| Git v1.7.11.3 Release Notes |
| =========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.11.3 |
| --------------------- |
| |
| * The error message from "git push $there :bogo" (and its equivalent |
| "git push $there --delete bogo") mentioned that we tried and failed |
| to guess what ref is being deleted based on the LHS of the refspec, |
| which we don't. |
| |
| * A handful of files and directories we create had tighter than |
| necessary permission bits when the user wanted to have group |
| writability (e.g. by setting "umask 002"). |
| |
| * "commit --amend" used to refuse amending a commit with an empty log |
| message, with or without "--allow-empty-message". |
| |
| * "git commit --amend --only --" was meant to allow "Clever" people to |
| rewrite the commit message without making any change even when they |
| have already changes for the next commit added to their index, but |
| it never worked as advertised since it was introduced in 1.3.0 era. |
| |
| * Even though the index can record pathnames longer than 1<<12 bytes, |
| in some places we were not comparing them in full, potentially |
| replacing index entries instead of adding. |
| |
| * "git show"'s auto-walking behaviour was an unreliable and |
| unpredictable hack; it now behaves just like "git log" does when it |
| walks. |
| |
| * "git diff", "git status" and anything that internally uses the |
| comparison machinery was utterly broken when the difference |
| involved a file with "-" as its name. This was due to the way "git |
| diff --no-index" was incorrectly bolted on to the system, making |
| any comparison that involves a file "-" at the root level |
| incorrectly read from the standard input. |
| |
| * We did not have test to make sure "git rebase" without extra options |
| filters out an empty commit in the original history. |
| |
| * "git fast-export" produced an input stream for fast-import without |
| properly quoting pathnames when they contain SPs in them. |
| |
| * "git checkout --detach", when you are still on an unborn branch, |
| should be forbidden, but it wasn't. |
| |
| * Some implementations of Perl terminates "lines" with CRLF even when |
| the script is operating on just a sequence of bytes. Make sure to |
| use "$PERL_PATH", the version of Perl the user told Git to use, in |
| our tests to avoid unnecessary breakages in tests. |
| |
| Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates. |
