| GIT v1.6.4.2 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.6.4.1 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * --date=relative output between 1 and 5 years ago rounded the number of |
| years when saying X years Y months ago, instead of rounding it down. |
| |
| * "git add -p" did not handle changes in executable bits correctly |
| (a regression around 1.6.3). |
| |
| * "git apply" did not honor GNU diff's convention to mark the creation/deletion |
| event with UNIX epoch timestamp on missing side. |
| |
| * "git checkout" incorrectly removed files in a directory pointed by a |
| symbolic link during a branch switch that replaces a directory with |
| a symbolic link. |
| |
| * "git clean -d -f" happily descended into a subdirectory that is managed by a |
| separate git repository. It now requires two -f options for safety. |
| |
| * "git fetch/push" over http transports had two rather grave bugs. |
| |
| * "git format-patch --cover-letter" did not prepare the cover letter file |
| for use with non-ASCII strings when there are the series contributors with |
| non-ASCII names. |
| |
| * "git pull origin branch" and "git fetch origin && git merge origin/branch" |
| left different merge messages in the resulting commit. |
| |
| Other minor documentation updates are included. |
