| GIT v1.5.3.5 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.5.3.4 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * Comes with git-gui 0.8.4. |
| |
| * "git-config" silently ignored options after --list; now it will |
| error out with a usage message. |
| |
| * "git-config --file" failed if the argument used a relative path |
| as it changed directories before opening the file. |
| |
| * "git-config --file" now displays a proper error message if it |
| cannot read the file specified on the command line. |
| |
| * "git-config", "git-diff", "git-apply" failed if run from a |
| subdirectory with relative GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE set. |
| |
| * "git-blame" crashed if run during a merge conflict. |
| |
| * "git-add -i" did not handle single line hunks correctly. |
| |
| * "git-rebase -i" and "git-stash apply" failed if external diff |
| drivers were used for one or more files in a commit. They now |
| avoid calling the external diff drivers. |
| |
| * "git-log --follow" did not work unless diff generation (e.g. -p) |
| was also requested. |
| |
| * "git-log --follow -B" did not work at all. Fixed. |
| |
| * "git-log -M -B" did not correctly handle cases of very large files |
| being renamed and replaced by very small files in the same commit. |
| |
| * "git-log" printed extra newlines between commits when a diff |
| was generated internally (e.g. -S or --follow) but not displayed. |
| |
| * "git-push" error message is more helpful when pushing to a |
| repository with no matching refs and none specified. |
| |
| * "git-push" now respects + (force push) on wildcard refspecs, |
| matching the behavior of git-fetch. |
| |
| * "git-filter-branch" now updates the working directory when it |
| has finished filtering the current branch. |
| |
| * "git-instaweb" no longer fails on Mac OS X. |
| |
| * "git-cvsexportcommit" didn't always create new parent directories |
| before trying to create new child directories. Fixed. |
| |
| * "git-fetch" printed a scary (but bogus) error message while |
| fetching a tag that pointed to a tree or blob. The error did |
| not impact correctness, only user perception. The bogus error |
| is no longer printed. |
| |
| * "git-ls-files --ignored" did not properly descend into non-ignored |
| directories that themselves contained ignored files if d_type |
| was not supported by the filesystem. This bug impacted systems |
| such as AFS. Fixed. |
| |
| * Git segfaulted when reading an invalid .gitattributes file. Fixed. |
| |
| * post-receive-email example hook was fixed for non-fast-forward |
| updates. |
| |
| * Documentation updates for supported (but previously undocumented) |
| options of "git-archive" and "git-reflog". |
| |
| * "make clean" no longer deletes the configure script that ships |
| with the git tarball, making multiple architecture builds easier. |
| |
| * "git-remote show origin" spewed a warning message from Perl |
| when no remote is defined for the current branch via |
| branch.<name>.remote configuration settings. |
| |
| * Building with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER excessively rebuilt contents |
| of perl/ subdirectory by rewriting perl.mak. |
| |
| * http.sslVerify configuration settings were not used in scripted |
| Porcelains. |
| |
| * "git-add" leaked a bit of memory while scanning for files to add. |
| |
| * A few workarounds to squelch false warnings from recent gcc have |
| been added. |
| |
| * "git-send-pack $remote frotz" segfaulted when there is nothing |
| named 'frotz' on the local end. |
| |
| * "git-rebase --interactive" did not handle its "--strategy" option |
| properly. |
