1 Git v1.7.10.1 Release Notes
2 ===========================
7 * "git add -p" is not designed to deal with unmerged paths but did
8 not exclude them and tried to apply funny patches only to fail.
10 * When PATH contains an unreadable directory, alias expansion code
11 did not kick in, and failed with an error that said "git-subcmd"
14 * "git clean -d -f" (not "-d -f -f") is supposed to protect nested
15 working trees of independent git repositories that exist in the
16 current project working tree from getting removed, but the
17 protection applied only to such working trees that are at the
18 top-level of the current project by mistake.
20 * "git commit --author=$name" did not tell the name that was being
21 recorded in the resulting commit to hooks, even though it does do
22 so when the end user overrode the authorship via the
23 "GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" environment variable.
25 * When "git commit --template F" errors out because the user did not
26 touch the message, it claimed that it aborts due to "empty
27 message", which was utterly wrong.
29 * The regexp configured with diff.wordregex was incorrectly reused
32 * An age-old corner case bug in combine diff (only triggered with -U0
33 and the hunk at the beginning of the file needs to be shown) has
36 * Rename detection logic used to match two empty files as renames
37 during merge-recursive, leading to unnatural mismerges.
39 * Running "notes merge --commit" failed to perform correctly when run
40 from any directory inside $GIT_DIR/. When "notes merge" stops with
41 conflicts, $GIT_DIR/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE is the place a user edits
44 * The 'push to upstream' implementation was broken in some corner
45 cases. "git push $there" without refspec, when the current branch
46 is set to push to a remote different from $there, used to push to
47 $there using the upstream information to a remote unreleated to
50 Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
