1 Git v1.8.2.1 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 Fixes since v1.8.2
5 ------------------
7 * The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of
8 files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the
9 common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped.
11 * "git submodule update", when recursed into sub-submodules, did not
12 acccumulate the prefix paths.
14 * "git am $maildir/" applied messages in an unexpected order; sort
15 filenames read from the maildir/ in a way that is more likely to
16 sort messages in the order the writing MUA meant to, by sorting
17 numeric segment in numeric order and non-numeric segment in
18 alphabetical order.
20 * When export-subst is used, "zip" output recorded incorrect
21 size of the file.
23 * Some platforms and users spell UTF-8 differently; retry with the
24 most official "UTF-8" when the system does not understand the
25 user-supplied encoding name that are the common alternative
26 spellings of UTF-8.
28 * "git branch" did not bother to check nonsense command line
29 parameters and issue errors in many cases.
31 * "git update-index -h" did not do the usual "-h(elp)" thing.
33 * perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it
34 out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do.
36 * The SSL peer verification done by "git imap-send" did not ask for
37 Server Name Indication (RFC 4366), failing to connect SSL/TLS
38 sites that serve multiple hostnames on a single IP.
40 * "git index-pack" had a buffer-overflow while preparing an
41 informational message when the translated version of it was too
42 long.
44 * Clarify in the documentation "what" gets pushed to "where" when the
45 command line to "git push" does not say these explicitly.
47 * In "git reflog expire", REACHABLE bit was not cleared from the
48 correct objects.
50 * The "--color=<when>" argument to the commands in the diff family
51 was described poorly.
53 * The arguments given to pre-rebase hook were not documented.
55 * The v4 index format was not documented.
57 * The "--match=<pattern>" argument "git describe" takes uses glob
58 pattern but it wasn't obvious from the documentation.
60 * Some sources failed to compile on systems that lack NI_MAXHOST in
61 their system header (e.g. z/OS).
63 * Add an example use of "--env-filter" in "filter-branch"
64 documentation.
66 * "git bundle verify" did not say "records a complete history" for a
67 bundle that does not have any prerequisites.
69 * In the v1.8.0 era, we changed symbols that do not have to be global
70 to file scope static, but a few functions in graph.c were used by
71 CGit from sideways bypassing the entry points of the API the
72 in-tree users use.
74 * "git merge-tree" had a typo in the logic to detect d/f conflicts,
75 which caused it to segfault in some cases.
