The tarballs are found at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.4.2' tag and the 'maint' branch that the tag points at: url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/ url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core url = https://github.com/gitster/git ---------------------------------------------------------------- Git v2.4.2 Release Notes ======================== Fixes since v2.4.1 ------------------ * "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. * We have prepended $GIT_EXEC_PATH and the path "git" is installed in (typically "/usr/bin") to $PATH when invoking subprograms and hooks for almost eternity, but the original use case the latter tried to support was semi-bogus (i.e. install git to /opt/foo/git and run it without having /opt/foo on $PATH), and more importantly it has become less and less relevant as Git grew more mainstream (i.e. the users would _want_ to have it on their $PATH). Stop prepending the path in which "git" is installed to users' $PATH, as that would interfere the command search order people depend on (e.g. they may not like versions of programs that are unrelated to Git in /usr/bin and want to override them by having different ones in /usr/local/bin and have the latter directory earlier in their $PATH). Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v2.4.1 are as follows: Eric Sunshine (3): git-hash-object.txt: document --literally option hash-object --literally: fix buffer overrun with extra-long object type t1007: add hash-object --literally tests Jeff King (7): limit_list: avoid quadratic behavior from still_interesting t3903: stop hard-coding commit sha1s t3903: avoid applying onto dirty index stash: require a clean index to apply stop putting argv[0] dirname at front of PATH rebase: silence "git checkout" for noop rebase filter-branch: avoid passing commit message through sed Junio C Hamano (3): write_sha1_file(): do not use a separate sha1[] array daemon: unbreak NO_IPV6 build regression Git 2.4.2 SZEDER Gábor (1): completion: fix and update 'git log --decorate=' options
