1 Git v1.8.3.2 Release Notes

2 ==========================

3

4 Fixes since v1.8.3.1

5 --------------------

6

7 * "git checkout foo" DWIMs the intended "upstream" and turns it into

8 "git checkout -t -b foo remotes/origin/foo". This codepath has been

9 updated to correctly take existing remote definitions into account.

10

11 * "git fetch" into a shallow repository from a repository that does

12 not know about the shallow boundary commits (e.g. a different fork

13 from the repository the current shallow repository was cloned from)

14 did not work correctly.

15

16 * "git subtree" (in contrib/) had one codepath with loose error

17 checks to lose data at the remote side.

18

19 * "git log --ancestry-path A...B" did not work as expected, as it did

20 not pay attention to the fact that the merge base between A and B

21 was the bottom of the range being specified.

22

23 * "git diff -c -p" was not showing a deleted line from a hunk when

24 another hunk immediately begins where the earlier one ends.

25

26 * "git merge @{-1}~22" was rewritten to "git merge frotz@{1}~22"

27 incorrectly when your previous branch was "frotz" (it should be

28 rewritten to "git merge frotz~22" instead).

29

30 * "git commit --allow-empty-message -m ''" should not start an

31 editor.

32

33 * "git push --[no-]verify" was not documented.

34

35 * An entry for "file://" scheme in the enumeration of URL types Git

36 can take in the HTML documentation was made into a clickable link

37 by mistake.

38

39 * zsh prompt script that borrowed from bash prompt script did not

40 work due to slight differences in array variable notation between

41 these two shells.

42

43 * The bash prompt code (in contrib/) displayed the name of the branch

44 being rebased when "rebase -i/-m/-p" modes are in use, but not the

45 plain vanilla "rebase".

46

47 * "git push $there HEAD:branch" did not resolve HEAD early enough, so

48 it was easy to flip it around while push is still going on and push

49 out a branch that the user did not originally intended when the

50 command was started.

51

52 * "difftool --dir-diff" did not copy back changes made by the

53 end-user in the diff tool backend to the working tree in some

54 cases.
