+Git v1.8.0.1 Release Notes
2
+==========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v1.8.0
5
+------------------
6
+
7
+ * The configuration parser had an unnecessary hardcoded limit on
8
+ variable names that was not checked consistently.
9
+
10
+ * The "say" function in the test scaffolding incorrectly allowed
11
+ "echo" to interpret "\a" as if it were a C-string asking for a
12
+ BEL output.
13
+
14
+ * "git mergetool" feeds /dev/null as a common ancestor when dealing
15
+ with an add/add conflict, but p4merge backend cannot handle
16
+ it. Work it around by passing a temporary empty file.
17
+
18
+ * "git log -F -E --grep='<ere>'" failed to use the given <ere>
19
+ pattern as extended regular expression, and instead looked for the
20
+ string literally.
21
+
22
+ * "git grep -e pattern <tree>" asked the attribute system to read
23
+ "<tree>:.gitattributes" file in the working tree, which was
24
+ nonsense.
25
+
26
+ * A symbolic ref refs/heads/SYM was not correctly removed with "git
27
+ branch -d SYM"; the command removed the ref pointed by SYM
28
+ instead.
29
+
30
+ * Earlier we fixed documentation to hyphenate "remote-tracking branch"
31
+ to clarify that these are not a remote entity, but unhyphenated
32
+ spelling snuck in to a few places since then.
33
+
34
+ * "git pull --rebase" run while the HEAD is detached tried to find
35
+ the upstream branch of the detached HEAD (which by definition
36
+ does not exist) and emitted unnecessary error messages.
37
+
38
+ * The refs/replace hierarchy was not mentioned in the
39
+ repository-layout docs.
40
+
41
+ * Sometimes curl_multi_timeout() function suggested a wrong timeout
42
+ value when there is no file descriptors to wait on and the http
43
+ transport ended up sleeping for minutes in select(2) system call.
44
+ A workaround has been added for this.
45
+
46
+Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates.
