| 1 | Git 1.8.1.3 Release Notes
|
|---|
| 2 | =========================
|
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 | Fixes since v1.8.1.2
|
|---|
| 5 | --------------------
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | * The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be
|
|---|
| 8 | applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the
|
|---|
| 9 | exclude mechanism does. The fix for this in 1.8.1.2 had
|
|---|
| 10 | performance degradations.
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | * Command line completion code was inadvertently made incompatible with
|
|---|
| 13 | older versions of bash by using a newer array notation.
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | * Scripts to test bash completion was inherently flaky as it was
|
|---|
| 16 | affected by whatever random things the user may have on $PATH.
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | * A fix was added to the build procedure to work around buggy
|
|---|
| 19 | versions of ccache broke the auto-generation of dependencies, which
|
|---|
| 20 | unfortunately is still relevant because some people use ancient
|
|---|
| 21 | distros.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | * We used to stuff "user@" and then append what we read from
|
|---|
| 24 | /etc/mailname to come up with a default e-mail ident, but a bug
|
|---|
| 25 | lost the "user@" part.
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | * "git am" did not parse datestamp correctly from Hg generated patch,
|
|---|
| 28 | when it is run in a locale outside C (or en).
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | * Attempt to "branch --edit-description" an existing branch, while
|
|---|
| 31 | being on a detached HEAD, errored out.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | * "git cherry-pick" did not replay a root commit to an unborn branch.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | * We forgot to close the file descriptor reading from "gpg" output,
|
|---|
| 36 | killing "git log --show-signature" on a long history.
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | * "git rebase --preserve-merges" lost empty merges in recent versions
|
|---|
| 39 | of Git.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | * Rebasing the history of superproject with change in the submodule
|
|---|
| 42 | has been broken since v1.7.12.
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | * A failure to push due to non-ff while on an unborn branch
|
|---|
| 45 | dereferenced a NULL pointer when showing an error message.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | Also contains various documentation fixes.
