Git v1.8.2.1 Release Notes
==========================
Fixes since v1.8.2
------------------
* "git submodule update", when recursed into sub-submodules, did not
acccumulate the prefix paths.
* "git am $maildir/" applied messages in an unexpected order; sort
filenames read from the maildir/ in a way that is more likely to
sort messages in the order the writing MUA meant to, by sorting
numeric segment in numeric order and non-numeric segment in
alphabetical order.
* When export-subst is used, "zip" output recorded incorrect
size of the file.
* Some platforms and users spell UTF-8 differently; retry with the
most official "UTF-8" when the system does not understand the
user-supplied encoding name that are the common alternative
spellings of UTF-8.
* "git branch" did not bother to check nonsense command line
parameters and issue errors in many cases.
* "git update-index -h" did not do the usual "-h(elp)" thing.
* perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it
out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do.
* The SSL peer verification done by "git imap-send" did not ask for
Server Name Indication (RFC 4366), failing to connect SSL/TLS
sites that serve multiple hostnames on a single IP.
* "git index-pack" had a buffer-overflow while preparing an
informational message when the translated version of it was too
long.
* Clarify in the documentation "what" gets pushed to "where" when the
command line to "git push" does not say these explicitly.
* In "git reflog expire", REACHABLE bit was not cleared from the
correct objects.
* The "--color=<when>" argument to the commands in the diff family
was described poorly.
* The arguments given to pre-rebase hook were not documented.
* The v4 index format was not documented.
* The "--match=<pattern>" argument "git describe" takes uses glob
pattern but it wasn't obvious from the documentation.
* Some sources failed to compile on systems that lack NI_MAXHOST in
their system header (e.g. z/OS).
* Add an example use of "--env-filter" in "filter-branch"
documentation.
* "git bundle verify" did not say "records a complete history" for a
bundle that does not have any prerequisites.
* In the v1.8.0 era, we changed symbols that do not have to be global
to file scope static, but a few functions in graph.c were used by
CGit from sideways bypassing the entry points of the API the
in-tree users use.
* "git merge-tree" had a typo in the logic to detect d/f conflicts,
which caused it to segfault in some cases.
