| 1 | GIT v1.5.6.4 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.5.6.3 |
| 5 | -------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * Various commands could overflow its internal buffer on a platform |
| 8 | with small PATH_MAX value in a repository that has contents with |
| 9 | long pathnames. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * There wasn't a way to make --pretty=format:%<> specifiers to honor |
| 12 | .mailmap name rewriting for authors and committers. Now you can with |
| 13 | %aN and %cN. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * Bash completion wasted too many cycles; this has been optimized to be |
| 16 | usable again. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | * Bash completion lost ref part when completing something like "git show |
| 19 | pu:Makefile". |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * "git-cvsserver" did not clean up its temporary working area after annotate |
| 22 | request. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | * "git-daemon" called syslog() from its signal handler, which was a |
| 25 | no-no. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * "git-fetch" into an empty repository used to remind that the fetch will |
| 28 | be huge by saying "no common commits", but this was an unnecessary |
| 29 | noise; it is already known by the user anyway. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | * "git-http-fetch" would have segfaulted when pack idx file retrieved |
| 32 | from the other side was corrupt. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | * "git-index-pack" used too much memory when dealing with a deep delta chain. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | * "git-mailinfo" (hence "git-am") did not correctly handle in-body [PATCH] |
| 37 | line to override the commit title taken from the mail Subject header. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | * "git-rebase -i -p" lost parents that are not involved in the history |
| 40 | being rewritten. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | * "git-rm" lost track of where the index file was when GIT_DIR was |
| 43 | specified as a relative path. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | * "git-rev-list --quiet" was not quiet as advertised. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Contains other various documentation fixes. |
