1 Git v1.8.3.2 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * Cloning with "git clone --depth N" while fetch.fsckobjects (or
8 transfer.fsckobjects) is set to true did not tell the cut-off
9 points of the shallow history to the process that validates the
10 objects and the history received, causing the validation to fail.
12 * "git checkout foo" DWIMs the intended "upstream" and turns it into
13 "git checkout -t -b foo remotes/origin/foo". This codepath has been
14 updated to correctly take existing remote definitions into account.
16 * "git fetch" into a shallow repository from a repository that does
17 not know about the shallow boundary commits (e.g. a different fork
18 from the repository the current shallow repository was cloned from)
19 did not work correctly.
21 * "git subtree" (in contrib/) had one codepath with loose error
22 checks to lose data at the remote side.
24 * "git log --ancestry-path A...B" did not work as expected, as it did
25 not pay attention to the fact that the merge base between A and B
26 was the bottom of the range being specified.
28 * "git diff -c -p" was not showing a deleted line from a hunk when

31 * "git merge @{-1}~22" was rewritten to "git merge frotz@{1}~22"
32 incorrectly when your previous branch was "frotz" (it should be
33 rewritten to "git merge frotz~22" instead).
35 * "git commit --allow-empty-message -m ''" should not start an
38 * "git push --[no-]verify" was not documented.
40 * An entry for "file://" scheme in the enumeration of URL types Git
41 can take in the HTML documentation was made into a clickable link
44 * zsh prompt script that borrowed from bash prompt script did not
45 work due to slight differences in array variable notation between
48 * The bash prompt code (in contrib/) displayed the name of the branch
49 being rebased when "rebase -i/-m/-p" modes are in use, but not the
50 plain vanilla "rebase".
52 * "git push $there HEAD:branch" did not resolve HEAD early enough, so
53 it was easy to flip it around while push is still going on and push
54 out a branch that the user did not originally intended when the
57 * "difftool --dir-diff" did not copy back changes made by the
58 end-user in the diff tool backend to the working tree in some
