Git 2.9 Release Notes = Backward compatibility notes The end-user facing Porcelain level commands in the "git diff" and "git log" family by default enable the rename detection; you can still 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. The output formats of "git log" that indents the commit log message by 4 spaces now expands HT in the log message by default. You can use the "--no-expand-tabs" option to disable this. "git commit-tree" plumbing command required the user to always sign its result when the user sets the commit.gpgsign configuration variable, which was an ancient mistake, which this release corrects. A script that drives commit-tree, if it relies on this mistake, now needs to read commit.gpgsign and pass the -S option as necessary. Updates since v2.8 -- UI, Workflows & Features * Comes with git-multimail 1.3.1 (in contrib/). * The end-user facing commands like "git diff" and "git log" now enable the rename detection by default. * The credential.helper configuration variable is cumulative and there is no good way to override it from the command line. As a special case, giving an empty string as its value now serves as the signal to clear the values specified in various files. * A new "interactive.diffFilter" configuration can be used to customize the diff shown in "git add -i" sessions. * "git p4" now allows P4 author names to be mapped to Git author names. * "git rebase -x" can be used without passing "-i" option. * "git -c credential.= submodule" can now be used to propagate configuration variables related to credential helper down to the submodules. * "git tag" can create an annotated tag without explicitly given an "-a" (or "-s") option (i.e. when a tag message is given). A new configuration variable, tag.forceSignAnnotated, can be used to tell the command to create signed tag in such a situation. * "git merge" used to allow merging two branches that have no common base by default, which led to a brand new history of an existing project created and then get pulled by an unsuspecting maintainer, which allowed an unnecessary parallel history merged into the existing project. The command has been taught not to allow this by default, with an escape hatch "--allow-unrelated-histories" option to be used in a rare event that merges histories of two projects that started their lives independently. * "git pull" has been taught to pass the "--allow-unrelated-histories" option to underlying "git merge". * "git apply -v" learned to report
