44Fixes since v1.7.9.1
55--------------------
66
7- * The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
8- not phrased correctly .
7+ * Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not like a pattern that
8+ begins with a dash to be passed to __git_ps1 helper function .
99
10- * The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
11- input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
12- with GUI askpass helper) .
10+ * Adaptation of the bash completion script (in contrib/) for zsh
11+ incorrectly listed all subcommands when "git <TAB><TAB>" was given
12+ to ask for list of porcelain subcommands .
1313
14- * map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
15- in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
16- excess '>' at the end of email addresses.
14+ * The build procedure for profile-directed optimized binary was not
15+ working very well.
1716
18- * "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch .
17+ * Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset() .
1918
20- * "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
21- "add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
22- in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
23- these paths.
19+ * t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing.
2420
25- * Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
21+ * The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
22+ not phrased correctly.
2623
27- * Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file
28- correctly.
24+ * The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
25+ input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
26+ with GUI askpass helper).
27+
28+ * We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when
29+ they are invoked with the pager, i.e. "git -p cmd".
30+
31+ * map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
32+ in the user visible symptom that "git blame -e" sometimes showed
33+ excess '>' at the end of email addresses.
34+
35+ * "git checkout -b" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.
36+
37+ * When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, "git clone .../foo" did not
38+ favor the former but the latter.
39+
40+ * "git commit" refused to create a commit when entries added with
41+ "add -N" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
42+ in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
43+ these paths.
44+
45+ * "git diff --stat" said "files", "insertions", and "deletions" even
46+ when it is showing one "file", one "insertion" or one "deletion".
47+
48+ * The output from "git diff --stat" for two paths that have the same
49+ amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the
50+ way we handled rounding errors.
51+
52+ * "git grep" did not pay attention to -diff (hence -binary) attribute.
53+
54+ * The transport programs (fetch, push, clone)ignored --no-progress
55+ and showed progress when sending their output to a terminal.
56+
57+ * Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of
58+ "git receive-pack" (the other end of "git push") was lost by later
59+ checks, resulting in false indication of success.
60+
61+ * "git rev-list --verify" sometimes skipped verification depending on
62+ the phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series.
63+
64+ * Search box in "gitweb" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.
65+
66+ * Search interface of "gitweb" did not show multiple matches in the same file
67+ correctly.
