| Git v1.6.5.3 Release Notes | |
| ========================== | |
| Fixes since v1.6.5.2 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * info/grafts file didn't ignore trailing CR at the end of lines. | |
| * Packages generated on newer FC were unreadable by older versions of | |
| RPM as the new default is to use stronger hash. | |
| * output from "git blame" was unreadable when the file ended in an | |
| incomplete line. | |
| * "git add -i/-p" didn't handle deletion of empty files correctly. | |
| * "git clone" takes up to two parameters, but did not complain when | |
| given more arguments than necessary and silently ignored them. | |
| * "git cvsimport" did not read files given as command line arguments | |
| correctly when it is run from a subdirectory. | |
| * "git diff --color-words -U0" didn't work correctly. | |
| * The handling of blank lines at the end of file by "git diff/apply | |
| --whitespace" was inconsistent with the other kinds of errors. | |
| They are now colored, warned against, and fixed the same way as others. | |
| * There was no way to allow blank lines at the end of file without | |
| allowing extra blanks at the end of lines. You can use blank-at-eof | |
| and blank-at-eol whitespace error class to specify them separately. | |
| The old trailing-space error class is now a short-hand to set both. | |
| * "-p" option to "git format-patch" was supposed to suppress diffstat | |
| generation, but it was broken since 1.6.1. | |
| * "git imap-send" did not compile cleanly with newer OpenSSL. | |
| * "git help -a" outside of a git repository was broken. | |
| * "git ls-files -i" was supposed to be inverse of "git ls-files" without -i | |
| with respect to exclude patterns, but it was broken since 1.6.5.2. | |
| * "git ls-remote" outside of a git repository over http was broken. | |
| * "git rebase -i" gave bogus error message when the command word was | |
| misspelled. | |
| * "git receive-pack" that is run in response to "git push" did not run | |
| garbage collection nor update-server-info, but in larger hosting sites, | |
| these almost always need to be run. To help site administrators, the | |
| command now runs "gc --auto" and "u-s-i" by setting receive.autogc | |
| and receive.updateserverinfo configuration variables, respectively. | |
| * Release notes spelled the package name with incorrect capitalization. | |
| * "gitweb" did not escape non-ascii characters correctly in the URL. | |
| * "gitweb" showed "patch" link even for merge commits. | |
| * "gitweb" showed incorrect links for blob line numbers in pathinfo mode. | |
| Other minor documentation updates are included. |
