| GIT v1.6.0.3 Release Notes | |
| ========================== | |
| Fixes since v1.6.0.2 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * "git archive --format=zip" did not honor core.autocrlf while | |
| --format=tar did. | |
| * Continuing "git rebase -i" was very confused when the user left modified | |
| files in the working tree while resolving conflicts. | |
| * Continuing "git rebase -i" was also very confused when the user left | |
| some staged changes in the index after "edit". | |
| * "git rebase -i" now honors the pre-rebase hook, just like the | |
| other rebase implementations "git rebase" and "git rebase -m". | |
| * "git rebase -i" incorrectly aborted when there is no commit to replay. | |
| * Behaviour of "git diff --quiet" was inconsistent with "diff --exit-code" | |
| with the output redirected to /dev/null. | |
| * "git diff --no-index" on binary files no longer outputs a bogus | |
| "diff --git" header line. | |
| * "git diff" hunk header patterns with multiple elements separated by LF | |
| were not used correctly. | |
| * Hunk headers in "git diff" default to using extended regular | |
| expressions, fixing some of the internal patterns on non-GNU | |
| platforms. | |
| * New config "diff.*.xfuncname" exposes extended regular expressions | |
| for user specified hunk header patterns. | |
| * "git gc" when ejecting otherwise unreachable objects from packfiles into | |
| loose form leaked memory. | |
| * "git index-pack" was recently broken and mishandled objects added by | |
| thin-pack completion processing under memory pressure. | |
| * "git index-pack" was recently broken and misbehaved when run from inside | |
| .git/objects/pack/ directory. | |
| * "git stash apply sash@{1}" was fixed to error out. Prior versions | |
| would have applied stash@{0} incorrectly. | |
| * "git stash apply" now offers a better suggestion on how to continue | |
| if the working tree is currently dirty. | |
| * "git for-each-ref --format=%(subject)" fixed for commits with no | |
| newline in the message body. | |
| * "git remote" fixed to protect printf from user input. | |
| * "git remote show -v" now displays all URLs of a remote. | |
| * "git checkout -b branch" was confused when branch already existed. | |
| * "git checkout -q" once again suppresses the locally modified file list. | |
| * "git clone -q", "git fetch -q" asks remote side to not send | |
| progress messages, actually making their output quiet. | |
| * Cross-directory renames are no longer used when creating packs. This | |
| allows more graceful behavior on filesystems like sshfs. | |
| * Stale temporary files under $GIT_DIR/objects/pack are now cleaned up | |
| automatically by "git prune". | |
| * "git merge" once again removes directories after the last file has | |
| been removed from it during the merge. | |
| * "git merge" did not allocate enough memory for the structure itself when | |
| enumerating the parents of the resulting commit. | |
| * "git blame -C -C" no longer segfaults while trying to pass blame if | |
| it encounters a submodule reference. | |
| * "git rm" incorrectly claimed that you have local modifications when a | |
| path was merely stat-dirty. | |
| * "git svn" fixed to display an error message when 'set-tree' failed, | |
| instead of a Perl compile error. | |
| * "git submodule" fixed to handle checking out a different commit | |
| than HEAD after initializing the submodule. | |
| * The "git commit" error message when there are still unmerged | |
| files present was clarified to match "git write-tree". | |
| * "git init" was confused when core.bare or core.sharedRepository are set | |
| in system or user global configuration file by mistake. When --bare or | |
| --shared is given from the command line, these now override such | |
| settings made outside the repositories. | |
| * Some segfaults due to uncaught NULL pointers were fixed in multiple | |
| tools such as apply, reset, update-index. | |
| * Solaris builds now default to OLD_ICONV=1 to avoid compile warnings; | |
| Solaris 8 does not define NEEDS_LIBICONV by default. | |
| * "Git.pm" tests relied on unnecessarily more recent version of Perl. | |
| * "gitweb" triggered undef warning on commits without log messages. | |
| * "gitweb" triggered undef warnings on missing trees. | |
| * "gitweb" now removes PATH_INFO from its URLs so users don't have | |
| to manually set the URL in the gitweb configuration. | |
| * Bash completion removed support for legacy "git-fetch", "git-push" | |
| and "git-pull" as these are no longer installed. Dashless form | |
| ("git fetch") is still however supported. | |
| Many other documentation updates. |
