+Git v1.8.2 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Backward compatibility notes
5
+----------------------------
6
+
7
+In the upcoming major release (tentatively called 1.8.2), we will
8
+change the behavior of the "git push" command.
9
+
10
+When "git push [$there]" does not say what to push, we have used the
11
+traditional "matching" semantics so far (all your branches were sent
12
+to the remote as long as there already are branches of the same name
13
+over there). We will use the "simple" semantics that pushes the
14
+current branch to the branch with the same name, only when the current
15
+branch is set to integrate with that remote branch. There is a user
16
+preference configuration variable "push.default" to change this.

+Fixes since v1.8.1
38
+------------------
39
+
40
+Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.8.1 in the maintenance
41
+track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
42
+details).
43
+
44
+ * An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the
45
+ real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused
46
+ the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling.
47
+ (merge 059b379 mh/ceiling later to maint).
48
+
49
+ * t4014, t9502 and t0200 tests had various portability issues that
50
+ broke on OpenBSD.
51
+ (merge 27f6342 jc/maint-test-portability later to maint).
52
+
53
+ * t9020 and t3600 tests had various portability issues.
54
+ (merge 5a02966 jc/test-portability later to maint).
55
+
56
+ * t9200 runs "cvs init" on a directory that already exists, but a
57
+ platform can configure this fail for the current user (e.g. you
58
+ need to be in the cvsadmin group on NetBSD 6.0).
59
+ (merge 8666df0 jc/test-cvs-no-init-in-existing-dir later to maint).
60
+
61
+ * After failing to create a temporary file using mkstemp(), failing
62
+ pathname was not reported correctly on some platforms.
63
+ (merge f7be59b jc/mkstemp-more-careful-error-reporting later to maint).
64
+
65
+ * The way "git svn" asked for password using SSH_ASKPASS and
66
+ GIT_ASKPASS was not in line with the rest of the system.
67
+ (merge e9263e4 ss/svn-prompt later to maint).
68
+
69
+ * The --graph code fell into infinite loop when asked to do what the
70
+ code did not expect.
71
+ (merge 656197a mk/maint-graph-infinity-loop later to maint).
72
+
73
+ * http transport was wrong to ask for the username when the
74
+ authentication is done by certificate identity.
75
+ (merge 75e9a40 rb/http-cert-cred-no-username-prompt later to maint).
76
+
77
+ * "git pack-refs" that ran in parallel to another process that
78
+ created new refs had a nasty race.
79
+ (merge b3f1280 jk/repack-ref-racefix later to maint).
80
+
81
+ * After "git add -N" and then writing a tree object out of the
82
+ index, the cache-tree data structure got corrupted.
83
+ (merge eec3e7e nd/invalidate-i-t-a-cache-tree later to maint).
84
+
85
+ * "gitweb", when sorting by age to show repositories with new
86
+ activities first, used to sort repositories with absolutely
87
+ nothing in it early, which was not very useful.
88
+ (merge 28dae18 md/gitweb-sort-by-age later to maint).
89
+
90
+ * When a line to be wrapped has a solid run of non space characters
91
+ whose length exactly is the wrap width, "git shortlog -w" failed
92
+ to add a newline after such a line.
93
+ (merge e0db176 sp/shortlog-missing-lf later to maint).
94
+
95
+ * Some shells do not behave correctly when IFS is unset; work it
96
+ around by explicitly setting it to the default value.
97
+ (merge 393050c jc/maint-fbsd-sh-ifs-workaround later to maint).
