Git v1.7.11.7 Release Notes =========================== Fixes since v1.7.11.6 --------------------- * The synopsis said "checkout [-B branch]" to make it clear the branch name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the option description was "-B::", not "-B branch::", making the documentation misleading. * Git ships with a fall-back regexp implementation for platforms with buggy regexp library, but it was easy for people to keep using their platform regexp. A new test has been added to check this. * "git apply -p0" did not parse pathnames on "diff --git" line correctly. This caused patches that had pathnames in no other places to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that does not rename nor change mode). Textual patches, renames or mode changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different places in a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer from this problem. * After "gitk" showed the contents of a tag, neither "Reread references" nor "Reload" did not update what is shown as the contents of it, when the user overwrote the tag with "git tag -f". * "git for-each-ref" did not correctly support more than one --sort option. * "git log .." errored out saying it is both rev range and a path when there is no disambiguating "--" is on the command line. Update the command line parser to interpret ".." as a path in such a case. * Pushing to smart HTTP server with recent Git fails without having the username in the URL to force authentication, if the server is configured to allow GET anonymously, while requiring authentication for POST. * "git show --format='%ci'" did not give timestamp correctly for commits created without human readable name on "committer" line. (merge e27ddb6 jc/maint-ident-missing-human-name later to maint). * "git show --quiet" ought to be a synonym for "git show -s", but wasn't.
