1 | GIT v1.5.2.2 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | Fixes since v1.5.2.1 | |
| 5 | -------------------- | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | * Usability fix | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | - git-gui is shipped with its updated blame interface. It is | |
| 10 | rumored that the older one was not just unusable but was | |
| 11 | active health hazard, but this one is actually pretty. | |
| 12 | Please see for yourself. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | * Bugfixes | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | - "git checkout fubar" was utterly confused when there is a | |
| 17 | branch fubar and a tag fubar at the same time. It correctly | |
| 18 | checks out the branch fubar now. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | - "git clone /path/foo" to clone a local /path/foo.git | |
| 21 | repository left an incorrect configuration. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | - "git send-email" correctly unquotes RFC 2047 quoted names in | |
| 24 | the patch-email before using their values. | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | - We did not accept number of seconds since epoch older than | |
| 27 | year 2000 as a valid timestamp. We now interpret positive | |
| 28 | integers more than 8 digits as such, which allows us to | |
| 29 | express timestamps more recent than March 1973. | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | - git-cvsimport did not work when you have GIT_DIR to point | |
| 32 | your repository at a nonstandard location. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | - Some systems (notably, Solaris) lack hstrerror() to make | |
| 35 | h_errno human readable; prepare a replacement | |
| 36 | implementation. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | - .gitignore file listed git-core.spec but what we generate is | |
| 39 | git.spec, and nobody noticed for a long time. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | - "git-merge-recursive" does not try to run file level merge | |
| 42 | on binary files. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | - "git-branch --track" did not create tracking configuration | |
| 45 | correctly when the branch name had slash in it. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | - The email address of the user specified with user.email | |
| c0bc2eeb | 48 | configuration was overridden by EMAIL environment variable. |

49 | |
| 50 | - The tree parser did not warn about tree entries with | |
| 51 | nonsense file modes, and assumed they must be blobs. | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | - "git log -z" without any other request to generate diff still | |
| 54 | invoked the diff machinery, wasting cycles. | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | * Documentation | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | - Many updates to fix stale or missing documentation. | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | - Although our documentation was primarily meant to be formatted | |
| 61 | with AsciiDoc7, formatting with AsciiDoc8 is supported better. |
