• ITUGLIB Update: Git 2.36.1

    From Randall@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 7 11:21:13 2022
    Well, 2.36.0 did not last very long. 2.36.1 fixes a bunch of usability issues discussed below. The new release is in the usual spot at ITUGLIB and has builds for J- and L-series and OpenSSL 3.0.x, 1.1.1x, and 1.0.2u.

    Regards,
    Randall Becker
    On behalf of the ITUGLIB Technical Committee

    The changes are (pasted from the official git 2.36.1 announcement):

    * "git submodule update" without pathspec should silently skip an
    uninitialized submodule, but it started to become noisy by mistake.

    * "diff-tree --stdin" has been broken for about a year, but 2.36
    release broke it even worse by breaking running the command with
    <pathspec>, which in turn broke "gitk" and got noticed. This has
    been corrected by aligning its behaviour to that of "log".

    * Regression fix for 2.36 where "git name-rev" started to sometimes
    reference strings after they are freed.

    * "git show <commit1> <commit2>... -- <pathspec>" lost the pathspec
    when showing the second and subsequent commits, which has been
    corrected.

    * "git fast-export -- <pathspec>" lost the pathspec when showing the
    second and subsequent commits, which has been corrected.

    * "git format-patch <args> -- <pathspec>" lost the pathspec when
    showing the second and subsequent commits, which has been
    corrected.

    * Get rid of a bogus and over-eager coccinelle rule.

    * Correct choices of C compilers used in various CI jobs.
