Git 1.8.1.1 Release Notes |
|
========================= |
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.8.1 |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
* The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be |
|
applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the |
|
exclude mechanism does. |
|
|
|
* When attempting to read the XDG-style $HOME/.config/git/config and |
|
finding that $HOME/.config/git is a file, we gave a wrong error |
|
message, instead of treating the case as "a custom config file does |
|
not exist there" and moving on. |
|
|
|
* After failing to create a temporary file using mkstemp(), failing |
|
pathname was not reported correctly on some platforms. |
|
|
|
* http transport was wrong to ask for the username when the |
|
authentication is done by certificate identity. |
|
|
|
* The behaviour visible to the end users was confusing, when they |
|
attempt to kill a process spawned in the editor that was in turn |
|
launched by Git with SIGINT (or SIGQUIT), as Git would catch that |
|
signal and die. We ignore these signals now. |
|
|
|
* A child process that was killed by a signal (e.g. SIGINT) was |
|
reported in an inconsistent way depending on how the process was |
|
spawned by us, with or without a shell in between. |
|
|
|
* After "git add -N" and then writing a tree object out of the |
|
index, the cache-tree data structure got corrupted. |
|
|
|
* "git apply" misbehaved when fixing whitespace breakages by removing |
|
excess trailing blank lines in some corner cases. |
|
|
|
* A tar archive created by "git archive" recorded a directory in a |
|
way that made NetBSD's implementation of "tar" sometimes unhappy. |
|
|
|
* When "git clone --separate-git-dir=$over_there" is interrupted, it |
|
failed to remove the real location of the $GIT_DIR it created. |
|
This was most visible when interrupting a submodule update. |
|
|
|
* "git fetch --mirror" and fetch that uses other forms of refspec |
|
with wildcard used to attempt to update a symbolic ref that match |
|
the wildcard on the receiving end, which made little sense (the |
|
real ref that is pointed at by the symbolic ref would be updated |
|
anyway). Symbolic refs no longer are affected by such a fetch. |
|
|
|
* The "log --graph" codepath fell into infinite loop in some |
|
corner cases. |
|
|
|
* "git merge" started calling prepare-commit-msg hook like "git |
|
commit" does some time ago, but forgot to pay attention to the exit |
|
status of the hook. |
|
|
|
* "git pack-refs" that ran in parallel to another process that |
|
created new refs had a race that can lose new ones. |
|
|
|
* When a line to be wrapped has a solid run of non space characters |
|
whose length exactly is the wrap width, "git shortlog -w" failed |
|
to add a newline after such a line. |
|
|
|
* The way "git svn" asked for password using SSH_ASKPASS and |
|
GIT_ASKPASS was not in line with the rest of the system. |
|
|
|
* "gitweb", when sorting by age to show repositories with new |
|
activities first, used to sort repositories with absolutely |
|
nothing in it early, which was not very useful. |
|
|
|
* "gitweb", when sorting by age to show repositories with new |
|
activities first, used to sort repositories with absolutely |
|
nothing in it early, which was not very useful. |
|
|
|
* When autoconf is used, any build on a different commit always ran |
|
"config.status --recheck" even when unnecessary. |
|
|
|
* Some scripted programs written in Python did not get updated when |
|
PYTHON_PATH changed. |
|
|
|
* We have been carrying a translated and long-unmaintained copy of an |
|
old version of the tutorial; removed. |
|
|
|
* Portability issues in many self-test scripts have been addressed. |
