| 1 | GIT v1.6.3.2 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.6.3.1 |
| 5 | -------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * A few codepaths picked up the first few bytes from an sha1[] by |
| 8 | casting the (char *) pointer to (int *); GCC 4.4 did not like this, |
| 9 | and aborted compilation. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * Some unlink(2) failures went undiagnosed. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * The "recursive" merge strategy misbehaved when faced rename/delete |
| 14 | conflicts while coming up with an intermediate merge base. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | * The low-level merge algorithm did not handle a degenerate case of |
| 17 | merging a file with itself using itself as the common ancestor |
| 18 | gracefully. It should produce the file itself, but instead |
| 19 | produced an empty result. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * GIT_TRACE mechanism segfaulted when tracing a shell-quoted aliases. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * OpenBSD also uses st_ctimspec in "struct stat", instead of "st_ctim". |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * With NO_CROSS_DIRECTORY_HARDLINKS, "make install" can be told not to |
| 26 | create hardlinks between $(gitexecdir)/git-$builtin_commands and |
| 27 | $(bindir)/git. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | * command completion code in bash did not reliably detect that we are |
| 30 | in a bare repository. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | * "git add ." in an empty directory complained that pathspec "." did not |
| 33 | match anything, which may be technically correct, but not useful. We |
| 34 | silently make it a no-op now. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | * "git add -p" (and "patch" action in "git add -i") was broken when |
| 37 | the first hunk that adds a line at the top was split into two and |
| 38 | both halves are marked to be used. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | * "git blame path" misbehaved at the commit where path became file |
| 41 | from a directory with some files in it. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | * "git for-each-ref" had a segfaulting bug when dealing with a tag object |
| 44 | created by an ancient git. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | * "git format-patch -k" still added patch numbers if format.numbered |
| 47 | configuration was set. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | * "git grep --color ''" did not terminate. The command also had |
| 50 | subtle bugs with its -w option. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | * http-push had a small use-after-free bug. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | * "git push" was converting OFS_DELTA pack representation into less |
| 55 | efficient REF_DELTA representation unconditionally upon transfer, |
| 56 | making the transferred data unnecessarily larger. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | * "git remote show origin" segfaulted when origin was still empty. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Many other general usability updates around help text, diagnostic messages |
| 61 | and documentation are included as well. |
