| GIT v1.6.0.2 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.6.0.1 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * Installation on platforms that needs .exe suffix to git-* programs were |
| broken in 1.6.0.1. |
| |
| * Installation on filesystems without symbolic links support did not |
| work well. |
| |
| * In-tree documentations and test scripts now use "git foo" form to set a |
| better example, instead of the "git-foo" form (which is an acceptable |
| form if you have "PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH" in your script) |
| |
| * Many commands did not use the correct working tree location when used |
| with GIT_WORK_TREE environment settings. |
| |
| * Some systems needs to use compatibility fnmach and regex libraries |
| independent from each other; the compat/ area has been reorganized to |
| allow this. |
| |
| |
| * "git apply --unidiff-zero" incorrectly applied a -U0 patch that inserts |
| a new line before the second line. |
| |
| * "git blame -c" did not exactly work like "git annotate" when range |
| boundaries are involved. |
| |
| * "git checkout file" when file is still unmerged checked out contents from |
| a random high order stage, which was confusing. |
| |
| * "git clone $there $here/" with extra trailing slashes after explicit |
| local directory name $here did not work as expected. |
| |
| * "git diff" on tracked contents with CRLF line endings did not drive "less" |
| intelligently when showing added or removed lines. |
| |
| * "git diff --dirstat -M" did not add changes in subdirectories up |
| correctly for renamed paths. |
| |
| * "git diff --cumulative" did not imply "--dirstat". |
| |
| * "git for-each-ref refs/heads/" did not work as expected. |
| |
| * "git gui" allowed users to feed patch without any context to be applied. |
| |
| * "git gui" botched parsing "diff" output when a line that begins with two |
| dashes and a space gets removed or a line that begins with two pluses |
| and a space gets added. |
| |
| * "git gui" translation updates and i18n fixes. |
| |
| * "git index-pack" is more careful against disk corruption while completing |
| a thin pack. |
| |
| * "git log -i --grep=pattern" did not ignore case; neither "git log -E |
| --grep=pattern" triggered extended regexp. |
| |
| * "git log --pretty="%ad" --date=short" did not use short format when |
| showing the timestamp. |
| |
| * "git log --author=author" match incorrectly matched with the |
| timestamp part of "author " line in commit objects. |
| |
| * "git log -F --author=author" did not work at all. |
| |
| * Build procedure for "git shell" that used stub versions of some |
| functions and globals was not understood by linkers on some platforms. |
| |
| * "git stash" was fooled by a stat-dirty but otherwise unmodified paths |
| and refused to work until the user refreshed the index. |
| |
| * "git svn" was broken on Perl before 5.8 with recent fixes to reduce |
| use of temporary files. |
| |
| * "git verify-pack -v" did not work correctly when given more than one |
| packfile. |
| |
| Also contains many documentation updates. |
