+Git v2.4.1 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v2.4
5
+----------------
6
+
7
+ * The usual "git diff" when seeing a file turning into a directory
8
+ showed a patchset to remove the file and create all files in the
9
+ directory, but "git diff --no-index" simply refused to work. Also,
10
+ when asked to compare a file and a directory, imitate POSIX "diff"
11
+ and compare the file with the file with the same name in the
12
+ directory, instead of refusing to run.
13
+
14
+ * The default $HOME/.gitconfig file created upon "git config --global"
15
+ that edits it had incorrectly spelled user.name and user.email
16
+ entries in it.
17
+
18
+ * "git commit --date=now" or anything that relies on approxidate lost
19
+ the daylight-saving-time offset.
20
+
21
+ * "git cat-file bl $blob" failed to barf even though there is no
22
+ object type that is "bl".
23
+
24
+ * Teach the codepaths that read .gitignore and .gitattributes files
25
+ that these files encoded in UTF-8 may have UTF-8 BOM marker at the
26
+ beginning; this makes it in line with what we do for configuration
27
+ files already.
28
+
29
+ * Access to objects in repositories that borrow from another one on a
30
+ slow NFS server unnecessarily got more expensive due to recent code
31
+ becoming more cautious in a naive way not to lose objects to pruning.
32
+
33
+ * We avoid setting core.worktree when the repository location is the
34
+ ".git" directory directly at the top level of the working tree, but
35
+ the code misdetected the case in which the working tree is at the
36
+ root level of the filesystem (which arguably is a silly thing to
37
+ do, but still valid).
38
+
39
+Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
40
+clean-ups.
