| 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. |
