Git v1.8.4.1 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.8.4
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* Some people still use rather old versions of bash, which cannot
|
|
grok some constructs like 'printf -v varname' the prompt and
|
|
completion code started to use recently. The completion and
|
|
prompt scripts have been adjusted to work better with these old
|
|
versions of bash.
|
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" had a minor bug (the same could be in other
|
|
programs, as the root cause is pretty generic) where the code
|
|
feeds a random, data dependeant string to 'echo' and expects it
|
|
to come out literally.
|
|
|
|
* "submodule.<name>.path" variable mistakenly set to the empty
|
|
"true" caused the configuration parser to segfault.
|
|
|
|
* Output from "git log --full-diff -- <pathspec>" looked strange,
|
|
because comparison was done with the previous ancestor that
|
|
touched the specified <pathspec>, causing the patches for paths
|
|
outside the pathspec to show more than the single commit has
|
|
changed.
|
|
|
|
* The auto-tag-following code in "git fetch" tries to reuse the
|
|
same transport twice when the serving end does not cooperate and
|
|
does not give tags that point to commits that are asked for as
|
|
part of the primary transfer. Unfortunately, Git-aware transport
|
|
helper interface is not designed to be used more than once, hence
|
|
this did not work over smart-http transfer. Fixed.
|
|
|
|
* Send a large request to read(2)/write(2) as a smaller but still
|
|
reasonably large chunks, which would improve the latency when the
|
|
operation needs to be killed and incidentally works around broken
|
|
64-bit systems that cannot take a 2GB write or read in one go.
|
|
|
|
* A ".mailmap" file that ends with an incomplete line, when read
|
|
from a blob, was not handled properly.
|
|
|
|
* The recent "short-cut clone connectivity check" topic broke a
|
|
shallow repository when a fetch operation tries to auto-follow
|
|
tags.
|
|
|
|
* On platforms with fgetc() and friends defined as macros,
|
|
the configuration parser did not compile.
|
|
|
|
Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation
|
|
updates, updates to the test suite, etc.
