Git v2.13.1 Release Notes
=========================
Fixes since v2.13
-----------------
* The Web interface to gmane news archive is long gone, even though
the articles are still accessible via NTTP. Replace the links with
ones to public-inbox.org. Because their message identification is
based on the actual message-id, it is likely that it will be easier
to migrate away from it if/when necessary.
* Update tests to pass under GETTEXT_POISON (a mechanism to ensure
that output strings that should not be translated are not
translated by mistake), and tell TravisCI to run them.
* Setting "log.decorate=false" in the configuration file did not take
effect in v2.13, which has been corrected.
* An earlier update to test 7400 needed to be skipped on CYGWIN.
* Git sometimes gives an advice in a rhetorical question that does
not require an answer, which can confuse new users and non native
speakers. Attempt to rephrase them.
* "git read-tree -m" (no tree-ish) gave a nonsense suggestion "use
--empty if you want to clear the index". With "-m", such a request
will still fail anyway, as you'd need to name at least one tree-ish
to be merged.
* The codepath in "git am" that is used when running "git rebase"
leaked memory held for the log message of the commits being rebased.
* "pack-objects" can stream a slice of an existing packfile out when
the pack bitmap can tell that the reachable objects are all needed
in the output, without inspecting individual objects. This
strategy however would not work well when "--local" and other
options are in use, and need to be disabled.
* Clarify documentation for include.path and includeIf.<condition>.path
configuration variables.
* Tag objects, which are not reachable from any ref, that point at
missing objects were mishandled by "git gc" and friends (they
should silently be ignored instead)
* A few http:// links that are redirected to https:// in the
documentation have been updated to https:// links.
* Make sure our tests would pass when the sources are checked out
with "platform native" line ending convention by default on
Windows. Some "text" files out tests use and the test scripts
themselves that are meant to be run with /bin/sh, ought to be
checked out with eol=LF even on Windows.
* Fix memory leaks pointed out by Coverity (and people).
* The receive-pack program now makes sure that the push certificate
records the same set of push options used for pushing.
* "git cherry-pick" and other uses of the sequencer machinery
mishandled a trailer block whose last line is an incomplete line.
This has been fixed so that an additional sign-off etc. are added
after completing the existing incomplete line.
* The shell completion script (in contrib/) learned "git stash" has
a new "push" subcommand.
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
