| 1 | +Git v1.7.11.3 Release Notes |
| 2 | +=========================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Fixes since v1.7.11.3 |
| 5 | +--------------------- |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | + * The error message from "git push $there :bogo" (and its equivalent |
| 8 | + "git push $there --delete bogo") mentioned that we tried and failed |
| 9 | + to guess what ref is being deleted based on the LHS of the refspec, |
| 10 | + which we don't. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | + * A handful of files and directories we create had tighter than |
| 13 | + necessary permission bits when the user wanted to have group |
| 14 | + writability (e.g. by setting "umask 002"). |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + * "commit --amend" used to refuse amending a commit with an empty log |
| 17 | + message, with or without "--allow-empty-message". |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | + * "git commit --amend --only --" was meant to allow "Clever" people to |
| 20 | + rewrite the commit message without making any change even when they |
| 21 | + have already changes for the next commit added to their index, but |
| 22 | + it never worked as advertised since it was introduced in 1.3.0 era. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + * Even though the index can record pathnames longer than 1<<12 bytes, |
| 25 | + in some places we were not comparing them in full, potentially |
| 26 | + replacing index entries instead of adding. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + * "git show"'s auto-walking behaviour was an unreliable and |
| 29 | + unpredictable hack; it now behaves just like "git log" does when it |
| 30 | + walks. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + * "git diff", "git status" and anything that internally uses the |
| 33 | + comparison machinery was utterly broken when the difference |
| 34 | + involved a file with "-" as its name. This was due to the way "git |
| 35 | + diff --no-index" was incorrectly bolted on to the system, making |
| 36 | + any comparison that involves a file "-" at the root level |
| 37 | + incorrectly read from the standard input. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + * We did not have test to make sure "git rebase" without extra options |
| 40 | + filters out an empty commit in the original history. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + * "git fast-export" produced an input stream for fast-import without |
| 43 | + properly quoting pathnames when they contain SPs in them. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + * "git checkout --detach", when you are still on an unborn branch, |
| 46 | + should be forbidden, but it wasn't. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | + * Some implementations of Perl terminates "lines" with CRLF even when |
| 49 | + the script is operating on just a sequence of bytes. Make sure to |
| 50 | + use "$PERL_PATH", the version of Perl the user told Git to use, in |
| 51 | + our tests to avoid unnecessary breakages in tests. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates. |
