1Git v1.8.5.5 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.8.5.4 5-------------------- 6 7 * The pathspec matching code, while comparing two trees (e.g. "git 8 diff A B -- path1 path2") was too aggressive and failed to match 9 some paths when multiple pathspecs were involved. 10 11 * "git repack --max-pack-size=8g" stopped being parsed correctly when 12 the command was reimplemented in C. 13 14 * A recent update to "git send-email" broke platforms where 15 /etc/ssl/certs/ directory exists but cannot be used as SSL_ca_path 16 (e.g. Fedora rawhide). 17 18 * A handful of bugs around interpreting $branch@{upstream} notation 19 and its lookalike, when $branch part has interesting characters, 20 e.g. "@", and ":", have been fixed. 21 22 * "git clone" would fail to clone from a repository that has a ref 23 directly under "refs/", e.g. "refs/stash", because different 24 validation paths do different things on such a refname. Loosen the 25 client side's validation to allow such a ref. 26 27 * "git log --left-right A...B" lost the "leftness" of commits 28 reachable from A when A is a tag as a side effect of a recent 29 bugfix. This is a regression in 1.8.4.x series. 30 31 * "git merge-base --octopus" used to leave cleaning up suboptimal 32 result to the caller, but now it does the clean-up itself. 33 34 * "git mv A B/", when B does not exist as a directory, should error 35 out, but it didn't. 36 37Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
