1 | Git 1.8.1.5 Release Notes |
2 | ========================= | |

8d44277d | 4 | Fixes since v1.8.1.4 |

5 | -------------------- |

7 | * Given a string with a multi-byte character that begins with '-' on |
8 | the command line where an option is expected, the option parser | |
9 | used just one byte of the unknown letter when reporting an error. | |

11 | * In v1.8.1, the attribute parser was tightened too restrictive to |
12 | error out upon seeing an entry that begins with an ! (exclamation), | |
13 | which may confuse users to expect a "negative match", which does | |
14 | not exist. This has been demoted to a warning; such an entry is | |
15 | still ignored. | |
16 | ||

17 | * "git apply --summary" has been taught to make sure the similarity |
18 | value shown in its output is sensible, even when the input had a | |
19 | bogus value. | |
20 | ||
21 | * "git clean" showed what it was going to do, but sometimes ended | |
22 | up finding that it was not allowed to do so, which resulted in a | |
23 | confusing output (e.g. after saying that it will remove an | |
24 | untracked directory, it found an embedded git repository there | |
25 | which it is not allowed to remove). It now performs the actions | |
26 | and then reports the outcome more faithfully. | |
27 | ||
28 | * "git clone" used to allow --bare and --separate-git-dir=$there | |
29 | options at the same time, which was nonsensical. | |
30 | ||
31 | * "git cvsimport" mishandled timestamps at DST boundary. | |
32 | ||
33 | * We used to have an arbitrary 32 limit for combined diff input, | |
34 | resulting in incorrect number of leading colons shown when showing | |
35 | the "--raw --cc" output. | |
36 | ||
37 | * The smart HTTP clients forgot to verify the content-type that comes | |
38 | back from the server side to make sure that the request is being | |
39 | handled properly. | |
40 | ||
41 | * "git help remote-helpers" failed to find the documentation. | |
42 | ||
43 | * "gitweb" pages served over HTTPS, when configured to show picon or | |
44 | gravatar, referred to these external resources to be fetched via | |
45 | HTTP, resulting in mixed contents warning in browsers. | |
46 | ||
47 | Also contains various documentation fixes. |
