101
All of the fixes in v1.6.5.X maintenance series are included in this
102
release, unless otherwise noted.
103
79
- * "git apply" and "git diff" (including patch output from "git log -p")
80
- now flags trailing blank lines as whitespace errors correctly (only
81
- "apply --whitespace=fix" stripped them but "apply --whitespace=warn"
82
- did not even warn).
83
-
84
- * Two whitespace error classes, 'blank-at-eof' and 'blank-at-eol', have
85
- been introduced (settable by core.whitespace configuration variable and
86
- whitespace attribute). The 'trailing-space' whitespace error class has
87
- become a short-hand to cover both of these and there is no behaviour
88
- change for existing set-ups.
89
-
90
- * "git cvsimport" did not work well when it is fed filenames from the
91
- command line and is not started at the top of the work tree. We should
92
- backport this by merging f6fdbb6 (cvsimport: fix relative argument
93
- filenames, 2009-10-19).
94
-
95
- * The way gitweb escapes its CGI parameters were broken especially when
96
- the parameter was a UTF-8 string. We may want to backport this to
97
- 1.6.5.X series by merging 452e225 (gitweb: fix esc_param, 2009-10-13).
98
-
99
- * gitweb used to show 'patch' link for merge commits but the output from
100
- it is not usable to feed "git am" with. We may want to backport this
101
- to 1.6.5.X series by merging 1655c98 (gitweb: Do not show 'patch' link
102
- for merge commits, 2009-10-09).
