| GIT v1.6.4.4 Release Notes | |
| ========================== | |
| Fixes since v1.6.4.4 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * The workaround for Github server that sometimes gave 500 (Internal server | |
| error) response to HEAD requests in 1.6.4.3 introduced a regression that | |
| caused re-fetching projects over http to segfault in certain cases due | |
| to uninitialized pointer being freed. | |
| * "git pull" on an unborn branch used to consider anything in the work | |
| tree and the index discardable. | |
| * "git diff -b/w" did not work well on the incomplete line at the end of | |
| the file, due to an incorrect hashing of lines in the low-level xdiff | |
| routines. | |
| * "git checkout-index --prefix=$somewhere" used to work when $somewhere is | |
| a symbolic link to a directory elsewhere, but v1.6.4.2 broke it. | |
| * "git unpack-objects --strict", invoked when receive.fsckobjects | |
| configuration is set in the receiving repository of "git push", did not | |
| properly check the objects, especially the submodule links, it received. | |
| Other minor documentation updates are included. |
