| 1 | Git 1.8.1.6 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================= |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.8.1.5 |
| 5 | -------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * An earlier change to the attribute system introduced at v1.8.1.2 by |
| 8 | mistake stopped a pattern "dir" (without trailing slash) from |
| 9 | matching a directory "dir" (it only wanted to allow pattern "dir/" |
| 10 | to also match). |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * The code to keep track of what directory names are known to Git on |
| 13 | platforms with case insensitive filesystems can get confused upon a |
| 14 | hash collision between these pathnames and looped forever. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * When the "--prefix" option is used to "checkout-index", the code |
| 17 | did not pick the correct output filter based on the attribute |
| 18 | setting. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * Annotated tags outside refs/tags/ hierarchy were not advertised |
| 21 | correctly to the ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of |
| 24 | files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the |
| 25 | common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * "git update-index -h" did not do the usual "-h(elp)" thing. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | * perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it |
| 30 | out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | * The SSL peer verification done by "git imap-send" did not ask for |
| 33 | Server Name Indication (RFC 4366), failing to connect SSL/TLS |
| 34 | sites that serve multiple hostnames on a single IP. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | * "git bundle verify" did not say "records a complete history" for a |
| 37 | bundle that does not have any prerequisites. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Also contains various documentation fixes. |
