| Git 1.8.1.3 Release Notes
 | |
| =========================
 | |
| 
 | |
| Fixes since v1.8.1.2
 | |
| --------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be
 | |
|    applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the
 | |
|    exclude mechanism does.  The fix for this in 1.8.1.2 had
 | |
|    performance degradations.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Command line completion code was inadvertently made incompatible with
 | |
|    older versions of bash by using a newer array notation.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Scripts to test bash completion was inherently flaky as it was
 | |
|    affected by whatever random things the user may have on $PATH.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * A fix was added to the build procedure to work around buggy
 | |
|    versions of ccache broke the auto-generation of dependencies, which
 | |
|    unfortunately is still relevant because some people use ancient
 | |
|    distros.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * We used to stuff "user@" and then append what we read from
 | |
|    /etc/mailname to come up with a default e-mail ident, but a bug
 | |
|    lost the "user@" part.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git am" did not parse datestamp correctly from Hg generated patch,
 | |
|    when it is run in a locale outside C (or en).
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Attempt to "branch --edit-description" an existing branch, while
 | |
|    being on a detached HEAD, errored out.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git cherry-pick" did not replay a root commit to an unborn branch.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * We forgot to close the file descriptor reading from "gpg" output,
 | |
|    killing "git log --show-signature" on a long history.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * "git rebase --preserve-merges" lost empty merges in recent versions
 | |
|    of Git.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Rebasing the history of superproject with change in the submodule
 | |
|    has been broken since v1.7.12.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * A failure to push due to non-ff while on an unborn branch
 | |
|    dereferenced a NULL pointer when showing an error message.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Also contains various documentation fixes.
