| 486b65a4 | 1 | Git v1.8.4.3 Release Notes |
| 77d5f715 | 2 | ========================== |

| 4 | Fixes since v1.8.4.2 | |
| 5 | -------------------- | |

7 | * The interaction between use of Perl in our test suite and NO_PERL |
| 8 | has been clarified a bit. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | * A fast-import stream expresses a pathname with funny characters by | |
| 11 | quoting them in C style; remote-hg remote helper (in contrib/) | |
| 12 | forgot to unquote such a path. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | * One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git | |
| 15 | clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch | |
| 16 | "HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess. A new | |
| 17 | capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this | |
| 18 | information so that cloning from a repository with more than one | |
| 19 | branches pointing at the same commit where the HEAD is at now | |
| 20 | reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | * We did not handle cases where http transport gets redirected during | |
| 23 | the authorization request (e.g. from http:// to https://). | |
| 24 | ||

25 | * "git rev-list --objects ^v1.0^ v1.0" gave v1.0 tag itself in the |
| 26 | output, but "git rev-list --objects v1.0^..v1.0" did not. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | * The fall-back parsing of commit objects with broken author or | |
| 29 | committer lines were less robust than ideal in picking up the | |
| 30 | timestamps. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | * Bash prompting code to deal with an SVN remote as an upstream | |
| 33 | were coded in a way not supported by older Bash versions (3.x). | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | * "git checkout topic", when there is not yet a local "topic" branch | |
| 36 | but there is a unique remote-tracking branch for a remote "topic" | |
| 37 | branch, pretended as if "git checkout -t -b topic remote/$r/topic" | |
| 38 | (for that unique remote $r) was run. This hack however was not | |
| 39 | implemented for "git checkout topic --". | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | * Coloring around octopus merges in "log --graph" output was screwy. | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | * We did not generate HTML version of documentation to "git subtree" | |
| 44 | in contrib/. | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | * The synopsis section of "git unpack-objects" documentation has been | |
| 47 | clarified a bit. | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | * An ancient How-To on serving Git repositories on an HTTP server | |
| 50 | lacked a warning that it has been mostly superseded with more | |
| 51 | modern way. | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation | |
| 54 | updates, updates to the test suite, etc. |
