1Git v1.8.2.2 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.8.2.1 5-------------------- 6 7 * Zsh completion forgot that '%' character used to signal untracked 8 files needs to be escaped with another '%'. 9 10 * A commit object whose author or committer ident are malformed 11 crashed some code that trusted that a name, an email and an 12 timestamp can always be found in it. 13 14 * The new core.commentchar configuration was not applied to a few 15 places. 16 17 * "git pull --rebase" did not pass "-v/-q" options to underlying 18 "git rebase". 19 20 * When receive-pack detects error in the pack header it received in 21 order to decide which of unpack-objects or index-pack to run, it 22 returned without closing the error stream, which led to a hang 23 sideband thread. 24 25 * "git diff --diff-algorithm=algo" was understood by the command line 26 parser, but "git diff --diff-algorithm algo" was not. 27 28 * "git log -S/-G" started paying attention to textconv filter, but 29 there was no way to disable this. Make it honor --no-textconv 30 option. 31 32 * "git merge $(git rev-parse v1.8.2)" behaved quite differently from 33 "git merge v1.8.2", as if v1.8.2 were written as v1.8.2^0 and did 34 not pay much attention to the annotated tag payload. Make the code 35 notice the type of the tag object, in addition to the dwim_ref() 36 based classification the current code uses (i.e. the name appears 37 in refs/tags/) to decide when to special case merging of tags. 38 39 * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can take more than one commit 40 on the command line these days, but it was not mentioned on the usage 41 text. 42 43 * Perl scripts like "git-svn" closed (not redirecting to /dev/null) 44 the standard error stream, which is not a very smart thing to do. 45 Later open may return file descriptor #2 for unrelated purpose, and 46 error reporting code may write into them. 47 48 * "git apply --whitespace=fix" was not prepared to see a line getting 49 longer after fixing whitespaces (e.g. tab-in-indent aka Python). 50 51 * "git diff/log --cc" did not work well with options that ignore 52 whitespace changes. 53 54 * Documentation on setting up a http server that requires 55 authentication only on the push but not fetch has been clarified. 56 57 * A few bugfixes to "git rerere" working on corner case merge 58 conflicts have been applied. 59 60 * "git bundle" did not like a bundle created using a commit without 61 any message as its one of the prerequisites.
