1 Git v1.7.10.1 Release Notes
2 ===========================
4 Additions since v1.7.10
5 -----------------------
7 Localization message files for Danish and German have been added.
13 * "git add -p" is not designed to deal with unmerged paths but did
14 not exclude them and tried to apply funny patches only to fail.
16 * "git blame" started missing quite a few changes from the origin
17 since we stopped using the diff minimization by default in v1.7.2
20 * When PATH contains an unreadable directory, alias expansion code
21 did not kick in, and failed with an error that said "git-subcmd"
24 * "git clean -d -f" (not "-d -f -f") is supposed to protect nested
25 working trees of independent git repositories that exist in the
26 current project working tree from getting removed, but the
27 protection applied only to such working trees that are at the
28 top-level of the current project by mistake.
30 * "git commit --author=$name" did not tell the name that was being
31 recorded in the resulting commit to hooks, even though it does do
32 so when the end user overrode the authorship via the
33 "GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" environment variable.
35 * When "git commit --template F" errors out because the user did not
36 touch the message, it claimed that it aborts due to "empty
37 message", which was utterly wrong.
39 * The regexp configured with diff.wordregex was incorrectly reused
42 * An age-old corner case bug in combine diff (only triggered with -U0
43 and the hunk at the beginning of the file needs to be shown) has
46 * Rename detection logic used to match two empty files as renames
47 during merge-recursive, leading to unnatural mismerges.
49 * The parser in "fast-import" did not diagnose ":9" style references
50 that is not followed by required SP/LF as an error.
52 * When "git fetch" encounters repositories with too many references,
53 the command line of "fetch-pack" that is run by a helper
54 e.g. remote-curl, may fail to hold all of them. Now such an
55 internal invocation can feed the references through the standard
56 input of "fetch-pack".
58 * "git fetch" that recurses into submodules on demand did not check
59 if it needs to go into submodules when non branches (most notably,
62 * "log -p --graph" used with "--stat" had a few formatting error.
64 * Running "notes merge --commit" failed to perform correctly when run
65 from any directory inside $GIT_DIR/. When "notes merge" stops with
66 conflicts, $GIT_DIR/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE is the place a user edits
69 * The 'push to upstream' implementation was broken in some corner
70 cases. "git push $there" without refspec, when the current branch
71 is set to push to a remote different from $there, used to push to
72 $there using the upstream information to a remote unreleated to
75 * Giving "--continue" to a conflicted "rebase -i" session skipped a
76 commit that only results in changes to submodules.
78 Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
