| Git v1.7.8.2 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.8.1 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * Porcelain commands like "git reset" did not distinguish deletions |
| and type-changes from ordinary modification, and reported them with |
| the same 'M' moniker. They now use 'D' (for deletion) and 'T' (for |
| type-change) to match "git status -s" and "git diff --name-status". |
| |
| * The configuration file parser used for sizes (e.g. bigFileThreshold) |
| did not correctly interpret 'g' suffix. |
| |
| * The replacement implemention for snprintf used on platforms with |
| native snprintf that is broken did not use va_copy correctly. |
| |
| * LF-to-CRLF streaming filter replaced all LF with CRLF, which might |
| be techinically correct but not friendly to people who are trying |
| to recover from earlier mistakes of using CRLF in the repository |
| data in the first place. It now refrains from doing so for LF that |
| follows a CR. |
| |
| * git native connection going over TCP (not over SSH) did not set |
| SO_KEEPALIVE option which failed to receive link layer errors. |
| |
| * "git branch -m <current branch> HEAD" is an obvious no-op but was not |
| allowed. |
| |
| * "git checkout -m" did not recreate the conflicted state in a "both |
| sides added, without any common ancestor version" conflict |
| situation. |
| |
| * "git cherry-pick $commit" (not a range) created an unnecessary |
| sequencer state and interfered with valid workflow to use the |
| command during a session to cherry-pick multiple commits. |
| |
| * You could make "git commit" segfault by giving the "--no-message" |
| option. |
| |
| * "fast-import" did not correctly update an existing notes tree, |
| possibly corrupting the fan-out. |
| |
| * "git fetch-pack" accepted unqualified refs that do not begin with |
| refs/ by mistake and compensated it by matching the refspec with |
| tail-match, which was doubly wrong. This broke fetching from a |
| repository with a funny named ref "refs/foo/refs/heads/master" and a |
| 'master' branch with "git fetch-pack refs/heads/master", as the |
| command incorrectly considered the former a "match". |
| |
| * "git log --follow" did not honor the rename threshold score given |
| with the -M option (e.g. "-M50%"). |
| |
| * "git mv" gave suboptimal error/warning messages when it overwrites |
| target files. It also did not pay attention to "-v" option. |
| |
| * Authenticated "git push" over dumb HTTP were broken with a recent |
| change and failed without asking for password when username is |
| given. |
| |
| * "git push" to an empty repository over HTTP were broken with a |
| recent change to the ref handling. |
| |
| * "git push -v" forgot how to be verbose by mistake. It now properly |
| becomes verbose when asked to. |
| |
| * When a "reword" action in "git rebase -i" failed to run "commit --amend", |
| we did not give the control back to the user to resolve the situation, and |
| instead kept the original commit log message. |
| |
| Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates. |
