Also, + when asked to compare a file and a directory, imitate POSIX "diff" + and compare the file with the file with the same name in the + directory, instead of refusing to run. + + * The default $HOME/.gitconfig file created upon "git config --global" + that edits it had incorrectly spelled user.name and user.email + entries in it. + + * "git commit --date=now" or anything that relies on approxidate lost + the daylight-saving-time offset. + + * "git cat-file bl $blob" failed to barf even though there is no + object type that is "bl". + + * Teach the codepaths that read .gitignore and .gitattributes files + that these files encoded in UTF-8 may have UTF-8 BOM marker at the + beginning; this makes it in line with what we do for configuration + files already. + + * Access to objects in repositories that borrow from another one on a + slow NFS server unnecessarily got more expensive due to recent code + becoming more cautious in a naive way not to lose objects to pruning. + + * We avoid setting core.worktree when the repository location is the + ".git" directory directly at the top level of the working tree, but + the code misdetected the case in which the working tree is at the + root level of the filesystem (which arguably is a silly thing to + do, but still valid). + +Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code +clean-ups. -- cgit v1.2.3
