The completion and prompt scripts have been - adjusted to work better with these old versions of bash. - - * In FreeBSD's and NetBSD's "sh", a return in a dot script in a - function returns from the function, not only in the dot script, - breaking "git rebase" on these platforms (regression introduced - in 1.8.4-rc1). - - * "git rebase -i" and other scripted commands were feeding a - random, data dependant error message to 'echo' and expecting it - to come out literally. - - * Setting the "submodule.<name>.path" variable to the empty - "true" caused the configuration parser to segfault. - - * Output from "git log --full-diff -- <pathspec>" looked strange - because comparison was done with the previous ancestor that - touched the specified <pathspec>, 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. - - * When send-email comes up with an error message to die with upon - failure to start an SSL session, it tried to read the error - string from a wrong place. - - * A call to xread() was used without a loop to cope with short - read in the codepath to stream large blobs to a pack. - - * On platforms with fgetc() and friends defined as macros, the - configuration parser did not compile. - - * New versions of MediaWiki introduced a new API for returning - more than 500 results in response to a query, which would cause - the MediaWiki remote helper to go into an infinite loop. - - * Subversion's serf access method (the only one available in - Subversion 1.8) for http and https URLs in skelta mode tells its - caller to open multiple files at a time, which made "git svn - fetch" complain that "Temp file with moniker 'svn_delta' already - in use" instead of fetching. - - -Also contains a handful of trivial code clean-ups, documentation -updates, updates to the test suite, etc. |
