Git v1.8.5.3 Release Notes ========================== Fixes since v1.8.5.2 -------------------- * The "--[no-]informative-errors" options to "git daemon" were parsed a bit too loosely, allowing any other string after these option names. * A "gc" process running as a different user should be able to stop a new "gc" process from starting. * An earlier "clean-up" introduced an unnecessary memory leak to the credential subsystem. * "git mv A B/", when B does not exist as a directory, should error out, but it didn't. * "git rev-parse -- " did not implement the usual disambiguation rules the commands in the "git log" family used in the same way. * "git cat-file --batch=", an admittedly useless command, did not behave very well. Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Changes since v1.8.5.2 are as follows: Jeff King (5): rev-parse: correctly diagnose revision errors before "--" rev-parse: be more careful with munging arguments cat-file: pass expand_data to print_object_or_die cat-file: handle --batch format with missing type/size Revert "prompt: clean up strbuf usage" Johannes Sixt (1): mv: let 'git mv file no-such-dir/' error out on Windows, too Junio C Hamano (1): Git 1.8.5.3 Kyle J. McKay (1): gc: notice gc processes run by other users Matthieu Moy (1): mv: let 'git mv file no-such-dir/' error out Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (1): daemon: be strict at parsing parameters --[no-]informative-errors Ralf Thielow (1): l10n: de.po: fix translation of 'prefix' Ramkumar Ramachandra (1): for-each-ref: remove unused variable Thomas Ackermann (1): pack-heuristics.txt: mark up the file header properly W. Trevor King (1): Documentation/gitmodules: Only 'update' and 'url' are required
