" introduced earlier. * Test balloon to use C99 "bool" type from has been added. * "git clone" has been prepared to allow cloning a repository with non-default hash function into a repository that uses the reftable backend. * Streaming spans of packfile data used to be done only from a single, primary, pack in a repository with multiple packfiles. It has been extended to allow reuse from other packfiles, too. * Comment updates to help developers not to attempt to modify messages from plumbing commands that must stay constant. It might make sense to reassess the plumbing needs every few years, but that should be done as a separate effort. * Move test-ctype helper to the unit-test framework. * Instead of manually creating refs/ hierarchy on disk upon a creation of a secondary worktree, which is only usable via the files backend, use the refs API to populate it. * CI for GitLab learned to drive macOS jobs. * A few tests to "git commit -o " and "git commit -i " has been added. * Tests on ref API are moved around to prepare for reftable. * The Makefile often had to say "-L$(path) -R$(path)" that repeats the path to the same library directory for link time and runtime. A Makefile template is used to reduce such repetition. * The priority queue test has been migrated to the unit testing framework. Fixes since v2.43 ----------------- * The way CI testing used "prove" could lead to running the test suite twice needlessly, which has been corrected. * Update ref-related tests. * "git format-patch --encode-email-headers" ignored the option when preparing the cover letter, which has been corrected. * Newer versions of Getopt::Long started giving warnings against our (ab)use of it in "git send-email". Bump the minimum version requirement for Perl to 5.8.1 (from September 2002) to allow simplifying our implementation. * Earlier we stopped relying on commit-graph that (still) records information about commits that are lost from the object store, which has negative performance implications. The default has been flipped to disable this pessimization. * Stale URLs have been updated to their current counterparts (or archive.org) and HTTP links are replaced with working HTTPS links. * trace2 streams used to record the URLs that potentially embed authentication material, which has been corrected. * The sample pre-commit hook that tries to catch introduction of new paths that use potentially non-portable characters did not notice an existing path getting renamed to such a problematic path, when rename detection was enabled. * The command line parser for the "log" family of commands was too loose when parsing certain numbers, e.g., silently ignoring the extra 'q' in "git log -n 1q" without complaining, which has been tightened up. * "git $cmd --end-of-options --rev -- --path" for some $cmd failed to interpret "--rev" as a rev, and "--path" as a path. This was fixed for many programs like "reset" and "checkout". * "git bisect reset" has been taught to clean up state files and refs even when BISECT_START file is gone. * Some codepaths did not correctly parse configuration variables specified with valueless "true", which has been corrected. * Code clean-up for sanity checking of command line options for "git show-ref". * The code to parse the From e-mail header has been updated to avoid recursion. * "git fetch --atomic" issued an unnecessary empty error message, which has been corrected. * Command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to work better with the reftable backend. * "git status" is taught to show both the branch being bisected and being rebased when both are in effect at the same time. * "git archive --list extra garbage" silently ignored excess command line parameters, which has been corrected. * "git sparse-checkout set" added default patterns even when the patterns are being fed from the standard input, which has been corrected. * "git sparse-checkout (add|set) --[no-]cone --end-of-options" did not handle "--end-of-options" correctly after a recent update. * Unlike other environment variables that took the usual true/false/yes/no as well as 0/1, GIT_FLUSH only understood 0/1, which has been corrected. * Clearing in-core repository (happens during e.g., "git fetch --recurse-submodules" with commit graph enabled) made in-core commit object in an inconsistent state by discarding the necessary data from commit-graph too early, which has been corrected. * Update to a new feature recently added, "git show-ref --exists". (merge 0aabeaa562 tc/show-ref-exists-fix later to maint). * oss-fuzz tests are built and run in CI. (merge c4a9cf1df3 js/oss-fuzz-build-in-ci later to maint). * Rename detection logic ignored the final line of a file if it is an incomplete line. (merge 1c5bc6971e en/diffcore-delta-final-line-fix later to maint). * GitHub CI update. (merge 0188b2c8e0 pb/ci-github-skip-logs-for-broken-tests later to maint). * "git diff --no-rename A B" did not disable rename detection but did not trigger an error from the command line parser. (merge 457f96252f rs/parse-options-with-keep-unknown-abbrev-fix later to maint). * "git archive --remote=" learned to talk over the smart http (aka stateless) transport. (merge 176cd68634 jx/remote-archive-over-smart-http later to maint). * Fetching via protocol v0 over Smart HTTP transport sometimes failed to correctly auto-follow tags. (merge fba732c462 jk/fetch-auto-tag-following-fix later to maint). * The documentation for the --exclude-per-directory option marked it as deprecated, which confused readers into thinking there may be a plan to remove it in the future, which was not our intention. (merge 0009542cab jc/ls-files-doc-update later to maint). * "git diff --no-index file1 file2" segfaulted while invoking the external diff driver, which has been corrected. (merge 85a9a63c92 jk/diff-external-with-no-index later to maint). * Rewrite //-comments to /* comments */ in files whose comments prevalently use the latter. (merge de65079d7b jc/comment-style-fixes later to maint). * Cirrus CI jobs started breaking because we specified version of FreeBSD that is no longer available, which has been corrected. (merge 81fffb66d3 cb/use-freebsd-13-2-at-cirrus-ci later to maint). * A caller called index_file_exists() that takes a string expressed as with a wrong length, which has been corrected. (merge 156e28b36d jh/sparse-index-expand-to-path-fix later to maint). * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. (merge 5aea3955bc rj/clarify-branch-doc-m later to maint). (merge 9cce3be2df bk/bisect-doc-fix later to maint). (merge 8f50984cf4 ne/doc-filter-blob-limit-fix later to maint). (merge f10b0989b8 la/strvec-comment-fix later to maint).

The latest maintenance release Git v2.43.1 is now available at the usual places. This is only to flush the accumulated fixes on the master front down to the maintenance track. The tarballs are found at: ... [More] https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.43.1' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at: url = https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git url = https://github.com/gitster/git ---------------------------------------------------------------- Git 2.43.1 Release Notes ======================== There is nothing exciting to see here. Relative to Git 2.43, this release contains the fixes that have already been merged to the 'master' branch of the development towards the next major release. Fixes since Git 2.43.0 ---------------------- * The way CI testing used "prove" could lead to running the test suite twice needlessly, which has been corrected. * Newer versions of Getopt::Long started giving warnings against our (ab)use of it in "git send-email". Bump the minimum version requirement for Perl to 5.8.1 (from September 2002) to allow simplifying our implementation. * Earlier we stopped relying on commit-graph that (still) records information about commits that are lost from the object store, which has negative performance implications. The default has been flipped to disable this pessimization. * Stale URLs have been updated to their current counterparts (or archive.org) and HTTP links are replaced with working HTTPS links. * trace2 streams used to record the URLs that potentially embed authentication material, which has been corrected. * The sample pre-commit hook that tries to catch introduction of new paths that use potentially non-portable characters did not notice an existing path getting renamed to such a problematic path, when rename detection was enabled. * The command line parser for the "log" family of commands was too loose when parsing certain numbers, e.g., silently ignoring the extra 'q' in "git log -n 1q" without complaining, which has been tightened up. * "git $cmd --end-of-options --rev -- --path" for some $cmd failed to interpret "--rev" as a rev, and "--path" as a path. This was fixed for many programs like "reset" and "checkout". * "git bisect reset" has been taught to clean up state files and refs even when BISECT_START file is gone. * Some codepaths did not correctly parse configuration variables specified with valueless "true", which has been corrected. * Code clean-up for sanity checking of command line options for "git show-ref". * The code to parse the From e-mail header has been updated to avoid recursion. * "git fetch --atomic" issued an unnecessary empty error message, which has been corrected. * Command line completion script (in contrib/) learned to work better with the reftable backend. * "git status" is taught to show both the branch being bisected and being rebased when both are in effect at the same time. cf. * "git archive --list extra garbage" silently ignored excess command line parameters, which has been corrected. * "git sparse-checkout set" added default patterns even when the patterns are being fed from the standard input, which has been corrected. * Unlike other environment variables that took the usual true/false/yes/no as well as 0/1, GIT_FLUSH only understood 0/1, which has been corrected. * Clearing in-core repository (happens during e.g., "git fetch --recurse-submodules" with commit graph enabled) made in-core commit object in an inconsistent state by discarding the necessary data from commit-graph too early, which has been corrected. Also contains various documentation updates, code clean-ups and minor fixups. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v2.43.0 are as follows: Chandra Pratap (2): sideband.c: remove redundant 'NEEDSWORK' tag write-or-die: make GIT_FLUSH a Boolean environment variable Elijah Newren (12): treewide: remove unnecessary includes from header files treewide: remove unnecessary includes in source files archive.h: remove unnecessary include blame.h: remove unnecessary includes fsmonitor--daemon.h: remove unnecessary includes http.h: remove unnecessary include

NULL values in tr2_sysenv config callback help: handle NULL value for alias.* config submodule: handle NULL value when parsing submodule.*.branch trailer: handle NULL value when parsing

Out of the blue today I received an email from Heroku saying that our application to their open-source credit program was accepted. Quoting from their email: [...] We are excited to announce that your project was a fit to receive $250 credits/month for one year, totaling $3,000 in credits. These credits have been applied to the account submitted on the application, and will be valid from January 2024 to December 2024. $250 per month is more than enough to cover our hosting costs (which average around ~$140 USD per month), so we should have plenty of room to host git-scm.com free of charge for this year. I know that there are some plans in the works to convert git-scm.com to a static site in [1]. So even though we likely won't be on Heroku forever, this should tide us over until we're ready to move to GitHub Pages. I would like to thank Dan Moore for his generous donation to the Git project, which has covered our Heroku bill in past years. Now that Heroku has agreed to cover out costs for this year, we will be able to use the funds Dan has graciously provided to on behalf of FusionAuth for other purposes.

Dear Git users, I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.43.0 is available from: https://gitforwindows.org/ Changes since Git for Windows v2.42.0(2) (August 30th 2023) As announced previously, Git for Windows will drop support for Windows 7 ... [More] and for Windows 8 in one of the next versions, following Cygwin's and MSYS2's lead (Git for Windows relies on MSYS2 for components such as Bash and Perl). Following the footsteps of the MSYS2 and Cygwin projects on which Git for Windows depends, the 32-bit variant of Git for Windows is being phased out. New Features * Comes with Git v2.43.0. * Comes with MSYS2 runtime v3.4.9. * Comes with GNU TLS v3.8.1. * When installing into a Windows setup with Mandatory Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) enabled, which is incompatible with the MSYS2 runtime powering Git Bash, SSH and some other programs distributed with Git for Windows, the Git for Windows installer now offers to add exceptions that will allow those programs to work as expected. * Comes with OpenSSH v9.5.P1. * Comes with cURL v8.4.0. * Comes with OpenSSL v3.1.4. * Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.4.1. * Comes with Bash v5.2.21. * Comes with MinTTY v3.7.0. Bug Fixes * Symbolic links whose target is an absolute path without the drive prefix accidentally had a drive prefix added when checked out, rendering them "eternally modified". This bug has been fixed. * Git for Windows's installer is no longer confused by global GIT_* environment variables. * The installer no longer claims that "fast-forward or merge" is the default git pull behavior: The default behavior has changed in Git a while ago, to "fast-forward only".

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. UI, Workflows & Features * 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. Performance, Internal Implementation, Development Support etc. * "git check-attr" has been taught to work better with sparse-index. * It may be tempting to leave the help text NULL for a command line option that is either hidden or too obvious, but "git subcmd -h" and "git subcmd --help-all" would have segfaulted if done so. Now the help text is truly optional. * Tests that are known to pass with LSan are now marked as such. * Flaky "git p4" tests, as well as "git svn" tests, are now skipped in the (rather expensive) sanitizer CI job. * Tests with LSan from time to time seem to emit harmless messages that make our tests unnecessarily flaky; we work around it by filtering the uninteresting output. * Unused parameters to functions are marked as such, and/or removed, in order to bring us closer to "-Wunused-parameter" clean. * The code to keep track of existing packs in the repository while repacking has been refactored. * The "streaming" interface used for bulk-checkin codepath has been narrowed to take only blob objects for now, with no real loss of functionality. * GitHub CI workflow has learned to trigger Coverity check. * Test coverage for trailers has been improved. * The code to iterate over loose references has been optimized to reduce the number of lstat() system calls. * The codepaths that read "chunk" formatted files have been corrected to pay attention to the chunk size and notice broken files. * Replace macos-12 used at GitHub CI with macos-13. (merge 682a868f67 js/ci-use-macos-13 later to maint). Fixes since v2.42 ----------------- * Overly long label names used in the sequencer machinery are now chopped to fit under filesystem limitation. * Scalar updates. * Tweak GitHub Actions CI so that pushing the same commit to multiple branch tips at the same time will not waste building and testing the same thing twice. * The commit-graph verification code that detects a mixture of zero and non-zero generation numbers has been updated. * "git diff -w --exit-code" with various options did not work correctly, which has been corrected. * The "transfer.unpackLimit" configuration variable ought to be used as a fallback, but overrode the more specific "fetch.unpackLimit" and "receive.unpackLimit" configuration variables by mistake, which has been corrected. * The use of API between two calls to require_clean_work_tree() from the sequencer code has been cleaned up for consistency. * "git diff --no-such-option" and other corner cases around the exit status of the "diff" command have been corrected. * "git for-each-ref --sort='contents:size'" sorted the refs according to size numerically, giving a ref that points at a blob twelve-byte (12) long before showing a blob hundred-byte (100) long, which has been corrected. * We now limit the depth of the tree objects and maximum length of pathnames recorded in tree objects. (merge 4d5693ba05 jk/tree-name-and-depth-limit later to maint). * Various fixes to the behavior of "rebase -i", when the command got interrupted by conflicting changes, have been made. * References from a description of the `--patch` option in various manual pages have been simplified and improved. * "git grep -e A --no-or -e B" is accepted, even though the negation of the "--or" option did not mean anything, which has been tightened. * The completion script (in contrib/) has been taught to treat the "-t" option to "git checkout" and "git switch" just like the "--track" option, to complete remote-tracking branches. * "git diff --no-index -R <(one) <(two)" did not work correctly, which has been corrected. * "git maintenance" timers' implementation has been updated, based on systemd timers, to work with WSL. * "git diff --cached" codepath did not fill the necessary stat information for a file when fsmonitor knows it is clean and ended up behaving as if it were not clean, which has been corrected. * How "alias.foo = : git cmd ; aliased-command-string" should be spelled with necessary whitespace around punctuation marks to work has been more clearly documented (but this will be moot with newer versions of Git where the parsing rules have been improved). * HTTP Header redaction code has been adjusted for a newer version of cURL library that shows its traces differently from earlier versions. * An error message given by "git send-email", when given a malformed address, did not show the offending address, which has been corrected. * UBSan options were not propagated through the test framework to git run via the httpd, unlike ASan options, which has been corrected. * "checkout --merge -- path" and "update-index --unresolve path" did not resurrect conflicted state that was resolved to remove path, but now they do. (merge 5bdedac3c7 jc/unresolve-removal later to maint). * The display width table for unicode characters has been updated for Unicode 15.1 (merge 872976c37e bb/unicode-width-table-15 later to maint). * Update mailmap entry for Derrick. (merge 6e5457d8c7 ds/mailmap-entry-update later to maint). * In the ".gitmodules" files, submodules are keyed by their names, and the path to the submodule whose name is $name is specified by the submodule.$name.path variable. There were a few codepaths that mixed the name and path up when consulting the submodule database, which have been corrected. It took long for these bugs to be found as the name of a submodule initially is the same as its path, and the problem does not surface until it is moved to a different path, which apparently happens very rarely. * "git diff --merge-base X other args..." insisted that X must be a commit and errored out when given an annotated tag that peels to a commit, but we only need it to be a committish. This has been corrected. (merge 4adceb5a29 ar/diff-index-merge-base-fix later to maint). * "git merge-tree" used to segfault when the "--attr-source" option is used, which has been corrected. (merge e95bafc52f jc/merge-ort-attr-index-fix later to maint). * Unlike "git log --pretty=%D", "git log --pretty="%(decorate)" did not auto-initialize the decoration subsystem, which has been corrected. * Feeding "git stash store" with a random commit that was not created by "git stash create" now errors out. (merge d9b6634589 jc/fail-stash-to-store-non-stash later to maint). * The index file has room only for the lower 32-bit of the file size in the cached stat information, which means cached stat information will have 0 in its sd_size member for a file whose size is a multiple of 4GiB. This is mistaken for a racily clean path. Avoid it by storing a bogus sd_size value instead for such files. (merge 5143ac07b1 bc/racy-4gb-files later to maint). * "git p4" tried to store symlinks to LFS when told, but has been fixed not to do so, because it does not make sense. (merge 10c89a02b0 mm/p4-symlink-with-lfs later to maint). * The codepath to handle recipient addresses `git send-email --compose` learns from the user was completely broken, which has been corrected. (merge 3ec6167567 jk/send-email-fix-addresses-from-composed-messages later to maint). * "cd sub && git grep -f patterns" tried to read "patterns" file at the top level of the working tree; it has been corrected to read "sub/patterns" instead. * "git reflog expire --single-worktree" has been broken for the past 20 months or so, which has been corrected. * "git send-email" did not have certain pieces of data computed yet when it tried to validate the outgoing messages and its recipient addresses, which has been sorted out. * "git bugreport" learned to complain when it received a command line argument that it will not use. * The codepath to traverse the commit-graph learned to notice that a commit is missing (e.g., corrupt repository lost an object), even though it knows something about the commit (like its parents) from what is in commit-graph. (merge 7a5d604443 ps/do-not-trust-commit-graph-blindly-for-existence later to maint). * "git rev-list --missing" did not work for missing commit objects, which has been corrected. * "git rev-list --unpacked --objects" failed to exclude packed non-commit objects, which has been corrected. (merge 7b3c8e9f38 tb/rev-list-unpacked-fix later to maint). * "To dereference" and "to peel" were sometimes used in in-code comments and documentation but without description in the glossary. (merge 893dce2ffb vd/glossary-dereference-peel later to maint). * Other code cleanup, docfix, build fix, etc. (merge c2c349a15c xz/commit-title-soft-limit-doc later to maint). (merge 1bd809938a tb/format-pack-doc-update later to maint). (merge 8f81532599 an/clang-format-typofix later to maint). (merge 3ca86adc2d la/strvec-header-fix later to maint).

Dear Git users, I hereby announce that Git for Windows 2.43.0-rc2 is available from: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.43.0-rc2.windows.1 Changes since Git for Windows v2.42.0(2) (August 30th 2023) New Features * Comes ... [More] with Git v2.43.0-rc2. * Comes with MSYS2 runtime v3.4.9. * Comes with GNU TLS v3.8.1. * When installing into a Windows setup with Mandatory Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) enabled, which is incompatible with the MSYS2 runtime powering Git Bash, SSH and some other programs distributed with Git for Windows, the Git for Windows installer now offers to add exceptions that will allow those programs to work as expected. * Comes with OpenSSH v9.5.P1. * Comes with cURL v8.4.0. * Comes with OpenSSL v3.1.4. * Comes with Git Credential Manager v2.4.1. * Comes with Bash v5.2.21. * Comes with MinTTY v3.7.0. Bug Fixes * Symbolic links whose target is an absolute path without the drive prefix accidentally had a drive prefix added when checked out, rendering them "eternally modified". This bug has been fixed. * Git for Windows's installer is no longer confused by global GIT_* environment variables. * The installer no longer claims that "fast-forward or merge" is the default git pull behavior: The default behavior has changed in Git a while ago, to "fast-forward only".
