| Git v1.6.6.2 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.6.6.1 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * recursive merge didn't correctly diagnose its own programming errors, |
| and instead caused the caller to segfault. |
| |
| * The new "smart http" aware clients probed the web servers to see if |
| they support smart http, but did not fall back to dumb http transport |
| correctly with some servers. |
| |
| * Time based reflog syntax e.g. "@{yesterday}" didn't diagnose a misspelled |
| time specification and instead assumed "@{now}". |
| |
| * "git archive HEAD -- no-such-directory" produced an empty archive |
| without complaining. |
| |
| * "git blame -L start,end -- file" misbehaved when given a start that is |
| larger than the number of lines in the file. |
| |
| * "git checkout -m" didn't correctly call custom merge backend supplied |
| by the end user. |
| |
| * "git config -f <file>" misbehaved when run from a subdirectory. |
| |
| * "git cvsserver" didn't like having regex metacharacters (e.g. '+') in |
| CVSROOT environment. |
| |
| * "git fast-import" did not correctly handle large blobs that may |
| bust the pack size limit. |
| |
| * "git gui" is supposed to work even when launched from inside a .git |
| directory. |
| |
| * "git gui" misbehaved when applying a hunk that ends with deletion. |
| |
| * "git imap-send" did not honor imap.preformattedHTML as documented. |
| |
| * "git log" family incorrectly showed the commit notes unconditionally by |
| mistake, which was especially irritating when running "git log --oneline". |
| |
| * "git status" shouldn't require an write access to the repository. |
| |
| Other minor documentation updates are included. |
