Fixes since v1.7.7
5
------------------
6
7
+ * On some BSD systems, adding +s bit on directories is detrimental
8
+ (it is not necessary on BSD to begin with). The installation
9
+ procedure has been updated to take this into account.
10
+
11
+ * After incorrectly written third-party tools store a tag object in
12
+ HEAD, git diagnosed it as a repository corruption and refused to
13
+ proceed in order to avoid spreading the damage. We now gracefully
14
+ recover from such a situation by pretending as if the commit that
15
+ is pointed at by the tag were in HEAD.
16
+
17
+ * "git apply --whitespace=error" did not bother to report the exact
18
+ line number in the patch that introduced new blank lines at the end
19
+ of the file.
20
+
21
+ * "git apply --index" did not check corrupted patch.
22
+
23
+ * "git checkout $tree $directory/" resurrected paths locally removed or
24
+ modified only in the working tree in $directory/ that did not appear
25
+ in $directory of the given $tree. They should have been kept intact.
26
+
27
* "git diff $tree $path" used to apply the pathspec at the output stage,
28
reading the whole tree, wasting resources.
