| Git v1.6.5.4 Release Notes |
| ========================== |
| |
| Fixes since v1.6.5.3 |
| -------------------- |
| |
| * "git help" (without argument) used to check if you are in a directory |
| under git control. There was no breakage in behaviour per-se, but this |
| was unnecessary. |
| |
| * "git prune-packed" gave progress output even when its standard error is |
| not connected to a terminal; this caused cron jobs that run it to |
| produce crufts. |
| |
| * "git pack-objects --all-progress" is an option to ask progress output |
| from write-object phase _if_ progress output were to be produced, and |
| shouldn't have forced the progress output. |
| |
| * "git apply -p<n> --directory=<elsewhere>" did not work well for a |
| non-default value of n. |
| |
| * "git merge foo HEAD" was misparsed as an old-style invocation of the |
| command and produced a confusing error message. As it does not specify |
| any other branch to merge, it shouldn't be mistaken as such. We will |
| remove the old style "git merge <message> HEAD <commit>..." syntax in |
| future versions, but not in this release, |
| |
| * "git merge -m <message> <branch>..." added the standard merge message |
| on its own after user-supplied message, which should have overridden the |
| standard one. |
| |
| Other minor documentation updates are included. |
