   1 Git v1.7.11.7 Release Notes
   2 ===========================
   3
   4 Fixes since v1.7.11.6
   5 ---------------------
   6
   7  * The synopsis said "checkout [-B branch]" to make it clear the
   8    branch name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the
   9    option description was "-B::", not "-B branch::", making the
  10    documentation misleading.
  11
  12  * Git ships with a fall-back regexp implementation for platforms with
  13    buggy regexp library, but it was easy for people to keep using their
  14    platform regexp.  A new test has been added to check this.
  15
  16  * "git apply -p0" did not parse pathnames on "diff --git" line
  17    correctly.  This caused patches that had pathnames in no other
  18    places to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that
  19    does not rename nor change mode).  Textual patches, renames or mode
  20    changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different places
  21    in a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer from
  22    this problem.
  23
  24  * After "gitk" showed the contents of a tag, neither "Reread
  25    references" nor "Reload" did not update what is shown as the
  26    contents of it, when the user overwrote the tag with "git tag -f".
  27
  28  * "git for-each-ref" did not correctly support more than one --sort
  29    option.
  30
  31  * "git log .." errored out saying it is both rev range and a path
  32    when there is no disambiguating "--" is on the command line.
  33    Update the command line parser to interpret ".." as a path in such
  34    a case.
  35
  36  * Pushing to smart HTTP server with recent Git fails without having
  37    the username in the URL to force authentication, if the server is
  38    configured to allow GET anonymously, while requiring authentication
  39    for POST.
  40
  41  * "git show --format='%ci'" did not give timestamp correctly for
  42    commits created without human readable name on "committer" line.
  43    (merge e27ddb6 jc/maint-ident-missing-human-name later to maint).
  44
  45  * "git show --quiet" ought to be a synonym for "git show -s", but
  46    wasn't.
