| 1 | Git v1.9.1 Release Notes |
| 2 | ======================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.9.0 |
| 5 | ------------------ |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * "git clean -d pathspec" did not use the given pathspec correctly |
| 8 | and ended up cleaning too much. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | * "git difftool" misbehaved when the repository is bound to the |
| 11 | working tree with the ".git file" mechanism, where a textual file |
| 12 | ".git" tells us where it is. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * "git push" did not pay attention to branch.*.pushremote if it is |
| 15 | defined earlier than remote.pushdefault; the order of these two |
| 16 | variables in the configuration file should not matter, but it did |
| 17 | by mistake. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * Codepaths that parse timestamps in commit objects have been |
| 20 | tightened. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * "git diff --external-diff" incorrectly fed the submodule directory |
| 23 | in the working tree to the external diff driver when it knew it is |
| 24 | the same as one of the versions being compared. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | * "git reset" needs to refresh the index when working in a working |
| 27 | tree (it can also be used to match the index to the HEAD in an |
| 28 | otherwise bare repository), but it failed to set up the working |
| 29 | tree properly, causing GIT_WORK_TREE to be ignored. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * "git check-attr" when working on a repository with a working tree |
| 32 | did not work well when the working tree was specified via the |
| 33 | --work-tree (and obviously with --git-dir) option. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * "merge-recursive" was broken in 1.7.7 era and stopped working in |
| 36 | an empty (temporary) working tree, when there are renames |
| 37 | involved. This has been corrected. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | * "git rev-parse" was loose in rejecting command line arguments |
| 40 | that do not make sense, e.g. "--default" without the required |
| 41 | value for that option. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | * include.path variable (or any variable that expects a path that |
| 44 | can use ~username expansion) in the configuration file is not a |
| 45 | boolean, but the code failed to check it. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | * "git diff --quiet -- pathspec1 pathspec2" sometimes did not return |
| 48 | correct status value. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | * Attempting to deepen a shallow repository by fetching over smart |
| 51 | HTTP transport failed in the protocol exchange, when no-done |
| 52 | extension was used. The fetching side waited for the list of |
| 53 | shallow boundary commits after the sending end stopped talking to |
| 54 | it. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | * Allow "git cmd path/", when the 'path' is where a submodule is |
| 57 | bound to the top-level working tree, to match 'path', despite the |
| 58 | extra and unnecessary trailing slash (such a slash is often |
| 59 | given by command line completion). |
