14 DAY TRIAL // Git, a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency, is now at version 1.8.5.4.
Git 1.8.x continues the trend of large releases, integrating a big number of modifications and fixes, but the new version only has a few changes.
According to the developers, remote repository URL expressed in scp-style host:path notation are now parsed more carefully, SSL-related options are now passed correctly to underlying socket layer in “git send-email”, and “git commit -v” no longer appends the patch to the log message before editing, and then removes the patch when the editor returned control.
Also, “git log –decorate” now handles a tag pointed by another tag nicely, and the implementation of “git stash $cmd ‘stash@{...}’” now quotes the stash argument properly.
