| 1 | Git v1.7.0.1 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.7.0 |
| 5 | ------------------ |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * In a freshly created repository "rev-parse HEAD^0" complained that |
| 8 | it is dangling symref, even though "rev-parse HEAD" didn't. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | * "git show :no-such-name" tried to access the index without bounds |
| 11 | check, leading to a potential segfault. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * Message from "git cherry-pick" was harder to read and use than necessary |
| 14 | when it stopped due to conflicting changes. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * We referred to ".git/refs/" throughout the documentation when we |
| 17 | meant to talk about abstract notion of "ref namespace". Because |
| 18 | people's repositories often have packed refs these days, this was |
| 19 | confusing. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * "git diff --output=/path/that/cannot/be/written" did not correctly |
| 22 | error out. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | * "git grep -e -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." could not be |
| 25 | spelled as "git grep -- -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." which |
| 26 | would be a GNU way to use "--" as "end of options". |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * "git grep" compiled with threading support tried to access an |
| 29 | uninitialized mutex on boxes with a single CPU. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * "git stash pop -q --index" failed because the unnecessary --index |
| 32 | option was propagated to "git stash drop" that is internally run at the |
| 33 | end. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | And other minor fixes and documentation updates. |
