| GIT v1.5.6.4 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.5.6.3 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * Various commands could overflow its internal buffer on a platform |
| with small PATH_MAX value in a repository that has contents with |
| long pathnames. |
| |
| * There wasn't a way to make --pretty=format:%<> specifiers to honor |
| .mailmap name rewriting for authors and committers. Now you can with |
| %aN and %cN. |
| |
| * Bash completion wasted too many cycles; this has been optimized to be |
| usable again. |
| |
| * Bash completion lost ref part when completing something like "git show |
| pu:Makefile". |
| |
| * "git-cvsserver" did not clean up its temporary working area after annotate |
| request. |
| |
| * "git-daemon" called syslog() from its signal handler, which was a |
| no-no. |
| |
| * "git-fetch" into an empty repository used to remind that the fetch will |
| be huge by saying "no common commits", but this was an unnecessary |
| noise; it is already known by the user anyway. |
| |
| * "git-http-fetch" would have segfaulted when pack idx file retrieved |
| from the other side was corrupt. |
| |
| * "git-index-pack" used too much memory when dealing with a deep delta chain. |
| |
| * "git-mailinfo" (hence "git-am") did not correctly handle in-body [PATCH] |
| line to override the commit title taken from the mail Subject header. |
| |
| * "git-rebase -i -p" lost parents that are not involved in the history |
| being rewritten. |
| |
| * "git-rm" lost track of where the index file was when GIT_DIR was |
| specified as a relative path. |
| |
| * "git-rev-list --quiet" was not quiet as advertised. |
| |
| Contains other various documentation fixes. |
