1Git v1.7.7.1 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.7.7 5------------------ 6 7 * "git diff $tree $path" used to apply the pathspec at the output stage, 8 reading the whole tree, wasting resources. 9 10 * The code to check for updated submodules during a "git fetch" of the 11 superproject had an unnecessary quadratic loop. 12 13 * "git fetch" from a large bundle did not enable the progress output. 14 15 * When "git fsck --lost-and-found" found that an empty blob object in the 16 object store is unreachable, it incorrectly reported an error after 17 writing the lost blob out successfully. 18 19 * "git filter-branch" did not refresh the index before checking that the 20 working tree was clean. 21 22 * "git grep $tree" when run with multiple threads had an unsafe access to 23 the object database that should have been protected with mutex. 24 25 * The "--ancestry-path" option to "git log" and friends misbehaved in a 26 history with complex criss-cross merges and showed an uninteresting 27 side history as well. 28 29 * Test t1304 assumed LOGNAME is always set, which may not be true on 30 some systems. 31 32 * Tests with --valgrind failed to find "mergetool" scriptlets. 33 34 * "git patch-id" miscomputed the patch-id in a patch that has a line longer 35 than 1kB. 36 37 * When an "exec" insn failed after modifying the index and/or the working 38 tree during "rebase -i", we now check and warn that the changes need to 39 be cleaned up.
