1 | Git 1.8.1.3 Release Notes |
2 | ========================= | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v1.8.1.2 | |
5 | -------------------- | |
6 | ||
7 | * The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be | |
8 | applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the | |
9 | exclude mechanism does. The fix for this in 1.8.1.2 had | |
10 | performance degradations. | |
11 | ||
12 | * Command line completion code was inadvertently made incompatible with | |
13 | older versions of bash by using a newer array notation. | |
14 | ||
f3500825 JH |
15 | * Scripts to test bash completion was inherently flaky as it was |
16 | affected by whatever random things the user may have on $PATH. | |
17 | ||
18 | * A fix was added to the build procedure to work around buggy | |
19 | versions of ccache broke the auto-generation of dependencies, which | |
20 | unfortunately is still relevant because some people use ancient | |
21 | distros. | |
22 | ||
42f50f8d JH |
23 | * We used to stuff "user@" and then append what we read from |
24 | /etc/mailname to come up with a default e-mail ident, but a bug | |
25 | lost the "user@" part. | |
26 | ||
27 | * "git am" did not parse datestamp correctly from Hg generated patch, | |
28 | when it is run in a locale outside C (or en). | |
29 | ||
30 | * Attempt to "branch --edit-description" an existing branch, while | |
31 | being on a detached HEAD, errored out. | |
32 | ||
f3500825 JH |
33 | * "git cherry-pick" did not replay a root commit to an unborn branch. |
34 | ||
35 | * We forgot to close the file descriptor reading from "gpg" output, | |
36 | killing "git log --show-signature" on a long history. | |
37 | ||
42f50f8d JH |
38 | * "git rebase --preserve-merges" lost empty merges in recent versions |
39 | of Git. | |
40 | ||
f3500825 JH |
41 | * Rebasing the history of superproject with change in the submodule |
42 | has been broken since v1.7.12. | |
43 | ||
44 | * A failure to push due to non-ff while on an unborn branch | |
45 | dereferenced a NULL pointer when showing an error message. | |
46 | ||
42f50f8d | 47 | Also contains various documentation fixes. |
