Subject[ANNOUNCE] Git v1.8.5.3
Date
The latest maintenance release Git v1.8.5.3 is now available at
the usual places, backporting the fixes that happened on the
'master' front.

The release tarballs are found at:

http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/list

and their SHA-1 checksums are:

767aa30c0f569f9b6e04cb215dfeec0c013c355a git-1.8.5.3.tar.gz

e4b66ca3ab1b089af651bf742aa030718e9af978 git-manpages-1.8.5.3.tar.gz

The following public repositories all have a copy of the v1.8.5.3
tag and the maint branch that the tag points at:

url = https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
url = git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
url = https://code.google.com/p/git-core/
url = git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git
url = git://git-core.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/git-core/git-core

Also, http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ has copies of the
release tarballs.

Git v1.8.5.3 Release Notes
==========================

Fixes since v1.8.5.2
--------------------

* The "--[no-]informative-errors" options to "git daemon" were parsed
a bit too loosely, allowing any other string after these option
names.

* A "gc" process running as a different user should be able to stop a
new "gc" process from starting.

* An earlier "clean-up" introduced an unnecessary memory leak to the
credential subsystem.

* "git mv A B/", when B does not exist as a directory, should error
out, but it didn't.

* "git rev-parse <revs> -- <paths>" did not implement the usual
disambiguation rules the commands in the "git log" family used in
the same way.

* "git cat-file --batch=", an admittedly useless command, did not
behave very well.

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

----------------------------------------------------------------

Changes since v1.8.5.2 are as follows:

Jeff King (5):
rev-parse: correctly diagnose revision errors before "--"
