+Fixes since v1.7.8
5
+------------------
6
7
* In some codepaths (notably, checkout and merge), the ignore patterns
8
recorded in $GIT_DIR/info/exclude were not honored. They now are.
9
10
- * After fetching from a remote that has very long refname, the reporting
11
- output could have corrupted by overrunning a static buffer.
10
+ * "git apply --check" did not error out when given an empty input
11
+ without any patch.
12
+
13
+ * "git archive" mistakenly allowed remote clients to ask for commits
14
+ that are not at the tip of any ref.
15
16
* "git checkout" and "git merge" treated in-tree .gitignore and exclude
17
file in $GIT_DIR/info/ directory inconsistently when deciding which
18
untracked files are ignored and expendable.
19
20
+ * LF-to-CRLF streaming filter used when checking out a large-ish blob
21
+ fell into an infinite loop with a rare input.
22
+
23
+ * The function header pattern for files with "diff=cpp" attribute did
24
+ not consider "type *funcname(type param1,..." as the beginning of a
25
+ function.
26
+
27
+ * The error message from "git diff" and "git status" when they fail
28
+ to inspect changes in submodules did not report which submodule they
29
+ had trouble with.
30
+
31
+ * After fetching from a remote that has very long refname, the reporting
32
+ output could have corrupted by overrunning a static buffer.
33
+
34
+ * "git pack-objects" avoids creating cyclic dependencies among deltas
35
+ when seeing a broken packfile that records the same object in both
36
+ the deflated form and as a delta.
