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.
