| Git v2.3.1 Release Notes
 | |
| ========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fixes since v2.3
 | |
| ----------------
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it"
 | |
|    interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when
 | |
|    the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the
 | |
|    user could have made was to choose nothing.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git apply --whitespace=fix" used to under-allocate the memory
 | |
|    when the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git log --help" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant
 | |
|    to the "log" command.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author
 | |
|    name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been
 | |
|    reworded to avoid misunderstanding.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the
 | |
|    dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other
 | |
|    side.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the
 | |
|    only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in
 | |
|    the --raw format.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Fix a misspelled conditional that is always true.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory
 | |
|    would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The "git push" documentation made the "--repo=<there>" option
 | |
|    easily misunderstood.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * After attempting and failing a password-less authentication
 | |
|    (e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based
 | |
|    Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce
 | |
|    broken patches.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
 | |
|    not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
 | |
|    files and failed to do so for whatever reason.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it
 | |
|    tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD".
 | |
| 
 | |
| Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
