1 Git v1.8.2.2 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 Fixes since v1.8.2.1
5 --------------------
7 * "git diff --diff-algorithm=algo" was understood by the command line
8 parser, but "git diff --diff-algorithm algo" was not.
10 * "git log -S/-G" started paying attention to textconv filter, but
11 there was no way to disable this. Make it honor --no-textconv
12 option.
14 * "git merge $(git rev-parse v1.8.2)" behaved quite differently from
15 "git merge v1.8.2", as if v1.8.2 were written as v1.8.2^0 and did
16 not pay much attention to the annotated tag payload. Make the code
17 notice the type of the tag object, in addition to the dwim_ref()
18 based classification the current code uses (i.e. the name appears
19 in refs/tags/) to decide when to special case merging of tags.
21 * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can take more than one commit
22 on the command line these days, but it was not mentioned on the usage
23 text.
25 * Perl scripts like "git-svn" closed (not redirecting to /dev/null)
26 the standard error stream, which is not a very smart thing to do.
27 Later open may return file descriptor #2 for unrelated purpose, and
28 error reporting code may write into them.
30 * "git apply --whitespace=fix" was not prepared to see a line getting
31 longer after fixing whitespaces (e.g. tab-in-indent aka Python).
33 * "git diff/log --cc" did not work well with options that ignore
34 whitespace changes.
36 * Documentation on setting up a http server that requires
37 authentication only on the push but not fetch has been clarified.
39 * A few bugfixes to "git rerere" working on corner case merge
40 conflicts have been applied.
42 * "git bundle" did not like a bundle created using a commit without
43 any message as its one of the prerequistes.
