- update to 2.47.0:
* https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.47.0.txt
* Many Porcelain commands that internally use the merge machinery
were taught to consistently honor the diff.algorithm
configuration.
* A few descriptions in "git show-ref -h" have been clarified.
* A 'P' command to "git add -p" that passes the patch hunk to the
pager has been added.
* "git grep -W" omits blank lines that follow the found function at
the end of the file, just like it omits blank lines before the next
function.
* The value of http.proxy can have "path" at the end for a socks
proxy that listens to a unix-domain socket, but we started to
discard it when we taught proxy auth code path to use the
credential helpers, which has been corrected.
* The code paths to compact multiple reftable files have been updated
to correctly deal with multiple compaction triggering at the same
time.
* Support to specify ref backend for submodules has been enhanced.
* "git svn" has been taught about svn:global-ignores property
recent versions of Subversion has.
* The default object hash and ref backend format used to be settable
only with explicit command line option to "git init" and
environment variables, but now they can be configured in the user's
global and system wide configuration.
* "git send-email" learned "--translate-aliases" option that reads
addresses from the standard input and emits the result of applying
aliases on them to the standard output.
* 'git for-each-ref' learned a new "--format" atom to find the branch
that the history leading to a given commit "%(is-base:<commit>)" is

* Revert the "git patch-id" change that went into 2.46.1,
as it seems to have got a regression reported (I haven't verified,
but it is better to keep a known breakage than adding an unintended
regression).
* In a few corner cases "git diff --exit-code" failed to report
"changes" (e.g., renamed without any content change), which has
been corrected.
* The interpret-trailers command failed to recognise the end of the
message when the commit log ends in an incomplete line.

* "git checkout --ours" (no other arguments) complained that the
option is incompatible with branch switching, which is technically
correct, but found confusing by some users. It now says that the
user needs to give pathspec to specify what paths to checkout.
* It has been documented that we avoid "VAR=VAL shell_func" and why.
* "git add -p" by users with diff.suppressBlankEmpty set to true
failed to parse the patch that represents an unmodified empty line
with an empty line (not a line with a single space on it), which
has been corrected.
* "git rebase --help" referred to "offset" (the difference between
the location a change was taken from and the change gets replaced)
incorrectly and called it "fuzz", which has been corrected.
* "git notes add -m '' --allow-empty" and friends that take prepared
data to create notes should not invoke an editor, but it started
doing so since Git 2.42, which has been corrected.
* An expensive operation to prepare tracing was done in re-encoding
code path even when the tracing was not requested, which has been
corrected.
* Perforce tests have been updated.
* The credential helper to talk to OSX keychain sometimes sent
garbage bytes after the username, which has been corrected.
* A recent update broke "git ls-remote" used outside a repository,
which has been corrected.
* "git config --value=foo --fixed-value section.key newvalue" barfed
when the existing value in the configuration file used the
valueless true syntax, which has been corrected.
* "git reflog expire" failed to honor annotated tags when computing
reachable commits.
* A flakey test and incorrect calls to strtoX() functions have been

- update to 2.43.0:
* The "--rfc" option of "git format-patch" used to be a valid way to
override an earlier "--subject-prefix=<something>" on the command
line and replace it with "[RFC PATCH]", but from this release, it
merely prefixes the string "RFC " in front of the given subject
prefix. If you are negatively affected by this change, please use
"--subject-prefix=PATCH --rfc" as a replacement.
* In Git 2.42, "git rev-list --stdin" learned to take non-revisions
(like "--not") from the standard input, but the way such a "--not" was
handled was quite confusing, which has been rethought. The updated
rule is that "--not" given from the command line only affects revs
given from the command line that comes but not revs read from the
standard input, and "--not" read from the standard input affects
revs given from the standard input and not revs given from the
command line.
* A message written in olden time prevented a branch from getting
checked out, saying it is already checked out elsewhere. But these
days, we treat a branch that is being bisected or rebased just like
a branch that is checked out and protect it from getting modified
with the same codepath. The message has been rephrased to say that
the branch is "in use" to avoid confusion.
* Hourly and other schedules of "git maintenance" jobs are randomly
distributed now.
* "git cmd -h" learned to signal which options can be negated by
listing such options like "--[no-]opt".
* The way authentication related data other than passwords (e.g.,
oauth token and password expiration data) are stored in libsecret
keyrings has been rethought.
* Update the libsecret and wincred credential helpers to correctly
match which credential to erase; they erased the wrong entry in

- git 2.40.1:
* CVE-2023-25652: By feeding specially crafted input to git apply
--reject, a path outside the working tree can be overwritten
with partially controlled contents (corresponding to the
rejected hunk(s) from the given patch).
* CVE-2023-25815: When Git is compiled with runtime prefix
support and runs without translated messages, it still used
the gettext machinery to display messages, which subsequently
potentially looked for translated messages in unexpected
places. This allowed for malicious placement of crafted
messages.
* CVE-2023-29007: When renaming or deleting a section from a
configuration file, certain malicious configuration values may
be misinterpreted as the beginning of a new configuration
section, leading to arbitrary configuration injection.
