1 Git v1.8.2.2 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * Zsh completion forgot that '%' character used to signal untracked
8 files needs to be escaped with another '%'.
10 * A commit object whose author or committer ident are malformed
11 crashed some code that trusted that a name, an email and an
12 timestamp can always be found in it.
14 * The new core.commentchar configuration was not applied to a few
17 * "git pull --rebase" did not pass "-v/-q" options to underlying
20 * When receive-pack detects error in the pack header it received in
21 order to decide which of unpack-objects or index-pack to run, it
22 returned without closing the error stream, which led to a hang
25 * "git diff --diff-algorithm=algo" was understood by the command line
26 parser, but "git diff --diff-algorithm algo" was not.
28 * "git log -S/-G" started paying attention to textconv filter, but
29 there was no way to disable this. Make it honor --no-textconv
32 * "git merge $(git rev-parse v1.8.2)" behaved quite differently from
33 "git merge v1.8.2", as if v1.8.2 were written as v1.8.2^0 and did
34 not pay much attention to the annotated tag payload. Make the code
35 notice the type of the tag object, in addition to the dwim_ref()
36 based classification the current code uses (i.e. the name appears
37 in refs/tags/) to decide when to special case merging of tags.
39 * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can take more than one commit
40 on the command line these days, but it was not mentioned on the usage
43 * Perl scripts like "git-svn" closed (not redirecting to /dev/null)
44 the standard error stream, which is not a very smart thing to do.
45 Later open may return file descriptor #2 for unrelated purpose, and
46 error reporting code may write into them.
48 * "git apply --whitespace=fix" was not prepared to see a line getting
49 longer after fixing whitespaces (e.g. tab-in-indent aka Python).
51 * "git diff/log --cc" did not work well with options that ignore
54 * Documentation on setting up a http server that requires
55 authentication only on the push but not fetch has been clarified.
57 * A few bugfixes to "git rerere" working on corner case merge
58 conflicts have been applied.
60 * "git bundle" did not like a bundle created using a commit without
61 any message as its one of the prerequisites.
