Git v1.7.11.7 Release Notes
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.11.6
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
* The synopsis said "checkout [-B branch]" to make it clear the
|
|
branch name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the
|
|
option description was "-B::", not "-B branch::", making the
|
|
documentation misleading.
|
|
|
|
* Git ships with a fall-back regexp implementation for platforms with
|
|
buggy regexp library, but it was easy for people to keep using their
|
|
platform regexp. A new test has been added to check this.
|
|
|
|
* "git apply -p0" did not parse pathnames on "diff --git" line
|
|
correctly. This caused patches that had pathnames in no other
|
|
places to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that
|
|
does not rename nor change mode). Textual patches, renames or mode
|
|
changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different places
|
|
in a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer from
|
|
this problem.
|
|
|
|
* After "gitk" showed the contents of a tag, neither "Reread
|
|
references" nor "Reload" did not update what is shown as the
|
|
contents of it, when the user overwrote the tag with "git tag -f".
|
|
|
|
* "git for-each-ref" did not correctly support more than one --sort
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
* "git log .." errored out saying it is both rev range and a path
|
|
when there is no disambiguating "--" is on the command line.
|
|
Update the command line parser to interpret ".." as a path in such
|
|
a case.
|
|
|
|
* Pushing to smart HTTP server with recent Git fails without having
|
|
the username in the URL to force authentication, if the server is
|
|
configured to allow GET anonymously, while requiring authentication
|
|
for POST.
|
|
|
|
* "git show --format='%ci'" did not give timestamp correctly for
|
|
commits created without human readable name on "committer" line.
|
|
(merge e27ddb6 jc/maint-ident-missing-human-name later to maint).
|
|
|
|
* "git show --quiet" ought to be a synonym for "git show -s", but
|
|
wasn't.
