1 | Git v1.7.11.3 Release Notes |
2 | =========================== | |
3 | ||
4 | Fixes since v1.7.11.3 | |
5 | --------------------- | |
6 | ||
7 | * The error message from "git push $there :bogo" (and its equivalent | |
8 | "git push $there --delete bogo") mentioned that we tried and failed | |
9 | to guess what ref is being deleted based on the LHS of the refspec, | |
10 | which we don't. | |
11 | ||
12 | * A handful of files and directories we create had tighter than | |
13 | necessary permission bits when the user wanted to have group | |
14 | writability (e.g. by setting "umask 002"). | |
15 | ||
16 | * "commit --amend" used to refuse amending a commit with an empty log | |
17 | message, with or without "--allow-empty-message". | |
18 | ||
19 | * "git commit --amend --only --" was meant to allow "Clever" people to | |
20 | rewrite the commit message without making any change even when they | |
21 | have already changes for the next commit added to their index, but | |
22 | it never worked as advertised since it was introduced in 1.3.0 era. | |
23 | ||
24 | * Even though the index can record pathnames longer than 1<<12 bytes, | |
25 | in some places we were not comparing them in full, potentially | |
26 | replacing index entries instead of adding. | |
27 | ||
28 | * "git show"'s auto-walking behaviour was an unreliable and | |
29 | unpredictable hack; it now behaves just like "git log" does when it | |
30 | walks. | |
31 | ||
32 | * "git diff", "git status" and anything that internally uses the | |
33 | comparison machinery was utterly broken when the difference | |
34 | involved a file with "-" as its name. This was due to the way "git | |
35 | diff --no-index" was incorrectly bolted on to the system, making | |
36 | any comparison that involves a file "-" at the root level | |
37 | incorrectly read from the standard input. | |
38 | ||
39 | * We did not have test to make sure "git rebase" without extra options | |
40 | filters out an empty commit in the original history. | |
41 | ||
42 | * "git fast-export" produced an input stream for fast-import without | |
43 | properly quoting pathnames when they contain SPs in them. | |
44 | ||
45 | * "git checkout --detach", when you are still on an unborn branch, | |
46 | should be forbidden, but it wasn't. | |
47 | ||
48 | * Some implementations of Perl terminates "lines" with CRLF even when | |
49 | the script is operating on just a sequence of bytes. Make sure to | |
50 | use "$PERL_PATH", the version of Perl the user told Git to use, in | |
51 | our tests to avoid unnecessary breakages in tests. | |
52 | ||
53 | Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates. |
