   1Git v1.8.4.3 Release Notes
   2========================
   3
   4Fixes since v1.8.4.2
   5--------------------
   6
   7 * "git rev-list --objects ^v1.0^ v1.0" gave v1.0 tag itself in the
   8   output, but "git rev-list --objects v1.0^..v1.0" did not.
   9
  10 * The fall-back parsing of commit objects with broken author or
  11   committer lines were less robust than ideal in picking up the
  12   timestamps.
  13
  14 * Bash prompting code to deal with an SVN remote as an upstream
  15   were coded in a way not supported by older Bash versions (3.x).
  16
  17 * "git checkout topic", when there is not yet a local "topic" branch
  18   but there is a unique remote-tracking branch for a remote "topic"
  19   branch, pretended as if "git checkout -t -b topic remote/$r/topic"
  20   (for that unique remote $r) was run. This hack however was not
  21   implemented for "git checkout topic --".
  22
  23 * Coloring around octopus merges in "log --graph" output was screwy.
  24
  25 * We did not generate HTML version of documentation to "git subtree"
  26   in contrib/.
  27
  28 * The synopsis section of "git unpack-objects" documentation has been
  29   clarified a bit.
  30
  31 * An ancient How-To on serving Git repositories on an HTTP server
  32   lacked a warning that it has been mostly superseded with more
  33   modern way.
  34
  35Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation
  36updates, updates to the test suite, etc.
