| Git v1.9.1 Release Notes | |
| ======================== | |
| Fixes since v1.9.0 | |
| ------------------ | |
| * "git clean -d pathspec" did not use the given pathspec correctly | |
| and ended up cleaning too much. | |
| * "git difftool" misbehaved when the repository is bound to the | |
| working tree with the ".git file" mechanism, where a textual file | |
| ".git" tells us where it is. | |
| * "git push" did not pay attention to branch.*.pushremote if it is | |
| defined earlier than remote.pushdefault; the order of these two | |
| variables in the configuration file should not matter, but it did | |
| by mistake. | |
| * Codepaths that parse timestamps in commit objects have been | |
| tightened. | |
| * "git diff --external-diff" incorrectly fed the submodule directory | |
| in the working tree to the external diff driver when it knew it is | |
| the same as one of the versions being compared. | |
| * "git reset" needs to refresh the index when working in a working | |
| tree (it can also be used to match the index to the HEAD in an | |
| otherwise bare repository), but it failed to set up the working | |
| tree properly, causing GIT_WORK_TREE to be ignored. | |
| * "git check-attr" when working on a repository with a working tree | |
| did not work well when the working tree was specified via the | |
| --work-tree (and obviously with --git-dir) option. | |
| * "merge-recursive" was broken in 1.7.7 era and stopped working in | |
| an empty (temporary) working tree, when there are renames | |
| involved. This has been corrected. | |
| * "git rev-parse" was loose in rejecting command line arguments | |
| that do not make sense, e.g. "--default" without the required | |
| value for that option. | |
| * include.path variable (or any variable that expects a path that | |
| can use ~username expansion) in the configuration file is not a | |
| boolean, but the code failed to check it. | |
| * "git diff --quiet -- pathspec1 pathspec2" sometimes did not return | |
| correct status value. | |
| * Attempting to deepen a shallow repository by fetching over smart | |
| HTTP transport failed in the protocol exchange, when no-done | |
| extension was used. The fetching side waited for the list of | |
| shallow boundary commits after the sending end stopped talking to | |
| it. | |
| * Allow "git cmd path/", when the 'path' is where a submodule is | |
| bound to the top-level working tree, to match 'path', despite the | |
| extra and unnecessary trailing slash (such a slash is often | |
| given by command line completion). |
