| 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. |
