1 Git v1.7.7.1 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 Fixes since v1.7.7
5 ------------------
7 * "git diff $tree $path" used to apply the pathspec at the output stage,
8 reading the whole tree, wasting resources.
10 * The code to check for updated submodules during a "git fetch" of the
11 superproject had an unnecessary quadratic loop.
13 * "git fetch" from a large bundle did not enable the progress output.
15 * When "git fsck --lost-and-found" found that an empty blob object in the
16 object store is unreachable, it incorrectly reported an error after
17 writing the lost blob out successfully.
19 * "git filter-branch" did not refresh the index before checking that the
20 working tree was clean.
22 * "git grep $tree" when run with multiple threads had an unsafe access to
23 the object database that should have been protected with mutex.
25 * The "--ancestry-path" option to "git log" and friends misbehaved in a
26 history with complex criss-cross merges and showed an uninteresting
27 side history as well.
29 * Test t1304 assumed LOGNAME is always set, which may not be true on
30 some systems.
32 * Tests with --valgrind failed to find "mergetool" scriptlets.
34 * "git patch-id" miscomputed the patch-id in a patch that has a line longer
35 than 1kB.
37 * When an "exec" insn failed after modifying the index and/or the working
38 tree during "rebase -i", we now check and warn that the changes need to
39 be cleaned up.
