- GIT v1.5.4.6 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- I personally do not think there is any reason anybody should want to
- run v1.5.4.X series these days, because 'master' version is always
- more stable than any tagged released version of git.
-
- This is primarily to futureproof "git-shell" to accept requests
- without a dash between "git" and subcommand name (e.g. "git
- upload-pack") which the newer client will start to make sometime in
- the future.
-
- Fixes since v1.5.4.5
- --------------------
-
- * Command line option "-n" to "git-repack" was not correctly parsed.
-
- * Error messages from "git-apply" when the patchfile cannot be opened
- have been improved.
-
- * Error messages from "git-bisect" when given nonsense revisions have
- been improved.
-
- * reflog syntax that uses time e.g. "HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path" did not
- stop parsing at the closing "}".
-
- * "git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name ^master^2" printed solitary "^",
- but it should print nothing.
-
- * "git apply" did not enforce "match at the beginning" correctly.
-
- * a path specification "a/b" in .gitattributes file should not match
- "sub/a/b", but it did.
-
- * "git log --date-order --topo-order" did not override the earlier
- date-order with topo-order as expected.
-
- * "git fast-export" did not export octopus merges correctly.
-
- * "git archive --prefix=$path/" mishandled gitattributes.
-
- As usual, it also comes with many documentation fixes and clarifications.
