- GIT v1.5.0.2 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.5.0.1
- --------------------
-
- * Bugfixes
-
- - Automated merge conflict handling when changes to symbolic
- links conflicted were completely broken. The merge-resolve
- strategy created a regular file with conflict markers in it
- in place of the symbolic link. The default strategy,
- merge-recursive was even more broken. It removed the path
- that was pointed at by the symbolic link. Both of these
- problems have been fixed.
-
- - 'git diff maint master next' did not correctly give combined
- diff across three trees.
-
- - 'git fast-import' portability fix for Solaris.
-
- - 'git show-ref --verify' without arguments did not error out
- but segfaulted.
-
- - 'git diff :tracked-file `pwd`/an-untracked-file' gave an extra
- slashes after a/ and b/.
-
- - 'git format-patch' produced too long filenames if the commit
- message had too long line at the beginning.
-
- - Running 'make all' and then without changing anything
- running 'make install' still rebuilt some files. This
- was inconvenient when building as yourself and then
- installing as root (especially problematic when the source
- directory is on NFS and root is mapped to nobody).
-
- - 'git-rerere' failed to deal with two unconflicted paths that
- sorted next to each other.
-
- - 'git-rerere' attempted to open(2) a symlink and failed if
- there was a conflict. Since a conflicting change to a
- symlink would not benefit from rerere anyway, the command
- now ignores conflicting changes to symlinks.
-
- - 'git-repack' did not like to pass more than 64 arguments
- internally to underlying 'rev-list' logic, which made it
- impossible to repack after accumulating many (small) packs
- in the repository.
-
- - 'git-diff' to review the combined diff during a conflicted
- merge were not reading the working tree version correctly
- when changes to a symbolic link conflicted. It should have
- read the data using readlink(2) but read from the regular
- file the symbolic link pointed at.
-
- - 'git-remote' did not like period in a remote's name.
-
- * Documentation updates
-
- - added and clarified core.bare, core.legacyheaders configurations.
-
- - updated "git-clone --depth" documentation.
-
-
- * Assorted git-gui fixes.
