GIT v1.5.2.2 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.5.2.1
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* Usability fix
|
|
|
|
- git-gui is shipped with its updated blame interface. It is
|
|
rumored that the older one was not just unusable but was
|
|
active health hazard, but this one is actually pretty.
|
|
Please see for yourself.
|
|
|
|
* Bugfixes
|
|
|
|
- "git checkout fubar" was utterly confused when there is a
|
|
branch fubar and a tag fubar at the same time. It correctly
|
|
checks out the branch fubar now.
|
|
|
|
- "git clone /path/foo" to clone a local /path/foo.git
|
|
repository left an incorrect configuration.
|
|
|
|
- "git send-email" correctly unquotes RFC 2047 quoted names in
|
|
the patch-email before using their values.
|
|
|
|
- We did not accept number of seconds since epoch older than
|
|
year 2000 as a valid timestamp. We now interpret positive
|
|
integers more than 8 digits as such, which allows us to
|
|
express timestamps more recent than March 1973.
|
|
|
|
- git-cvsimport did not work when you have GIT_DIR to point
|
|
your repository at a nonstandard location.
|
|
|
|
- Some systems (notably, Solaris) lack hstrerror() to make
|
|
h_errno human readable; prepare a replacement
|
|
implementation.
|
|
|
|
- .gitignore file listed git-core.spec but what we generate is
|
|
git.spec, and nobody noticed for a long time.
|
|
|
|
- "git-merge-recursive" does not try to run file level merge
|
|
on binary files.
|
|
|
|
- "git-branch --track" did not create tracking configuration
|
|
correctly when the branch name had slash in it.
|
|
|
|
- The email address of the user specified with user.email
|
|
configuration was overridden by EMAIL environment variable.
|
|
|
|
- The tree parser did not warn about tree entries with
|
|
nonsense file modes, and assumed they must be blobs.
|
|
|
|
- "git log -z" without any other request to generate diff still
|
|
invoked the diff machinery, wasting cycles.
|
|
|
|
* Documentation
|
|
|
|
- Many updates to fix stale or missing documentation.
|
|
|
|
- Although our documentation was primarily meant to be formatted
|
|
with AsciiDoc7, formatting with AsciiDoc8 is supported better.
