topgit-0.19.13

Reminder

TopGit 0.19.4 (2017-02-14) introduced support for a new top-bases location
under heads. This new location will become the default as of the TopGit
0.20.0 release. The current location under refs will continue to be
supported in the future. See tg help migrate-bases for more details.

Basics

A great deal of behind-the-scenes work has been completed in this release.

Core awk functionality now has full test coverage. Some code refactoring
needed to move forward with some other improvements has been done (and tests
added for it). There are only a very few end-user visible changes:

  1. tg goto is an implicit alias for tg checkout goto, but only if no
    topgit.alias.goto has been explicitly configured.
  2. Both tg export and tg import accept a new --notes option.
  3. Much of the help has been cleaned up and the text-only versions polished
    to make them more readable and more digestible (there's still plenty of
    room for future improvements though).

Details

There are several accomodations and updates to handle the idiosyncrasies
of more recent Git versions. Of particular note, --object-format=sha256
repositories (available since Git 2.29.0) are handled properly and all the
tests are automatically run against both the sha1 and sha256 formats when
testing with a version of Git that is version 2.29.0 or later.

There are several bug fixes included in this release.

All users of TopGit are strongly encouraged to update to this release
due to the various bugs that it squashes.

Of particular note is a bug that had been present since 0.19.4 that may have
resulted in a tg update finishing but then tg summary still showing that
things were out-of-date. Most often seen when dealing with TopGit remotes.
A second tg update did correct the issue and although nothing was actually
incorrectly merged, the bug, when triggered, did cause several unnecessary
merge commits to be entered into the repository's history.

Another corrected bug involves use of branch names that contain characters
with an ASCII value less than 0x2F (/). When certain combinations of
such names were encountered, incorrect operation could have resulted.

Other notable bug fixes are highlighted in the next section.
