Hopefully this will be the last update to the 1.8.5.x series. The release tarballs are found at: http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list and their SHA-1 checksums are: 7bb4ea883b1f8f6f7f927035f85e8e27b57e0194 git-1.8.5.5.tar.gz 39dd7979c8757d2dc4bc3aaa82741ba93557d566 git-htmldocs-1.8.5.5.tar.gz a4a2aef1440d4751f37c65359da57c9bd51a7beb git-manpages-1.8.5.5.tar.gz The following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.8.5.5 tag and the maint branch that the tag points at: url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/ url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core url = https://github.com/gitster/git Also, http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ has copies of the release tarballs. Git v1.8.5.5 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.8.5.4 -------------------- * The pathspec matching code, while comparing two trees (e.g. "git diff A B -- path1 path2") was too aggressive and failed to match some paths when multiple pathspecs were involved. * "git repack --max-pack-size=8g" stopped being parsed correctly when the command was reimplemented in C. * A recent update to "git send-email" broke platforms where /etc/ssl/certs/ directory exists but cannot be used as SSL_ca_path (e.g. Fedora rawhide). * A handful of bugs around interpreting $branch@{upstream} notation and its lookalike, when $branch part has interesting characters, e.g. "@", and ":", have been fixed. * "git clone" would fail to clone from a repository that has a ref directly under "refs/", e.g. "refs/stash", because different validation paths do different things on such a refname. Loosen the client side's validation to allow such a ref. * "git log --left-right A...B" lost the "leftness" of commits reachable from A when A is a tag as a side effect of a recent bugfix. This is a regression in 1.8.4.x series. * "git merge-base --octopus" used to leave cleaning up suboptimal result to the caller, but now it does the clean-up itself. * "git mv A B/", when B does not exist as a directory, should error out, but it didn't. Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.8.5.4 are as follows: Andy Spencer (1): tree_entry_interesting: match against all pathspecs Jeff King (9): fetch-pack: do not filter out one-level refs interpret_branch_name: factor out upstream handling interpret_branch_name: rename "cp" variable to "at" interpret_branch_name: always respect "namelen" parameter interpret_branch_name: avoid @{upstream} past colon interpret_branch_name: find all possible @-marks repack: fix typo in max-pack-size option repack: make parsed string options const-correct repack: propagate pack-objects options as strings Junio C Hamano (5): merge-base: separate "--independent" codepath into its own helper merge-base --octopus: reduce the result from get_octopus_merge_bases() revision: mark contents of an uninteresting tree uninteresting revision: propagate flag bits from tags to pointees Git 1.8.5.5 Ruben Kerkhof (1): send-email: /etc/ssl/certs/ directory may not be usable as ca_path
