| Git 1.8.1.6 Release Notes | |
| ========================= | |
| Fixes since v1.8.1.5 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * An earlier change to the attribute system introduced at v1.8.1.2 by | |
| mistake stopped a pattern "dir" (without trailing slash) from | |
| matching a directory "dir" (it only wanted to allow pattern "dir/" | |
| to also match). | |
| * The code to keep track of what directory names are known to Git on | |
| platforms with case insensitive filesystems can get confused upon a | |
| hash collision between these pathnames and looped forever. | |
| * When the "--prefix" option is used to "checkout-index", the code | |
| did not pick the correct output filter based on the attribute | |
| setting. | |
| * Annotated tags outside refs/tags/ hierarchy were not advertised | |
| correctly to the ls-remote and fetch with recent version of Git. | |
| * The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of | |
| files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the | |
| common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped. | |
| * "git update-index -h" did not do the usual "-h(elp)" thing. | |
| * perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it | |
| out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do. | |
| * The SSL peer verification done by "git imap-send" did not ask for | |
| Server Name Indication (RFC 4366), failing to connect SSL/TLS | |
| sites that serve multiple hostnames on a single IP. | |
| * "git bundle verify" did not say "records a complete history" for a | |
| bundle that does not have any prerequisites. | |
| Also contains various documentation fixes. |
