Git 2.37.2 Release Notes
========================
This primarily is to backport various fixes accumulated on the 'master'
front since 2.37.1.
Fixes since v2.37.1
-------------------
* "git shortlog -n" relied on the underlying qsort() to be stable,
which shouldn't have. Fixed.
* Variable quoting fix in the vimdiff driver of "git mergetool".
* An earlier attempt to plug leaks placed a clean-up label to jump to
at a bogus place, which as been corrected.
* Fixes a long-standing corner case bug around directory renames in
the merge-ort strategy.
* Recent update to vimdiff layout code has been made more robust
against different end-user vim settings.
* In a non-bare repository, the behavior of Git when the
core.worktree configuration variable points at a directory that has
a repository as its subdirectory, regressed in Git 2.27 days.
* References to commands-to-be-typed-literally in "git rebase"
documentation mark-up have been corrected.
* Give _() markings to fatal/warning/usage: labels that are shown in
front of these messages.
* "git mktree --missing" lazily fetched objects that are missing from
the local object store, which was totally unnecessary for the purpose
of creating the tree object(s) from its input.
* Fixes for tests when the source directory has unusual characters in
its path, e.g. whitespaces, double-quotes, etc.
* Adjust technical/bitmap-format to be formatted by AsciiDoc, and
add some missing information to the documentation.
* Certain diff options are currently ignored when combined-diff is
shown; mark them as incompatible with the feature.
* "git clone" from a repository with some ref whose HEAD is unborn
did not set the HEAD in the resulting repository correctly, which
has been corrected.
* mkstemp() emulation on Windows has been improved.
* Add missing documentation for "include" and "includeIf" features in
"git config" file format, which incidentally teaches the command
line completion to include them in its offerings.
* Avoid "white/black-list" in documentation and code comments.
* Workaround for a compiler warning against use of die() in
osx-keychain (in contrib/).
* Workaround for a false positive compiler warning.
* The resolve-undo information in the index was not protected against
GC, which has been corrected.
* A corner case bug where lazily fetching objects from a promisor
remote resulted in infinite recursion has been corrected.
* "git p4" working on UTF-16 files on Windows did not implement
CRLF-to-LF conversion correctly, which has been corrected.
* "git p4" did not handle non-ASCII client name well, which has been
corrected.
* "rerere-train" script (in contrib/) used to honor commit.gpgSign
while recreating the throw-away merges.
* "git checkout" miscounted the paths it updated, which has been
corrected.
* Fix for a bug that makes write-tree to fail to write out a
non-existent index as a tree, introduced in 2.37.
* There was a bug in the codepath to upgrade generation information
in commit-graph from v1 to v2 format, which has been corrected.
Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups.
