1 Git v1.8.5.5 Release Notes
2 ==========================
4 Fixes since v1.8.5.4
5 --------------------
7 * The pathspec matching code, while comparing two trees (e.g. "git
8 diff A B -- path1 path2") was too aggressive and failed to match
9 some paths when multiple pathspecs were involved.
11 * "git repack --max-pack-size=8g" stopped being parsed correctly when
12 the command was reimplemented in C.
14 * A recent update to "git send-email" broke platforms where
15 /etc/ssl/certs/ directory exists but cannot be used as SSL_ca_path
16 (e.g. Fedora rawhide).
18 * A handful of bugs around interpreting $branch@{upstream} notation
19 and its lookalike, when $branch part has interesting characters,
20 e.g. "@", and ":", have been fixed.
22 * "git clone" would fail to clone from a repository that has a ref
23 directly under "refs/", e.g. "refs/stash", because different
24 validation paths do different things on such a refname. Loosen the
25 client side's validation to allow such a ref.
27 * "git log --left-right A...B" lost the "leftness" of commits
28 reachable from A when A is a tag as a side effect of a recent
29 bugfix. This is a regression in 1.8.4.x series.
31 * "git merge-base --octopus" used to leave cleaning up suboptimal
32 result to the caller, but now it does the clean-up itself.
34 * "git mv A B/", when B does not exist as a directory, should error
35 out, but it didn't.
37 Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
