Git v1.7.1.1 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.7.1 ------------------ * Authentication over http transport can now be made lazily, in that the request can first go to a URL without username, get a 401 response and then the client will ask for the username to use. * We used to mistakenly think "../work" is a subdirectory of the current directory when we are in "../work-xyz". * The attribute mechanism now allows an entry that uses an attribute macro that set/unset one attribute, immediately followed by an overriding setting; this makes attribute macros much easier to use. * We didn't recognize timezone "Z" as a synonym for "UTC" (75b37e70). * In 1.7.0, read-tree and user commands that use the mechanism such as checkout and merge were fixed to handle switching between branches one of which has a file while the other has a directory at the same path correctly even when there are some "confusing" pathnames in them. But the algorithm used for this fix was suboptimal and had a terrible performance degradation especially in larger trees. * "git am -3" did not show diagnosis when the patch in the message was corrupt. * After "git apply --whitespace=fix" removed trailing blank lines in an patch in a patch series, it failed to apply later patches that depend on the presence of such blank lines. * "git bundle --stdin" segfaulted. * "git checkout" and "git rebase" overwrote paths that are marked "assume unchanged". * "git commit --amend" on a commit with an invalid author-name line that lacks the display name didn't work. * "git describe" did not tie-break tags that point at the same commit correctly; newer ones are preferred by paying attention to the tagger date now. * "git diff" used to tell underlying xdiff machinery to work very hard to minimize the output, but this often was spending too many extra cycles for very little gain. * "git diff --color" did not paint extended diff headers per line (i.e. the coloring escape sequence didn't end at the end of line), which confused "less -R". * "git fetch" over HTTP verifies the downloaded packfiles more robustly. * The memory usage by "git index-pack" (run during "git fetch" and "git push") got leaner. * "GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git" created foo.git instead of bar.git. * "git log --abbrev=$num --format='%h' ignored --abbrev=$num. * "git ls-files ../out/side/cwd" refused to work. * "git merge --log" used to replace the custom message given by "-m" with the shortlog, instead of appending to it. * "git notes copy" without any other argument segfaulted. * "git pull" accepted "--dry-run", gave it to underlying "git fetch" but ignored the option itself, resulting in a bogus attempt to merge unrelated commit. * "git rebase" did not faithfully reproduce a malformed author ident, that is often seen in a repository converted from foreign SCMs. * "git reset --hard" started from a wrong directory and a working tree in a nonstandard location is in use got confused. * "git send-email" lacked a way to specify the domainname used in the EHLO/HELO exchange, causing rejected connection from picky servers. It learned --smtp-domain option to solve this issue. * "git send-email" did not declare a content-transfer-encoding and content-type even when its payload needs to be sent in 8-bit. * "git show -C -C" and other corner cases lost diff metainfo output in 1.7.0. * "git stash" incorrectly lost paths in the working tree that were previously removed from the index. * "git status" stopped refreshing the index by mistake in 1.7.1. * "git status" showed excess "hints" even when advice.statusHints is set to false. And other minor fixes and documentation updates.
