| Git v1.8.2.2 Release Notes | |
| ========================== | |
| Fixes since v1.8.2.1 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Zsh completion forgot that '%' character used to signal untracked | |
| files needs to be escaped with another '%'. | |
| * A commit object whose author or committer ident are malformed | |
| crashed some code that trusted that a name, an email and an | |
| timestamp can always be found in it. | |
| * The new core.commentchar configuration was not applied to a few | |
| places. | |
| * "git pull --rebase" did not pass "-v/-q" options to underlying | |
| "git rebase". | |
| * When receive-pack detects error in the pack header it received in | |
| order to decide which of unpack-objects or index-pack to run, it | |
| returned without closing the error stream, which led to a hang | |
| sideband thread. | |
| * "git diff --diff-algorithm=algo" was understood by the command line | |
| parser, but "git diff --diff-algorithm algo" was not. | |
| * "git log -S/-G" started paying attention to textconv filter, but | |
| there was no way to disable this. Make it honor --no-textconv | |
| option. | |
| * "git merge $(git rev-parse v1.8.2)" behaved quite differently from | |
| "git merge v1.8.2", as if v1.8.2 were written as v1.8.2^0 and did | |
| not pay much attention to the annotated tag payload. Make the code | |
| notice the type of the tag object, in addition to the dwim_ref() | |
| based classification the current code uses (i.e. the name appears | |
| in refs/tags/) to decide when to special case merging of tags. | |
| * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can take more than one commit | |
| on the command line these days, but it was not mentioned on the usage | |
| text. | |
| * Perl scripts like "git-svn" closed (not redirecting to /dev/null) | |
| the standard error stream, which is not a very smart thing to do. | |
| Later open may return file descriptor #2 for unrelated purpose, and | |
| error reporting code may write into them. | |
| * "git apply --whitespace=fix" was not prepared to see a line getting | |
| longer after fixing whitespaces (e.g. tab-in-indent aka Python). | |
| * "git diff/log --cc" did not work well with options that ignore | |
| whitespace changes. | |
| * Documentation on setting up a http server that requires | |
| authentication only on the push but not fetch has been clarified. | |
| * A few bugfixes to "git rerere" working on corner case merge | |
| conflicts have been applied. | |
| * "git bundle" did not like a bundle created using a commit without | |
| any message as its one of the prerequisites. |
