- GIT v1.6.1.1 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.6.1
- ------------------
-
- * "git add frotz/nitfol" when "frotz" is a submodule should have errored
- out, but it didn't.
-
- * "git apply" took file modes from the patch text and updated the mode
- bits of the target tree even when the patch was not about mode changes.
-
- * "git bisect view" on Cygwin did not launch gitk
-
- * "git checkout $tree" did not trigger an error.
-
- * "git commit" tried to remove COMMIT_EDITMSG from the work tree by mistake.
-
- * "git describe --all" complained when a commit is described with a tag,
- which was nonsense.
-
- * "git diff --no-index --" did not trigger no-index (aka "use git-diff as
- a replacement of diff on untracked files") behaviour.
-
- * "git format-patch -1 HEAD" on a root commit failed to produce patch
- text.
-
- * "git fsck branch" did not work as advertised; instead it behaved the same
- way as "git fsck".
-
- * "git log --pretty=format:%s" did not handle a multi-line subject the
- same way as built-in log listers (i.e. shortlog, --pretty=oneline, etc.)
-
- * "git daemon", and "git merge-file" are more careful when freopen fails
- and barf, instead of going on and writing to unopened filehandle.
-
- * "git http-push" did not like some RFC 4918 compliant DAV server
- responses.
-
- * "git merge -s recursive" mistakenly overwritten an untracked file in the
- work tree upon delete/modify conflict.
-
- * "git merge -s recursive" didn't leave the index unmerged for entries with
- rename/delete conflicts.
-
- * "git merge -s recursive" clobbered untracked files in the work tree.
-
- * "git mv -k" with more than one erroneous paths misbehaved.
-
- * "git read-tree -m -u" hence branch switching incorrectly lost a
- subdirectory in rare cases.
-
- * "git rebase -i" issued an unnecessary error message upon a user error of
- marking the first commit to be "squash"ed.
-
- * "git shortlog" did not format a commit message with multi-line
- subject correctly.
-
- Many documentation updates.
