| GIT v1.6.0.5 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.6.0.4 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * "git checkout" used to crash when your HEAD was pointing at a deleted |
| branch. |
| |
| * "git checkout" from an un-checked-out state did not allow switching out |
| of the current branch. |
| |
| * "git diff" always allowed GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and --no-ext-diff was no-op for |
| the command. |
| |
| * Giving 3 or more tree-ish to "git diff" is supposed to show the combined |
| diff from second and subsequent trees to the first one, but the order was |
| screwed up. |
| |
| * "git fast-export" did not export all tags. |
| |
| * "git ls-files --with-tree=<tree>" did not work with options other |
| than -c, most notably with -m. |
| |
| * "git pack-objects" did not make its best effort to honor --max-pack-size |
| option when a single first object already busted the given limit and |
| placed many objects in a single pack. |
| |
| * "git-p4" fast import frontend was too eager to trigger its keyword expansion |
| logic, even on a keyword-looking string that does not have closing '$' on the |
| same line. |
| |
| * "git push $there" when the remote $there is defined in $GIT_DIR/branches/$there |
| behaves more like what cg-push from Cogito used to work. |
| |
| * when giving up resolving a conflicted merge, "git reset --hard" failed |
| to remove new paths from the working tree. |
| |
| * "git tag" did not complain when given mutually incompatible set of options. |
| |
| * The message constructed in the internal editor was discarded when "git |
| tag -s" failed to sign the message, which was often caused by the user |
| not configuring GPG correctly. |
| |
| * "make check" cannot be run without sparse; people may have meant to say |
| "make test" instead, so suggest that. |
| |
| * Internal diff machinery had a corner case performance bug that choked on |
| a large file with many repeated contents. |
| |
| * "git repack" used to grab objects out of packs marked with .keep |
| into a new pack. |
| |
| * Many unsafe call to sprintf() style varargs functions are corrected. |
| |
| * Also contains quite a few documentation updates. |
