| GIT v1.6.0.3 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.6.0.2 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * "git archive --format=zip" did not honor core.autocrlf while |
| --format=tar did. |
| |
| * Continuing "git rebase -i" was very confused when the user left modified |
| files in the working tree while resolving conflicts. |
| |
| * Continuing "git rebase -i" was also very confused when the user left |
| some staged changes in the index after "edit". |
| |
| * "git rebase -i" now honors the pre-rebase hook, just like the |
| other rebase implementations "git rebase" and "git rebase -m". |
| |
| * "git rebase -i" incorrectly aborted when there is no commit to replay. |
| |
| * Behaviour of "git diff --quiet" was inconsistent with "diff --exit-code" |
| with the output redirected to /dev/null. |
| |
| * "git diff --no-index" on binary files no longer outputs a bogus |
| "diff --git" header line. |
| |
| * "git diff" hunk header patterns with multiple elements separated by LF |
| were not used correctly. |
| |
| * Hunk headers in "git diff" default to using extended regular |
| expressions, fixing some of the internal patterns on non-GNU |
| platforms. |
| |
| * New config "diff.*.xfuncname" exposes extended regular expressions |
| for user specified hunk header patterns. |
| |
| * "git gc" when ejecting otherwise unreachable objects from packfiles into |
| loose form leaked memory. |
| |
| * "git index-pack" was recently broken and mishandled objects added by |
| thin-pack completion processing under memory pressure. |
| |
| * "git index-pack" was recently broken and misbehaved when run from inside |
| .git/objects/pack/ directory. |
| |
| * "git stash apply sash@{1}" was fixed to error out. Prior versions |
| would have applied stash@{0} incorrectly. |
| |
| * "git stash apply" now offers a better suggestion on how to continue |
| if the working tree is currently dirty. |
| |
| * "git for-each-ref --format=%(subject)" fixed for commits with no |
| no newline in the message body. |
| |
| * "git remote" fixed to protect printf from user input. |
| |
| * "git remote show -v" now displays all URLs of a remote. |
| |
| * "git checkout -b branch" was confused when branch already existed. |
| |
| * "git checkout -q" once again suppresses the locally modified file list. |
| |
| * "git clone -q", "git fetch -q" asks remote side to not send |
| progress messages, actually making their output quiet. |
| |
| * Cross-directory renames are no longer used when creating packs. This |
| allows more graceful behavior on filesystems like sshfs. |
| |
| * Stale temporary files under $GIT_DIR/objects/pack are now cleaned up |
| automatically by "git prune". |
| |
| * "git merge" once again removes directories after the last file has |
| been removed from it during the merge. |
| |
| * "git merge" did not allocate enough memory for the structure itself when |
| enumerating the parents of the resulting commit. |
| |
| * "git blame -C -C" no longer segfaults while trying to pass blame if |
| it encounters a submodule reference. |
| |
| * "git rm" incorrectly claimed that you have local modifications when a |
| path was merely stat-dirty. |
| |
| * "git svn" fixed to display an error message when 'set-tree' failed, |
| instead of a Perl compile error. |
| |
| * "git submodule" fixed to handle checking out a different commit |
| than HEAD after initializing the submodule. |
| |
| * The "git commit" error message when there are still unmerged |
| files present was clarified to match "git write-tree". |
| |
| * "git init" was confused when core.bare or core.sharedRepository are set |
| in system or user global configuration file by mistake. When --bare or |
| --shared is given from the command line, these now override such |
| settings made outside the repositories. |
| |
| * Some segfaults due to uncaught NULL pointers were fixed in multiple |
| tools such as apply, reset, update-index. |
| |
| * Solaris builds now default to OLD_ICONV=1 to avoid compile warnings; |
| Solaris 8 does not define NEEDS_LIBICONV by default. |
| |
| * "Git.pm" tests relied on unnecessarily more recent version of Perl. |
| |
| * "gitweb" triggered undef warning on commits without log messages. |
| |
| * "gitweb" triggered undef warnings on missing trees. |
| |
| * "gitweb" now removes PATH_INFO from its URLs so users don't have |
| to manually set the URL in the gitweb configuration. |
| |
| * Bash completion removed support for legacy "git-fetch", "git-push" |
| and "git-pull" as these are no longer installed. Dashless form |
| ("git fetch") is still however supported. |
| |
| Many other documentation updates. |
