| Git v1.7.3.3 Release Notes | |
| ========================== | |
| In addition to the usual fixes, this release also includes support for | |
| the new "add.ignoreErrors" name given to the existing "add.ignore-errors" | |
| configuration variable. | |
| The next version, Git 1.7.4, and future versions, will support both | |
| old and incorrect name and the new corrected name, but without this | |
| backport, users who want to use the new name "add.ignoreErrors" in | |
| their repositories cannot use older versions of Git. | |
| Fixes since v1.7.3.2 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * "git apply" segfaulted when a bogus input is fed to it. | |
| * Running "git cherry-pick --ff" on a root commit segfaulted. | |
| * "diff", "blame" and friends incorrectly applied textconv filters to | |
| symlinks. | |
| * Highlighting of whitespace breakage in "diff" output was showing | |
| incorrect amount of whitespaces when blank-at-eol is set and the line | |
| consisted only of whitespaces and a TAB. | |
| * "diff" was overly inefficient when trying to find the line to use for | |
| the function header (i.e. equivalent to --show-c-function of GNU diff). | |
| * "git imap-send" depends on libcrypto but our build rule relied on the | |
| linker to implicitly link it via libssl, which was wrong. | |
| * "git merge-file" can be called from within a subdirectory now. | |
| * "git repack -f" expanded and recompressed non-delta objects in the | |
| existing pack, which was wasteful. Use new "-F" option if you really | |
| want to (e.g. when changing the pack.compression level). | |
| * "git rev-list --format="...%x00..." incorrectly chopped its output | |
| at NUL. | |
| * "git send-email" did not correctly remove duplicate mail addresses from | |
| the Cc: header that appear on the To: header. | |
| * The completion script (in contrib/completion) ignored lightweight tags | |
| in __git_ps1(). | |
| * "git-blame" mode (in contrib/emacs) didn't say (require 'format-spec) | |
| even though it depends on it; it didn't work with Emacs 22 or older | |
| unless Gnus is used. | |
| * "git-p4" (in contrib/) did not correctly handle deleted files. | |
| Other minor fixes and documentation updates are also included. |
