GIT v1.5.6.2 Release Notes
|
||
|
==========================
|
||
|
|
||
|
Futureproof
|
||
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
||
|
* "git-shell" accepts requests without a dash between "git" and
|
||
|
subcommand name (e.g. "git upload-pack") which the newer client will
|
||
|
start to make sometime in the future.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fixes since v1.5.6.1
|
||
|
--------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
* "git clone" from a remote that is named with url.insteadOf setting in
|
||
|
$HOME/.gitconfig did not work well.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* "git describe --long --tags" segfaulted when the described revision was
|
||
|
tagged with a lightweight tag.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* "git diff --check" did not report the result via its exit status
|
||
|
reliably.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
|
||
|
it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking
|
||
|
branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest
|
||
|
pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set
|
||
|
of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* "git reset file" should mean the same thing as "git reset HEAD file",
|
||
|
but we required disambiguating -- even when "file" is not ambiguous.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* "git show" segfaulted when an annotated tag that points at another
|
||
|
annotated tag was given to it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Optimization for a large import via "git-svn" introduced in v1.5.6 had a
|
||
|
serious memory and temporary file leak, which made it unusable for
|
||
|
moderately large import.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* "git-svn" mangled remote nickname used in the configuration file
|
||
|
unnecessarily.
