+GIT v1.6.4.1 Release Notes
2
+==========================
3
+
4
+Fixes since v1.6.4
5
+------------------
6
+
7
+ * An unquoted value in the configuration file, when it contains more than
8
+ one whitespaces in a row, got them replaced with a single space.
9
+
10
+ * "git am" used to accept a single piece of e-mail per file (not a mbox)
11
+ as its input, but multiple input format support in v1.6.4 broke it.
12
+ Apparently many people have been depending on this feature.
13
+
14
+ * The short help text for "git filter-branch" command was a single long
15
+ line, wrapped by terminals, and was hard to read.
16
+
17
+ * The "recursive" strategy of "git merge" segfaulted when a merge has
18
+ more than one merge-bases, and merging of these merge-bases involves
19
+ a rename/rename or a rename/add conflict.
20
+
21
+ * "git pull --rebase" did not use the right fork point when the
22
+ repository has already fetched from the upstream that rewinds the
23
+ branch it is based on in an earlier fetch.
24
+
25
+ * Explain the concept of fast-forward more fully in "git push"
26
+ documentation, and hint to refer to it from an error message when the
27
+ command refuses an update to protect the user.
28
+
29
+ * The default value for pack.deltacachesize, used by "git repack", is now
30
+ 256M, instead of unbounded. Otherwise a repack of a moderately sized
31
+ repository would needlessly eat into swap.
32
+
33
+ * Document how "git repack" (hence "git gc") interacts with a repository
34
+ that borrows its objects from other repositories (e.g. ones created by
35
+ "git clone -s").
36
+
37
+ * "git show" on an annotated tag lacked a delimiting blank line between
38
+ the tag itself and the contents of the object it tags.
39
+
40
+ * "git verify-pack -v" erroneously reported number of objects with too
41
+ deep delta depths as "chain length 0" objects.
42
+
43
+ * Long names of authors and committers outside US-ASCII were sometimes
44
+ incorrectly shown in "gitweb".
45
+
46
+Other minor documentation updates are included.
