We will use the "simple" semantics that pushes the +current branch to the branch with the same name, only when the current +branch is set to integrate with that remote branch. There is a user +preference configuration variable "push.default" to change this. + + +Updates since v1.8.1 +-------------------- + +UI, Workflows & Features + + * + +Foreign Interface + + * + +Performance, Internal Implementation, etc. + + * + +Also contains minor documentation updates and code clean-ups. + + +Fixes since v1.8.1 +------------------ + +Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.8.1 in the maintenance +track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for +details). + + * An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the + real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused + the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling. + (merge 059b379 mh/ceiling later to maint). + + * t4014, t9502 and t0200 tests had various portability issues that + broke on OpenBSD. + (merge 27f6342 jc/maint-test-portability later to maint). + + * t9020 and t3600 tests had various portability issues. + (merge 5a02966 jc/test-portability later to maint). + + * t9200 runs "cvs init" on a directory that already exists, but a + platform can configure this fail for the current user (e.g. you + need to be in the cvsadmin group on NetBSD 6.0). + (merge 8666df0 jc/test-cvs-no-init-in-existing-dir later to maint). + + * After failing to create a temporary file using mkstemp(), failing + pathname was not reported correctly on some platforms. + (merge f7be59b jc/mkstemp-more-careful-error-reporting later to maint). + + * The way "git svn" asked for password using SSH_ASKPASS and + GIT_ASKPASS was not in line with the rest of the system. + (merge e9263e4 ss/svn-prompt later to maint). + + * The --graph code fell into infinite loop when asked to do what the + code did not expect. + (merge 656197a mk/maint-graph-infinity-loop later to maint). + + * http transport was wrong to ask for the username when the + authentication is done by certificate identity. + (merge 75e9a40 rb/http-cert-cred-no-username-prompt later to maint). + + * "git pack-refs" that ran in parallel to another process that + created new refs had a nasty race. + (merge b3f1280 jk/repack-ref-racefix later to maint). + + * After "git add -N" and then writing a tree object out of the + index, the cache-tree data structure got corrupted. + (merge eec3e7e nd/invalidate-i-t-a-cache-tree later to maint). + + * "gitweb", when sorting by age to show repositories with new + activities first, used to sort repositories with absolutely + nothing in it early, which was not very useful. + (merge 28dae18 md/gitweb-sort-by-age later to maint). + + * When a line to be wrapped has a solid run of non space characters + whose length exactly is the wrap width, "git shortlog -w" failed + to add a newline after such a line. + (merge e0db176 sp/shortlog-missing-lf later to maint). + + * Some shells do not behave correctly when IFS is unset; work it + around by explicitly setting it to the default value. + (merge 393050c jc/maint-fbsd-sh-ifs-workaround later to maint). diff --git a/GIT-VERSION-GEN b/GIT-VERSION-GEN index 72e37c9bfe..e9f7abca91 100755 --- a/GIT-VERSION-GEN +++ b/GIT-VERSION-GEN @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ #!/bin/sh GVF=GIT-VERSION-FILE -DEF_VER=v1.8.1 +DEF_VER=v1.8.1.GIT LF=' ' @@ -1 +1 @@ -Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.1.txt
