* Sometimes users want to report a bug they experience on their
|
||||||
|
repository, but they are not at liberty to share the contents of
|
||||||
|
the repository. "fast-export" was taught an "--anonymize" option
|
||||||
|
to replace blob contents, names of people and paths and log
|
||||||
|
messages with bland and simple strings to help them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* "log --date=iso" uses a slight variant of ISO 8601 format that is
|
||||||
|
made more human readable. A new "--date=iso-strict" option gives
|
||||||
|
datetime output that is more strictly conformant.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* A broken reimplementation of Git could write an invalid index that
|
||||||
|
records both stage #0 and higher stage entries for the same path.
|
||||||
|
We now notice and reject such an index, as there is no sensible
|
||||||
|
fallback (we do not know if the broken tool wanted to resolve and
|
||||||
|
forgot to remove higher stage entries, or if it wanted to unresolve
|
||||||
|
and forgot to remove the stage#0 entry).
