Changelog for git-cvs-2.18.0-401.1.x86_64.rpm :
Mon Jun 25 14:00:00 2018 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.18.0:

* improvements to rename detection logic

* When built with more recent cURL, GIT_SSL_VERSION can now
specify \"tlsv1.3\" as its value.

* \"git mergetools\" learned talking to guiffy.

* various other workflow improvements and fixes

* performance improvements and other developer visible fixes
- drop git-bash-completion-egrep-color-fix.diff no longer required

Tue May 29 14:00:00 2018 avindraAATTopensuse.org
- git 2.17.1

* Submodule \"names\" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but
we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk
repo paths. This means you can do bad things by putting \"../\"
into the name. We now enforce some rules for submodule names
which will cause Git to ignore these malicious names
(CVE-2018-11235, bsc#1095219)

* It was possible to trick the code that sanity-checks paths on
NTFS into reading random piece of memory
(CVE-2018-11233, bsc#1095218)

* Support on the server side to reject pushes to repositories
that attempt to create such problematic .gitmodules file etc.
as tracked contents, to help hosting sites protect their
customers by preventing malicious contents from spreading.

Thu May 24 14:00:00 2018 tchvatalAATTsuse.com
- Fix docless build to not fail on find/chmod not having any files
- Require just python3-base not full python for build

Sat May 19 14:00:00 2018 schwabAATTlinux-m68k.org
- git 2.17.0:

* \"diff\" family of commands learned \"--find-object=\" option
to limit the findings to changes that involve the named object.

* \"git format-patch\" learned to give 72-cols to diffstat, which is
consistent with other line length limits the subcommand uses for
its output meant for e-mails.

* The log from \"git daemon\" can be redirected with a new option; one
relevant use case is to send the log to standard error (instead of
syslog) when running it from inetd.

* \"git rebase\" learned to take \"--allow-empty-message\" option.

* \"git am\" has learned the \"--quit\" option, in addition to the
existing \"--abort\" option; having the pair mirrors a few other
commands like \"rebase\" and \"cherry-pick\".

* \"git worktree add\" learned to run the post-checkout hook, just like
\"git clone\" runs it upon the initial checkout.

* \"git tag\" learned an explicit \"--edit\" option that allows the
message given via \"-m\" and \"-F\" to be further edited.

* \"git fetch --prune-tags\" may be used as a handy short-hand for
getting rid of stale tags that are locally held.

* The new \"--show-current-patch\" option gives an end-user facing way
to get the diff being applied when \"git rebase\" (and \"git am\")
stops with a conflict.

* \"git add -p\" used to offer \"/\" (look for a matching hunk) as a
choice, even there was only one hunk, which has been corrected.
Also the single-key help is now given only for keys that are
enabled (e.g. help for \'/\' won\'t be shown when there is only one
hunk).

* Since Git 1.7.9, \"git merge\" defaulted to --no-ff (i.e. even when
the side branch being merged is a descendant of the current commit,
create a merge commit instead of fast-forwarding) when merging a
tag object. This was appropriate default for integrators who pull
signed tags from their downstream contributors, but caused an
unnecessary merges when used by downstream contributors who
habitually \"catch up\" their topic branches with tagged releases
from the upstream. Update \"git merge\" to default to --no-ff only
when merging a tag object that does
*not
* sit at its usual place in
refs/tags/ hierarchy, and allow fast-forwarding otherwise, to
mitigate the problem.

* \"git status\" can spend a lot of cycles to compute the relation
between the current branch and its upstream, which can now be
disabled with \"--no-ahead-behind\" option.

* \"git diff\" and friends learned funcname patterns for Go language
source files.

* \"git send-email\" learned \"--reply-to=
\" option.

* Funcname pattern used for C# now recognizes \"async\" keyword.

* In a way similar to how \"git tag\" learned to honor the pager
setting only in the list mode, \"git config\" learned to ignore the
pager setting when it is used for setting values (i.e. when the
purpose of the operation is not to \"show\").

Tue Mar 27 14:00:00 2018 kukukAATTsuse.de
- Use %license instead of %doc [bsc#1082318]

Fri Mar 23 13:00:00 2018 avindraAATTopensuse.org
- git 2.16.3:

* \"git status\" after moving a path in the working tree (hence
making it appear \"removed\") and then adding with the -N option
(hence making that appear \"added\") detected it as a rename, but
did not report the old and new pathnames correctly.

* \"git commit --fixup\" did not allow \"-m\" option to be
used at the same time; allow it to annotate resulting commit
with more text.

* When resetting the working tree files recursively, the working
tree of submodules are now also reset to match.

* Fix for a commented-out code to adjust it to a rather old API
change around object ID.

* When there are too many changed paths, \"git diff\" showed a
warning message but in the middle of a line.

* The http tracing code, often used to debug connection issues,
learned to redact potentially sensitive information from its
output so that it can be more safely sharable.

* Crash fix for a corner case where an error codepath tried to
unlock what it did not acquire lock on.

* The split-index mode had a few corner case bugs fixed.

* Assorted fixes to \"git daemon\".

* Completion of \"git merge -s\" (in contrib/) did not
work well in non-C locale.

* Workaround for segfault with more recent versions of SVN.

* Recently introduced leaks in fsck have been plugged.

* Travis CI integration now builds the executable in \'script\'
phase to follow the established practice, rather than during
\'before_script\' phase. This allows the CI categorize the
failures better (\'failed\' is project\'s fault, \'errored\' is
build environment\'s).

Thu Mar 8 13:00:00 2018 tiwaiAATTsuse.de

- Create subpackage for libsecret credential helper.

Sun Feb 18 13:00:00 2018 avindraAATTopensuse.org
- git 2.16.2:

* An old regression in \"git describe --all $annotated_tag^0\" has
been fixed.

* \"git svn dcommit\" did not take into account the fact that a
svn+ssh:// URL with a usernameAATT (typically used for pushing)
refers to the same SVN repository without the usernameAATT and
failed when svn.pushmergeinfo option is set.

* \"git merge -Xours/-Xtheirs\" learned to use our/their version
when resolving a conflicting updates to a symbolic link.

* \"git clone $there $here\" is allowed even when here directory
exists as long as it is an empty directory, but the command
incorrectly removed it upon a failure of the operation.

* \"git stash -- \" incorrectly blew away untracked files
in the directory that matched the pathspec, which has been
corrected.

* \"git add -p\" was taught to ignore local changes to submodules
as they do not interfere with the partial addition of regular
changes anyway.

Tue Jan 23 13:00:00 2018 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.16.1:

* \"git clone\" segfaulted when cloning a project that happens to

- Build with the external libsha1detectcoll (bsc#1042644)

Wed Nov 1 13:00:00 2017 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.15.0:

* Use of an empty string as a pathspec element that is used for
\'everything matches\' is still warned and Git asks users to use a
more explicit \'.\' for that instead. Removal scheduled for 2.16

* Git now avoids blindly falling back to \".git\" when the setup
sequence said we are _not_ in Git repository (another corner
case removed)

* \"branch --set-upstream\" was retired, deprecated since 1.8

Tue Sep 26 14:00:00 2017 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.14.2:

* fixes to color output

* http.{sslkey,sslCert} now interpret \"~[username]/\" prefix

* fixes to walking of reflogs via \"log -g\" and friends

* various fixes to output correctness

* \"git push --recurse-submodules $there HEAD:$target\" is now
propagated down to the submodules

* \"git clone --recurse-submodules --quiet\" c$how propagates quiet
option down to submodules.

* \"git svn --localtime\" correctness fixes

* \"git grep -L\" and \"git grep --quiet -L\" now report same exit code

* fixes to \"git apply\" when converting line endings

* Various Perl scripts did not use safe_pipe_capture() instead

CVE-2017-14867 bsc#1061041

* \"git cvsserver\" no longer is invoked by \"git daemon\" by
default

Thu Aug 10 14:00:00 2017 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.14.1 (bsc#1052481):

* Security fix for CVE-2017-1000117: A malicious third-party can
give a crafted \"ssh://...\" URL to an unsuspecting victim, and
an attempt to visit the URL can result in any program that
exists on the victim\'s machine being executed. Such a URL could
be placed in the .gitmodules file of a malicious project, and
an unsuspecting victim could be tricked into running
\"git clone --recurse-submodules\" to trigger the vulnerability.

* A \"ssh://...\" URL can result in a \"ssh\" command line with a
hostname that begins with a dash \"-\", which would cause the
\"ssh\" command to instead (mis)treat it as an option. This is
now prevented by forbidding such a hostname (which should not
impact any real-world usage).

* Similarly, when GIT_PROXY_COMMAND is configured, the command
is run with host and port that are parsed out from \"ssh://...\"
URL; a poorly written GIT_PROXY_COMMAND could be tricked into
treating a string that begins with a dash \"-\" as an option.
This is now prevented by forbidding such a hostname and port
number (again, which should not impact any real-world usage).

* In the same spirit, a repository name that begins with a dash
\"-\" is also forbidden now.

Sat Aug 5 14:00:00 2017 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.14.0:

history fast-forwards to the upstream.

* \"git describe --contains\" gives as much weight to lightweight
tags as annotated tags

* Fix \"git stash push \" from a subdirectory

Mon Jun 5 14:00:00 2017 astiegerAATTsuse.com

is still warned, for future removal.

* deprecated argument order \"git merge HEAD ...\"
was removed

* default location \"~/.git-credential-cache/socket\" for the

Wed May 10 14:00:00 2017 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.12.3:

* CVE-2017-8386: On a server running git-shell as login shell to
restrict user to git commands, remote users may have been able
to have git service programs spawn an interactive pager
and thus escape the shell restrictions. (bsc#1038395)

- Submit version 2.12.0 to SLE-12 (fate#322294, bsc#977477)

Fri Feb 24 13:00:00 2017 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.12.0:

* Use of an empty string that is used for \'everything matches\' is
still warned and Git asks users to use a more explicit \'.\' for that
instead. The hope is that existing users will not mind this
change, and eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error,
upgrading the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature. That
is not scheduled to happen in the upcoming release (yet).

* The historical argument order \"git merge HEAD ...\"
has been deprecated for quite some time, and will be removed in a
future release.

* An ancient script \"git relink\" has been removed.

* Fix regression in v2.9 affecting \"clone --depth\"

Mon Jun 13 14:00:00 2016 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.9.0:

* commands in the \"git diff\" and \"git log\" family by default
enable the rename detection; use \"diff.renames\" configuration
variable to disable this.

* merging two branches that have no common ancestor with \"git
merge\" is by default forbidden now to prevent creating such an
unusual merge by mistake.

* output formats of \"git log\" that indents the commit log message
by 4 spaces now expands HT in the log message by default.
The \"--no-expand-tabs\" option disables this.

* \"git commit-tree\" plumbing command required the user to always
sign its result when the user sets the commit.gpgsign
configuration variable, this is no longer the case. Scrips
using commit-tree which may rely on this mistake no needs to
read commit.gpgsign and pass the -S option as necessary.

* Many more bug fixes and minor updates.

Tue Jun 7 14:00:00 2016 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.8.4:

* Documentation updates

* \"git fsck\" learned to catch NUL byte in a commit object as
potential error and warn.

* \"git describe --contains\" improvements

* Treat \"http.cookieFile\" config as a path

* Suggest \"submodule deinit --all\" for deinitializing all submodules

* A couple of bugs around core.autocrlf have been fixed.

* \"git difftool\" learned to handle unmerged paths correctly in
dir-diff mode.

Thu May 19 14:00:00 2016 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.8.3:

* \"git send-email\" now uses a more readable timestamps when
formulating a message ID.

* When \"git worktree\" feature is in use, \"git branch -d\" allowed
deletion of a branch that is checked out in another worktree

* When \"git worktree\" feature is in use, \"git branch -m\" renamed a
branch that is checked out in another worktree without adjusting
the HEAD symbolic ref for the worktree.

* \"git format-patch --help\" showed `-s` and `--no-patch` as if these
are valid options to the command. We already hide `--patch` option
from the documentation, because format-patch is about showing the
diff, and the documentation now hides these options as well.

* A change back in version 2.7 to \"git branch\" broke display of a
symbolic ref in a non-standard place in the refs/ hierarchy (we
expect symbolic refs to appear in refs/remotes/
*/HEAD to point at
the primary branch the remote has, and as .git/HEAD to point at the
branch we locally checked out).

* A partial rewrite of \"git submodule\" in the 2.7 timeframe changed
the way the gitdir: pointer in the submodules point at the real
repository location to use absolute paths by accident. This has
been corrected.

* \"git commit\" misbehaved in a few minor ways when an empty message
is given via -m \'\', all of which has been corrected.

* Support for CRAM-MD5 authentication method in \"git imap-send\" did
not work well.

* The socks5:// proxy support added back in 2.6.4 days was not aware
that socks5h:// proxies behave differently.

* \"git config\" had a codepath that tried to pass a NULL to
printf(\"%s\"), which nobody seems to have noticed.

* \"git replace -e\" did not honour \"core.editor\" configuration.

* \"git submodule\" reports the paths of submodules the command
recurses into, but this was incorrect when the command was not run
from the root level of the superproject.

* The \"user.useConfigOnly\" configuration variable makes it an error
if users do not explicitly set user.name and user.email. However,
its check was not done early enough and allowed another error to
trigger, reporting that the default value we guessed from the
system setting was unusable. This was a suboptimal end-user
experience as we want the users to set user.name/user.email without
relying on the auto-detection at all.

* \"git mv old new\" did not adjust the path for a submodule that lives
as a subdirectory inside old/ directory correctly.

* \"git push\" from a corrupt repository that attempts to push a large
number of refs deadlocked; the thread to relay rejection notices
for these ref updates blocked on writing them to the main thread,
after the main thread at the receiving end notices that the push
failed and decides not to read these notices and return a failure.

* A question by \"git send-email\" to ask the identity of the sender
has been updated.

* Recent update to Git LFS broke \"git p4\" by changing the output from
its \"lfs pointer\" subcommand.

* Some multi-byte encoding can have a backslash byte as a later part
of one letter, which would confuse \"highlight\" filter used in
gitweb.

Sat Apr 30 14:00:00 2016 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.8.2:

* \"index-pack --keep=\" was broken since v2.1.0 timeframe.

* \"git config --get-urlmatch\", unlike other variants of the \"git
config --get\" family, did not signal error with its exit status
when there was no matching configuration.

* The \"--local-env-vars\" and \"--resolve-git-dir\" options of \"git
rev-parse\" failed to work outside a repository when the command\'s
option parsing was rewritten in 1.8.5 era.

* Fetching of history by naming a commit object name directly didn\'t
work across remote-curl transport.

* A small memory leak in an error codepath has been plugged in xdiff
code.

* \"git mergetool\" did not work well with conflicts that both sides
deleted.

* \"git send-email\" had trouble parsing alias file in mailrc format
when lines in it had trailing whitespaces on them.

* When \"git merge --squash\" stopped due to conflict, the concluding
\"git commit\" failed to read in the SQUASH_MSG that shows the log
messages from all the squashed commits.

* \"git merge FETCH_HEAD\" dereferenced NULL pointer when merging
nothing into an unborn history (which is arguably unusual usage,
which perhaps was the reason why nobody noticed it).

* \"git diff -M\" used to work better when two originally identical
files A and B got renamed to X/A and X/B by pairing A to X/A and B
to X/B, but this was broken in the 2.0 timeframe.

* \"git send-pack --all \" was broken when its command line
option parsing was written in the 2.6 timeframe.

* When running \"git blame $path\" with unnormalized data in the index
for the path, the data in the working tree was blamed, even though
\"git add\" would not have changed what is already in the index, due
to \"safe crlf\" that disables the line-end conversion. It has been
corrected.

- git 2.7.3:

* \"git show \'HEAD:Foo[BAR]Baz\'\" did not interpret the argument as a
rev, i.e. the object named by the the pathname with wildcard
characters in a tree object.

* \"git rev-parse --git-common-dir\" used in the worktree feature
misbehaved when run from a subdirectory.

* The \"v(iew)\" subcommand of the interactive \"git am -i\" command was
broken in 2.6.0 timeframe when the command was rewritten in C.

* \"git merge-tree\" used to mishandle \"both sides added\" conflict with
its own \"create a fake ancestor file that has the common parts of
what both sides have added and do a 3-way merge\" logic; this has
been updated to use the usual \"3-way merge with an empty blob as
the fake common ancestor file\" approach used in the rest of the
system.

* The documentation did not clearly state that the \'simple\' mode is
now the default for \"git push\" when push.default configuration is
not set.

* Test adjustments for GNU grep, obsoleting
git-2.7.1-fix-tests-grep-2.23.patch

* \"git config section.var value\" to set a value in per-repository
configuration file failed when it was run outside any repository,
but didn\'t say the reason correctly.

* \"git p4\" used to import Perforce CLs that touch only paths
outside the client spec as empty commits. It has been
corrected to ignorethem instead, with a new configuration
git-p4.keepEmptyCommits as a backward compatibility knob.

* Improve error reporting when SMTP TLS fails.

* \"git symbolic-ref\" forgot to report a failure with its exit

* \"git fsck\" used to ignore missing or invalid objects recorded in

* The tcsh completion writes a bash scriptlet but that would have
failed for users with noclobber set.

Wed Jun 17 14:00:00 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.4.4:

* l10n updates for German.

* An earlier leakfix to bitmap testing code was incomplete.

* \"git clean pathspec...\" tried to lstat(2) and complain even for
paths outside the given pathspec.

* Communication between the HTTP server and http_backend process can
lead to a dead-lock when relaying a large ref negotiation request.
Diagnose the situation better, and mitigate it by reading such a
request first into core (to a reasonable limit).

* The clean/smudge interface did not work well when filtering an
empty contents (failed and then passed the empty input through).
It can be argued that a filter that produces anything but empty for
an empty input is nonsense, but if the user wants to do strange
things, then why not?

* Make \"git stash something --help\" error out, so that users can
safely say \"git stash drop --help\".

* Clarify that \"log --raw\" and \"log --format=raw\" are unrelated
concepts.

* Catch a programmer mistake to feed a pointer not an array to
ARRAY_SIZE() macro, by using a couple of GCC extensions.

Wed May 27 14:00:00 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.4.2:

* \"git rev-list --objects $old --not --all\" to see if everything that
is reachable from $old is already connected to the existing refs
was very inefficient.

* \"hash-object --literally\" introduced in v2.2 was not prepared to
take a really long object type name.

* \"git rebase --quiet\" was not quite quiet when there is nothing to
do.

* The completion for \"log --decorate=\" parameter value was incorrect.

* \"filter-branch\" corrupted commit log message that ends with an
incomplete line on platforms with some \"sed\" implementations that
munge such a line. Work it around by avoiding to use \"sed\".

* \"git daemon\" fails to build from the source under NO_IPV6
configuration (regression in 2.4).

* \"git stash pop/apply\" forgot to make sure that not just the working
tree is clean but also the index is clean. The latter is important
as a stash application can conflict and the index will be used for
conflict resolution.

* No longer prepend $GIT_EXEC_PATH and install path to path of
executed subprograms and hooks.

* Improvements for repositories on NFS

Mon May 4 14:00:00 2015 jengelhAATTinai.de
- Update to new upstream release 2.4.0

* \"git push\" has been taught an \"--atomic\" option that makes a push
that updates more than one ref an \"all-or-none\" affair.

* Output from \"git log --decorate\" now distinguishes between a
detached HEAD vs. a HEAD that points at a branch.

* The phrasing `git branch` uses to describe a detached HEAD has
been updated to agree with the phrasing used by `git status`.

* A new \"push.followTags\" configuration turns the \"--follow-tags\"
option on by default for the `git push` command.
- Retrieve tarball signature

Tue Apr 28 14:00:00 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.3.7:

* An earlier update to the parser that disects a URL broke an
address, followed by a colon, followed by an empty string (instead
of the port number), e.g. ssh://example.com:/path/to/repo.

* The completion script (in contrib/) contaminated global namespace
and clobbered on a shell variable $x.

* The \"git push --signed\" protocol extension did not limit what the
\"nonce\" that is a server-chosen string can contain or how long it
can be, which was unnecessarily lax. Limit both the length and the
alphabet to a reasonably small space that can still have enough
entropy.

Sun Apr 26 14:00:00 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.3.6:

* \"diff-highlight\" (in contrib/) multibyte character support

Thu Apr 2 14:00:00 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.3.5:

* The prompt script (in contrib/) did not show the untracked sign
when working in a subdirectory without any untracked files.

* Even though \"git grep --quiet\" is run merely to ask for the exit
status, we spawned the pager regardless. Stop doing that.

* Recommend format-patch and send-email for those who want to
submit patches to this project.

* An failure early in the \"git clone\" that started creating the
working tree and repository could have resulted in some
directories and files left without getting cleaned up.

* \"git fetch\" that fetches a commit using the allow-tip-sha1-in-want
extension could have failed to fetch all the requested refs.

* The split-index mode introduced at v2.3.0-rc0~41 was broken in
the codepath to protect us against a broken reimplementation of
Git that writes an invalid index with duplicated index entries,
etc.

* \"git prune\" used to largely ignore broken refs when deciding
which objects are still being used, which could spread an
existing small damage and make it a larger one.

* \"git tag -h\" used to show the \"--column\" and \"--sort\" options
that are about listing in a wrong section.

* The transfer.hiderefs support did not quite work for smart-http
transport.

* The code that reads from the ctags file in the completion script
(in contrib/) did not spell ${param/pattern/string} substitution
correctly, which happened to work with bash but not with zsh.

* The explanation on \"rebase --preserve-merges\", \"pull
- -rebase=preserve\", and \"push --force-with-lease\" in the
documentation was unclear.

Tue Mar 24 13:00:00 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.3.4:

* The \'color.status.unmerged\' configuration was not described.

* \"git log --decorate\" did not reset colors correctly around the
branch names.

* \"git -C \'\' subcmd\" refused to work in the current directory, unlike
\"cd \'\'\" which silently behaves as a no-op.

* \"git imap-send\" learned to optionally talk with an IMAP server via
libcURL; because there is no other option when Git is built with
NO_OPENSSL option, use that codepath by default under such
configuration.

* A workaround for certain build of GPG that triggered false breakage
in a test has been added.

* \"git rebase -i\" recently started to include the number of
commits in the insn sheet to be processed, but on a platform
that prepends leading whitespaces to \"wc -l\" output, the numbers
are shown with extra whitespaces that aren\'t necessary.

* We did not parse username followed by literal IPv6 address in SSH
transport URLs, e.g. ssh://userAATT[2001:db8::1]:22/repo.git
correctly.

Sat Mar 14 13:00:00 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.3.3:

* A corrupt input to \"git diff -M\" used cause us to segfault.

* The borrowed code in kwset API did not follow our usual convention
to use \"unsigned char\" to store values that range from 0-255.

* Description given by \"grep -h\" for its --exclude-standard option
was phrased poorly.

* Documentaton for \"git remote add\" mentioned \"--tags\" and
\"--no-tags\" and it was not clear that fetch from the remote in
the future will use the default behaviour when neither is given
to override it.

* \"git diff --shortstat --dirstat=changes\" showed a dirstat based on
lines that was never asked by the end user in addition to the
dirstat that the user asked for.

* The interaction between \"git submodule update\" and the
submodule.
*.update configuration was not clearly documented.

* \"git apply\" was not very careful about reading from, removing,
updating and creating paths outside the working tree (under
- -index/--cached) or the current directory (when used as a
replacement for GNU patch).

* \"git daemon\" looked up the hostname even when \"%CH\" and \"%IP\"
interpolations are not requested, which was unnecessary.

* The \"interpolated-path\" option of \"git daemon\" inserted any string
client declared on the \"host=\" capability request without checking.
Sanitize and limit %H and %CH to a saner and a valid DNS name.

Sat Mar 7 13:00:00 2015 astiegerAATTsuse.com
- git 2.3.2:

* \"update-index --refresh\" used to leak when an entry cannot be
refreshed for whatever reason.

* \"git fast-import\" used to crash when it could not close and
conclude the resulting packfile cleanly.

* \"git blame\" died, trying to free an uninitialized piece of memory.

* \"git merge-file\" did not work correctly in a subdirectory.

* \"git submodule add\" failed to squash \"path/to/././submodule\" to
\"path/to/submodule\".

* In v2.2.0, we broke \"git prune\" that runs in a repository that
borrows from an alternate object store.

* Certain older vintages of cURL give irregular output from
\"curl-config --vernum\", which confused our build system.

* Longstanding configuration variable naming rules has been added to
the documentation.

* Older GnuPG implementations may not correctly import the keyring
material we prepare for the tests to use.

* Clarify in the documentation that \"remote..pushURL\" and
\"remote..URL\" are there to name the same repository accessed
via different transports, not two separate repositories.

* The pack bitmap support did not build with older versions of GCC.

* Reading configuration from a blob object, when it ends with a lone
CR, use to confuse the configuration parser.

* We didn\'t format an integer that wouldn\'t fit in \"int\" but in
\"uintmax_t\" correctly.

* \"git push --signed\" gave an incorrectly worded error message when
the other side did not support the capability.

* \"git fetch\" over a remote-helper that cannot respond to \"list\"
command could not fetch from a symbolic reference e.g. HEAD.

* The insn sheet \"git rebase -i\" creates did not fully honor
core.abbrev settings.

* The tests that wanted to see that file becomes unreadable after
running \"chmod a-r file\", and the tests that wanted to make sure it
is not run as root, we used \"can we write into the / directory?\" as
a cheap substitute, but on some platforms that is not a good
heuristics. The tests and their prerequisites have been updated to
check what they really require.

* The configuration variable \'mailinfo.scissors\' was hard to
discover in the documentation.

* Correct a breakage to git-svn around v2.2 era that triggers
premature closing of FileHandle.

* Even though we officially haven\'t dropped Perl 5.8 support, the
Getopt::Long package that came with it does not support \"--no-\"
prefix to negate a boolean option; manually add support to help
people with older Getopt::Long package.

- git 2.3.1:

* The interactive \"show a list and let the user choose from it\"
interface \"add -i\" used showed and prompted to the user even when
the candidate list was empty, against which the only \"choice\" the
user could have made was to choose nothing.

* \"git apply --whitespace=fix\" used to under-allocate the memory
when the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch.

* \"git log --help\" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant
to the \"log\" command.

* The error message from \"git commit\", when a non-existing author
name was given as value to the \"--author=\" parameter, has been
reworded to avoid misunderstanding.

* A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the
dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other
side.

* The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the
only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in
the --raw format.

* Fix a misspelled conditional that is always true.

* Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory
would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file.

* The \"git push\" documentation made the \"--repo=\" option
easily misunderstood.

* After attempting and failing a password-less authentication
(e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based
Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement.

* Setting diff.submodule to \'log\' made \"git format-patch\" produce
broken patches.

* \"git rerere\" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
files and failed to do so for whatever reason.

* \"git blame HEAD -- missing\" failed to correctly say \"HEAD\" when it
tried to say \"No such path \'missing\' in HEAD\".

- git 2.2.2:
+ \"git checkout $treeish $path\", when $path in the index and the
working tree already matched what is in $treeish at the $path,
still overwrote the $path unnecessarily.
+ \"git config --get-color\" did not parse its command line arguments
carefully.
+ A few code paths used abs() when they should have used labs() on
long integers.
+ \"gitweb\" used to depend on a behaviour recent CGI.pm deprecated.
+ \"git init\" (hence \"git clone\") initialized the per-repository
configuration file .git/config with x-bit by mistake.
+ Git 2.0 was supposed to make the \"simple\" mode for the default of
\"git push\", but it didn\'t.
+ \"Everyday\" document had a broken link.
+ The build procedure did not bother fixing perl and python scripts
when NO_PERL and NO_PYTHON build-time configuration changed.
+ The code that reads the reflog from the newer to the older entries
did not handle an entry that crosses a boundary of block it uses to
read them correctly.
+ \"git apply\" was described in the documentation to take --ignore-date
option, which it does not.
+ Traditionally we tried to avoid interpreting date strings given by
the user as future dates, e.g. GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=2014-12-10 when
used early November 2014 was taken as \"October 12, 2014\" because it
is likely that a date in the future, December 10, is a mistake.
This heuristics has been loosened to allow people to express future
dates (most notably, --until= may want to be far in the
future) and we no longer tiebreak by future-ness of the date when
(1) ISO-like format is used, and
(2) the string can make sense interpreted as both y-m-d and y-d-m.
Git may still have to use the heuristics to tiebreak between dd/mm/yy
and mm/dd/yy, though.
+ The code to abbreviate an object name to its short unique prefix
has been optimized when no abbreviation was requested.
+ \"git add --ignore-errors ...\" did not ignore an error to
give a file that did not exist.
+ Git did not correctly read an overlong refname from a packed refs
file.

may be vulnerable.

- Allow snapshot generation in apparmor profile (bnc#905707)

Wed Oct 29 13:00:00 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de
- git 2.1.3:

* Some MUAs mangled a line in a message that begins with \"From \"
to \">From \" when writing to a mailbox file and feeding such an
input to \"git am\" used to lose such a line.

* \"git daemon\" (with NO_IPV6 build configuration) used to
incorrectly use the hostname even when gethostbyname()
reported that the given hostname is not found.

* Newer versions of \'meld\' breaks the auto-detection we use to
see if they are new enough to support the `--output` option.

* \"git pack-objects\" forgot to disable the codepath to generate
object recheability bitmap when it needs to split the resulting
pack.

* \"gitweb\" used deprecated CGI::startfrom, which was removed from
CGI.pm as of 4.04; use CGI::start_from instead.

* \"git log\" documentation had an example section marked up not
quite correctly, which passed AsciiDoc but failed with
AsciiDoctor.

* Also contains some documentation updates.

Tue Sep 30 14:00:00 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de
- git 2.1.2:

* \"git push\" over HTTP transport had an artificial limit on
number of refs that can be pushed imposed by the command line
length.

* When receiving an invalid pack stream that records the same
object twice, multiple threads got confused due to a race.

* An attempt to remove the entire tree in the \"git fast-import\"
input stream caused it to misbehave.

* Reachability check (used in \"git prune\" and friends) did not
add a detached HEAD as a starting point to traverse
objects still in use.

* \"git config --add section.var val\" used to lose existing
section.var whose value was an empty string.

* \"git fsck\" failed to report that it found corrupt objects via
its exit status in some cases.

Sat Sep 20 14:00:00 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de
- git 2.1.1:

* Git 2.0 had a regression where \"git fetch\" into a shallowly
cloned repository from a repository with bitmap object index
enabled did not work correctly. This has been corrected.

* Git 2.0 had a regression which broke (rarely used) \"git diff-tree
- t\". This has been corrected.

* \"git log --pretty/format=\" with an empty format string did not
mean the more obvious \"No output whatsoever\" but \"Use default
format\", which was counterintuitive. Now it means \"nothing shown
for the log message part\".

* \"git -c section.var command\" and \"git -c section.var= command\"
should pass the configuration differently (the former should be a
boolean true, the latter should be an empty string), but they
didn\'t work that way. Now it does.

* Applying a patch not generated by Git in a subdirectory used to
check the whitespace breakage using the attributes for incorrect
paths. Also whitespace checks were performed even for paths
excluded via \"git apply --exclude=\" mechanism.

* \"git bundle create\" with date-range specification were meant to
exclude tags outside the range, but it did not work correctly.

* \"git add x\" where x that used to be a directory has become a
symbolic link to a directory misbehaved.

* The prompt script checked $GIT_DIR/ref/stash file to see if there
is a stash, which was a no-no.

* \"git checkout -m\" did not switch to another branch while carrying
the local changes forward when a path was deleted from the index.

* With sufficiently long refnames, fast-import could have overflown
an on-stack buffer.

* After \"pack-refs --prune\" packed refs at the top-level, it failed
to prune them.

* \"git gc --auto\" triggered from \"git fetch --quiet\" was not quiet.

- git 2.0.4:

* fix output of \"git diff-tree\" broken since 2.0.2

Sat Jul 26 14:00:00 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de
- git 2.0.3:

* An ancient rewrite passed a wrong pointer to a curl library
function in a rarely used code path.

* \"filter-branch\" left an empty single-parent commit that results
when all parents of a merge commit gets mapped to the same
commit, even under \"--prune-empty\".

* \"log --show-signature\" incorrectly decided the color to paint a
mergetag that was and was not correctly validated.

* \"log --show-signature\" did not pay attention to \"--graph\" option.

Thu Jul 24 14:00:00 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de
- git 2.0.2:

* Documentation for \"git submodule sync\" forgot to say that the subcommand
can take the \"--recursive\" option.

* Mishandling of patterns in .gitignore that has trailing SPs quoted
with backslashes (e.g. ones that end with \"\\ \") have been
corrected.

* Recent updates to \"git repack\" started to duplicate objects that
are in packfiles marked with .keep flag into the new packfile by
mistake.

* \"git clone -b brefs/tags/bar\" would have mistakenly thought we were
following a single tag, even though it was a name of the branch,
because it incorrectly used strstr().

* \"%G\" (nothing after G) is an invalid pretty format specifier, but
the parser did not notice it as garbage.

* Code to avoid adding the same alternate object store twice was
subtly broken for a long time, but nobody seems to have noticed.

* A handful of code paths had to read the commit object more than
once when showing header fields that are usually not parsed. The
internal data structure to keep track of the contents of the commit
object has been updated to reduce the need for this double-reading,
and to allow the caller find the length of the object.

* During \"git rebase --merge\", a conflicted patch could not be
skipped with \"--skip\" if the next one also conflicted.

Mon Jun 16 14:00:00 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de
- git 2.0.0
- Backward compatibility notes:

* git push now uses \"simple\" semantics by default instead of
old \"matching\", use variable \"push.default\" to revert

* \"git add -u\" and \"git add -A\" operate on entire tree, use
\"git add -u .\" or \"git add -A .\" for current directory only.

* \"git add \" is the same as \"git add -A \" now, use
\"git add --ignore-removal \" for previous behaviour

* \"-q\" option of \"git diff-files\" has been removed. To ignore
deletion, use \"git diff-files --diff-filter=d\"

* \"git request-pull\" lost a few \"heuristics\"

* default prefix for \"git svn\" remote-tracking branches changed
from refs/remotes to refs/remotes/origin/ unless with \"--prefix\"

Wed Jun 11 14:00:00 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de
- git 1.9.4:

* Commands that take pathspecs on the command line misbehaved
when the pathspec is given as an absolute pathname (which is a
practice not particularly encouraged) that points at a
symbolic link in the working tree.

* An earlier fix to the shell prompt script (in contrib/) for
using the PROMPT_COMMAND interface did not correctly check if
the extra code path needs to trigger, causing the branch name
not to appear when \'promptvars\' option is disabled in bash or
PROMPT_SUBST is unset in zsh.
- switch to xz tarball form kernel.org

Sun May 11 14:00:00 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de
- git 1.9.3:

* \"git p4\" dealing with changes in binary files were broken by a
change in 1.9 release.

* The shell prompt script (in contrib/), when using the
PROMPT_COMMAND interface, used an unsafe construct when showing
the branch name in $PS1.

* Some more Unicode codepoints defined in Unicode 6.3 as having
zero width have been taught to our display column counting
logic.

Sun Apr 13 14:00:00 2014 andreas.stiegerAATTgmx.de
- git 1.9.2:

* Fix an issue with \"git fetch --prune\" removing paths on
multiple fetch

* \"git update-ref --stdin\" did not fail a request to create a
ref when the ref already existed.

* \"git diff --no-index -Mq a b\" fell into an infinite loop.

* Do not override GIT_EDITOR when no commit message is required
to not affect other uses

* \"git status --porcelain --branch\" showed its output with labels
\"ahead/behind/gone\" translated to the user\'s locale.

* \"git mv\" that moves a submodule forgot to adjust the array that
uses to keep track of which submodules were to be moved to
update its configuration

* Length limit for the pathname used when removing a path in a
deep subdirectory has been removed to avoid buffer overflows.

* \"git index-pack\" used a wrong variable to name the keep-file in
an error message when the file cannot be written or closed.

* \"rebase -i\" produced a broken insn sheet when the title of a
commit happened to contain \'\
\' (or ended with \'\\c\') due to a
careless use of \'echo\'.

* Serving objects from a shallow repository needs to write a
new file to hold the temporary shallow boundaries but it was not
cleaned when we exit due to die() or a signal.

* When \"git stash pop\" stops after failing to apply the stash
(e.g. due to conflicting changes), the stash is not dropped.
State that explicitly in the output to let the users know.

* The labels in \"git status\" output that describe the nature of
conflicts (e.g. \"both deleted\") were limited to 20 bytes, which
was too short for some l10n (e.g. fr).

* minor documentation updates

* The bisect log listed incorrect commits when bisection ends with

* The test coverage framework was left broken for some time.

* The test suite for HTTP transport did not run with Apache 2.4.

* \"git diff\" used to fail when core.safecrlf is set and the working
tree contents had mixed CRLF/LF line endings. Committing such a
content must be prohibited, but \"git diff\" should help the user to
locate and fix such problems without failing.

Wed Jan 30 13:00:00 2013 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.8.1.2:

* An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the
real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused
the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling.

* Command line completion for \"tcsh\" emitted an unwanted space
after completing a single directory name.

* Command line completion leaked an unnecessary error message while
looking for possible matches with paths in .

* \"git archive\" did not record uncompressed size in the header when
streaming a zip archive, which confused some implementations of unzip.

* When users spelled \"cc:\" in lowercase in the fake \"header\" in the
trailer part, \"git send-email\" failed to pick up the addresses from
there. As e-mail headers field names are case insensitive, this
script should follow suit and treat \"cc:\" and \"Cc:\" the same way.
Also contains various documentation fixes.

Fri Dec 14 13:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.8.0.2:

* Various codepaths have workaround for a common misconfiguration to
spell \"UTF-8\" as \"utf8\", but it was not used uniformly. Most
notably, mailinfo (which is used by \"git am\") lacked this support.

* We failed to mention a file without any content change but whose
permission bit was modified, or (worse yet) a new file without any
content in the \"git diff --stat\" output.

* When \"--stat-count\" hides a diffstat for binary contents, the total
number of added and removed lines at the bottom was computed
incorrectly.

* When \"--stat-count\" hides a diffstat for unmerged paths, the total
number of affected files at the bottom of the \"diff --stat\" output
was computed incorrectly.

* \"diff --shortstat\" miscounted the total number of affected files
when there were unmerged paths.

* \"git p4\" used to try expanding malformed \"$keyword$\" that spans
across multiple lines.

* \"git update-ref -d --deref SYM\" to delete a ref through a symbolic
ref that points to it did not remove it correctly.

* Syntax highlighting in \"gitweb\" was not quite working.
Also contains other minor fixes and documentation updates.

Thu Oct 18 14:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.7.12.4:

* \"git fetch\" over the dumb-http revision walker could segfault when
curl\'s multi interface was used.

* It was possible to give specific paths for \"asciidoc\" and other
tools in the documentation toolchain, but not for \"xmlto\".

* \"gitweb\" did not give the correct committer timezone in its feed
output due to a typo.

* The \"-Xours\" (and similarly -Xtheirs) backend option to \"git
merge -s recursive\" was ignored for binary files. Now it is
honored.

* The \"binary\" synthetic attribute made \"diff\" to treat the path as
binary, but not \"merge\".
Also contains many documentation updates.

Thu Oct 11 14:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.7.12.3:

* \"git am\" mishandled a patch attached as application/octet-stream
(e.g. not text/
*); Content-Transfer-Encoding (e.g. base64) was not
honored correctly.

* It was unclear in the documentation for \"git blame\" that it is
unnecessary for users to use the \"--follow\" option.

* A repository created with \"git clone --single\" had its fetch
refspecs set up just like a clone without \"--single\", leading the
subsequent \"git fetch\" to slurp all the other branches, defeating
the whole point of specifying \"only this branch\".

* \"git fetch\" over http had an old workaround for an unlikely server
misconfiguration; it turns out that this hurts debuggability of the
configuration in general, and has been reverted.

* \"git fetch\" over http advertised that it supports \"deflate\", which
is much less common, and did not advertise the more common \"gzip\" on
its Accept-Encoding header.

* \"git receive-pack\" (the counterpart to \"git push\") did not give
progress output while processing objects it received to the puser
when run over the smart-http protocol.

* \"git status\" honored the ignore=dirty settings in .gitmodules but
\"git commit\" didn\'t.
Also contains a handful of documentation updates.

- Use ./.make also in %check to test exactly what was built
- Avoid duplicate file warnings

Fri Oct 5 14:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.7.12.2:

* When \"git am\" is fed an input that has multiple \"Content-type: ...\"
header, it did not grok charset= attribute correctly.

* Even during a conflicted merge, \"git blame $path\" always meant to
blame uncommitted changes to the \"working tree\" version; make it
more useful by showing cleanly merged parts as coming from the other
branch that is being merged.

* \"git blame MAKEFILE\" run in a history that has \"Makefile\" but not
\"MAKEFILE\" should say \"No such file MAKEFILE in HEAD\", but got
confused on a case insensitive filesystem and failed to do so.

* \"git fetch --all\", when passed \"--no-tags\", did not honor the
\"--no-tags\" option while fetching from individual remotes (the same
issue existed with \"--tags\", but combination \"--all --tags\" makes
much less sense than \"--all --no-tags\").

* \"git log/diff/format-patch --stat\" showed the \"N line(s) added\"
comment in user\'s locale and caused careless submitters to send
patches with such a line in them to projects whose project language
is not their language, mildly irritating others. Localization to
the line has been disabled for now.

* \"git log --all-match --grep=A --grep=B\" ought to show commits that
mention both A and B, but when these three options are used with
- -author or --committer, it showed commits that mention either A or
B (or both) instead.

* The subcommand to remove the definition of a remote in \"git remote\"
was named \"rm\" even though all other subcommands were spelled out.
Introduce \"git remote remove\" to remove confusion, and keep \"rm\" as
a backward compatible synonym.
Also contains a handful of documentation updates.

Tue Sep 25 14:00:00 2012 douglarekAATToutlook.com
- updated to version 1.7.12.1:

* \"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.

* \"git cherry-pick A C B\" used to replay changes in A and then B and
then C if these three commits had committer timestamps in that
order, which is not what the user who said \"A C B\" naturally
expects.

* \"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).

* Some capabilities were asked by fetch-pack even when upload-pack
did not advertise that they are available. fetch-pack has been
fixed not to do so.

* \"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.

* \"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.

* 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 prune\" without \"-v\" used to warn about leftover temporary
files (which is an indication of an earlier aborted operation).

* 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.

* The reflog entries left by \"git rebase\" and \"git rebase -i\" were
inconsistent (the interactive one gave an abbreviated object name).

* 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.

* \"git show --quiet\" ought to be a synonym for \"git show -s\", but
wasn\'t.

* \"git show --format=\'%ci\'\" did not give timestamp correctly for
commits created without human readable name on \"committer\" line.

* \"git send-email\" did not unquote encoded words that appear on the
header correctly, and lost \"_\" from strings.

* The interactive prompt \"git send-email\" gives was error prone. It
asked \"What e-mail address do you want to use?\" with the address it
guessed (correctly) the user would want to use in its prompt,
tempting the user to say \"y\". But the response was taken as \"No,
please use \'y\' as the e-mail address instead\", which is most
certainly not what the user meant.

* \"gitweb\" when used with PATH_INFO failed to notice directories with
SP (and other characters that need URL-style quoting) in them.

* 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.

* When the user exports a non-default IFS without HT, scripts that
rely on being able to parse \"ls-files -s | while read a b c...\"
started to fail. Protect them from such a misconfiguration.

* The attribute system may be asked for a path that itself or its
leading directories no longer exists in the working tree, and it is
fine if we cannot open .gitattribute file in such a case. Failure
to open per-directory .gitattributes with error status other than
ENOENT and ENOTDIR should be diagnosed, but it wasn\'t.

* 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\".

* \"ciabot\" script (in contrib/) has been updated with extensive
documentation.

* \"git-jump\" script (in contrib/) did not work well when
diff.noprefix or diff.mnemonicprefix is in effect.

* 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.

* A utility shell function test_seq has been added as a replacement
for the \'seq\' utility found on some platforms.

* Compatibility wrapper to learn the maximum number of file
descriptors we can open around sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) and
getrlimit(RLIMIT_NO_FILE) has been introduced for portability.

* We used curl_easy_strerror() without checking version of cURL,
breaking the build for versions before curl 7.12.0.

* Code to work around MacOS X UTF-8 gotcha has been cleaned up.

* Fallback \'getpass\' implementation made unportable use of stdio API.

* The \"--rebase\" option to \"git pull\" can be abbreviated to \"-r\",
but we didn\'t document it.

* 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 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.
Also contains numerous documentation updates.

Wed Sep 12 14:00:00 2012 frank.lichtenheldAATTsophos.com
- git-prompt.sh (for __git_ps1) was broken out of
git-completion.bash. Install it too.

Tue Sep 11 14:00:00 2012 tiwaiAATTsuse.de

new options, new commands:
See Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.12.txt for details.
- fix broken bash completion when egrep is aliased with --color
option (bnc#779536)

Thu Aug 16 14:00:00 2012 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to version 1.7.11.5:

* The Makefile rule to create assembly output (primarily for
debugging purposes) did not create it next to the source.

* The code to avoid mistaken attempt to add the object directory
itself as its own alternate could read beyond end of a string while
comparison.

* On some architectures, \"block-sha1\" did not compile correctly
when compilers inferred alignment guarantees from our source we
did not intend to make.

* When talking to a remote running ssh on IPv6 enabled host, whose
address is spelled as \"[HOST]:PORT\", we did not parse the address
correctly and failed to connect.

* git-blame.el (in compat/) have been updated to use Elisp more
correctly.

* \"git checkout \" to come back from a detached HEAD state
incorrectly computed reachability of the detached HEAD, resulting
in unnecessary warnings.

* \"git mergetool\" did not support --tool-help option to give the list
of supported backends, like \"git difftool\" does.

* \"git grep\" stopped spawning an external \"grep\" long time ago, but a
duplicated test to check internal and external \"grep\" was left
behind.

Tue Aug 7 14:00:00 2012 tiwaiAATTsuse.de

Tue May 29 14:00:00 2012 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to version 1.7.10.3:

* From this release on, the \"git merge\" command in an interactive
session will start an editor when it automatically resolves the
merge for the user to explain the resulting commit, just like the
\"git commit\" command does when it wasn\'t given a commit message.

* The \"--binary/-b\" options to \"git am\" have been a no-op for quite a
while and were deprecated in mid 2008 (v1.6.0). When you give these
options to \"git am\", it will now warn and ask you not to use them.

* When you do not tell which branches and tags to push to the \"git
push\" command in any way, the command used \"matching refs\" rule to
update remote branches and tags with branches and tags with the
same name you locally have.
See details and more changes in Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.10.txt,
1.7.10.1.txt, 1.7.10.2.txt and 1.7.10.3.txt.

- Fix build on SLE_11, seems %files there doesn\'t support more
than one -f option

Mon Feb 27 13:00:00 2012 saschpeAATTsuse.de
- Update to version 1.7.9.2:

* Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not like a pattern that
begins with a dash to be passed to __git_ps1 helper function.

* Adaptation of the bash completion script (in contrib/) for zsh
incorrectly listed all subcommands when \"git \" was given
to ask for list of porcelain subcommands.

* The build procedure for profile-directed optimized binary was not
working very well.

* Some systems need to explicitly link -lcharset to get locale_charset().

* t5541 ignored user-supplied port number used for HTTP server testing.

* The error message emitted when we see an empty loose object was
not phrased correctly.

* The code to ask for password did not fall back to the terminal
input when GIT_ASKPASS is set but does not work (e.g. lack of X
with GUI askpass helper).

* We failed to give the true terminal width to any subcommand when
they are invoked with the pager, i.e. \"git -p cmd\".

* map_user() was not rewriting its output correctly, which resulted
in the user visible symptom that \"git blame -e\" sometimes showed
excess \'>\' at the end of email addresses.

* \"git checkout -b\" did not allow switching out of an unborn branch.

* When you have both .../foo and .../foo.git, \"git clone .../foo\" did not
favor the former but the latter.

* \"git commit\" refused to create a commit when entries added with
\"add -N\" remained in the index, without telling Git what their content
in the next commit should be. We should have created the commit without
these paths.

* \"git diff --stat\" said \"files\", \"insertions\", and \"deletions\" even
when it is showing one \"file\", one \"insertion\" or one \"deletion\".

* The output from \"git diff --stat\" for two paths that have the same
amount of changes showed graph bars of different length due to the
way we handled rounding errors.

* \"git grep\" did not pay attention to -diff (hence -binary) attribute.

* The transport programs (fetch, push, clone)ignored --no-progress
and showed progress when sending their output to a terminal.

* Sometimes error status detected by a check in an earlier phase of
\"git receive-pack\" (the other end of \"git push\") was lost by later
checks, resulting in false indication of success.

* \"git rev-list --verify\" sometimes skipped verification depending on
the phase of the moon, which dates back to 1.7.8.x series.

* Search box in \"gitweb\" did not accept non-ASCII characters correctly.

* Search interface of \"gitweb\" did not show multiple matches in the same file
correctly.

Thu Feb 9 13:00:00 2012 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to v1.7.9:

* gitk updates accumulated since early 2011.

* git-gui updated to 0.16.0.

* git-p4 (in contrib/) updates.

* Git uses gettext to translate its most common interface messages
into the user\'s language if translations are available and the
locale is appropriately set. Distributors can drop new PO files
in po/ to add new translations.

* The code to handle username/password for HTTP transactions used in
\"git push\" & \"git fetch\" learned to talk \"credential API\" to
external programs to cache or store them, to allow integration with
platform native keychain mechanisms.

* The input prompts in the terminal use our own getpass() replacement
when possible. HTTP transactions used to ask for the username without
echoing back what was typed, but with this change you will see it as
you type.

* The internals of \"revert/cherry-pick\" have been tweaked to prepare
building more generic \"sequencer\" on top of the implementation that
drives them.

* \"git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD\" after \"git fetch\" without specifying
what to fetch from the command line will now show the commit that
would be merged if the command were \"git pull\".

* \"git add\" learned to stream large files directly into a packfile
instead of writing them into individual loose object files.

* \"git checkout -B \" is a more intuitive
way to spell \"git reset --keep \".

* \"git checkout\" and \"git merge\" learned \"--no-overwrite-ignore\" option
to tell Git that untracked and ignored files are not expendable.

* \"git commit --amend\" learned \"--no-edit\" option to say that the
user is amending the tree being recorded, without updating the
commit log message.

* \"git commit\" and \"git reset\" re-learned the optimization to prime
the cache-tree information in the index, which makes it faster to
write a tree object out after the index entries are updated.

* \"git commit\" detects and rejects an attempt to stuff NUL byte in
the commit log message.

* \"git commit\" learned \"-S\" to GPG-sign the commit; this can be shown
with the \"--show-signature\" option to \"git log\".

* fsck and prune are relatively lengthy operations that still go
silent while making the end-user wait. They learned to give progress
output like other slow operations.

* The set of built-in function-header patterns for various languages
knows MATLAB.

* \"git log --format=\'\'\" learned new %g[nNeE] specifiers to
show information from the reflog entries when walking the reflog
(i.e. with \"-g\").

* \"git pull\" can be used to fetch and merge an annotated/signed tag,
instead of the tip of a topic branch. The GPG signature from the
signed tag is recorded in the resulting merge commit for later
auditing.

* \"git log\" learned \"--show-signature\" option to show the signed tag
that was merged that is embedded in the merge commit. It also can
show the signature made on the commit with \"git commit -S\".

* \"git branch --edit-description\" can be used to add descriptive text
to explain what a topic branch is about.

* \"git fmt-merge-msg\" learned to take the branch description into
account when preparing a merge summary that \"git merge\" records
when merging a local branch.

* \"git request-pull\" has been updated to convey more information
useful for integrators to decide if a topic is worth merging and
what is pulled is indeed what the requestor asked to pull,
including:
- the tip of the branch being requested to be merged;
- the branch description describing what the topic is about;
- the contents of the annotated tag, when requesting to pull a tag.

* \"git pull\" learned to notice \'pull.rebase\' configuration variable,
which serves as a global fallback for setting \'branch..rebase\'
configuration variable per branch.

* \"git tag\" learned \"--cleanup\" option to control how the whitespaces
and empty lines in tag message are cleaned up.

* \"gitweb\" learned to show side-by-side diff.

Fri Jan 27 13:00:00 2012 jpscheweAATTmtu.net
- Added the ability to specify the user and group that git-daemon run
as (bnc#742661).

Wed Jan 11 13:00:00 2012 idonmezAATTsuse.com
- Update to v1.7.8.3

* Attempt to fetch from an empty file pretending it to be a bundle did
not error out correctly.

* gitweb did not correctly fall back to configured $fallback_encoding
that is not \'latin1\'.

* \"git clone --depth $n\" did not catch a non-number given as $n as an
error.

* Porcelain commands like \"git reset\" did not distinguish deletions
and type-changes from ordinary modification, and reported them with
the same \'M\' moniker. They now use \'D\' (for deletion) and \'T\' (for
type-change) to match \"git status -s\" and \"git diff --name-status\".

* You could make \"git commit\" segfault by giving the \"--no-message\"
option.

* \"git checkout -m\" did not recreate the conflicted state in a \"both
sides added, without any common ancestor version\" conflict
situation.

* git native connection going over TCP (not over SSH) did not set
SO_KEEPALIVE option which failed to receive link layer errors.

* \"fast-import\" did not correctly update an existing notes tree,
possibly corrupting the fan-out.

* \"git log --follow\" did not honor the rename threshold score given
with the -M option (e.g. \"-M50%\").

* Authenticated \"git push\" over dumb HTTP were broken with a recent
change and failed without asking for password when username is
given.

* \"git push\" to an empty repository over HTTP were broken with a
recent change to the ref handling.

* \"git push -v\" forgot how to be verbose by mistake. It now properly
becomes verbose when asked to.

* When a \"reword\" action in \"git rebase -i\" failed to run \"commit --amend\",
we did not give the control back to the user to resolve the situation, and
instead kept the original commit log message.

* \"git apply --check\" did not error out when given an empty input
without any patch.

* \"git archive\" mistakenly allowed remote clients to ask for commits
that are not at the tip of any ref.

* \"git checkout\" and \"git merge\" treated in-tree .gitignore and exclude
file in $GIT_DIR/info/ directory inconsistently when deciding which
untracked files are ignored and expendable.

* The function header pattern for files with \"diff=cpp\" attribute did
not consider \"type
*funcname(type param1,...\" as the beginning of a
function.

* The error message from \"git diff\" and \"git status\" when they fail
to inspect changes in submodules did not report which submodule they
had trouble with.

* \"git pack-objects\" avoids creating cyclic dependencies among deltas
when seeing a broken packfile that records the same object in both
the deflated form and as a delta.

Tue Dec 13 13:00:00 2011 idonmezAATTsuse.com
- Implement %check via make test
- Update to v1.7.8
New features:

* The date parser now accepts timezone designators that lack minutes
part and also has a colon between \"hh:mm\".

* The contents of the /etc/mailname file, if exists, is used as the
default value of the hostname part of the committer/author e-mail.

* \"git am\" learned how to read from patches generated by Hg.

* \"git archive\" talking with a remote repository can report errors
from the remote side in a more informative way.

* \"git branch\" learned an explicit --list option to ask for branches
listed, optionally with a glob matching pattern to limit its output.

* \"git check-attr\" learned \"--cached\" option to look at .gitattributes
files from the index, not from the working tree.

* Variants of \"git cherry-pick\" and \"git revert\" that take multiple
commits learned to \"--continue\" and \"--abort\".

* \"git daemon\" gives more human readble error messages to clients
using ERR packets when appropriate.

* Errors at the network layer is logged by \"git daemon\".

* \"git diff\" learned \"--minimal\" option to spend extra cycles to come
up with a minimal patch output.

* \"git diff\" learned \"--function-context\" option to show the whole
function as context that was affected by a change.

* \"git difftool\" can be told to skip launching the tool for a path by
answering \'n\' to its prompt.

* \"git fetch\" learned to honor transfer.fsckobjects configuration to
validate the objects that were received from the other end, just like
\"git receive-pack\" (the receiving end of \"git push\") does.

* \"git fetch\" makes sure that the set of objects it received from the
other end actually completes the history before updating the refs.
\"git receive-pack\" (the receiving end of \"git push\") learned to do the
same.

* \"git fetch\" learned that fetching/cloning from a regular file on the
filesystem is not necessarily a request to unpack a bundle file; the
file could be \".git\" with \"gitdir: \" in it.

* \"git for-each-ref\" learned \"%(contents:subject)\", \"%(contents:body)\"
and \"%(contents:signature)\". The last one is useful for signed tags.

* \"git grep\" used to incorrectly pay attention to .gitignore files
scattered in the directory it was working in even when \"--no-index\"
option was used. It no longer does this. The \"--exclude-standard\"
option needs to be given to explicitly activate the ignore
mechanism.

* \"git grep\" learned \"--untracked\" option, where given patterns are
searched in untracked (but not ignored) files as well as tracked
files in the working tree, so that matches in new but not yet
added files do not get missed.

* The recursive merge backend no longer looks for meaningless
existing merges in submodules unless in the outermost merge.

* \"git log\" and friends learned \"--children\" option.

* \"git ls-remote\" learned to respond to \"-h\"(elp) requests.

* \"mediawiki\" remote helper can interact with (surprise!) MediaWiki
with \"git fetch\" & \"git push\".

* \"git merge\" learned the \"--edit\" option to allow users to edit the
merge commit log message.

* \"git rebase -i\" can be told to use special purpose editor suitable
only for its insn sheet via sequence.editor configuration variable.

* \"git send-email\" learned to respond to \"-h\"(elp) requests.

* \"git send-email\" allows the value given to sendemail.aliasfile to begin
with \"~/\" to refer to the $HOME directory.

* \"git send-email\" forces use of Authen::SASL::Perl to work around
issues between Authen::SASL::Cyrus and AUTH PLAIN/LOGIN.

* \"git stash\" learned \"--include-untracked\" option to stash away
untracked/ignored cruft from the working tree.

* \"git submodule clone\" does not leak an error message to the UI
level unnecessarily anymore.

* \"git submodule update\" learned to honor \"none\" as the value for
submodule..update to specify that the named submodule should
not be checked out by default.

* When populating a new submodule directory with \"git submodule init\",
the $GIT_DIR metainformation directory for submodules is created inside
$GIT_DIR/modules// directory of the superproject and referenced
via the gitfile mechanism. This is to make it possible to switch
between commits in the superproject that has and does not have the
submodule in the tree without re-cloning.

* \"gitweb\" leaked unescaped control characters from syntax hiliter
outputs.

* \"gitweb\" can be told to give custom string at the end of the HTML
HEAD element.

* \"gitweb\" now has its own manual pages.
Bugfixes since v1.7.7

* HTTP transport did not use pushurl correctly, and also did not tell
what host it is trying to authenticate with when asking for
credentials.
(merge deba493 jk/http-auth later to maint).

* \"git blame\" was aborted if started from an uncommitted content and
the path had the textconv filter in effect.
(merge 8518088 ss/blame-textconv-fake-working-tree later to maint).

* Adding many refs to the local repository in one go (e.g. \"git fetch\"
that fetches many tags) and looking up a ref by name in a repository
with too many refs were unnecessarily slow.
(merge 17d68a54d jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted later to maint).

* Report from \"git commit\" on untracked files was confused under
core.ignorecase option.
(merge 395c7356 jk/name-hash-dirent later to maint).

* \"git merge\" did not understand \":/\" as a way to name a commit.
\" \"git push\" on the receiving end used to call post-receive and post-update
hooks for attempted removal of non-existing refs.
(merge 160b81ed ph/push-to-delete-nothing later to maint).

* Help text for \"git remote set-url\" and \"git remote set-branches\"
were misspelled.
(merge c49904e fc/remote-seturl-usage-fix later to maint).
(merge 656cdf0 jc/remote-setbranches-usage-fix later to maint).

See details in
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/RelNotes-1.7.0.txt
Notes on behaviour change:

* \"git push\" into a branch that is currently checked out (i.e. pointed at by
HEAD in a repository that is not bare) is refused by default.

* \"git send-email\" does not make deep threads by default when sending a
patch series with more than two messages. All messages will be sent
as a reply to the first message, i.e. cover letter.

* \"git status\" is not \"git commit --dry-run\" anymore. This change does
not affect you if you run the command without argument.

* \"git diff\" traditionally treated various \"ignore whitespace\" options
only as a way to filter the patch output. \"git diff --exit-code -b\"
exited with non-zero status even if all changes were about changing the
amount of whitespace and nothing else; and \"git diff -b\" showed the
\"diff --git\" header line for such a change without patch text.

* External diff and textconv helpers are now executed using the shell.
This makes them consistent with other programs executed by git, and
allows you to pass command-line parameters to the helpers. Any helper
paths containing spaces or other metacharacters now need to be
shell-quoted. The affected helpers are GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF in the
environment, and diff.
*.command and diff.
*.textconv in the config
file.

* The --max-pack-size argument to \'git repack\', \'git pack-objects\', and
\'git fast-import\' was assuming the provided size to be expressed in MiB,
unlike the corresponding config variable and other similar options accepting
a size value. It is now expecting a size expressed in bytes, with a possible
unit suffix of \'k\', \'m\', or \'g\'.
- added git-remote-helpers sub-package for python helpers

- updated to 1.6.3:

* major version update: git push behavior change,
With the next major release, \"git push\" into a branch that is
currently checked out will be refused by default. You can
choose what should happen upon such a push by setting the
configuration

* Detailed changelog found at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/RelNotes-1.6.3.txt

Mon Apr 20 14:00:00 2009 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to 1.6.2.4:

* The configuration parser had a buffer overflow while parsing
an overlong value.

* pruning reflog entries that are unreachable from the tip of
the ref during \"git reflog prune\" (hence \"git gc\") was very
inefficient.

* \"git-add -p\" lacked a way to say \"q\"uit to refuse staging any
hunks for the remaining paths. You had to say \"d\" and then ^C.

* \"git-checkout \" did not update the index
entry at the named path; it now does.

* \"git-fast-export\" choked when seeing a tag that does not point
at commit.

* \"git init\" segfaulted when given an overlong template location
via the --template= option.

* \"git-ls-tree\" and \"git-diff-tree\" used a pathspec correctly
when deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not
match the individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs
\"abc/d ab\" to match \"abc/0\" (\"abc/d\" made them decide to
descend into the directory \"abc/\", and then \"ab\" incorrectly
matched \"abc/0\" when it shouldn\'t).

* \"git-merge-recursive\" was broken when a submodule entry was
involved in a criss-cross merge situation.

Thu Apr 16 14:00:00 2009 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to 1.6.2.2:

* A longstanding confusing description of what --pickaxe option
of git-diff does has been clarified in the documentation.

* \"git-blame -S\" did not quite work near the commits that were
given on the command line correctly.

* \"git diff --pickaxe-regexp\" did not count overlapping matches
correctly.

* \"git diff\" did not feed files in work-tree representation to
external diff and textconv.

* \"git-fetch\" in a repository that was not cloned from anywhere
said it cannot find \'origin\', which was hard to understand for
new people.

* \"git-format-patch --numbered-files --stdout\" did not have to
die of incompatible options; it now simply ignores
- -numbered-files as no files are produced anyway.

* \"git-ls-files --deleted\" did not work well with GIT_DIR&GIT_WORK_TREE.

* \"git-read-tree A B C...\" without -m option has been broken for
a long time.

* git-send-email ignored --in-reply-to when --no-thread was given.

* \'git-submodule add\' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in
the path it accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient.

* git-svn misbehaved when the project contained a path that began
with two dashes.

* import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common
directory prefix correctly.

* miscompilation of negated enum constants by old gcc (2.9)
affected the codepaths to spawn subprocesses.
- updated to 1.6.2.3:

* Setting an octal mode value to core.sharedrepository
configuration to restrict access to the repository to group
members did not work as advertised.

* A fairly large and trivial memory leak while rev-list shows
list of reachable objects has been identified and plugged.

* \"git-commit --interactive\" did not abort when underlying
\"git-add -i\" signaled a failure.

* git-repack (invoked from git-gc) did not work as nicely as it
should in a repository that borrows objects from neighbours
via alternates mechanism especially when some packs are marked
with the \".keep\" flag to prevent them from being repacked.
- fix the start-check in git-daemon script (bnc#494824)

Mon Mar 16 13:00:00 2009 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to 1.6.2.1:

* .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism
for comment introduction character \"#\".

* timestamp output in --date=relative mode used to display
timestamps that are long time ago in the default mode

* git-add -i/-p now works with non-ASCII pathnames.

* \"git hash-object -w\" did not read from the configuration file
from the correct .git directory.

* git-send-email learned to correctly handle multiple Cc:
addresses.

Thu Mar 5 13:00:00 2009 tiwaiAATTsuse.de
- updated to 1.6.2:

* AATT{-1} is a way to refer to the last branch you were on.

* The location of .mailmap file can be configured

* Improvements on \"git add -p\"

* Improvements on \"git am\" behavior and options

* \"git blame\" aligns author names better

* \"git clone\" now makes its best effort when cloning from an
empty repository

* \"git checkout -\" is a shorthand for \"git checkout AATT{-1}\".

* \"git cherry\" defaults to whatever the current branch is
tracking (if exists) when the argument is not given.

* \"git cvsserver\" fixes / improvements

* New options for \"git diff\"

* New options for \"git filter-branch\"

* \"git fsck\" now checks loose objects in alternate object
stores

* \"git gc --prune\" was resurrected to allow \"git gc --no-prune\"

* \"git reset --merge\" option

* \"git submodule update\" learned --no-fetch option.

* \"git tag\" learned --contains
