1Git 1.8.1.6 Release Notes 2========================= 3 4Fixes since v1.8.1.5 5-------------------- 6 7 * An earlier change to the attribute system introduced at v1.8.1.2 by 8 mistake stopped a pattern "dir" (without trailing slash) from 9 matching a directory "dir" (it only wanted to allow pattern "dir/" 10 to also match). 11 12 * The code to keep track of what directory names are known to Git on 13 platforms with case insensitive filesystems can get confused upon a 14 hash collision between these pathnames and looped forever. 15 16 * When the "--prefix" option is used to "checkout-index", the code 17 did not pick the correct output filter based on the attribute 18 setting. 19 20 * Annotated tags outside refs/tags/ hierarchy were not advertised 21 correctly to the ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git. 22 23 * The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of 24 files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the 25 common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped. 26 27 * "git update-index -h" did not do the usual "-h(elp)" thing. 28 29 * perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it 30 out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do. 31 32 * The SSL peer verification done by "git imap-send" did not ask for 33 Server Name Indication (RFC 4366), failing to connect SSL/TLS 34 sites that serve multiple hostnames on a single IP. 35 36 * "git bundle verify" did not say "records a complete history" for a 37 bundle that does not have any prerequisites. 38 39Also contains various documentation fixes.
