1Git v2.2.2 Release Notes 2======================== 3 4Fixes since v2.2.1 5------------------ 6 7 * "git checkout $treeish $path", when $path in the index and the 8 working tree already matched what is in $treeish at the $path, 9 still overwrote the $path unnecessarily. 10 11 * "git config --get-color" did not parse its command line arguments 12 carefully. 13 14 * open() emulated on Windows platforms did not give EISDIR upon 15 an attempt to open a directory for writing. 16 17 * A few code paths used abs() when they should have used labs() on 18 long integers. 19 20 * "gitweb" used to depend on a behaviour recent CGI.pm deprecated. 21 22 * "git init" (hence "git clone") initialized the per-repository 23 configuration file .git/config with x-bit by mistake. 24 25 * Git 2.0 was supposed to make the "simple" mode for the default of 26 "git push", but it didn't. 27 28 * "Everyday" document had a broken link. 29 30 * The build procedure did not bother fixing perl and python scripts 31 when NO_PERL and NO_PYTHON build-time configuration changed. 32 33 * The code that reads the reflog from the newer to the older entries 34 did not handle an entry that crosses a boundary of block it uses to 35 read them correctly. 36 37 * "git apply" was described in the documentation to take --ignore-date 38 option, which it does not. 39 40 * Traditionally we tried to avoid interpreting date strings given by 41 the user as future dates, e.g. GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=2014-12-10 when 42 used early November 2014 was taken as "October 12, 2014" because it 43 is likely that a date in the future, December 10, is a mistake. 44 This heuristics has been loosened to allow people to express future 45 dates (most notably, --until=<date> may want to be far in the 46 future) and we no longer tiebreak by future-ness of the date when 47 48 (1) ISO-like format is used, and 49 (2) the string can make sense interpreted as both y-m-d and y-d-m. 50 51 Git may still have to use the heuristics to tiebreak between dd/mm/yy 52 and mm/dd/yy, though. 53 54 * The code to abbreviate an object name to its short unique prefix 55 has been optimized when no abbreviation was requested. 56 57 * "git add --ignore-errors ..." did not ignore an error to 58 give a file that did not exist. 59 60 * Git did not correctly read an overlong refname from a packed refs 61 file. 62 63Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
