It is + rumored that the older one was not just unusable but was + active health hazard, but this one is actually pretty. + Please see for yourself. + +* Bugfixes + + - "git checkout fubar" was utterly confused when there is a + branch fubar and a tag fubar at the same time. It correctly + checks out the branch fubar now. + + - "git clone /path/foo" to clone a local /path/foo.git + repository left an incorrect configuration. + + - "git send-email" correctly unquotes RFC 2047 quoted names in + the patch-email before using their values. + + - We did not accept number of seconds since epoch older than + year 2000 as a valid timestamp. We now interpret positive + integers more than 8 digits as such, which allows us to + express timestamps more recent than March 1973. + + - git-cvsimport did not work when you have GIT_DIR to point + your repository at a nonstandard location. + + - Some systems (notably, Solaris) lack hstrerror() to make + h_errno human readable; prepare a replacement + implementation. + + - .gitignore file listed git-core.spec but what we generate is + git.spec, and nobody noticed for a long time. + + - "git-merge-recursive" does not try to run file level merge + on binary files. + + - "git-branch --track" did not create tracking configuration + correctly when the branch name had slash in it. + + - The email address of the user specified with user.email + configuration was overridden by EMAIL environment variable. + + - The tree parser did not warn about tree entries with + nonsense file modes, and assumed they must be blobs. + + - "git log -z" without any other request to generate diff still + invoked the diff machinery, wasting cycles. + +* Documentation + + - Many updates to fix stale or missing documentation. + + - Although our documentation was primarily meant to be formatted + with AsciiDoc7, formatting with AsciiDoc8 is supported better. |
