| 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. |
