| 1 | GIT v1.6.0.2 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.6.0.1 |
| 5 | -------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * Installation on platforms that needs .exe suffix to git-* programs were |
| 8 | broken in 1.6.0.1. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | * Installation on filesystems without symbolic links support did not |
| 11 | work well. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * In-tree documentations and test scripts now use "git foo" form to set a |
| 14 | better example, instead of the "git-foo" form (which is an acceptable |
| 15 | form if you have "PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH" in your script) |
| 16 | |
| 17 | * Many commands did not use the correct working tree location when used |
| 18 | with GIT_WORK_TREE environment settings. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * Some systems need to use compatibility fnmatch and regex libraries |
| 21 | independent from each other; the compat/ area has been reorganized to |
| 22 | allow this. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * "git apply --unidiff-zero" incorrectly applied a -U0 patch that inserts |
| 26 | a new line before the second line. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * "git blame -c" did not exactly work like "git annotate" when range |
| 29 | boundaries are involved. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * "git checkout file" when file is still unmerged checked out contents from |
| 32 | a random high order stage, which was confusing. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * "git clone $there $here/" with extra trailing slashes after explicit |
| 35 | local directory name $here did not work as expected. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * "git diff" on tracked contents with CRLF line endings did not drive "less" |
| 38 | intelligently when showing added or removed lines. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | * "git diff --dirstat -M" did not add changes in subdirectories up |
| 41 | correctly for renamed paths. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | * "git diff --cumulative" did not imply "--dirstat". |
| 44 | |
| 45 | * "git for-each-ref refs/heads/" did not work as expected. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | * "git gui" allowed users to feed patch without any context to be applied. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | * "git gui" botched parsing "diff" output when a line that begins with two |
| 50 | dashes and a space gets removed or a line that begins with two pluses |
| 51 | and a space gets added. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | * "git gui" translation updates and i18n fixes. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | * "git index-pack" is more careful against disk corruption while completing |
| 56 | a thin pack. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | * "git log -i --grep=pattern" did not ignore case; neither "git log -E |
| 59 | --grep=pattern" triggered extended regexp. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | * "git log --pretty="%ad" --date=short" did not use short format when |
| 62 | showing the timestamp. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | * "git log --author=author" match incorrectly matched with the |
| 65 | timestamp part of "author " line in commit objects. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | * "git log -F --author=author" did not work at all. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | * Build procedure for "git shell" that used stub versions of some |
| 70 | functions and globals was not understood by linkers on some platforms. |
| 71 | |
| 72 | * "git stash" was fooled by a stat-dirty but otherwise unmodified paths |
| 73 | and refused to work until the user refreshed the index. |
| 74 | |
| 75 | * "git svn" was broken on Perl before 5.8 with recent fixes to reduce |
| 76 | use of temporary files. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | * "git verify-pack -v" did not work correctly when given more than one |
| 79 | packfile. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | Also contains many documentation updates. |
