| 1 | +GIT v1.5.2.2 Release Notes |
| 2 | +========================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +Fixes since v1.5.2.1 |
| 5 | +-------------------- |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +* Usability fix |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | + - git-gui is shipped with its updated blame interface. It is |
| 10 | + rumored that the older one was not just unusable but was |
| 11 | + active health hazard, but this one is actually pretty. |
| 12 | + Please see for yourself. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +* Bugfixes |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + - "git checkout fubar" was utterly confused when there is a |
| 17 | + branch fubar and a tag fubar at the same time. It correctly |
| 18 | + checks out the branch fubar now. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + - "git clone /path/foo" to clone a local /path/foo.git |
| 21 | + repository left an incorrect configuration. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | + - "git send-email" correctly unquotes RFC 2047 quoted names in |
| 24 | + the patch-email before using their values. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + - We did not accept number of seconds since epoch older than |
| 27 | + year 2000 as a valid timestamp. We now interpret positive |
| 28 | + integers more than 8 digits as such, which allows us to |
| 29 | + express timestamps more recent than March 1973. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + - git-cvsimport did not work when you have GIT_DIR to point |
| 32 | + your repository at a nonstandard location. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + - Some systems (notably, Solaris) lack hstrerror() to make |
| 35 | + h_errno human readable; prepare a replacement |
| 36 | + implementation. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + - .gitignore file listed git-core.spec but what we generate is |
| 39 | + git.spec, and nobody noticed for a long time. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + - "git-merge-recursive" does not try to run file level merge |
| 42 | + on binary files. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + - "git-branch --track" did not create tracking configuration |
| 45 | + correctly when the branch name had slash in it. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + - The email address of the user specified with user.email |
| 48 | + configuration was overriden by EMAIL environment variable. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | + - The tree parser did not warn about tree entries with |
| 51 | + nonsense file modes, and assumed they must be blobs. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + - "git log -z" without any other request to generate diff still |
| 54 | + invoked the diff machinery, wasting cycles. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +* Documentation |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + - Many updates to fix stale or missing documentation. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | + - Although our documentation was primarily meant to be formatted |
| 61 | + with AsciiDoc7, formatting with AsciiDoc8 is supported better. |
