| 1 | Git v1.7.11.2 Release Notes |
| 2 | =========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.7.11.1 |
| 5 | --------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * On Cygwin, the platform pread(2) is not thread safe, just like our |
| 8 | own compat/ emulation, and cannot be used in the index-pack |
| 9 | program. Makefile variable NO_THREAD_SAFE_PREAD can be defined to |
| 10 | avoid use of this function in a threaded program. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * "git add" allows adding a regular file to the path where a |
| 13 | submodule used to exist, but "git update-index" does not allow an |
| 14 | equivalent operation to Porcelain writers. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * "git archive" incorrectly computed the header checksum; the symptom |
| 17 | was observed only when using pathnames with hi-bit set. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * "git blame" did not try to make sure that the abbreviated commit |
| 20 | object names in its output are unique. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * Running "git bundle verify" on a bundle that records a complete |
| 23 | history said "it requires these 0 commits". |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * "git clone --single-branch" to clone a single branch did not limit |
| 26 | the cloning to the specified branch. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * "git diff --no-index" did not correctly handle relative paths and |
| 29 | did not correctly give exit codes when run under "--quiet" option. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * "git diff --no-index" did not work with pagers correctly. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | * "git diff COPYING HEAD:COPYING" gave a nonsense error message that |
| 34 | claimed that the tree-ish HEAD did not have COPYING in it. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | * When "git log" gets "--simplify-merges/by-decoration" together with |
| 37 | "--first-parent", the combination of these options makes the |
| 38 | simplification logic to use in-core commit objects that haven't |
| 39 | been examined for relevance, either producing incorrect result or |
| 40 | taking too long to produce any output. Teach the simplification |
| 41 | logic to ignore commits that the first-parent traversal logic |
| 42 | ignored when both are in effect to work around the issue. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | * "git ls-files --exclude=t -i" did not consider anything under t/ as |
| 45 | excluded, as it did not pay attention to exclusion of leading paths |
| 46 | while walking the index. Other two users of excluded() are also |
| 47 | updated. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | * "git request-pull $url dev" when the tip of "dev" branch was tagged |
| 50 | with "ext4-for-linus" used the contents from the tag in the output |
| 51 | but still asked the "dev" branch to be pulled, not the tag. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates. |
