| Git v1.7.0.1 Release Notes | |
| ========================== | |
| Fixes since v1.7.0 | |
| ------------------ | |
| * In a freshly created repository "rev-parse HEAD^0" complained that | |
| it is dangling symref, even though "rev-parse HEAD" didn't. | |
| * "git show :no-such-name" tried to access the index without bounds | |
| check, leading to a potential segfault. | |
| * Message from "git cherry-pick" was harder to read and use than necessary | |
| when it stopped due to conflicting changes. | |
| * We referred to ".git/refs/" throughout the documentation when we | |
| meant to talk about abstract notion of "ref namespace". Because | |
| people's repositories often have packed refs these days, this was | |
| confusing. | |
| * "git diff --output=/path/that/cannot/be/written" did not correctly | |
| error out. | |
| * "git grep -e -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." could not be | |
| spelled as "git grep -- -pattern-that-begin-with-dash paths..." which | |
| would be a GNU way to use "--" as "end of options". | |
| * "git grep" compiled with threading support tried to access an | |
| uninitialized mutex on boxes with a single CPU. | |
| * "git stash pop -q --index" failed because the unnecessary --index | |
| option was propagated to "git stash drop" that is internally run at the | |
| end. | |
| And other minor fixes and documentation updates. |
