- GIT v1.6.2.2 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.6.2.1
- --------------------
-
- * A longstanding confusing description of what --pickaxe option of
- git-diff does has been clarified in the documentation.
-
- * "git-blame -S" did not quite work near the commits that were given
- on the command line correctly.
-
- * "git diff --pickaxe-regexp" did not count overlapping matches
- correctly.
-
- * "git diff" did not feed files in work-tree representation to external
- diff and textconv.
-
- * "git-fetch" in a repository that was not cloned from anywhere said
- it cannot find 'origin', which was hard to understand for new people.
-
- * "git-format-patch --numbered-files --stdout" did not have to die of
- incompatible options; it now simply ignores --numbered-files as no files
- are produced anyway.
-
- * "git-ls-files --deleted" did not work well with GIT_DIR&GIT_WORK_TREE.
-
- * "git-read-tree A B C..." without -m option has been broken for a long
- time.
-
- * git-send-email ignored --in-reply-to when --no-thread was given.
-
- * 'git-submodule add' did not tolerate extra slashes and ./ in the path it
- accepted from the command line; it now is more lenient.
-
- * git-svn misbehaved when the project contained a path that began with
- two dashes.
-
- * import-zips script (in contrib) did not compute the common directory
- prefix correctly.
-
- * miscompilation of negated enum constants by old gcc (2.9) affected the
- codepaths to spawn subprocesses.
-
- Many small documentation updates are included as well.
