221

222

235

239

240
+ e.g. "@", and ":", have been fixed.
241

243
+ * "git clone" would fail to clone from a repository that has a ref
244
+ directly under "refs/", e.g. "refs/stash", because different

249
+ * "git log --left-right A...B" lost the "leftness" of commits
250
+ reachable from A when A is a tag as a side effect of a recent
251
+ bugfix. This is a regression in 1.8.4.x series.

264
* "submodule.*.update=checkout", when propagated from .gitmodules to

.git/config, turned into a "submodule.*.update=none", which did not

make much sense.
