486b65a4 | 1 | Git v1.8.4.3 Release Notes |
77d5f715 | 2 | ========================== |
486b65a4 JH |
3 | |
4 | Fixes since v1.8.4.2 | |
5 | -------------------- | |
6 | ||

7 | * The interaction between use of Perl in our test suite and NO_PERL |
8 | has been clarified a bit. | |
9 | ||
10 | * A fast-import stream expresses a pathname with funny characters by | |
11 | quoting them in C style; remote-hg remote helper (in contrib/) | |
12 | forgot to unquote such a path. | |
13 | ||
14 | * One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git | |
15 | clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch | |
16 | "HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess. A new | |
17 | capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this | |
18 | information so that cloning from a repository with more than one | |
19 | branches pointing at the same commit where the HEAD is at now | |
20 | reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository. | |
21 | ||
22 | * We did not handle cases where http transport gets redirected during | |
23 | the authorization request (e.g. from http:// to https://). | |
24 | ||

25 | * "git rev-list --objects ^v1.0^ v1.0" gave v1.0 tag itself in the |
26 | output, but "git rev-list --objects v1.0^..v1.0" did not. | |
27 | ||
28 | * The fall-back parsing of commit objects with broken author or | |
29 | committer lines were less robust than ideal in picking up the | |
30 | timestamps. | |
31 | ||
32 | * Bash prompting code to deal with an SVN remote as an upstream | |
33 | were coded in a way not supported by older Bash versions (3.x). | |
34 | ||
35 | * "git checkout topic", when there is not yet a local "topic" branch | |
36 | but there is a unique remote-tracking branch for a remote "topic" | |
37 | branch, pretended as if "git checkout -t -b topic remote/$r/topic" | |
38 | (for that unique remote $r) was run. This hack however was not | |
39 | implemented for "git checkout topic --". | |
40 | ||
41 | * Coloring around octopus merges in "log --graph" output was screwy. | |
42 | ||
43 | * We did not generate HTML version of documentation to "git subtree" | |
44 | in contrib/. | |
45 | ||
46 | * The synopsis section of "git unpack-objects" documentation has been | |
47 | clarified a bit. | |
48 | ||
49 | * An ancient How-To on serving Git repositories on an HTTP server | |
50 | lacked a warning that it has been mostly superseded with more | |
51 | modern way. | |
52 | ||
53 | Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation | |
54 | updates, updates to the test suite, etc. |
