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lacked a warning that it has been mostly superseded with more |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.
