Git v1.7.1.1 Release Notes |
|
========================== |
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.1 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
* Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the |
|
request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and |
|
then the client will ask for the username to use. |
|
|
|
* We used to mistakenly think "../work" is a subdirectory of the current |
|
directory when we are in "../work-xyz". |
|
|
|
* The attribute mechanism now allows an entry that uses an attribute |
|
macro that set/unset one attribute, immediately followed by an |
|
overriding setting; this makes attribute macros much easier to use. |
|
|
|
* We didn't recognize timezone "Z" as a synonym for "UTC" (75b37e70). |
|
|
|
* In 1.7.0, read-tree and user commands that use the mechanism such as |
|
checkout and merge were fixed to handle switching between branches one |
|
of which has a file while the other has a directory at the same path |
|
correctly even when there are some "confusing" pathnames in them. But |
|
the algorithm used for this fix was suboptimal and had a terrible |
|
performance degradation especially in larger trees. |
|
|
|
* "git am -3" did not show diagnosis when the patch in the message was corrupt. |
|
|
|
* After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an |
|
patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend |
|
on the presence of such blank lines. |
|
|
|
* "git bundle --stdin" segfaulted. |
|
|
|
* "git checkout" and "git rebase" overwrote paths that are marked "assume |
|
unchanged". |
|
|
|
* "git commit --amend" on a commit with an invalid author-name line that |
|
lacks the display name didn't work. |
|
|
|
* "git describe" did not tie-break tags that point at the same commit |
|
correctly; newer ones are preferred by paying attention to the |
|
tagger date now. |
|
|
|
* "git diff" used to tell underlying xdiff machinery to work very hard to |
|
minimize the output, but this often was spending too many extra cycles |
|
for very little gain. |
|
|
|
* "git diff --color" did not paint extended diff headers per line |
|
(i.e. the coloring escape sequence didn't end at the end of line), |
|
which confused "less -R". |
|
|
|
* "git fetch" over HTTP verifies the downloaded packfiles more robustly. |
|
|
|
* The memory usage by "git index-pack" (run during "git fetch" and "git |
|
push") got leaner. |
|
|
|
* "GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git" created foo.git instead of bar.git. |
|
|
|
* "git log --abbrev=$num --format='%h' ignored --abbrev=$num. |
|
|
|
* "git ls-files ../out/side/cwd" refused to work. |
|
|
|
* "git merge --log" used to replace the custom message given by "-m" with |
|
the shortlog, instead of appending to it. |
|
|
|
* "git notes copy" without any other argument segfaulted. |
|
|
|
* "git pull" accepted "--dry-run", gave it to underlying "git fetch" but |
|
ignored the option itself, resulting in a bogus attempt to merge |
|
unrelated commit. |
|
|
|
* "git rebase" did not faithfully reproduce a malformed author ident, that |
|
is often seen in a repository converted from foreign SCMs. |
|
|
|
* "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in |
|
a nonstandard location is in use got confused. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" lacked a way to specify the domainname used in the |
|
EHLO/HELO exchange, causing rejected connection from picky servers. |
|
It learned --smtp-domain option to solve this issue. |
|
|
|
* "git send-email" did not declare a content-transfer-encoding and |
|
content-type even when its payload needs to be sent in 8-bit. |
|
|
|
* "git show -C -C" and other corner cases lost diff metainfo output |
|
in 1.7.0. |
|
|
|
* "git stash" incorrectly lost paths in the working tree that were |
|
previously removed from the index. |
|
|
|
* "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake in 1.7.1. |
|
|
|
* "git status" showed excess "hints" even when advice.statusHints is set to false. |
|
|
|
And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
