- GIT v1.6.1.4 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.6.1.3
- --------------------
-
- * .gitignore learned to handle backslash as a quoting mechanism for
- comment introduction character "#".
- This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.1.
-
- * "git fast-export" produced wrong output with some parents missing from
- commits, when the history is clock-skewed.
-
- * "git fast-import" sometimes failed to read back objects it just wrote
- out and aborted, because it failed to flush stale cached data.
-
- * "git-ls-tree" and "git-diff-tree" used a pathspec correctly when
- deciding to descend into a subdirectory but they did not match the
- individual paths correctly. This caused pathspecs "abc/d ab" to match
- "abc/0" ("abc/d" made them decide to descend into the directory "abc/",
- and then "ab" incorrectly matched "abc/0" when it shouldn't).
- This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.3.
-
- * import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common directory
- prefix correctly.
- This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.2.
-
- * "git init" segfaulted when given an overlong template location via
- the --template= option.
- This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.4.
-
- * "git repack" did not error out when necessary object was missing in the
- repository.
-
- * git-repack (invoked from git-gc) did not work as nicely as it should in
- a repository that borrows objects from neighbours via alternates
- mechanism especially when some packs are marked with the ".keep" flag
- to prevent them from being repacked.
- This fix was first merged to 1.6.2.3.
-
- Also includes minor documentation fixes and updates.
