   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.
