It would be more intuitive to give an empty + archive back in such a case. + + * "git tag -f <tag>" always said "Updated tag '<tag>'" even when + creating a new tag (i.e. not overwriting nor updating). + + * "git cmd -- ':(top'" was not diagnosed as an invalid syntax, and + instead the parser kept reading beyond the end of the string. + + * Annotated tags outside refs/tags/ hierarchy were not advertised + correctly to the ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git. + + * The code to keep track of what directory names are known to Git on + platforms with case insensitive filesystems can get confused upon a + hash collision between these pathnames and looped forever. + * The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped. |
