Bugfixes
-
git-add tried to optimize by finding common leading directories across its arguments but botched, causing very confused behaviour.
-
unofficial rpm.spec file shipped with git was letting ETC_GITCONFIG set to /usr/etc/gitconfig. Tweak the official Makefile to make it harder for distro people to make the same mistake, by setting the variable to /etc/gitconfig if prefix is set to /usr.
-
git-svn inconsistently stripped away username from the URL only when svnsync_props was in use.
-
git-svn got confused when handling symlinks on Mac OS.
-
git-send-email was not quoting recipient names that have period . in them. Also it did not allow overriding envelope sender, which made it impossible to send patches to certain subscriber-only lists.
-
built-in write_tree() routine had a sequence that renamed a file that is still open, which some systems did not like.
-
when memory is very tight, sliding mmap code to read packfiles incorrectly closed the fd that was still being used to read the pack.
-
import-tars contributed front-end for fastimport was passing wrong directory modes without checking.
-
git-fastimport trusted its input too much and allowed to create corrupt tree objects with entries without a name.
-
git-fetch needlessly barfed when too long reflog action description was given by the caller.
-
Also contains various documentation updates.
