| Git v1.7.10.1 Release Notes |
| =========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.10 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| * "git add -p" is not designed to deal with unmerged paths but did |
| not exclude them and tried to apply funny patches only to fail. |
| |
| * When PATH contains an unreadable directory, alias expansion code |
| did not kick in, and failed with an error that said "git-subcmd" |
| was not found. |
| |
| * "git clean -d -f" (not "-d -f -f") is supposed to protect nested |
| working trees of independent git repositories that exist in the |
| current project working tree from getting removed, but the |
| protection applied only to such working trees that are at the |
| top-level of the current project by mistake. |
| |
| * "git commit --author=$name" did not tell the name that was being |
| recorded in the resulting commit to hooks, even though it does do |
| so when the end user overrode the authorship via the |
| "GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" environment variable. |
| |
| * When "git commit --template F" errors out because the user did not |
| touch the message, it claimed that it aborts due to "empty |
| message", which was utterly wrong. |
| |
| * The regexp configured with diff.wordregex was incorrectly reused |
| across files. |
| |
| * An age-old corner case bug in combine diff (only triggered with -U0 |
| and the hunk at the beginning of the file needs to be shown) has |
| been fixed. |
| |
| * Rename detection logic used to match two empty files as renames |
| during merge-recursive, leading to unnatural mismerges. |
| |
| * Running "notes merge --commit" failed to perform correctly when run |
| from any directory inside $GIT_DIR/. When "notes merge" stops with |
| conflicts, $GIT_DIR/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE is the place a user edits |
| to resolve it. |
| |
| * The 'push to upstream' implementation was broken in some corner |
| cases. "git push $there" without refspec, when the current branch |
| is set to push to a remote different from $there, used to push to |
| $there using the upstream information to a remote unreleated to |
| $there. |
| |
| Also contains minor fixes and documentation updates. |
