| 1 | Git v1.6.5.3 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.6.5.2 |
| 5 | -------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * info/grafts file didn't ignore trailing CR at the end of lines. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * Packages generated on newer FC were unreadable by older versions of |
| 10 | RPM as the new default is to use stronger hash. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * output from "git blame" was unreadable when the file ended in an |
| 13 | incomplete line. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * "git add -i/-p" didn't handle deletion of empty files correctly. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | * "git clone" takes up to two parameters, but did not complain when |
| 18 | given more arguments than necessary and silently ignored them. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * "git cvsimport" did not read files given as command line arguments |
| 21 | correctly when it is run from a subdirectory. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * "git diff --color-words -U0" didn't work correctly. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * The handling of blank lines at the end of file by "git diff/apply |
| 26 | --whitespace" was inconsistent with the other kinds of errors. |
| 27 | They are now colored, warned against, and fixed the same way as others. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | * There was no way to allow blank lines at the end of file without |
| 30 | allowing extra blanks at the end of lines. You can use blank-at-eof |
| 31 | and blank-at-eol whitespace error class to specify them separately. |
| 32 | The old trailing-space error class is now a short-hand to set both. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * "-p" option to "git format-patch" was supposed to suppress diffstat |
| 35 | generation, but it was broken since 1.6.1. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * "git imap-send" did not compile cleanly with newer OpenSSL. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | * "git help -a" outside of a git repository was broken. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | * "git ls-files -i" was supposed to be inverse of "git ls-files" without -i |
| 42 | with respect to exclude patterns, but it was broken since 1.6.5.2. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | * "git ls-remote" outside of a git repository over http was broken. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | * "git rebase -i" gave bogus error message when the command word was |
| 47 | misspelled. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | * "git receive-pack" that is run in response to "git push" did not run |
| 50 | garbage collection nor update-server-info, but in larger hosting sites, |
| 51 | these almost always need to be run. To help site administrators, the |
| 52 | command now runs "gc --auto" and "u-s-i" by setting receive.autogc |
| 53 | and receive.updateserverinfo configuration variables, respectively. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | * Release notes spelled the package name with incorrect capitalization. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * "gitweb" did not escape non-ascii characters correctly in the URL. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | * "gitweb" showed "patch" link even for merge commits. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | * "gitweb" showed incorrect links for blob line numbers in pathinfo mode. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | Other minor documentation updates are included. |
