1 Git v1.7.9.2 Release Notes
2 ==========================
7 * Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not like a pattern that
8 begins with a dash to be passed to __git_ps1 helper function.
10 * Adaptation of the bash completion script (in contrib/) for zsh
11 incorrectly listed all subcommands when "git <TAB><TAB>" was given
12 to ask for list of porcelain subcommands.
14 * The build procedure for profile-directed optimized binary was not
17 * Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset().
19 * t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing.
21 * The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
22 not phrased correctly.
24 * The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
25 input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
26 with GUI askpass helper).
28 * We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when
29 they are invoked with the pager, i.e. "git -p cmd".
31 * map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
32 in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
33 excess '>' at the end of email addresses.
35 * "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.
37 * When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, "git clone .../foo" did not
38 favor the former but the latter.
40 * "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
41 "add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
42 in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
45 * "git diff --stat" said "files", "insertions", and "deletions" even
46 when it is showing one "file", one "insertion" or one "deletion".
48 * The output from "git diff --stat" for two paths that have the same
49 amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the
50 way we handled rounding errors.
52 * "git grep" did not pay attention to -diff (hence -binary) attribute.
54 * The transport programs (fetch, push, clone)ignored --no-progress
55 and showed progress when sending their output to a terminal.
57 * Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of
58 "git receive-pack" (the other end of "git push") was lost by later
59 checks, resulting in false indication of success.
61 * "git rev-list --verify" sometimes skipped verification depending on
62 the phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series.
64 * Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
66 * Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file
69 Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
