Protect them from such a misconfiguration. + + * When the user gives an argument that can be taken as both a + revision name and a pathname without disambiguating with "--", we + used to give a help message "Use '--' to separate". The message + has been clarified to show where that '--' goes on the command + line. + + * Documentation for the configuration file format had a confusing + example. + + * Older parts of the documentation described as if having a regular + file in .git/refs/ hierarchy were the only way to have branches and + tags, which is not true for quite some time. + + * It was generally understood that "--long-option"s to many of our + subcommands can be abbreviated to the unique prefix, but it was not + easy to find it described for new readers of the documentation set. + + * The "--topo-order", "--date-order" (and the lack of either means + the default order) options to "rev-list" and "log" family of + commands were poorly described in the documentation. + + * "git commit --amend" let the user edit the log message and then + died when the human-readable committer name was given + insufficiently by getpwent(3). + + * The exit status code from "git config" was way overspecified while + being incorrect. The implementation has been updated to give the + documented status for a case that was documented, and introduce a + new code for "all other errors". + + * The output from "git diff -B" for a file that ends with an + incomplete line did not put "\ No newline..." on a line of its own. + + * "git diff" had a confusion between taking data from a path in the + working tree and taking data from an object that happens to have + name 0{40} recorded in a tree. + + * The "--rebase" option to "git pull" can be abbreviated to "-r", + but we didn't document it. + + * When "git push" triggered the automatic gc on the receiving end, a + message from "git prune" that said it was removing cruft leaked to + the standard output, breaking the communication protocol. + + * The reflog entries left by "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" were + inconsistent (the interactive one gave an abbreviated object name). + + * "git send-email" did not unquote encoded words that appear on the + header correctly, and lost "_" from strings. + + * "git stash apply/pop" did not trigger "rerere" upon conflicts + unlike other mergy operations. + + * "git submodule path" did not error out when the path to the + submodule was misspelt. + + * "git submodule update -f" did not update paths in the working tree + that has local changes. + (merge 01d4721 sz/submodule-force-update later to maint). + + * "gitweb" when used with PATH_INFO failed to notice directories with + SP (and other characters that need URL-style quoting) in them. + + * Fallback 'getpass' implementation made unportable use of stdio API. + + * A utility shell function test_seq has been added as a replacement + for the 'seq' utility found on some platforms. -- cgit v1.2.3
