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..path" variable mistakenly set to the empty + "true" caused the configuration parser to segfault. + + * Output from "git log --full-diff -- " looked strange, + because comparison was done with the previous ancestor that + touched the specified , 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. diff --git a/RelNotes b/RelNotes index fce99fb79d..d573a270aa 120000 --- a/RelNotes +++ b/RelNotes @@ -1 +1 @@ -Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.4.txt \ No newline at end of file +Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.4.1.txt \ No newline at end of file
