Git v1.8.4.3 Release Notes
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.8.4.2
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* The interaction between use of Perl in our test suite and NO_PERL
|
|
has been clarified a bit.
|
|
|
|
* A fast-import stream expresses a pathname with funny characters by
|
|
quoting them in C style; remote-hg remote helper (in contrib/)
|
|
forgot to unquote such a path.
|
|
|
|
* One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git
|
|
clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch
|
|
"HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess. A new
|
|
capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this
|
|
information so that cloning from a repository with more than one
|
|
branches pointing at the same commit where the HEAD is at now
|
|
reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository.
|
|
|
|
* We did not handle cases where http transport gets redirected during
|
|
the authorization request (e.g. from http:// to https://).
|
|
|
|
* "git rev-list --objects ^v1.0^ v1.0" gave v1.0 tag itself in the
|
|
output, but "git rev-list --objects v1.0^..v1.0" did not.
|
|
|
|
* The fall-back parsing of commit objects with broken author or
|
|
committer lines were less robust than ideal in picking up the
|
|
timestamps.
|
|
|
|
* Bash prompting code to deal with an SVN remote as an upstream
|
|
were coded in a way not supported by older Bash versions (3.x).
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout topic", when there is not yet a local "topic" branch
|
|
but there is a unique remote-tracking branch for a remote "topic"
|
|
branch, pretended as if "git checkout -t -b topic remote/$r/topic"
|
|
(for that unique remote $r) was run. This hack however was not
|
|
implemented for "git checkout topic --".
|
|
|
|
* Coloring around octopus merges in "log --graph" output was screwy.
|
|
|
|
* We did not generate HTML version of documentation to "git subtree"
|
|
in contrib/.
|
|
|
|
* The synopsis section of "git unpack-objects" documentation has been
|
|
clarified a bit.
|
|
|
|
* An ancient How-To on serving Git repositories on an HTTP server
|
|
lacked a warning that it has been mostly superseded with more
|
|
modern way.
|
|
|
|
Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation
|
|
updates, updates to the test suite, etc.
