Git v1.7.11.3 Release Notes
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.11.3
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
* The error message from "git push $there :bogo" (and its equivalent
|
|
"git push $there --delete bogo") mentioned that we tried and failed
|
|
to guess what ref is being deleted based on the LHS of the refspec,
|
|
which we don't.
|
|
|
|
* A handful of files and directories we create had tighter than
|
|
necessary permission bits when the user wanted to have group
|
|
writability (e.g. by setting "umask 002").
|
|
|
|
* "commit --amend" used to refuse amending a commit with an empty log
|
|
message, with or without "--allow-empty-message".
|
|
|
|
* "git commit --amend --only --" was meant to allow "Clever" people to
|
|
rewrite the commit message without making any change even when they
|
|
have already changes for the next commit added to their index, but
|
|
it never worked as advertised since it was introduced in 1.3.0 era.
|
|
|
|
* Even though the index can record pathnames longer than 1<<12 bytes,
|
|
in some places we were not comparing them in full, potentially
|
|
replacing index entries instead of adding.
|
|
|
|
* "git show"'s auto-walking behaviour was an unreliable and
|
|
unpredictable hack; it now behaves just like "git log" does when it
|
|
walks.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff", "git status" and anything that internally uses the
|
|
comparison machinery was utterly broken when the difference
|
|
involved a file with "-" as its name. This was due to the way "git
|
|
diff --no-index" was incorrectly bolted on to the system, making
|
|
any comparison that involves a file "-" at the root level
|
|
incorrectly read from the standard input.
|
|
|
|
* We did not have test to make sure "git rebase" without extra options
|
|
filters out an empty commit in the original history.
|
|
|
|
* "git fast-export" produced an input stream for fast-import without
|
|
properly quoting pathnames when they contain SPs in them.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout --detach", when you are still on an unborn branch,
|
|
should be forbidden, but it wasn't.
|
|
|
|
* Some implementations of Perl terminates "lines" with CRLF even when
|
|
the script is operating on just a sequence of bytes. Make sure to
|
|
use "$PERL_PATH", the version of Perl the user told Git to use, in
|
|
our tests to avoid unnecessary breakages in tests.
|
|
|
|
Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates.
