| 1 | GIT v1.6.0.5 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.6.0.4 |
| 5 | -------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * "git checkout" used to crash when your HEAD was pointing at a deleted |
| 8 | branch. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | * "git checkout" from an un-checked-out state did not allow switching out |
| 11 | of the current branch. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * "git diff" always allowed GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and --no-ext-diff was no-op for |
| 14 | the command. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * Giving 3 or more tree-ish to "git diff" is supposed to show the combined |
| 17 | diff from second and subsequent trees to the first one, but the order was |
| 18 | screwed up. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * "git fast-export" did not export all tags. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * "git ls-files --with-tree=<tree>" did not work with options other |
| 23 | than -c, most notably with -m. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * "git pack-objects" did not make its best effort to honor --max-pack-size |
| 26 | option when a single first object already busted the given limit and |
| 27 | placed many objects in a single pack. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | * "git-p4" fast import frontend was too eager to trigger its keyword expansion |
| 30 | logic, even on a keyword-looking string that does not have closing '$' on the |
| 31 | same line. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | * "git push $there" when the remote $there is defined in $GIT_DIR/branches/$there |
| 34 | behaves more like what cg-push from Cogito used to work. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | * when giving up resolving a conflicted merge, "git reset --hard" failed |
| 37 | to remove new paths from the working tree. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | * "git tag" did not complain when given mutually incompatible set of options. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | * The message constructed in the internal editor was discarded when "git |
| 42 | tag -s" failed to sign the message, which was often caused by the user |
| 43 | not configuring GPG correctly. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | * "make check" cannot be run without sparse; people may have meant to say |
| 46 | "make test" instead, so suggest that. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | * Internal diff machinery had a corner case performance bug that choked on |
| 49 | a large file with many repeated contents. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | * "git repack" used to grab objects out of packs marked with .keep |
| 52 | into a new pack. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | * Many unsafe call to sprintf() style varargs functions are corrected. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | * Also contains quite a few documentation updates. |
