Git 2.8.3 发布

Git 2.8.3 发布了，改进记录如下：

* “git send-email” now uses a more readable timestamps when
formulating a message ID.

* The repository set-up sequence has been streamlined (the biggest
change is that there is no longer git_config_early()), so that we
do not attempt to look into refs/* when we know we do not have a
Git repository.

* When “git worktree” feature is in use, “git branch -d” allowed
deletion of a branch that is checked out in another worktree

* When “git worktree” feature is in use, “git branch -m” renamed a
branch that is checked out in another worktree without adjusting
the HEAD symbolic ref for the worktree.

* “git format-patch –help” showed `-s` and `–no-patch` as if these
are valid options to the command. We already hide `–patch` option
from the documentation, because format-patch is about showing the
diff, and the documentation now hides these options as well.

* A change back in version 2.7 to “git branch” broke display of a
symbolic ref in a non-standard place in the refs/ hierarchy (we
expect symbolic refs to appear in refs/remotes/*/HEAD to point at
the primary branch the remote has, and as .git/HEAD to point at the
branch we locally checked out).

* A partial rewrite of “git submodule” in the 2.7 timeframe changed
the way the gitdir: pointer in the submodules point at the real
repository location to use absolute paths by accident. This has
been corrected.

* “git commit” misbehaved in a few minor ways when an empty message
is given via -m ”, all of which has been corrected.

* Support for CRAM-MD5 authentication method in “git imap-send” did
not work well.

* The socks5:// proxy support added back in 2.6.4 days was not aware
that socks5h:// proxies behave differently.

* “git config” had a codepath that tried to pass a NULL to
printf(“%s”), which nobody seems to have noticed.

* On Cygwin, object creation uses the “create a temporary and then
rename it to the final name” pattern, not “create a temporary,
hardlink it to the final name and then unlink the temporary”
pattern.
