1.7.7.2

Git v1.7.7.2 Release Notes ==========================

Fixes since v1.7.7.1 --------------------

• We used to drop error messages from libcurl on certain kinds of errors.

• Error report from smart HTTP transport, when the connection was broken in the middle of a transfer, showed a useless message on a corrupt packet.

• "git fetch --prune" was unsafe when used with refspecs from the command line.

• The attribute mechanism did not use case insensitive match when core.ignorecase was set.

• "git bisect" did not notice when it failed to update the working tree to the next commit to be tested.

• "git config --bool --get-regexp" failed to separate the variable name and its value "true" when the variable is defined without "= true".

• "git remote rename $a $b" were not careful to match the remote name against $a (i.e. source side of the remote nickname).

• "git mergetool" did not use its arguments as pathspec, but as a path to the file that may not even have any conflict.

• "git diff --[num]stat" used to use the number of lines of context different from the default, potentially giving different results from "git diff | diffstat" and confusing the users.

• "git pull" and "git rebase" did not work well even when GIT_WORK_TREE is set correctly with GIT_DIR if the current directory is outside the working tree.

• "git send-email" did not honor the configured hostname when restarting the HELO/EHLO exchange after switching TLS on.

• "gitweb" used to produce a non-working link while showing the contents of a blob, when JavaScript actions are enabled.
