1Git 1.8.1.3 Release Notes 2========================= 3 4Fixes since v1.8.1.2 5-------------------- 6 7 * The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be 8 applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the 9 exclude mechanism does. The fix for this in 1.8.1.2 had 10 performance degradations. 11 12 * Command line completion code was inadvertently made incompatible with 13 older versions of bash by using a newer array notation. 14 15 * Scripts to test bash completion was inherently flaky as it was 16 affected by whatever random things the user may have on $PATH. 17 18 * A fix was added to the build procedure to work around buggy 19 versions of ccache broke the auto-generation of dependencies, which 20 unfortunately is still relevant because some people use ancient 21 distros. 22 23 * We used to stuff "user@" and then append what we read from 24 /etc/mailname to come up with a default e-mail ident, but a bug 25 lost the "user@" part. 26 27 * "git am" did not parse datestamp correctly from Hg generated patch, 28 when it is run in a locale outside C (or en). 29 30 * Attempt to "branch --edit-description" an existing branch, while 31 being on a detached HEAD, errored out. 32 33 * "git cherry-pick" did not replay a root commit to an unborn branch. 34 35 * We forgot to close the file descriptor reading from "gpg" output, 36 killing "git log --show-signature" on a long history. 37 38 * "git rebase --preserve-merges" lost empty merges in recent versions 39 of Git. 40 41 * Rebasing the history of superproject with change in the submodule 42 has been broken since v1.7.12. 43 44 * A failure to push due to non-ff while on an unborn branch 45 dereferenced a NULL pointer when showing an error message. 46 47Also contains various documentation fixes.
