| Git v1.7.11.2 Release Notes |
| =========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.11.1 |
| --------------------- |
| |
| * On Cygwin, the platform pread(2) is not thread safe, just like our |
| own compat/ emulation, and cannot be used in the index-pack |
| program. Makefile variable NO_THREAD_SAFE_PREAD can be defined to |
| avoid use of this function in a threaded program. |
| |
| * "git add" allows adding a regular file to the path where a |
| submodule used to exist, but "git update-index" does not allow an |
| equivalent operation to Porcelain writers. |
| |
| * "git archive" incorrectly computed the header checksum; the symptom |
| was observed only when using pathnames with hi-bit set. |
| |
| * "git blame" did not try to make sure that the abbreviated commit |
| object names in its output are unique. |
| |
| * Running "git bundle verify" on a bundle that records a complete |
| history said "it requires these 0 commits". |
| |
| * "git clone --single-branch" to clone a single branch did not limit |
| the cloning to the specified branch. |
| |
| * "git diff --no-index" did not correctly handle relative paths and |
| did not correctly give exit codes when run under "--quiet" option. |
| |
| * "git diff --no-index" did not work with pagers correctly. |
| |
| * "git diff COPYING HEAD:COPYING" gave a nonsense error message that |
| claimed that the treeish HEAD did not have COPYING in it. |
| |
| * When "git log" gets "--simplify-merges/by-decoration" together with |
| "--first-parent", the combination of these options makes the |
| simplification logic to use in-core commit objects that haven't |
| been examined for relevance, either producing incorrect result or |
| taking too long to produce any output. Teach the simplification |
| logic to ignore commits that the first-parent traversal logic |
| ignored when both are in effect to work around the issue. |
| |
| * "git ls-files --exclude=t -i" did not consider anything under t/ as |
| excluded, as it did not pay attention to exclusion of leading paths |
| while walking the index. Other two users of excluded() are also |
| updated. |
| |
| * "git request-pull $url dev" when the tip of "dev" branch was tagged |
| with "ext4-for-linus" used the contents from the tag in the output |
| but still asked the "dev" branch to be pulled, not the tag. |
| |
| Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates. |
