2.4.5

Git v2.4.5 Release Notes ========================

Fixes since v2.4.4 ------------------

• The setup code used to die when core.bare and core.worktree are set inconsistently, even for commands that do not need working tree.

• There was a dead code that used to handle "git pull --tags" and show special-cased error message, which was made irrelevant when the semantics of the option changed back in Git 1.9 days.

• "color.diff.plain" was a misnomer; give it ’color.diff.context’ as a more logical synonym.

• The configuration reader/writer uses mmap(2) interface to access the files; when we find a directory, it barfed with "Out of memory?".

• Recent "git prune" traverses young unreachable objects to safekeep old objects in the reachability chain from them, which sometimes showed unnecessary error messages that are alarming.

• "git rebase -i" fired post-rewrite hook when it shouldn’t (namely, when it was told to stop sequencing with ’exec’ insn).

Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
