+Git v2.6.4 Release Notes
2
+========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v2.6.3
5
+------------------
6
+
7
+ * The "configure" script did not test for -lpthread correctly, which
8
+ upset some linkers.
9
+
10
+ * Add support for talking http/https over socks proxy.
11
+
12
+ * Portability fix for Windows, which may rewrite $SHELL variable using
13
+ non-POSIX paths.
14
+
15
+ * We now consistently allow all hooks to ignore their standard input,
16
+ rather than having git complain of SIGPIPE.
17
+
18
+ * Fix shell quoting in contrib script.
19
+
20
+ * Test portability fix for a topic in v2.6.1.
21
+
22
+ * Allow tilde-expansion in some http config variables.
23
+
24
+ * Give a useful special case "diff/show --word-diff-regex=." as an
25
+ example in the documentation.
26
+
27
+ * Fix for a corner case in filter-branch.
28
+
29
+ * Make git-p4 work on a detached head.
30
+
31
+ * Documentation clarification for "check-ignore" without "--verbose".
32
+
33
+ * Just like the working tree is cleaned up when the user cancelled
34
+ submission in P4Submit.applyCommit(), clean up the mess if "p4
35
+ submit" fails.
36
+
37
+ * Having a leftover .idx file without corresponding .pack file in
38
+ the repository hurts performance; "git gc" learned to prune them.
39
+
40
+ * The code to prepare the working tree side of temporary directory
41
+ for the "dir-diff" feature forgot that symbolic links need not be
42
+ copied (or symlinked) to the temporary area, as the code already
43
+ special cases and overwrites them. Besides, it was wrong to try
44
+ computing the object name of the target of symbolic link, which may
45
+ not even exist or may be a directory.
46
+
47
+Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code
48
+clean-ups.
