1 Git 1.8.1.5 Release Notes
2 =========================
7 * "git apply --summary" has been taught to make sure the similarity
8 value shown in its output is sensible, even when the input had a
11 * "git clean" showed what it was going to do, but sometimes ended
12 up finding that it was not allowed to do so, which resulted in a
13 confusing output (e.g. after saying that it will remove an
14 untracked directory, it found an embedded git repository there
15 which it is not allowed to remove). It now performs the actions
16 and then reports the outcome more faithfully.
18 * "git clone" used to allow --bare and --separate-git-dir=$there

25 the "--raw --cc" output.
27 * The smart HTTP clients forgot to verify the content-type that comes
28 back from the server side to make sure that the request is being
31 * "git help remote-helpers" failed to find the documentation.
33 * "gitweb" pages served over HTTPS, when configured to show picon or
34 gravatar, referred to these external resources to be fetched via
35 HTTP, resulting in mixed contents warning in browsers.
37 Also contains various documentation fixes.
