We ignore these signals now. + + * A child process that was killed by a signal (e.g. SIGINT) was + reported in an inconsistent way depending on how the process was + spawned by us, with or without a shell in between. + + * After "git add -N" and then writing a tree object out of the + index, the cache-tree data structure got corrupted. + + * "git apply" misbehaved when fixing whitespace breakages by removing + excess trailing blank lines in some corner cases. + + * A tar archive created by "git archive" recorded a directory in a + way that made NetBSD's implementation of "tar" sometimes unhappy. + + * When "git clone --separate-git-dir=$over_there" is interrupted, it + failed to remove the real location of the $GIT_DIR it created. + This was most visible when interrupting a submodule update. + + * "git fetch --mirror" and fetch that uses other forms of refspec + with wildcard used to attempt to update a symbolic ref that match + the wildcard on the receiving end, which made little sense (the + real ref that is pointed at by the symbolic ref would be updated + anyway). Symbolic refs no longer are affected by such a fetch. + + * The "log --graph" codepath fell into infinite loop in some + corner cases. + + * "git merge" started calling prepare-commit-msg hook like "git + commit" does some time ago, but forgot to pay attention to the exit + status of the hook. + + * "git pack-refs" that ran in parallel to another process that + created new refs had a race that can lose new ones. + + * When a line to be wrapped has a solid run of non space characters + whose length exactly is the wrap width, "git shortlog -w" failed + to add a newline after such a line. + + * The way "git svn" asked for password using SSH_ASKPASS and + GIT_ASKPASS was not in line with the rest of the system. + + * "gitweb", when sorting by age to show repositories with new + activities first, used to sort repositories with absolutely + nothing in it early, which was not very useful. + + * "gitweb", when sorting by age to show repositories with new + activities first, used to sort repositories with absolutely + nothing in it early, which was not very useful. + + * When autoconf is used, any build on a different commit always ran + "config.status --recheck" even when unnecessary. + + * Some scripted programs written in Python did not get updated when + PYTHON_PATH changed. + + * We have been carrying a translated and long-unmaintained copy of an + old version of the tutorial; removed. + + * Portability issues in many self-test scripts have been addressed. + + +Also contains other minor fixes and documentation updates. -- cgit v1.2.3
