| GIT v1.6.4.3 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.6.4.2 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * "git clone" from an empty repository gave unnecessary error message, |
| even though it did everything else correctly. |
| |
| * "git cvsserver" invoked git commands via "git-foo" style, which has long |
| been deprecated. |
| |
| * "git fetch" and "git clone" had an extra sanity check to verify the |
| presence of the corresponding *.pack file before downloading *.idx |
| file by issuing a HEAD request. Github server however sometimes |
| gave 500 (Internal server error) response to HEAD even if a GET |
| request for *.pack file to the same URL would have succeeded, and broke |
| clone over HTTP from some of their repositories. As a workaround, this |
| verification has been removed (as it is not absolutely necessary). |
| |
| * "git grep" did not like relative pathname to refer outside the current |
| directory when run from a subdirectory. |
| |
| * an error message from "git push" was formatted in a very ugly way. |
| |
| * "git svn" did not quote the subversion user name correctly when |
| running its author-prog helper program. |
| |
| Other minor documentation updates are included. |
