| GIT v1.6.1.4 Release Notes | |
| ========================== | |
| Fixes since v1.6.1.3 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism for | |
| comment introduction character "#". | |
| This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.1. | |
| * "git fast-export" produced wrong output with some parents missing from | |
| commits, when the history is clock-skewed. | |
| * "git fast-import" sometimes failed to read back objects it just wrote | |
| out and aborted, because it failed to flush stale cached data. | |
| * "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when | |
| deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the | |
| individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match | |
| "abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/", | |
| and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't). | |
| This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.3. | |
| * import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common directory | |
| prefix correctly. | |
| This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.2. | |
| * "git init" segfaulted when given an overlong template location via | |
| the --template= option. | |
| This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.4. | |
| * "git repack" did not error out when necessary object was missing in the | |
| repository. | |
| * git-repack (invoked from git-gc) did not work as nicely as it should in | |
| a repository that borrows objects from neighbours via alternates | |
| mechanism especially when some packs are marked with the ".keep" flag | |
| to prevent them from being repacked. | |
| This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.3. | |
| Also includes minor documentation fixes and updates. |
