1 | Git v1.7.11.6 Release Notes |
2 | =========================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v1.7.11.5 | |
5 | --------------------- | |
6 | ||
e09e4024 | 7 | * "ciabot" script (in contrib/) has been updated with extensive |
b5218317 JH |
8 | documentation. |
9 | ||
e09e4024 JH |
10 | * "git foo" errored out with "Not a directory" when the user had a |
11 | non-directory on $PATH, and worse yet it masked an alias "foo" from | |
12 | running. | |
b5218317 | 13 | |
e09e4024 JH |
14 | * When the user exports a non-default IFS without HT, scripts that |
15 | rely on being able to parse "ls-files -s | while read a b c..." | |
16 | started to fail. Protect them from such a misconfiguration. | |
b5218317 | 17 | |
e09e4024 JH |
18 | * When the user gives an argument that can be taken as both a |
19 | revision name and a pathname without disambiguating with "--", we | |
20 | used to give a help message "Use '--' to separate". The message | |
21 | has been clarified to show where that '--' goes on the command | |
22 | line. | |
23 | ||
24 | * Documentation for the configuration file format had a confusing | |
25 | example. | |
b5218317 | 26 | |
e09e4024 | 27 | * Older parts of the documentation described as if having a regular |
b5218317 JH |
28 | file in .git/refs/ hierarchy were the only way to have branches and |
29 | tags, which is not true for quite some time. | |
30 | ||
e09e4024 JH |
31 | * It was generally understood that "--long-option"s to many of our |
32 | subcommands can be abbreviated to the unique prefix, but it was not | |
33 | easy to find it described for new readers of the documentation set. | |
b5218317 | 34 | |
e09e4024 JH |
35 | * The "--topo-order", "--date-order" (and the lack of either means |
36 | the default order) options to "rev-list" and "log" family of | |
37 | commands were poorly described in the documentation. | |
b5218317 | 38 | |
e09e4024 | 39 | * "git commit --amend" let the user edit the log message and then |
b5218317 JH |
40 | died when the human-readable committer name was given |
41 | insufficiently by getpwent(3). | |
9a8eea96 | 42 | |
e09e4024 JH |
43 | * The exit status code from "git config" was way overspecified while |
44 | being incorrect. The implementation has been updated to give the | |
45 | documented status for a case that was documented, and introduce a | |
46 | new code for "all other errors". | |
9a8eea96 | 47 | |
e09e4024 JH |
48 | * The output from "git diff -B" for a file that ends with an |
49 | incomplete line did not put "\ No newline..." on a line of its own. | |
50 | ||
51 | * "git diff" had a confusion between taking data from a path in the | |
52 | working tree and taking data from an object that happens to have | |
53 | name 0{40} recorded in a tree. | |
9a8eea96 | 54 | |
e09e4024 JH |
55 | * The "--rebase" option to "git pull" can be abbreviated to "-r", |
56 | but we didn't document it. | |
57 | ||
58 | * When "git push" triggered the automatic gc on the receiving end, a | |
9a8eea96 JH |
59 | message from "git prune" that said it was removing cruft leaked to |
60 | the standard output, breaking the communication protocol. | |
61 | ||
e09e4024 JH |
62 | * The reflog entries left by "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" were |
63 | inconsistent (the interactive one gave an abbreviated object name). | |
9a8eea96 | 64 | |
e09e4024 | 65 | * "git send-email" did not unquote encoded words that appear on the |
9a8eea96 JH |
66 | header correctly, and lost "_" from strings. |
67 | ||
e09e4024 JH |
68 | * "git stash apply/pop" did not trigger "rerere" upon conflicts |
69 | unlike other mergy operations. | |
70 | ||
71 | * "git submodule <cmd> path" did not error out when the path to the | |
72 | submodule was misspelt. | |
9a8eea96 | 73 | |
e09e4024 JH |
74 | * "git submodule update -f" did not update paths in the working tree |
75 | that has local changes. | |
76 | (merge 01d4721 sz/submodule-force-update later to maint). | |
77 | ||
78 | * "gitweb" when used with PATH_INFO failed to notice directories with | |
9a8eea96 | 79 | SP (and other characters that need URL-style quoting) in them. |
e09e4024 JH |
80 | |
81 | * Fallback 'getpass' implementation made unportable use of stdio API. | |
82 | ||
83 | * A utility shell function test_seq has been added as a replacement | |
84 | for the 'seq' utility found on some platforms. |
