1 | Git v1.7.1.1 Release Notes |
2 | ========================== | |
45a0ee11 JH |
3 | |
4 | Fixes since v1.7.1 | |
5 | ------------------ | |
6 | ||
7 | * Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the | |
8 | request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and | |
9 | then the client will ask for the username to use. | |
10 | ||
11 | * We used to mistakenly think "../work" is a subdirectory of the current | |
12 | directory when we are in "../work-xyz". | |
13 | ||
14 | * The attribute mechanism now allows an entry that uses an attribute | |
15 | macro that set/unset one attribute, immediately followed by an | |
16 | overriding setting; this makes attribute macros much easier to use. | |
17 | ||
99329771 JH |
18 | * We didn't recognize timezone "Z" as a synonym for "UTC" (75b37e70). |
19 | ||
edac1883 JH |
20 | * In 1.7.0, read-tree and user commands that use the mechanism such as |
21 | checkout and merge were fixed to handle switching between branches one | |
22 | of which has a file while the other has a directory at the same path | |
23 | correctly even when there are some "confusing" pathnames in them. But | |
24 | the algorithm used for this fix was suboptimal and had a terrible | |
25 | performance degradation especially in larger trees. | |
26 | ||
45a0ee11 JH |
27 | * "git am -3" did not show diagnosis when the patch in the message was corrupt. |
28 | ||
99329771 JH |
29 | * After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an |
30 | patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend | |
a1463920 | 31 | on the presence of such blank lines. |
99329771 | 32 | |
45a0ee11 JH |
33 | * "git bundle --stdin" segfaulted. |
34 | ||
99329771 JH |
35 | * "git checkout" and "git rebase" overwrote paths that are marked "assume |
36 | unchanged". | |
37 | ||
a4c24549 JH |
38 | * "git commit --amend" on a commit with an invalid author-name line that |
39 | lacks the display name didn't work. | |
40 | ||
45a0ee11 JH |
41 | * "git describe" did not tie-break tags that point at the same commit |
42 | correctly; newer ones are preferred by paying attention to the | |
43 | tagger date now. | |
44 | ||
99329771 JH |
45 | * "git diff" used to tell underlying xdiff machinery to work very hard to |
46 | minimize the output, but this often was spending too many extra cycles | |
47 | for very little gain. | |
48 | ||
49 | * "git diff --color" did not paint extended diff headers per line | |
50 | (i.e. the coloring escape sequence didn't end at the end of line), | |
51 | which confused "less -R". | |
52 | ||
45a0ee11 JH |
53 | * "git fetch" over HTTP verifies the downloaded packfiles more robustly. |
54 | ||
55 | * The memory usage by "git index-pack" (run during "git fetch" and "git | |
56 | push") got leaner. | |
57 | ||
58 | * "GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git" created foo.git instead of bar.git. | |
59 | ||
60 | * "git log --abbrev=$num --format='%h' ignored --abbrev=$num. | |
61 | ||
a4c24549 JH |
62 | * "git ls-files ../out/side/cwd" refused to work. |
63 | ||
64 | * "git merge --log" used to replace the custom message given by "-m" with | |
65 | the shortlog, instead of appending to it. | |
66 | ||
edac1883 JH |
67 | * "git notes copy" without any other argument segfaulted. |
68 | ||
99329771 JH |
69 | * "git pull" accepted "--dry-run", gave it to underlying "git fetch" but |
70 | ignored the option itself, resulting in a bogus attempt to merge | |
71 | unrelated commit. | |
72 | ||
edac1883 JH |
73 | * "git rebase" did not faithfully reproduce a malformed author ident, that |
74 | is often seen in a repository converted from foreign SCMs. | |
75 | ||
a4c24549 JH |
76 | * "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in |
77 | a nonstandard location is in use got confused. | |
78 | ||
45a0ee11 JH |
79 | * "git send-email" lacked a way to specify the domainname used in the |
80 | EHLO/HELO exchange, causing rejected connection from picky servers. | |
81 | It learned --smtp-domain option to solve this issue. | |
82 | ||
edac1883 JH |
83 | * "git send-email" did not declare a content-transfer-encoding and |
84 | content-type even when its payload needs to be sent in 8-bit. | |
85 | ||
a4c24549 JH |
86 | * "git show -C -C" and other corner cases lost diff metainfo output |
87 | in 1.7.0. | |
88 | ||
45a0ee11 JH |
89 | * "git stash" incorrectly lost paths in the working tree that were |
90 | previously removed from the index. | |
91 | ||
92 | * "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake in 1.7.1. | |
93 | ||
94 | * "git status" showed excess "hints" even when advice.statusHints is set to false. | |
95 | ||
96 | And other minor fixes and documentation updates. |
