Git v1.7.10.2 Release Notes |
|
=========================== |
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.10.1 |
|
--------------------- |
|
|
|
* The test scaffolding for git-daemon was flaky. |
|
|
|
* The test scaffolding for fast-import was flaky. |
|
|
|
* The filesystem boundary was not correctly reported when .git directory |
|
discovery stopped at a mount point. |
|
|
|
* HTTP transport that requires authentication did not work correctly when |
|
multiple connections are used simultaneously. |
|
|
|
* Minor memory leak during unpack_trees (hence "merge" and "checkout" |
|
to check out another branch) has been plugged. |
|
|
|
* In the older days, the header "Conflicts:" in "cherry-pick" and "merge" |
|
was separated by a blank line from the list of paths that follow for |
|
readability, but when "merge" was rewritten in C, we lost it by |
|
mistake. Remove the newline from "cherry-pick" to make them match |
|
again. |
|
|
|
* The command line parser choked "git cherry-pick $name" when $name can |
|
be both revision name and a pathname, even though $name can never be a |
|
path in the context of the command. |
|
|
|
* The "include.path" facility in the configuration mechanism added in |
|
1.7.10 forgot to interpret "~/path" and "~user/path" as it should. |
|
|
|
* "git config --rename-section" to rename an existing section into a |
|
bogus one did not check the new name. |
|
|
|
* The "diff --no-index" codepath used limited-length buffers, risking |
|
pathnames getting truncated. Update it to use the strbuf API. |
|
|
|
* The report from "git fetch" said "new branch" even for a non branch |
|
ref. |
|
|
|
* The http-backend (the server side of the smart http transfer) used |
|
to overwrite GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL with the |
|
value obtained from REMOTE_USER unconditionally, making it |
|
impossible for the server side site-specific customization to use |
|
different identity sources to affect the names logged. It now uses |
|
REMOTE_USER only as a fallback value. |
|
|
|
* "log --graph" was not very friendly with "--stat" option and its |
|
output had line breaks at wrong places. |
|
|
|
* Octopus merge strategy did not reduce heads that are recorded in the |
|
final commit correctly. |
|
|
|
* "git push" over smart-http lost progress output a few releases ago; |
|
this release resurrects it. |
|
|
|
* The error and advice messages given by "git push" when it fails due |
|
to non-ff were not very helpful to new users; it has been broken |
|
into three cases, and each is given a separate advice message. |
|
|
|
* The insn sheet given by "rebase -i" did not make it clear that the |
|
insn lines can be re-ordered to affect the order of the commits in |
|
the resulting history. |
|
|
|
* "git repack" used to write out unreachable objects as loose objects |
|
when repacking, even if such loose objects will immediately pruned |
|
due to its age. |
|
|
|
* A contrib script "rerere-train" did not work out of the box unless |
|
user futzed with her $PATH. |
|
|
|
* "git rev-parse --show-prefix" used to emit nothing when run at the |
|
top-level of the working tree, but now it gives a blank line. |
|
|
|
* The i18n of error message "git stash save" was not properly done. |
|
|
|
* "git submodule" used a sed script that some platforms mishandled. |
|
|
|
* When using a Perl script on a system where "perl" found on user's |
|
$PATH could be ancient or otherwise broken, we allow builders to |
|
specify the path to a good copy of Perl with $PERL_PATH. The |
|
gitweb test forgot to use that Perl when running its test. |
|
|
|
Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
