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