1Git v1.8.2.2 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.8.2.1 5-------------------- 6 7 * "git diff --diff-algorithm=algo" was understood by the command line 8 parser, but "git diff --diff-algorithm algo" was not. 9 10 * "git log -S/-G" started paying attention to textconv filter, but 11 there was no way to disable this. Make it honor --no-textconv 12 option. 13 14 * "git merge $(git rev-parse v1.8.2)" behaved quite differently from 15 "git merge v1.8.2", as if v1.8.2 were written as v1.8.2^0 and did 16 not pay much attention to the annotated tag payload. Make the code 17 notice the type of the tag object, in addition to the dwim_ref() 18 based classification the current code uses (i.e. the name appears 19 in refs/tags/) to decide when to special case merging of tags. 20 21 * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can take more than one commit 22 on the command line these days, but it was not mentioned on the usage 23 text. 24 25 * Perl scripts like "git-svn" closed (not redirecting to /dev/null) 26 the standard error stream, which is not a very smart thing to do. 27 Later open may return file descriptor #2 for unrelated purpose, and 28 error reporting code may write into them. 29 30 * "git apply --whitespace=fix" was not prepared to see a line getting 31 longer after fixing whitespaces (e.g. tab-in-indent aka Python). 32 33 * "git diff/log --cc" did not work well with options that ignore 34 whitespace changes. 35 36 * Documentation on setting up a http server that requires 37 authentication only on the push but not fetch has been clarified. 38 39 * A few bugfixes to "git rerere" working on corner case merge 40 conflicts have been applied. 41 42 * "git bundle" did not like a bundle created using a commit without 43 any message as its one of the prerequistes.
