| 1 | +Git v2.1.1 Release Notes |
| 2 | +======================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | + * Git 2.0 had a regression where "git fetch" into a shallowly |
| 5 | + cloned repository from a repository with bitmap object index |
| 6 | + enabled did not work correctly. This has been corrected. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | + * Git 2.0 had a regression which broke (rarely used) "git diff-tree |
| 9 | + -t". This has been corrected. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | + * "git log --pretty/format=" with an empty format string did not |
| 12 | + mean the more obvious "No output whatsoever" but "Use default |
| 13 | + format", which was counterintuitive. Now it means "nothing shown |
| 14 | + for the log message part". |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + * "git -c section.var command" and "git -c section.var= command" |
| 17 | + should pass the configuration differently (the former should be a |
| 18 | + boolean true, the latter should be an empty string), but they |
| 19 | + didn't work that way. Now it does. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + * Applying a patch not generated by Git in a subdirectory used to |
| 22 | + check the whitespace breakage using the attributes for incorrect |
| 23 | + paths. Also whitespace checks were performed even for paths |
| 24 | + excluded via "git apply --exclude=<path>" mechanism. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + * "git bundle create" with date-range specification were meant to |
| 27 | + exclude tags outside the range, but it did not work correctly. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + * "git add x" where x that used to be a directory has become a |
| 30 | + symbolic link to a directory misbehaved. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + * The prompt script checked $GIT_DIR/ref/stash file to see if there |
| 33 | + is a stash, which was a no-no. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + * "git checkout -m" did not switch to another branch while carrying |
| 36 | + the local changes forward when a path was deleted from the index. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + * With sufficiently long refnames, fast-import could have overflown |
| 39 | + an on-stack buffer. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + * After "pack-refs --prune" packed refs at the top-level, it failed |
| 42 | + to prune them. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + * "git gc --auto" triggered from "git fetch --quiet" was not quiet. |
