1Git v1.8.2.1 Release Notes 2========================== 3 4Fixes since v1.8.2 5------------------ 6 7 * "git submodule update", when recursed into sub-submodules, did not 8 acccumulate the prefix paths. 9 10 * "git am $maildir/" applied messages in an unexpected order; sort 11 filenames read from the maildir/ in a way that is more likely to 12 sort messages in the order the writing MUA meant to, by sorting 13 numeric segment in numeric order and non-numeric segment in 14 alphabetical order. 15 16 * When export-subst is used, "zip" output recorded incorrect 17 size of the file. 18 19 * Some platforms and users spell UTF-8 differently; retry with the 20 most official "UTF-8" when the system does not understand the 21 user-supplied encoding name that are the common alternative 22 spellings of UTF-8. 23 24 * "git branch" did not bother to check nonsense command line 25 parameters and issue errors in many cases. 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 index-pack" had a buffer-overflow while preparing an 37 informational message when the translated version of it was too 38 long. 39 40 * Clarify in the documentation "what" gets pushed to "where" when the 41 command line to "git push" does not say these explicitly. 42 43 * In "git reflog expire", REACHABLE bit was not cleared from the 44 correct objects. 45 46 * The "--color=<when>" argument to the commands in the diff family 47 was described poorly. 48 49 * The arguments given to pre-rebase hook were not documented. 50 51 * The v4 index format was not documented. 52 53 * The "--match=<pattern>" argument "git describe" takes uses glob 54 pattern but it wasn't obvious from the documentation. 55 56 * Some sources failed to compile on systems that lack NI_MAXHOST in 57 their system header (e.g. z/OS). 58 59 * Add an example use of "--env-filter" in "filter-branch" 60 documentation. 61 62 * "git bundle verify" did not say "records a complete history" for a 63 bundle that does not have any prerequisites. 64 65 * In the v1.8.0 era, we changed symbols that do not have to be global 66 to file scope static, but a few functions in graph.c were used by 67 CGit from sideways bypassing the entry points of the API the 68 in-tree users use. 69 70 * "git merge-tree" had a typo in the logic to detect d/f conflicts, 71 which caused it to segfault in some cases.
