Git v1.7.9.1 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.9
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* The makefile allowed environment variable X seep into it result in
|
|
command names suffixed with unnecessary strings.
|
|
|
|
* The set of included header files in compat/inet-{ntop,pton}
|
|
wrappers was updated for Windows some time ago, but in a way that
|
|
broke Solaris build.
|
|
|
|
* rpmbuild noticed an unpackaged but installed *.mo file and failed.
|
|
|
|
* Subprocesses spawned from various git programs were often left running
|
|
to completion even when the top-level process was killed.
|
|
|
|
* "git add -e" learned not to show a diff for an otherwise unmodified
|
|
submodule that only has uncommitted local changes in the patch
|
|
prepared by for the user to edit.
|
|
|
|
* Typo in "git branch --edit-description my-tpoic" was not diagnosed.
|
|
|
|
* Using "git grep -l/-L" together with options -W or --break may not
|
|
make much sense as the output is to only count the number of hits
|
|
and there is no place for file breaks, but the latter options made
|
|
"-l/-L" to miscount the hits.
|
|
|
|
* "git log --first-parent $pathspec" did not stay on the first parent
|
|
chain and veered into side branch from which the whole change to the
|
|
specified paths came.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge --no-edit $tag" failed to honor the --no-edit option.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge --ff-only $tag" failed because it cannot record the
|
|
required mergetag without creating a merge, but this is so common
|
|
operation for branch that is used _only_ to follow the upstream, so
|
|
it was changed to allow fast-forwarding without recording the mergetag.
|
|
|
|
* "git mergetool" now gives an empty file as the common base version
|
|
to the backend when dealing with the "both sides added, differently"
|
|
case.
|
|
|
|
* "git push -q" was not sufficiently quiet.
|
|
|
|
* When "git push" fails to update any refs, the client side did not
|
|
report an error correctly to the end user.
|
|
|
|
* "rebase" and "commit --amend" failed to work on commits with ancient
|
|
timestamps near year 1970.
|
|
|
|
* When asking for a tag to be pulled, "request-pull" did not show the
|
|
name of the tag prefixed with "tags/", which would have helped older
|
|
clients.
|
|
|
|
* "git submodule add $path" forgot to recompute the name to be stored
|
|
in .gitmodules when the submodule at $path was once added to the
|
|
superproject and already initialized.
|
|
|
|
* Many small corner case bugs on "git tag -n" was corrected.
|
|
|
|
Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
