1Git v1.7.11.7 Release Notes 2=========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.7.11.6 5--------------------- 6 7 * The synopsis said "checkout [-B branch]" to make it clear the 8 branch name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the 9 option description was "-B::", not "-B branch::", making the 10 documentation misleading. 11 12 * Git ships with a fall-back regexp implementation for platforms with 13 buggy regexp library, but it was easy for people to keep using their 14 platform regexp. A new test has been added to check this. 15 16 * "git apply -p0" did not parse pathnames on "diff --git" line 17 correctly. This caused patches that had pathnames in no other 18 places to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that 19 does not rename nor change mode). Textual patches, renames or mode 20 changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different places 21 in a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer from 22 this problem. 23 24 * After "gitk" showed the contents of a tag, neither "Reread 25 references" nor "Reload" did not update what is shown as the 26 contents of it, when the user overwrote the tag with "git tag -f". 27 28 * "git for-each-ref" did not currectly support more than one --sort 29 option. 30 31 * "git log .." errored out saying it is both rev range and a path 32 when there is no disambiguating "--" is on the command line. 33 Update the command line parser to interpret ".." as a path in such 34 a case. 35 36 * Pushing to smart HTTP server with recent Git fails without having 37 the username in the URL to force authentication, if the server is 38 configured to allow GET anonymously, while requiring authentication 39 for POST. 40 41 * "git show --format='%ci'" did not give timestamp correctly for 42 commits created without human readable name on "committer" line. 43 (merge e27ddb6 jc/maint-ident-missing-human-name later to maint). 44 45 * "git show --quiet" ought to be a synonym for "git show -s", but 46 wasn't.
