Committing such a\n content must be prohibited, but \"git diff\" should help the user to\n locate and fix such problems without failing.\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------\n\nChanges since v1.8.3.3 are as follows:\n\nDennis Kaarsemaker (2):\n tests: allow sha1's as part of the path\n GIT-VERSION-GEN: support non-standard $GIT_DIR path\n\nFraser Tweedale (2):\n documentation: add git:// transport security notice\n diff-options: document default similarity index\n\nJeff King (5):\n t/lib-httpd/apache.conf: do not use LockFile in apache >= 2.4\n t/lib-httpd/apache.conf: load extra auth modules in apache 2.4\n t/lib-httpd/apache.conf: load compat access module in apache 2.4\n t/lib-httpd/apache.conf: configure an MPM module for apache 2.4\n lib-httpd/apache.conf: check version only after mod_version loads\n\nJohannes Sixt (10):\n test-chmtime: Fix exit code on Windows\n t3010: modernize style\n tests: introduce test_ln_s_add\n tests: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite (trivial cases)\n t0000: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite\n t3030: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite\n t3100: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite\n t3509, t4023, t4114: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite\n t6035: use test_ln_s_add to remove SYMLINKS prerequisite\n t4011: remove SYMLINKS prerequisite\n\nJunio C Hamano (7):\n fetch-options.txt: prevent a wildcard refspec from getting misformatted\n diff: demote core.safecrlf=true to core.safecrlf=warn\n t1512: correct leftover constants from earlier edition\n get_short_sha1(): correctly disambiguate type-limited abbreviation\n Start preparing for 1.8.3.4\n Update draft release notes to 1.8.3.4\n Git 1.8.3.4\n\nKevin Bracey (1):\n Documentation: Move \"git diff \"\n\nMatthieu Moy (2):\n Documentation/git-push.txt: explain better cases where --force is dangerous\n Documentation/git-merge.txt: weaken warning about uncommited changes\n\nMichael Haggerty (1):\n lockfile: fix buffer overflow in path handling\n\nNamhyung Kim (1):\n config: Add description of --local option\n\nOndřej Bílka (1):\n update URL to the marc.info mail archive\n\nPhil Hord (1):\n fix \"builtin-*\" references to be \"builtin/*\"\n\nRamkumar Ramachandra (2):\n column doc: rewrite documentation for column.ui\n name-rev doc: rewrite --stdin paragraph\n\nRené Scharfe (9):\n t5000: integrate export-subst tests into regular tests\n t5000, t5003: create directories for extracted files lazily\n t5000: factor out check_tar\n t5000: use check_tar for prefix test\n t5000: simplify tar-tree tests\n t5000: test long filenames\n read-cache: add simple performance test\n read-cache: free cache in discard_index\n use logical OR (||) instead of binary OR (|) in logical context\n\nStefan Beller (4):\n archive-zip:write_zip_entry: Remove second reset of size variable to zero.\n Documentation: \"git reset \" takes a tree-ish, not tree-sh\n http-push.c::add_send_request(): do not initialize transfer_request\n apply.c::find_name_traditional(): do not initialize len to the line's length\n\nThomas Rast (7):\n coverage: split build target into compile and test\n coverage: do not delete .gcno files before building\n coverage: set DEFAULT_TEST_TARGET to avoid using prove\n coverage: build coverage-untested-functions by default\n Test 'commit --only' after 'checkout --orphan'\n t9902: fix 'test A == B' to use = operator\n test-lint: detect 'export FOO=bar'\n\nTorstein Hegge (1):\n bisect: Fix log output for multi-parent skip ranges\n\nVeres Lajos (1):\n random typofixes (committed missing a 't', successful missing an 's')\n\nVitor Antunes (1):\n t9801: git-p4: check ignore files with client spec\n\nW.
