   1Git 1.8.1.5 Release Notes
   2=========================
   3
   4Fixes since v1.8.1.4
   5--------------------
   6
   7 * Given a string with a multi-byte character that begins with '-' on
   8   the command line where an option is expected, the option parser
   9   used just one byte of the unknown letter when reporting an error.
  10
  11 * "git apply --summary" has been taught to make sure the similarity
  12   value shown in its output is sensible, even when the input had a
  13   bogus value.
  14
  15 * "git clean" showed what it was going to do, but sometimes ended
  16   up finding that it was not allowed to do so, which resulted in a
  17   confusing output (e.g. after saying that it will remove an
  18   untracked directory, it found an embedded git repository there
  19   which it is not allowed to remove).  It now performs the actions
  20   and then reports the outcome more faithfully.
  21
  22 * "git clone" used to allow --bare and --separate-git-dir=$there
  23   options at the same time, which was nonsensical.
  24
  25 * "git cvsimport" mishandled timestamps at DST boundary.
  26
  27 * We used to have an arbitrary 32 limit for combined diff input,
  28   resulting in incorrect number of leading colons shown when showing
  29   the "--raw --cc" output.
  30
  31 * The smart HTTP clients forgot to verify the content-type that comes
  32   back from the server side to make sure that the request is being
  33   handled properly.
  34
  35 * "git help remote-helpers" failed to find the documentation.
  36
  37 * "gitweb" pages served over HTTPS, when configured to show picon or
  38   gravatar, referred to these external resources to be fetched via
  39   HTTP, resulting in mixed contents warning in browsers.

  41Also contains various documentation fixes.
