Git v1.8.5.6 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.8.5.5
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* We used to allow committing a path ".Git/config" with Git that is
|
|
running on a case sensitive filesystem, but an attempt to check out
|
|
such a path with Git that runs on a case insensitive filesystem
|
|
would have clobbered ".git/config", which is definitely not what
|
|
the user would have expected. Git now prevents you from tracking
|
|
a path with ".Git" (in any case combination) as a path component.
|
|
|
|
* On Windows, certain path components that are different from ".git"
|
|
are mapped to ".git", e.g. "git~1/config" is treated as if it were
|
|
".git/config". HFS+ has a similar issue, where certain unicode
|
|
codepoints are ignored, e.g. ".g\u200cit/config" is treated as if
|
|
it were ".git/config". Pathnames with these potential issues are
|
|
rejected on the affected systems. Git on systems that are not
|
|
affected by this issue (e.g. Linux) can also be configured to
|
|
reject them to ensure cross platform interoperability of the hosted
|
|
projects.
|
|
|
|
* "git fsck" notices a tree object that records such a path that can
|
|
be confused with ".git", and with receive.fsckObjects configuration
|
|
set to true, an attempt to "git push" such a tree object will be
|
|
rejected. Such a path may not be a problem on a well behaving
|
|
filesystem but in order to protect those on HFS+ and on case
|
|
insensitive filesystems, this check is enabled on all platforms.
|
|
|
|
A big "thanks!" for bringing this issue to us goes to our friends in
|
|
the Mercurial land, namely, Matt Mackall and Augie Fackler.
|
|
|
|
Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
