+Git 1.7.12.1 Release Notes
2
+==========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v1.7.12
5
+-------------------
6
+
7
+ * "ciabot" script (in contrib/) has been updated with extensive
8
+ documentation.
9
+
10
+ * The "--rebase" option to "git pull" can be abbreviated to "-r",
11
+ but we didn't document it.
12
+
13
+ * It was generally understood that "--long-option"s to many of our
14
+ subcommands can be abbreviated to the unique prefix, but it was not
15
+ easy to find it described for new readers of the documentation set.
16
+
17
+ * The "--topo-order", "--date-order" (and the lack of either means
18
+ the default order) options to "rev-list" and "log" family of
19
+ commands were poorly described in the documentation.
20
+
21
+ * Older parts of the documentation described as if having a regular
22
+ file in .git/refs/ hierarchy were the only way to have branches and
23
+ tags, which is not true for quite some time.
24
+
25
+ * A utility shell function test_seq has been added as a replacement
26
+ for the 'seq' utility found on some platforms.
27
+
28
+ * Fallback 'getpass' implementation made unportable use of stdio API.
29
+
30
+ * "git commit --amend" let the user edit the log message and then
31
+ died when the human-readable committer name was given
32
+ insufficiently by getpwent(3).
33
+
34
+ * "git prune" without "-v" used to warn about leftover temporary
35
+ files (which is an indication of an earlier aborted operation).
36
+
37
+ * The reflog entries left by "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" were
38
+ inconsistent (the interactive one gave an abbreviated object name).
39
+
40
+ * When the user exports a non-default IFS without HT, scripts that
41
+ rely on being able to parse "ls-files -s | while read a b c..."
42
+ started to fail. Protect them from such a misconfiguration.
43
+
44
+ * When "git push" triggered the automatic gc on the receiving end, a
45
+ message from "git prune" that said it was removing cruft leaked to
46
+ the standard output, breaking the communication protocol.
47
+
48
+ * "git diff" had a confusion between taking data from a path in the
49
+ working tree and taking data from an object that happens to have
50
+ name 0{40} recorded in a tree.
51
+
52
+ * "git send-email" did not unquote encoded words that appear on the
53
+ header correctly, and lost "_" from strings.
54
+
55
+ * When the user gives an argument that can be taken as both a
56
+ revision name and a pathname without disambiguating with "--", we
57
+ used to give a help message "Use '--' to separate". The message
58
+ has been clarified to show where that '--' goes on the command
59
+ line.
60
+
61
+ * "gitweb" when used with PATH_INFO failed to notice directories with
62
+ SP (and other characters that need URL-style quoting) in them.
