| GIT v1.5.6.3 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.5.6.2 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * Setting core.sharedrepository to traditional "true" value was supposed to make |
| the repository group writable but should not affect permission for others. |
| However, since 1.5.6, it was broken to drop permission for others when umask is |
| 022, making the repository unreadable by others. |
| |
| * Setting GIT_TRACE will report spawning of external process via run_command(). |
| |
| * Using an object with very deep delta chain pinned memory needed for extracting |
| intermediate base objects unnecessarily long, leading to excess memory usage. |
| |
| * Bash completion script did not notice '--' marker on the command |
| line and tried the relatively slow "ref completion" even when |
| completing arguments after one. |
| |
| * Registering a non-empty blob racily and then truncating the working |
| tree file for it confused "racy-git avoidance" logic into thinking |
| that the path is now unchanged. |
| |
| * The section that describes attributes related to git-archive were placed |
| in a wrong place in the gitattributes(5) manual page. |
| |
| * "git am" was not helpful to the users when it detected that the committer |
| information is not set up properly yet. |
| |
| * "git clone" had a leftover debugging fprintf(). |
| |
| * "git clone -q" was not quiet enough as it used to and gave object count |
| and progress reports. |
| |
| * "git clone" marked downloaded packfile with .keep; this could be a |
| good thing if the remote side is well packed but otherwise not, |
| especially for a project that is not really big. |
| |
| * "git daemon" used to call syslog() from a signal handler, which |
| could raise signals of its own but generally is not reentrant. This |
| was fixed by restructuring the code to report syslog() after the handler |
| returns. |
| |
| * When "git push" tries to remove a remote ref, and corresponding |
| tracking ref is missing, we used to report error (i.e. failure to |
| remove something that does not exist). |
| |
| * "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") did not handle commit log messages in a |
| MIME multipart mail correctly. |
| |
| Contains other various documentation fixes. |
