This also bumps the stable nixpkgs to 20.09 as of 2020-11-21, because there is some breakage in the git build related to the netrc credentials helper which someone has taken care of in nixpkgs. The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this should be fine. Change-Id: I3575a19dab09e1e9556cf8231d717de9890484fb

Git v1.6.5.4 Release Notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Fixes since v1.6.5.3
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
* "git help" (without argument) used to check if you are in a directory
|
|
under git control. There was no breakage in behaviour per-se, but this
|
|
was unnecessary.
|
|
|
|
* "git prune-packed" gave progress output even when its standard error is
|
|
not connected to a terminal; this caused cron jobs that run it to
|
|
produce cruft.
|
|
|
|
* "git pack-objects --all-progress" is an option to ask progress output
|
|
from write-object phase _if_ progress output were to be produced, and
|
|
shouldn't have forced the progress output.
|
|
|
|
* "git apply -p<n> --directory=<elsewhere>" did not work well for a
|
|
non-default value of n.
|
|
|
|
* "git merge foo HEAD" was misparsed as an old-style invocation of the
|
|
command and produced a confusing error message. As it does not specify
|
|
any other branch to merge, it shouldn't be mistaken as such. We will
|
|
remove the old style "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>..." syntax in
|
|
future versions, but not in this release,
|
|
|
|
* "git merge -m <message> <branch>..." added the standard merge message
|
|
on its own after user-supplied message, which should have overridden the
|
|
standard one.
|
|
|
|
Other minor documentation updates are included.
