| Git v1.8.2.2 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.8.2.1 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * "git diff --diff-algorithm=algo" was understood by the command line |
| parser, but "git diff --diff-algorithm algo" was not. |
| |
| * "git log -S/-G" started paying attention to textconv filter, but |
| there was no way to disable this. Make it honor --no-textconv |
| option. |
| |
| * "git merge $(git rev-parse v1.8.2)" behaved quite differently from |
| "git merge v1.8.2", as if v1.8.2 were written as v1.8.2^0 and did |
| not pay much attention to the annotated tag payload. Make the code |
| notice the type of the tag object, in addition to the dwim_ref() |
| based classification the current code uses (i.e. the name appears |
| in refs/tags/) to decide when to special case merging of tags. |
| |
| * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can take more than one commit |
| on the command line these days, but it was not mentioned on the usage |
| text. |
| |
| * Perl scripts like "git-svn" closed (not redirecting to /dev/null) |
| the standard error stream, which is not a very smart thing to do. |
| Later open may return file descriptor #2 for unrelated purpose, and |
| error reporting code may write into them. |
| |
| * "git apply --whitespace=fix" was not prepared to see a line getting |
| longer after fixing whitespaces (e.g. tab-in-indent aka Python). |
| |
| * "git diff/log --cc" did not work well with options that ignore |
| whitespace changes. |
| |
| * Documentation on setting up a http server that requires |
| authentication only on the push but not fetch has been clarified. |
| |
| * A few bugfixes to "git rerere" working on corner case merge |
| conflicts have been applied. |
| |
| * "git bundle" did not like a bundle created using a commit without |
| any message as its one of the prerequistes. |
