- GIT v1.5.6.2 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Futureproof
- -----------
-
- * "git-shell" accepts 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 v1.5.6.1
- --------------------
-
- * "git clone" from a remote that is named with url.insteadOf setting in
- $HOME/.gitconfig did not work well.
-
- * "git describe --long --tags" segfaulted when the described revision was
- tagged with a lightweight tag.
-
- * "git diff --check" did not report the result via its exit status
- reliably.
-
- * When remote side used to have branch 'foo' and git-fetch finds that now
- it has branch 'foo/bar', it refuses to lose the existing remote tracking
- branch and its reflog. The error message has been improved to suggest
- pruning the remote if the user wants to proceed and get the latest set
- of branches from the remote, including such 'foo/bar'.
-
- * "git reset file" should mean the same thing as "git reset HEAD file",
- but we required disambiguating -- even when "file" is not ambiguous.
-
- * "git show" segfaulted when an annotated tag that points at another
- annotated tag was given to it.
-
- * Optimization for a large import via "git-svn" introduced in v1.5.6 had a
- serious memory and temporary file leak, which made it unusable for
- moderately large import.
-
- * "git-svn" mangled remote nickname used in the configuration file
- unnecessarily.
