Git v1.8.4 Release Notes
========================
Updates since v1.8.3
--------------------
Foreign interface
* Remote transport helper has been updated to report errors and
maintain ref hierarchy used to keep track of its own state better.
UI, Workflows & Features
* "check-ignore" (new feature since 1.8.2) has been updated to work
more like "check-attr" over bidi-pipes.
* We used the approxidate() parser for "--expire=<timestamp>" options
of various commands, but it is better to treat --expire=all and
--expire=now a bit more specially than using the current timestamp.
"git gc" and "git reflog" have been updated with a new parsing
function for expiry dates.
Performance, Internal Implementation, etc.
* Object lookup logic, when the object hashtable starts to become
crowded, has been optimized.
* When TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY setting is used, it was handled somewhat
inconsistently between the test framework and t/Makefile, and logic
to summarize the results looked at a wrong place.
* Many warnings from sparse source checker in compat/ area has been
squelched.
* The code to reading and updating packed-refs file has been updated,
correcting corner case bugs.
Also contains various documentation updates and code clean-ups.
Fixes since v1.8.3
------------------
Unless otherwise noted, all the fixes since v1.8.3 in the maintenance
track are contained in this release (see release notes to them for
details).
* When $HOME is misconfigured to point at an unreadable directory, we
used to complain and die. Loosen the check.
(merge 4698c8f jn/config-ignore-inaccessible later to maint).
* "git subtree" (in contrib/) had one codepath with loose error
checks to lose data at the remote side.
(merge 3212d56 jk/subtree-do-not-push-if-split-fails later to maint).
* "git fetch" into a shallow repository from a repository that does
not know about the shallow boundary commits (e.g. a different fork
from the repository the current shallow repository was cloned from)
did not work correctly.
(merge 71d5f93 mh/fetch-into-shallow later to maint).
* "git checkout foo" DWIMs the intended "upstream" and turns it into
"git checkout -t -b foo remotes/origin/foo". This codepath has been
updated to correctly take existing remote definitions into account.
(merge 229177a jh/checkout-auto-tracking later to maint).
