| 1 | Git v1.9.2 Release Notes
|

|

|
|---|
| 4 | Fixes since v1.9.1
|
|---|
| 5 | ------------------
|
|---|
| 6 |
|
|---|
| 7 | * Documentation and in-code comments had many instances of mistaken
|
|---|
| 8 | use of "nor", which have been corrected.
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | * "git fetch --prune", when the right-hand-side of multiple fetch
|
|---|
| 11 | refspecs overlap (e.g. storing "refs/heads/*" to
|
|---|
| 12 | "refs/remotes/origin/*", while storing "refs/frotz/*" to
|
|---|
| 13 | "refs/remotes/origin/fr/*"), aggressively thought that lack of
|
|---|
| 14 | "refs/heads/fr/otz" on the origin site meant we should remove
|
|---|
| 15 | "refs/remotes/origin/fr/otz" from us, without checking their
|
|---|
| 16 | "refs/frotz/otz" first.
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | Note that such a configuration is inherently unsafe (think what
|
|---|
| 19 | should happen when "refs/heads/fr/otz" does appear on the origin
|
|---|
| 20 | site), but that is not a reason not to be extra careful.
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | * "git update-ref --stdin" did not fail a request to create a ref
|
|---|
| 23 | when the ref already existed.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | * "git diff --no-index -Mq a b" fell into an infinite loop.
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | * When it is not necessary to edit a commit log message (e.g. "git
|
|---|
| 28 | commit -m" is given a message without specifying "-e"), we used to
|
|---|
| 29 | disable the spawning of the editor by overriding GIT_EDITOR, but
|
|---|
| 30 | this means all the uses of the editor, other than to edit the
|
|---|
| 31 | commit log message, are also affected.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | * "git status --porcelain --branch" showed its output with labels
|
|---|
| 34 | "ahead/behind/gone" translated to the user's locale.
|
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 | * "git mv" that moves a submodule forgot to adjust the array that
|
|---|
| 37 | uses to keep track of which submodules were to be moved to update
|
|---|
| 38 | its configuration.
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | * Length limit for the pathname used when removing a path in a deep
|
|---|
| 41 | subdirectory has been removed to avoid buffer overflows.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | * The test helper lib-terminal always run an actual test_expect_*
|
|---|
| 44 | when included, which screwed up with the use of skil-all that may
|
|---|
| 45 | have to be done later.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | * "git index-pack" used a wrong variable to name the keep-file in an
|
|---|
| 48 | error message when the file cannot be written or closed.
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | * "rebase -i" produced a broken insn sheet when the title of a commit
|
|---|
| 51 | happened to contain '\n' (or ended with '\c') due to a careless use
|
|---|
| 52 | of 'echo'.
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | * There were a few instances of 'git-foo' remaining in the
|
|---|
| 55 | documentation that should have been spelled 'git foo'.
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | * Serving objects from a shallow repository needs to write a
|
|---|
| 58 | new file to hold the temporary shallow boundaries but it was not
|
|---|
| 59 | cleaned when we exit due to die() or a signal.
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 | * When "git stash pop" stops after failing to apply the stash
|
|---|
| 62 | (e.g. due to conflicting changes), the stash is not dropped. State
|
|---|
| 63 | that explicitly in the output to let the users know.
|
|---|
| 64 |
|
|---|
| 65 | * The labels in "git status" output that describe the nature of
|
|---|
| 66 | conflicts (e.g. "both deleted") were limited to 20 bytes, which was
|
|---|
| 67 | too short for some l10n (e.g. fr).
|
