+Git v1.8.4.1 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v1.8.4
5
+------------------
6
+
7
+ * Some people still use rather old versions of bash, which cannot
8
+ grok some constructs like 'printf -v varname' the prompt and
9
+ completion code started to use recently. The completion and
10
+ prompt scripts have been adjusted to work better with these old
11
+ versions of bash.
12
+
13
+ * "git rebase -i" had a minor bug (the same could be in other
14
+ programs, as the root cause is pretty generic) where the code
15
+ feeds a random, data dependeant string to 'echo' and expects it
16
+ to come out literally.
17
+
18
+ * "submodule.<name>.path" variable mistakenly set to the empty
19
+ "true" caused the configuration parser to segfault.
20
+
21
+ * Output from "git log --full-diff -- <pathspec>" looked strange,
22
+ because comparison was done with the previous ancestor that
23
+ touched the specified <pathspec>, causing the patches for paths
24
+ outside the pathspec to show more than the single commit has
25
+ changed.
26
+
27
+ * The auto-tag-following code in "git fetch" tries to reuse the
28
+ same transport twice when the serving end does not cooperate and
29
+ does not give tags that point to commits that are asked for as
30
+ part of the primary transfer. Unfortunately, Git-aware transport
31
+ helper interface is not designed to be used more than once, hence
32
+ this did not work over smart-http transfer. Fixed.
33
+
34
+ * Send a large request to read(2)/write(2) as a smaller but still
35
+ reasonably large chunks, which would improve the latency when the
36
+ operation needs to be killed and incidentally works around broken
37
+ 64-bit systems that cannot take a 2GB write or read in one go.
38
+
39
+ * A ".mailmap" file that ends with an incomplete line, when read
40
+ from a blob, was not handled properly.
41
+
42
+ * The recent "short-cut clone connectivity check" topic broke a
43
+ shallow repository when a fetch operation tries to auto-follow
44
+ tags.
45
+
46
+ * On platforms with fgetc() and friends defined as macros,
47
+ the configuration parser did not compile.
48
+
49
+Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation
50
+updates, updates to the test suite, etc.
