- GIT v1.6.1.2 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.6.1.1
- --------------------
-
- * The logic for rename detection in internal diff used by commands like
- "git diff" and "git blame" has been optimized to avoid loading the same
- blob repeatedly.
-
- * We did not allow writing out a blob that is larger than 2GB for no good
- reason.
-
- * "git format-patch -o $dir", when $dir is a relative directory, used it
- as relative to the root of the work tree, not relative to the current
- directory.
-
- * v1.6.1 introduced an optimization for "git push" into a repository (A)
- that borrows its objects from another repository (B) to avoid sending
- objects that are available in repository B, when they are not yet used
- by repository A. However the code on the "git push" sender side was
- buggy and did not work when repository B had new objects that are not
- known by the sender. This caused pushing into a "forked" repository
- served by v1.6.1 software using "git push" from v1.6.1 sometimes did not
- work. The bug was purely on the "git push" sender side, and has been
- corrected.
-
- * "git status -v" did not paint its diff output in colour even when
- color.ui configuration was set.
-
- * "git ls-tree" learned --full-tree option to help Porcelain scripts that
- want to always see the full path regardless of the current working
- directory.
-
- * "git grep" incorrectly searched in work tree paths even when they are
- marked as assume-unchanged. It now searches in the index entries.
-
- * "git gc" with no grace period needlessly ejected packed but unreachable
- objects in their loose form, only to delete them right away.
