| Git v1.7.11.7 Release Notes |
| =========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.11.6 |
| --------------------- |
| |
| * The synopsis said "checkout [-B branch]" to make it clear the |
| branch name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the |
| option description was "-B::", not "-B branch::", making the |
| documentation misleading. |
| |
| * Git ships with a fall-back regexp implementation for platforms with |
| buggy regexp library, but it was easy for people to keep using their |
| platform regexp. A new test has been added to check this. |
| |
| * "git apply -p0" did not parse pathnames on "diff --git" line |
| correctly. This caused patches that had pathnames in no other |
| places to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that |
| does not rename nor change mode). Textual patches, renames or mode |
| changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different places |
| in a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer from |
| this problem. |
| |
| * After "gitk" showed the contents of a tag, neither "Reread |
| references" nor "Reload" did not update what is shown as the |
| contents of it, when the user overwrote the tag with "git tag -f". |
| |
| * "git for-each-ref" did not correctly support more than one --sort |
| option. |
| |
| * "git log .." errored out saying it is both rev range and a path |
| when there is no disambiguating "--" is on the command line. |
| Update the command line parser to interpret ".." as a path in such |
| a case. |
| |
| * Pushing to smart HTTP server with recent Git fails without having |
| the username in the URL to force authentication, if the server is |
| configured to allow GET anonymously, while requiring authentication |
| for POST. |
| |
| * "git show --format='%ci'" did not give timestamp correctly for |
| commits created without human readable name on "committer" line. |
| (merge e27ddb6 jc/maint-ident-missing-human-name later to maint). |
| |
| * "git show --quiet" ought to be a synonym for "git show -s", but |
| wasn't. |
