| 1 | GIT v1.5.4.6 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | I personally do not think there is any reason anybody should want to |
| 5 | run v1.5.4.X series these days, because 'master' version is always |
| 6 | more stable than any tagged released version of git. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | This is primarily to futureproof "git-shell" to accept requests |
| 9 | without a dash between "git" and subcommand name (e.g. "git |
| 10 | upload-pack") which the newer client will start to make sometime in |
| 11 | the future. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Fixes since v1.5.4.5 |
| 14 | -------------------- |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * Command line option "-n" to "git-repack" was not correctly parsed. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | * Error messages from "git-apply" when the patchfile cannot be opened |
| 19 | have been improved. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * Error messages from "git-bisect" when given nonsense revisions have |
| 22 | been improved. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | * reflog syntax that uses time e.g. "HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path" did not |
| 25 | stop parsing at the closing "}". |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * "git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name ^master^2" printed solitary "^", |
| 28 | but it should print nothing. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | * "git apply" did not enforce "match at the beginning" correctly. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | * a path specification "a/b" in .gitattributes file should not match |
| 33 | "sub/a/b", but it did. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * "git log --date-order --topo-order" did not override the earlier |
| 36 | date-order with topo-order as expected. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | * "git fast-export" did not export octopus merges correctly. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | * "git archive --prefix=$path/" mishandled gitattributes. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications. |
