| Git v1.8.5.5 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.8.5.4 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * The pathspec matching code, while comparing two trees (e.g. "git |
| diff A B -- path1 path2") was too aggressive and failed to match |
| some paths when multiple pathspecs were involved. |
| |
| * "git repack --max-pack-size=8g" stopped being parsed correctly when |
| the command was reimplemented in C. |
| |
| * A recent update to "git send-email" broke platforms where |
| /etc/ssl/certs/ directory exists but cannot be used as SSL_ca_path |
| (e.g. Fedora rawhide). |
| |
| * A handful of bugs around interpreting $branch@{upstream} notation |
| and its lookalike, when $branch part has interesting characters, |
| e.g. "@", and ":", have been fixed. |
| |
| * "git clone" would fail to clone from a repository that has a ref |
| directly under "refs/", e.g. "refs/stash", because different |
| validation paths do different things on such a refname. Loosen the |
| client side's validation to allow such a ref. |
| |
| * "git log --left-right A...B" lost the "leftness" of commits |
| reachable from A when A is a tag as a side effect of a recent |
| bugfix. This is a regression in 1.8.4.x series. |
| |
| * "git merge-base --octopus" used to leave cleaning up suboptimal |
| result to the caller, but now it does the clean-up itself. |
| |
| * "git mv A B/", when B does not exist as a directory, should error |
| out, but it didn't. |
| |
| Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. |
