| 1 | Git v1.7.9.2 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.7.9.1 |
| 5 | -------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not like a pattern that |
| 8 | begins with a dash to be passed to __git_ps1 helper function. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | * Adaptation of the bash completion script (in contrib/) for zsh |
| 11 | incorrectly listed all subcommands when "git <TAB><TAB>" was given |
| 12 | to ask for list of porcelain subcommands. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * The build procedure for profile-directed optimized binary was not |
| 15 | working very well. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | * Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset(). |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was |
| 22 | not phrased correctly. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | * The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal |
| 25 | input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X |
| 26 | with GUI askpass helper). |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when |
| 29 | they are invoked with the pager, i.e. "git -p cmd". |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted |
| 32 | in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed |
| 33 | excess '>' at the end of email addresses. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, "git clone .../foo" did not |
| 38 | favor the former but the latter. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | * "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with |
| 41 | "add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content |
| 42 | in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without |
| 43 | these paths. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | * "git diff --stat" said "files", "insertions", and "deletions" even |
| 46 | when it is showing one "file", one "insertion" or one "deletion". |
| 47 | |
| 48 | * The output from "git diff --stat" for two paths that have the same |
| 49 | amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the |
| 50 | way we handled rounding errors. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | * "git grep" did not pay attention to -diff (hence -binary) attribute. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | * The transport programs (fetch, push, clone)ignored --no-progress |
| 55 | and showed progress when sending their output to a terminal. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of |
| 58 | "git receive-pack" (the other end of "git push") was lost by later |
| 59 | checks, resulting in false indication of success. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | * "git rev-list --verify" sometimes skipped verification depending on |
| 62 | the phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | * Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | * Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file |
| 67 | correctly. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates. |
