Git v1.8.2.2 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.8.2.1 -------------------- * Zsh completion forgot that '%' character used to signal untracked files needs to be escaped with another '%'. * A commit object whose author or committer ident are malformed crashed some code that trusted that a name, an email and an timestamp can always be found in it. * The new core.commentchar configuration was not applied to a few places. * "git pull --rebase" did not pass "-v/-q" options to underlying "git rebase". * When receive-pack detects error in the pack header it received in order to decide which of unpack-objects or index-pack to run, it returned without closing the error stream, which led to a hang sideband thread. * "git diff --diff-algorithm=algo" was understood by the command line parser, but "git diff --diff-algorithm algo" was not. * "git log -S/-G" started paying attention to textconv filter, but there was no way to disable this. Make it honor --no-textconv option. * "git merge $(git rev-parse v1.8.2)" behaved quite differently from "git merge v1.8.2", as if v1.8.2 were written as v1.8.2^0 and did not pay much attention to the annotated tag payload. Make the code notice the type of the tag object, in addition to the dwim_ref() based classification the current code uses (i.e. the name appears in refs/tags/) to decide when to special case merging of tags. * "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" can take more than one commit on the command line these days, but it was not mentioned on the usage text. * Perl scripts like "git-svn" closed (not redirecting to /dev/null) the standard error stream, which is not a very smart thing to do. Later open may return file descriptor #2 for unrelated purpose, and error reporting code may write into them. * "git apply --whitespace=fix" was not prepared to see a line getting longer after fixing whitespaces (e.g. tab-in-indent aka Python). * "git diff/log --cc" did not work well with options that ignore whitespace changes. * Documentation on setting up a http server that requires authentication only on the push but not fetch has been clarified. * A few bugfixes to "git rerere" working on corner case merge conflicts have been applied. * "git bundle" did not like a bundle created using a commit without any message as its one of the prerequistes.
