1Git v2.1.1 Release Notes 2======================== 3 4 * Git 2.0 had a regression where "git fetch" into a shallowly 5 cloned repository from a repository with bitmap object index 6 enabled did not work correctly. This has been corrected. 7 8 * Git 2.0 had a regression which broke (rarely used) "git diff-tree 9 -t". This has been corrected. 10 11 * "git log --pretty/format=" with an empty format string did not 12 mean the more obvious "No output whatsoever" but "Use default 13 format", which was counterintuitive. Now it means "nothing shown 14 for the log message part". 15 16 * "git -c section.var command" and "git -c section.var= command" 17 should pass the configuration differently (the former should be a 18 boolean true, the latter should be an empty string), but they 19 didn't work that way. Now it does. 20 21 * Applying a patch not generated by Git in a subdirectory used to 22 check the whitespace breakage using the attributes for incorrect 23 paths. Also whitespace checks were performed even for paths 24 excluded via "git apply --exclude=<path>" mechanism. 25 26 * "git bundle create" with date-range specification were meant to 27 exclude tags outside the range, but it did not work correctly. 28 29 * "git add x" where x that used to be a directory has become a 30 symbolic link to a directory misbehaved. 31 32 * The prompt script checked $GIT_DIR/ref/stash file to see if there 33 is a stash, which was a no-no. 34 35 * "git checkout -m" did not switch to another branch while carrying 36 the local changes forward when a path was deleted from the index. 37 38 * With sufficiently long refnames, fast-import could have overflown 39 an on-stack buffer. 40 41 * After "pack-refs --prune" packed refs at the top-level, it failed 42 to prune them. 43 44 * "git gc --auto" triggered from "git fetch --quiet" was not quiet.
