Git v1.8.4.3 Release Notes
========================
Fixes since v1.8.4.2
--------------------
* "git rev-list --objects ^v1.0^ v1.0" gave v1.0 tag itself in the
output, but "git rev-list --objects v1.0^..v1.0" did not.
* The fall-back parsing of commit objects with broken author or
committer lines were less robust than ideal in picking up the
timestamps.
* Bash prompting code to deal with an SVN remote as an upstream
were coded in a way not supported by older Bash versions (3.x).
* "git checkout topic", when there is not yet a local "topic" branch
but there is a unique remote-tracking branch for a remote "topic"
branch, pretended as if "git checkout -t -b topic remote/$r/topic"
(for that unique remote $r) was run. This hack however was not
implemented for "git checkout topic --".
* Coloring around octopus merges in "log --graph" output was screwy.
* We did not generate HTML version of documentation to "git subtree"
in contrib/.
* The synopsis section of "git unpack-objects" documentation has been
clarified a bit.
* An ancient How-To on serving Git repositories on an HTTP server
lacked a warning that it has been mostly superseded with more
modern way.
Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation
updates, updates to the test suite, etc.
