------------------

7
+ * The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be
8
+ applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the
9
+ exclude mechanism does.
10
+
11
+ * When attempting to read the XDG-style $HOME/.config/git/config and
12
+ finding that $HOME/.config/git is a file, we gave a wrong error
13
+ message, instead of treating the case as "a custom config file does
14
+ not exist there" and moving on.
15
+
16
* After failing to create a temporary file using mkstemp(), failing
17
pathname was not reported correctly on some platforms.
18
19
* http transport was wrong to ask for the username when the
20
authentication is done by certificate identity.
21
22
+ * The behaviour visible to the end users was confusing, when they
23
+ attempt to kill a process spawned in the editor that was in turn
24
+ launched by Git with SIGINT (or SIGQUIT), as Git would catch that
25
+ signal and die. We ignore these signals now.
26
+
27
+ * A child process that was killed by a signal (e.g. SIGINT) was
28
+ reported in an inconsistent way depending on how the process was
29
+ spawned by us, with or without a shell in between.
30
+
31
* After "git add -N" and then writing a tree object out of the
32
index, the cache-tree data structure got corrupted.
33
34
+ * "git apply" misbehaved when fixing whitespace breakages by removing
35
+ excess trailing blank lines in some corner cases.
36
+
37
+ * A tar archive created by "git archive" recorded a directory in a
38
+ way that made NetBSD's implementation of "tar" sometimes unhappy.
39
+
40
+ * When "git clone --separate-git-dir=$over_there" is interrupted, it
41
+ failed to remove the real location of the $GIT_DIR it created.
42
+ This was most visible when interrupting a submodule update.
43
+
44
+ * "git fetch --mirror" and fetch that uses other forms of refspec
45
+ with wildcard used to attempt to update a symbolic ref that match
46
+ the wildcard on the receiving end, which made little sense (the
47
+ real ref that is pointed at by the symbolic ref would be updated
48
+ anyway). Symbolic refs no longer are affected by such a fetch.
49
+
50
+ * The "log --graph" codepath fell into infinite loop in some
51
+ corner cases.
52
+
53
+ * "git merge" started calling prepare-commit-msg hook like "git
54
+ commit" does some time ago, but forgot to pay attention to the exit
55
+ status of the hook.
56
+
57
* "git pack-refs" that ran in parallel to another process that
58
created new refs had a race that can lose new ones.
