casting the (char *) pointer to (int *); GCC 4.4 did not like this,
and aborted compilation.
- * http-push had a small use-after-free bug.
-
- * command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are
- in a bare repository.
-
- * "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object
- created by an ancient git.
-
* Some unlink(2) failures went undiagnosed.
* The "recursive" merge strategy misbehaved when faced rename/delete
conflicts while coming up with an intermediate merge base.
+ * The low-level merge algorithm did not handle a degenerate case of
+ merging a file with itself using itself as the common ancestor
+ gracefully. It should produce the file itself, but instead
+ produced an empty result.
+
* GIT_TRACE mechanism segfaulted when tracing a shell-quoted aliases.
+ * OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim".
+
+ * With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to
+ create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and
+ $(bindir)/git.
+
+ * command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are
+ in a bare repository.
+
* "git add ." in an empty directory complained that pathspec "." did not
match anything, which may be technically correct, but not useful. We
silently make it a no-op now.
+ * "git add -p" (and "patch" action in "git add -i") was broken when
+ the first hunk that adds a line at the top was split into two and
+ both halves are marked to be used.
+
+ * "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object
+ created by an ancient git.
+
* "git format-patch -k" still added patch numbers if format.numbered
configuration was set.
- * OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim".
+ * "git grep --color ''" did not terminate.
- * With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to
- create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and
- $(bindir)/git.
+ * http-push had a small use-after-free bug.
* "git push" was converting OFS_DELTA pack representation into less
efficient REF_DELTA representation unconditionally upon transfer,
making the transferred data unnecessarily larger.
+ * "git remote show origin" segfaulted when origin was still empty.
+
Many other general usability updates around help text, diagnostic messages
and documentation are included as well.
