- GIT v1.5.6.4 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.5.6.3
- --------------------
-
- * Various commands could overflow its internal buffer on a platform
- with small PATH_MAX value in a repository that has contents with
- long pathnames.
-
- * There wasn't a way to make --pretty=format:%<> specifiers to honor
- .mailmap name rewriting for authors and committers. Now you can with
- %aN and %cN.
-
- * Bash completion wasted too many cycles; this has been optimized to be
- usable again.
-
- * Bash completion lost ref part when completing something like "git show
- pu:Makefile".
-
- * "git-cvsserver" did not clean up its temporary working area after annotate
- request.
-
- * "git-daemon" called syslog() from its signal handler, which was a
- no-no.
-
- * "git-fetch" into an empty repository used to remind that the fetch will
- be huge by saying "no common commits", but this was an unnecessary
- noise; it is already known by the user anyway.
-
- * "git-http-fetch" would have segfaulted when pack idx file retrieved
- from the other side was corrupt.
-
- * "git-index-pack" used too much memory when dealing with a deep delta chain.
-
- * "git-mailinfo" (hence "git-am") did not correctly handle in-body [PATCH]
- line to override the commit title taken from the mail Subject header.
-
- * "git-rebase -i -p" lost parents that are not involved in the history
- being rewritten.
-
- * "git-rm" lost track of where the index file was when GIT_DIR was
- specified as a relative path.
-
- * "git-rev-list --quiet" was not quiet as advertised.
-
- Contains other various documentation fixes.
