1Git v1.7.9.2 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.7.9.1 5-------------------- 6 7* The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was 8 not phrased correctly. 9 10* The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal 11 input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X 12 with GUI askpass helper). 13 14* map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted 15 in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed 16 excess '>' at the end of email addresses. 17 18* "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch. 19 20* "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with 21 "add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content 22 in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without 23 these paths. 24 25* Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly. 26 27* Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file 28 correctly. 29 30Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
