- GIT v1.5.6.3 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.5.6.2
- --------------------
-
- * Setting core.sharedrepository to traditional "true" value was supposed to make
- the repository group writable but should not affect permission for others.
- However, since 1.5.6, it was broken to drop permission for others when umask is
- 022, making the repository unreadable by others.
-
- * Setting GIT_TRACE will report spawning of external process via run_command().
-
- * Using an object with very deep delta chain pinned memory needed for extracting
- intermediate base objects unnecessarily long, leading to excess memory usage.
-
- * Bash completion script did not notice '--' marker on the command
- line and tried the relatively slow "ref completion" even when
- completing arguments after one.
-
- * Registering a non-empty blob racily and then truncating the working
- tree file for it confused "racy-git avoidance" logic into thinking
- that the path is now unchanged.
-
- * The section that describes attributes related to git-archive were placed
- in a wrong place in the gitattributes(5) manual page.
-
- * "git am" was not helpful to the users when it detected that the committer
- information is not set up properly yet.
-
- * "git clone" had a leftover debugging fprintf().
-
- * "git clone -q" was not quiet enough as it used to and gave object count
- and progress reports.
-
- * "git clone" marked downloaded packfile with .keep; this could be a
- good thing if the remote side is well packed but otherwise not,
- especially for a project that is not really big.
-
- * "git daemon" used to call syslog() from a signal handler, which
- could raise signals of its own but generally is not reentrant. This
- was fixed by restructuring the code to report syslog() after the handler
- returns.
-
- * When "git push" tries to remove a remote ref, and corresponding
- tracking ref is missing, we used to report error (i.e. failure to
- remove something that does not exist).
-
- * "git mailinfo" (hence "git am") did not handle commit log messages in a
- MIME multipart mail correctly.
-
- Contains other various documentation fixes.
