| Git v1.7.0.2 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.0.1 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * GIT_PAGER was not honored consistently by some scripted Porcelains, most |
| notably "git am". |
| |
| * updating working tree files after telling git to add them to the |
| index and while it is still working created garbage object files in |
| the repository without diagnosing it as an error. |
| |
| * "git bisect -- pathspec..." did not diagnose an error condition properly when |
| the simplification with given pathspec made the history empty. |
| |
| * "git rev-list --cherry-pick A...B" now has an obvious optimization when the |
| histories haven't diverged (i.e. when one end is an ancestor of the other). |
| |
| * "git diff --quiet -w" did not work as expected. |
| |
| * "git fast-import" didn't work with a large input, as it lacked support |
| for producing the pack index in v2 format. |
| |
| * "git imap-send" didn't use CRLF line endings over the imap protocol |
| when storing its payload to the draft box, violating RFC 3501. |
| |
| * "git log --format='%w(x,y,z)%b'" and friends that rewrap message |
| has been optimized for utf-8 payload. |
| |
| * Error messages generated on the receiving end did not come back to "git |
| push". |
| |
| * "git status" in 1.7.0 lacked the optimization we used to have in 1.6.X series |
| to speed up scanning of large working tree. |
| |
| * "gitweb" did not diagnose parsing errors properly while reading its configuration |
| file. |
| |
| And other minor fixes and documentation updates. |
