| GIT v1.6.1.2 Release Notes | |
| ========================== | |
| Fixes since v1.6.1.1 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * The logic for rename detection in internal diff used by commands like | |
| "git diff" and "git blame" has been optimized to avoid loading the same | |
| blob repeatedly. | |
| * We did not allow writing out a blob that is larger than 2GB for no good | |
| reason. | |
| * "git format-patch -o $dir", when $dir is a relative directory, used it | |
| as relative to the root of the work tree, not relative to the current | |
| directory. | |
| * v1.6.1 introduced an optimization for "git push" into a repository (A) | |
| that borrows its objects from another repository (B) to avoid sending | |
| objects that are available in repository B, when they are not yet used | |
| by repository A. However the code on the "git push" sender side was | |
| buggy and did not work when repository B had new objects that are not | |
| known by the sender. This caused pushing into a "forked" repository | |
| served by v1.6.1 software using "git push" from v1.6.1 sometimes did not | |
| work. The bug was purely on the "git push" sender side, and has been | |
| corrected. | |
| * "git status -v" did not paint its diff output in colour even when | |
| color.ui configuration was set. | |
| * "git ls-tree" learned --full-tree option to help Porcelain scripts that | |
| want to always see the full path regardless of the current working | |
| directory. | |
| * "git grep" incorrectly searched in work tree paths even when they are | |
| marked as assume-unchanged. It now searches in the index entries. | |
| * "git gc" with no grace period needlessly ejected packed but unreachable | |
| objects in their loose form, only to delete them right away. |
