Git v1.6.5.5 Release Notes
|
||
|
|
==========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixes since v1.6.5.4
|
||
|
|
--------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Manual pages can be formatted with older xmlto again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* GREP_OPTIONS exported from user's environment could have broken
|
||
|
|
our scripted commands.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* In configuration files, a few variables that name paths can begin with
|
||
|
|
~/ and ~username/ and they are expanded as expected. This is not a
|
||
|
|
bugfix but 1.6.6 will have this and without backporting users cannot
|
||
|
|
easily use the same ~/.gitconfig across versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git diff -B -M" did the same computation to hash lines of contents
|
||
|
|
twice, and held onto memory after it has used the data in it
|
||
|
|
unnecessarily before it freed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git diff -B" and "git diff --dirstat" was not counting newly added
|
||
|
|
contents correctly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git format-patch revisions... -- path" issued an incorrect error
|
||
|
|
message that suggested to use "--" on the command line when path
|
||
|
|
does not exist in the current work tree (it is a separate matter if
|
||
|
|
it makes sense to limit format-patch with pathspecs like that
|
||
|
|
without using the --full-diff option).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git grep -F -i StRiNg" did not work as expected.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Enumeration of available merge strategies iterated over the list of
|
||
|
|
commands in a wrong way, sometimes producing an incorrect result.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git shortlog" did not honor the "encoding" header embedded in the
|
||
|
|
commit object like "git log" did.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Reading progress messages that come from the remote side while running
|
||
|
|
"git pull" is given precedence over reading the actual pack data to
|
||
|
|
prevent garbled progress message on the user's terminal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git rebase" got confused when the log message began with certain
|
||
|
|
strings that looked like Subject:, Date: or From: header.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* "git reset" accidentally run in .git/ directory checked out the
|
||
|
|
work tree contents in there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other minor documentation updates are included.
