Git 2.4.3 發布,此版本更新內容包括:
* Error messages from "git branch" called remote-tracking branches as
"remote branches".
* "git rerere forget" in a repository without rerere enabled gave a
cryptic error message; it should be a silent no-op instead.
* "git pull --log" and "git pull --no-log" worked as expected, but
"git pull --log=20" did not.
* The pull.ff configuration was supposed to override the merge.ff
configuration, but it didn't.
* The code to read pack-bitmap wanted to allocate a few hundred
pointers to a structure, but by mistake allocated and leaked memory
enough to hold that many actual structures.
* Various documentation mark-up fixes to make the output more
consistent in general and also make AsciiDoctor (an alternative
formatter) happier.
* "git bundle verify" did not diagnose extra parameters on the
command line.
* Multi-ref transaction support we merged a few releases ago
unnecessarily kept many file descriptors open, risking to fail with
resource exhaustion.
* The ref API did not handle cases where 'refs/heads/xyzzy/frotz' is
removed at the same time as 'refs/heads/xyzzy' is added (or vice
versa) very well.
* The "log --decorate" enhancement in Git 2.4 that shows the commit
at the tip of the current branch e.g. "HEAD -> master", did not
work with --decorate=full.
* There was a commented-out (instead of being marked to expect
failure) test that documented a breakage that was fixed since the
test was written; turn it into a proper test.
* core.excludesfile (defaulting to $XDG_HOME/git/ignore) is supposed
to be overridden by repository-specific .git/info/exclude file, but
the order was swapped from the beginning. This belatedly fixes it.
* The connection initiation code for "ssh" transport tried to absorb
differences between the stock "ssh" and Putty-supplied "plink" and
its derivatives, but the logic to tell that we are using "plink"
variants were too loose and falsely triggered when "plink" appeared
anywhere in the path (e.g. "/home/me/bin/uplink/ssh").
* "git rebase -i" moved the "current" command from "todo" to "done" a
bit too prematurely, losing a step when a "pick" did not even start.
* "git add -e" did not allow the user to abort the operation by
killing the editor.
* Git 2.4 broke setting verbosity and progress levels on "git clone"
with native transports.
* Some time ago, "git blame" (incorrectly) lost the convert_to_git()
call when synthesizing a fake "tip" commit that represents the
state in the working tree, which broke folks who record the history
with LF line ending to make their project portabile across
platforms while terminating lines in their working tree files with
CRLF for their platform.
* Code clean-up for xdg configuration path support.

Git 是 Linus Torvalds 為了幫助管理 Linux 內核開發而開發的一個開放源碼的版本控制軟體。
Torvalds 開始著手開發 Git 是為了作為一種過渡方案來替代 BitKeeper,後者之前一直是 Linux 內核開發人員在全球使用的主要原始碼工具。開放源碼社區中的有些人覺得 BitKeeper 的許可證並不適合開放源碼社區的工作,因此 Torvalds 決定著手研究許可證更為靈活的版本控制系統。儘管最初 Git 的開發是為了輔助 Linux 內核開發的過程,但是我們已經發現在很多其他自由軟體項目中也使用了 Git。例如,X.org 最近就遷移到 Git 上來了,很多 Freedesktop.org 的項目也遷移到了 Git 上。
