| Git v1.6.6.1 Release Notes | |
| ========================== | |
| Fixes since v1.6.6 | |
| ------------------ | |
| * "git blame" did not work well when commit lacked the author name. | |
| * "git branch -a name" wasn't diagnosed as an error. | |
| * "git count-objects" did not handle packfiles that are bigger than 4G on | |
| platforms with 32-bit off_t. | |
| * "git checkout -m other" while on a branch that does not have any commit | |
| segfaulted, instead of failing. | |
| * "git fast-import" choked when fed a tag that do not point at a | |
| commit. | |
| * "git grep" finding from work tree files could have fed garbage to | |
| the underlying regexec(3). | |
| * "git grep -L" didn't show empty files (they should never match, and | |
| they should always appear in -L output as unmatching). | |
| * "git rebase -i" did not abort cleanly if it failed to launch the editor. | |
| * "git reset --hard" did not work correctly when GIT_WORK_TREE environment | |
| variable is used to point at the root of the true work tree. | |
| * http-backend was not listed in the command list in the documentation. | |
| * Building on FreeBSD (both 7 and 8) needs OLD_ICONV set in the Makefile | |
| * "git checkout -m some-branch" while on an unborn branch crashed. | |
| Other minor documentation updates are included. |
