| 1 | Git v2.3.8 Release Notes |
| 2 | ======================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v2.3.7 |
| 5 | ------------------ |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * The usual "git diff" when seeing a file turning into a directory |
| 8 | showed a patchset to remove the file and create all files in the |
| 9 | directory, but "git diff --no-index" simply refused to work. Also, |
| 10 | when asked to compare a file and a directory, imitate POSIX "diff" |
| 11 | and compare the file with the file with the same name in the |
| 12 | directory, instead of refusing to run. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * The default $HOME/.gitconfig file created upon "git config --global" |
| 15 | that edits it had incorrectly spelled user.name and user.email |
| 16 | entries in it. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | * "git commit --date=now" or anything that relies on approxidate lost |
| 19 | the daylight-saving-time offset. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code |
| 22 | clean-ups. |
