| GIT v1.5.1.3 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.5.1.2 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * Bugfixes |
| |
| - git-add tried to optimize by finding common leading |
| directories across its arguments but botched, causing very |
| confused behaviour. |
| |
| - unofficial rpm.spec file shipped with git was letting |
| ETC_GITCONFIG set to /usr/etc/gitconfig. Tweak the official |
| Makefile to make it harder for distro people to make the |
| same mistake, by setting the variable to /etc/gitconfig if |
| prefix is set to /usr. |
| |
| - git-svn inconsistently stripped away username from the URL |
| only when svnsync_props was in use. |
| |
| - git-svn got confused when handling symlinks on Mac OS. |
| |
| - git-send-email was not quoting recipient names that have |
| period '.' in them. Also it did not allow overriding |
| envelope sender, which made it impossible to send patches to |
| certain subscriber-only lists. |
| |
| - built-in write_tree() routine had a sequence that renamed a |
| file that is still open, which some systems did not like. |
| |
| - when memory is very tight, sliding mmap code to read |
| packfiles incorrectly closed the fd that was still being |
| used to read the pack. |
| |
| - import-tars contributed front-end for fastimport was passing |
| wrong directory modes without checking. |
| |
| - git-fastimport trusted its input too much and allowed to |
| create corrupt tree objects with entries without a name. |
| |
| - git-fetch needlessly barfed when too long reflog action |
| description was given by the caller. |
| |
| Also contains various documentation updates. |
