1Git v1.7.9.2 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.7.9.1 5-------------------- 6 7 * Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not like a pattern that 8 begins with a dash to be passed to __git_ps1 helper function. 9 10 * Adaptation of the bash completion script (in contrib/) for zsh 11 incorrectly listed all subcommands when "git <TAB><TAB>" was given 12 to ask for list of porcelain subcommands. 13 14 * The build procedure for profile-directed optimized binary was not 15 working very well. 16 17 * Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset(). 18 19 * t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing. 20 21 * The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was 22 not phrased correctly. 23 24 * The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal 25 input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X 26 with GUI askpass helper). 27 28 * We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when 29 they are invoked with the pager, i.e. "git -p cmd". 30 31 * map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted 32 in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed 33 excess '>' at the end of email addresses. 34 35 * "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch. 36 37 * When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, "git clone .../foo" did not 38 favor the former but the latter. 39 40 * "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with 41 "add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content 42 in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without 43 these paths. 44 45 * "git diff --stat" said "files", "insertions", and "deletions" even 46 when it is showing one "file", one "insertion" or one "deletion". 47 48 * The output from "git diff --stat" for two paths that have the same 49 amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the 50 way we handled rounding errors. 51 52 * "git grep" did not pay attention to -diff (hence -binary) attribute. 53 54 * The transport programs (fetch, push, clone)ignored --no-progress 55 and showed progress when sending their output to a terminal. 56 57 * Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of 58 "git receive-pack" (the other end of "git push") was lost by later 59 checks, resulting in false indication of success. 60 61 * "git rev-list --verify" sometimes skipped verification depending on 62 the phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series. 63 64 * Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly. 65 66 * Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file 67 correctly. 68 69Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
