1 Git 1.8.1.3 Release Notes
2 =========================
4 Fixes since v1.8.1.2
5 --------------------
7 * The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be
8 applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the
9 exclude mechanism does. The fix for this in 1.8.1.2 had
10 performance degradations.
12 * Command line completion code was inadvertently made incompatible with
13 older versions of bash by using a newer array notation.
15 * Scripts to test bash completion was inherently flaky as it was
16 affected by whatever random things the user may have on $PATH.
18 * A fix was added to the build procedure to work around buggy
19 versions of ccache broke the auto-generation of dependencies, which
20 unfortunately is still relevant because some people use ancient
21 distros.
23 * We used to stuff "user@" and then append what we read from
24 /etc/mailname to come up with a default e-mail ident, but a bug
25 lost the "user@" part.
27 * "git am" did not parse datestamp correctly from Hg generated patch,
28 when it is run in a locale outside C (or en).
30 * Attempt to "branch --edit-description" an existing branch, while
31 being on a detached HEAD, errored out.
33 * "git cherry-pick" did not replay a root commit to an unborn branch.
35 * We forgot to close the file descriptor reading from "gpg" output,
36 killing "git log --show-signature" on a long history.
38 * "git rebase --preserve-merges" lost empty merges in recent versions
39 of Git.
41 * Rebasing the history of superproject with change in the submodule
42 has been broken since v1.7.12.
44 * A failure to push due to non-ff while on an unborn branch
45 dereferenced a NULL pointer when showing an error message.
47 Also contains various documentation fixes.
