Git v1.8.4.1 Release Notes |
|
========================== |
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.8.4 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
* Some old versions of bash do not grok some constructs like |
|
'printf -v varname' which 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. |
|
|
|
* In FreeBSD's and NetBSD's "sh", a return in a dot script in a |
|
function returns from the function, not only in the dot script, |
|
breaking "git rebase" on these platforms (regression introduced |
|
in 1.8.4-rc1). |
|
|
|
* "git rebase -i" and other scripted commands were feeding a |
|
random, data dependent error message to 'echo' and expecting it |
|
to come out literally. |
|
|
|
* Setting the "submodule.<name>.path" variable 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. |
|
|
|
* When send-email comes up with an error message to die with upon |
|
failure to start an SSL session, it tried to read the error |
|
string from a wrong place. |
|
|
|
* A call to xread() was used without a loop to cope with short |
|
read in the codepath to stream large blobs to a pack. |
|
|
|
* On platforms with fgetc() and friends defined as macros, the |
|
configuration parser did not compile. |
|
|
|
* New versions of MediaWiki introduced a new API for returning |
|
more than 500 results in response to a query, which would cause |
|
the MediaWiki remote helper to go into an infinite loop. |
|
|
|
* Subversion's serf access method (the only one available in |
|
Subversion 1.8) for http and https URLs in skelta mode tells its |
|
caller to open multiple files at a time, which made "git svn |
|
fetch" complain that "Temp file with moniker 'svn_delta' already |
|
in use" instead of fetching. |
|
|
|
|
|
Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation |
|
updates, updates to the test suite, etc.
