머가필요해

이제는 어느정도 안정화가 된 것으로 보이는 GIT이지만,
아직도 종종 업데이트가 올라온다.

실제 업무에 이러한 도구를 도입할 때에 문제 중 하나가 이러한 업데이트이다.
버전 間 차이점이 많으면 사용 버전끼리의 충돌 이슈가 발생할 수 있기 때문이다.

그래서 실무에서는 사용할 버전을 하나 정해놓고 모두 해당 버전을 사용하게 가이드하곤 한다.

그리고 새로운 버전이 올라오면 해당 버전을 반영할 필요가 있을지 먼저 검증을 하고,
필요한 기능이 있다면 예전 버전과의 호환성 검증을 한 이후에 배포를 해야한다.

 

Git 1.8.1.3 Release Notes =========================  Fixes since v1.8.1.2 --------------------   * The attribute mechanism didn't allow limiting attributes to be    applied to only a single directory itself with "path/" like the    exclude mechanism does.  The fix for this in 1.8.1.2 had    performance degradations.   * Command line completion code was inadvertently made incompatible with    older versions of bash by using a newer array notation.   * Scripts to test bash completion was inherently flaky as it was    affected by whatever random things the user may have on $PATH.   * A fix was added to the build procedure to work around buggy    versions of ccache broke the auto-generation of dependencies, which    unfortunately is still relevant because some people use ancient    distros.   * We used to stuff "user@" and then append what we read from    /etc/mailname to come up with a default e-mail ident, but a bug    lost the "user@" part.   * "git am" did not parse datestamp correctly from Hg generated patch,    when it is run in a locale outside C (or en).   * Attempt to "branch --edit-description" an existing branch, while    being on a detached HEAD, errored out.   * "git cherry-pick" did not replay a root commit to an unborn branch.   * We forgot to close the file descriptor reading from "gpg" output,    killing "git log --show-signature" on a long history.   * "git rebase --preserve-merges" lost empty merges in recent versions    of Git.   * Rebasing the history of superproject with change in the submodule    has been broken since v1.7.12.   * A failure to push due to non-ff while on an unborn branch    dereferenced a NULL pointer when showing an error message.  Also contains various documentation fixes.

 

뭔가 많이 고쳐진 것이면 바람직하게 보여야 하는데... 아직도 고칠 것이 많은가~하는 불안감도 살짝 있다는...
