| Git v1.7.11.5 Release Notes |
| =========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.7.11.4 |
| --------------------- |
| |
| * The Makefile rule to create assembly output (primarily for |
| debugging purposes) did not create it next to the source. |
| |
| * The code to avoid mistaken attempt to add the object directory |
| itself as its own alternate could read beyond end of a string while |
| comparison. |
| |
| * On some architectures, "block-sha1" did not compile correctly |
| when compilers inferred alignment guarantees from our source we |
| did not intend to make. |
| |
| * When talking to a remote running ssh on IPv6 enabled host, whose |
| address is spelled as "[HOST]:PORT", we did not parse the address |
| correctly and failed to connect. |
| |
| * git-blame.el (in compat/) have been updated to use Elisp more |
| correctly. |
| |
| * "git checkout <branchname>" to come back from a detached HEAD state |
| incorrectly computed reachability of the detached HEAD, resulting |
| in unnecessary warnings. |
| |
| * "git mergetool" did not support --tool-help option to give the list |
| of supported backends, like "git difftool" does. |
| |
| * "git grep" stopped spawning an external "grep" long time ago, but a |
| duplicated test to check internal and external "grep" was left |
| behind. |
| |
| Also contains minor typofixes and documentation updates. |
