| 1 | Git v1.6.6.1 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.6.6 |
| 5 | ------------------ |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * "git blame" did not work well when commit lacked the author name. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * "git branch -a name" wasn't diagnosed as an error. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * "git count-objects" did not handle packfiles that are bigger than 4G on |
| 12 | platforms with 32-bit off_t. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * "git checkout -m other" while on a branch that does not have any commit |
| 15 | segfaulted, instead of failing. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | * "git fast-import" choked when fed a tag that do not point at a |
| 18 | commit. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * "git grep" finding from work tree files could have fed garbage to |
| 21 | the underlying regexec(3). |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * "git grep -L" didn't show empty files (they should never match, and |
| 24 | they should always appear in -L output as unmatching). |
| 25 | |
| 26 | * "git rebase -i" did not abort cleanly if it failed to launch the editor. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * "git reset --hard" did not work correctly when GIT_WORK_TREE environment |
| 29 | variable is used to point at the root of the true work tree. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * http-backend was not listed in the command list in the documentation. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | * Building on FreeBSD (both 7 and 8) needs OLD_ICONV set in the Makefile |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * "git checkout -m some-branch" while on an unborn branch crashed. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Other minor documentation updates are included. |
