Git v1.8.4.1 Release Notes
========================
Fixes since v1.8.4
------------------
* Some people still use rather old versions of bash, which cannot
grok some constructs like 'printf -v varname' the prompt and
completion code started to use recently. The completion and
prompt scripts have been adjusted to work better with these old
versions of bash.
* "git rebase -i" had a minor bug (the same could be in other
programs, as the root cause is pretty generic) where the code
feeds a random, data dependeant string to 'echo' and expects it
to come out literally.
* "submodule.<name>.path" variable mistakenly set to the empty
"true" caused the configuration parser to segfault.
* Output from "git log --full-diff -- <pathspec>" looked strange,
because comparison was done with the previous ancestor that
touched the specified <pathspec>, causing the patches for paths
outside the pathspec to show more than the single commit has
changed.
* The auto-tag-following code in "git fetch" tries to reuse the
same transport twice when the serving end does not cooperate and
does not give tags that point to commits that are asked for as
part of the primary transfer. Unfortunately, Git-aware transport
helper interface is not designed to be used more than once, hence
this did not work over smart-http transfer. Fixed.
* Send a large request to read(2)/write(2) as a smaller but still
reasonably large chunks, which would improve the latency when the
operation needs to be killed and incidentally works around broken
64-bit systems that cannot take a 2GB write or read in one go.
* A ".mailmap" file that ends with an incomplete line, when read
from a blob, was not handled properly.
* The recent "short-cut clone connectivity check" topic broke a
shallow repository when a fetch operation tries to auto-follow
tags.
* On platforms with fgetc() and friends defined as macros,
the configuration parser did not compile.
Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation
updates, updates to the test suite, etc.
