1 Git v2.2.2 Release Notes
2 ========================
4 Fixes since v2.2.1
5 ------------------
7 * "git checkout $treeish $path", when $path in the index and the
8 working tree already matched what is in $treeish at the $path,
9 still overwrote the $path unnecessarily.
11 * "git config --get-color" did not parse its command line arguments
12 carefully.
14 * open() emulated on Windows platforms did not give EISDIR upon
15 an attempt to open a directory for writing.
17 * A few code paths used abs() when they should have used labs() on
18 long integers.
20 * "gitweb" used to depend on a behaviour recent CGI.pm deprecated.
22 * "git init" (hence "git clone") initialized the per-repository
23 configuration file .git/config with x-bit by mistake.
25 * Git 2.0 was supposed to make the "simple" mode for the default of
26 "git push", but it didn't.
28 * "Everyday" document had a broken link.
30 * The build procedure did not bother fixing perl and python scripts
31 when NO_PERL and NO_PYTHON build-time configuration changed.
33 * The code that reads the reflog from the newer to the older entries
34 did not handle an entry that crosses a boundary of block it uses to
35 read them correctly.
37 * "git apply" was described in the documentation to take --ignore-date
38 option, which it does not.
40 * Traditionally we tried to avoid interpreting date strings given by
41 the user as future dates, e.g. GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=2014-12-10 when
42 used early November 2014 was taken as "October 12, 2014" because it
43 is likely that a date in the future, December 10, is a mistake.
44 This heuristics has been loosened to allow people to express future
45 dates (most notably, --until=<date> may want to be far in the
46 future) and we no longer tiebreak by future-ness of the date when
48 (1) ISO-like format is used, and
49 (2) the string can make sense interpreted as both y-m-d and y-d-m.
51 Git may still have to use the heuristics to tiebreak between dd/mm/yy
52 and mm/dd/yy, though.
54 * The code to abbreviate an object name to its short unique prefix
55 has been optimized when no abbreviation was requested.
57 * "git add --ignore-errors ..." did not ignore an error to
58 give a file that did not exist.
60 * Git did not correctly read an overlong refname from a packed refs
61 file.
63 Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
