Git LFS Changelog

2.6.0 (1 November, 2018)

2.4.1 (18 May, 2018)

This release fixes a handful of bugs found and fixed since v2.4.0. In particular, Git LFS no longer panic()'s after invalid API responses, can correctly run 'fetch' on SHAs instead of references, migrates symbolic links correctly, and avoids writing to $HOME/.gitconfig more than is necessary.

We would like to extend a "thank you" to the following contributors for their gracious patches:

@QuLogic fixed an issue with running tests that require credentials
@patrickmarlier made it possible for 'git lfs migrate import' to work correctly with symbolic links.
@zackse fixed an inconsistency in CONTRIBUTING.md
@zanglang fixed an inconsistency in README.md

Git LFS would not be possible without generous contributions from the open-source community. For these, and many more: thank you!

2.4.0 (2 March, 2018)

This release introduces a rewrite of the underlying file matching engine, expands the API to include relevant refspecs for individual requests, standardizes the progress output among commands, and more.

Please note: in the next MAJOR release (v3.0.0) the semantic meaning behind --include and --exclude flags will change. As the details of exactly which existing patterns will no longer function as previously are known, we will indicate them here. Any --include or --exclude patterns used in v2.3.0 or earlier are expected to work as previously in this release.

This release would not be possible without the open-source community. Specifically, we would like to thank:

@larsxschneider: for contributing fixes to the filter operation in git lfs fsck, and git lfs prune, as well as the bug report leading to the filepathfilter changes.
@yfronto: for adding new Linux release targets.
@stffabi: for adding support for NTLM with SSPI on Windows.
@jeffreydwalter: for fixing memory alignment issues with sync/atomic on 32-bit architectures.
@b4mboo: for adding a LFS configuration key to the list of safe configuration options.

Without the aforementioned indviduals, this release would not have been possible. Thank you!

Git LFS v2.3.0 includes performance optimizations for the git-lfs-migrate(1) and git-clone(1) commands, new features, bug-fixes, and more.

This release was made possible by contributors to Git LFS. Specifically:

@bozaro: added support for custom .git/lfs/objects directories via the lfs.storage configuration option.
@larsxschneider: fixed a recursive process leak when shelling out to Git, added new features to git lfs ls-files, extra information in error messages used for debugging, documentation changes and more.
@mathstuf: contributed a documentation change clarifying LFS's handling of empty pointer files.
@rudineirk and @andyneff: updated our release process to build packages for fedora/26.
@ssgelm: ensured that LFS is able to be released on Ubuntu Universe.

2.2.0 (27 June, 2017)

Git LFS v2.2.0 includes bug fixes, minor features, and a brand new migrate command. The migrate command rewrites commits, converting large files from Git blobs to LFS objects. The most common use case will fix a git push rejected for having large blobs:

$ git push origin master
# ...
remote: error: file a.psd is 1.2 gb; this exceeds github's file size limit of 100.00 mb
to github.com:ttaylorr/demo.git
 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:ttaylorr/demo.git'

$ git lfs migrate info
*.psd   1.2 GB   27/27 files(s)  100%

$ git lfs migrate import --include="*.psd"
migrate: Sorting commits: ..., done
migrate: Rewriting commits: 100% (810/810), done
  master        f18bb746d44e8ea5065fc779bb1acdf3cdae7ed8 -> 35b0fe0a7bf3ae6952ec9584895a7fb6ebcd498b
migrate: Updating refs: ..., done

$ git push origin
Git LFS: (1 of 1 files) 1.2 GB / 1.2 GB
# ...
To github.com:ttaylorr/demo.git
 * [new branch]      master -> master

The migrate command has detailed options described in the git-lfs-migrate(1) man page. Keep in mind that this is the first pass at such a command, so we expect there to be bugs and performance issues (especially on long git histories). Future updates to the command will be focused on improvements to allow full LFS transitions on large repositories.

2.1.1 (19 May, 2017)

Git LFS v2.1.1 ships with bug fixes and a security patch fixing a remote code execution vulnerability exploitable by setting a SSH remote via your repository's .lfsconfig to contain the string "-oProxyCommand". This vulnerability is only exploitable if an attacker has write access to your repository, or you clone a repository with a .lfsconfig file containing that string.

2.0.0 (1 March, 2017)

Git LFS v2.0.0 brings a number of important bug fixes, some new features, and a lot of internal refactoring. It also completely removes old APIs that were deprecated in Git LFS v0.6.

Locking

File Locking is a brand new feature that lets teams communicate when they are working on files that are difficult to merge. Users are not able to edit or push changes to any files that are locked by other users. While the feature has been in discussion for a year, we are releasing a basic Locking implementation to solicit feedback from the community.

Transfer Queue

LFS 2.0 introduces a new Git Scanner, which walks a range of Git commits looking for LFS objects to transfer. The Git Scanner is now asynchronous, initiating large uploads or downloads in the Transfer Queue immediately once an LFS object is found. Previously, the Transfer Queue waited until all of the Git commits have been scanned before initiating the transfer. The Transfer Queue also automatically retries failed uploads and downloads more often.

Deprecations

Git LFS v2.0.0 also drops support for the legacy API in v0.5.0. If you're still using LFS servers on the old API, you'll have to stick to v1.5.6.
