The change was actually about "git init -s" which sets the setgid bit on SysV-style systems to allow shared access to a repository, and can provoke errors on BSD-style systems, depending on how permissive the filesystem in use wants to be. More to the point, the patch was just taking a fix that arrived for FreeBSD in v1.5.5 days and making it also apply to machines using an (obscure) GNU userland/FreeBSD kernel mixture.

Git v1.7.7.1 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.7.7
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* On some BSD systems, adding +s bit on directories is detrimental
|
|
(it is not necessary on BSD to begin with). "git init --shared"
|
|
has been updated to take this into account without extra makefile
|
|
settings on platforms the Makefile knows about.
|
|
|
|
* After incorrectly written third-party tools store a tag object in
|
|
HEAD, git diagnosed it as a repository corruption and refused to
|
|
proceed in order to avoid spreading the damage. We now gracefully
|
|
recover from such a situation by pretending as if the commit that
|
|
is pointed at by the tag were in HEAD.
|
|
|
|
* "git apply --whitespace=error" did not bother to report the exact
|
|
line number in the patch that introduced new blank lines at the end
|
|
of the file.
|
|
|
|
* "git apply --index" did not check corrupted patch.
|
|
|
|
* "git checkout $tree $directory/" resurrected paths locally removed or
|
|
modified only in the working tree in $directory/ that did not appear
|
|
in $directory of the given $tree. They should have been kept intact.
|
|
|
|
* "git diff $tree $path" used to apply the pathspec at the output stage,
|
|
reading the whole tree, wasting resources.
|
|
|
|
* The code to check for updated submodules during a "git fetch" of the
|
|
superproject had an unnecessary quadratic loop.
|
|
|
|
* "git fetch" from a large bundle did not enable the progress output.
|
|
|
|
* When "git fsck --lost-and-found" found that an empty blob object in the
|
|
object store is unreachable, it incorrectly reported an error after
|
|
writing the lost blob out successfully.
|
|
|
|
* "git filter-branch" did not refresh the index before checking that the
|
|
working tree was clean.
|
|
|
|
* "git grep $tree" when run with multiple threads had an unsafe access to
|
|
the object database that should have been protected with mutex.
|
|
|
|
* The "--ancestry-path" option to "git log" and friends misbehaved in a
|
|
history with complex criss-cross merges and showed an uninteresting
|
|
side history as well.
|
|
|
|
* Test t1304 assumed LOGNAME is always set, which may not be true on
|
|
some systems.
|
|
|
|
* Tests with --valgrind failed to find "mergetool" scriptlets.
|
|
|
|
* "git patch-id" miscomputed the patch-id in a patch that has a line longer
|
|
than 1kB.
|
|
|
|
* When an "exec" insn failed after modifying the index and/or the working
|
|
tree during "rebase -i", we now check and warn that the changes need to
|
|
be cleaned up.
