1Git 1.8.1.6 Release Notes 2========================= 3 4Fixes since v1.8.1.5 5-------------------- 6 7 * The code to keep track of what directory names are known to Git on 8 platforms with case insensitive filesystems can get confused upon a 9 hash collision between these pathnames and looped forever. 10 11 * When the "--prefix" option is used to "checkout-index", the code 12 did not pick the correct output filter based on the attribute 13 setting. 14 15 * Annotated tags outside refs/tags/ hierarchy were not advertised 16 correctly to the ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git. 17 18 * The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of 19 files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the 20 common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped. 21 22 * "git update-index -h" did not do the usual "-h(elp)" thing. 23 24 * perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it 25 out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do. 26 27 * The SSL peer verification done by "git imap-send" did not ask for 28 Server Name Indication (RFC 4366), failing to connect SSL/TLS 29 sites that serve multiple hostnames on a single IP. 30 31 * "git bundle verify" did not say "records a complete history" for a 32 bundle that does not have any prerequisites. 33 34Also contains various documentation fixes.
