| 1 | GIT v1.6.4.4 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.6.4.4 |
| 5 | -------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * The workaround for Github server that sometimes gave 500 (Internal server |
| 8 | error) response to HEAD requests in 1.6.4.3 introduced a regression that |
| 9 | caused re-fetching projects over http to segfault in certain cases due |
| 10 | to uninitialized pointer being freed. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * "git pull" on an unborn branch used to consider anything in the work |
| 13 | tree and the index discardable. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * "git diff -b/w" did not work well on the incomplete line at the end of |
| 16 | the file, due to an incorrect hashing of lines in the low-level xdiff |
| 17 | routines. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * "git checkout-index --prefix=$somewhere" used to work when $somewhere is |
| 20 | a symbolic link to a directory elsewhere, but v1.6.4.2 broke it. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * "git unpack-objects --strict", invoked when receive.fsckobjects |
| 23 | configuration is set in the receiving repository of "git push", did not |
| 24 | properly check the objects, especially the submodule links, it received. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Other minor documentation updates are included. |
