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. |
