Git v1.8.0.1 Release Notes
|
||
|
|
==========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixes since v1.8.0
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The configuration parser had an unnecessary hardcoded limit on
|
||
|
|
variable names that was not checked consistently.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The "say" function in the test scaffolding incorrectly allowed
|
||
|
|
"echo" to interpret "\a" as if it were a C-string asking for a
|
||
|
|
BEL output.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git mergetool" feeds /dev/null as a common ancestor when dealing
|
||
|
|
with an add/add conflict, but p4merge backend cannot handle
|
||
|
|
it. Work it around by passing a temporary empty file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git log -F -E --grep='<ere>'" failed to use the given <ere>
|
||
|
|
pattern as extended regular expression, and instead looked for the
|
||
|
|
string literally.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git grep -e pattern <tree>" asked the attribute system to read
|
||
|
|
"<tree>:.gitattributes" file in the working tree, which was
|
||
|
|
nonsense.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A symbolic ref refs/heads/SYM was not correctly removed with "git
|
||
|
|
branch -d SYM"; the command removed the ref pointed by SYM
|
||
|
|
instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Earlier we fixed documentation to hyphenate "remote-tracking branch"
|
||
|
|
to clarify that these are not a remote entity, but unhyphenated
|
||
|
|
spelling snuck in to a few places since then.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git pull --rebase" run while the HEAD is detached tried to find
|
||
|
|
the upstream branch of the detached HEAD (which by definition
|
||
|
|
does not exist) and emitted unnecessary error messages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The refs/replace hierarchy was not mentioned in the
|
||
|
|
repository-layout docs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Sometimes curl_multi_timeout() function suggested a wrong timeout
|
||
|
|
value when there is no file descriptors to wait on and the http
|
||
|
|
transport ended up sleeping for minutes in select(2) system call.
|
||
|
|
A workaround has been added for this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
