2014-05-09Git 1.9.3Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
The third maintenance release for Git 1.9; contains all the fixes that are scheduled to appear in Git 2.0 since 1.9.2. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-05-08shell doc: remove stray "+" in exampleLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
The git-shell(1) manpage says EXAMPLE To disable interactive logins, displaying a greeting instead: + $ chsh -s /usr/bin/git-shell $ mkdir $HOME/git-shell-commands [...] The stray "+" has been there ever since the example was added in v1.8.3-rc0~210^2 (shell: new no-interactive-login command to print a custom message, 2013-03-09). The "+" sign between paragraphs is needed in asciidoc to attach extra paragraphs to a list item but here it is not needed and ends up rendered as a literal "+". Remove it. A quick search with "grep -e '<p>+' /usr/share/doc/git/html/*.html" doesn't find any other instances of this problem.

2014-03-18Git 1.9.1Libravatar Junio C Hamano2-1/+61
The version numbering scheme has changed since Git 1.9 and we dropped the third dewey-decimal from the traditional numbering (e.g. both 1.8.4 and 1.8.5 were major feature releases). This release 1.9.1 is the first maintenance relase for Git 1.9. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-02-05howto/maintain-git.txt: new version numbering schemeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+11
We wanted to call the upcoming release "Git 1.9", with its maintenance track being "Git 1.9.1", "Git 1.9.2", etc., but various third-party tools are reported to assume that there are at least three dewey-decimal components in our version number. Adjust the plan so that vX.Y.0 are feature releases while vX.Y.Z (Z > 0) are maintenance releases. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This goes far back to e84fb2f (branch --contains: default to HEAD - 2008-07-08) where the same parsing code is shared with builtin/tag.c. git-branch.txt correctly states that <commit> for --contains is optional while git-tag.txt does not.

./Documentation/technical/http-protocol.txt was missing from TECH_DOCS in Makefile.

Fetching from a shallow-cloned repository used to be forbidden, primarily because the codepaths involved were not carefully vetted and we did not bother supporting such usage.
