1 | Git v1.8.5.4 Release Notes |
2 | ========================== | |
3 | ||
7bbc4e8f | 4 | Fixes since v1.8.5.3 |
3330a2c4 JH |
5 | -------------------- |
6 | ||
7 | * "git fetch --depth=0" was a no-op, and was silently ignored. | |
8 | Diagnose it as an error. | |
9 | ||
10 | * Remote repository URL expressed in scp-style host:path notation are | |
11 | parsed more carefully (e.g. "foo/bar:baz" is local, "[::1]:/~user" asks | |
12 | to connect to user's home directory on host at address ::1. | |
13 | ||
14 | * SSL-related options were not passed correctly to underlying socket | |
15 | layer in "git send-email". | |
16 | ||
17 | * "git commit -v" appends the patch to the log message before | |
18 | editing, and then removes the patch when the editor returned | |
19 | control. However, the patch was not stripped correctly when the | |
20 | first modified path was a submodule. | |
21 | ||
22 | * "git mv A B/", when B does not exist as a directory, should error | |
23 | out, but it didn't. | |
24 | ||
25 | * When we figure out how many file descriptors to allocate for | |
26 | keeping packfiles open, a system with non-working getrlimit() could | |
27 | cause us to die(), but because we make this call only to get a | |
28 | rough estimate of how many is available and we do not even attempt | |
29 | to use up all file descriptors available ourselves, it is nicer to | |
30 | fall back to a reasonable low value rather than dying. | |
31 | ||
32 | * "git log --decorate" did not handle a tag pointed by another tag | |
33 | nicely. | |
34 | ||
35 | * "git add -A" (no other arguments) in a totally empty working tree | |
36 | used to emit an error. | |
37 | ||
38 | * There is no reason to have a hardcoded upper limit of the number of | |
39 | parents for an octopus merge, created via the graft mechanism, but | |
40 | there was. | |
41 | ||
42 | * The implementation of 'git stash $cmd "stash@{...}"' did not quote | |
43 | the stash argument properly and left it split at IFS whitespace. | |
44 | ||
45 | * The documentation to "git pull" hinted there is an "-m" option | |
46 | because it incorrectly shared the documentation with "git merge". | |
47 | ||
48 | Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. |
