1 Git v2.3.1 Release Notes
2 ========================
4 Fixes since v2.3
5 ----------------
7 * The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it"
8 interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when
9 the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the
10 user could have made was to choose nothing.
12 * "git apply --whitespace=fix" used to under-allocate the memory
13 when the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch.
15 * "git log --help" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant
16 to the "log" command.
18 * The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author
19 name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been
20 reworded to avoid misunderstanding.
22 * A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the
23 dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other
24 side.
26 * The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the
27 only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in
28 the --raw format.
30 * Fix a misspelled conditional that is always true.
32 * Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory
33 would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file.
35 * The "git push" documentation made the "--repo=<there>" option
36 easily misunderstood.
38 * After attempting and failing a password-less authentication
39 (e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based
40 Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement.
42 * Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce
43 broken patches.
45 * "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
46 not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
47 files and failed to do so for whatever reason.
49 * "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it
50 tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD".
52 Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
