1 Git v1.7.3.3 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 In addition to the usual fixes, this release also includes support for
5 the new "add.ignoreErrors" name given to the existing "add.ignore-errors"
6 configuration variable.
8 The next version, Git 1.7.4, and future versions, will support both
9 old and incorrect name and the new corrected name, but without this
10 backport, users who want to use the new name "add.ignoreErrors" in
11 their repositories cannot use older versions of Git.
16 * "git apply" segfaulted when a bogus input is fed to it.
18 * Running "git cherry-pick --ff" on a root commit segfaulted.
20 * "diff", "blame" and friends incorrectly applied textconv filters to
23 * Highlighting of whitespace breakage in "diff" output was showing
24 incorrect amount of whitespaces when blank-at-eol is set and the line
25 consisted only of whitespaces and a TAB.
27 * "diff" was overly inefficient when trying to find the line to use for
28 the function header (i.e. equivalent to --show-c-function of GNU diff).
30 * "git imap-send" depends on libcrypto but our build rule relied on the
31 linker to implicitly link it via libssl, which was wrong.
33 * "git merge-file" can be called from within a subdirectory now.
35 * "git repack -f" expanded and recompressed non-delta objects in the
36 existing pack, which was wasteful. Use new "-F" option if you really
37 want to (e.g. when changing the pack.compression level).
39 * "git rev-list --format="...%x00..." incorrectly chopped its output
42 * "git send-email" did not correctly remove duplicate mail addresses from
43 the Cc: header that appear on the To: header.
45 * The completion script (in contrib/completion) ignored lightweight tags
48 * "git-blame" mode (in contrib/emacs) didn't say (require 'format-spec)
49 even though it depends on it; it didn't work with Emacs 22 or older
52 * "git-p4" (in contrib/) did not correctly handle deleted files.
54 Other minor fixes and documentation updates are also included.
