| Git v2.8.4 Release Notes |
| ======================== |
| |
| Fixes since v2.8.3 |
| ------------------ |
| |
| * Documentation for "git merge --verify-signatures" has been updated |
| to clarify that the signature of only the commit at the tip is |
| verified. Also the phrasing used for signature and key validity is |
| adjusted to align with that used by OpenPGP. |
| |
| * On Windows, .git and optionally any files whose name starts with a |
| dot are now marked as hidden, with a core.hideDotFiles knob to |
| customize this behaviour. |
| |
| * Portability enhancement for "rebase -i" to help platforms whose |
| shell does not like "for i in <empty>" (which is not POSIX-kosher). |
| |
| * "git fsck" learned to catch NUL byte in a commit object as |
| potential error and warn. |
| |
| * CI test was taught to build documentation pages. |
| |
| * Many 'linkgit:<git documentation page>' references were broken, |
| which are all fixed with this. |
| |
| Also contains other minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. |
