The installation + procedure has been updated to take this into account. + + * 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.
