- GIT v1.5.1.3 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.5.1.2
- --------------------
-
- * Bugfixes
-
- - git-add tried to optimize by finding common leading
- directories across its arguments but botched, causing very
- confused behaviour.
-
- - unofficial rpm.spec file shipped with git was letting
- ETC_GITCONFIG set to /usr/etc/gitconfig. Tweak the official
- Makefile to make it harder for distro people to make the
- same mistake, by setting the variable to /etc/gitconfig if
- prefix is set to /usr.
-
- - git-svn inconsistently stripped away username from the URL
- only when svnsync_props was in use.
-
- - git-svn got confused when handling symlinks on Mac OS.
-
- - git-send-email was not quoting recipient names that have
- period '.' in them. Also it did not allow overriding
- envelope sender, which made it impossible to send patches to
- certain subscriber-only lists.
-
- - built-in write_tree() routine had a sequence that renamed a
- file that is still open, which some systems did not like.
-
- - when memory is very tight, sliding mmap code to read
- packfiles incorrectly closed the fd that was still being
- used to read the pack.
-
- - import-tars contributed front-end for fastimport was passing
- wrong directory modes without checking.
-
- - git-fastimport trusted its input too much and allowed to
- create corrupt tree objects with entries without a name.
-
- - git-fetch needlessly barfed when too long reflog action
- description was given by the caller.
-
- Also contains various documentation updates.
