CHANGES for 0.78 (tags/0.78)


Stefan Sperling

fix free() of wrong address in gotweb's parse.y

Found by sthen via ports-gcc: gotweb/parse.y:504:3: warning: attempt to free a non-heap object 'file'


Stefan Sperling

../lib/diffreg.c:44: error: initializer element is not constant ../lib/diffreg.c:51: error: initializer element is not constant ../lib/diffreg.c:59: error: initializer element is not constant ../lib/diffreg.c:66: error: initializer element is not constant reported by Red on Libera IRC, and by sthen@ who pointed out such failures appearing in landry's sparc64 bulk build logs.


Stefan Sperling

fix reference counting of raw objects opened via privsep helpers

Such objects were never closed, resulting in memory and file descriptor leaks.



Stefan Sperling

do not hint at empty temporary diff files in the log message buffer

ok op@



Stefan Sperling

use a global flag instead of a per-file flag to detect staged changes

ok op@


Stefan Sperling

use mkstemps(3) instead of mkstemp(3) for opening named temporary files

Allows 'got commit' to use a ".diff" suffix for temporary diff files. ok op@


Stefan Sperling

provide a diff of changes in a temp file while editing a commit log message

ok landry@



Stefan Sperling

sync dist file list




Landry Breuil

add respect_exportok flag, defaulting to off

allows to hide repositories if they have the magic git-daemon-export-ok file ok op@ tracey@ stsp@


Omar Polo

gotd: propagate confpath to children as well

otherwise they end up running with default config which isn't ideal. ok stsp@


Omar Polo

awk ftw! no need to grep, awk can filter lines by itself

ok stsp@



Landry Breuil

send a newline first if erroring out in plaintext mode

otherwise, the webserver might complain: 'upstream sent invalid header: "gotwebd\x20..." while reading response header from upstream' ok stsp@


Stefan Sperling

require space between commit author name and email, for Git compatibility

Allowing such author fields breaks 'got send' towards Github for affected commits because git-index-pack --strict will error out on the server: $ git index-pack --strict pack-de791fb6a3a1961e44ac5d98d72fd533bf9277c8.pack error: object 5d6bde9eaaf27f41ae8fa7112bb45e489d3c16b9: missingSpaceBeforeEmail: invalid author/committer line - missing space before email fatal: fsck error in packed object problem encountered by landry@ ok op@






Stefan Sperling

got-fetch-pack: fix wrong memmove length leading to dubious checksum failures

ok millert tracey
