Fixes since v1.7.9.1
5
--------------------
6
7
-* The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
8
- not phrased correctly.
7
+ * Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not like a pattern that
8
+ begins with a dash to be passed to __git_ps1 helper function.
9
10
-* The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
11
- input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
12
- with GUI askpass helper).
10
+ * Adaptation of the bash completion script (in contrib/) for zsh
11
+ incorrectly listed all subcommands when "git <TAB><TAB>" was given
12
+ to ask for list of porcelain subcommands.
13
14
-* map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
15
- in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
16
- excess '>' at the end of email addresses.
14
+ * The build procedure for profile-directed optimized binary was not
15
+ working very well.
16
18
-* "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.
17
+ * Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset().
18
20
-* "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
21
- "add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
22
- in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
23
- these paths.
19
+ * t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing.
20
25
-* Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
21
+ * The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
22
+ not phrased correctly.
23
27
-* Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file
28
- correctly.
24
+ * The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
25
+ input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
26
+ with GUI askpass helper).
27
+
28
+ * We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when
29
+ they are invoked with the pager, i.e. "git -p cmd".
30
+
31
+ * map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
32
+ in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
33
+ excess '>' at the end of email addresses.
34
+
35
+ * "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.
36
+
37
+ * When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, "git clone .../foo" did not
38
+ favor the former but the latter.
39
+
40
+ * "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
41
+ "add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
42
+ in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
43
+ these paths.
44
+
45
+ * "git diff --stat" said "files", "insertions", and "deletions" even
46
+ when it is showing one "file", one "insertion" or one "deletion".
47
+
48
+ * The output from "git diff --stat" for two paths that have the same
49
+ amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the
50
+ way we handled rounding errors.
51
+
52
+ * "git grep" did not pay attention to -diff (hence -binary) attribute.
53
+
54
+ * The transport programs (fetch, push, clone)ignored --no-progress
55
+ and showed progress when sending their output to a terminal.
56
+
57
+ * Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of
58
+ "git receive-pack" (the other end of "git push") was lost by later
59
+ checks, resulting in false indication of success.
60
+
61
+ * "git rev-list --verify" sometimes skipped verification depending on
62
+ the phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series.
63
+
64
+ * Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
65
+
66
+ * Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file
67
+ correctly.
