| Git v2.0.2 Release Notes | |
| ======================== | |
| * Documentation for "git submodule sync" forgot to say that the subcommand | |
| can take the "--recursive" option. | |
| * Mishandling of patterns in .gitignore that has trailing SPs quoted | |
| with backslashes (e.g. ones that end with "\ ") have been | |
| corrected. | |
| * Recent updates to "git repack" started to duplicate objects that | |
| are in packfiles marked with .keep flag into the new packfile by | |
| mistake. | |
| * "git clone -b brefs/tags/bar" would have mistakenly thought we were | |
| following a single tag, even though it was a name of the branch, | |
| because it incorrectly used strstr(). | |
| * "%G" (nothing after G) is an invalid pretty format specifier, but | |
| the parser did not notice it as garbage. | |
| * Code to avoid adding the same alternate object store twice was | |
| subtly broken for a long time, but nobody seems to have noticed. | |
| * A handful of code paths had to read the commit object more than | |
| once when showing header fields that are usually not parsed. The | |
| internal data structure to keep track of the contents of the commit | |
| object has been updated to reduce the need for this double-reading, | |
| and to allow the caller find the length of the object. | |
| * During "git rebase --merge", a conflicted patch could not be | |
| skipped with "--skip" if the next one also conflicted. |
