| 1 | Git v1.7.4.3 Release Notes |
| 2 | ========================== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | Fixes since v1.7.4.2 |
| 5 | -------------------- |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * "git apply" used to confuse lines updated by previous hunks as lines |
| 8 | that existed before when applying a hunk, contributing misapplication |
| 9 | of patches with offsets. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * "git branch --track" (and "git checkout --track --branch") used to |
| 12 | allow setting up a random non-branch that does not make sense to follow |
| 13 | as the "upstream". The command correctly diagnoses it as an error. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * "git checkout $other_branch" silently removed untracked symbolic links |
| 16 | in the working tree that are in the way in order to check out paths |
| 17 | under it from the named branch. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | * "git cvsimport" did not bail out immediately when the cvs server cannot |
| 20 | be reached, spewing unnecessary error messages that complain about the |
| 21 | server response that it never got. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * "git diff --quiet" did not work very well with the "--diff-filter" |
| 24 | option. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | * "git grep -n" lacked a long-hand synonym --line-number. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * "git stash apply" reported the result of its operation by running |
| 29 | "git status" from the top-level of the working tree; it should (and |
| 30 | now does) run it from the user's working directory. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | And other minor fixes and documentation updates. |
