- On case-insensitive filesystems, 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. (bsc#1183026, CVE-2021-21300)
* checkout-dont-follow-symlinks.patch
* Tue Apr 28 2020 Michal Suchanek <msuchanek@suse.com>

- Add back SuSEfirewall2 support needed for SLE12 (bsc#1170302).
* Tue Apr 21 2020 Michal Suchanek <msuchanek@suse.de>
- 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 <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- 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 <mcalabkova@suse.com>

- Fix git-daemon not starting after conversion from sysvinit to systemd service
(bsc#1169605).
* Tue Apr 14 2020 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- git 2.26.1:
* 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 <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- 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 <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- git 2.25.2:
* bug fixes to various subcommands in specific operations
* Mon Feb 17 2020 Andreas Stieger <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- git 2.25.1:
* "git commit" now honors advise.statusHints
* various updates, bug fixes and documentation updates
* Tue Jan 14 2020 Marketa Calabkova <mcalabkova@suse.com>
- 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 <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- 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 <stefan.bruens@rwth-aachen.de>
- Guard xmlto/sgml-skel BuildRequires by docs bcond.

* Fri Nov 29 2019 Marketa Calabkova <mcalabkova@suse.com>
- added patch git-skip-test-s390x-aarch64-fail.patch
* workaround for bsc#1156651

- BuildRequire docbook5-xsl-stylesheets
* Mon Nov 04 2019 Marketa Calabkova <mcalabkova@suse.com>
- 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 <mcalabkova@suse.com>
- Complete (but maybe a bit too generous) fix of bsc#1112230
* Thu Oct 03 2019 Marketa Calabkova <mcalabkova@suse.com>
- 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 <andreas.stieger@gmx.de>
- 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 <mcalabkova@suse.com>
- git 2.22.1
* A relative pathname given to "git init --template=<path> <repo>"
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 %-<hex>-<hex> 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.gerstner@suse.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 <mcalabkova@suse.com>
- partial fix for bsc#1112230 (git instaweb gives 500 error)
* Mon Jun 10 2019 Marketa Calabkova <mcalabkova@suse.com>
- git 2.22.0
* The filter specification "--filter=sparse:path=<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=<blob>" 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 <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- 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 <suse-beta@cboltz.de>
- update git-web AppArmor profile for bash and tar usrMerge (boo#1132350)
* Mon Feb 25 2019 Marketa Calabkova <mcalabkova@suse.com>
- 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 <msuchanek@suse.com>
- Fix worktree creation race (bsc#1114225).

* Tue Jan 22 2019 Marketa Calabkova <mcalabkova@suse.com>
- the proper way how to add shadow dependency, only the -daemon
subpackage uses the shadow package
* Sun Jan 20 2019 Hans-Peter Jansen <hpj@urpla.net>
- add shadow build dependency: pre/postinstall script checks fail
for 42.3 otherwise
* Fri Jan 11 2019 Dominique Leuenberger <dimstar@opensuse.org>
- 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.
* Sun Dec 16 2018 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.20.1:
* portability fixes
* "git help -a" did not work well when an overly long alias was
defined
* no longer squelched an error message when the run_command API
failed to run a missing command
* Mon Dec 10 2018 Marketa Calabkova <mcalabkova@suse.com>
- git 2.20.0
* "git help -a" now gives verbose output (same as "git help -av").
Those who want the old output may say "git help --no-verbose -a"..
* "git send-email" learned to grab address-looking string on any
trailer whose name ends with "-by".
* "git format-patch" learned new "--interdiff" and "--range-diff"
options to explain the difference between this version and the
previous attempt in the cover letter (or after the three-dashes as
a comment).
* Developer builds now use -Wunused-function compilation option.
* Fix a bug in which the same path could be registered under multiple
worktree entries if the path was missing (for instance, was removed
manually). Also, as a convenience, expand the number of cases in
which --force is applicable.
* The overly large Documentation/config.txt file have been split into
million little pieces. This potentially allows each individual piece
to be included into the manual page of the command it affects more easily.
* Malformed or crafted data in packstream can make our code attempt
to read or write past the allocated buffer and abort, instead of
reporting an error, which has been fixed.
* Fix for a long-standing bug that leaves the index file corrupt when
it shrinks during a partial commit.
* "git merge" and "git pull" that merges into an unborn branch used
to completely ignore "--verify-signatures", which has been
corrected.
* ...and much more features and fixes
* Wed Dec 05 2018 Hans-Peter Jansen <hpj@urpla.net>
- group(nogroup) is provided with Leap 15 onwards only
* Tue Dec 04 2018 Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@inai.de>

* git-mark-path-lookup-errors.patch
* Wed Nov 21 2018 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.19.2:
* various bug fixes for multiple subcommands and operations
* Mon Oct 08 2018 tiwai@suse.de
- Fix VUL-0: arbitrary code execution via .gitmodules
(CVE-2018-17456, bsc#1110949):
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
* Fri Oct 05 2018 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.19.1:
* CVE-2018-17456: Specially crafted .gitmodules files may have
allowed arbitrary code execution when the repository is cloned
with --recurse-submodules (bsc#1110949)
* Tue Sep 11 2018 Petr Vorel <pvorel@suse.cz>
- git 2.19.0:
* "git diff" compares the index and the working tree. For paths
added with intent-to-add bit, the command shows the full contents
of them as added, but the paths themselves were not marked as new
files. They are now shown as new by default.
* "git apply" learned the "--intent-to-add" option so that an
otherwise working-tree-only application of a patch will add new
paths to the index marked with the "intent-to-add" bit.
* "git grep" learned the "--column" option that gives not just the
line number but the column number of the hit.
* The "-l" option in "git branch -l" is an unfortunate short-hand for
"--create-reflog", but many users, both old and new, somehow expect
it to be something else, perhaps "--list". This step warns when "-l"
is used as a short-hand for "--create-reflog" and warns about the
future repurposing of the it when it is used.
* The userdiff pattern for .php has been updated.
* The content-transfer-encoding of the message "git send-email" sends
out by default was 8bit, which can cause trouble when there is an
overlong line to bust RFC 5322/2822 limit. A new option 'auto' to
automatically switch to quoted-printable when there is such a line
in the payload has been introduced and is made the default.
* "git checkout" and "git worktree add" learned to honor
checkout.defaultRemote when auto-vivifying a local branch out of a
remote tracking branch in a repository with multiple remotes that
have tracking branches that share the same names.
(merge 8d7b558bae ab/checkout-default-remote later to maint).
* "git grep" learned the "--only-matching" option.
* "git rebase --rebase-merges" mode now handles octopus merges as
well.
* Add a server-side knob to skip commits in exponential/fibbonacci
stride in an attempt to cover wider swath of history with a smaller
number of iterations, potentially accepting a larger packfile
transfer, instead of going back one commit a time during common
ancestor discovery during the "git fetch" transaction.
(merge 42cc7485a2 jt/fetch-negotiator-skipping later to maint).
* A new configuration variable core.usereplacerefs has been added,
primarily to help server installations that want to ignore the
replace mechanism altogether.
* Teach "git tag -s" etc. a few configuration variables (gpg.format
that can be set to "openpgp" or "x509", and gpg.<format>.program
that is used to specify what program to use to deal with the format)
to allow x.509 certs with CMS via "gpgsm" to be used instead of
openpgp via "gnupg".
* Many more strings are prepared for l10n.
* "git p4 submit" learns to ask its own pre-submit hook if it should
continue with submitting.
* The test performed at the receiving end of "git push" to prevent
bad objects from entering repository can be customized via
receive.fsck.* configuration variables; we now have gained a
counterpart to do the same on the "git fetch" side, with
fetch.fsck.* configuration variables.
* "git pull --rebase=interactive" learned "i" as a short-hand for
"interactive".
* "git instaweb" has been adjusted to run better with newer Apache on
RedHat based distros.
* "git range-diff" is a reimplementation of "git tbdiff" that lets us
compare individual patches in two iterations of a topic.
* The sideband code learned to optionally paint selected keywords at
the beginning of incoming lines on the receiving end.
* "git branch --list" learned to take the default sort order from the
'branch.sort' configuration variable, just like "git tag --list"
pays attention to 'tag.sort'.
* "git worktree" command learned "--quiet" option to make it less
verbose.

repository (CVE-2018-11235, bsc#1095219)
* Tue May 29 2018 avindra@opensuse.org
- git 2.17.1
* Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but
we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk
repo paths. This means you can do bad things by putting "../"
into the name. We now enforce some rules for submodule names
which will cause Git to ignore these malicious names
(CVE-2018-11235, bsc#1095219)
* It was possible to trick the code that sanity-checks paths on
NTFS into reading random piece of memory
(CVE-2018-11233, bsc#1095218)
* Support on the server side to reject pushes to repositories
that attempt to create such problematic .gitmodules file etc.
as tracked contents, to help hosting sites protect their
customers by preventing malicious contents from spreading.

- Require just python3-base not full python for build
* Sat May 19 2018 schwab@linux-m68k.org
- git 2.17.0:
* "diff" family of commands learned "--find-object=<object-id>" option
to limit the findings to changes that involve the named object.
* "git format-patch" learned to give 72-cols to diffstat, which is
consistent with other line length limits the subcommand uses for
its output meant for e-mails.
* The log from "git daemon" can be redirected with a new option; one
relevant use case is to send the log to standard error (instead of
syslog) when running it from inetd.
* "git rebase" learned to take "--allow-empty-message" option.
* "git am" has learned the "--quit" option, in addition to the
existing "--abort" option; having the pair mirrors a few other
commands like "rebase" and "cherry-pick".
* "git worktree add" learned to run the post-checkout hook, just like
"git clone" runs it upon the initial checkout.
* "git tag" learned an explicit "--edit" option that allows the
message given via "-m" and "-F" to be further edited.
* "git fetch --prune-tags" may be used as a handy short-hand for
getting rid of stale tags that are locally held.
* The new "--show-current-patch" option gives an end-user facing way
to get the diff being applied when "git rebase" (and "git am")
stops with a conflict.
* "git add -p" used to offer "/" (look for a matching hunk) as a
choice, even there was only one hunk, which has been corrected.
Also the single-key help is now given only for keys that are
enabled (e.g. help for '/' won't be shown when there is only one
hunk).
* Since Git 1.7.9, "git merge" defaulted to --no-ff (i.e. even when
the side branch being merged is a descendant of the current commit,
create a merge commit instead of fast-forwarding) when merging a
tag object. This was appropriate default for integrators who pull
signed tags from their downstream contributors, but caused an
unnecessary merges when used by downstream contributors who
habitually "catch up" their topic branches with tagged releases
from the upstream. Update "git merge" to default to --no-ff only
when merging a tag object that does *not* sit at its usual place in
refs/tags/ hierarchy, and allow fast-forwarding otherwise, to
mitigate the problem.
* "git status" can spend a lot of cycles to compute the relation
between the current branch and its upstream, which can now be
disabled with "--no-ahead-behind" option.
* "git diff" and friends learned funcname patterns for Go language
source files.
* "git send-email" learned "--reply-to=<address>" option.
* Funcname pattern used for C# now recognizes "async" keyword.
* In a way similar to how "git tag" learned to honor the pager
setting only in the list mode, "git config" learned to ignore the
pager setting when it is used for setting values (i.e. when the
purpose of the operation is not to "show").
* Tue Mar 27 2018 kukuk@suse.de
- Use %license instead of %doc [bsc#1082318]
* Fri Mar 23 2018 avindra@opensuse.org
- git 2.16.3:
* "git status" after moving a path in the working tree (hence
making it appear "removed") and then adding with the -N option
(hence making that appear "added") detected it as a rename, but
did not report the old and new pathnames correctly.
* "git commit --fixup" did not allow "-m<message>" option to be
used at the same time; allow it to annotate resulting commit
with more text.
* When resetting the working tree files recursively, the working
tree of submodules are now also reset to match.
* Fix for a commented-out code to adjust it to a rather old API
change around object ID.
* When there are too many changed paths, "git diff" showed a
warning message but in the middle of a line.
* The http tracing code, often used to debug connection issues,
learned to redact potentially sensitive information from its
output so that it can be more safely sharable.
* Crash fix for a corner case where an error codepath tried to
unlock what it did not acquire lock on.
* The split-index mode had a few corner case bugs fixed.
* Assorted fixes to "git daemon".
* Completion of "git merge -s<strategy>" (in contrib/) did not
work well in non-C locale.
* Workaround for segfault with more recent versions of SVN.
* Recently introduced leaks in fsck have been plugged.
* Travis CI integration now builds the executable in 'script'
phase to follow the established practice, rather than during
'before_script' phase. This allows the CI categorize the
failures better ('failed' is project's fault, 'errored' is
build environment's).

* "git svn dcommit" did not take into account the fact that a
svn+ssh:// URL with a username@ (typically used for pushing)
refers to the same SVN repository without the username@ and
failed when svn.pushmergeinfo option is set.
* "git merge -Xours/-Xtheirs" learned to use our/their version
when resolving a conflicting updates to a symbolic link.
* "git clone $there $here" is allowed even when here directory
exists as long as it is an empty directory, but the command
incorrectly removed it upon a failure of the operation.
* "git stash -- <pathspec>" incorrectly blew away untracked files
in the directory that matched the pathspec, which has been
corrected.
* "git add -p" was taught to ignore local changes to submodules
as they do not interfere with the partial addition of regular
changes anyway.

default
* Thu Aug 10 2017 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.14.1 (bsc#1052481):
* Security fix for CVE-2017-1000117: A malicious third-party can
give a crafted "ssh://..." URL to an unsuspecting victim, and
an attempt to visit the URL can result in any program that
exists on the victim's machine being executed. Such a URL could
be placed in the .gitmodules file of a malicious project, and
an unsuspecting victim could be tricked into running
"git clone --recurse-submodules" to trigger the vulnerability.
* A "ssh://..." URL can result in a "ssh" command line with a
hostname that begins with a dash "-", which would cause the
"ssh" command to instead (mis)treat it as an option. This is
now prevented by forbidding such a hostname (which should not
impact any real-world usage).
* Similarly, when GIT_PROXY_COMMAND is configured, the command
is run with host and port that are parsed out from "ssh://..."
URL; a poorly written GIT_PROXY_COMMAND could be tricked into
treating a string that begins with a dash "-" as an option.
This is now prevented by forbidding such a hostname and port
number (again, which should not impact any real-world usage).
* In the same spirit, a repository name that begins with a dash
"-" is also forbidden now.
* Sat Aug 05 2017 astieger@suse.com

- Submit version 2.12.0 to SLE-12 (fate#322294, bsc#977477)
* Fri Feb 24 2017 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.12.0:
* Use of an empty string that is used for 'everything matches' is
still warned and Git asks users to use a more explicit '.' for that
instead. The hope is that existing users will not mind this
change, and eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error,
upgrading the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature. That
is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming release (yet).
* The historical argument order "git merge <msg> HEAD <commit>..."
has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in a
future release.

- git 2.9.0:
* commands in the "git diff" and "git log" family by default
enable the rename detection; use "diff.renames" configuration
variable to disable this.
* merging two branches that have no common ancestor with "git
merge" is by default forbidden now to prevent creating such an
unusual merge by mistake.
* output formats of "git log" that indents the commit log message
by 4 spaces now expands HT in the log message by default.
The "--no-expand-tabs" option disables this.
* "git commit-tree" plumbing command required the user to always
sign its result when the user sets the commit.gpgsign
configuration variable, this is no longer the case. Scrips
using commit-tree which may rely on this mistake no needs to
read commit.gpgsign and pass the -S option as necessary.
* Many more bug fixes and minor updates.
* Tue Jun 07 2016 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.8.4:
* Documentation updates
* "git fsck" learned to catch NUL byte in a commit object as
potential error and warn.
* "git describe --contains" improvements
* Treat "http.cookieFile" config as a path
* Suggest "submodule deinit --all" for deinitializing all submodules
* A couple of bugs around core.autocrlf have been fixed.
* "git difftool" learned to handle unmerged paths correctly in
dir-diff mode.
* Thu May 19 2016 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.8.3:
* "git send-email" now uses a more readable timestamps when
formulating a message ID.
* When "git worktree" feature is in use, "git branch -d" allowed
deletion of a branch that is checked out in another worktree
* When "git worktree" feature is in use, "git branch -m" renamed a
branch that is checked out in another worktree without adjusting
the HEAD symbolic ref for the worktree.
* "git format-patch --help" showed `-s` and `--no-patch` as if these
are valid options to the command. We already hide `--patch` option
from the documentation, because format-patch is about showing the
diff, and the documentation now hides these options as well.
* A change back in version 2.7 to "git branch" broke display of a
symbolic ref in a non-standard place in the refs/ hierarchy (we
expect symbolic refs to appear in refs/remotes/*/HEAD to point at
the primary branch the remote has, and as .git/HEAD to point at the
branch we locally checked out).
* A partial rewrite of "git submodule" in the 2.7 timeframe changed
the way the gitdir: pointer in the submodules point at the real
repository location to use absolute paths by accident. This has
been corrected.
* "git commit" misbehaved in a few minor ways when an empty message
is given via -m '', all of which has been corrected.
* Support for CRAM-MD5 authentication method in "git imap-send" did
not work well.
* The socks5:// proxy support added back in 2.6.4 days was not aware
that socks5h:// proxies behave differently.
* "git config" had a codepath that tried to pass a NULL to
printf("%s"), which nobody seems to have noticed.
* "git replace -e" did not honour "core.editor" configuration.
* "git submodule" reports the paths of submodules the command
recurses into, but this was incorrect when the command was not run
from the root level of the superproject.
* The "user.useConfigOnly" configuration variable makes it an error
if users do not explicitly set user.name and user.email. However,
its check was not done early enough and allowed another error to
trigger, reporting that the default value we guessed from the
system setting was unusable. This was a suboptimal end-user
experience as we want the users to set user.name/user.email without
relying on the auto-detection at all.
* "git mv old new" did not adjust the path for a submodule that lives
as a subdirectory inside old/ directory correctly.
* "git push" from a corrupt repository that attempts to push a large
number of refs deadlocked; the thread to relay rejection notices
for these ref updates blocked on writing them to the main thread,
after the main thread at the receiving end notices that the push
failed and decides not to read these notices and return a failure.
* A question by "git send-email" to ask the identity of the sender
has been updated.
* Recent update to Git LFS broke "git p4" by changing the output from
its "lfs pointer" subcommand.
* Some multi-byte encoding can have a backslash byte as a later part
of one letter, which would confuse "highlight" filter used in
gitweb.
* Sat Apr 30 2016 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.8.2:
* "index-pack --keep=<msg>" was broken since v2.1.0 timeframe.
* "git config --get-urlmatch", unlike other variants of the "git
config --get" family, did not signal error with its exit status
when there was no matching configuration.
* The "--local-env-vars" and "--resolve-git-dir" options of "git
rev-parse" failed to work outside a repository when the command's
option parsing was rewritten in 1.8.5 era.
* Fetching of history by naming a commit object name directly didn't
work across remote-curl transport.
* A small memory leak in an error codepath has been plugged in xdiff
code.
* "git mergetool" did not work well with conflicts that both sides
deleted.
* "git send-email" had trouble parsing alias file in mailrc format
when lines in it had trailing whitespaces on them.
* When "git merge --squash" stopped due to conflict, the concluding
"git commit" failed to read in the SQUASH_MSG that shows the log
messages from all the squashed commits.
* "git merge FETCH_HEAD" dereferenced NULL pointer when merging
nothing into an unborn history (which is arguably unusual usage,
which perhaps was the reason why nobody noticed it).
* "git diff -M" used to work better when two originally identical
files A and B got renamed to X/A and X/B by pairing A to X/A and B
to X/B, but this was broken in the 2.0 timeframe.
* "git send-pack --all <there>" was broken when its command line
option parsing was written in the 2.6 timeframe.
* When running "git blame $path" with unnormalized data in the index
for the path, the data in the working tree was blamed, even though
"git add" would not have changed what is already in the index, due
to "safe crlf" that disables the line-end conversion. It has been
corrected.

* plug heap corruption holes
* catch integer overflow in the computation of pathname lengths
* get rid of the name_path API. Both of
These would have resulted in writing over an under-allocated
buffer when formulating pathnames while tree traversal.
* Fri Mar 11 2016 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.7.3:
* "git show 'HEAD:Foo[BAR]Baz'" did not interpret the argument as a
rev, i.e. the object named by the the pathname with wildcard
characters in a tree object.
* "git rev-parse --git-common-dir" used in the worktree feature
misbehaved when run from a subdirectory.
* The "v(iew)" subcommand of the interactive "git am -i" command was
broken in 2.6.0 timeframe when the command was rewritten in C.
* "git merge-tree" used to mishandle "both sides added" conflict with
its own "create a fake ancestor file that has the common parts of
what both sides have added and do a 3-way merge" logic; this has
been updated to use the usual "3-way merge with an empty blob as
the fake common ancestor file" approach used in the rest of the
system.
* The documentation did not clearly state that the 'simple' mode is
now the default for "git push" when push.default configuration is
not set.
* Test adjustments for GNU grep, obsoleting
git-2.7.1-fix-tests-grep-2.23.patch

- git 2.6.5:
* Update "git subtree" (in contrib/) so that it can take
whitespaces in the pathnames, not only in the in-tree pathname
but the name of the directory that the repository is in.
* "git p4" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths
outside the client spec as empty commits. It has been
corrected to ignorethem instead, with a new configuration
git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a backward compatibility knob.
* Improve error reporting when SMTP TLS fails.
* "git symbolic-ref" forgot to report a failure with its exit
status.
* History traversal with "git log --source" that starts with an

* Other compatible minor bug fixes and improvements
- drop pager-don-t-use-unsafe-functions-in-signal-handle.patch
* Tue Oct 06 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.6.1, with a security fix:
* Make xdiff code handle extremely large files, cap around 1GB.
* Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary code
found in the URL. The URLs that submodules use may come from
arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote
repository), and can hurt those who blindly enable recursive
fetch. Restrict the allowed protocols to well known and safe
ones. [boo#948969]
* Tue Sep 29 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.6.0:

with a few levels of subdirectories are involved.
* Fix performance regression in "git am --skip"
* Sat Sep 19 2015 dimstar@opensuse.org
- Suggest instead of recommend git-web: git-web is the web-server
browsing part. Users that install git-core and appache will still
get it auto-recommended based on the supplements.

* Improvements working with perforce (git p4)
* A new short-hand <branch>@{push}
* Introduce http.<url>.SSLCipherList configuration variable to
tweak the list of cipher suite to be used with libcURL when
talking with https:// sites.
* "git cat-file --batch(-check)" new option "--follow-symlinks"

* Fix shell handling issues in git log
* Fix git config on read-only fs
* Make "git rebase" exit with failure when format-patch fails
* Wed Jul 22 2015 jslaby@suse.com
- put git-credential-cache--daemon into git-core -- it is needed
for git-credential-cache (bnc#939065)
* Fri Jul 17 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.4.6:
* "git fetch --depth=<depth>" and "git clone --depth=<depth>"
issued a shallow transfer request even to an upload-pack that
does not support the capability.
* "git fsck" used to ignore missing or invalid objects recorded in
reflog.
* The tcsh completion writes a bash scriptlet but that would have
failed for users with noclobber set.
* "git format-patch --ignore-if-upstream A..B" did not like to be
fed tags as boundary commits.
- git-tcsh-completion-fixes.diff adjusted for context changes
* Fri Jun 26 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.4.5:
* internal code and stability improvements
* ""git rebase -i" fired post-rewrite hook when it shouldn't
(namely, when it was told to stop sequencing with 'exec' insn).
* Wed Jun 17 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.4.4:
* l10n updates for German.
* An earlier leakfix to bitmap testing code was incomplete.
* "git clean pathspec..." tried to lstat(2) and complain even for
paths outside the given pathspec.
* Communication between the HTTP server and http_backend process can
lead to a dead-lock when relaying a large ref negotiation request.
Diagnose the situation better, and mitigate it by reading such a
request first into core (to a reasonable limit).
* The clean/smudge interface did not work well when filtering an
empty contents (failed and then passed the empty input through).
It can be argued that a filter that produces anything but empty for
an empty input is nonsense, but if the user wants to do strange
things, then why not?
* Make "git stash something --help" error out, so that users can
safely say "git stash drop --help".
* Clarify that "log --raw" and "log --format=raw" are unrelated
concepts.
* Catch a programmer mistake to feed a pointer not an array to
ARRAY_SIZE() macro, by using a couple of GCC extensions.
* Sun Jun 07 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.4.3:
* Ui message corrections and improvements
* "git pull --log" and "git pull --no-log" worked as expected,
but "git pull --log=20" did not.
* Fix pull.ff configuration overriding merge.ff
* fix memory leaks and resource exhaustion errors
* documentation fixes
* Fix core.excludesfile priorities
* Wed May 27 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.4.2:
* "git rev-list --objects $old --not --all" to see if everything that
is reachable from $old is already connected to the existing refs
was very inefficient.
* "hash-object --literally" introduced in v2.2 was not prepared to
take a really long object type name.
* "git rebase --quiet" was not quite quiet when there is nothing to
do.
* The completion for "log --decorate=" parameter value was incorrect.
* "filter-branch" corrupted commit log message that ends with an
incomplete line on platforms with some "sed" implementations that
munge such a line. Work it around by avoiding to use "sed".
* "git daemon" fails to build from the source under NO_IPV6
configuration (regression in 2.4).
* "git stash pop/apply" forgot to make sure that not just the working
tree is clean but also the index is clean. The latter is important
as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for
conflict resolution.
* No longer prepend $GIT_EXEC_PATH and install path to path of
executed subprograms and hooks.
* Thu May 14 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.4.1:
* git diff bugfixes and improvements
* Fix spelling in .gitconfig created upon "git config --global"
* "git commit --date=now" or anything that relies on approxidate
lost the daylight-saving-time offset.
* "git cat-file bl $blob" failed to barf even though there is no
object type that is "bl".
* Improvements for repositories on NFS
* Mon May 04 2015 jengelh@inai.de
- Update to new upstream release 2.4.0
* "git push" has been taught an "--atomic" option that makes a push
that updates more than one ref an "all-or-none" affair.
* Output from "git log --decorate" now distinguishes between a
detached HEAD vs. a HEAD that points at a branch.
* The phrasing `git branch` uses to describe a detached HEAD has
been updated to agree with the phrasing used by `git status`.
* A new "push.followTags" configuration turns the "--follow-tags"
option on by default for the `git push` command.
- Retrieve tarball signature
* Tue Apr 28 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.3.7:
* An earlier update to the parser that disects a URL broke an
address, followed by a colon, followed by an empty string (instead
of the port number), e.g. ssh://example.com:/path/to/repo.
* The completion script (in contrib/) contaminated global namespace
and clobbered on a shell variable $x.
* The "git push --signed" protocol extension did not limit what the
"nonce" that is a server-chosen string can contain or how long it
can be, which was unnecessarily lax. Limit both the length and the
alphabet to a reasonably small space that can still have enough
entropy.
* Sun Apr 26 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.3.6:
* "diff-highlight" (in contrib/) multibyte character support
* Thu Apr 02 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.3.5:
* The prompt script (in contrib/) did not show the untracked sign
when working in a subdirectory without any untracked files.
* Even though "git grep --quiet" is run merely to ask for the exit
status, we spawned the pager regardless. Stop doing that.
* Recommend format-patch and send-email for those who want to
submit patches to this project.
* An failure early in the "git clone" that started creating the
working tree and repository could have resulted in some
directories and files left without getting cleaned up.
* "git fetch" that fetches a commit using the allow-tip-sha1-in-want
extension could have failed to fetch all the requested refs.
* The split-index mode introduced at v2.3.0-rc0~41 was broken in
the codepath to protect us against a broken reimplementation of
Git that writes an invalid index with duplicated index entries,
etc.
* "git prune" used to largely ignore broken refs when deciding
which objects are still being used, which could spread an
existing small damage and make it a larger one.
* "git tag -h" used to show the "--column" and "--sort" options
that are about listing in a wrong section.
* The transfer.hiderefs support did not quite work for smart-http
transport.
* The code that reads from the ctags file in the completion script
(in contrib/) did not spell ${param/pattern/string} substitution
correctly, which happened to work with bash but not with zsh.
* The explanation on "rebase --preserve-merges", "pull
- -rebase=preserve", and "push --force-with-lease" in the
documentation was unclear.
* Tue Mar 24 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.3.4:
* The 'color.status.unmerged' configuration was not described.
* "git log --decorate" did not reset colors correctly around the
branch names.
* "git -C '' subcmd" refused to work in the current directory, unlike
"cd ''" which silently behaves as a no-op.
* "git imap-send" learned to optionally talk with an IMAP server via
libcURL; because there is no other option when Git is built with
NO_OPENSSL option, use that codepath by default under such
configuration.
* A workaround for certain build of GPG that triggered false breakage
in a test has been added.
* "git rebase -i" recently started to include the number of
commits in the insn sheet to be processed, but on a platform
that prepends leading whitespaces to "wc -l" output, the numbers
are shown with extra whitespaces that aren't necessary.
* We did not parse username followed by literal IPv6 address in SSH
transport URLs, e.g. ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:22/repo.git
correctly.
* Sat Mar 14 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.3.3:
* A corrupt input to "git diff -M" used cause us to segfault.
* The borrowed code in kwset API did not follow our usual convention
to use "unsigned char" to store values that range from 0-255.
* Description given by "grep -h" for its --exclude-standard option
was phrased poorly.
* Documentaton for "git remote add" mentioned "--tags" and
"--no-tags" and it was not clear that fetch from the remote in
the future will use the default behaviour when neither is given
to override it.
* "git diff --shortstat --dirstat=changes" showed a dirstat based on
lines that was never asked by the end user in addition to the
dirstat that the user asked for.
* The interaction between "git submodule update" and the
submodule.*.update configuration was not clearly documented.
* "git apply" was not very careful about reading from, removing,
updating and creating paths outside the working tree (under
- -index/--cached) or the current directory (when used as a
replacement for GNU patch).
* "git daemon" looked up the hostname even when "%CH" and "%IP"
interpolations are not requested, which was unnecessary.
* The "interpolated-path" option of "git daemon" inserted any string
client declared on the "host=" capability request without checking.
Sanitize and limit %H and %CH to a saner and a valid DNS name.
* Thu Mar 12 2015 tiwai@suse.de
- Fix missing /usr/share/tcsh/git.complete (bnc#919105):
git-tcsh-completion-fixes.diff was refreshed for generating the
script correctly
* Sat Mar 07 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.3.2:
* "update-index --refresh" used to leak when an entry cannot be
refreshed for whatever reason.
* "git fast-import" used to crash when it could not close and
conclude the resulting packfile cleanly.
* "git blame" died, trying to free an uninitialized piece of memory.
* "git merge-file" did not work correctly in a subdirectory.
* "git submodule add" failed to squash "path/to/././submodule" to
"path/to/submodule".
* In v2.2.0, we broke "git prune" that runs in a repository that
borrows from an alternate object store.
* Certain older vintages of cURL give irregular output from
"curl-config --vernum", which confused our build system.
* Longstanding configuration variable naming rules has been added to
the documentation.
* Older GnuPG implementations may not correctly import the keyring
material we prepare for the tests to use.
* Clarify in the documentation that "remote.<nick>.pushURL" and
"remote.<nick>.URL" are there to name the same repository accessed
via different transports, not two separate repositories.
* The pack bitmap support did not build with older versions of GCC.
* Reading configuration from a blob object, when it ends with a lone
CR, use to confuse the configuration parser.
* We didn't format an integer that wouldn't fit in "int" but in
"uintmax_t" correctly.
* "git push --signed" gave an incorrectly worded error message when
the other side did not support the capability.
* "git fetch" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to "list"
command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD.
* The insn sheet "git rebase -i" creates did not fully honor
core.abbrev settings.
* The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after
running "chmod a-r file", and the tests that wanted to make sure it
is not run as root, we used "can we write into the / directory?" as
a cheap substitute, but on some platforms that is not a good
heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to
check what they really require.
* The configuration variable 'mailinfo.scissors' was hard to
discover in the documentation.
* Correct a breakage to git-svn around v2.2 era that triggers
premature closing of FileHandle.
* Even though we officially haven't dropped Perl 5.8 support, the
Getopt::Long package that came with it does not support "--no-"
prefix to negate a boolean option; manually add support to help
people with older Getopt::Long package.
* Wed Mar 04 2015 schwab@linux-m68k.org
- Don't install dummy hg and bzr remote helpers
* Thu Feb 26 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.3.1:
* The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it"
interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when
the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the
user could have made was to choose nothing.
* "git apply --whitespace=fix" used to under-allocate the memory
when the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch.
* "git log --help" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant
to the "log" command.
* The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author
name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been
reworded to avoid misunderstanding.
* A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the
dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other
side.
* The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the
only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in
the --raw format.
* Fix a misspelled conditional that is always true.
* Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory
would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file.
* The "git push" documentation made the "--repo=<there>" option
easily misunderstood.
* After attempting and failing a password-less authentication
(e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based
Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement.
* Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce
broken patches.
* "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
files and failed to do so for whatever reason.
* "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it
tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD".
* Fri Feb 06 2015 astieger@suse.com
- git 2.3.0:
Many small corrections and improvements.
- UI, Workflows and Features:
* New GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable
* Can now store empty notes
* "git interpret-trailers" learned to properly handle the
"Conflicts:" block at the end.
* "git am" learned "--message-id" option
* "git clone --reference=<over there>" learned the "--dissociate"
option
* "git send-email" learned the "--transfer-encoding" option
* "git send-email" learned the "--no-xmailer" option
* "git branch -d" (delete) and "git branch -m" (move) learned to
honor "-f" (force) flag
* "git imap-send" learned to take "-v" (verbose) and "-q" (quiet)
command line options.
* Tue Jan 13 2015 andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- git 2.2.2:
+ "git checkout $treeish $path", when $path in the index and the
working tree already matched what is in $treeish at the $path,
still overwrote the $path unnecessarily.
+ "git config --get-color" did not parse its command line arguments
carefully.
+ A few code paths used abs() when they should have used labs() on
long integers.
+ "gitweb" used to depend on a behaviour recent CGI.pm deprecated.
+ "git init" (hence "git clone") initialized the per-repository
configuration file .git/config with x-bit by mistake.
+ Git 2.0 was supposed to make the "simple" mode for the default of
"git push", but it didn't.
+ "Everyday" document had a broken link.
+ The build procedure did not bother fixing perl and python scripts
when NO_PERL and NO_PYTHON build-time configuration changed.
+ The code that reads the reflog from the newer to the older entries
did not handle an entry that crosses a boundary of block it uses to
read them correctly.
+ "git apply" was described in the documentation to take --ignore-date
option, which it does not.
+ Traditionally we tried to avoid interpreting date strings given by
the user as future dates, e.g. GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=2014-12-10 when
used early November 2014 was taken as "October 12, 2014" because it
is likely that a date in the future, December 10, is a mistake.
This heuristics has been loosened to allow people to express future
dates (most notably, --until=<date> may want to be far in the
future) and we no longer tiebreak by future-ness of the date when
(1) ISO-like format is used, and
(2) the string can make sense interpreted as both y-m-d and y-d-m.
Git may still have to use the heuristics to tiebreak between dd/mm/yy
and mm/dd/yy, though.
+ The code to abbreviate an object name to its short unique prefix
has been optimized when no abbreviation was requested.
+ "git add --ignore-errors ..." did not ignore an error to
give a file that did not exist.
+ Git did not correctly read an overlong refname from a packed refs
file.

- git 2.2.1
Fixes arbitrary command execution vulnerability on case-
insensitive file systems. [boo#910756] [CVE-2014-9390]
This is not a usual case on GNU/Linux, but this update prevents
such commits to propagate to third parties (Windows, OS X) that
may be vulnerable.
* Thu Nov 27 2014 andreas.stieger@gmx.de
- git 2.2.0:
+ improvements and updates to UI, Workflows, Features and options

- git 2.1.3:
* Some MUAs mangled a line in a message that begins with "From "
to ">From " when writing to a mailbox file and feeding such an
input to "git am" used to lose such a line.
* "git daemon" (with NO_IPV6 build configuration) used to
incorrectly use the hostname even when gethostbyname()
reported that the given hostname is not found.
* Newer versions of 'meld' breaks the auto-detection we use to
see if they are new enough to support the `--output` option.
* "git pack-objects" forgot to disable the codepath to generate
object recheability bitmap when it needs to split the resulting
pack.
* "gitweb" used deprecated CGI::startfrom, which was removed from
CGI.pm as of 4.04; use CGI::start_from instead.
* "git log" documentation had an example section marked up not
quite correctly, which passed AsciiDoc but failed with
AsciiDoctor.
* Also contains some documentation updates.
