| Git v2.3.1 Release Notes |
| ======================== |
| |
| Fixes since v2.3 |
| ---------------- |
| |
| * The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it" |
| interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when |
| the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the |
| user could have made was to choose nothing. |
| |
| * "git apply --whitespace=fix" used to under-allocate the memory |
| when the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch. |
| |
| * "git log --help" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant |
| to the "log" command. |
| |
| * The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author |
| name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been |
| reworded to avoid misunderstanding. |
| |
| * A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the |
| dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other |
| side. |
| |
| * The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the |
| only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in |
| the --raw format. |
| |
| * Fix a misspelled conditional that is always true. |
| |
| * Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory |
| would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file. |
| |
| * The "git push" documentation made the "--repo=<there>" option |
| easily misunderstood. |
| |
| * After attempting and failing a password-less authentication |
| (e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based |
| Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement. |
| |
| * Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce |
| broken patches. |
| |
| * "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did |
| not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree |
| files and failed to do so for whatever reason. |
| |
| * "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it |
| tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD". |
| |
| Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. |
