| GIT v1.5.4.6 Release Notes | |
| ========================== | |
| I personally do not think there is any reason anybody should want to | |
| run v1.5.4.X series these days, because 'master' version is always | |
| more stable than any tagged released version of git. | |
| This is primarily to futureproof "git-shell" to accept requests | |
| without a dash between "git" and subcommand name (e.g. "git | |
| upload-pack") which the newer client will start to make sometime in | |
| the future. | |
| Fixes since v1.5.4.5 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Command line option "-n" to "git-repack" was not correctly parsed. | |
| * Error messages from "git-apply" when the patchfile cannot be opened | |
| have been improved. | |
| * Error messages from "git-bisect" when given nonsense revisions have | |
| been improved. | |
| * reflog syntax that uses time e.g. "HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path" did not | |
| stop parsing at the closing "}". | |
| * "git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name ^master^2" printed solitary "^", | |
| but it should print nothing. | |
| * "git apply" did not enforce "match at the beginning" correctly. | |
| * a path specification "a/b" in .gitattributes file should not match | |
| "sub/a/b", but it did. | |
| * "git log --date-order --topo-order" did not override the earlier | |
| date-order with topo-order as expected. | |
| * "git fast-export" did not export octopus merges correctly. | |
| * "git archive --prefix=$path/" mishandled gitattributes. | |
| As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications. | |
