   2==========================

   4Fixes since v1.8.3.1
   5--------------------
   6
   7 * Cloning with "git clone --depth N" while fetch.fsckobjects (or
   8   transfer.fsckobjects) is set to true did not tell the cut-off
   9   points of the shallow history to the process that validates the
  10   objects and the history received, causing the validation to fail.
  11
  12 * "git checkout foo" DWIMs the intended "upstream" and turns it into
  13   "git checkout -t -b foo remotes/origin/foo". This codepath has been
  14   updated to correctly take existing remote definitions into account.
  15
  16 * "git fetch" into a shallow repository from a repository that does
  17   not know about the shallow boundary commits (e.g. a different fork
  18   from the repository the current shallow repository was cloned from)
  19   did not work correctly.
  20
  21 * "git subtree" (in contrib/) had one codepath with loose error
  22   checks to lose data at the remote side.
  23
  24 * "git log --ancestry-path A...B" did not work as expected, as it did
  25   not pay attention to the fact that the merge base between A and B
  26   was the bottom of the range being specified.
  27
  28 * "git diff -c -p" was not showing a deleted line from a hunk when
  29   another hunk immediately begins where the earlier one ends.
  30
  31 * "git merge @{-1}~22" was rewritten to "git merge frotz@{1}~22"
  32   incorrectly when your previous branch was "frotz" (it should be
  33   rewritten to "git merge frotz~22" instead).
  34
  35 * "git commit --allow-empty-message -m ''" should not start an
  36   editor.
  37
  38 * "git push --[no-]verify" was not documented.
  39
  40 * An entry for "file://" scheme in the enumeration of URL types Git
  41   can take in the HTML documentation was made into a clickable link
  42   by mistake.
  43
  44 * zsh prompt script that borrowed from bash prompt script did not
  45   work due to slight differences in array variable notation between
  46   these two shells.
  47
  48 * The bash prompt code (in contrib/) displayed the name of the branch
  49   being rebased when "rebase -i/-m/-p" modes are in use, but not the
  50   plain vanilla "rebase".
  51
  52 * "git push $there HEAD:branch" did not resolve HEAD early enough, so
  53   it was easy to flip it around while push is still going on and push
  54   out a branch that the user did not originally intended when the
  55   command was started.
  56
  57 * "difftool --dir-diff" did not copy back changes made by the
  58   end-user in the diff tool backend to the working tree in some
  59   cases.
