- GIT v1.6.4.2 Release Notes
- ==========================
-
- Fixes since v1.6.4.1
- --------------------
-
- * --date=relative output between 1 and 5 years ago rounded the number of
- years when saying X years Y months ago, instead of rounding it down.
-
- * "git add -p" did not handle changes in executable bits correctly
- (a regression around 1.6.3).
-
- * "git apply" did not honor GNU diff's convention to mark the creation/deletion
- event with UNIX epoch timestamp on missing side.
-
- * "git checkout" incorrectly removed files in a directory pointed by a
- symbolic link during a branch switch that replaces a directory with
- a symbolic link.
-
- * "git clean -d -f" happily descended into a subdirectory that is managed by a
- separate git repository. It now requires two -f options for safety.
-
- * "git fetch/push" over http transports had two rather grave bugs.
-
- * "git format-patch --cover-letter" did not prepare the cover letter file
- for use with non-ASCII strings when there are the series contributors with
- non-ASCII names.
-
- * "git pull origin branch" and "git fetch origin && git merge origin/branch"
- left different merge messages in the resulting commit.
-
- Other minor documentation updates are included.
