| Git v1.6.5.3 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.6.5.2 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * info/grafts file didn't ignore trailing CR at the end of lines. |
| |
| * Packages generated on newer FC were unreadable by older versions of |
| RPM as the new default is to use stronger hash. |
| |
| * output from "git blame" was unreadable when the file ended in an |
| incomplete line. |
| |
| * "git add -i/-p" didn't handle deletion of empty files correctly. |
| |
| * "git clone" takes up to two parameters, but did not complain when |
| given more arguments than necessary and silently ignored them. |
| |
| * "git cvsimport" did not read files given as command line arguments |
| correctly when it is run from a subdirectory. |
| |
| * "git diff --color-words -U0" didn't work correctly. |
| |
| * The handling of blank lines at the end of file by "git diff/apply |
| --whitespace" was inconsistent with the other kinds of errors. |
| They are now colored, warned against, and fixed the same way as others. |
| |
| * There was no way to allow blank lines at the end of file without |
| allowing extra blanks at the end of lines. You can use blank-at-eof |
| and blank-at-eol whitespace error class to specify them separately. |
| The old trailing-space error class is now a short-hand to set both. |
| |
| * "-p" option to "git format-patch" was supposed to suppress diffstat |
| generation, but it was broken since 1.6.1. |
| |
| * "git imap-send" did not compile cleanly with newer OpenSSL. |
| |
| * "git help -a" outside of a git repository was broken. |
| |
| * "git ls-files -i" was supposed to be inverse of "git ls-files" without -i |
| with respect to exclude patterns, but it was broken since 1.6.5.2. |
| |
| * "git ls-remote" outside of a git repository over http was broken. |
| |
| * "git rebase -i" gave bogus error message when the command word was |
| misspelled. |
| |
| * "git receive-pack" that is run in response to "git push" did not run |
| garbage collection nor update-server-info, but in larger hosting sites, |
| these almost always need to be run. To help site administrators, the |
| command now runs "gc --auto" and "u-s-i" by setting receive.autogc |
| and receive.updateserverinfo configuration variables, respectively. |
| |
| * Release notes spelled the package name with incorrect capitalization. |
| |
| * "gitweb" did not escape non-ascii characters correctly in the URL. |
| |
| * "gitweb" showed "patch" link even for merge commits. |
| |
| * "gitweb" showed incorrect links for blob line numbers in pathinfo mode. |
| |
| Other minor documentation updates are included. |
