44Fixes since v1.8.2
55------------------
66
7+ * Verification of signed tags were not done correctly when not in C
8+ or en/US locale.
9+
10+ * 'git commit -m "$msg"' used to add an extra newline even when
11+ $msg already ended with one.
12+
13+ * The "--match=<pattern>" option of "git describe", when used with
14+ "--all" to allow refs that are not annotated tags to be used as a
15+ base of description, did not restrict the output from the command
16+ to those that match the given pattern.
17+
18+ * An aliased command spawned from a bare repository that does not say
19+ it is bare with "core.bare = yes" is treated as non-bare by mistake.
20+
21+ * When "format-patch" quoted a non-ascii strings on the header files,
22+ it incorrectly applied rfc2047 and chopped a single character in
23+ the middle of it.
24+
25+ * "git archive" reports a failure when asked to create an archive out
26+ of an empty tree. It would be more intuitive to give an empty
27+ archive back in such a case.
28+
29+ * "git tag -f <tag>" always said "Updated tag '<tag>'" even when
30+ creating a new tag (i.e. not overwriting nor updating).
31+
32+ * "git cmd -- ':(top'" was not diagnosed as an invalid syntax, and
33+ instead the parser kept reading beyond the end of the string.
34+
35+ * Annotated tags outside refs/tags/ hierarchy were not advertised
36+ correctly to the ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git.
37+
38+ * The code to keep track of what directory names are known to Git on
39+ platforms with case insensitive filesystems can get confused upon a
40+ hash collision between these pathnames and looped forever.
41+
742 * The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of
843 files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the
944 common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped.
