[ANNOUNCE] Git v2.4.8

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A maintenance release Git v2.4.8 is now available at the usual
places.  This contains remaining fixes that are in v2.5 but have
been lacking in 2.4.x maintenance track so far.  It will hopefully
be the last 2.4.x update at least for now.

The tarballs are found at:

    https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/

The following public repositories all have a copy of the 'v2.4.8'
tag and some of them have the 'maint-2.4' 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

Git v2.4.8 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v2.4.7
------------------

 * Abandoning an already applied change in "git rebase -i" with
   "--continue" left CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and confused later steps.

 * Various fixes around "git am" that applies a patch to a history
   that is not there yet.

 * "git for-each-ref" reported "missing object" for 0{40} when it
   encounters a broken ref.  The lack of object whose name is 0{40} is
   not the problem; the ref being broken is.

 * "git commit --cleanup=scissors" was not careful enough to protect
   against getting fooled by a line that looked like scissors.

Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
clean-ups.
