| Git v1.7.9.1 Release Notes
 | |
| ==========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fixes since v1.7.9
 | |
| ------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The makefile allowed environment variable X seep into it result in
 | |
|    command names suffixed with unnecessary strings.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The set of included header files in compat/inet-{ntop,pton}
 | |
|    wrappers was updated for Windows some time ago, but in a way that
 | |
|    broke Solaris build.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * rpmbuild noticed an unpackaged but installed *.mo file and failed.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Subprocesses spawned from various git programs were often left running
 | |
|    to completion even when the top-level process was killed.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git add -e" learned not to show a diff for an otherwise unmodified
 | |
|    submodule that only has uncommitted local changes in the patch
 | |
|    prepared by for the user to edit.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Typo in "git branch --edit-description my-tpoic" was not diagnosed.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Using "git grep -l/-L" together with options -W or --break may not
 | |
|    make much sense as the output is to only count the number of hits
 | |
|    and there is no place for file breaks, but the latter options made
 | |
|    "-l/-L" to miscount the hits.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git log --first-parent $pathspec" did not stay on the first parent
 | |
|    chain and veered into side branch from which the whole change to the
 | |
|    specified paths came.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git merge --no-edit $tag" failed to honor the --no-edit option.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git merge --ff-only $tag" failed because it cannot record the
 | |
|    required mergetag without creating a merge, but this is so common
 | |
|    operation for branch that is used _only_ to follow the upstream, so
 | |
|    it was changed to allow fast-forwarding without recording the mergetag.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git mergetool" now gives an empty file as the common base version
 | |
|    to the backend when dealing with the "both sides added, differently"
 | |
|    case.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git push -q" was not sufficiently quiet.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * When "git push" fails to update any refs, the client side did not
 | |
|    report an error correctly to the end user.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "rebase" and "commit --amend" failed to work on commits with ancient
 | |
|    timestamps near year 1970.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * When asking for a tag to be pulled, "request-pull" did not show the
 | |
|    name of the tag prefixed with "tags/", which would have helped older
 | |
|    clients.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git submodule add $path" forgot to recompute the name to be stored
 | |
|    in .gitmodules when the submodule at $path was once added to the
 | |
|    superproject and already initialized.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Many small corner case bugs on "git tag -n" was corrected.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
