- GIT v1.5.2.2 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.5.2.1
- --------------------
-
- * Usability fix
-
- - git-gui is shipped with its updated blame interface. It is
- rumored that the older one was not just unusable but was
- active health hazard, but this one is actually pretty.
- Please see for yourself.
-
- * Bugfixes
-
- - "git checkout fubar" was utterly confused when there is a
- branch fubar and a tag fubar at the same time. It correctly
- checks out the branch fubar now.
-
- - "git clone /path/foo" to clone a local /path/foo.git
- repository left an incorrect configuration.
-
- - "git send-email" correctly unquotes RFC 2047 quoted names in
- the patch-email before using their values.
-
- - We did not accept number of seconds since epoch older than
- year 2000 as a valid timestamp. We now interpret positive
- integers more than 8 digits as such, which allows us to
- express timestamps more recent than March 1973.
-
- - git-cvsimport did not work when you have GIT_DIR to point
- your repository at a nonstandard location.
-
- - Some systems (notably, Solaris) lack hstrerror() to make
- h_errno human readable; prepare a replacement
- implementation.
-
- - .gitignore file listed git-core.spec but what we generate is
- git.spec, and nobody noticed for a long time.
-
- - "git-merge-recursive" does not try to run file level merge
- on binary files.
-
- - "git-branch --track" did not create tracking configuration
- correctly when the branch name had slash in it.
-
- - The email address of the user specified with user.email
- configuration was overridden by EMAIL environment variable.
-
- - The tree parser did not warn about tree entries with
- nonsense file modes, and assumed they must be blobs.
-
- - "git log -z" without any other request to generate diff still
- invoked the diff machinery, wasting cycles.
-
- * Documentation
-
- - Many updates to fix stale or missing documentation.
-
- - Although our documentation was primarily meant to be formatted
- with AsciiDoc7, formatting with AsciiDoc8 is supported better.
