1 Git 1.8.1.6 Release Notes
2 =========================
7 * An earlier change to the attribute system introduced at v1.8.1.2 by
8 mistake stopped a pattern "dir" (without trailing slash) from
9 matching a directory "dir" (it only wanted to allow pattern "dir/"
12 * The code to keep track of what directory names are known to Git on
13 platforms with case insensitive filesystems can get confused upon a
14 hash collision between these pathnames and looped forever.
16 * When the "--prefix" option is used to "checkout-index", the code
17 did not pick the correct output filter based on the attribute
20 * Annotated tags outside refs/tags/ hierarchy were not advertised
21 correctly to the ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git.
23 * The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of
24 files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the
25 common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped.
27 * "git update-index -h" did not do the usual "-h(elp)" thing.
29 * perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it
30 out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do.
32 * The SSL peer verification done by "git imap-send" did not ask for
33 Server Name Indication (RFC 4366), failing to connect SSL/TLS
34 sites that serve multiple hostnames on a single IP.
36 * "git bundle verify" did not say "records a complete history" for a
37 bundle that does not have any prerequisites.
39 Also contains various documentation fixes.
