| 1 | Git v1.7.11.5 Release Notes |
| 2 | =========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.7.11.4 |
| 5 | --------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * The Makefile rule to create assembly output (primarily for |
| 8 | debugging purposes) did not create it next to the source. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | * The code to avoid mistaken attempt to add the object directory |
| 11 | itself as its own alternate could read beyond end of a string while |
| 12 | comparison. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * On some architectures, "block-sha1" did not compile correctly |
| 15 | when compilers inferred alignment guarantees from our source we |
| 16 | did not intend to make. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | * When talking to a remote running ssh on IPv6 enabled host, whose |
| 19 | address is spelled as "[HOST]:PORT", we did not parse the address |
| 20 | correctly and failed to connect. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * git-blame.el (in compat/) have been updated to use Elisp more |
| 23 | correctly. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * "git checkout <branchname>" to come back from a detached HEAD state |
| 26 | incorrectly computed reachability of the detached HEAD, resulting |
| 27 | in unnecessary warnings. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | * "git mergetool" did not support --tool-help option to give the list |
| 30 | of supported backends, like "git difftool" does. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | * "git grep" stopped spawning an external "grep" long time ago, but a |
| 33 | duplicated test to check internal and external "grep" was left |
| 34 | behind. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates. |
