Git v2.2.2 Release Notes
========================

Fixes since v2.2.1
------------------

 * "git checkout $treeish $path", when $path in the index and the
   working tree already matched what is in $treeish at the $path,
   still overwrote the $path unnecessarily.

 * "git config --get-color" did not parse its command line arguments
   carefully.

 * open() emulated on Windows platforms did not give EISDIR upon
   an attempt to open a directory for writing.

 * A few code paths used abs() when they should have used labs() on
   long integers.

 * "gitweb" used to depend on a behaviour recent CGI.pm deprecated.

 * "git init" (hence "git clone") initialized the per-repository
   configuration file .git/config with x-bit by mistake.

 * Git 2.0 was supposed to make the "simple" mode for the default of
   "git push", but it didn't.

 * "Everyday" document had a broken link.

 * The build procedure did not bother fixing perl and python scripts
   when NO_PERL and NO_PYTHON build-time configuration changed.

 * The code that reads the reflog from the newer to the older entries
   did not handle an entry that crosses a boundary of block it uses to
   read them correctly.

 * "git apply" was described in the documentation to take --ignore-date
   option, which it does not.

 * Traditionally we tried to avoid interpreting date strings given by
   the user as future dates, e.g. GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=2014-12-10 when
   used early November 2014 was taken as "October 12, 2014" because it
   is likely that a date in the future, December 10, is a mistake.
   This heuristics has been loosened to allow people to express future
   dates (most notably, --until=<date> may want to be far in the
   future) and we no longer tiebreak by future-ness of the date when

    (1) ISO-like format is used, and
    (2) the string can make sense interpreted as both y-m-d and y-d-m.

   Git may still have to use the heuristics to tiebreak between dd/mm/yy
   and mm/dd/yy, though.

 * The code to abbreviate an object name to its short unique prefix
   has been optimized when no abbreviation was requested.

 * "git add --ignore-errors ..." did not ignore an error to
   give a file that did not exist.

 * Git did not correctly read an overlong refname from a packed refs
   file.

Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
