# git-cola v1.8.2

## Usability, bells and whistles

- We now automatically remove missing repositories from the “Select Repository” dialog.

- A new git cola diff sub-command was added for diffing changed files.

## Fixes

- The inotify auto-refresh feature makes it difficult to select text in the “diff” editor when files are being continually modified by another process. The auto-refresh causes it to lose the currently selected text, which is not wanted. We now avoid this problem by saving and restoring the selection when refreshing the editor.

## Fixes

- Better error handling when cloning repositories.

  We were not handling the case where a git URL has no basename, e.g. https://git.example.com/. git cola originally rejected these URLs instead of allowing users to clone them. It now allows these URLs when they point to valid git repositories.

  Additionally, git cola learned to echo the errors reported by git clone when it fails.
