Protect them from such a misconfiguration. + + * When "git push" triggered the automatic gc on the receiving end, a + message from "git prune" that said it was removing cruft leaked to + the standard output, breaking the communication protocol. + + * "git diff" had a confusion between taking data from a path in the + working tree and taking data from an object that happens to have + name 0{40} recorded in a tree. + + * "git send-email" did not unquote encoded words that appear on the + header correctly, and lost "_" from strings. + + * When the user gives an argument that can be taken as both a + revision name and a pathname without disambiguating with "--", we + used to give a help message "Use '--' to separate". The message + has been clarified to show where that '--' goes on the command + line. + + * "gitweb" when used with PATH_INFO failed to notice directories with + SP (and other characters that need URL-style quoting) in them. diff --git a/RelNotes b/RelNotes index 19bb2ebbe6..53d76d1a47 120000 --- a/RelNotes +++ b/RelNotes @@ -1 +1 @@ -Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.12.txt \ No newline at end of file +Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.12.1.txt \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
