This is a bugfix release with the following changes:
-
Calculating information about renamed files during merges is more
efficient because dissimilarity about files is now being cached and
no longer needs to be recomputed. -
The
git_worktree_prune_init_optionshas been correctly restored for
backward compatibility. In v1.0 it was incorrectly deprecated with a
typo. -
The optional ntlmclient dependency now supports NetBSD.
-
A bug where attempting to stash on a bare repository may have failed
has been fixed. -
Configuration files that are unreadable due to permissions are now
silently ignored, and treated as if they do not exist. This matches
git's behavior; previously this case would have been an error. -
v4 index files are now correctly written; previously we would read
them correctly but would not write the prefix-compression accurately,
causing corruption. -
A bug where the smart HTTP transport could not read large data packets
has been fixed. Previously, fetching from servers like Gerrit, that
sent large data packets, would error.
