1 Git v1.7.10.2 Release Notes
2 ===========================
4 Fixes since v1.7.10.1
5 ---------------------
7 * The test scaffolding for git-daemon was flaky.
9 * The test scaffolding for fast-import was flaky.
11 * The filesystem boundary was not correctly reported when .git directory
12 discovery stopped at a mount point.
14 * HTTP transport that requires authentication did not work correctly when
15 multiple connections are used simultaneously.
17 * In the older days, the header "Conflicts:" in "cherry-pick" and "merge"
18 was separated by a blank line from the list of paths that follow for
19 readability, but when "merge" was rewritten in C, we lost it by
20 mistake. Remove the newline from "cherry-pick" to make them match
21 again.
23 * The command line parser choked "git cherry-pick $name" when $name can
24 be both revision name and a pathname, even though $name can never be a
25 path in the context of the command.
27 * The "include.path" facility in the configuration mechanism added in
28 1.7.10 forgot to interpret "~/path" and "~user/path" as it should.
30 * "git config --rename-section" to rename an existing section into a
31 bogus one did not check the new name.
33 * The "diff --no-index" codepath used limited-length buffers, risking
34 pathnames getting truncated. Update it to use the strbuf API.
36 * The report from "git fetch" said "new branch" even for a non branch
37 ref.
39 * The http-backend (the server side of the smart http transfer) used
40 to overwrite GIT_COMMITTER_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL with the
41 value obtained from REMOTE_USER unconditionally, making it
42 impossible for the server side site-specific customization to use
43 different identity sources to affect the names logged. It now uses
44 REMOTE_USER only as a fallback value.
46 * "log --graph" was not very friendly with "--stat" option and its
47 output had line breaks at wrong places.
49 * Octopus merge strategy did not reduce heads that are recorded in the
50 final commit correctly.
52 * "git push" over smart-http lost progress output a few releases ago;
53 this release resurrects it.
55 * The insn sheet given by "rebase -i" did not make it clear that the
56 insn lines can be re-ordered to affect the order of the commits in
57 the resulting history.
59 * A contrib script "rerere-train" did not work out of the box unless
60 user futzed with her $PATH.
62 * The i18n of error message "git stash save" was not properly done.
64 * "git submodule" used a sed script that some platforms mishandled.
66 * When using a Perl script on a system where "perl" found on user's
67 $PATH could be ancient or otherwise broken, we allow builders to
68 specify the path to a good copy of Perl with $PERL_PATH. The
69 gitweb test forgot to use that Perl when running its test.
71 Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
