| 2 | +======================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +This is to backport various fixes accumulated during the development |
| 5 | +towards Git 2.39, the next feature release. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Fixes since v2.38.1 |
| 9 | +------------------- |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | + * Update CodingGuidelines to clarify what features to use and avoid |
| 12 | + in C99. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | + * The codepath that reads from the index v4 had unaligned memory |
| 15 | + accesses, which has been corrected. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | + * "git remote rename" failed to rename a remote without fetch |
| 18 | + refspec, which has been corrected. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + * "git clone" did not like to see the "--bare" and the "--origin" |
| 21 | + options used together without a good reason. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | + * Fix messages incorrectly marked for translation. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + * "git fsck" failed to release contents of tree objects already used |
| 26 | + from the memory, which has been fixed. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + * "git rebase -i" can mistakenly attempt to apply a fixup to a commit |
| 29 | + itself, which has been corrected. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + * In read-only repositories, "git merge-tree" tried to come up with a |
| 32 | + merge result tree object, which it failed (which is not wrong) and |
| 33 | + led to a segfault (which is bad), which has been corrected. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + * Force C locale while running tests around httpd to make sure we can |
| 36 | + find expected error messages in the log. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + * Fix a logic in "mailinfo -b" that miscomputed the length of a |
| 39 | + substring, which lead to an out-of-bounds access. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + * The codepath to sign learned to report errors when it fails to read |
| 42 | + from "ssh-keygen". |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + * "GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description" resulted in failure, |
| 45 | + which has been corrected. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
