1 Git v1.7.10.2 Release Notes
2 ===========================
4 Fixes since v1.7.10.1
5 ---------------------
7 * The test scaffolding for git-daemon was flaky.
9 * The test scaffolding for fast-import was flaky.
11 * The filesystem boundary was not correctly reported when .git directory
12 discovery stopped at a mount point.
14 * HTTP transport that requires authentication did not work correctly when
15 multiple connections are used simultaneously.
17 * In the older days, the header "Conflicts:" in "cherry-pick" and "merge"
18 was separated by a blank line from the list of paths that follow for
19 readability, but when "merge" was rewritten in C, we lost it by
20 mistake. Remove the newline from "cherry-pick" to make them match
21 again.
23 * The command line parser choked "git cherry-pick $name" when $name can
24 be both revision name and a pathname, even though $name can never be a
25 path in the context of the command.
27 * "git config --rename-section" to rename an existing section into a
28 bogus one did not check the new name.
30 * The "diff --no-index" codepath used limited-length buffers, risking
31 pathnames getting truncated. Update it to use the strbuf API.
33 * The report from "git fetch" said "new branch" even for a non branch
34 ref.
36 * Octopus merge strategy did not reduce heads that are recorded in the
37 final commit correctly.
39 * The i18n of error message "git stash save" was not properly done.
41 * When using a Perl script on a system where "perl" found on user's
42 $PATH could be ancient or otherwise broken, we allow builders to
43 specify the path to a good copy of Perl with $PERL_PATH. The
44 gitweb test forgot to use that Perl when running its test.
46 Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
