   1 Git v1.8.2.2 Release Notes
   2 ==========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.8.2.1
   5 --------------------
   6
   7  * Zsh completion forgot that '%' character used to signal untracked
   8    files needs to be escaped with another '%'.
   9
  10  * A commit object whose author or committer ident are malformed
  11    crashed some code that trusted that a name, an email and an
  12    timestamp can always be found in it.
  13
  14  * The new core.commentchar configuration was not applied to a few
  15    places.
  16
  17  * "git pull --rebase" did not pass "-v/-q" options to underlying
  18    "git rebase".
  19
  20  * When receive-pack detects error in the pack header it received in
  21    order to decide which of unpack-objects or index-pack to run, it
  22    returned without closing the error stream, which led to a hang
  23    sideband thread.
  24
  25  * "git diff --diff-algorithm=algo" was understood by the command line
  26    parser, but "git diff --diff-algorithm algo" was not.
  27
  28  * "git log -S/-G" started paying attention to textconv filter, but
  29    there was no way to disable this.  Make it honor --no-textconv
  30    option.
  31
  32  * "git merge $(git rev-parse v1.8.2)" behaved quite differently from
  33    "git merge v1.8.2", as if v1.8.2 were written as v1.8.2^0 and did
  34    not pay much attention to the annotated tag payload.  Make the code
  35    notice the type of the tag object, in addition to the dwim_ref()
  36    based classification the current code uses (i.e. the name appears
  37    in refs/tags/) to decide when to special case merging of tags.
  38
  39  * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can take more than one commit
  40    on the command line these days, but it was not mentioned on the usage
  41    text.
  42
  43  * Perl scripts like "git-svn" closed (not redirecting to /dev/null)
  44    the standard error stream, which is not a very smart thing to do.
  45    Later open may return file descriptor #2 for unrelated purpose, and
  46    error reporting code may write into them.
  47
  48  * "git apply --whitespace=fix" was not prepared to see a line getting
  49    longer after fixing whitespaces (e.g. tab-in-indent aka Python).
  50
  51  * "git diff/log --cc" did not work well with options that ignore
  52    whitespace changes.
  53
  54  * Documentation on setting up a http server that requires
  55    authentication only on the push but not fetch has been clarified.
  56
  57  * A few bugfixes to "git rerere" working on corner case merge
  58    conflicts have been applied.
  59
  60  * "git bundle" did not like a bundle created using a commit without
  61    any message as its one of the prerequisites.
