| 1 | Git v2.0.2 Release Notes |
| 2 | ======================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | * Documentation for "git submodule sync" forgot to say that the subcommand |
| 5 | can take the "--recursive" option. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * Mishandling of patterns in .gitignore that has trailing SPs quoted |
| 8 | with backslashes (e.g. ones that end with "\ ") have been |
| 9 | corrected. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * Recent updates to "git repack" started to duplicate objects that |
| 12 | are in packfiles marked with .keep flag into the new packfile by |
| 13 | mistake. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * "git clone -b brefs/tags/bar" would have mistakenly thought we were |
| 16 | following a single tag, even though it was a name of the branch, |
| 17 | because it incorrectly used strstr(). |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * "%G" (nothing after G) is an invalid pretty format specifier, but |
| 20 | the parser did not notice it as garbage. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * Code to avoid adding the same alternate object store twice was |
| 23 | subtly broken for a long time, but nobody seems to have noticed. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * A handful of code paths had to read the commit object more than |
| 26 | once when showing header fields that are usually not parsed. The |
| 27 | internal data structure to keep track of the contents of the commit |
| 28 | object has been updated to reduce the need for this double-reading, |
| 29 | and to allow the caller find the length of the object. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * During "git rebase --merge", a conflicted patch could not be |
| 32 | skipped with "--skip" if the next one also conflicted. |
