   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.7.9.2
   5 --------------------
   6
   7  * "git p4" (in contrib/) submit the changes to a wrong place when the
   8    "--use-client-spec" option is set.
   9
  10  * The config.mak.autogen generated by optional autoconf support tried
  11    to link the binary with -lintl even when libintl.h is missing from
  12    the system.
  13
  14  * When the filter driver exits before reading the content before the
  15    main git process writes the contents to be filtered to the pipe to
  16    it, the latter could be killed with SIGPIPE instead of ignoring
  17    such an event as an error.
  18
  19  * "git add --refresh <pathspec>" used to warn about unmerged paths
  20    outside the given pathspec.
  21
  22  * The bulk check-in codepath in "git add" streamed contents that
  23    needs smudge/clean filters without running them, instead of punting
  24    and delegating to the codepath to run filters after slurping
  25    everything to core.
  26
  27  * "git branch --with $that" assumed incorrectly that the user will never
  28    ask the question with nonsense value in $that.
  29
  30  * "git bundle create" produced a corrupt bundle file upon seeing
  31    commits with excessively long subject line.
  32
  33  * When a remote helper exits before reading the blank line from the
  34    main git process to signal the end of commands, the latter could be
  35    killed with SIGPIPE. Instead we should ignore such event as a
  36    non-error.
  37
  38  * The commit log template given with "git merge --edit" did not have
  39    a short instructive text like what "git commit" gives.
  40
  41  * "git rev-list --verify-objects -q" omitted the extra verification
  42    it needs to do over "git rev-list --objects -q" by mistake.
  43
  44  * "gitweb" used to drop warnings in the log file when "heads" view is
  45    accessed in a repository whose HEAD does not point at a valid
  46    branch.
  47
  48  * An invalid regular expression pattern given by an end user made
  49    "gitweb" to return garbled response.
