   1 Git v2.3.1 Release Notes
   2 ========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v2.3
   5 ----------------
   6
   7  * The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it"
   8    interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when
   9    the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the
  10    user could have made was to choose nothing.
  11
  12  * "git apply --whitespace=fix" used to under-allocate the memory
  13    when the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch.
  14
  15  * "git log --help" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant
  16    to the "log" command.
  17
  18  * The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author
  19    name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been
  20    reworded to avoid misunderstanding.
  21
  22  * A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the
  23    dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other
  24    side.
  25
  26  * The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the
  27    only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in
  28    the --raw format.
  29
  30  * Fix a misspelled conditional that is always true.
  31
  32  * Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory
  33    would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file.
  34
  35  * The "git push" documentation made the "--repo=<there>" option
  36    easily misunderstood.
  37
  38  * After attempting and failing a password-less authentication
  39    (e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based
  40    Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement.
  41
  42  * Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce
  43    broken patches.
  44
  45  * "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
  46    not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
  47    files and failed to do so for whatever reason.
  48
  49  * "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it
  50    tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD".
  51
  52 Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
