It should produce the file itself, but instead + produced an empty result. + + * GIT_TRACE mechanism segfaulted when tracing a shell-quoted aliases. + + * OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim". + + * With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to + create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and + $(bindir)/git. + + * command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are + in a bare repository. + + * "git add ." in an empty directory complained that pathspec "." did not + match anything, which may be technically correct, but not useful. We + silently make it a no-op now. + + * "git add -p" (and "patch" action in "git add -i") was broken when + the first hunk that adds a line at the top was split into two and + both halves are marked to be used. + + * "git blame path" misbehaved at the commit where path became file + from a directory with some files in it. + + * "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object + created by an ancient git. + + * "git format-patch -k" still added patch numbers if format.numbered + configuration was set. + + * "git grep --color ''" did not terminate. The command also had + subtle bugs with its -w option. + + * http-push had a small use-after-free bug. + + * "git push" was converting OFS_DELTA pack representation into less + efficient REF_DELTA representation unconditionally upon transfer, + making the transferred data unnecessarily larger. + + * "git remote show origin" segfaulted when origin was still empty. + +Many other general usability updates around help text, diagnostic messages +and documentation are included as well. -- cgit 1.4.1
