| 1 | +Git v2.3.1 Release Notes |
| 2 | +======================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Fixes since v2.3 |
| 5 | +---------------- |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | + * The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it" |
| 8 | + interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when |
| 9 | + the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the |
| 10 | + user could have made was to choose nothing. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | + * "git apply --whitespace=fix" used to under-allocate the memory |
| 13 | + when the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | + * "git log --help" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant |
| 16 | + to the "log" command. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | + * The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author |
| 19 | + name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been |
| 20 | + reworded to avoid misunderstanding. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + * A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the |
| 23 | + dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other |
| 24 | + side. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + * The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the |
| 27 | + only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in |
| 28 | + the --raw format. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + * Fix a misspelled conditional that is always true. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + * Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory |
| 33 | + would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + * The "git push" documentation made the "--repo=<there>" option |
| 36 | + easily misunderstood. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + * After attempting and failing a password-less authentication |
| 39 | + (e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based |
| 40 | + Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + * Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce |
| 43 | + broken patches. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | + * "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did |
| 46 | + not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree |
| 47 | + files and failed to do so for whatever reason. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + * "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it |
| 50 | + tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD". |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. |
