Need to release git client 6.1.4 to support CLI git 2.51.0. This reverts commit 1706269.
…enkinsci#1326) Command line git 2.51.0 has deprecated the "git whatchanged" command and recommends that it be replaced with "git log --raw". Refer to the blog post: https://github.blog/open-source/git/highlights-from-git-2-51/ Testing done: Interactive testing confirmed that without this change, the changelog that is usually displayed on a freestyle project will silently remain empty when using command line git 2.51.0. With this change, the changelog displays as expected. Automated tests pass on: * Debian 11 (Git 2.30) * Debian 12 (Git 2.39) * FreeBSD 14 (Git 2.50) * Red Hat 8 (Git 2.51, built from source code) * Ubuntu 22 (Git 2.34) * Ubuntu 24 (Git 2.43) * Windows 11 (Git 2.50.1) Those test combinations are a wide range of versions of command line git. (cherry picked from commit 9999864)
Git client 6.3.1 adapted the git client plugin to support command line git 2.51.0 where the "whatchanged" command has been deprecated. However, the change introduced an inconsistency between the CLI git implementation and the JGit implementation. Prior to git client plugin 6.3.1, the changelog skipped merge commits in all cases. With git client 6.3.1, the CLI git changelog includes merge commits. With git client 6.3.1, the JGit changelog does not include merge commits. Testing done: * Confirmed the bug with interactive testing of git client plugin 6.3.1 * Wrote an automated test that shows the inconsistency * Confirmed that the automated test fails with git client 6.3.1 and passes with the fix (cherry picked from commit 358e279)
(cherry picked from commit 20090a8)
