1 Git 1.8.1.6 Release Notes
2 =========================
4 Fixes since v1.8.1.5
5 --------------------
7 * The code to keep track of what directory names are known to Git on
8 platforms with case insensitive filesystems can get confused upon a
9 hash collision between these pathnames and looped forever.
11 * When the "--prefix" option is used to "checkout-index", the code
12 did not pick the correct output filter based on the attribute
13 setting.
15 * Annotated tags outside refs/tags/ hierarchy were not advertised
16 correctly to the ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git.
18 * The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of
19 files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the
20 common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped.
22 * "git update-index -h" did not do the usual "-h(elp)" thing.
24 * perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it
25 out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do.
27 * The SSL peer verification done by "git imap-send" did not ask for
28 Server Name Indication (RFC 4366), failing to connect SSL/TLS
29 sites that serve multiple hostnames on a single IP.
31 * "git bundle verify" did not say "records a complete history" for a
32 bundle that does not have any prerequisites.
34 Also contains various documentation fixes.
