Git 1.8.4-rc4

2013-08-19T17:34:14+00:00

As we had to revert two topics at the last minute, let's have
another (hopefully short) round of rc to make sure the final release
will be sound.

Revert "Add new @ shortcut for HEAD"

2013-08-14T22:04:24+00:00

This reverts commit cdfd94837b27c220f70f032b596ea993d195488f, as it
does not just apply to "@" (and forms with modifiers like @{u}
applied to it), but also affects e.g. "refs/heads/@/foo", which it
shouldn't.

The basic idea of giving a short-hand might be good, and the topic
can be retried later, but let's revert to avoid affecting existing
use cases for now for the upcoming release.

Revert "git stash: avoid data loss when "git stash save" kills a directory"

2013-08-14T16:53:43+00:00

This reverts commit a73653130edd6a8977106d45a8092c09040f9132, as it
has been reported that "ls-files --killed" is too time-consuming in
a deep directory with too many untracked crufts (e.g. $HOME/.git
tracking only a few files).

We'd need to revisit it later but "ls-files --killed" needs to be
optimized before it happens.

Git 1.8.4-rc2

2013-08-08T21:03:21+00:00

This is with mostly minor documentation and test updates, nothing
spectacular except for removal of funky lstat(2) emulation on Cygwin.

Documentation/rev-list-options: add missing word in --*-parents

2013-08-05T15:47:06+00:00

A commit has "parent commits" or "parents", not "commits".

log doc: the argument to --encoding is not optional

2013-08-05T15:19:47+00:00

 $ git log --encoding
 fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value
 $ git rev-list --encoding
 fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value

The argument to --encoding has always been mandatory.  Unfortunately
manpages like git-rev-list(1), git-log(1), and git-show(1) have
described the option's syntax as "--encoding[=]" since it
was first documented.  Clarify by removing the extra brackets.
