| Git v1.7.1.1 Release Notes (draft) |
| ================================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.1 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| * Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the |
| request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and |
| then the client will ask for the username to use. |
| |
| * We used to mistakenly think "../work" is a subdirectory of the current |
| directory when we are in "../work-xyz". |
| |
| * The attribute mechanism now allows an entry that uses an attribute |
| macro that set/unset one attribute, immediately followed by an |
| overriding setting; this makes attribute macros much easier to use. |
| |
| * We didn't recognize timezone "Z" as a synonym for "UTC" (75b37e70). |
| |
| * "git am -3" did not show diagnosis when the patch in the message was corrupt. |
| |
| * After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an |
| patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend |
| on the presense of such blank lines. |
| |
| * "git bundle --stdin" segfaulted. |
| |
| * "git checkout" and "git rebase" overwrote paths that are marked "assume |
| unchanged". |
| |
| * "git commit --amend" on a commit with an invalid author-name line that |
| lacks the display name didn't work. |
| |
| * "git describe" did not tie-break tags that point at the same commit |
| correctly; newer ones are preferred by paying attention to the |
| tagger date now. |
| |
| * "git diff" used to tell underlying xdiff machinery to work very hard to |
| minimize the output, but this often was spending too many extra cycles |
| for very little gain. |
| |
| * "git diff --color" did not paint extended diff headers per line |
| (i.e. the coloring escape sequence didn't end at the end of line), |
| which confused "less -R". |
| |
| * "git fetch" over HTTP verifies the downloaded packfiles more robustly. |
| |
| * The memory usage by "git index-pack" (run during "git fetch" and "git |
| push") got leaner. |
| |
| * "GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git" created foo.git instead of bar.git. |
| |
| * "git log --abbrev=$num --format='%h' ignored --abbrev=$num. |
| |
| * "git ls-files ../out/side/cwd" refused to work. |
| |
| * "git merge --log" used to replace the custom message given by "-m" with |
| the shortlog, instead of appending to it. |
| |
| * "git pull" accepted "--dry-run", gave it to underlying "git fetch" but |
| ignored the option itself, resulting in a bogus attempt to merge |
| unrelated commit. |
| |
| * "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in |
| a nonstandard location is in use got confused. |
| |
| * "git send-email" lacked a way to specify the domainname used in the |
| EHLO/HELO exchange, causing rejected connection from picky servers. |
| It learned --smtp-domain option to solve this issue. |
| |
| * "git show -C -C" and other corner cases lost diff metainfo output |
| in 1.7.0. |
| |
| * "git stash" incorrectly lost paths in the working tree that were |
| previously removed from the index. |
| |
| * "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake in 1.7.1. |
| |
| * "git status" showed excess "hints" even when advice.statusHints is set to false. |
| |
| And other minor fixes and documentation updates. |
