| Git v1.7.8.2 Release Notes
 | |
| ==========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fixes since v1.7.8.1
 | |
| --------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Porcelain commands like "git reset" did not distinguish deletions
 | |
|    and type-changes from ordinary modification, and reported them with
 | |
|    the same 'M' moniker. They now use 'D' (for deletion) and 'T' (for
 | |
|    type-change) to match "git status -s" and "git diff --name-status".
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The configuration file parser used for sizes (e.g. bigFileThreshold)
 | |
|    did not correctly interpret 'g' suffix.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The replacement implementation for snprintf used on platforms with
 | |
|    native snprintf that is broken did not use va_copy correctly.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * LF-to-CRLF streaming filter replaced all LF with CRLF, which might
 | |
|    be technically correct but not friendly to people who are trying
 | |
|    to recover from earlier mistakes of using CRLF in the repository
 | |
|    data in the first place. It now refrains from doing so for LF that
 | |
|    follows a CR.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * git native connection going over TCP (not over SSH) did not set
 | |
|    SO_KEEPALIVE option which failed to receive link layer errors.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git branch -m <current branch> HEAD" is an obvious no-op but was not
 | |
|    allowed.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git checkout -m" did not recreate the conflicted state in a "both
 | |
|    sides added, without any common ancestor version" conflict
 | |
|    situation.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git cherry-pick $commit" (not a range) created an unnecessary
 | |
|    sequencer state and interfered with valid workflow to use the
 | |
|    command during a session to cherry-pick multiple commits.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * You could make "git commit" segfault by giving the "--no-message"
 | |
|    option.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "fast-import" did not correctly update an existing notes tree,
 | |
|    possibly corrupting the fan-out.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git fetch-pack" accepted unqualified refs that do not begin with
 | |
|    refs/ by mistake and compensated it by matching the refspec with
 | |
|    tail-match, which was doubly wrong. This broke fetching from a
 | |
|    repository with a funny named ref "refs/foo/refs/heads/master" and a
 | |
|    'master' branch with "git fetch-pack refs/heads/master", as the
 | |
|    command incorrectly considered the former a "match".
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git log --follow" did not honor the rename threshold score given
 | |
|    with the -M option (e.g. "-M50%").
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git mv" gave suboptimal error/warning messages when it overwrites
 | |
|    target files. It also did not pay attention to "-v" option.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Authenticated "git push" over dumb HTTP were broken with a recent
 | |
|    change and failed without asking for password when username is
 | |
|    given.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git push" to an empty repository over HTTP were broken with a
 | |
|    recent change to the ref handling.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git push -v" forgot how to be verbose by mistake. It now properly
 | |
|    becomes verbose when asked to.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * When a "reword" action in "git rebase -i" failed to run "commit --amend",
 | |
|    we did not give the control back to the user to resolve the situation, and
 | |
|    instead kept the original commit log message.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
