We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc, meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting. It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files, since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new extension as well. Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the documentation. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Git v1.8.0.1 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.8.0
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* The configuration parser had an unnecessary hardcoded limit on
|
|
variable names that was not checked consistently.
|
|
|
|
* The "say" function in the test scaffolding incorrectly allowed
|
|
"echo" to interpret "\a" as if it were a C-string asking for a
|
|
BEL output.
|
|
|
|
* "git mergetool" feeds /dev/null as a common ancestor when dealing
|
|
with an add/add conflict, but p4merge backend cannot handle
|
|
it. Work it around by passing a temporary empty file.
|
|
|
|
* "git log -F -E --grep='<ere>'" failed to use the given <ere>
|
|
pattern as extended regular expression, and instead looked for the
|
|
string literally.
|
|
|
|
* "git grep -e pattern <tree>" asked the attribute system to read
|
|
"<tree>:.gitattributes" file in the working tree, which was
|
|
nonsense.
|
|
|
|
* A symbolic ref refs/heads/SYM was not correctly removed with "git
|
|
branch -d SYM"; the command removed the ref pointed by SYM
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
* Earlier we fixed documentation to hyphenate "remote-tracking branch"
|
|
to clarify that these are not a remote entity, but unhyphenated
|
|
spelling snuck in to a few places since then.
|
|
|
|
* "git pull --rebase" run while the HEAD is detached tried to find
|
|
the upstream branch of the detached HEAD (which by definition
|
|
does not exist) and emitted unnecessary error messages.
|
|
|
|
* The refs/replace hierarchy was not mentioned in the
|
|
repository-layout docs.
|
|
|
|
* Sometimes curl_multi_timeout() function suggested a wrong timeout
|
|
value when there is no file descriptors to wait on and the http
|
|
transport ended up sleeping for minutes in select(2) system call.
|
|
A workaround has been added for this.
|
|
|
|
* Various rfc2047 quoting issues around a non-ASCII name on the
|
|
From: line in the output from format-patch have been corrected.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff -G<pattern>" did not honor textconv filter when looking
|
|
for changes.
|
|
|
|
* Bash completion script (in contrib/) did not correctly complete a
|
|
lazy "git checkout $name_of_remote_tracking_branch_that_is_unique"
|
|
command line.
|
|
|
|
* RSS feed from "gitweb" had a xss hole in its title output.
|
|
|
|
* "git config --path $key" segfaulted on "[section] key" (a boolean
|
|
"true" spelled without "=", not "[section] key = true").
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout -b foo" while on an unborn branch did not say
|
|
"Switched to a new branch 'foo'" like other cases.
|

Also contains other minor fixes and documentation updates.
