| 1 | GIT v1.6.0.3 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.6.0.2 |
| 5 | -------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * "git archive --format=zip" did not honor core.autocrlf while |
| 8 | --format=tar did. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | * Continuing "git rebase -i" was very confused when the user left modified |
| 11 | files in the working tree while resolving conflicts. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * Continuing "git rebase -i" was also very confused when the user left |
| 14 | some staged changes in the index after "edit". |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * "git rebase -i" now honors the pre-rebase hook, just like the |
| 17 | other rebase implementations "git rebase" and "git rebase -m". |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * "git rebase -i" incorrectly aborted when there is no commit to replay. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * Behaviour of "git diff --quiet" was inconsistent with "diff --exit-code" |
| 22 | with the output redirected to /dev/null. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | * "git diff --no-index" on binary files no longer outputs a bogus |
| 25 | "diff --git" header line. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * "git diff" hunk header patterns with multiple elements separated by LF |
| 28 | were not used correctly. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | * Hunk headers in "git diff" default to using extended regular |
| 31 | expressions, fixing some of the internal patterns on non-GNU |
| 32 | platforms. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * New config "diff.*.xfuncname" exposes extended regular expressions |
| 35 | for user specified hunk header patterns. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * "git gc" when ejecting otherwise unreachable objects from packfiles into |
| 38 | loose form leaked memory. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | * "git index-pack" was recently broken and mishandled objects added by |
| 41 | thin-pack completion processing under memory pressure. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | * "git index-pack" was recently broken and misbehaved when run from inside |
| 44 | .git/objects/pack/ directory. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | * "git stash apply sash@{1}" was fixed to error out. Prior versions |
| 47 | would have applied stash@{0} incorrectly. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | * "git stash apply" now offers a better suggestion on how to continue |
| 50 | if the working tree is currently dirty. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | * "git for-each-ref --format=%(subject)" fixed for commits with no |
| 53 | newline in the message body. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | * "git remote" fixed to protect printf from user input. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * "git remote show -v" now displays all URLs of a remote. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | * "git checkout -b branch" was confused when branch already existed. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | * "git checkout -q" once again suppresses the locally modified file list. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | * "git clone -q", "git fetch -q" asks remote side to not send |
| 64 | progress messages, actually making their output quiet. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | * Cross-directory renames are no longer used when creating packs. This |
| 67 | allows more graceful behavior on filesystems like sshfs. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | * Stale temporary files under $GIT_DIR/objects/pack are now cleaned up |
| 70 | automatically by "git prune". |
| 71 | |
| 72 | * "git merge" once again removes directories after the last file has |
| 73 | been removed from it during the merge. |
| 74 | |
| 75 | * "git merge" did not allocate enough memory for the structure itself when |
| 76 | enumerating the parents of the resulting commit. |
| 77 | |
| 78 | * "git blame -C -C" no longer segfaults while trying to pass blame if |
| 79 | it encounters a submodule reference. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | * "git rm" incorrectly claimed that you have local modifications when a |
| 82 | path was merely stat-dirty. |
| 83 | |
| 84 | * "git svn" fixed to display an error message when 'set-tree' failed, |
| 85 | instead of a Perl compile error. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | * "git submodule" fixed to handle checking out a different commit |
| 88 | than HEAD after initializing the submodule. |
| 89 | |
| 90 | * The "git commit" error message when there are still unmerged |
| 91 | files present was clarified to match "git write-tree". |
| 92 | |
| 93 | * "git init" was confused when core.bare or core.sharedRepository are set |
| 94 | in system or user global configuration file by mistake. When --bare or |
| 95 | --shared is given from the command line, these now override such |
| 96 | settings made outside the repositories. |
| 97 | |
| 98 | * Some segfaults due to uncaught NULL pointers were fixed in multiple |
| 99 | tools such as apply, reset, update-index. |
| 100 | |
| 101 | * Solaris builds now default to OLD_ICONV=1 to avoid compile warnings; |
| 102 | Solaris 8 does not define NEEDS_LIBICONV by default. |
| 103 | |
| 104 | * "Git.pm" tests relied on unnecessarily more recent version of Perl. |
| 105 | |
| 106 | * "gitweb" triggered undef warning on commits without log messages. |
| 107 | |
| 108 | * "gitweb" triggered undef warnings on missing trees. |
| 109 | |
| 110 | * "gitweb" now removes PATH_INFO from its URLs so users don't have |
| 111 | to manually set the URL in the gitweb configuration. |
| 112 | |
| 113 | * Bash completion removed support for legacy "git-fetch", "git-push" |
| 114 | and "git-pull" as these are no longer installed. Dashless form |
| 115 | ("git fetch") is still however supported. |
| 116 | |
| 117 | Many other documentation updates. |
